1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Friday edition, Clay Travis buck 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: I know that many of you have already started your 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: Memorial Day weekend. Maybe you are listening by the pool, 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: maybe you are listening on the golf course or on 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: the road as you begin your travel. Positive right off 8 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: the top four year low on gas prices. For those 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: of you as we enter the summer holiday travel season, 10 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: you have never paid less, certainly as a percentage of 11 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: the inflation that Joe Biden ran up to a large 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: extent than what you are going to be paying for 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: gas this weekend. And that is a sign that the 14 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: Trump economy is beginning to pick up speed. Because I've 15 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: argued for some time on this program that the number 16 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: one way most people in America side how the economy 17 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: is going is by what you have to pay when 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: you fill up your gas tank. And we are at 19 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: four year lows, and if you factor in the crazy 20 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: Biden inflation, the lows are even better because unfortunately, our 21 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: dollar has been devalued by the twenty plus percent increase 22 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: in prices that we saw during Biden's tenure. But we 23 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about today. Buck is out. 24 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: He'll be back on Tuesday, but I am solo with 25 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: you here today. We got a bunch of guests in 26 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 1: the back half of the program. Carol Markowitz going to 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: join us at one point thirty. She is a part 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: of the Clay Travis buck Sexton Show podcasting network, and 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: she has been very outspoken on how anti Semitism as 30 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: well as the COVID chaos has impacted her own life. 31 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: She has three young kids. She has podcasts normally about 32 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: being a mom with Mary Catherine Ham. We will talk 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: with her at one thirty Eastern about halfway through the program. 34 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: Frank Siller as wed into Memorial Day. Frank Siller from 35 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers will join us in the third hour, 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: and then West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey. That is the 37 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: lineup of guests that we are headed into discussion with 38 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: in the back half of the program. But I wanted 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: to start with an idea that I see linking a 40 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: lot of different aspects of the modern culture that we 41 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: are in, and sadly I was thinking quite a lot 42 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: about it in the wake of the murder of two 43 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: innocent Jewish people in the streets of Washington, d C. 44 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: Because they happen to have the gall to be Jewish, 45 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: and that, you guys know, I'm a big history fan. 46 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: And the reason I love history is because nothing is 47 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: ever new. There is always a reflection in some way 48 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: of a past history oracle story that is in some 49 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: way slightly different, but in many ways evocative of what 50 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: has happened before. And I want to do a little 51 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: bit of a deep dive here off the top, because 52 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: I'm seeing all these different connecting tendrils that to me 53 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: are telling us that we are on a path that 54 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: we have to reject because I don't like where it's 55 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: leading us. And yes, Trump November fifth, twenty twenty four 56 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: was incredibly important, and there are lines of demarcations suggesting 57 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: that we are rejecting that path. But I actually saw 58 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: a connection between what happened in Washington, d C. And 59 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: what we're seeing happen in the identity politics culture arena 60 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: in which we all live now. And so let me 61 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: kind of explain exactly where these connections are and how 62 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: I see them all creating a situation that is not 63 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: ideal for where we are headed. October seven, twenty twenty three, 64 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: was the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. It's 65 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: important because many of the people out there who have 66 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: been lecturing me and have been lecturing you about being 67 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: on the right side of history have actually managed, I think, 68 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: quite thoroughly, to embrace the wrong side of history. They 69 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: think that they are history's heroes and they're actually history's villains. 70 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is this identity politics, 71 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: woke culture that was created is defined almost exclusively by 72 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: the color of your skin. And this is not new. 73 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: I'm not someone who's going to sit around and say, hey, 74 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: racism didn't exist in the past. But the idea that 75 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: you should be defined by the color of your skin, 76 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: and that in a larger context it defines whether or 77 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: not you are good or evil in some way has 78 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: become deeply embedded in the Democrat Party now and it 79 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: has become an article of faith on the left for 80 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: sure in this country. And I think October seventh opened 81 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: a lot of your eyes to this, because suddenly Jewish 82 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: people who are the most profoundly attacked throughout history, certainly 83 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: for the last several thousand years, they found out that 84 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: because they happened to look white, that they were considered 85 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: to be white. And when all of the people from 86 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: Gaza came in on October seventh and slaughtered and raped 87 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: and kidnapped innocent Jewish people, I think many Jewish people 88 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: looked around and said, wait a minute, how is it 89 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: that we are seen as the bad guy here when 90 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: we were directly attacked on October seventh. And the only 91 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: reason why they are seen as the bad guy is 92 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: because they are seen as white and the Palestinians are 93 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: seen as brown. And in this modern identity politics world 94 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: that has been created, I was thinking about it in 95 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: the context of the South African white farmers who represent 96 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: seven percent of the population in South Africa. We have 97 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: not swung from if you're black in America you are 98 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: a second class citizen to equality. We have swung from 99 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: if you're white in America, in the minds of many 100 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: people on the left, you are a problem. And it 101 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 1: is a pernicious racial identity policy that has been created 102 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: where the idea is only that white people are bad 103 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: now and brown skinned people are good. And I don't 104 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: know that anybody really elucidates this because it makes people 105 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: uncomfortable to have a conversation like this, but it actually 106 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: undergirds the entirety of what's going on in the United 107 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: States and to a large extent, around the world. And 108 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: so there is this idea that if you are white, 109 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: you are a problem and anything that is done to 110 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: you is justified if it's being done by someone who 111 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: is a minority or is seen as brown skinned. And 112 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: I don't think we're doing enough to talk about it, 113 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: and I don't think we're doing enough to have a 114 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: real conversation about it. And I think the world would 115 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: change immensely if we could. I tweeted this out, but 116 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about it a lot. If we would 117 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: adopt basically two truths that I believe are self evident, 118 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: and I'll start with the first. It is white, Black, Asian, 119 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: and Hispanic people are all capable of being racist. There 120 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: has been embedded critical race theory, this idea that only 121 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: white people can be racist. If you decided that because 122 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: of the color of your skin you could never do 123 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: anything wrong, how would that change the way that you behaved. 124 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: And we've got people hugely different backgrounds listening to us 125 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: right now, and you're nodding along because if you're Black, 126 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, I know quite a few, but people 127 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: who are black racist, And if you're Hispanic, you're nodding along, 128 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: You're saying, yeah, you know, I know people who are 129 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: racist and Hispanic. And if you're Asian, you're nodding along, 130 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: you're saying, yeah, you know. In my family there are 131 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: people who are racist and white people. Yeah, certainly they 132 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: are racist. White people too. All races are capable of racism. 133 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: And if you will adopt that, and a lot of 134 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: people would disagree with that, if you will adopt that premise, 135 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: the next step should be, let's judge individuals, as kind 136 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: of a famous guy said about sixty years ago, on 137 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: the content of their character, not the color of their skin. 138 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: And what you are seeing far too often in America 139 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: today is incident happens, and there almost immediately is a 140 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: defense of that incident based on the race of the 141 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: people involved. I was thinking about it in the context 142 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: of what we saw happen down in Texas, young black 143 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: teenage kids stabs a white kid in the heart, raises 144 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars. I was thinking of it in 145 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: the context of much less serious But some of you 146 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: probably saw this go viral. White mom in a playground 147 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: racially insults a young black kid, and she also raises 148 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: massive amounts of money. And the world in which we 149 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: are creating this schematic is actually in no way beneficial. 150 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: It's actually just taking us back to the nineteen fifties 151 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: in America, and we have this idea, oh, well, we 152 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: have advanced, and there's all these different aspects of life 153 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: that have changed. And that's certainly true, and there are 154 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: many positive things. But again from a historical perspective, a 155 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: lot of the arguments that you are starting to hear 156 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: in the United States actually sound like a lot of 157 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: the arguments that were made in the nineteen five fifties 158 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: in the United States. And so when I look at 159 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: what happened in Washington, d C. When I look at 160 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: the stabbing that happened in Texas, as we're getting into 161 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: this Memorial Day weekend here, what I would suggest we 162 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: need to have and we should have is a conversation 163 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: about personal responsibility, and it should be divorced from anybody's race, 164 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: because to me, the least interesting thing about someone is 165 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: the choices that they didn't make. Nobody chooses their gender, 166 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: I know, trust me. We all know that's mostly bs, right. 167 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: Nobody chooses their gender, nobody chooses their race. To allow 168 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: yourself to be defined by an identity that you didn't 169 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: choose is actually, to me the antithesis of what the 170 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: United States should represent. So I'm going to open up 171 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: phone lines. Probably a lot of you are feeling this too. 172 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: And this idea of deciding who is the hero and 173 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: who is the villain based on the color of their 174 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: skin is not a new one, but it's actually dragging 175 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: us back into the nineteen fifties. And I think a 176 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: lot of Jewish people are looking around in the wake 177 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: of the double murder that happened in cold blood on 178 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 1: the streets of Washington, d C. And they're seeing that 179 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: these chants globalize. The Intifada that all of these college 180 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: kids were part of is actually spreading, and it's pernicious 181 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: and it's nasty, and it's all rooted in the concept, 182 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: which is old, older than any of us, that your 183 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: guilt or innocence, that your good or evil nature is 184 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: defined not by the choices that you make, but by 185 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: the color of your skin. And I think the legacy 186 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: media is a huge part of this. Frankly, I think 187 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: a lot of left wing white people have bought into 188 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: this idea, which is which is wild. I don't know 189 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: that we've ever seen anything like it where one racial 190 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: group decides that their race is evil. And I just 191 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: think this is a big conversation point as we sit 192 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: here rolling into Memorial Day weekend, because I'm seeing different 193 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: parts of it pop up throughout the culture. And heck, 194 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: I even at the bottom half of this hour will 195 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: analogize it to the world of sports, and I think 196 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: a lot of you are going to say, Wow, this 197 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: is maybe more toxic than I had thought, as it 198 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: pertains to how Caitlin Clark, of all people, might be 199 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: treated in the WNBA, and how to me, we are 200 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: going backwards at a time when we should be going forwards. 201 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: We'll talk about all this and I will break it 202 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: down for you in further detail. But I'm also going 203 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: to open up phone lines and let you guys wig 204 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: in first half of the show today. But in the meantime, 205 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: five years ago, if you bought gold because you thought 206 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: it was a smart investment, it didn't take long to 207 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: see you were right. The price of gold back then 208 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: was just over two thousand dollars an ounce Today, same 209 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: gold thirty two hundred dollars an ounce, a sixty percent 210 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: increase in value. Buying gold's a great investment today. It 211 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: makes sense to own. If you're seeing the value of 212 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: the dollar decline, why not put gold in your overall portfolio. 213 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: It's the best hedge against inflation out there, and it 214 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: has been skyrocketing and value because throughout history gold has 215 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: retained value. You go back in time hundreds of years, 216 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: gold has continued to be a cultural currency that is 217 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: of incredible value. Here's what I want you to do. 218 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: If you haven't done a lot of research on this, 219 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: I want you to go to Birch Gold Group and 220 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: check and see what they are are offering to you 221 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: so that you could make gold a part of your portfolio. 222 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: You can hold both gold and silver tax sheltered accounts. 223 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Birch Gold can help you even convert an existing IRA 224 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: or four oh one k into gold. If you're nervous 225 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: about the larger market out there, why not go with 226 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: a tangible, physical asset that has been shown to retain 227 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: its value and increase over time. With an A plus 228 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: rating with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of thankful customers, 229 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: you can text my name Clay to the number ninety 230 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: eight ninety eight ninety eight.

I think you will find that it 236 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: makes a ton of sense.

I'm talking about the idea which 243 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: is particularly pernicious and has continued to grow, that your 244 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: race defines whether you are good or evil. In a 245 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: particular incident, and the fact that I think many Jewish 246 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: people have looked around and said, we've been discriminated against 247 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: for thousands of years, and they're just seen as white. 248 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: And that's why a lot of protests have come out 249 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: in favor of Palestinians. I want to give you an 250 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: idea here that I'm going to build on a bit more. 251 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: It's not just in the world of serious things talked 252 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: about the murder of the high school kid down in Texas, 253 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: the murder of the two innocent Jewish people on the 254 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: streets of Washington, DC. Look at what's going on right 255 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: now in women's basketball. Caitlin Clark is a meteor streaking 256 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: across the night sky. Whatever you think about her, she 257 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: is bringing a level of attention that has never existed 258 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: in the history of women's professional basketball. In so doing, 259 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: she's not dissimilar to Tiger Woods and what he did 260 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: to the world of golf, and Venus and Serena Williams 261 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: and what they did to the world of women's tennis. 262 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: Yet Caitlin Clark is being attacked the likes of which 263 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: we haven't seen ever in my history as a sports 264 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: fan occur. Why is that occurring? I would actually say 265 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: it's because she's white and she's in a predominantly black league. 266 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: Why is that difference in treatment occurring. We'll talk it 267 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: when we come back, Because I've got a theory and 268 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: I think it's actually pretty significantly correct and important. I 269 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 1: want to tell you though about Saber uh I mentioned 270 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: we have all these products throughout our house. They are 271 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 1: designed to make you safer.

The pepper Gel projectiles. This 275 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: is non lethal. Looks like a gun, but maybe it 276 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: makes you a little bit more nervous to have a 277 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: gun in your hand, but it will protect you without 278 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: the long range potential danger.

We'll 288 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: be back with me on Tuesday, right after a Memorial 289 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: Day weekend. He's out getting an early start on the weekend, 290 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 1: got a bunch of guests coming back half of the show. 291 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: But I'm kind of diving into a big picture idea here. 292 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: On Friday, headed into the holiday weekend, and I said 293 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: two big important truths. One, all racist can be racist. Second, 294 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: you don't cure racism with more racism. And I've been 295 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: thinking a lot about both of these things because just 296 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, but even this week, 297 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 1: you had South Africa the big conversation about white farmers 298 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: being murdered because they're white. You had two Jewish people 299 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,719 Speaker 1: killed by a free Free Palestine protester on the streets 300 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: of Washington, DC just a few months ago. Last couple 301 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: of months, you had a young white kid get stabbed 302 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: in the heart by a black kid in Texas the 303 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: high school track meet. Black kid raises five hundred thousand dollars, 304 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: gets to graduate out on bail for not that much money. 305 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: Then you had the white mom walking around at a 306 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: playground on video insulting a black kid. She raises five 307 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. And it feels to me like race 308 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 1: has become more toxic today than it was when I 309 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: was growing up in the eighties and the nineties, in 310 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: the early two thousands, and then we're actually going backwards 311 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: and we're starting to see some of the same arguments 312 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: made in the nineteen fifties made now in the twenty twenties. 313 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 1: And how does that happen? I would submit it is 314 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: the idea that racism only exists in one way, that 315 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: white people can be racist against black people in base. 316 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: No other racism exists anywhere in the United States, and 317 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: the conversation that we're having has created a broken dynamic 318 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: whereby if it's not white to black racism, it's mostly ignored. 319 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: I gave an example earlier this week. You may have 320 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: heard it. Remember Stop Asian Hate. That media was trying 321 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: to tell you that Asian people were being attacked because 322 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: Trump supporters were angry over COVID, And for about three 323 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 1: or four weeks, Stop Asian Hate was trending, everybody was 324 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: talking about it, and then all the videos started going 325 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,959 Speaker 1: viral of who was actually attacking Asian people, and it 326 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: was almost always black guys beating up Asian people, and 327 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: the story vanished because the wrong people were being racist, 328 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: and so it wasn't even talked about it. You don't 329 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 1: even hear of stop Asian hate anywhere now. Media just 330 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: snuffed it out because if it had been white guys 331 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: walking around knocking out Asian people, you'd still be here 332 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: about it. Wrong. People were behaving badly, and I used 333 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: it right as we went to break the analogy that 334 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: it's very counterproductive and actually works against everyone. But you 335 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: can see it right now in the world of sports. 336 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,239 Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this and how all of 337 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: these things that are different areas culturally are connecting. Think 338 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: about how Caitlin Clark is being treated in the WNBA 339 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: right now. Black female WNBA players are beating the crap 340 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: out of Caitlin Clark on a level that we've frankly 341 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:43,239 Speaker 1: not ever really seen before in a modern era. And 342 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: I think it's because they're jealous and they hate Caitlyn 343 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: Clark because she's a white girl and she's getting a 344 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: lot of attention and she may be better at the 345 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: game of basketball than them. And you can say, well, 346 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: that kind of thing, maybe it's happened before, But I'm 347 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: a sports guy, and I'm a sports I'll open up 348 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: phone lines eight hundred and eight two two eight eight two. 349 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: I can't ever remember seeing it happen before. In fact, 350 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: the exact opposite. When you've had minorities in a traditionally 351 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: white sports, they've lifted the tide of money and been 352 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: welcomed with open arms. Think about what Tiger Woods did 353 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: for golf. Golf is and still is mostly white dudes. Now. 354 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: I know other people play golf too, but if you 355 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: look on the professional level, there's a lot of really 356 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: good white dudes that play golf. Tiger, particularly in nineteen 357 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: ninety seven when he came in, looked a lot different 358 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: than the average golfer. You know what happened. Tiger brought 359 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 1: in a whole new audience of fans. Television ratings skyrocketed, 360 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: it got hard to get tea times, club memberships, the 361 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: golf club sales, New golfers got involved in the game. 362 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: It's probably some of you listening to me right now 363 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: never would have played golf if Tiger Woods hadn't captivated 364 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: you in a way that the older golfers had not. 365 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: It was great for the sport. Tiger is the greatest 366 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: thing to ever happened to golf in my life. Golf 367 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: is still benefiting from Tiger. Tons of new fans, the 368 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: Tiger tide lifted all boats and everybody made way more money. 369 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: This is how inclusion should work. This is how diversity 370 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: should work. New guy comes in, brings tons of new fans, 371 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: way more eyeballs, television ratings, everybody gets richer. It's actually 372 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: great story. Not just golf, not even just men's sports. 373 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: Look at what Venus and Serena Williams did for tennis. 374 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: Tennis also very white sport minorities come into ten start 375 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: to dominate play at a high level. Venus and Serena 376 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: Williams sisters, massive increase in ratings, massive increase in prize money. 377 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: Venus and Serena Williams tiede lifts all boats. That's not equity, 378 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: that's diversity. Somebody looks different, and that's inclusion. They get 379 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: to compete and the result is everybody makes more money. 380 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: They're all treated actually equally inside of the sport. So 381 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: white people in golf, Tiger, let's all make more money. 382 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: Mostly white people in tennis, Venus and Serena Williams, let's 383 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: all make more money. Virtually no negativity addressed towards Tiger, 384 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: Venus or Serena on a large scale at all, As 385 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: they came into a sport looking different than the majority 386 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: of the people competing in the sport. Compare it with 387 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: Caitlin Clark. Girl comes into a majority black league. They 388 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: hate her. She brings more viewership than you've ever seen 389 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: in the WNBA in the history of the sport. She 390 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: sells more tickets than have ever been sold in the 391 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: history of the sport. That Caitlin Clark tied is going 392 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: to lift all sports, all boats. And the majority of 393 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: the black people in the league seem to want to 394 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: kill her and hate her and disrespect her on the 395 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: court on a level that did not occur with Tiger 396 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: And did it happen with Venus and Serena? How does 397 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: that happen? Been thinking about it a lot, the historical analogy. 398 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: In general, all of us should want to make more 399 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: money at what they do. I never complain about anybody 400 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: who makes money doing radio. I want everybody to make 401 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: as much money on radio as possible. White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight. 402 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: If you're a transmiget, you're making forty million dollars a year, 403 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: I want to give you a high five with your 404 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 1: tiny little hand slapping into my big hand. Good for you, transmidget. 405 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: I want everybody to make it as much money as possible. 406 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: Worked in golf, worked in tennis. Why isn't it working 407 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: in the WNBA, I would submit to you. It's because 408 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: the black women in the WNBA don't think they can 409 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: be racist. I'm not saying there weren't racist golfers. I'm 410 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: not saying there weren't racist tennis players. But every single 411 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: person knew when Tiger, Venus and Serena came into their 412 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: leagues that if they did or said something racist, or 413 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: behaved in any way racist, their careers would be over. 414 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: Because the consequences of racism for a white person were 415 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: so severe that you could go from being really good 416 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: at sport making millions of dollars to having no career overnight. 417 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: And as a result, boom, everybody ends up making more money. 418 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: And I don't even think anybody would make an argument 419 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: that Tiger and Venus and Serena weren't amazing for golf 420 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: and tennis. Why is that the same thing happening in 421 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: the WNBA. It's because the majority black players in the 422 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: WNBA don't think they can be racist. They aren't making 423 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: a rational decision, they're behaving emotionally, and they hate Caitlyn 424 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: Clark because she's a white girl and she's the best 425 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: at what should be their sport. And I think that 426 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: can be representative of how toxic racism can be. Because 427 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: the black players, I think are being racist against Kaitlyn Clark, 428 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,719 Speaker 1: I really do. I think the reason she's being treated 429 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: differently is because they don't believe there are any consequences 430 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: for their racism, because they've all been raised in an 431 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: era where racism only can be white to black and 432 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: when was racism prevalent in sports the nineteen fifties. History 433 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes, and what we're 434 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: seeing in the twenty twenties is a rhyming of what 435 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: we saw in the nineteen fifties and before, and it 436 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: actually is taking us back in time. And the people 437 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: who are doing it, I would argue, primarily are our 438 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: left wingers who are now making the same arguments were 439 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: in graduation season. Hey we need a separate black graduation 440 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: for Harvard, which is being sued right now by Trump 441 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: by the way, Hey we need a separate Hispanic graduation 442 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: for Harvard. Hey, we need a separate Asian graduation for Harvard, 443 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: one of the most illustrious schools, if not the most 444 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: illustrious school in the nation, has actually bought into the 445 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: idea that the best way to celebrate achievement is by 446 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: segregating the achievers. Well hold on, that was separate but equal. 447 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: A lot of so called left wing progressives are now 448 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: making the same arguments publicly that nineteen fifties white racists made. 449 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: This is not a positive direction, and the reason almost 450 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: no one talks about it is the idea that only 451 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: white people can be racist, which frankly, tons of white 452 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: left wing people believe, but it's just not true, and 453 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: I think it isn't reflected in any of your own lives. 454 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: As I said earlier, we got a lot of people, 455 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: a lot of different backgrounds listening right now. Every single white, Asian, Hispanic, 456 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: and Black person listening right now, you probably at some 457 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: point have heard someone from your race say something that 458 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: would be racist or could be construed as racist. And 459 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: I think when you look at the way that Caitlin 460 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: Clark is being treated right now, we're actually seeing a 461 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: backwards regression in race relations in this country. And I 462 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: think it's reflected in the stabbing that took place in 463 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: Texas at the track meet. I think it's reflected in 464 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: the way two Jewish people were unfortunately just killed on 465 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: the streets of Washington, d c our nation's capital for 466 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: being Jewish. I think it's reflected in a viral video 467 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: where a white mom is using racial slurs. Obviously there's 468 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: a difference in terms of criminal versus just spoken word, 469 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: but I do think there is a racial toxicity in 470 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: this country that is largely occurring and reflective of past 471 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: seventy five year ago trends because we have created and 472 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: bought into the idea that racism only goes one way, 473 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: and until we have a larger conversation and say, hey, 474 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 1: judging anybody based on the color of their skin is wrong, 475 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: then this is going to continue. And the reason why 476 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: I think it's wrong, by the way, to extend that 477 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: any of you out there have any question. If you 478 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: are capitalist, you want everyone. This is what frustrates me 479 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: about a lot of our politicians. The goal of politicians, 480 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: in my opinion, and the goal of government in general, 481 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: should be to get out of the way and let 482 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: individual excellence succeed. I want all of you, regardless of 483 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: your backgrounds, to achieve the highest level of your individual talents. 484 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: That's why I love sports, because it is the ultimate meritocracy. 485 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: This is why women having to compete against men is 486 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: so offensive to me personally, because it's not the best 487 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: man pretending to be a woman who wins a championship. 488 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: It's the best man or the best woman. And guess what, 489 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where you're from, doesn't matter what your 490 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: dad of your your mommy did. The rules inside of 491 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: competition in sport apply evenly to everyone, and I think 492 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 1: we should be making America look more like that, more 493 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: of an even playing field, more of a meritocracy. The 494 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: best man or woman wins, And unfortunately, what we are creating, 495 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: I think is a broken system where we're not allowing 496 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: everybody to achieve their utmost because too many people are 497 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: being judged on what we think they look like, on 498 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: their identity, as opposed to the content of their characters. 499 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: So I'm fired up about this, and I've been thinking 500 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 1: about it a lot as I've been writing a book 501 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: partly focused on this. But as I've seen all these 502 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: different threads coming together just in the last couple of weeks, 503 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: I think they're all pushing us in the same direction 504 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: and telling us the same story, and I don't think 505 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: it's a good one. I'll take some of your call. 506 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: I know it's a big topic on the Friday before 507 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: Memorial Day, and a lot of you are like, Hey, 508 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 1: I just want to get to the beach. I just 509 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: want to get a hot dog and a hamburger and 510 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 1: have a couple of beers. You know, I get it, 511 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 1: But I also think it's an important conversation to have. 512 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: I was just talking about this. We just witnessed a horrible, 513 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: cowardly act on the streets of Washington, d c. Two 514 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: Jewish people killed in cold blood for simply being Jewish. 515 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: It's happening all over the world. This is what globalized. 516 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: The endi Fota means. Eighty years ago this month, the 517 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: horror of the Holocaust, the final Solution came to an end. 518 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: October seventh, twenty twenty three, the deadliest day for Jewish 519 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: people since the Holocaust happened. I was over in Israel 520 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: in December. It was an important trip. I saw it 521 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:53,720 Speaker 1: with my own eyes. When Jewish people are being attacked 522 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:58,240 Speaker 1: for being Jewish, it's a sign, unfortunately, that the world 523 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: is careening out of control, and we all have an 524 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: obligation I believe to do our best to try to 525 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: stop that from happening, and that's why I'm happy to 526 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: support the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. They do 527 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: so much for individuals of Jewish faith. In Israel, in particular, 528 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: were more survivors of the Holocaust to live than anywhere 529 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 1: else in the world. Many of them are poor. They're 530 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: being taken care of by your donations.

But you know, I 551 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 4: just wanted to thank you everybody that's shaded up for us. 552 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: Thank you for the call. Look, anyone that is killed 553 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:48,960 Speaker 1: or attacked because of something that they are in any way, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, 554 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: it's wrong. And if your worldview doesn't allow you to 555 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 1: call it out, I would submit to you that your 556 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: worldview is wrong and that call how many people? And 557 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: then we talked about elan Omar. She basically wouldn't respond 558 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: to a question about the murders. AOC suddenly says, oh, 559 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: this is unacceptable. But they've been refusing to call out 560 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: what happened on October seventh, and I think that's one 561 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: reason we saw what happened in DC. 562 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 3: Label Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of 563 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 3: truth
