1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We are 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: rolling through the Thursday edition of the program. We are 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: joined now by Senator Marsha Blackburn. As I just tweeted, 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: I think she's a woman, but I'm not a biologist. 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: We've just played that clip from the Senate hearing with 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: Katangie Brown Jackson and Senator Blackburn. Appreciate you joining us. 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: I want to start with that question because I think 10 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: it has gone viral to a degree that I have 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: not seen a question in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: go viral in a long time. I want to know 13 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: how did that question come to be? Were you nervous 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: about asking it, because it does feel like one of 15 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: those questions that has a high risk, high reward to it. 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: Did you expect to get the answer that you got? 17 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: How did it come to be? Kind of take me 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: into that process as you prepared for this hearing. Yeah, 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that I had discovered 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: was that she had come out very vocally in support 21 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: of progressive education and as she termed it's a transformational 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: power of progressive education. And since I'm concerned about parental rights, 23 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: I've heard a lot about that from Tennessee, and I 24 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: was focused on that and the curriculum that was taught 25 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: at the school where she is on the board. So 26 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: had researched that a little bit. Found out they offered 27 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: this class called woke Kindergarten, which teaches five year olds 28 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: how to choose their gender. And of course you have 29 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: all of this going on where there is attention on 30 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: allowing children to choose a gender at a very young age. 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: You also have the restrictions on Paris of how they 32 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: want to re and educate their children, whether it is 33 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: from a conservative worldview or a liberal worldview, and school 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: boards are beginning to take that authority. So I had 35 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: asked her about that. Didn't get a satisfactory yet, So 36 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: so I went to the US versus Virginia decision that 37 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: Justice Ginsburg had written, where she made the determination that 38 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: male and female have enduring qualities and those differences are enduring, 39 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: those distinctions are enduring. I couldn't get her to answer 40 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: if she did or did not agree with the Justice Ginsburg. 41 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: So I looked at her and I said, well, defined 42 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: for me, woman, And she said I camp I said, 43 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: you mean it is so hotly contested in controversial. Sure 44 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: you cannot define woman. She said, I'm not a biologist. 45 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: So I proceeded onto what was my third point in this, 46 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: which was talking about the NCAA swimming competition and Leah 47 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: Thomas and the way a biological male was competing with 48 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: biological females and how that disadvantages our young women, how 49 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: it says to them your voices don't matter. How it 50 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: says to them you are second class citizens. And it 51 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: was the right point to make. But Clay, I got 52 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: to tell you, I was stunned. I thought she would 53 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: agree with Ginsburg and then we could move on say 54 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: well there are defined and enduring differences between male and female, 55 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: But she didn't go there. This shows you how the 56 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: woke left has so infiltrated this system over at the 57 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: White House for federal judges on the district to an 58 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: appellate courts, and now we're seeing it at the Supreme 59 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: Court level. Senator Blackburn, it's buck. You know, the ability 60 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: to distinguish, as a matter of law between male and 61 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: female would be something that if you can't do it 62 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: cause problems within the legal system. And McClay and I 63 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: have talked about Title nine. Obviously the nc double a 64 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: athlete competing. I mean, so it does seem fascinating. It's 65 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: not only a window into the ideology of the left 66 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: and Judge Kaitanji Brown Jackson and what is expected for 67 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: people to be in good stead with the left these 68 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: days to essentially pretend ignorance. But beyond that, there are 69 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: legal implications of this. I think people, you know, the 70 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: left is trying to say, oh, the Senator Blackburn asked 71 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: a gotcha question, it's the most straightforward question imaginable. And 72 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: there also are legal implications for the distinguishing of men 73 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: and women. When it comes to Title nine Federal contracts, 74 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: the Violence Against Women's Act, something that Joe Biden pushed 75 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: for many, many years. It feels like there's more to 76 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: it than even just their lack of will willingness to 77 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: define it exactly right. And Title nine dealing with the 78 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: ncuble A. You know, look at the mess that the 79 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: leadership at the NCAA has made of men and women's sports. 80 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: Now a federal judge is going to have to be 81 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: able to accept the definition of male and female if 82 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: they are going to rule in Title nine cases or 83 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: Title seven cases, or if they're going to make a 84 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: determination on the implementation of the Violence Against Women's Acts. 85 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 1: So yes, indeed, it is an incredibly relevant point to make, 86 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: I mean, and whether you're talking about critical race theory, parents' rights, 87 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: education in the schools, what our Department of Education is 88 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: focused on, what is happening with Title nine, with women's sports, 89 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: all of that depends on a accepting the definition of 90 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: this is female and this is male. Senator Blackburn, you 91 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: weren't in the twenty eighteen Brett Kavanaugh hearings, but it 92 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: did go a long way, I think, towards guaranteeing that 93 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: you were there for twenty twenty two. I don't know 94 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 1: if you've seen this editorial yet, but I just wanted 95 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: to share it with you. I know you followed the 96 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh hearings very closely. The Washington Post put out 97 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: an editorial, and Buck and I are going to talk 98 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: about this a little bit later in the show. This 99 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: is the editorial board, Senator Blackburn. This is not one person, 100 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: they said. Republicans boast they have not pulled a Kavanaugh. 101 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: In fact, they've treated Jackson worse. That is from the 102 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: Washington Post. There was another piece that said that Judge 103 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: Jackson had been treated worse than Jackie Robinson had been treated. 104 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: That was from us Say Today. I read both of 105 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: those and it made my head almost want to explode. 106 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: What's your reaction to the treatment that Judge Jackson got 107 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: and the way that people are responding to that compared 108 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: to what you saw of Kavanaugh. What we know is 109 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: that the leftist press is in bed with the Democrat 110 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: Party and the White House in order to protect this nominee. 111 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: Judge Jackson was treated with respect by each side of 112 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: the daists. We were called out when we ask a 113 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,559 Speaker 1: tough question, whether it was about her sentencing practices, whether 114 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: it was about about her work as a private attorney 115 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: or a federal defender. We ask those questions to get answers, 116 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: because I have had a lot of tennesseeans contact me 117 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: and say I want to know this, that or some 118 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: other something, and we are seeking to get those answers 119 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: because this is a lifetime appointment. It is the only 120 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: time the American people have an opportunity to get to 121 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: know this nominee, to see if they want their elected 122 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: representatives to support the confirmation of this nominee, this is 123 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: their one shot, so asking these questions are important. I 124 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: asked her about her judicial philosophy and about court packing, 125 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: because when she was up for the Appellate Court, I 126 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: had asked her about her judicial philosophy and court packing 127 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: and she never gave me a response. So I revisited 128 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: those issues with her. What we have is a nominee 129 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: that they don't want you to ask any questions because 130 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: she is from the progressive wing of the Democrat Party 131 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: and she is firmly embedded in that wing of the party, 132 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: and because of that, they don't want you to bring 133 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: up these issues that would that if she answered you, 134 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: it would be an answer that is outside of the 135 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: mainstream of American thought. Senator Blackburn, do you think this 136 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: last question for you, and we appreciate your time. Do 137 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: you think any Republicans are going to vote for Judge 138 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court. I think it would 139 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: be very difficult for people to vote for this nomination. 140 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, thanks so much for being 141 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: with us, appreciate it, and thanks for thank Thanks for 142 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: the viral question too. We appreciate that was fantastic. The 143 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: value of your home may have increased as much as 144 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: twenty percent over the last year nationwide. That's the approximate 145 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: jump in home prices year over year. Even if your 146 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: home is realized just half of that in the last 147 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: twelve months time, that's still up ten percent. That means 148 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: there's more equity in your home. How do you benefit 149 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: from that? Besides the pride of ownership, of course, will 150 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: you tap into the equity to do more with your 151 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: home a renovation, for instance, or paying down other debts 152 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: that have higher interest rates associated with those payments. Your 153 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: first phone call to inquire should be with American Financing. 154 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: You can save up to a thousand dollars a month 155 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: with these guys, and you could skip up the two 156 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: mortgage payments in the process of refinancing.

And it's from, 175 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: as Clay pointed out, the Washington Post editorial board, meaning 176 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of their best people, right, their smartest columnist, 177 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: they're smartest writers. It is stunningly stupid what they're saying here, 178 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: but we got to push back on it. Republicans boast 179 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: they have not pulled a Kavanaugh. In fact, they've treated 180 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: Jackson worse. This in the Washington Post play, they are 181 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 1: asking a judge questions about her jurisprudence. They're asking her 182 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: to define what a woman is. They're asking questions. They 183 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: put crazy people on national TV to lie about Brett 184 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: Cavanaugh being a secret serial gang rapist. Remember, people always 185 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: focus on Christine blasi Ford, she seemed, and they did 186 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: a lot of work with her, although she said she 187 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: couldn't fly. Then they found out that actually she would 188 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: fly to go to Cabo, but not to go to DC. 189 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: She said she needed two doors installed in her house 190 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: because she was still so afraid of this, And they 191 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: found out, no, was some renovation, and you know, the 192 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: whole thing she was lying, there was lots of but 193 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: there was some veneer in the early stage for people 194 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: of credibility. And then the second accuser came out and 195 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: he said, well, hold on, she can't even remember if 196 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: this happened or not. She had to have someone else 197 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: tell her if she remembers the thing. Then the third 198 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: accuser came out, who was actually just crazy, I mean 199 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 1: like actually clearly had issues, serious mental health issues, claimed 200 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: that she was a college student who returned to see 201 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: high school kids drugging and raping systematically high school girls, 202 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: and she never told anybody. She never even brought this up. 203 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: It was and then she started laughing during the interview Clay, 204 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: what they did at Brett Kavanaugh, the Democrat Party has that. 205 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: That is a moral stain in the Democrat Party for 206 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: all time. To even compare it to what is going 207 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: on with catand Brown Jackson just shows you these people 208 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 1: have no point of reference for reality whatsoever. Not only that, 209 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: there is a pretty clear distinction between aggressively questioning someone 210 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: about their professional record as they prepare for one of 211 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: the most significant jobs that can exist inside of our 212 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: federal government. Lifetime tenure on the Supreme Court for someone 213 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: who I believe is fifty one years old, meaning if 214 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: that person maintains normal health for someone who is fifty 215 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 1: it's not crazy to think that Katangi Brown Jackson could 216 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: be on the Supreme Court until twenty fifty two or 217 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: twenty fifty three, right going into her eighties would not 218 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: be unheard of, based on the ten years and legacy 219 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: of many other justices. And so if you look at that, 220 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: you should be aggressively questioned going through somebody's high school 221 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: yearbook superlatives and grilling them on what they meant. Looking 222 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: at things that happened, regardless of who you are, when 223 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: you're sixteen or seventeen years old, when you have decades 224 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: of experience as a federal judge to question these are 225 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: not similar situations, but it's worse. I mean, you've brought 226 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: up the looking at the yearbook, Clay. They were looking 227 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: at the yearbook to make the case that sixteen or 228 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: seventeen year old Brett Cavanaugh was like a you know, 229 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: a drunk party boy, gait rapists basically, I mean, this 230 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: was all part of the narrative of yeah, he's just 231 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: drinking beers. He's obviously a misogynist who assaults sexually assaults women. 232 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: The fact that they even still say that Christine Blasi 233 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: Ford's testimony was credible. She didn't know what, she can 234 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: never prove even one year it was where the house was, 235 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: She misidentified the people who were in the party. There's 236 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: no evidence that Avanaugh ever even met this woman. It 237 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: was the opposite of credible. In fact, it was almost 238 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: like they were doing a test case on what non 239 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: credible testimony in a circumstance like this would sound like. 240 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: And the media just throw that word around all the time. 241 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: Every person who were part of the effort to destroy 242 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh with those rape allegations should be and I mean 243 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: this apart from politics, every journalist who went along with 244 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: that should be deeply ashamed of themselves, deeply ashamed of 245 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: who they are as human beings. It was the most grotesque, 246 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: obvious lie and destruction of a person's character, and it 247 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: cost them a Senate thankfully. And I want every to 248 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: remember that this is who we're dealing with with these Democrats, 249 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: because Clay, you know, they thought that that was actually 250 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: going to give them a Supreme Court seat, that we'd 251 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: be more to their liking. They've never even taken a 252 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: step back and said, maybe we went too far, maybe 253 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: we shouldn't have done that to him. Kavanaugh could have been, 254 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, the coach of your kid's team. He could 255 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: have been your neighbor, he could have been anybody didn't 256 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: care well, And I think we can't overlook what they 257 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: argued at that point as well, which was hashtag believe 258 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: all women. I mean, that's an unbelievable who am I believing? 259 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: By the way, because what's a woman? Clay, Yeah, well 260 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: that's a great point. It's a great point. But hashtag 261 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: believe all women flies in the face of everything that 262 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: the Justice Department and Justice itself is supposed to represent. 263 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: There's a reason, Buck, why Lady Justice is blind as 264 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: on the scales of justice as you weigh guilt or innocence. 265 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: It's because as soon as you start to consider the race, 266 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: the sex, the sexual orientation, whatever these things are, these 267 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: identity politics characteristics, then you are moving away from considering 268 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: the facts as they were in that situation. And what 269 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: I always came back to was, even if Buck, and 270 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: this is me having done criminal defense work, even if 271 00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: you accepted everything that Christine Blasi Ford said as being true, 272 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: it still wouldn't have been a sexual assault charge, even 273 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: on a minor right. Even if you presume that everything 274 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: she said about that party was true, and we know 275 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: that there were no corroborating evidence outside of her own 276 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: recollections that didn't know where it was. The people she 277 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: said where they are weren't there. There's no evidence that 278 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: she other than her claim that she ever even met 279 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh, that they knew each other at all. But 280 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: even if you presume, which is one of the things 281 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: sometimes you're supposed to do in court, presume the truth 282 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: of the filing in order to allow a jury to 283 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: hear the evidence. Prosecutors would have never brought a case 284 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: against a sixteen or seventeen year old boy for sexual 285 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: assault there, because it's not sexual assault, even if you 286 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: presume everything that she said was true, and even if 287 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: you presume everything that's true there, Buck, the idea that 288 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: everyone should be held hostage by what happens is crazy 289 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: for their future life. It just doesn't make any sense 290 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: at all at that age, and so to compare it 291 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: is frankly a disgrace.

Dub is reading those and he has begun 309 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 1: to collate a bunch of the reviews. You guys have 310 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: flooded reviews in Thank you for all of that first hour, 311 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: Bridge Colby talking about the situation in Ukraine. We talked 312 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: with Marsha Blackburn. At the top of this second hour, 313 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: we are set to talk with Joe Birelli about the 314 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: changes in New York City which are suddenly going to 315 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: allow athletes to be able to compete both in the 316 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: NBA and in Major League Baseball if they play for 317 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees and the Mets, even if they are unvaccinated, 318 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: and what those changes may represent. But this is actually 319 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 1: pretty intriguing. The continued attempt to make it appear as 320 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: if Judge Katangi Brown Jackson during the course of her 321 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: hearings has been treated unfairly is pretty crazy, because she's 322 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: been quizzed directly on her professional career, and that's not 323 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: good enough. MSNBC. He's joy Read. We talked about the 324 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: Washington Post saying that KBG had been KBJ had been 325 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: treated worse than Brett Kavanaugh. Well, of course, taking it 326 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: to an entirely different level, one of the dumbest people 327 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: in the history of politics on television, Joy Read, she said, 328 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: this is like a black person being followed around and 329 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: accused of shoplifting. Listen to this analogy. The outrage is real, 330 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: and a lot of it was about the blatant disrespect. 331 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: I tweeted that they were treating her like a black shopper, 332 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: that they were following through the store, just the ultimate 333 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: disrespect for her as a human being, as a judge, 334 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: the fact that her family was there, all because, in 335 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham's view, apparently this whole hearing was payback for Kavanaugh, 336 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: who nobody told him to sexually violate his high school 337 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: friend or this girls in college and get accused of it. Incredibly, 338 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: that is not the fault of Katati Brown Jackson, but apparently, 339 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: according to Lindsay Graham, she needs to pay for that. 340 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: Only morons believe that juge Kavanaugh actually did anything based 341 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: on the actual evidence, and unfortunately joy read is an 342 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: utter morony. But beyond that, I mean, here, here's an 343 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: example of the kinds of questions that were being asked. 344 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: She says she can't define what a woman is. Katanji 345 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: Brown Jackson says this, This is openly I don't know, 346 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: I don't know what we want a biologist. This is 347 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: not a biologist, right, and yet she's going to be 348 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: sitting on the Supreme Court, and there are questions of 349 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: gender and gender identity as they are reflected in law. 350 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: I mean, on the one hand, Clay, they want trans 351 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: to be a protected status. They want trans participation in 352 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: different genders when it comes to sports. So there's all this, 353 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: you know, man, woman, men's sports, women's sports. All these 354 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: distinctions are constantly being made, but the left justist, like 355 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: crying children, wants it the way they want it, without 356 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: any actual underlying principle. Ted Cruz asked, well, can I 357 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: can I claim to be a woman, or can I 358 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: claim to be an Asian man? Or how does this 359 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: work if I can change my gender, if I can 360 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: be a woman, and then an hour later, if I 361 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: decide I'm not a woman anymore, I guess I would 362 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: lose Article three standing. Tell me does that same principle 363 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: apply to other protected characteristics? For example, I'm an ismantic man. 364 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: Could I decide I was an Asian man? Would I 365 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: have the ability to be an Asian man and challenge 366 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 1: Harvard's discrimination? Because I made that decision, Senator, I'm not 367 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: able to answer your question. You're asking me about hypotheticals 368 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: and tell you how you would assess standing. If I 369 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: came in and said I have decided I identify as 370 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: an Asian man, I would assess standing the way I 371 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: assess other legal issues, which is to listen to the 372 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: arguments made by the parties, consider the relevant precedence and 373 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: the constitutional principles involved, and make a determination. A lawyer 374 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 1: play her answers are evasive and unimpressive. Yeah, I get it. 375 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: I get the response that she's giving there. But what 376 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz is brilliantly pointing out is, and I have 377 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: to be careful not to curse here, almost everything that 378 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: is being constructed around the race and gender elements of 379 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: the modern day Democratic Party are total bs right, because 380 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: this is what we've talked about. What he's pointing out 381 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: is if you can choose your gender, why can you 382 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: not also choose your race for purposes of proving or 383 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: disproving whether you are an eligible eligible for standing? Right, 384 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: And let's give an example. Could you kind of hit 385 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: on this with Senator Blackburn earlier? We have, for better 386 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: or worse, certain construction contracts which are held back for 387 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: minorities and for women. Right, So, if you're a white guy, 388 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: you are not eligible to be able in theory to 389 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: get federal or state construction contracts that are specifically earmarked 390 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: for women and minority owned construction companies. Well, there are 391 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of different things that actually go on there 392 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: by the way. One is is that you know, let's 393 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: say I have a construction company. Suddenly I put a 394 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: construction company in my wife's name, and my wife gets 395 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: it instead. Right, Like, you can play games with this, 396 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: But what's to keep if gender and race are fluid 397 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: and you can choose them, What's to keep someone from 398 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: identifying as a woman for purposes of getting a federal 399 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: or state construction contract. What's to keep someone from identifying 400 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: as a member of a racial minority group in order 401 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: to get a racial minority contract? Right? Like, these are 402 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: real questions that go to the essence of the law, 403 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: because if you have to respect the choice of someone 404 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: to choose their gender, if you just have to respect 405 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: that and treat it as a legitimate thing, then you 406 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: are theoretically potentially subverting the idea of minority in women's 407 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: owned business. This is being treated now. We can argue 408 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: about whether that's fair or proper under the Constitution in general, 409 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: but the fact that it exists now is a legitimate question. 410 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: And the fact that we have a difference of treatment 411 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: for gender, which you can choose, and race, which you 412 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,239 Speaker 1: can't choose because it's considered sexist, is patently a certain This. 413 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: This reminds me a friend of mine many many years ago, 414 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: who was born in Cairo, which is of course in Egypt, 415 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: which is of course in Africa, applied to an Ivy 416 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: League school as an African American and got in and 417 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: got well, it got to the got to I think 418 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: we've got the interview phase, and was clearly going to 419 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: get in, and it turned into well, you know know, 420 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: and her contention was, I'm an American who was born 421 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm now an American who was born in Africa, so 422 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: I identify as an African American and essentially what what 423 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: the what the school told her at the time, and 424 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: this is now gosh, I mean, I was like twenty 425 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: eighteen when this happened. Well, the school told her was no, 426 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: you're you're the wrong skin color. That was what her 427 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: That was the claim was you're the wrong your skin 428 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: color is not appropriate for your designation. So these are 429 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: not just random theoreticals that you know, Katangi Brown Jackson 430 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: is acting like, well, this never occurs. No, this stuff 431 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 1: occurs all the time. Actually, there are all kinds of 432 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: distinctions that are being made as a function of admissions, hiring, 433 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: as functions of law, about these designations, about gender, about 434 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: general identity, about race, about all the about disability, all 435 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: these different things. And you know, at some point we 436 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: either live in reality and have to have clear, established principles, 437 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: guidelines determinations about this or it's just what they have 438 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: right now, which is what other left wants, and that's 439 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: how they want it. Whatever they want, They just make 440 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: the rules up as they go along. Here's a good 441 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: point for you. Elon Musk is an actual African American, 442 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: right He was born in Africa and he now is 443 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: an American he's a white guy. But Elon Musk was 444 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: born in South Africa, the owner of Tesla SpaceX, all 445 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: these things out there. Uh, and so technically he could 446 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: click on the you know, submission forms of like, hey, 447 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 1: what what is your background? African American? Because he's African 448 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: and now he's Americans in America. You play this out more. 449 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: Let's okay. So now let's say you're because Harvard's at 450 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: the center of the affirm By the way, I do 451 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: think affirm an of action recused will be Yeah, I 452 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: think affirm of action will be struck down in this 453 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: I think that that will happen. Um. But just put 454 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: that aside for a second. You know, in June. I 455 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: think we'll find out about this. Okay. So if someone's 456 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: going to say that you know what you said about 457 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: Elon Musk or or my friend for example, who is 458 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 1: Egyptian and born in Africa and now an American. If 459 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: that's not that's not right. Okay, So what are the rules? 460 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: Then if you have a father from Jamaica and a 461 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: mother from Ireland, you get to apply to college as 462 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: an African American. What if you have a grandfather who 463 00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: is Jamaican and then three other you know, Irish and 464 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,479 Speaker 1: pat You know, eyboy, I'm saying how how far back 465 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: and at what level? And you know, you ask these questions, 466 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: it gets very uncomfortable very quickly because because the left 467 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: has to start making these designations that sound you know, 468 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: really super racist, super racist and off putting. You're getting 469 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: this point of Okay, so is it a is it 470 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: actually a question of one's skin color, a question of 471 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: one's background? What really are we advancing here with this 472 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: diversity principle? Where does the diversity principle stop and start? Clay, 473 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: They have no answers to these questions now just shout 474 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 1: at you and say you're racist. Rations And by the way, 475 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: this is also kind of tying in with pocahonas you 476 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: know Elizabeth Warren who claimed that she was Native American 477 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: and then put out that thing where she was like 478 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: one two thirty second Native American, and the media was like, well, 479 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,479 Speaker 1: this so much for all that criticism of Elizabeth I am. 480 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: I took CNN behind the woodshed on that one. That 481 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: was so fun because they because I watched that reporting 482 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: as it happened, and then and then I went on 483 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: there and they're just you know, oh, Wow. A big 484 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: day for Elizabeth Warren. Turns out she is Native American, 485 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: not so much. She was actually I believe the data 486 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: reflected buck that she was actually less Native American than 487 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: the average great person in American and I, you and I, 488 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: statistically speaking, are likely to be more Native American, that's right, 489 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: than she was. But that that's again, these are not 490 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: theoreticals in the sense that they actually do happen. And 491 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: this is a thing. Elizabeth Warren is a sitting US Senator. 492 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: She maybe could have been the Democrat nominee.

Well, 530 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: it certainly is in transitory anymore. I mean they kept 531 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 1: telling us it's transitory. To my mind, three years is 532 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: not transitory. But you can't fix inflation unless you know 533 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: what causes it. Inflation is caused by debt deficit spending, 534 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: and the Federals are printing up new money to buy 535 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: the debt. Monetization of the debt, that's where inflation comes from. 536 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: So the more debt, the more inflation we're paying. The 537 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: bills of six trillion dollars worth of debt that we 538 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: add in the last two years, both parties are for it, 539 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats. But the answer isn't adding more debt. 540 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: The answer is being more physically responsible. Welcome back to 541 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck. That was Senator rand Paul with some 542 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: econ one oh one that democrats certainly need to hear, 543 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: although they'll ignore it. What causes inflation. Inflation is bad. 544 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: We want it to not be what it is right now. 545 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: We want to turn the curve. Dare I say flatten 546 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: the inflation curve? Oh no, I don't want to flatten 547 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 1: any curves. Only two weeks will get the inflation curve. 548 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: Just just got to stop driving, buck and nobody will 549 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: be no demand for gas. Prices will come plummeting down. 550 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean, there are a lot of electric scooters that 551 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: need a home right now, Clay, I'm just gonna put 552 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: that out there. So although I wouldn't recommend going fifteen 553 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: miles per hour on the highway, folks, I will tell 554 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: you want somebody to snap a photo of you on 555 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: that electric scooter with your scarf waving in the breeze 556 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: behind you, like I kind of want to remember, is 557 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: it like the old the old Charlie Brown cartoon with 558 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: like the red error or whatever, and he's got the 559 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: uh oh yeah, yeah, I can see that. I'm also 560 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: thinking less charitably about the Wizard of Oz, like the 561 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: Wicked Witch, you know at the opening and of the 562 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: of that, does she have like a scarf? Kind of 563 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: trailing behind her. Whoa way harsh, Clay way harsh. So anyway, 564 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: I do get to scoot scooter around town, which I 565 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: gotta tell you was a lot of fun. But it 566 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: is a way to keep gas prices down because I mean, 567 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: if you're trying to drive through Midtown and Fursier one, oh, 568 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: you just drive, you just sit in traffic. There's no 569 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: people will tell me about the traffic in their cities. 570 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: I'm always like, oh, have you ever owned a car? 571 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: Have I ever won owned a car? Oh? Yeah, I 572 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: had a car in a car in college and car 573 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: for many many years after I did comute to Legley 574 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: where you lived different places. Yeah, but you put one 575 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: hundred thousand miles on a car, Clay, I drove to 576 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: college in a wood paneled Buick Roadmaster station wagon. Baby. 577 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: They called it the shagged wagon. There was no shagging 578 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: in that wagon. Going out in that wagon. U we' 579 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: I didn't have a car college because I was in DC, 580 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: but I was. Have you owned a car that you 581 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: kept in Manhattan for years? I did, then it just 582 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: honestly got I sold it. I got too intensive. Yeah. Yeah, 583 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: what did you have to pay for a parking spot? 584 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: In Manhattan. Do you people are gonna for a parking 585 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: spot in Manhattan in like where we do the show 586 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: in Midtown seven or eight hundred dollars a month for 587 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: a parking spot. That's crazy. And that's that's by the way. 588 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: That's that's like it gets higher in some places. Oh yeah, yeah, 589 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: it's super expensive to keep a car here. It's very difficult. 590 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: They make it miserable for you. And they've also the 591 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: traffic's gotten so much worse because like in so many places, 592 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,799 Speaker 1: they've taken like thirty percent of main streets and now 593 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: they're all these bicycle lanes, so you can either be 594 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: on a bicycle as scooter or et cetera. But that's 595 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, they want us to be like Amsterdam or 596 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,479 Speaker 1: something where they have everybody bicycling everywhere in New York City. 597 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: This was a bloomberg initiative that kept going under under Deblasio. 598 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: One of the things that you know, Deblasio kept going 599 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: with it. He didn't keep the anti crime policies going, 600 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: but he did keep the he did keep the scooter 601 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,879 Speaker 1: and bike lane policy going. And I will tell you 602 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: that it is a constant, a constant struggle for the 603 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 1: people that ride bicycles in New York City. I will say, 604 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. A lot of them 605 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: just feel like the forces of physics don't matter. I mean, 606 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: they'll go thirty five forty miles an hour about a 607 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 1: helmet on and almost mow down some old lady and 608 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 1: start cursing at the old lady when they go past her. 609 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: People on bicycles in major cities we all need to 610 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: have a talk.
