1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show Tuesday edition. 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you. I've had a great holiday break 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: back into the Fray, and my goodness, if we aren't 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: into a crazy pray immediately. The first ballot has already 5 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: been cast. The voting is underway, and Kevin McCarthy is 6 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: not going to receive enough votes to be speaker, so 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: on the first ballot. This means we will go to 8 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: a second ballot for speaker for the first time in 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: a hundred years. And again, I don't think Buck anybody 10 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: has any idea how exactly this is going to play out, 11 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: because there doesn't seem to be a second ballot that 12 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: is suddenly going to resolve everything. And by the way, 13 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: things could change at the last moment they cast their votes. 14 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: They're going through alphabetically. You can change your vote before 15 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: it becomes final. For people out there who are procedural 16 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: wizards and want to know that the nitty gritty your 17 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: initial vote, I think you get a chance right before 18 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: the final vote to cast it. So in theory, something 19 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,279 Speaker 1: could occur that would lead to people flipping their vote. 20 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: But Kevin McCarthy, as people are making it known who 21 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: they are voting for does not have two hundred and 22 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: eighteen votes in order to be able to take that 23 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: next step and become Speaker of the House. What is 24 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: this supposed to is the question that I don't and 25 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: we're both just so you know, we're in real time 26 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: contacting and getting getting information from members of Congress who 27 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: are in this floor fight and who are going through 28 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: this right now. And I'm still wondering what exactly is 29 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: supposed to happen here because the concessions that I've seen 30 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: talked about are things that McCarthy would not There's just 31 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: no way he's going to sign on to at least 32 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: their ability to have a there's a sort of Democles provision, 33 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: if you will, where if he does things they don't like, 34 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: they're able to exercise it and it will stand in 35 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: the way of the Speaker's ability to do his job. 36 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: They're just not going to go with that. So I'm 37 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: kind of sitting here. I'm a little bit be funneled 38 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: as to what's the plan if not McCarthy right now, 39 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: And I guess maybe what they'd say, Clay is, well, 40 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: that's why we have multiple ballots, and we'll see how 41 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: this goes. But I need to know that there's a plan, right. 42 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: I need to know though. This is not just hey, 43 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: who's flying the plane. It's like someone's flying the plane 44 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: and then we find out, no, there's an empty seat there. 45 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: It's just a bunch of people hoping that it glides 46 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: peacefully to the earth. Here's a question too, I would 47 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: have and I'm sure some of you out there are 48 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: kind of laughing. Think about this. What if they just 49 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: don't pick a speaker? Like how long could it go 50 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: without someone officially being named speaker? In other words, we 51 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: already know that they have they have cut the legs 52 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: out from underneath the Republican House because they've agreed to 53 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: the spending omnibus that runs, I believe buck through September 54 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: thirtieth of next year. What does the House actually have 55 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: to do? Right? Like, That's what I was getting at before. 56 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: There's not really you know, you could have it conjure 57 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: up the perfect Republican Speaker of the House for this 58 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: one and eighteen Congress. I mean, you know a combination 59 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: of you know, you put them all together, Abraham Lick 60 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: and George Washington and and Moses I don't know, whatever 61 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: come up with their perfect individual What are they really 62 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: going to do? What is this person going to do? Yeah, 63 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: that's my thing, But buck is there are there any 64 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: consequences if you can't get to two eighteen? Right? Like 65 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: what does the House? What constitutional responsibility does the House 66 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: actually have where there is a deadline, and you would say, boy, 67 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: if we don't have a Speaker of the House by March, 68 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: like what do they? I don't know, Like the Senate 69 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: obviously has to consent on a variety of different jobs, judges, 70 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: all those things, like what is the House now that 71 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: the omnibus has done? What does the House do? And 72 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: I have to say, I hate looking at what the 73 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: other team is doing with some degree of envy, but 74 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: I think you have to, right, you have to, you know, 75 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: if you if you're getting beaten by some new offense, 76 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: or if if someone's managing to just kick your butts somehow, 77 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: you have to be honest with yourself about that. And 78 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: I see this going on right now, and like I said, 79 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: all that matters here is the eventual result. Really, so 80 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: we can't know until we see where this goes. Maybe 81 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy will end up just being speaker and there'll 82 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: be some sort of a deal or some concession, whatever 83 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: it may be. We don't know, but I do know 84 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: that Nancy Pelosi did not have these kinds of problems. 85 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: I do know that Nancy Pelosi had the Democrats just 86 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: in lockstep behind her to get the progressive left Commy 87 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: agenda as pushed through as fast as possible. And you know, 88 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: you got to look at the things the other team 89 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: does well and say, what are we trying to do, 90 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: either to emulate that or to counter it? And right 91 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: now I feel like we have neither. We neither have 92 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: the unity of Democrats in their authoritarian madness, nor do 93 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: we have a plan to counter it right now with 94 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: what we're doing. So I come back to what exactly 95 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: is the point? And I don't get very satisfactory answers 96 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: to this. But then again, Clay, maybe this in a 97 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: week is one of those things that nobody even really remembers. 98 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: It gets settled and it's all done. That's why I 99 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: come back to every time they say, oh, if we 100 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: shut the government down, then basically when you hit the 101 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: red button so many times and nothing happens, it's the 102 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: boy who Cried Wolf scenario. Right when you're telling me Oh, 103 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: this is politically unprecedented. There's no way we can hit. 104 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: And then it happens and you're like, yeah, my life 105 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: really didn't change at all. I think there are a 106 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: lot of people out there saying, hey, does your life 107 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: really change depending on what the speaker? And I'm just 108 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: asking the question if there weren't two hundred and eighteen 109 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: votes for anybody to be speaker, and let's say we're 110 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,119 Speaker 1: in March and they're still they're having their seven hundred 111 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: and forty six you know vote, what imperative does the 112 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: House have to do? There's a lot of things I 113 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: would like them to do, right, the committees, hearings, all 114 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: those things that I think are important in shining a 115 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: light on a lot of different Democrat malfeasance. But what 116 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: constitutional obligation the House have to Now they've already funded 117 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: the government through September. I can't think of anything that 118 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: they have to do buck, So how does our life 119 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: change if they just keep voting marathon session over and 120 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: over and over. Is there a part of you that 121 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: thinks that maybe this is that that that's a degree 122 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: of of chaos mixed with congressional inertia. Is the goal here? 123 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: Do you think yet, like I mean, you can't pass 124 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: anything in the sense I mean again, we have to 125 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: go back to very elemental aspects of our government. They 126 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: are a roadblock, all of the Democrats Shenanigans. But if 127 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: that's but that's not necessarily not like We're gonna have 128 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: a hearing and Joe Biden's gonna be like, oh, you 129 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: caught me. You know what, I have been taking millions 130 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: of dollars my son. It was a bit. I was 131 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: a big guy. I'm walking out. This is why I 132 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: do think the Benghazi comparisons, and I've been saying this 133 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: for years. Benghazi was the hearings I'm talking about, not 134 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: the event and not you know, people from the agency 135 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: and everything else that we're involved there. I'm not talking 136 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: about ben Ghazi in that context. Know a lot about that, 137 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: and we could talk about that at another time. The 138 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: aftermath of congressional hearings with people pounding the table, and 139 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: it achieved nothing. I hate to say, it achieved nothing 140 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: other than launching a few cable news careers and getting 141 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: some members of Congress and soundbites. So we have to 142 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: understand that and not over promise, not believe that something 143 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: bigger will come out of that. And look, I say 144 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: this also as somebody who Clay, I got a little 145 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: bit of heat, a little bit of heat when I 146 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: just said, and we had Carry Lake on the show 147 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: many times. You were a particularly in rooster of hers 148 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: as a candidate. But when they called the election for 149 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: her opponent, Katie Hobbs, I just said, look, I don't 150 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: know all the ins and outs of what's going on 151 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: in Arizona in terms of voting. I learned as much 152 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: as I can, but I'm not there. I'm not running it. 153 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: But I do know that there's no judge who's going 154 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: to say Carry Lake is actually the winner. And people 155 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: got mad at me for this, they said, why do 156 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: you say that, Well, it's because I understand the judicial system, 157 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: and there was no chance that a judge was going 158 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: to say that Carry And guess what happened. It's done. 159 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: They're not going to do this. It's not going to happen. 160 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: The courts have now thrown this out. So we all 161 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: on our side have to always be living in realityville. 162 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: We have to be honest about what's going on and 163 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: what's happening, and as frustrating, it's frustrating, it's frustrating, but 164 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: we have to process that frustration in a way that 165 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: looks at it as a strategic possibility or in a 166 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: way that looks at it as a learning opportunity instead 167 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: of telling ourselves things that are comfortable. You know, we 168 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: did basically it all comes back to midterm. We didn't 169 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: get it done, and we unfortunately haven't gotten it done 170 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: in disabusing people of the notion that masking and booster 171 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: number six or five or whatever is going to save them, 172 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: which I think we had said we were going to 173 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: get to this. I think we should get to this 174 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: because for people who are living and you know, I'm 175 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: right now in Tallahassee, it's Clayson, Tennessee. Man, and those 176 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: who are living in those parts of the country, you're 177 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: you're just like, well, COVID's over. It's all we all 178 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: realize when I say it's over too. The pandemic, the authoritarianism, 179 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: all of that. It's over in a lot of places. 180 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: It's not over everywhere. It's not over in Boston, it's 181 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: not over in New York. It's not over in Los Angeles. 182 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: They're not over in DC. They're they're holding onto some 183 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: of this Clay. I think we should dive into it, 184 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: because this is just a remarkable exercise in mass formation, psychosis, 185 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: mass hysteria, whatever you want to call it. A lot 186 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: of lingering people out there with this stuff. Let's go 187 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: to break right now here. I'll give you a tease 188 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: as we're going to break. Headline Wall Street Journal, are 189 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: vaccines fueling new COVID variants. The virus appears to be 190 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: evolving in ways that evade immunity. And the data we 191 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: had Baronson on one of the final guests. I think 192 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: I had him on Thursday or Friday before Christmas, and 193 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: he laid some of this stuff out and people were like, oh, 194 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: you're crazy, Like many times has happened, and now the 195 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal has put this out. Let's talk about that. 196 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk about buck when we come back. The fact 197 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: that there are hundreds of thousands of kids predominantly on 198 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: the East and West Coast who are going to be 199 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: coming back from school from there Christmas break required to 200 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: wear masks, which is absolute bonker Land crazy. We'll talk 201 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: about all that, give you the latest on this data, 202 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: and continue to track what may well be a dramatic, ongoing, 203 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: slow moving train wreck, as supposed as it pertains to 204 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: who's going to end up the speaker of the house. 205 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: My friends, I wanted to join me in making a 206 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: big difference in the life of an unborn child and 207 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: the family this child will be born into. I work 208 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: with the Preborn Pregnancy Clinics, a nonprofit organization that I 209 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: saved the lives of more than one hundred thousand children 210 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: in this country.

So we 230 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: all just got back from holiday. I want to take 231 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: a moment here on Clay and Buck to put out 232 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: there for you some some recommendations and uh and and 233 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: maybe maybe a pick a fight with Clay about something 234 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: here that's always fun. First off, I think I had 235 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: said that the All Quiet on the Western Front movie 236 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: on Netflix, this was before the Break pretty good. Um 237 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: Keegan's history of John Keegan's History of the First World 238 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: War is I think the best single volume World War 239 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: One history you can find. And reading that as a 240 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: companion too or preparation for All Quiet on the Western Front. 241 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: The remake of it was really good. Clay. I watched 242 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: though with Carrie and my dad. Another movie. It was 243 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: kind Some of it was in subtitle some of it 244 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: was in English, which I guess makes sense considering and 245 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: considering the people, the different nations involved. But the Forgotten 246 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: Battle on Netflix, about this fight in Holland after the Nazi, 247 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: after D Day, and it's this one. It's this period 248 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: of World War two, I'd never seen. It was actually 249 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: pretty good. I'd say it was pretty good, so I 250 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: can put that out there as a recommendation to folks. 251 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: But I had talked a little smack, a little smack 252 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: about the artistic merit, now, not the technological merit, but 253 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: the artistic merit of the Avatar the first Avatar movie, 254 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: which I will say the technology was amazing, but I 255 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: did think that it was a a ripoff of either 256 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: Fern Gully Dances with Wolves or people always say there's 257 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: another one that it's it's like the stole in the plot, 258 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: Oh pokahonas pokahonas Fern Gully dances with Wolves, except they 259 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: made it with blue aliens. Yes you saw it. Yeah, 260 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: And I thought this was gon. I thought this was 261 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: gonna bomb. I thought Avatar to the Way of Water 262 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: is gonna bomb. I am very upset to see that 263 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: it has already made over a billion dollars worldwide, because 264 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, you thought it was okay, tell us, 265 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: tell us how I'm shocked by this one. So I 266 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: think one reason, so I think it's made over one 267 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: point four billion. So I was out in Park City, Utah, 268 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: met a lot of our listeners. We have a monster 269 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: audience in Utah. I love all you guys. And my 270 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: oldest does not ski. My two youngest and my wife's 271 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: snowboards and her dad was with us, and I don't 272 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: like I don't ski. I don't really like cold weather. Frankly, 273 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: I do like park City. I do like Utah was beautiful. 274 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: We got feet and feet of snow, the likes of 275 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: which I've never seen. But my fourteen year old wanted 276 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: to go see the New Avatar. And there aren't very 277 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 1: many movies that are out, you know, usually around Christmas 278 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: there are you know, you look at the list of 279 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: movies and there's like ten different movies that you might 280 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: be interested in. I think one reason buck this New 281 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: Avatar is dominating is there's The Black Panther two and Avatar. 282 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: Basically there's almost nothing else out in movie theaters right now. 283 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: So I went and saw it, and I knew that 284 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: the story thought. I mean, Alie, our producer was like, hey, 285 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: I went to go see with my dad. It's very 286 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: anti marine, it's very anti American. I get that angle. 287 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: It reminded me a little bit of ET. And what 288 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean by that is if you go back and 289 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: watch ET, the American military doesn't come off well because 290 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: they are, you know, trying to get ET to do 291 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: scientific test on him or whatever else. And he just 292 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: wants to phone home to be fair. That's all that's 293 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: all Et wants to do. He's very likable. But the 294 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: government never really comes off well in alien movies, right, 295 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: And my experience, and I like watching sci fi movies 296 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: and everything else, there's never been a time where you've 297 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: been like, hey, you know what the government's really tweet 298 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Where you watch a sci fi 299 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: movie involving aliens and the government comes off really well. 300 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: In the movie, the government is always the obstacle to 301 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: the scientists. Independence Day, Independence Day, On Independence Day, they 302 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: do yes, That's the one example. And what I think 303 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 1: that's why people like that movie so much, because you know, 304 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: humanity comes together to beat the aliens instead up the 305 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: real the real enemy, the real enemy is humanity. President 306 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: gets in his fighter jet and goes out and like 307 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: actually fights as a you know, I think that maybe 308 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: Randy Quaid's finest appearance after the National Lampoon series. I 309 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: don't even remember Randy Quaid being in that movie. I 310 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: haven't seen Independence Day in a long time. He's the 311 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: guy who, in the words of our generation, he takes 312 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: the fighter in a very sensitive he takes the fighter 313 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: play into a very sensitive place on the ship. If 314 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: you catch Madrid. Ah, Yes, I gotta go back and 315 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: watch Independency. I should probably watch it with my boys. 316 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: I did buck watch a show that you're one hundred 317 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: percent gonna be glad that I did. I spent Christmas 318 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: watching die Hard with my boys, and Diehard, I believe, 319 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: is the greatest action movie of all time. All right, 320 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: we come back that the Latest on the Wall Street 321 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: Journal and the COVID shot.

Buck Sexy on The 336 00:18:54,240 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: Fun of Truth Welcome Back in Place, Ravis buck Sexton Show. 337 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: As the drama continues surrounding who is going to be 338 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: the speaker, there are a we should mention this story 339 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: as well. Buck, I was watching Monday Night Football last night. 340 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: I presume that you were not, which I think is 341 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: a good bet. Generally speaking. The Bengals are playing against 342 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: the Bills and a player, twenty four year old safety 343 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin of the Buffalo Bills, collapsed after making a tackle. 344 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 1: He is right now in the critical care unit at 345 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. I'm reading from Nicole Sapfire, 346 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: who says the Bills have given an update on Hamlin's condition. 347 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: DeMar Hamlin spent last night in the intensive care unit 348 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: remains there today in critical condition at the University of 349 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Medical Center. Now News also just came down that 350 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: there is not going to be a resumption of this game. 351 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: They were about five minutes in. Some of you may 352 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: have seen. I worked on Fox News last night live 353 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: for some time. I talked about it again this morning. 354 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: We've never seen anybody collapse like this on the football field. Buck, 355 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: It's turned into a major controversy. Let me say one positive, 356 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: which I think is really what I love about sports. 357 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: Buck Jamar. Jamar Hamlin had a charity where he was 358 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: raising money for kids so they could get toys for 359 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: Christmas underprivileged kids in the Pittsburgh area. His initial goal 360 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: was to raise twenty five hundred dollars. Just think about 361 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: how great of a story this is. The reaction so 362 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: many people out there when a story like this happens. 363 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: It's you know, when someone in your community is ill 364 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: or sick, or dies or one of the first things 365 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people do is say, Hey, I'm just 366 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: going to take a meal to the house. It's a 367 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: small thing, doesn't change the tragedy, but it's just showing 368 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: that you care. It's extending a hand of kindness. This 369 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: is incredible. Twenty five hundred dollars goal for these kids 370 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: presents for this charity from tomar Hamlin, but they now 371 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: have raised four point two five million dollars for his 372 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: charity for kids to get Christmas presents. A hundred and 373 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: fifty seven thousand people have donated money. I am glad 374 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: to be one of them. If you are interested in 375 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: donating yourself. I shared this link. You can go find 376 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: it on my Twitter page. Just scroll down a bit 377 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: at Clay Travis but Buck this rapidly spiraled into a mess. 378 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: We obviously an out kick cover this. This is a 379 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: story without precedent. Player goes into cardiac arrest on the field, 380 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: basically had to be resuscitated. Is in critical condition right now. 381 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: What exactly caused this we don't know. There is a 382 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: condition that has happened before where if you happen to 383 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: get hit basically right in your heart, it's happened in 384 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: the NHL, then you can have your heart stop beating 385 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: and it is very rare. Sometimes it happens with kids. 386 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: They get hit by a baseball exceedingly rare. There will 387 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: be certainly an investigation into what happened here, but it 388 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: rapidly turned into a crazy mess, which is where it 389 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: is right now. What you were mentioning there is commocio cordus. 390 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: That's right. That's what everyone on the medical side has 391 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: been comfortable raising, at least as a possibility here. I understand. 392 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: I think everyone understands that really the first priority, the 393 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: only priority, is hoping for a quick recovery for Damar Hamlin. 394 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,719 Speaker 1: While we still don't know where this goes. He's in 395 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: his vital signs are stable, I think as we speak 396 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: right now, but he's still in critical condition. So anytime 397 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: somebody has a cardiac incident like this, there's going to 398 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,360 Speaker 1: be There's still a lot of tests they have to run, 399 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: a lot of things they have to look at to 400 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: figure out if there's any additional damage and where things 401 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: stand overall from a health standpoint, I think it is 402 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: It is indicative of this moment in the way people 403 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: feel though about health authorities and the health system that 404 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: it immediately breaks down into acrimony, that there's already this 405 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: you know, there are people saying, if you even raise 406 00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: the possibility that this is related to vaccines, you should 407 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: be booted off of Twitter forever in Facebook, and you 408 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: should be fired from your job. And all of this, 409 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: I understand there are a lot of people who are 410 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: very frustrated out there by the fact that there's this 411 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: desire in the system to tell you what you can 412 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: and can't speak about, even after the system has been 413 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: so demonstrably and horrifically wrong for two years, the so 414 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: called medical consensus that is out there, and this is 415 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: just something that we've been warning about for a long time, 416 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: which is that when you have the abject politicization of 417 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: COVID that occurred, and this was pushed by Democrats, and 418 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: this is whether it's masks or vaccines or anything else, 419 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: this became an identity issue for the left and for 420 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party in America. And when a majority, certainly 421 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:54,719 Speaker 1: of outspoken medical professionals and public health experts go along 422 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 1: with that politicization, there are consequences to public trust and 423 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: the public's willingness, at least among those who are independent thinkers, 424 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: to just sit down, shut up, and believe whatever you're told. 425 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: And I think this is a long This is going 426 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,959 Speaker 1: to be a there's a long tale to this. This 427 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: is going to be something that continues to play out 428 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,239 Speaker 1: at a number of ways. And so this incident for 429 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people, was one of these moments where 430 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: you saw this dynamic immediately play out. But I understand 431 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: for a lot of folks, it's just hold on a second. 432 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: Let's just focus on Jamar Hamlin getting healthy, getting getting 433 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: you know, a clean, getting basically the okay sign from 434 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: his doctors before it immediately turns into politics. But Clay, 435 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: we know that's not there's a mass shooting, it becomes 436 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: political right away. These incidents are going to be politicized 437 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 1: right away. I think social media can be both good 438 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 1: and bad in that context. And the positive, as I said, 439 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: is hey, how about the fact that one hundred and 440 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: fifty some odd thousand people strangers decided to donate four 441 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: point two million dollars to do basically what I think 442 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: most humans do in the face of tragedy. They think, hey, 443 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: let's try to make this better. There is simultaneously bucking 444 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: we see this, and I think you're right exactly about that. 445 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: Social media accelerates so that incident happens and the Internet. 446 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 1: I've been arguing this for years. The Internet is basically 447 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: a big blame factory. Bad thing happens, doesn't matter what 448 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: it is. Bad thing happens, and immediately everybody has to 449 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: assess who is to blame for bad thing happening. Sometimes 450 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: bad things just happen, right like this on the field incident. 451 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: That's awful, but it's part of the game. We haven't 452 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: seen this necessarily, but bad thing happens, and then immediately 453 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, the NFL didn't cancel the game quick 454 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 1: enough or skip Bayliss, who works at Fox Sports sent 455 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: a tweet that wasn't appropriate given the scenario that we're under, 456 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: and so everybody needs to be angry at someone. Well, 457 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: there's there's always the internet mob. Oh yeah, First and 458 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: foremost refuses to give anyone any any grace or benefit 459 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: of the doubt because that doesn't serve their emotional needs 460 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: in the moment, the emotional need in the moment. That 461 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: and not just on this issue, on any issue that 462 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: you see from the Internet mob is always to find, 463 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: as you put it, the blame to disperse on anyone 464 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: at any point in time. So that's just the reality 465 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 1: of modern commentary and the sharing of information that we 466 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: all live with is a shame. I do think it's 467 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: important that we can look at people's desire to be kind, 468 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: be helpful, you know, put up thoughts and prayers for 469 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: Damar Hamlin and his family, to do something good in 470 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: his name. And again, he's hopefully going to make a 471 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: full recovery as well. Talk right here, it's it's I 472 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: think likely that he will. I don't know, not a doctor, 473 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: but based on what we're reading in the news report, 474 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: seems like he's going to be okay, which would be 475 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: the outcome that everybody wants. But see, that's the thing 476 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: that is the outcome that everybody wants here, right that 477 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: the assumption that because somebody wants to have a discussion 478 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: about hold on, are we being told the whole truth 479 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: about what happened here to Jamar Hamlin people. There's a 480 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 1: lot of it out there, a lot of commentary that's 481 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: not the same thing as somebody who does not wish 482 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: him and his family well. And I think that's a 483 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: jump that a lot of people immediately make, as in, 484 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: if you're on the wrong side of this political discussion, 485 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: you're essentially inhumane and don't care about because we see 486 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: we see this with Jamar Hamlin and his family. We 487 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: also see this, as I said, with mass shootings. When 488 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: you talk, if you start talking about a mass shooting, 489 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: what is one side of it? Always say right away 490 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: you don't care about you know, the people or even 491 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: the children who were killed in this unfair we saw 492 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: with COVID, like if you said, hey, I want kids 493 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: to be in school, you wanted grandma's to die. No. No, 494 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: That's why I always used to start up my show 495 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: by saying, hey, I'm anti death. I wish we could 496 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: all be immortal. I don't want anybody's family members to ever. 497 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to die. I'd like to live theoretically 498 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: forever on earth. I'd like to stay relatively young. There 499 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: are lots of things I would like to do that 500 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: I can. But this also turned into how dare you 501 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: share the video of the which we need to talk about. 502 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: We can still Yes, I still haven't so, yeah, I 503 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: wasn't watching Monday night football, which is, as you said, 504 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: a fair bet. I don't watch Monday night football. Yeah, 505 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: and uh, I still haven't seen the video of this, 506 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: and I do think that we have to understand in 507 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: an era of censorship based upon ideology, the idea that 508 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: we could start to remove things that are clearly news, yes, 509 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: and that are that are the actuality, the the evidentiary 510 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: basis for news from the public sphere because it's uncomfortable, 511 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: because it's you know, there's there's an onlook. I get it, 512 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: they'll blur. If there's a horrible video that shows a shooting, 513 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: they'll do some blurring, and but they don't pull it 514 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: off the Internet. And there seems to be you know, 515 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: there's a difference between limiting I think, the graphic nature 516 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: of something and just saying no one is allowed to 517 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: see what happened here on full public display with tens 518 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: of millions of people watching in the first place, Which 519 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: is why we come back. We'll talk about this because 520 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: we had to make an editorial decision on this buck 521 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: at OutKick, you know, a company that I run, and 522 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: as soon as it happened, to our credit, our OutKick 523 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: team put up a video of the incident of the collapse. 524 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 1: Here's the hit, Here's what happened. Because yes, while there 525 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: may have been tens of millions of people watching this game, 526 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: there were hundreds of millions who were not and would 527 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 1: care about what might happen. We'll come back into this 528 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: in a moment. And also I want to note for 529 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: everyone that I think we said at the top of 530 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: the show that there has been an arrest made a 531 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: few days ago of the quadruple murder in Moscow, Idaho. 532 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 1: That I know Clay spent a lot of time with 533 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: you on that story before the Chris break, and we 534 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 1: had talked about it previously on this show. We had 535 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: Nancy Grace on to talk about it. We will have 536 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: that forensics expert back on in the third hour to 537 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: talk about what we believe or what he believes led 538 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: to this arrest and the strength of the evidence against 539 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: that individual. Because the whole country was anyone paying attention 540 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: to the news was certainly seeing and learning about that horrific, 541 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: horrific quadruple murder that occurred in a Moscow, Idaho. So 542 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: we'll come back in the third hour and we will 543 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 1: certainly have an updated discussion on that one. Rising inflation 544 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: of attal stock markets, freaking havoc on your retirement accounts, 545 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: you see all the economic uncertainty.

Welcome back to Play and Buck 564 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: were you just got an update that nineteen members of 565 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives Republicans obviously have voted against Kevin 566 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: McCarthy for Speaker of the House. It is immediately going 567 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: to another ballot, so it is real. It is underway. 568 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: This fight is going to play out. We will bring 569 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: you updates as we have it. And I still sit 570 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: here and wonder aloud, where is this for those nineteen 571 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: Where is this supposed to go? I asked that in 572 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: all honesty, I don't really know. I've tried to get 573 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: answers about what the plan is here. It seems like, look, 574 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: there's there's resistance and there's a tantrum. I'm not sure 575 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: which one this really falls into at this stage, because 576 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: if there is no plan, then creating these risks and 577 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: possible rifts I think is well not the most wise 578 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: option perhaps, But we're kind of operating here, Clay with it. 579 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: It's a little opaque right now. It's like, wait, hold 580 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: on a second, what are they trying to get out 581 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: of this? They're supposed to be something. I'd like them 582 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: to tell us. I'll give you this buck. So nineteen 583 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 1: people vote. There were five different individuals who received votes 584 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: for Speaker Chip Roy, Andy Harris, and are these people 585 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: who voted against? But the only one that I'm seeing 586 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,759 Speaker 1: that I think is kind of interesting is and I've 587 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: seen this floated buck the idea of someone coming in 588 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: who would not be a congressman going forward. What if 589 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: Lee Zelden were the Speaker of the House. You really 590 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: like this drafting and outside I just I just wonder, 591 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: I'm just passing it out there. I think someone who 592 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: is currently a congressman and maybe hard and look they 593 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: say they're gonna keep going and Kevin McCarthy's not stepping down. 594 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: But I'm curious how exactly this goes. And Lee Zel 595 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: then is someone who is not going to be in 596 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: the caucus going forward, nearly won the governorship of New 597 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: York well liked I think by many, and it would 598 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: have I don't think you can bring in a total outsider, 599 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: I guess, is what I'm saying. But he would understand 600 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: how the overall apparatus of the House would work. If 601 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: that makes sense. You can't just go draft like we 602 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: got a call her. I appreciate it, but hey, Ron 603 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 1: de Santist, Donald Trump is kind of the fever dream 604 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: he's going to be the speaker. Trump does not want 605 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: the job, trust me, but that is that's kind of 606 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: floating around out there as an idea We mentioned this also. 607 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: I wanted to just bring this difference attention before New 608 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: Jersey public schools, at least Patterson, New Jersey Public schools 609 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: are as of today, back in school requiring kids to 610 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: mask play six and teachers at Patterson Public Schools we'll 611 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: have to mask up when they go back to class 612 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: next week. The school superintendent says it's a precaution as 613 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 1: the number of cases of covid RSV and the flu 614 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,919 Speaker 1: continues to rise. No word on how long this mask 615 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: mandate will last. Patterson Public Schools reopen January third. Child abuse. 616 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: That's what this is. It's child abuse. Understand this, everybody. 617 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 1: They're still doing it. They didn't pay enough of a 618 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: price in the midterms. They're still doing it. This was 619 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: my concern along Clay. We also mentioned this Wall Street 620 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: Journal editorial piece. Yeah, they we can come back to 621 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: this that asked a very provocative question, which is, are 622 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: these vaccination rounds now causing perhaps some challenges trying to 623 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: say this delicately for the immunity of those who get 624 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 1: it to the Wall Street Journal. So I think we can. 625 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: I think we're allowed to talk about what's in the 626 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, right, not going to get canceled for that. 627 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: There are a lot of studies now that are suggesting 628 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: the more COVID shots you get, the more likely you 629 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 1: are to get COVID. That's basically the underlying question the 630 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal wrote about. We will discuss when we 631 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:12,880 Speaker 1: come back. Third Hour also second ballot four speaker play 632 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
