1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Walk back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. Thirteen days until Donald

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: Trump raises his right hand and becomes the next president

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: of the United States.

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 2: We cannot wait. We know you cannot wait either.

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Decided to have Buck back with us after a big

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: trip to Spain. I'm still interested to hear how that

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: all went. We'll discuss that a bit, but we got

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: major breaking news that came out this morning associated with Facebook,

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: the censorship industrial complex, and the overall impact that that created.

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: We'll get to that.

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: In a moment, but first, we're both right in the

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: Great Canal Debate of twenty twenty five. In twenty twenty one,

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: the Suez Canal was blocked by a ship. So the

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: crew was right about the Suez Canal. And interestingly it

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: was actually a Panamanian based ship that blocked the Suez Canal.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: But what I was thinking about was twenty twenty three.

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: Last year, two hundred ships got back as a part

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: of the overall supply chain crisis in the Panama Canal.

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: We're discussing this because much of Trump's discussion surrounding the

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Panama Canal Greenland has been predicated on world trade and

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: who has the ability to control control in some way

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: the ingress and egress of ships around the world for

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: purposes of commerce. Now for purposes of commerce, they're also

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: and fact checking is a major discussion point out there

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: about Facebook and Buck. In March of twenty twenty one,

27
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: I went and testified in front of Congress. Our friend

28
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan invited me to come, and I went under

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: oath and testified as an expert about the impact of

30
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Facebook and what happened when Facebook basically decided, hey, we

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: don't like your organization anymore. Overnight, our Facebook traffic basically vanished.

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: And many different media outlets that have been on quote,

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: the wrong side of the stories that Facebook wanted to

34
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: propagate have dealt with this impact. In particular, we were

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: too favorable about Donald Trump, and we were too aggressive

36
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: in covering whether schools should open back up, whether masks worked,

37
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: where COVID came from at OutKick, and as a result,

38
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: Facebook basically shut down traffic to our site and that

39
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: had a major impact. And let me just point this out, Buck,

40
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: because I think it's super important. Four years ago in concert, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, Snapchat, Instagram, Shopify, Reddit, Twitch, TikTok,

41
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: and Pinarists all banned Donald Trump from being able to

42
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: have an account on their social networks.

43
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: In Unison, Pinterest, I just that was I mean, I don't.

44
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: Probably can't put out his favorite his favorite recipes or

45
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: his favorite way of making sprinkles for cookies, no doubt.

46
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: And if Donald Trump had wanted to get in the

47
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: oven mint business, pinterist was just completely killing his oven

48
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: mit game. This was scary and it was crazy, and Buck,

49
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: you've talked about this. Not only did they do that,

50
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: they actually used Amazon to legitimately take sites off the

51
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: Internet that we're using. A lot of people don't realize this,

52
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: maybe some of you do. Amazon web hosting is one

53
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: of the biggest businesses they do. If somewhere won't host

54
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: your website, they basically just make you not exist. And

55
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: this is what they did back in the day to

56
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: uh what was the site?

57
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: It was a parlor, yeah, which was a free speech

58
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: a free speech site.

59
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 4: And no, this was scary.

60
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: This was the beginning of the of the of the

61
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: true online to atalitarianism that we had to live through.

62
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it was this, It was COVID, it was

63
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: the election. You know election stuff. So it was frightening

64
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: how this just worked all in Unison McLay, I was

65
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: looking up I just found this. There was a PolitiFact

66
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: on me. Remember I was saying this before, and this

67
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: was from a Facebook post. And here's what I said

68
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: in February of twenty twenty one. The science says open

69
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: the schools, stop wearing masks outside. I should have just

70
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: said stop wearing masks, but stop wearing masks outside and

71
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: everyone at low risk should start living normal lives. And

72
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 3: they fact checked this and said the whole thing was wrong.

73
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: It's all masks outside. I mean we knew that from

74
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 3: the very beginning that that was always moronic. I mean,

75
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: no one was getting COVID outdoors.

76
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 4: That never happened. It was all absurd.

77
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: I mean we say never, I mean like lightning strike.

78
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: Maybe it could happen, but it was it was madness.

79
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: So everything that they fact checked me on they were having,

80
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: they were wrong. And they did this over and over again.

81
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: By the way, that it's not like they just fact

82
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: checked me.

83
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: Clay.

84
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: They shut down my Facebook account. Yeah, based on that.

85
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: So I said, hey, guys, look at the look at

86
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: the numbers. Masks outdoors makes no sense. Oh no, that's

87
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 3: a lie. You're off Facebook.

88
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 4: Now. This is what they were doing to be and

89
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 4: they did this. I know, it's not like Woe is Me.

90
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: I always hated Facebook. It's not something I use very much.

91
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: But they did this to so many people. And what

92
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: you realize was that they were they were not only

93
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: unrepentant about the whole thing, they liked the fact that

94
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: they could do it to people, even when what they

95
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 3: were fact show, even when they were pushing lies. Right,

96
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: that's the real power. The real power isn't to stop

97
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 3: other people from lying. The real power is to make

98
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: other people lie or to prevent other people.

99
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: From speaking the truth. And that's got one. I've got

100
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: one for you that I testified about. Buck, you'll appreciate this.

101
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: We had doctor Marty McCarey on this show quite a lot,

102
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: and he's now going to be the head of the CDC,

103
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 1: I think, which is an amazing congratulations doctor McCarey. It's

104
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: a great appointment. Appointment by Donald Trump. We wrote an

105
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: article at OutKick in March of twenty twenty one and

106
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: it said it was Marty McCarey saying herd immunity will

107
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: be here by April. This was doctor Martin McCarey, an

108
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: editorial at the Wall Street Journal. We wrote about that

109
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: on OutKick and Facebook told us that we were guilty

110
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: of the headline was misinformation violations, and they said we

111
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: could not share the opinion piece of doctor McCarey on

112
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: our Facebook account, and as a result, they banned the

113
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: sharing of OutKick stories for a set period of time,

114
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: with no ability to in any way appeal.

115
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: We shared an opinion piece from a doctor.

116
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: And just understand this for those of you who have never

117
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 3: been in the yeah, you know, the media business, I

118
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: mean to be operating in this world. I mean, Clay

119
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: knows about this very well. But I started out working

120
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: at The Blaze. I was a website writer for Glenn

121
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: Beck at The Blaze. That was my first media job.

122
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 3: That was back in twenty eleven. Gosh, I'm getting old, Clay.

123
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 3: Uh So I very much lived in that world too.

124
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 3: Facebook was for a lot of a lot of big websites.

125
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: What would you say, Clay, thirty forty percent of traffic

126
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: was Facebook derived, sometimes higher depending on the hiring on

127
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: the site.

128
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the day, I mean huge amounts.

129
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: So I mean imagine, you know, if you're running a

130
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 3: hardware store and forty percent of your customers disappear forever,

131
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: you're not going to be in business very long, right.

132
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're used to a certain customer base

133
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: and forty percent of them are gone. Certainly true of

134
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: a online journalism or or you know, news media entity

135
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 3: as well. So Facebook was able to kill off a

136
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: lot of conservative sites and a lot of traffic. And

137
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: I mean the damage. And I don't want to lose

138
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: sight of this, the damage that Zuckerberg whom you know, yeah,

139
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: he's coming around on. Can I just also put something

140
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: out here for a second. We need to stop worshiping

141
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: people who have been conservative for like five minutes or

142
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: not even conservative, who have stopped being crazy. You know,

143
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: we can welcome them into the ten without thinking they're

144
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 3: the messiah.

145
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. This is a different thing.

146
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I have noticed this trend on the right

147
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: recently of oh, someone has said a couple of the

148
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: right things in the last year, so now we love

149
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: them forever. Some of us have been saying the right

150
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: thing for many years, some cases many decades. Okay, So

151
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: if you're looking for like long term wisdom, I wouldn't

152
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: all of a sudden you know, you know, I don't

153
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: know Russell Brand. You know, is he a great guy?

154
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: Now?

155
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: I have no idea, but I think it's funny that

156
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: people are like, oh my gosh, he's so conservative. I'm like,

157
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 3: can we give it a year, Like, let's just see

158
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: how it goes first. I mean, there's a lot of

159
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: these people that I would put in this category. And

160
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 3: Mark Zuckerberg it just makes me think of this clay

161
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: because Okay, so he's no longer actively subverting with Zuckerbucks

162
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: going to Democrat causes and massively undermining conservative message. You know,

163
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 3: he's no longer a huge, you know, enemy of free

164
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: speech the same way he was.

165
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: But let's see what he does. Do you know what

166
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: I'm saying? Like, this is it. It's one thing to

167
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 4: see this as good.

168
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: It's another thing to think think, oh, like the war

169
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: is won, or oh yeay, we can trust this guy.

170
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 4: Now I'm still a little skeptical. Do you see what

171
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 4: I mean?

172
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

173
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: No, I mean I totally get it. And this is

174
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: what my wife said. And we'll play these audio clips

175
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: for you maybe when we come back in a sec.

176
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: Because I want to really kind of dive into it.

177
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: But there is no recognition by and large of the

178
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: people who were so dramatically wrong on all of this

179
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: that they were dramatically wrong. And I would say that

180
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: some form the twenty twenty four election is a referendum

181
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: on how wrong many people in the legacy media were.

182
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: But all those people who lecture us that we were

183
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: going to be on the wrong side of history if

184
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 1: we voted for Trump, or we were on the wrong

185
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: side of history because we weren't standing with our backs on

186
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: the elevator with masks on, or sitting in circles in parks,

187
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: they just kind of vanished. They never really admitted by

188
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: and large, hey, we were wrong about everything. Zuckerberg's statement,

189
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: which we're going to play for you, will play one

190
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: cut of it right here, and then we'll play the

191
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: other one for you coming back, really is an endorsement

192
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: of which much of what we've said on this program

193
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: for the last four years. Zuckerberg admits that the government

194
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: was artificially putting pressure on him to curtail your and

195
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: mine and everyone out there's free speech rights. The government

196
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: cannot use a third party to do what it itself

197
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: would otherwise not be constitutionally able to do. That's what

198
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: they did, and that's what we've been telling you that

199
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: they did. Listen to Cut three. This is Zuckerberg saying

200
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: it's gone too far.

201
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 5: First, we're going to get rid of fact checkers and

202
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 5: replace them with community notes similar to X. Starting in

203
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 5: the US, after Trump first got elected in twenty sixteen,

204
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 5: the legacy media wrote NonStop about how misinformation was a

205
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 5: threat to democracy. We tried, in good faith to address

206
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 5: those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. But the

207
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 5: fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have

208
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 5: destroyed more trusts than they've created, especially in the US.

209
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 5: So over the next couple of months, we're going to

210
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 5: phase in a more comprehensive community notes system.

211
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: Okay, this is huge, buck, and we'll talk about all

212
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: the consequences of this will unpack basically, this Zuckerberg statement

213
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: will play a bit more of it for you going forward.

214
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: But this is a seismic victory for those of us

215
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: who believe in a crazy idea. We should all be

216
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: able to argue and debate what we think the right

217
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: direction for the country is on every subject.

218
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 4: It's certainly moving in the right direction.

219
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 3: Which is something to be happy about for now, or

220
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 3: be encouraged by maybe a better way of putting it.

221
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 4: You know.

222
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: The team at the Preborn clinics across our nation remain

223
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 3: one hundred percent committed to saving the lives of unborn children.

224
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: Each location is purposely located in a community where abortion

225
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 3: rates are high, and that's on purpose. Preborn offers the alternative,

226
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: and that's life for that unborn child. Their goal is

227
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: to provide pregnant women considering an abortion a better idea

228
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: to bring their child into this world with the support

229
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: they need. One of the many ways they do that

230
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 3: is by providing an ultrasound experience. So often, when a

231
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: woman meets her unborn baby via ultrasound, seeing the movements

232
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: within her hearing the heartbeat makes all the difference. The

233
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 3: undeniable emotional connection often leads to the decision for life,

234
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: which is the decision we often, I mean, we always

235
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 3: want to see. For just twenty eight dollars, you can

236
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: help save the life of an unborn child. One hundred

237
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: percent of your donation goes to saving lives. To donate,

238
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's

239

00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 4: Right Welcome back into Clay and Buck. Something that we

246
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 4: didn't get to.

247
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 3: Before we were just discussing is pretty funny, is that

248
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: Trump has said that he is also considering or he

249
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: didn't even say. I feel sometimes I feel like I

250
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 3: saw a pedal. What Trump says. I'm just gonna tell you.

251
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 3: He straight up said, we're gonna start calling it not

252
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 3: the Gulf of Mexico but the Gulf of America. We're

253
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: gonna rename it the Gulf of America. And you know

254
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: this stuff about naming and some of these what could

255
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: seem Clay like maybe you know, superficial changes or something.

256
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: These things we all have implications. And you know, the

257
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 3: left understands that they understand the Democrats, they understand the

258
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: power of language and demanding that certain words be used.

259
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: This is why they also understand or why they want to,

260
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 3: you know, tear down statues whe they want to rename things,

261
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: they want to change the names of military bases. Wasn't

262
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: it the Obama administration that changed it from McKinley to Denale?

263
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: And now Trump is saying, We're going back to Mount McKinley, right,

264
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: I mean in all the military bases, yes, the.

265
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.

266
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 3: So it's interesting, isn't it that On our side, I

267
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 3: think there's a little bit of a knee jerk reaction

268
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: to oh whatever, that's petty or that doesn't matter. By

269
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: the way, I'm not saying everyone feels that way, but

270
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: some people may just have that, you know, we got

271
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: bigger fish to fry mentality. Why would the left waste

272
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: their time?

273
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 4: Right?

274
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: What?

275
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: Why does it matter to them so much? But it

276
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: shouldn't matter to us at all. Clearly there's something to it,

277
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: and I think Trump pos looking at them in this

278
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 3: way and making these kinds of early proclamations is indicative

279
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: of the fact that he understands the narrative battle that

280
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 3: we're in as well.

281
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: I just think it's funny people are saying, Okay, how

282
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: do you do this? Because I do think it's interesting.

283
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: Like Marjorie Taylor Green is introducing a bill to rename

284
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on

285
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: like all American maps and everything else. So you can say, oh,

286
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: this is crazy, but remember buck, how much time did

287
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: they spend saying you can't say Redskins, you can't say

288
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, you can't say Atlanta Braves, you can't

289
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: say Cleveland Indians. The left has been obsessed with renaming

290
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: things to try and address cultural grievances that they have

291
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: decided need to be a major part of their social platform,

292
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: and we just take the punches. We never actually throw

293
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: a punch back and say, hey, how about we change

294
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: something that you might say, to your point, it's inconsequential,

295
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: but this is kind of using their playbook and throwing

296
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: it back in their face.

297
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean you have.

298
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: I mean, by the way, you have disputes between, for example,

299
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: China and all of its neighbors about you know, what

300
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: to call whether it's different islands. You know, there's the

301
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 3: what is it, there's the the Dayu and Senkaku islands,

302
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: and these these island change. You know, they've got multiple

303
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: names for it. You know, this is not an unheard

304
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: of thing. Now I understand you might say, well, we're

305
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 3: not in some dispute with Mexico over this.

306
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: I don't know, Maybe we are you maybe it's time.

307
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: And I'll also point out for people out there say, oh,

308
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: what does this matter? Oil and gas offshore, as you

309
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: talked about earlier, Biden is trying to restrict our ability

310
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: to use our offshore.

311
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: Oil and gas.

312
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 4: We should dive into this. By the way, it's it's

313
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 4: it's important.

314
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: And so something as inconsequential in theory of renaming an area. Basically,

315
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: it's saying this is the province of America, not the

316
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: province of Mexico. So if you know two hundred miles

317
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: off the coast, and I'm not an expert in oil

318
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: and gas, you know how long the far the continental

319
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: shelf exists. But this is a major issue of international trade.

320
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: There could be consequences associated with naming that tie into

321
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: that as well in terms of sovereignty and who has

322
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: rights to the oil and gas underseas. I still want

323
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: to play another Facebook too when we come back, continue

324
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 1: to break this down, but I think it's Trump and

325
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: the agenda and the narrative basically flipping overnight in all facets.

326
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: This is how they're all connected and.

327
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 3: Our oil talk makes me reminds me, have you seen

328
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 3: this Landman show?

329
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:40,719
Speaker 4: Do I need to watch this?

330
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: I've heard it's really really good.

331
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 3: I might have to add this to the list. We'll

332
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 3: talk more about that too. Bear Creek Arsenal, my friends,

333
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 3: they are fantastic. They manufacture some of the finest firearms

334
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 3: you can get absolutely anywhere, at a price point that's

335
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: going to surprise any gun owner who knows quality, production

336
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: and performance. Has always been to provide affordable firearms and

337
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 3: products for everyday Americans that are based in North Carolina.

338
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: They don't rely on retail stores, they don't have crazy markups. Instead,

339
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 3: they work to develop a direct relationship with you, making

340
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: Bearcreek Arsenal a leader in firearms innovation with an ever

341
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: growing catalog of high quality products. I own a number

342
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: of Bear Creek fiarms myself. They give me precision shooting

343
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: and great performance. Go to their website see what they've

344
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: got all these different calibers.

345
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 4: And what's really going to amaze you is the price point.

346
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 3: Because they're so affordable, and then when you take them

347
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: out the range, you'll say, this is now my new

348
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 3: favorite fires manufacturer. And the prices are just simply unbeatable.

352
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We're talking

353
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: about all the different moving parts out there. The biggest

354
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: news of the day so far that face this book

355
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: has ended its fact checking. Let me hit you with

356
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: a couple of more details about this decision.

357
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: Buck.

358
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: We've talked about how it's impacted us, how it's impacted

359
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: businesses out there. They're also moving the so called fact

360
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: checking rubric, which will now be similar to what Twitter

361
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: did with community notes. They're moving it to Texas from California.

362
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: That is, all of the employees involved there will be

363
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: in Texas now. That I think is also significant because

364
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: it basically means this will be occurring under the auspices

365
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: of Texas law, which is more protective of free speech

366
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: rights than California law would be.

367
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: So if Facebook is.

368
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: Sued over the way that they implement this, you would

369
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: have a more favorable jurisdiction in Texas by and large

370
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: compared to elsewhere in California, for instance. But again, this

371
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: is very significant. It's a direct result of Trump winning.

372
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: So if you are out there and saying would this

373
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: have happened if Kamala Harris had won the election, I

374
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: think the answer is no. Remember, Zuckerberg has been to

375
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: dinner with Trump at Mar A Lago. He has pledged

376
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: on behalf of Facebook a million dollars for the inauguration.

377
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: He has described Trump's response to the assassination as badass.

378
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: I am told that the relationship between Trump and Zuckerberg

379
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: on a personal level has become much better. And Zuckerberg

380
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: now says he's going to work with Donald Trump to

381
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: fight the censorship industrial complex. This was a part of

382
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: the statement that he released. Let me also reminds you

383
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 1: they now have a Republican, former Republican staffer in charge

384
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: of all their government affairs. And you know where they

385
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: announced this new policy buck on Fox News this morning

386
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: on Fox and Friends, probably with the idea being that

387
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: President Trump, who watches Fox News all the time, likely

388
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: to have been watching. But here is Mark Zuckerberg cut

389
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: Ford talking about working with Trump going forward.

390
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 5: We're going to work with President Trump to push back

391
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 5: on governments around the world. They're going after American companies

392
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 5: and pushing to censor more. Europe has an ever increasing

393
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 5: number of laws institutionalizing censorship and making it difficult to

394
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 5: build anything innovative there. Latin American countries have secret courts

395
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 5: that can order companies to quietly take things down. China

396
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 5: has sensored of apps from even working in the country.

397
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 5: The only way that we can push back on this

398
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 5: global trend is with the support of the US government,

399
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 5: and that's why it's been so difficult over the past

400
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 5: four years. When even the US government has pushed for

401
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 5: censorship by going after US and other American companies, it

402
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 5: has emboldened other governments to go even further.

403
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: Block We were right about everything. Trump was right about everything,

404
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: and this is as close to an acknowledgment that he

405
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: was wrong about the way that Facebook handled censorship as

406
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: you're ever going to see from Mark Zuckerberg. Now, my

407
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: wife and I bet a lot of you out there

408
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: are still angry about this, and you want more of

409
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: a final resolution maybe than what you've gotten, more consequences.

410
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: But I think this is about as good as you're

411
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: going to get from an American CEO.

412
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 3: Yes, I also think, though it's fair to point out

413
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 3: that Yeah, you know, now he's all about free speech

414
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 3: and free expression after getting it wrong, and when the

415
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: political wins favor it. I mean, there's a lot of

416
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 3: there's a lot of advantage right now with the incoming

417
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: Trump administration to take this position. I'm just saying, I

418
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 3: don't think that what Mark Zuckerber's doing. Mark Zuckerberg is

419
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: doing here isn't any way brave or even rooted in principle.

420
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 3: I think that it is somewhat cunning and political, as in,

421
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: he understands that this is in the interest of Facebook

422
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: right now, and so he's doing it.

423
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 4: You know, he has gone through some changes recently. You know,

424
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 4: he does kind of dress like a.

425
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: Guy in a nineties movie who would be like selling

426
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: ecstasy outside of a nightclub now or something. I mean,

427
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: you know, he's changed up a lot. He's a little

428
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 3: different than he used to be. Does a little bit

429
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 3: of jiu jitsu. You know, he's a little more of

430
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 3: a bro than he used to be. So maybe he

431
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: is truly a little bit more right wing. And I

432
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 3: will also say this, I don't ever want to discount that.

433
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 3: I think people have learned the left became very, very

434
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 3: assertive and very powerful as a result of COVID in

435
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 3: a way and is particularly online, in a way that

436
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: I think allowed them to show us their absolute worst

437
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 3: impulses and the worst side of who they are as

438
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: people and who they are ideologically. And I think it

439
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 3: scared a lot of folks. And I think more than that,

440
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: the results for the country were disastrous. The results of

441
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 3: the increased power and assertiveness of the left online and

442
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 3: in real life were horrific and and just took us

443
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 3: into the land of crazy town. And so the pushback

444
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 3: to that is in earnest right. So I think there

445
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 3: are a lot of people who have been red pilled

446
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 3: truly because of what has happened. I totally see that,

447
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 3: you know, I think Mark Zuckerberg, we just got to

448
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: take it a little bit step by step.

449
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 4: Here, we'll see.

450
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I haven't forgotten all the times when I

451
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: was trying to get the word out about what was true,

452
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: you know, sharing Bearnson articles, Alex Parentson articles, things like

453
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 3: that on Facebook, and just it was maddening. You get

454
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 3: these like strikes, you get these shutdowns and the whole thing,

455
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: and you could say, the most insane stuff that the

456
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 3: Democrats approve of and you would never get anything. And

457
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 3: it was a very uh, you know, Orwellian nineteen eighty

458
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 3: four existence that we all had then at a time

459
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 3: when it really mattered and it really counted. So, you know,

460
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: COVID was the stress test, and social media absolutely failed us.

461
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 3: We need to change the structures now such that that

462
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 3: will never happen again.

463
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: And remember, all we're trying to do is just say

464
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: you should be able to debate topics freely without people

465
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: parachuting in and deciding to become arbiters of what's true

466
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: or false. That the line between fact and opinion is

467
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: one of the most difficult lines I think for any

468
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: media company to try to finesse, because what we should

469
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: have is a very strict understanding of what fact is.

470
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: For instance, if Buck, if I came on today and

471
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: I said, hey, you know what, I think water actually

472
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: freezes at thirty five degrees, you might sit there and

473
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: listen and be like, okay, but you're wrong. Water freezes

474
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: at thirty two degrees. If I came on with you

475
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: and I said, hey, based on looking at this forecast,

476
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: Texas is going to get slammed.

477
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: I think if I.

478
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: Had some meteorologic meteorological knowledge, for sure. I think that

479
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: it's actually going to be colder than people expect, and

480
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: they're going to get way more snow than what the

481
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: forecast are forecasting. That's an opinion, right, So, and I

482
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: use that because a lot of this fact checking was

483
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: fact checking opinion and actually saying your opinion is wrong,

484
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: for instance. And this is one that I think is

485
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: so key. Where did COVID come from? We still don't know.

486
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: I think one reason we don't officially know is because

487
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: they curtailed our ability to actually examine that in the

488
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: immediate aftermath of COVID.

489
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 4: Right.

490
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: I think the evidence supports that COVID came from a

491
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: Chinese lab. Some of you may disagree and believe that

492
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: it was zoonotic in origin, that is, animal based in origin.

493
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: But the fact that we weren't able to actually have

494
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: that debate actually contributed to our inability to determine the

495
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: real truth. And the entire fabric of a democrat republic

496
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: is we should all be able to thoroughly argue our

497
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: own opinions and get the best results.

498
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: To the other thing, though, and this is what I

499
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 3: think was so so totalitarian about what happened at Facebook

500
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: and Twitter.

501
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: Let me just say, I know some of you aren't

502
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 4: very active.

503
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 3: A lot of you aren't very active on social media,

504
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: and by the way, it probably makes your lives better.

505
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: So congratulations, and I mean that. But I don't think

506
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 3: Donald Trump loses. Don't tell me, oh, but he won,

507
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I don't think Joe Biden

508
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: ever becomes president without the social media censorship and deeplatforming

509
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 3: and hiding Hunter laptop.

510
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 4: Story, etc. That occurred.

511
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: Okay, so I think that Donald Trump would be ending

512
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: his second term right now. So in a sense, maybe

513
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 3: you're kind of like, well, at least we get four

514
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 3: years of Trump now, Fine, But I think that without

515
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 3: that they wouldn't have been able to pull off what

516
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 3: they did in twenty twenty, all other things being equal,

517
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 3: I think that that was a deciding factor and really

518
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: a form of cheating, a form of you know, weighing

519
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: the scales down artificially in favor of Biden. So that's

520
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 3: that's a major part of this. But Clay, also we're

521
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: talking about what they've what they're fact checking was things

522
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 3: that they said were untrue that were true, and things

523
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 3: that they insisted.

524
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 4: Were true were clearly untrue. I mean, remember that Elon

525
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 4: decided that.

526
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 3: He had to buy and again, apologies for my voice,

527
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 3: folks keeps getting worse. Elon decided that he had to

528
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 3: buy Twitter basically because of a joke the Babylon be

529
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: made about a man costuming as a woman who was

530
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: getting the like who they gave the Man of the

531
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: Year award too, because he had received the Woman of

532
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: the Year award, And so the Facebook censorship regime was

533
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: such that you had to refer to a trans woman

534
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 3: as a man or a trans man as a woman. Right,

535
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 3: So what I'm saying is it was mandatory lies, and

536
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 3: mandatory lies is the ultimate power. If you can get

537
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 3: people to lie at will, you can get them to

538
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 3: do absolutely anything. It was tremendous harm that Facebook and

539
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: these other platforms were involved and perpetrating, of course, in

540
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: the name of preventing Harmon, by the way, is true

541
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 3: of all totalitarians. I mean, if you were to sit

542
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: down with the Kim dynasty in North Korea, they'd have

543
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: a million different ways of telling you what they do

544
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 3: is necessary to prevent the destruction of their country, and

545
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:20,959
Speaker 3: it's all lies.

546
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm just catching up. I hadn't even seen the dollar figure.

547
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: I saw you share this. This all ties in with

548
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: how everything is changing with the Trump win. Amazon gave

549
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: forty million dollars for the Milania Trump documentary. Yes, holy cow,

550
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: that's Michelle Obama kind of money.

551
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? No, no, do, no doubt.

552
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, to the point we're making about suddenly

553
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: Elon led the charge, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Tim Cook at Apple,

554
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: a lot of these other executives that are very wealthy

555
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: and very powerful leading to companies in twenty sixteen, There's

556
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: no way they would have for a forty million dollar

557
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: Milania Trump documentary. This is the same stuff, whether you

558
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: like it or not, to your point, buck, that a

559
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama would be getting when she gets a you know,

560
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: she writes a book and she gets a twenty million

561
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: dollar advance, or the Obamas have a Netflix deal and

562
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: they're making, like, you know, some mediocre movie but they

563
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: get hundreds of millions of dollars in order to invest

564
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: in that. Or even Megan Markle, who continues to get

565
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: tons of money. Netflix, I know has got some new

566
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Megan Markle documentary. But this is a vibe shift in

567
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: seismic ways, and I think what Mark Zuckerberg is saying

568
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: publicly is what a lot of tech CEOs are feeling privately.

569
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: And I think you have to give a lot of

570
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: credit to Elon because he has charged to up the

571
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: hill to such an extent. He took all the shrapnel,

572
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: he took all the oncoming fire, and it hasn't dented him.

573
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: And a lot of people, let's be honest, to be

574
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: behind the first wave. They're very comfortable being in the

575
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: second or third wave after all of the major fighting

576
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: has already taken place. Look at Zuckerberg saying, Hey, we're

577
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: just gonna basically take the community notes program that Elon

578
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: Musk already took put in place and started to work

579
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: through the kink sub at Facebook. Now, this is what

580
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: an election win does, and this is what win in

581
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: the popular vote does, and we should be enjoying it

582
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: because it's about as much validation as you're gonna get.

583
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: Good financial research is hard to find, especially the kind

584
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 3: that can give you consistent intel and insight. But Mark

585
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: Chakin is an individual who's distinguished himself as providing that

586
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: kind of insight, and he delivers it via his company

587
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: Shaikeen Analytics. Mark's a fifty year Wall Street vet. He

588
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 3: built an indicator that's in nearly every trading terminal to

589
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: this day and has nearly one million people using his

590
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 3: tools right now. However, his systems are signaling a big

591
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 3: shift in the AI markets. You might choose to research

592
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 3: whether wealthy individuals and hedge funds are quietly dumping one

593
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: hundred thousands of shares of the world's most popular tech stocks.

594
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 3: Mark is stepping forward to explain why that's happening. He

595
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 3: has a free briefing for you at stocks twenty twenty

596
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: five dot com. If you've got money in the market,

597
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: so you think you're safe from the AI bubble, think again.

Speaker 4: Back into Clay and Buck.

605
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: We're talking a little bit about the Biden administration just

606
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: trying to sabotage things in the way out I think

607
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 3: coming up here by trying to bar future presidents and administrations,

608
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 3: as if he has.

609
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 4: The power to do that.

610
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: From at Oil Exploration offshore. Let's let Fred and Fairfax,

611
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 3: Virginia's Colin and he actually wants to talk about this.

612
00:32:59,000 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: What's up Fred?

613
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 7: Hi there?

614
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 4: How you doing good?

615
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: How are you.

616
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 7: Really good? Just with regard to a couple of things

617
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 7: you were talking about early in the show, and they're

618
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 7: sort of factoids. First of all, we were talking about

619
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 7: how Biden was restricting drilling in our territorial waters all

620
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 7: around the country, up Alaska and every place else. At

621
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 7: the same time, there is at least one and probably

622
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 7: more Chinese drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico right now,

623
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 7: probably Chinese owned and operated, certainly Chinese owned, and you

624
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 7: can check on that. But it's sort of irony that

625
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 7: he would be Biden would be doing this at the

626
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 7: same time that the Chinese are already out there and

627
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 7: they're drilling in international waters and probably thumbing their nose

628
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 7: at us at the same time. The other thing was

629
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 7: with regard to your conversation on Greenland, the uh, the

630
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 7: issue really is, as far as I think is Trump

631
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 7: and certainly the military and the White House are concerned.

632
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 7: The Trump White House is the fact that Greenland is

633
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 7: in the perfect geostrategic position between Iceland and Canada, which

634
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 7: are both NATO countries, and we've got we've got a

635
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 7: base in Iceland, a NATO base that we we can use.

636
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 7: And so it's it's right up there exactly where where

637
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 7: we would like to have more influence and probably military

638
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 7: force presence at.

639
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 4: We already have.

640
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 3: I mean, we have a US Space Force base on

641
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 3: the northwest coast of Greenland right now.

642
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, but Space Force ain't gonna hack it when you're

643
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 7: talking about Russian ships in China.

644
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 4: No, I know.

645
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 3: I'm just saying we already have a you, we have

646
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 3: a presence there that we could build out more. I mean,

647
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: I'm trying to build on what you're saying by pointing

648
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: out we already have a foothold there.

649
00:34:59,080 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 2: Fred.

650
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: Question for you, you and you may know and likely

651
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: do way more than Buck or I would about this situation.

652
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: One of the fascinating things to me about the extraction

653
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: of oil and gas is defining where the footprint is

654
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: and who has the right to own that footprint. In

655
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: other words, if you think about it almost like a straw,

656
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: the straw can suck that that oil and gas. You know,

657
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: you dig deep with that straw and then you're sucking

658
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: from a variety of different perspectives.

659
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 2: Right, for international oil and.

660
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: Gas, if we are giving up the right to be

661
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: going and getting oil and gas offshore, to your point,

662
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 1: China's like, okay, we'll take it. In other words, it's

663
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: not as if that that that oil and gas is

664
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: staying in the water or sorry say staying underground. China

665
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: is then hoovering in and taking what we're turning down. Right,

666
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 1: it's it's very poor from a just pure business perspective decision.

667
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, also from a military position. If you remember

668
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 7: what happened in Kuwait. Kuwait was accused by Saddam of

669
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 7: putting in a drilling that was taking oil out of Iraq,

670
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 7: and that was one of the reasons why Saddam went

671
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 7: down to Kuwaitah was because he was accusing them of

672
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 7: they had They had drilling on their property in Kuwait,

673
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 7: on their land, but it was taking from the pool

674
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 7: that was in a very productive part of Iraq.

675
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 2: Thank you for the call. I think this is super important.

676
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: Trump sees it.

677
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,959
Speaker 1: Biden is trying to do everything he can to muck

678
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: it all up on his way out. We'll talk more

679
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: about this and continue to break down the absolute latest

680
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: Gulf of America.

681
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 2: It's a new age boys and girl
