1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome man, I remember two Clay Travis 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. Hope your Thursdays are going fantastically well. 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: I've been sharing and having some fun over the collapse 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: of CNN plus, one of the biggest media failures in history, 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: shutting down after just twenty one days. The battle for 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: Elon Musk to buy Twitter is ongoing, and officially, within 8 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: the last couple of hours, it has been announced that 9 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: Elon Musk has obtained the financing in order to be 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: able to buy Twitter. We will see what ends up 11 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: happening there. Doctor Nicole Sapphire will join us soon as 12 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: the left wing Blue Checkmark Brigade Buck I'm sure you've 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: seen this too, has gone into hyperdrive, posting photos of 14 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: themselves wearing masks in airports as if that's somehow barred 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: the one I saw one woman who was saying, I'm 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: gonna I'm defiance of the mask mandate being lifted. I 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: am going to wear a mask. But a mandate doesn't 18 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: mean that you can't wear a mask. It just means 19 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: that you don't have to wear a mask, so you're 20 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: not really protesting by doing something that you were already 21 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: doing before and that you aren't being prohibited from doing. 22 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: But they don't seem to really understand that. Yes, they 23 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: also think that if they have multiple Ukraine flags in 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: their Twitter bio, then their mask is actually even more effective. 25 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've caught onto that. But also 26 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: having little syringes to show how many vaccines you've gotten. 27 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: For those of you who don't spend time on Twitter 28 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: like we do, this is so commonplace among journos, quote, 29 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: epidemiologists and other medical experts now where they have there's 30 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: this interesting correlation between I will double mask defiantly forever 31 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: and not one not to a lot of Ukraine flags, 32 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: preferably replace the photo of your face even with a 33 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: Ukraine flag, to show what a great person you are 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: in defense of Ukraine. I mean, what's amazing to me 35 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: is I don't even I've even had people come after me. 36 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: She's like, you're not pro Ukraine enough, like because I 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: don't put little flags everywhere like they hold the same positions, 38 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: they believe the same things I do. But this is 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: clay everyone Now it's all about personal branding. Mask being 40 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: is so tied in with personal branding for these people, 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: and you know the old jokes about like you know 42 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: such and such get a personality, Like that's that's not 43 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: a personality. You need to get a masking is not 44 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: a personality, folks. I hate that. You know you're gonna 45 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: have to actually show your face to people now and 46 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: be normal and just deal with it. It also doesn't work, 47 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: as all of the data has reflected for years now, 48 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: I feel like we need to keep hammering that home 49 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: over and over again still, which is ridiculous. Well, this 50 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: is why the old So another thing that comes up 51 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: a lot now is they talk about what if you're 52 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: next to an elderly person or what if what if 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: you're next to an immuno a person who has an 54 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: immuno compromise family member, And to this I always want 55 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: to say, Okay, hold on a second. I mean I 56 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: have an autoimmune disorder. That's actually what ciliac disease is. 57 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: So do I get to do the well I have 58 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: an immune disorder? What are we really talking about it? 59 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: I know there are real things that would be real concerned. Obviously, 60 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: if someone has cancer are going through chemotherapy, that's a 61 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: real immune immune deficiency immune concern. I think some of 62 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: the blue checks though, who are out there, are extending 63 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: this a little too far. And also I'd want to ask, 64 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: what are you doing ineffectively a giant sardine can with 65 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty other people traveling five hundred miles 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: an hour? Are you not with is your deficiency or 67 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: your immuno deficiency such that you don't go to restaurants 68 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: or bars, or offices or churches or anything else. No, 69 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: there's just a dishonesty behind this. Now people are looking 70 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: for these rules. And more to the point, I would 71 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: say to the immuno compromise or elderly person sitting next 72 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: to me on the plane, because this is the theoretical 73 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: that keep doing exactly what you said, Clay Mass don't work. Yeah, 74 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: I should explain to them that it's very clear now 75 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: that this does not actually keep them safer. So I 76 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: am not going to bend the knee to a neuroses 77 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: no matter what someone's health status may be, because this 78 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: is now a mental health, mental health issue. I mean, 79 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: just think about it. Take it outside of masking. If 80 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: the government suddenly mandated that everyone had to wear baseball 81 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: caps to keep people from getting Alzheimer's disease. You would say, 82 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: wait a minute, like, well, the brain is inside of 83 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: the baseball cap, and we believe that if you wear 84 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: a baseball cap, Alzheimer's is not going to happen. Do 85 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: you not care about all the people out there that 86 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: are getting Alzheimer's? And he would say, well, wait a minute, 87 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: the baseball cap doesn't actually do anything. Stop, stop stop. 88 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: They would say, you need to wear a cap. You 89 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: don't care about people who are getting Alzheimer's, that is, 90 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: so take it outside of asking. You tell someone that 91 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: they are mandated to do something that has nothing to 92 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: do with adding the underlying issue. And so if you 93 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: just took it away like oh, the brain is inside 94 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: of the baseball cap. Yeah, but it has nothing to 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: do with whether somebody gets Alzheimer's disease or not, then 96 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: people take a step back and they're like, yeah, why 97 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: should the government be mandating something that we all have 98 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: to do that has zero impact on what they claim 99 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: that they are trying to impact. Right, Just take it 100 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: outside of masking because it comes so political. Just say, okay, 101 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: you're wearing a baseball cap. If you don't, you don't 102 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: care about Alzheimers. That's how ridiculous the mask mandate really is. 103 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: Imagine if the federal government mandated MAGA hats for everyone 104 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: to wear. That's essentially what they've done with masks. Now, 105 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: masking is supposed to be compliance to the Democrat apparatus. 106 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: Here is just, for example, a journalist over at ABC, 107 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: Geo Benitez, doing a report on plane air quality. So, Robin, 108 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: the science actually shows that ninety nine point nine percent 109 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: of the particles are filtered out, that includes viruses. Let 110 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: me go ahead and show you how that works right here. 111 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: So the air comes from here above the overhead been 112 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: it wraps around under the seat. It's actually filtered out 113 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: under the seat. And what happens is that it's refreshed 114 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: every three minutes. Half of it is filtered air, half 115 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: of it is new air coming in from the outside. 116 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: And that's why Jet Blue and the other airlines actually 117 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: say that the air here onboard in an airplane while 118 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: it's in flight is actually as clean as a hospital 119 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: rooms are. From an epidemiological standpoint, airplane air is the 120 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: cleanest air in any indoor setting that any human being 121 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: is going to be breathing anytime soon. Unless you're maybe 122 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: you know, doing old Mark. Okay, right, that is where 123 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: But Clay, let's think about this. The last two places 124 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 1: for the mask battle are the two craziest, most anti 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: science ones. They want to mask up children in schools 126 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: who are at the lowest risk and the least likely 127 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: to comply effectively with any kind of a mask mandate. 128 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: And I mean, you know, I've got an adorable little 129 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: almost too, you know, eighteen month old you trying to 130 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: get him to stay in one place for uk thirty 131 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: seconds is impossible. Trying to mask him up in six 132 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: months would be completely insane. And then on planes, so 133 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: the people at least risk are the most there's the 134 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: most the most dead end or attitude about asking them, 135 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: and the place of the least risk is where the 136 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: lives of the most dead end about masking. They're completely insane. 137 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: That was fantastic. I mean, that's actually interesting information that 138 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: should be spread widely. We've talked about this for a 139 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: long time and it's why the airline CEOs themselves, as 140 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: well as a substantial majority of flight attendants and pilots 141 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: are all opposed to this continuing. So that battle has continued. 142 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,119 Speaker 1: We got some wins buck the Mask band Aid dying. 143 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: Thanks to that great decision from the Florida judge, We've 144 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: got CNN plus shutting down Elon Musk, furthering his battle 145 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: to win control of Twitter. Unfortunately, we still have Joe 146 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: Biden as resident And I wanted to play this cut 147 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: for you because titled forty two is scheduled to end 148 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: on May the twenty third. We have been talking about 149 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: this for several weeks. On this program that's going to 150 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: lead to the southern border opening up, people being able 151 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: to flood across at a level that has never been 152 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: seen before in American history. This is a big topic 153 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: of discussion. Joe Biden was asked about this at a 154 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: press conference earlier today, and I want you to listen. 155 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: He answers as if he has been asked about the 156 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: mask mandate. This is not a man who was doing 157 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: very well in terms of his physical health from just 158 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: a dementia perspective. Listen to this and tell me whether 159 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: this is the person who should be leading the free world. 160 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: Play cut four. You know what I'm considering is continuing 161 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: to hear from my First of all, there's going to 162 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: be an appeal by the Justice Department, because as a 163 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: matter of principle, we want to be able to be 164 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: in a position where if, in fact, it is strongly 165 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: concluded by the scientists that we need Title forty two, 166 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: that we'd be able to do that, but there has 167 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: been no decision on extending Title forty two. He's confused. 168 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: So he got totally confused there. The White House, as 169 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: they always end up doing, had to issue a point 170 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: of clarification. They said, I want to clarify this is 171 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden theoretically speaking. I want to clarify that in 172 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: comments at the conclusion of my remarks this morning, I 173 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: was referring to the CDC's mask mandate, and there is 174 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: no Department of Justice action on Title forty two. So 175 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: buck Title forty two is not some unexpected question that 176 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was going to get at the press conference. 177 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: This is something that has been among the most widely 178 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: discussed storylines in all of political talk for the past 179 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: several weeks. The fact that he got that confused with 180 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: the mask mandate is just evidence of how out to 181 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: lunch he really is in terms of being able to 182 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: manage on a day to day basis. I honestly, you know, 183 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm mad at the people who keep propping this up. 184 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: I'm mad at the people who keep saying the Emperor 185 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: has clothes on when we when we know because you 186 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: know Joe Biden, yeah, you know, he should also have 187 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: known better. He should have. But the guy who he 188 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: is is this the guy who runs for office, says 189 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: what he has to say, gives the same speech, gives 190 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: the same canned, kind of sleazy, cheesy politician lines all 191 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: the time. You know, I was always talking about the 192 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: folks and no joke and the whole thing. But Clay, 193 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he's deteriorating and it's obvious and we all 194 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: see it. And I get angry at the people that 195 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to sit here and have to point 196 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: this out. But he's the president, right, So if Joe 197 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: Biden were, you know, the manager of a local home depot, um, 198 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: I'd be saying, well, maybe he's not so good at 199 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: the job. But you know, let's let's be this is 200 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: We're not going to criticize how depot wouldn't allow him 201 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: to run. Would depot absolutely it would not be good 202 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: at the job. But I'm just saying, you know, you'd 203 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: you'd want you wouldn't want to point this out or 204 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: make a thing of it. You want to be this 205 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: guy has the nuclear codes. Everybody. I mean this actually, 206 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: And they said this about Trump all the time, and 207 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: they talked about the twenty fifth Amendment and removing them 208 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: from office. It was like there were whole news cycles 209 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: remember this. They would bring on you know, uh, doctor 210 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: von leftwing and he would go on TV and say, oh, 211 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: I've been I've seen Trump and he clearly needs to 212 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: be removed. He's clearly not of sound mind. The twenty 213 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: fifth Amendment needs to come into play. They would do 214 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: this for based on nothing, I mean based on Trump, 215 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: like making a joke. They didn't like Joe Biden actually 216 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: forgets things in real time, stammers, stutters and looks like 217 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't know where he is and you just see 218 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: him physically. He's too old for this, and they just 219 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: they just play they're gonna run him again, and this 220 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: is why we have to They're gonna run this guy again. 221 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: They're so shameless. They had to issue a statement. This 222 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: is not because some people say, well that's what politicians do. 223 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: They answer the question they wish they had been asked 224 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: instead of the one that they were no, that's not this. 225 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: Biden was confused. He might have thought Title forty two. 226 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: Clearly he did referred to the mask mandate, which is 227 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 1: a glaring red flag because everybody knows that has been 228 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: paying any attention to major politics for weeks or months 229 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: now about the significance of Title forty two. This wasn't 230 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: some gotcha question that kind of came out of nowhere. 231 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: This is this is alarming and to your point, Buck, 232 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: I legitimately don't believe that Joe Biden could run a McDonald's. 233 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that he could certainly run a home depot. 234 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: He couldn't be in charge of your local Kroger. He 235 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: certainly couldn't be in charge of a gas station. I 236 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: really believe this. I don't think he could manage a 237 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: gas station right now, and we're supposed to have him 238 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: running the entire country. I mean, think about that. Do 239 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: you would you if you owned a gas station, would 240 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 1: you hire Joe Biden to be the manager of your 241 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: gas station. There's a zero percent chance that Joe Biden 242 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: gets anybody's gas station in this count. The Democrats are 243 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: effectively going to be asking people after seeing at that 244 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: point four years of what is now so obvious to 245 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: vote for an empty vessel that is a brand, just 246 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: a vote Biden. So the Democrat people that have their 247 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: jobs and you know in the various federal agencies and 248 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 1: the people that you are at the at the CDC 249 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: and are you're just voting to keep all of them 250 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: in place. You're not actually voting for a leader of 251 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: the free world because he can't lead. That's what we're 252 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: actually faced with right now, and it's happening every day. 253 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: It's getting worse. We're going to have more and more 254 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: of these episodes in public. God knows how many there 255 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: are in private that don't see the light of day. 256 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: This guy's not there, He is not there, He isn't 257 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: functioning at a high capacity level. We wouldn't let him 258 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: run a gas station, and he's running, theoretically the president 259 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: of the United States running the free World's crazy.

That's 298 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: not even true because the study from Spain came out 299 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: in the last week or so showing that five year 300 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: olds who are not masked against six year olds who 301 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: are masked the whole year had almost identical cases of 302 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: COVID and secondary spreads.

Friends, Today we 304 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: got a lot of things talk about talking about crime 305 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: probably here coming up in a moment, as well as 306 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: Jensaki and they fight for educating children and what's being 307 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: taught to them. But clad just want to note for 308 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: everybody that we have actually run trials. Now, we have 309 00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: run real studies, control studies, control group studies. That's masks 310 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: don't work. And Faucci that they just ignore this, They 311 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: just ignore it. They pretend we have even more data, 312 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: a lot more data. The reason you don't hear about 313 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: the data, folks, is because it all goes against them. 314 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 1: It's exactly right, and it's why it's so infuriating, and why, 315 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: my if you just wore a hat, you would kill 316 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: Alzheimer's disease forever.

If we 318 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: question the decision, it is superstition, folks. America has been 319 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: described as a melting pot, a place in which people 320 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: have different cultures live and work side by side, enjoying 321 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: the freedoms that this country provides. It's the freedoms and 322 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: opportunities of this nation that have attracted such a diverse population. 323 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: Being a citizen here is a point of pride.

We've also 339 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: not lost three hundred million dollars in the space of 340 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: twenty one days. But we are going to continue to 341 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: bring all of the fights and the battles that are 342 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: taking place in matter in the world today. And this 343 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 1: just happened and is going to turn into a big story. 344 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: Florida Republican House lawmakers just approved a new congressional map. 345 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: Remember yesterday the Florida State Senate did this, So there 346 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: will be four new Republican seats in the House based 347 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: on this map. They also, and this is going to 348 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: get a monster amount of attention, they also have stripped 349 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: Disney of its special powers and they ended Disney's big 350 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: tech exemption. On now, to the Governor's desk, Ronda Santis 351 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: will be signing this. Let's talk about each of these 352 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: and why they are significant. First, Buck, let's talk about 353 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: the congressional map. We talked yesterday. Ryan Gerduski was fantastic. 354 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: Encourage you to go listen to the podcast of him 355 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: breaking all this down. But effectively, Florida has added four 356 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: Republican seats, which will count out the additions that New York, 357 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: Illinois and cancel out I should say California have tried 358 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: to do to add seats to the Democratic tally. So, 359 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: assuming that this is upheld by the courts and all 360 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: these battles, a lot of these redistricting battles end up 361 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: in the courts, four more seats to Republicans, and putting 362 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: that in context, we are five seats from a Republican 363 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: controlled House. From Kevin McCarthy taking back the gabble from 364 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi. So Florida by itself is almost flipping that. Obviously, 365 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: other states are making their own moves, but this is 366 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: big number one for the larger national political landscape. It's 367 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: one of the few times I can think of where 368 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: a Republican politician anywhere has done something other than just 369 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: talk a big game about pushing back on woke corporations. 370 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: Woke corporations understand this, everybody. We're really the vanguard of 371 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: both BLM propaganda and of COVID lockdowns over the last 372 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: two years. And woke corporations, Yes, they're trying to indoctrinate 373 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: your kids and trans ideology and all this stuff that's 374 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: going on. They support all that clearly Disney does, but 375 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: they have been used and really in concert with the 376 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: White House. I mean, let's understand the White House openly. 377 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: It says we're telling Facebook to get rid of more 378 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: disinformation online because that's more that's more powerful than any 379 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: other platform of information dissemination out there. The White House 380 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: is straight up using these these corporations. The Democrat Party 381 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: is using companies as political weapons. So we can either 382 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: sit there and say, well, we would like a neutral 383 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: space where commerce and capitalism, or we can say, you 384 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: know what, they're going to be consequences for this too. 385 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: You can go back. I've talked to people about you know, 386 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: in the ad industry about this for many, many years, 387 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: I'll say, and this is before things got quite so woke. 388 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember I have a conversation with somebody 389 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: to big ad agency years ago said, you know, the 390 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: difference in the left and the right is the left 391 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: doesn't even have to boycott. They just do enough that 392 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: the companies are always looking over their shoulder, always concerned 393 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: about the possibility of when was the last time the 394 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 1: left really organized a boycott against a conservative company. They'll 395 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 1: do it, but generally speaking, it's just the threat of 396 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: that's enough to get companies to try to preempt think 397 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: about how tilted the battlefield is in their favor and 398 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: that circumstance. Now with Disney, we're seeing real action take 399 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: it in Clay. If Disney doesn't like it, they can 400 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: just build their own floor. Yeah, I saw you tweet 401 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: that out. And so that's the second part of this. 402 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: This is really significant, and certainly social media has made 403 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: that worse because Buck I've been there. You've been there, 404 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: but a lot of companies haven't. When suddenly you have 405 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: five hundred or a thousand people angry and tweeting at you, 406 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: it feels like everybody in the world the first time 407 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: you go through this cares about whatever your issue is. 408 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: When the reality is, for twenty four hours, people are 409 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: going to get fire it up. There's going to be 410 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: a tempest, and then that tempest almost always passes. What 411 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: DeSantis has done here to Disney is let it be 412 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: known that there are consequences for left wing, woke Disney politics, 413 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: and the consequences are going to be pretty significant. And 414 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: the reality is, despite what Governor Jared Paulas might be 415 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: trying to say in Colorado, which got some attention, oh 416 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: why don't you just move here? Yeah, are they going 417 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: to pick up Disney World and relocate it from Orlando 418 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: and all of the hotels and put it in Colorado, which, 419 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: by the way, has awful weather where nobody is gonna 420 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: want to be outside. Even if they could relocate Disney, 421 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: I don't think they would be picking Colorado. But they can't. 422 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: They can't relocate Disney World. They've got all this land, 423 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: they've built all the hotels. Disney needs Florida at this 424 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: point more than Florida needs Disney. And so what they 425 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: have done is when Disney bought all this land back 426 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty nine, basically the state of Florida said, hey, 427 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: you get to be judge, jury and executioner over all 428 00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: of the decisions that are going to be made with 429 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: these tens of thousands of acres. You want to build 430 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: a new lake when it comes to developed. This isn't 431 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: like you, they don't get to put somebody in prison. 432 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: But but in terms of the in terms of the 433 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: master plan, you want to build a new hotel. Good, 434 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: You want to build a new lake to to have 435 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: right in the center of Epcot. Good, you can do that. 436 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: The what reportedly buck this. They also get tax abatements 437 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 1: and all sorts of benefits from this. It's hard to 438 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: know the exact dollar value of this, but there's a 439 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: story in the Wall Street Journal, I believe, saying it's 440 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: worth tens of millions of dollars a year. Disney doesn't 441 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: like to talk about it because of the benefits that 442 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: they're getting. And now that's gone as soon as rohnd 443 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: to Santa Strokes his pen. When this bill gets to 444 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: him right there with the House and the Senate bill 445 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: that they have passed. When he signs this, boom, this disappears. 446 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: And so this is a different level of battle. And 447 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: the ultimate calling card on this, the referendum on it, 448 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: is going to be what happens in this election in November, 449 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: because if DeSantis wins by seven or eight points, and 450 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: I think he probably is going to win by seven 451 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: or eight points, that's going to be seen as a 452 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: seismic shot, shockwave in what was considered to be such 453 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: a battleground state just a few years ago. I just 454 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: also have to ask why there aren't more Republican governors. 455 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: I pose this question earlier on in the week. Who 456 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: see what's going on in Florida? Who see Look, let's 457 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: be honest, there've been articles written about this people and 458 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: saying leadership of the Republican Party right now, or I 459 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: should say, the sense of the Republican leadership's base of 460 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: power has moved a bit from Texas, which has been 461 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 1: the stalwart red state that people felt like they could 462 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: go to for freedom, to Florida over the course of 463 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: the pandemic. Now Texas is still great and there's still 464 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 1: a lot of obviously, you know, fantastic stuff going on 465 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: there as a state, even with Governor Abbott in charge. 466 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: But you have to wonder, why aren't more of them 467 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: seeing what's going on and following here. Yeah, because it's 468 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: not like Rhonda said, you know, think about what could 469 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 1: have happened. He could have gone against the consensus on COVID, 470 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 1: and he could have picked some of these battles and 471 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: been politically destroyed over them. But he could have if 472 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: if they had a much higher percentage of not just 473 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: COVID cases but COVID fatalities per capita than comparable states, 474 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: if they had had you know, economic ruination, because they 475 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't go along with the wokeness if you know, eighty 476 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: percent of Floridians or whatever had had disapproved of the 477 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: parental rights bill. He keeps taking risks, he he keeps 478 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: throwing it out there and hitting home runs. And you 479 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: wonder why aren't these other Republicans Some of them probably 480 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: listen to the show, or at least their staffs do, 481 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,719 Speaker 1: following its footsteps. Corporate money for their campaigns. I mean, 482 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: I really don't know. Are they just I think they 483 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: don't think the stomach for the fight. Yeah, they don't 484 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: have to stake. That's what it is, because it's hard 485 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: buck Initially, the natural reaction among I think Republican politicians 486 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: is when the mainstream media comes for you, you curl 487 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: up in the fetal position and hope they leave. And 488 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: what de Santis is natural instincts, and I think this 489 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: is Trumpian in nature. And that's where I think the 490 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,719 Speaker 1: most lasting legacy of Trump may well be is so 491 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: many Republican politicians were terrified when the New York Times 492 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: or CNN or the Washington Post or MSNBC came for them, 493 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: and they would beg for forgiveness and or run from 494 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: whatever policy was getting a lot of attention. What Trump 495 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: did was say no, I'm gonna own it. And DeSantis 496 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: is I believe a particularly politically a draw and skilled 497 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: individual who has, along with his staff, correctly diagnosed that 498 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: most of the outrage that exists in this country is 499 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: not representative of the masses.

Right just a few minutes 538 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: after we finished the show, I talk about a lot 539 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: of sports related issues and and things that kind of intersect. Yeah, 540 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: but for twenty five minutes or so right after, maybe 541 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: I see it and learn a little bit about the sports. 542 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm just saying I'm dropping some knowledge. Hanging out 543 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: with people of normally for the year for years, They're like, 544 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: what's this with you and your beloved Villanova Wildcats? Yeah, 545 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: your coach, retired coach, did you see that? No? Actually 546 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: bringing it up. Now, I'll bring this up, and I'll 547 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: see him like a normal cool person who drinks Jay Rights, 548 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: the most successful successful coaches of his generation hanging it 549 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: up at sixty, so relatively young for a basketball coach 550 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: to decide. He's won a couple of championships, been to 551 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: several final fours, and and uh, yeah, your boy, you 552 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: bet on him to win the NC Double a tournament 553 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: he didn't, and he couldn't handle disappointing you, and he's 554 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: just riding off into the sunset. He knew. I gave 555 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: the coach a shot, you know, I gave him a 556 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: shot of my first my first tournament pick. People are 557 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 1: recognizing that not only is Joe Biden batted his job, 558 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: which we have to point out here because it's the president, 559 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: and you're noticing everything is getting more expensive, more dysfunctional, 560 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: and the lies don't even make sense anymore. But beyond that, 561 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: the leadership of major American cities, and I can speak 562 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: to that from personal experience here in New York City. 563 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: But how's the mayor of Nashville, by the way, Not good? 564 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: Not good? Okay, fair enough. I had a feeling. But 565 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: the mayors of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, 566 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, just go down a list of major American 567 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: cities that come to mind here gives their mayor. That's 568 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: a good question out there, right, Mayor Suarez in Miami. 569 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: I will say a lot, including conservatives I know actually 570 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: are pretty pro Suarez. But anyway, the mayor of Chicago 571 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: has had a really rough, a really rough go in 572 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: the job. Right. It's not it's not been go. Lorie 573 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 1: Lightfoot has had it's not been a good tenure in 574 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: in this position, so much so that you just had 575 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: some random journal I mean, I can know this guy 576 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: is ask hey, since you're so bad at your job, 577 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: you're not running for reelection, right, playlib one, Mayor Lightfoot. 578 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: Every time you have a press conference, you say crime 579 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: is down, the economy is booming. Well that's not that's 580 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 1: not true. But get your question, sir. Across the street, 581 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: we had a police officer on duty the victim of 582 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: a hit and run. We have Michigan Avenue, the magnificent miles, 583 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: now referred to as the Mile of Fear. Real Chicago 584 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 1: WANs are asking me, how could you possibly even consider 585 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: running for re election as mayor of the Chicago after 586 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 1: all the harm you've caused. Well, I disagree with you fundamentally, 587 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: and I don't think I need to address any and 588 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: dignify your comments. One second, Can I just say, first 589 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: of all, she's clearly rattled. Yeah, because I can say 590 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: from the New York City, like municipal cover, city Hall 591 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: press corps, you come at the mayor with something like this, 592 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 1: you know you find yourself getting the cold shoulder from 593 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: all the administrators and bureaucrats everywhereund I mean, Clay, he's 594 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: just saying what's obvious. What you are so bad at 595 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: your job, how could you possibly think you should run 596 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: for reelection. I hope Joe Biden's listening. Yeah. By the way, 597 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: I also think that's one hundred percent a fair question. 598 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm thinking about it from the context of 599 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: let's let's take it outside of and I understand. I 600 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: think you're right that many times people pull their punches 601 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: when they cover politicians because they're worried about whether their 602 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: officials are going to continue to speak to them. But 603 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: when you have a bad coach, the coach gets questioned 604 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: all the time about why he deserves to keep his job. 605 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: And that's basically what Lori Lightfoot is right. I mean, 606 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: she is, in theory, the coach of Chicago. Right. When 607 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: you're the mayor, you're supposed to build up the city 608 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: into something better than it was, just like you're the 609 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: coach of a team. And so I think that's one 610 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 1: hundred percent a question that's well within bounds. I would 611 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: think a huge number of people in Chicago would want 612 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: the mayor to have to answer the question, given how 613 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: poorly you've done, why do you deserve reelection? That's the 614 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: very essence of the question she would have to answer 615 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: to get reelected. I think in a lot of ways 616 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: in general, national level politicians, people identify with based upon 617 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: values and narrative and the storyline. Right, you know, you 618 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: know the president or even you know the senator from 619 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,879 Speaker 1: your state. When you get down to that local level, 620 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 1: if you live in a city or a town, the mayor, 621 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: it really should just be all about results, right, because yeah, 622 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: it is the trash being picked up, are your streets safe? 623 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: Are they clean? And is everything functioning? You know, are 624 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: are the traffic lights working? Are they getting fixed? Or 625 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: the potholes being filled? And you know, that's why Mayor Bloomberg, 626 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: for example, in New York, guys, guy's an anti gun 627 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: lib I disagree with on some things. Very competent, was 628 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: a very solid mayor of New York City. I know 629 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: people don't like that from when he ran for president. 630 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: I'm just saying he was a good mayor for the 631 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 1: city of New York, which is obviously a Democrat enclave. 632 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: Lorie Lightfoot is just not good at the job. And 633 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 1: this is what it's. Just not good at this Actually 634 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 1: atrocious at her job would be a way to describe it. 635 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: And that's the essence of what media should do, in 636 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: my opinion, speak truth to power. You've done a really 637 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,959 Speaker 1: bad job. Why do you deserve an opportunity to run again? 638 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: Its results when you're when your town council, when you're 639 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: when you're the mayor of your city, and really the 640 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: governor of your state too these days. But when they 641 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: are bad at their jobs, you feel it and you 642 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 1: see it and you know it. And major cities with 643 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: Democrat leadership all across the country just a mess, really 644 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: kind of a sad laughing stock. Well, I mean, this 645 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: is how we got Giuliani and Bloomberg in New York City, Right, 646 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats had so failed for so long that people 647 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: finally threw up their hands and said, we got to 648 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: try something different. I'm curious whether that might start to 649 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,760 Speaker 1: become a prevailing narrative at many different big cities across 650 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 1: the country where they're all failing up. Next, Doctor Nicole 651 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 1: Sapphire breaking down everything with COVID with us here on 652 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: claim Buck Sleet, Travis, and Buck Sexton on the front 653 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: lines of
