1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Third hour 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: of the program. Props to our caller. It is true 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: they were so crazy, Buck, that they did tear down 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: a Frederick Douglas statue in was it New York, New 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: York state, I believe is where this was taking place. 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: And it's wild to think that this has ever ended 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: up happening. But this is absolutely bonkers and it speaks to, 10 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, the reality of Trump being right about ultimately 11 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: all of history is under attack here and here's the story. 12 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: A statue of Frederick Douglass, installed in twenty eighteen to 13 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of the Abolitionist birth, was 14 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: ripped from its pet stole in Rochester, New York on Sunday. 15 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: This is in July of twenty twenty, the one hundred 16 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: and sixty eighth anniversary of one of Frederick Douglas's most 17 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: famous speeches. And I don't know that they ever ended 18 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: up catching the person who was responsible. It was in Rochester, 19 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: New York, by the way, because Frederick Douglas lived there 20 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: for decades. There are thirteen monuments to him throughout the city, 21 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: and the entire statue was ripped apart. 22 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: And so. 23 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Look, this is just it. I think. I would like 24 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: to think, Buck, that we have come through most of 25 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: the craziness of this teardown statue universe that was going 26 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: on in twenty twenty and in the lead up as 27 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: part of Charlottesville and everything else. But I want to 28 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: play this because Trump gets criticized for a lot, but 29 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: he also nails intuitively much of I think the national 30 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: consciousness and not only where we are in the president. 31 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: This was him in Charlottesville. Recall Buck that this is 32 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: the moment when Joe Biden falsely claimed that he decided 33 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: he had had to run for president in twenty twenty 34 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: because he bought into the very fine people. Why. But 35 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: here was Trump saying, it's not going to end with 36 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: Confederate soldiers. This is going to continue. 37 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 2: Listen. So this week it's Roberty Lee. 38 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: I noticed that Stonewall Jackson's coming down. I wonder, is 39 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson 40 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 3: the week after? You know, you really do have to 41 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 3: ask yourself, where does it stop. Was George Washington as 42 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 3: slave owner? Are we going to take down statues to 43 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 3: George Washington? 44 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him? 45 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: Well, okay, good? Are we going to take down the 46 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: statue because he was a major slave owner? 47 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: Now? Were we going to take down his statue? 48 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: Trump's one hundred percent right about all this, Buck, And 49 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: the answer to some of that is already in some places. 50 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 51 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: The New York City Council, which we mentioned yesterday, had 52 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: this committee on Cultural Affairs or something. They've already removed 53 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: a bust of Thomas Jefferson from the city council. Yeah, 54 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: they've already done that. I mean, this is something that 55 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: has already occurred and I think is going to continue 56 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: to occur. I think there's going to continue to be 57 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: a push for even more of this. As a New 58 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: York City guy born in raised Buck, I mean even 59 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: I remember this iconic statue. They also took down the 60 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: Theodore Roosevelt statue outside of the Museum of Modern History 61 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: or something like that. Right of the Roosevelt statue is 62 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: now gone of him on a horseback. Yeah, the mutinuam 63 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: Natural History Yeah, they took that down as well because 64 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: of the That was because the specific depiction of him 65 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: on the horse and you know the two individuals who 66 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: were next to him. But that was one of the 67 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: most famous statues of New York. 68 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they got rid of it. 69 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: Where is that statue now, by the way, where did 70 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: they take it? 71 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: Do you know? 72 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: They moved They didn't destroy it. They didn't like melt 73 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: it down, but they moved it somewhere else. A team 74 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: will check on that. I'm not sure exactly where they 75 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: moved it. There were some effort to come forward and 76 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: protest on behalf of keeping that statue that ended up 77 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: not happening. Yeah. By the way, credit to our listeners 78 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: for reinforcing that Frederick Douglas story. I also wanted to 79 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: mention from a news perspective, the FED did not raise rates. 80 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: That was kind of expected, but they just finished their 81 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: meeting and buck. One of the big stories as we 82 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: get closer and closer were fourteen less than fourteen months 83 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: out from the election, is going to be how does 84 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: the FED deal with these twenty plus year high record 85 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: mortgage rates and what is the economy going to look like? 86 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: And one of the difficult decisions I think they're going 87 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: to have is do they do one more rate increase? 88 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: Do they start to bring down interest rates as we 89 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: get closer to election day so Biden can say, hey, 90 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: we beat em. Played like this is going to be 91 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: a major storyline in terms of how things go from here. 92 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 2: I oh, absolutely. 93 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: I mean on the economic front, I think there's a 94 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: lot of concern among Democrats that it's one thing to 95 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: have Joe Biden as the brand and the guy when 96 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: you have an economy. Yeah, I know it's not good now, 97 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: but it's not so bad that they can't lie about it. 98 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: There is the effectively, there is the possibility that things 99 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: might cross that threshold where it just becomes impossible. You know, 100 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: the lies that they tell in politics have to have 101 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: some level of believability, credibility, right, It can't just be 102 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: absolutely absurd. So a big economic turn I think could 103 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: be a major problem. Speaking of economic turns, can we 104 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: do you want to do the discussion? Because I mentioned 105 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: this in the last hour and then we got stuck 106 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: on the on the statues and stuff of the grocery stores. 107 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: I said it was a tale of two cities, New York. 108 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: What they're doing with the statues and then in Chicago 109 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: what they're thinking about doing, or we could hold this one, 110 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: but I don't know, let's not let's dive into it. 111 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: I mean, because this is there used to be Democrats 112 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: who understood basic business, and there used to be legitimate 113 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: capitalists in the Democrat Party. When I saw this story 114 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: that you sent to me, I could it sounds like 115 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: something that would happen in Cuba, which is where they 116 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: have like the state sponsored grocery stores. But for people 117 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: out there who don't know, fill them in on what 118 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: the newest plan in Chicago is. According to their brilliant 119 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: Mayor Brandon Johnson. So Mayor Johnson, who unfortunately for the 120 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: people of Chicago is probably more anti police and anti 121 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: law and order than his predecessor, who was terrible on 122 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: those issues. But Brandon Johnson has decided that he wants 123 00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: to explore a partnership where the City of Chicago would 124 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: operate grocery stores in what they call food deserts. Now, 125 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 1: if you're not familiar for the food desert concept, and 126 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: I've done some reading on this over the years, the 127 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: food desert concept is that in low income neighborhoods, there's 128 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: not enough access to fresh produce, so you know you meat, chicken, eggs, milk, 129 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: et cetera. Right, so people end up buying in those 130 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: low income neighborhoods soda, chips and stuff that is not 131 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: good for you. Brandon Johnson wants to set up these 132 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: city grocery stores. Now, first off, they say, the city 133 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: grocery stores or the grocery stores that I've moved out 134 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: of some areas of Chicago, Whole Foods, Walmart, which isn't 135 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: a grocery store per se, but has a grocery you know, 136 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: substantial grocery section that they've moved some of those out 137 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: of neighborhoods. They say it's because they weren't profitable. Well, 138 00:07:54,120 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: step one Clay would be why are those massive brands 139 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: not offitable in low income neighborhoods. Could it be that 140 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: there's a massive amount of theft going on? Yeah, that 141 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: is unpunished. 142 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: That is the answer. Yes, and yes, that is the answer. 143 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: It was all these like random people weighing in with yes, 144 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: it's because they're stealing from the stores, Like there's a 145 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: lot of theft going on. Why are they shutting down 146 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: the Whole Foods in San Francisco. Why are they shutting 147 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: you to go to the list. It's because people steal 148 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: things with no consequences. So that's step one of this. 149 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: And then then the other part of this is this 150 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: belief that if you have city run think about that, 151 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: and it does feel very Soviet, right, city run grocery 152 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: stores and maybe even subsidize them and subsidized certain food 153 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: that that would be considered healthier, that you would change 154 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: choices that would be made. That's completely false. They've done 155 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: under the Obama administration. They tried this. They subsidized farmers' 156 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: markets and they subsidized fresh produce at grocery stores in 157 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: low incomeighborhoods, and they were not able to change the 158 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: food that was purchased. The choice is being made at all, 159 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: Clay at all. People didn't care. People want to If 160 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,599 Speaker 1: people want to buy chips and soda, they want to 161 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: buy chips and soda. They don't want to buy you know, 162 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: you know, uh lean red meat and yeah, russels, sprout's 163 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: and salary. The the the challenge here in general, and 164 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: this is where again the people who claim to care 165 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: about the people in these neighborhoods don't actually care about 166 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: the people in the neighborhoods, because if you truly did, 167 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: you would understand that all of these businesses being forced 168 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: to shut down is destructive to the overall business because 169 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: it takes away the jobs. Right if you want to 170 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: work near your home, as many people do, when a 171 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: Kroger has to shut down, or when a Whole Foods 172 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: has to shut down, or when a frigging Nordstrom has 173 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: to shut down, as has happened all over big cities 174 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: right now in America, then you are taking away people's 175 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: ability to get jobs. And you're also taking away people's 176 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: abilities to efficiently go and be able to purchase products 177 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: without having to get on a bus or without having 178 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: to somehow procure transportation or walk massive distances. And this 179 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: is people. The number one story I would argue for you, 180 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: Buck that doesn't get covered is rich people making decisions 181 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: for poor people that make the rich people feel better 182 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: and make the poor people's lives worse. This is basically 183 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: Democrat policy writ large, Oh, we're going to defund the police. Well, now, 184 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: people in the inner city neighborhoods are not safe, but 185 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: you and your gated mansion get to feel safe because 186 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: they're not defunding the police in your neighborhood. Oh, we 187 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: can't arrest people for stealing from these people are impoverished, 188 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: Like the AOC argument, they're just stealing to try to 189 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: be able to live. No, so oftentimes it's organized theft, 190 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: and ultimately the profit margins of all of these retail 191 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: establishments are tiny, and you end up having all these 192 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: places shut down. Life gets progressively worse. Oh, we can't 193 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: let people choose what school. 194 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: They go to. 195 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: Good heavens. Meanwhile, you're paying for private school because you're 196 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: rich enough to be able to pick where your kids 197 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: go to school, or you can afford to live in 198 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: a better neighborhood. Everything rich white people, and it's often 199 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: rich white people who are woke do makes poor minorities 200 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: largely their lives bet worse, and we don't because the 201 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: one thing if you are rich and influential and powerful 202 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: in our society, the one thing that is so alluring 203 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: and unfortunately drives so much of the politics of those 204 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: in those positions, is to feel virtuous. Yes, is it's 205 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: the vanity of I'm such a good person. I believe 206 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: the things I do, not because of what the effects 207 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: will be in terms of policy. I believe the things 208 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: I do because I'm such a good person. That's why 209 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: I'm going to the Climate march, you know. I mean 210 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: I've seen some of these things. Oh, we got Zelenski. 211 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the Zelenski thing. We come back here, 212 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: Zelenski giving us a climate lecture at the UN It's. 213 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 2: Pretty pretty amazing. 214 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: I mean, well, he has to justify in some way 215 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: the billions of dollars at the side adminstration. 216 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 2: You have to give me more billions. And also I'm 217 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: not doing enough with the climate change. 218 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: And they also said, and I appreciate Buck wearing the 219 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,479 Speaker 1: same shirt as me. I'm glad that we're compatriots. 220 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: Wow, like that. It's like that today. 221 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: Pure Talk all one cell phone.

They increase the data in each of 224 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: the monthly plans by more than fifty percent, so Pure 225 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: Talk customers could access more data without paying more. That 226 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: applies to both the new and existing Pure Talk customers. 227 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 1: The plan comes to the Mobile Hotspot two and that's 228 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: new as well.

Today from the front 241 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: lines of truth, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. 242 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody. 243 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and two A two two eight A two 244 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: on the phone lines. And we had mentioned this before. 245 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: You know, the United Nations had its what is it, 246 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: the Security or the UN General Assembly. Happened this week 247 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: and it's in New York City. I always just remember 248 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: this because it was among the most annoying weeks of 249 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: the year because getting around is effectively impossible if you're 250 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: anywhere in Manhattan, at least anywhere near Midtown. They have 251 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: to shut down all these roads. And you know, oh gosh, 252 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: you know, the Minister of some country no one cares 253 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: about is here, and no one's allowed to walk down 254 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: the street anymore. The whole thing is absurd. But Zelenski 255 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: was speaking at the United Nations, and when he's not 256 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: saying that taxpayers should give him us, taxpayers should give 257 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: him billions more. You know, I think I said in 258 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: February of twenty twenty one, this this is going to 259 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: cost us, when all said and done, a trillion dollars, 260 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: which which sounded maybe crazy at the time, but you know, 261 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: it's going to be two hundred billion here pretty fast, 262 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: and no sign of this thing slowing down. So this 263 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: is going to be a massive, massive expense at a 264 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: time when we're already thirty to thirty three trillion dollars 265 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: in debt. Here's what Zelenski said though about climate change. 266 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 4: Even though humanity is failing on his climate policy objectives. 267 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: This means that extreme. 268 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 4: Weather will still impact the normal global life, and some 269 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 4: evil state will also weaponize its outcomes. And when people 270 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 4: in Morocco and Libya and other countries die as a 271 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 4: result of natural disasters, and when islands and countries disappear underwater, 272 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 4: and when tornados and deserts are spreading into new territories. 273 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 4: And when all of these is happening, one unnatural disaster 274 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: in Moscow decided to launch a big war and kill 275 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 4: tens of thousands of people. 276 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: Okay, well, I just the climate change part of this. 277 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: You cannot trust anybody who preaches climate change catastrophism. 278 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: It's a rule. It's a hard and fast rule. 279 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: Anyone who says humanity is not doing enough about climate 280 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: change is not someone that I want to hear from 281 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: really on anything else. Wouldn't you think buck that if 282 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: your country was being invaded. This reminds me of remember 283 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: when the hurricane was about to hit and the Biden 284 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: administration said, make sure you get your COVID shots. Oh yeah, 285 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: it is And people were like, well, I mean the 286 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: hurricane's gonna hit and that seems like really not ideal, 287 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: And they said, yeah, but you need to make get 288 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: your COVID shot because you know you might be in 289 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: crowded places or whatever else. And people are like, I 290 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: think I'll focus on trying to make sure that we 291 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: make it through the hurricane. Okay. I would think that 292 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: of all the countries right now that could not be 293 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: worried about climate change, Ukraine would probably be number one 294 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: because Russia's invading, and you know, I don't think very 295 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: many people are worried about one hundred years from now 296 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: how high the oceans are going to be while you're 297 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: dealing with trench warfare and every moment is sort of 298 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: this on tenter hook's edge of whether you're gonna be 299 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: advanced or the other side's gonna advance. And by the way, 300 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: the data all reflects here, and nobody's talking about it 301 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: because we don't have a media or frankly a public 302 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: that can really stay that focused on it for very long. 303 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: We basically just have created a new marginal line, right, 304 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: this insanely sophisticated trench warfare where it seems like neither 305 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,160 Speaker 1: side's really going to be able to advance one way 306 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: or the other for a very long time now. And 307 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: so no one has told me, and I'm sure you 308 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: haven't heard either, Buck, how does this end? Because it 309 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: feels like to me we could be sitting here a 310 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: decade from now still with both troops, you know, manning 311 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: the lines and nothing really happening, much like I mean, 312 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: we never really have resolved anything in Korea, right, we 313 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: just kind of have a basic you don't hear anymore. Yeah, 314 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: you have an armist us. You don't hear any more 315 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: about this. But there was supposed to be a big 316 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: offensive where Russia was going to lose all this terrat 317 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: didn't happen. 318 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: Didn't happen. 319 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: New York Times was getting this readership ready for the 320 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: huge breakthrough in Ukraine. Yep, not even close. So years 321 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: and years of this that's what's coming our way unless 322 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: someone stops it. If you own a firearm, you know 323 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: the value of keeping your skills sharp and your aim intact. 324 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: How you do that just got a whole lot easier. 325 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: Make an investment in a home training system that operates 326 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: without any AMMO. It's called MANTISX, and it's a firearms 327 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: training system that is a no ammo, all electronic way 328 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: to improve your shooting accuracy.

Welcome back 339 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: in Clay Shraravis, BT Sexton show Buck. I want to 340 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: talk about a story that hasn't gotten very much media attention, 341 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: but I think would have gotten way more attention if 342 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: any other aspect of this If you flip around the details, 343 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: this is a and I want to make sure I 344 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: get the guy's name right because the victim here is 345 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: incredibly important. This is a sixty four in Clark County, 346 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: which is the Las Vegas area. A sixty four year 347 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: old dad, Andreas Renee Probes. He's a former police chief 348 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: from California who now is living in Las Vegas, who's 349 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: on a bicycle on the side of the road, and 350 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: two teenagers stole a car. Seventeen year old driver, both minorities, 351 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 1: recorded on video themselves intentionally running over this bicyclist, killing him. 352 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: The two teenagers, I believe, have now been arrested. They're 353 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: going to be prosecuted as adults. They face murder charges 354 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: for the hit and run. The story has gotten almost 355 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: no attention. It's awful, it's graphics. Some of you may 356 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: well have seen this video. You can legitimately watch as 357 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: they are in this stolen car and make the intentional 358 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: decision to swerve and hit this bicyclist. The media power 359 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: in general is to decide which stories to cover, and 360 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: if there is a minority victim and a white person 361 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: is in any way involved in it, it is immediately 362 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: the number one story in America. Buck if two kids 363 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: had intentionally driven over a black bicyclist, how much attention 364 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: do you think that story and there was video of 365 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: it happening, how much attention to that story do you 366 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: think it would get. It would be the biggest story 367 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: in America, and we all know it, and there would 368 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: be protests. 369 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 2: There would probably be Ryant's, There would be. 370 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: Democrats that were claiming that it was the result of 371 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And I mean, this is yes, we know 372 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: exactly the would run is yeah, absolutely, and this is 373 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: what this is what we see in this country. 374 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 2: I mean, there's you said. 375 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the the biggest editorial decision is not how 376 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: you cover, it's what you cover, which is important for 377 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: everyone to realize and you can sense that in a 378 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: lot of these In a lot of these stories, also, 379 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: the focus is very easy for them to try to 380 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: change to tell a narrative one way or the other. 381 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? 382 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: This is this is an instance where you're not going 383 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: to hear anything about the backgrounds of these individuals. You're 384 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: not going to hear if you know what they put 385 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: online on social media or whatever. The media game is 386 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: rigged in this way, and it's and it's really meant 387 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 1: to propagate a perception. The perception is that what is 388 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: very common in this country is that there are a 389 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: lot of white people who are to commit violence against 390 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: black people. But that racist white people murdering black people 391 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: is like that that is the narrative that they want 392 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: to set, and specifically for Black Lives Matter, it's that 393 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: racist cops, generally racist white cops. 394 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 2: Are murdering black people. 395 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: The numbers, when you actually look at it, show that 396 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: this is uh the the this is the opposite of reality. 397 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: It's actually very rare, and the alternative is far less rare. 398 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: As in the alternative, you are far more likely a 399 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: white person. First of all, most racial crime occurs in 400 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: most inside the same race. But if you are white, 401 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: you are far more likely to be a victim of 402 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: a white person of a black person. When it comes 403 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: to a crime of violence. I think it's like ten 404 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: to one more likely than you are to be a 405 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: black person and be victim of a white person. Yet 406 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: the media has so propagated this false narrative that anytime 407 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: there is a white person that engaged in the acts 408 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: of violence, it's the number one story in America. And 409 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: Joe Biden gets, you know, hobbles up the Air Force 410 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: one and gets on the airplane and flies to wherever 411 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: this scene is and announces, I mean, this is not exaggeration. 412 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, and Joe Biden, the President 413 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: of the United States, have said that the number one 414 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: threat in America is racist, white supremacist. That's what they 415 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: try to argue. That this is the most existential threat, 416 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: that this is the biggest danger that all of us 417 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: face in America. Is not true at all. And when 418 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,400 Speaker 1: I see this, I mean, it's on video, it's great, 419 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: it's awful. It's not even getting covered by the New 420 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 1: York Times. And remember they had that story. And I 421 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: think the New York Times has been somewhat shamed, at 422 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: least for now because not an election year. But the 423 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: was it Detroit area, the black kid who got shot 424 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: at and wasn't killed when he knocked on the wrong door. 425 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: Oh, that's no, I think it was in Texas. 426 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: And then there was the woman, the young white New 427 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: York I think, and she was got and killed for 428 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: knocking on a door in the same weekend, and the 429 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: and the the wounded but completely fine, full recovery young 430 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: black man in Texas being shot for knocking on a 431 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: shot for knocking on a door was a huge national 432 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: store in the New York Times. And then they realized, 433 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: oh wait, somebody was actually killed in very similar circumstances, 434 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: but she was white. I guess they had to cover 435 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: that too, or I guess we have to cover that too, 436 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: was their attitude. Yeah, sorry, it was Kansas City, I believe, 437 00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: Oh Kansas City. Sorry, yeah, so, but it is emblematic 438 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: of the way that these stories are covered, and certainly 439 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: we offer prayers and condolences to that family. I can't 440 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: even imagine what it's like. So for there to be 441 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: a video of your father being intentionally murdered by someone 442 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: who is driving in a car and decides that they're 443 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: going to intentionally run over his bicycle and to have 444 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: his life in at that moment, especially a guy who 445 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: I think all the stories reflect wanted to spend the 446 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: rest of his life. He was looking forward to spending 447 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,639 Speaker 1: the rest of his life in being a grandfather and 448 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: continuing in his retirement. And I mean, this is a 449 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: public execution and almost nobody's talking about it. Well, it 450 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: just goes to you know, the people that make these decisions, 451 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: and newsrooms as well. 452 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: I think that they they take the attitude. 453 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: Look, there's something that happens frequently in New York City, 454 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: and it would happen on New York One, it would 455 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: happen on local news all the time, where they would say, 456 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 1: even in a case of public safety, that is still 457 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: at risk, meaning you know, somebody try to you know, 458 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: violently attack and sexually assault a woman in a park, 459 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 1: you know, in a city park, and they would give it. 460 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: They would put on the screen a you know, a 461 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: not a photo, but you don't mean a composite like 462 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: a drawing of the individual based on the the victims recollection, 463 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: and they would always describe it as basically male five 464 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: eight to five ten one hundred and eighty pounds wearing 465 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: a sweatshirt. 466 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 2: Right, that was generally what but. 467 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: You'd look at the photo, you'd say, I think they 468 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: actually know more in this instance than they're letting on. Like, 469 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: I think they're not telling us the full description of 470 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: the suspect. And there are a lot of people in 471 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: newsrooms who would tell you that. And there have been 472 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: movements about this, by the way, like don't share mug 473 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: shots in San Francisco because they are trying to control perception. 474 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 1: They don't want a certain person action to get out there, 475 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,479 Speaker 1: and they're open about that. And so that influences certainly 476 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 1: news coverage, and it influences even the way that laws. 477 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: I mean things like whether mugshots will be distributed or not. 478 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: These are things that we see going on constantly, and 479 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: you know, you're not supposed to notice. That's you're just 480 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: not supposed to notice the way these news entities are 481 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: conducting their business on this stuff. 482 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: And if you're. 483 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: Interested in this, google it. Google this guy Las Vegas 484 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: bicyclist being murdered. Read the articles about it. Almost none 485 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: of them mentioned the race of the perpetrators. Don't even 486 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 1: mention it. And then ask yourself, Wait a minute, what 487 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: how how quickly the first paragraph would be two white 488 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: teenagers ran over a black cyclist, or it could be Asian, 489 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: it could be if it was anyone who is non white, 490 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: the white you know, the fact that the attackers are 491 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: white and there's a numb racial racial difference makes it 492 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: a massive national news story. 493 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 2: I mean, you know. 494 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: And the perfect example of this is obviously something like 495 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: Jesse Smolette, where I mean the whole thing was a lie, 496 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: but the fact that that turned into Remember Kamala Harris 497 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: weighed in on that publicly, yes, about how the real 498 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 1: perpetrators there need to be brought to justice. It's like, well, 499 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: Jusse was the perpetrator. So anyway, I just think it's 500 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: it's worth go look it up and ask yourself how 501 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: honest is the media in the way that they cover 502 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: these stories. Again, it's on video, and you can go 503 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: look the video up yourself if you want to. It's awful. 504 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: It's a public execution. I bet a lot of you 505 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: are hearing about it for the first time and had 506 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: no idea that it occurred. 507 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awful. 508 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: Again, the power is in the way that they choose 509 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: to cover stories born from the tragedy of nine to eleven. 510 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: The Tunnel the Towers Foundation committed to helping our nation's 511 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: heroes and their families in their darkest hours.

The Foundation pays 514 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: off their mortgages and lifts their financial burdens through their 515 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: gold Star Family Home Program and Fallen first Responder Home Program. 516 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: Through their Smart Home Program, severely injured veterans and first 517 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: responders regain their independence with a mortgage free homes specially 518 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: adapted to meet their unique physical needs.

You know, some kind 549 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: of a chain in America. Oh, oh man, this is 550 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: a tough one. So I would probably go with five man, 551 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: five guys. I might go five guys, I might go, 552 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: I might go Steak shake Shack, also incredible. I might 553 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: go shake Shack. I would go those two probably as 554 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: my top two, and then i'd probably go in and out. 555 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: If I had to go gold, Silver, Bronze, What about you, 556 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: I go, I go in and out, shake shack, and 557 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: then five guys I think would be my I the same, 558 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: the same, different order, but the same trio. Yes, and 559 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: I think those it's very tough. 560 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 2: To some people. 561 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: There's what's one that h what a Yeah, I'm not 562 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: I like it, Okay, I'm I'm, I'm I'm fine. But 563 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: I think you have to go shake shack. I think 564 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: you have to go five guys, and I think you 565 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: have to go in and out as the trio. In 566 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: my always humble opinion, if you had to rank burgers, 567 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: and I know people live in different parts of the country, 568 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: so you might not be able to get those everware 569 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 1: my still goat though I would if you told me 570 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: right now you can only have one fast food restaurant 571 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: for the rest of your life, what would your choice be? Uh, Well, 572 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: I can't eat a lot of fast food because of 573 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: the Celiac disease, so I probably would say uh shakesheck, 574 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: I would go Chick fil A, and it would be 575 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: an immediate, instantaneous I would go Chick fil A for 576 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: the rest of my life. Our team has also informed 577 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: me I was unaware of this. Apparently now there's like 578 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: a national everything, like every food gets its own day 579 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: and it's National Pepperoni Pizza Day play okay, which pepperoni 580 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: is the most common and popular topping on pizza, Which 581 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: is interesting, Like I don't think that you'd, you know, 582 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: you necessarily would have would have gone right to that, 583 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: but makes sense. I think, well, I would go immediately 584 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: to it because every kid's pizza party that I have 585 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: been to and O, we're held. I've got a fifteen, 586 00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: a thirteen, and a nine year old, so trust me, 587 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: three boys. I've had a lot of pizza parties over 588 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: the last fifteen years, every single one of them almost 589 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: exclusively cheese and pepperoni. Is it like, if you go 590 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: to a kid's party and you could have ordered ten pizzas, 591 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,120 Speaker 1: five of them are going to be pepperoni, five of 592 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: them are going to be cheese, almost without fault. So 593 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: I didn't know it was National Pepperoni Pizza Day, but 594 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: that is. That's another you can tell by the way. 595 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: One of the challenges of this timeframe, especially Central time zone, 596 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: is we're right on the lunch period. So all this 597 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: is just I'm ready to eat, like I'm ready to 598 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: go downstairs and dive into dive into my meal. But 599 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: I bet there's a lot of people out there listening 600 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: to us all over the country now that are either 601 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: on their lunch break or they're preparing for it. And 602 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: now we've probably sold a bunch of hamburgers and probably 603 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 1: pizza too. 604 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that's a very good Are our calls 605 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 2: all still up? Team? 606 00:33:55,480 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 1: Do we have these upstill? Okay, let's do Maryland and wait, 607 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: Maryland in Smithtown, New York? 608 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 2: Is that right? 609 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: Hi? 610 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 3: Guys. 611 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 5: It's just curious to get your opinion on the endgame 612 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,240 Speaker 5: of the media and the liberal left that's controlling the narrative. 613 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 5: And what I mean by endgame is, you know, ignoring 614 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 5: the Biden dementia, the VP giggle Puss, and the border 615 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 5: crisis and eventually isn't it going to like affect their families, 616 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 5: affect their lives like they're paying the same thing that 617 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 5: I'm paying for oil. It isn't great. So what is 618 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 5: the endgame to denying what's really happening. I'm just curious 619 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 5: what you guys think. 620 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 2: Clay, you go first. I got one on this too, 621 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: Go ahead. 622 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: It's a great question. My theory is, and this is 623 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: the sports analogy of life. They decided what team they're on, 624 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: and all of the consequences of being on that team 625 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,720 Speaker 1: don't matter because in order to acknowledge that they're wrong, 626 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: they'll have to admit that the other side was right. 627 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,920 Speaker 1: It's not about admitting that you're wrong, it's about admitting 628 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: that the other side w right. And so even though 629 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: they're failing. I mean, is there is a good question 630 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: for everybody out there listening. Can you point to a 631 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: red governed state or city that is an unmitigated disaster 632 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,720 Speaker 1: because of Republican policies? I can't. I can't think of one. 633 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: Just I mean, the people out there, you can think 634 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 1: you can, we'll talk about I think it's an interesting question. Chicago, LA, DC, Philly, 635 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 1: New York, there's no opposition party. All of them are 636 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: failing on an epic level. And I think that the 637 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,480 Speaker 1: people that are making these policy decisions or that are 638 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: pushing for these ideas. They always assume that it really 639 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: won't affect them, and it generally doesn't, and it takes 640 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: a long enough time that they're willing to have others 641 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: pay the price for their lack of judgment or their 642 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, self obsessed approach to everything. You know, it's 643 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: a little bit like the Thatcher line, right promise socialism 644 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: has eventually run out, run out of other people's money. 645 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: The problem with Democrats in charge is eventually it's in 646 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 1: their backyard too, and eventually it's you know, whether it's 647 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: crime or the migrant crisis in New York or whatever. 648 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: But they run on emotion, so they don't look at 649 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: what has happened and what has worked in the past. 650 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 2: What's most important to the Democrat mindset is that's what 651 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 2: I will support. 652 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: And that's why the idea of a lot of people 653 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: out there listening to us right now, who live in 654 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: those red states, who live in those red cities, who 655 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,959 Speaker 1: are very happy with the governance there, super concerned that 656 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: all the people moving into their states are the equivalent 657 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: of locusts. They're fleeing from areas that have been destroyed 658 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 1: by left wing politics, and they're worried that they're going 659 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: to bring that to the Red States and the Red cities.
