1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Oh, welcome back in. That's the final hour of the week.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Fourteen hours up. This is our number fifteen. We'll take

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: some of your reactions, we'll take some of your calls.

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: We'll have some fun as we take you into the weekend.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Buck is in Taiwan interviewed the President of Taiwan there.

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: He will be back with you on Monday. I'll be

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: back again on Thursday. It is fall break season for

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: the kids, and this is one of the great things

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: that they have created that did not exist when I

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: was in school. Everybody at spring break. Fall break was

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: not a thing. Now they have created fall break, and

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: I've got to be honest with you, traveling in October

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: does not suck. So but my boys as is unfortunately

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: off in the case for those of you who have

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: kids at multiple schools, different fall breaks. So we've got

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: the oldest for a few days coming up, and then

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: we'll sorry the youngest, and then we'll have the oldest

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 1: for the next week. So I'll be out a few

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: days just hanging out with my family. I mentioned the

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: other day, I encourage all of you to do the same.

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking around and realizing my boys are growing up

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: really fast and I've tried to do as many different

23
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: events with them as I can, but I'm going to

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: have a kid in college this fall. We're going through

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: the college application process right now, and I want to

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: travel and do as many fun things with them before

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: they all start running off into their own lives and

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: becoming adults. And so we're going to be doing some

29
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: of that. So maybe out occasionally, but we will both

30
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: Buck or I will basically be in as we always

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: have for I think years and years to come, and

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: we'll most of the time be together. But Buck, we'll

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: be back on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I'll be back with

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: him on Thursday. And just giving you a little bit

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: of an idea of where we're headed, I mentioned I

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: don't think I've mentioned this on the show, but this

37
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: idea of not holding criminals responsible for what they do

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: is not just a United States issue. It's an issue

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: for all of Western civilization. Don't how many of you

40
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: paid attention or have followed. We haven't really talked about

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: it on the program. There was a Manchester, England, terror attack.

42
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: A couple of innocent Jewish people on the way to

43
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: their local synagogue were murdered in cold blood by a

44
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: anti Israel, anti Jewish activist, and news came out this

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: morning as I was doing my prep that's Manchester, England,

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: that the guy who killed them both was out on

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: bail for a rape charge. Now, we played the cut yesterday.

48
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: I believe it was of the dad, Stephen Federico, I

49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: believe was his name, talking about his daughter Logan and

50
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: the fact that she had been stabbed to death by

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: a guy who had been arrested and charged with twenty

52
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: nine different felonies prior to killing his daughter, and how

53
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: many times did he need to be arrested in order

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: for him not to be out on the streets. This

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: idea that we have to be kinder to criminals is embedded,

56
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: unfortunately in left wing thought across the entire country. And

57
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: during this past commercial break, as we finished the hour,

58
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: I was scrolling through making sure that I'm on top

59
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: of all the news, as we're constantly doing, and as

60
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: if you watch video, you'll see me always on the

61
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: phone making sure, hey, we've got all the facts right,

62
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: that we're on top of whatever the news may be.

63
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: And Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, I've sent this in to

64
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: producer Greg but he says, when a man does six

65
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: or seven crimes, we don't know his life story. Maybe

66
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: he was hungry. Therefore I have zero desire to jail him.

67
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: This is what toxic sympathy leads to. And it's not

68
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: a coincidence that the bluest of the blue cities, places

69
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: like Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, they refuse to actually hold

70
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: criminal elements accountable and as a result, the criminal elements

71
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: continue to reign to rule, to dominate the culture of

72
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: their cities. And this is a part of what trying

73
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: to be too empathetic leads to. Sometimes you just have

74
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: to say, now we're gonna lock bad guys up and

75
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: throw away the key, and that shouldn't be remotely controversial.

76
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: And if you break the law, we're going to go

77
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: out and we're going to arrest you. And I talked

78
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: to start the show about Ryan Gardusky, our friend, part

79
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: of the Clay and Buck podcast network. The podcast is

80
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: continuing to explode. The network is doing fantastically well. That's

81
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: because of all of you. Producer Ali does great work.

82
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: If you're busy and you want a distilled version of

83
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: the show for the weekend, for travel, or just because

84
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: you're doing yard work and you want something to listen to.

85
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: She is doing a great job of collating some of

86
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: the fifteen hours and synthesizing it and connecting everything there.

87
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: But I said, if you look at Ryan Gardusky's reports

88
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: that are out there, places that are left wing are

89
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: having fewer and fewer children. He said, sixty point five

90
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: percent of the kids being born so far in America

91
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: are red states, that is states that Donald Trump won.

92
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: And he said all of the top counties for most

93
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: kids being born on a per capita basis have been

94
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: won by Donald Trump. And that is I think a

95
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: direct result of the Democrat Party having no vision, and

96
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: to the extent that it does have a vision, it's

97
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: an apocalyptic one. It is one where the climate devours

98
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: the nation. It's one where the climate devours the world.

99
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: It's one where everything is getting worse. And it would

100
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: be irresponsible of you, as a result, to bring life

101
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: into a world that is filled with darkness. Now, as

102
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: someone with three kids, and I know many of you

103
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: out there with kids and grandkids, the entire purpose of life,

104
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is to bring light to darkness. And

105
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: I can't think of a better way to bring light

106
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: to darkness than to raise children to be the shining

107
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: lights combating the darkness, to rise up against evil and

108
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: bring good. And I do think we are in a

109
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: profoundly good versus evil struggle for the moral soul of

110
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: the nation right now. I don't think that's hyperbolic, but

111
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: ultimately winning requires optimism, because if you believe that the

112
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: future is despotic and authoritarian and filled with with no freedom,

113
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: that's the future you're going to create. And honestly, it's

114
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: the future being advocated for by a huge position, huge

115
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: percentages of the Democrat Party. And a big part of

116
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: this is just I don't think that Bernie Sanders is right.

117
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: I think he's wrong on virtually every major issue. But

118
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: I respect the fact that he's out advocating for his

119
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: positions and he's actually somewhat consistent. He's wrong, but he's

120
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: wrong and at least consistent so far as I can

121
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: tell in the positions that he adopts. I respect that

122
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: he is in some way principled, a principled man of

123
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: the left. And I think this is why. If you

124
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: guys remember in twenty sixteen in New Hampshire, when Donald

125
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: Trump was running and trying to become the nominee for

126
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: the Republicans, and Bernie was running and trying to become

127
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: the nominee for the Democrats, and may well have become

128
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: the nominee but for the fact that Hillary rigged the

129
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: DNC in her favor. A lot of people out there

130
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: voting in the primaries were trying to decide, Hey, am

131
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: I a Bernie guy or a Trump guy? And many

132
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: people were trying to decide between the two because there

133
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: was a principle underlying what they were speaking to in

134
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, which was America is not addressing the concerns

135
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: of huge majorities of the United States population, and I

136
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: think Bernie is addressing it in the wrong way. I

137
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: think the fight the oligarchy tour actually makes it more

138
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: likely that more people are in positions of poverty than

139
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: would be if we embrace capitalism and allow the full

140
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: growth and flourishment of capitalism in this country to lead

141
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: us to a higher standard of living across the board. Yes,

142
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: rich people are going to be rich. Rich people have

143
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: always been rich. What matters is is the floor being lifted,

144
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: is everybody having a higher quality of life? That, to

145
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: me is what capitalism offers. But there's a consistency of

146
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: argument at least even if I disagree with the principles

147
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: of Bernie Sanders. It's actually rare. In fact, I wanted

148
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: to play this for you, becare, because I think it

149
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: is emblematic of the deep lies that we are told

150
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: in why Frankly Gallup found this week that trust in

151
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: media has hit an all time low of twenty eight percent.

152
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: It's because of people like this. Okay, this is I

153
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: don't even know this chick, Representative Madeline Dean. It's a

154
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: Democrat from Pennsylvania. On July eighth, twenty twenty four, after

155
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: the first presidential debate of June twenty seventh, when Joe

156
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: Biden last year, a little bit over a year ago,

157
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: when Joe Biden fell flat on his face and anyone

158
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: with a functional brain could look at this and say

159
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: that guy is not qualified to be president of the

160
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: United States. She said on uh was it CNN? Tell

161
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: me where she was? She said Biden was well spirited

162
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: and just fine. This is Representative Madelin Dean, Democrat of Pennsylvania.

163
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: Last year, after Joe Biden fell flat on his face

164
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: and the worst debate performance of any president in any

165
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: of our lives. This is what she went on the

166
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: air and and said, cut too.

167
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: I think you know, I traveled with the President yesterday

168
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania to a fantastic church in Mount Airy with

169
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: a service that lifted us all right out of our seats.

170
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: And the President was well spirited. He worked from a notebook.

171
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: I know, the teleprompter argument goes on. He worked nicely

172
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: from a notebook. We also were together in front of

173
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: folks who were organizers on the campaign side and labor

174
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: where the President spoke without any notes, and he was terrific.

175
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: He was just.

176
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: Fine, terrific Joe Biden, July twenty twenty four, just fine, terrific,

177
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: well spirited, didn't need any notes, he was a teleprompter.

178
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: He was terrific. That is July twenty twenty four, Madeline,

179
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: Madeline Dean on Joe Biden. Here is Madelin Dean last

180
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: night on CNN. She says Trump is She's sorry, she

181
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: says Trump is aging and in the grips of cognitive decline,

182
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: cut one doesn't an unwell again, what do you mean

183
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: by that?

184
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: Well, he's aging, aren't we all? I think we can

185
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 3: very much notice that he's a different man. Than he

186
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: was in his first term. He's slower, he's a little more.

187
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: Lethargic, he's in the midst of cognitive decline. So this

188
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: is where I say, Hey, if she had called out

189
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, and she had said, hey, here's the deal,

190
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody over the age of seventy should

191
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: be president of the United States, Democrat, Republican or independent.

192
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: And if she had called out Joe Biden, and then

193
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: she came back and she said, hey, Trump's aging, he's

194
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: slowing down. He shouldn't be in office either, then she

195
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: would at least be consistent on her argument. She argued

196
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden, who clearly was in the midst of

197
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: cognitive decline and was not physically capable of the United

198
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: States presidency, was terrific and doing an incredible job. And

199
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: now she is arguing that Trump is too old and

200
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: in the midst of cognitive a client and can't do

201
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: the job. How can you trust her on anything? We

202
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: talked about that question yesterday. Who do you trust in media?

203
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 4: Not?

204
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: Who do you agree with? Because sometimes I probably more

205
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: oft than me, and sometimes Buck will say things on

206
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: this program and he might you might hear it and

207
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: you say I disagree completely. You guys are wrong on

208
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: that issue. Clay, you're wrong, Buck, You're wrong. So I'm

209
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: not expecting you to agree with me or him or

210
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: any one person all the time. In fact, you shouldn't

211
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: in my opinion, because you should trust, but verify, work

212
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: through things in your own mind. Figure out does it

213
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: make sense? Wait? Is this a good argument? Bad argument?

214
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: Are there supporting facts? Be aggressive in the way that

215
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: you analyze the arguments that I make, the arguments that

216
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: Buck makes, the arguments that anybody out there who's trying

217
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: to argue that you that they deserve your vote, that

218
00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: they make. But you should trust. What I can care

219
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: about more is not whether you agree with me. I

220
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 1: care about whether you trust me, because we're going to

221
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: agree or disagree on a ton of things over the

222
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: course of fifteen hours a week on radio, and over

223
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: the course of days and weeks and months and years

224
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: now together on radio. You're not gonna agree with everything

225
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: I say. Sometimes you're gonna think that I'm crazy. But

226
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: I believe over time you have come to trust me,

227
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: not to always agree with me, but to trust me.

228
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: How many people can you say about that in media?

229
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: How many people can you say about that in politics?

230
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: People who will sometimes say the unpopular thing because it

231
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: is necessary in order to continue to stand on principle.

232
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: There's hardly any of them in politics. And so when

233
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: you hear that side by side, separated by a year.

234
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: Whatever you think about Donald Trump, the guy does rolling

235
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: press conferences all day long, basically every day, answering every

236
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: question under the sun. You might disagree with him, but

237
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: the idea that he's not capable of being president of

238
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: the United States is on its face absurd. And if

239
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: you argued that Joe Biden was terrific, never in the

240
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: rest of your political career, in my opinion, can you

241
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: ever analyze the mental or physical state of any other

242
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: president and be trusted to any degree at all. Because

243
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: I already know you lied to me when you told

244
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: me that Joe Biden was terrific and that he was

245
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: doing just fine as president of the United States, I

246
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: can't trust you any more for the rest of your career.

247
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: And she, unfortunately, is emblematic of many other people who

248
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: made the same arguments. All Right, this weekend, we are

249
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: coming up on nearly the two year anniversary of October seventh,

250
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews said, what

251
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: can we do to honor those twelve hundred people who

252
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: lost their lives and the continued war that is going

253
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: on in Gaza. Hamas seems is going to reject the

254
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: peace plan. Kind of interesting how they keep claiming that

255
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: they're being treated unfairly and they're trying to wipe them off,

256
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: and every time there's a peace plan, Hamas says, no,

257
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: we can't, we can't sign on to that, even though

258
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: it now appears the vast majority of people in Gaza

259
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: want that peace plan to be signed off on. If

260
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: you want to stand with the truth, with justice, with

261
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: the people in the Middle East who would bring peace

262
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: not war, you need to stand with Israel, and the

263
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: Flags of Fellowship is our way of showing support for

264
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: Israel and its people. On the second anniversary of October seven,

265
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: that's today, twelve hundred Israelis lost their life. Two hundred

266
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: and fifty more we're taken hostage. There's still forty eight

267
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: hostages in captivity in Gaza. You can be a part

268
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: of the Flags of Fellowship movement by going to IFCJ

269
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: dot org. That's IFCJ dot org. One more time IFCJ

270
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: dot org. Sometimes all you can do is laugh, and

271
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: they do a lot of it with the Sunday Hang

272
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: Join Clay and Buck as they laugh it.

273
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 5: Up in the Klaan Buck podcast feed on the iHeartRadio

274
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 5: or wherever you get your podcasts.

275
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back in play Travis Buck Sexton Show. I believe

276
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: we have the audio from this is the Seattle Mayor's

277
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: debate last night, and this was the current mayor of

278
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: Seattle talking about the fact that he does not want

279
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: to actually end up putting people in prison. This is

280
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: Bruce Harrell. I read the quotes, but I want you

281
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: to hear them for yourself because I think they tie

282
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: in well with the discussion we've been having about Portland

283
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: and about violent crime running rampant and our tolerance of

284
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: that violent crime nationwide Cut thirty four.

285
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 6: The criminal system has had a disparate impact on black

286
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 6: and brown communities. Let me lead with that. So when

287
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 6: this person's committing six or seven crimes, I didn't know

288
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 6: his or her story. Maybe they were abused as a child,

289
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 6: maybe they're hungry.

290
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: So my.

291
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 6: Remedy is to find their life story to see how

292
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 6: we can help. First, I have no desire to put

293
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 6: them in jail.

294
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what I'm talking about. First of all,

295
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: there's a disparate impact on violent crime arrests because black

296
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: and brown people commit way more violent crimes. So the

297
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: disparity is the rate of violence. And the fact that

298
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: this is just even allowed to occur as an argument

299
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: is patently absurd. This is why you have to go

300
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: look at the murder rates. Okay, who commits murders, Well,

301
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: roughly that data is going to correspond to who gets

302
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: arrested for murder. Murder is the most significant crime that

303
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: can be committed in our criminal justice system. Now, if

304
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: you want to talk about disparities in crime for jaywalking, okay,

305
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: we can have that conversation. But violent crime is where

306
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: the focus needs to be, and the only way to

307
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 1: make people safe is to put violent criminals behind bars.

308
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: And I don't see that as a remotely partisan perspective. Democrat, Republican, independent,

309
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: bad guys, they're overwhelmingly bad guys need to go to jail.

310
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: We don't say that the criminal justice system is systemically

311
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: sexist because men commit way more violent crime than women

312
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: and get arrested way more often. Puretalk cell phone service

Speaker 1: openly about family, politics, values without retribution. If you believe

Speaker 1: that's true, switch your service today from AT and T,

329
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 1: So all right, let's hit you with some positives here

330
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: on the final thirty minutes of the week. The stock

331
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: market is at an all time high, and if you

332
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: have simply held onto your stocks and not done anything

333
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: at all, you have never had more money in the

334
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: stock market than you have right now, So congratulations on that.

335
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: Several other stories that are out there that I believe

336
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: are actually very positive. If you voted for Donald Trump,

337
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: you're having more babies. That is according to Ryan Gerdusky,

338
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: the cracker barrel has fired. I don't think I've mentioned

339
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: this yet. The marketing agency that nearly destroyed the fifty

340
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: year old brand of the stock market there sorry of

341
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: the Cracker Barrel, and led to a huge stock market collapse.

342
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: American Eagle sold out of all of the Sydney Sweeney

343
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: jeans and the Sydney Sweeney coat, and the stock price

344
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: has soared simply because they said, hey, let's put a

345
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: pretty girl in denim instead of an androgynoist dude with

346
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: an almost cursed dude with a penis who is pretending

347
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: to be a chick. And we are in the midst

348
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: of a lockdown that is having almost no impact, and

349
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: many people nationwide are realizing that the Democrats stand for

350
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing that is actually in any way a positive. Now,

351
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: those are all things that are stringing together. I am

352
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: asking you guys to do something for me. I mentioned

353
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: this yesterday. My book is out in exactly one month.

354
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: It's called Balls, a ton of you went and bought

355
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: this yesterday. I'm telling you that I want this book

356
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: to be out there everywhere. I want you to give

357
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: it to your grandson. I want you to give it

358
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: to your granddaughter. I want you to give it to

359
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: your son or daughter because I think they are going

360
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: to respond favorably to many of the arguments that I make,

361
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: because I'm making them from a cultural perspective that they

362
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: will understand. We have to win young people. This is

363
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: the great genius of Charlie Kirk going into college campuses.

364
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: This is something that I think about all the time.

365
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to be on another college campus this weekend.

366
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to be at Florida State. I have for

367
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: the last twenty years basically been on college campuses every

368
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: weekend for big college football games, talking to a lot

369
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: of young people. Some of you listening to me right

370
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: now are now no longer young, because I'm now no

371
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: longer young. But when I started doing this, I was

372
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: very young, twenty five years old. Now I'm forty six.

373
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: You now have raised your own kids. Heck, I'm gonna

374
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: have a kid in college next year as well. I'm

375
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: writing this book to try to influence the next generation.

376
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: I have written books in the past, and I've told

377
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: you about this Dixie Land, Delight on Rocky Top, when

378
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: I didn't have any money, when I had a super

379
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: negative net worth, when I had tons of law school

380
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: loans out there, when I had a big mortgage. I

381
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: have lived. When you're looking around, you're like, man, is

382
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough month, It's gonna be a tough year.

383
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: I've been through it. I'm now in a spot where

384
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: I am not having to struggle financially. That's a credit

385
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: to the fact that the market has responded very well

386
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: to the messages that I put out there, and that's

387
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: a credit to you guys listening every day and how

388
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: the last twenty years is gone. So I am donating

389
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the money that I make from

390
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: this book to charity. And I have decided that based

391
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: on some of the arguments a ton of you sent

392
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: me emails, a lot of that's going to go to

393
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: Turning Point because I think Charlie has done tremendous work

394
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: and I want to give back to the organization that

395
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: he supported and the arguments that I'm making in this

396
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: book he helped to popularize out there going around to

397
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: college kids. We all have to lift up, we all

398
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: have to make arguments better. I want this book in

399
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: the front of bookstores. You wonder how do you change

400
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: hearts and minds? Sometimes you have to find people when

401
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: they're not looking for you. The argument that I made

402
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,239
Speaker 1: that I talked about was the older I get, the

403
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: more I see it. My grandparents, Richard K. Fox and

404
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: Ruth Fox, eight Trenton Street, Red Bank, Tennessee, just outside

405
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: a check Nuga house is still there near the Bojangles

406
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: near the Red Bank High School. Super specific could be

407
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: any community out there in America because there's lots of

408
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: people doing what they did. My grandfather worked combustion engineering,

409
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: worked in a factory much of his life. My grandmother

410
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: was a school teacher in Georgia. She drove into Georgia

411
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: because they paid a little bit better than Tennessee. Grandfather

412
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: played football at the University of Tennessee. Wouldn't buy gas

413
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: in the state of Georgia because there were too many

414
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: Georgia Bulldog fans and he didn't want to support him.

415
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: This is where I come from. They retired and spent

416
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: the rest of their life ministering to people in prison

417
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: and trying to get them to become Christians. They didn't

418
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: go and preach to the choir. There's nothing wrong with

419
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: preaching to the choir. But the reason that phrase exists

420
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: is it's easy to convince people who already agree with

421
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: you that they should agree with you. That's not how

422
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: you win, and there's a role for that. I'm not

423
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: disparaging the importance of preaching to the choir. You can

424
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: make the diehards more die hard. You can deliver for

425
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: the diehards, as many of you out there that are

426
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: part of congregations have seen ministers, preachers, priests do for generations.

427
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: It's not how you win. I think about winning all

428
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: the time, way too much. The only way you win

429
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: is by convincing people that you've got the best arguments,

430
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: and that means I was talking about earlier. That means

431
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: you have to find zoron Mondami is doing it. Guys.

432
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 1: He bought a freaking ad during the Bachelor and stands

433
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: there with a rose. Every one of his arguments is wrong,

434
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: but he's going to where people are and convincing him

435
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: that he has the answer for them, and a lot

436
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: of people are responding. We have to take the fight

437
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: to people who don't even understand that we're in a battle.

438
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: Yet we have to win hearts and minds. That's how

439
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: you convert people. And Donald Trump I think the math is.

440
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: I write about this a lot in the book. Got

441
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: sixty four million votes roughly the first time he ran

442
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: for president in twenty sixteen. He just got over seventy

443
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: seven million in twenty twenty four. How'd that happen? Some

444
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: of you God bless you Trump people sixteen twenty twenty four.

445
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: That's great, But that means at a minimum thirteen million

446
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: people who weren't willing to vote Trump in twenty sixteen

447
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: showed up and voted Trump in twenty twenty four. Probably

448
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: more than that, because the reality is a decent number

449
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: of the sixty four million that voted Trump in twenty sixteen,

450
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: they weren't with us by twenty twenty four. So probably

451
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: twenty million new voters showed up and somehow pushed that button,

452
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: wrote down that name, pulled that lever for Donald Trump.

453
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: How did that happen? People of the rightness of the

454
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 1: arguments going to people who are not already in the

455
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: congregation and saying, hey, it's the right choice for you.

456
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: How do you get a majority of Hispanic men? How

457
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: do you get twenty one percent of Black men? How

458
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: does Asian support skyrocket? You know, the only group Kamala

459
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: Harris did better with in twenty twenty four than she

460
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: did twenty twenty White women. This book, I'd like to

461
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: think a lot of young white women are going to

462
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: read and they're going to say, you know what, these

463
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: are good arguments. I'm asking you to help me get

464
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: this book out to as many people as can possibly

465
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: see it. And I'm donating all the proceeds. Arguments I

466
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: make here I think are really important. I'm not trying

467
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: to make money off this. In fact, I'm going to

468
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: donate all the money that I make to a variety

469
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,239
Speaker 1: of worthy charitable causes. Right now. Books a Million they

470
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: heard me talking about this yesterday. They said, hey, we're

471
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: going to give you a thirty percent discount if you

472
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: go on the Books a Million website and you use

473
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: the code Travis, it's nine dollars off. The thing's twenty bucks.

474
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: If you've got somebody in your life that maybe you

475
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: think could be influenced. Maybe they're a reader, they're not

476
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: a video watcher, Maybe they're a thinker. And they're open

477
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: to persuasion. I'm asking you to get this book in

478
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: their hands, and I want people to see this if

479
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: they're walking through an airport. That's why the cover has

480
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: two big balls on it, because a lot of people

481
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: do judge a book by its cover, and the first

482
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: thing you have to do is sometimes punch them in

483
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: the mouth and make them think, wait a minute, is

484
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: he really saying that. Yeah, Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.

485
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: The Republican Party has balls, Democrats don't. It's a metaphor

486
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: somewhat figuratively accurate if you've watched Tim Wallas walk around

487
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: with spirit fingers. But I think I can cut through

488
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: the noise and convince a lot of people of the

489
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: importance of being engaged. And we all have to do

490
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: more in the way of what happened to Charlie, and

491
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: so to do as much as it can possibly take.

492
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: And I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is.

493
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: Certainly I've been willing to put my time down. I

494
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: write the whole book. I don't have ghostwriters sitting there

495
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: in front of my laptop by myself after I finish the show.

496
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: Every day grinding trying to make arguments that I think matter.

497
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: So you go to Books a Million, use code Travis

498
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: my last name, nine dollars off Books a million website.

499
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: If you just want to go to Amazon, I would

500
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: love you to go there, two tons of you. My

501
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: publisher called me yesterday. He was like, this is incredible.

502
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: Thousands of people went and bought the book yesterday after

503
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: you asked them to do on the show. So I'm

504
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: asking you favor to me, but I'm donating all the

505
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: proceeds for me, but for more importantly the arguments in

506
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: this book. Please go get it. The reason why I'm

507
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: saying it now a month before publication is I hope

508
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: people go out to bookstores and get it in a month.

509
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: This is when they decide where to put your book.

510
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: Do you get to be on the front tables. Do

511
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: you get to be in the airport when you're walking

512
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: down the aisle and there's a Hudson Bookstores there? Do

513
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: you get to be in Costco? Do you get to

514
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: be in Walmart? Do you get to go to where

515
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: people are get the book in front of them and

516
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: have them think, oh, what is this? Let me pick

517
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: this up and see whether or not I'm going to

518
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: buy in, and so that is my request for you

519
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: would mean a ton to me personally. One month out,

520
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: show up on your doorstep on the Tuesday. If you

521
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: read it, passing on to somebody else. Word of mouth

522
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: is valuable. But please, I'm asking you go buy a

523
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: copy nine dollars off right now at Books a Million.

00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,719
Speaker 1: You can get them in Amazon free shipping if you're

525
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: part of Amazon Prime. As I know a lot of

526
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: you are. Mark in Salt Lake City listening on one

527
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: oh five point nine k n R s GG. What

528
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: you got for.

529
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 7: Us, mister Travis. This is Mark in Salt Lake. Just

530
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 7: wanted to tell you. When I first started hearing you

531
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 7: on the radio, you drove me absolutely nuts. But I've

532
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 7: come to find out that you.

533
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: And I are a lot more alike than we are not.

534
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 7: And I absolutely love that you're such a family man

535
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 7: and that you talk about your kids and the things

536
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 7: that they're doing and how involved you are with them.

537
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: Keep up the good work.

538
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for the look. There is no difference between

539
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,959
Speaker 1: what I say on the mic and what I will

540
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: see if I ever see you in person. Some people

541
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: are great performers, some people are incredible actors. That is

542
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: not me, I sit down in front of a mic,

543
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: and same thing, when I sit down and write and

544
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: say exactly what I think. That's rare because most people

545
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: tiptoe up to their opinions. They're afraid of what other

546
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: people might think. They're sensitive about the responses to what

547
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: they say. That's normal. I don't have those genes for

548
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: whatever reason. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. But I

549
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: like to think, and certainly my radio career is reflected.

550
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: The more you listen, the more people start to think, hey,

551
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of agree with a lot of

552
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: what this guy says, or at least somewhat entertained Moses,

553
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: Moses from Western Montana. He's going to lead us to

554
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: the promised Lamb. What you got for us?

555
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 4: I've got a son, two sons, one daughter, and five

556
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 4: grandchildren that live in the Greater Portland area, and I

557
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 4: am telling you what martial law needs to get imposed.

558
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 4: My last two visits there, it gets worse and worse.

559
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 4: It's the smell, it's the scudge, it's the homeless, and

560
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 4: the cops do nothing.

561
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: I think what he said is actually so important there

562
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: the left is not beautiful, and I don't mean that

563
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: necessarily physically beautiful. I mean the things that they embrace.

564
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: Look at what they do to their body, look at

565
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: the lack of beauty and buildings. There's something rotten at

566
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: the core of the left that manifests itself physically in

567
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: the structures, in the bodies. I do think that it

568
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: then also certainly grades the streets. They're dirty, they're disgusting,

569
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: they're filthy. It's a physical manifestation. I think of a

570
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: hole in the soul that many in the left don't

571
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: even realize that they have. And again, I think this

572
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: is where you come back to arguments. You just hope

573
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: that you can convince people these are not good choices

574
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: being made for you or your families. And I do

575
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: think over time we're winning this argument. But it's going

576
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: to be a long battle, and it's not going to

577
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: end when Donald Trump leaves off. It's not going to

578
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: end in twenty twenty six or twenty twenty eight. We

579
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: need a generation of healing, I think in this country,

580
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: and it's going to take a lot of us fighting

581
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: for a long time to come. When we come back,

582
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: we'll take some of your calls and close up shop

583
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: on the week. But I want to tell you fun.

584
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to be at the Florida State Miami game

585
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: in Tallahassee this weekend. Looking forward to being there. Are

586
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: going to be down on the Florida Gulf Coast, God's Country,

587
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: and it's a great game on the road against Florida State.

588
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: Had an awesome time in dol Campbell Stadium. Seminole fans

589
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: were fantastic. I know, we got a lot of Miami

590
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: people that are listening right now. Probably some of you

591
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: are going to be at that game. But if you're

592
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: not gonna be at that game, you may be a

593
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: big college football fan. You may just want to have

594
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: some fun. That's what Price Picks is all about. And

595

00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 5: Find it on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get

00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 5: your podcasts.

621
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: Welcome Back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Also, by

622
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: the way, if you're watching on video, I am now

623
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: dressed in a nice shirt and a nice jacket because

624
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm immediately going to be on Martha McCollum show. As

625
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: soon as this program ends. I try to do and

626
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: generally do do Fox News most days, and that's because

627
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to win arguments everywhere, trying to be wherever

628
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: the audience is. And I'm impressed by the way. I

629
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: mentioned the number of you who bought the book yesterday.

630
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: After I said it's one month out, the publisher said,

631
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: tons of you are buying the audiobook. That counts from

632
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: my perspective as reading. I read the whole thing, so

633
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you credit for reading it too.

634
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: Trust me, when you sit in a studio and you

635
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: have to read an entire book, you have lots of

636
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: time to be sitting there thinking about yourself, particularly me,

637
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: who mispronounces so many words. As you guys well know,

638
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: I want to play one cut speaking of the difficulty

639
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: of winning arguments. Remember I'm banned on CNN. I'm also

640
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: banned on ESPN. And if you guys ever doubted it,

641
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 1: my friend Paul Finbaum, we had a big interview that

642
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: made a lot of news this week. I meant to

643
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: play this earlier, he said, Yeah. ESPN came in and

644
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: told me I can no longer have you on the

645
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: air because they're unhappy with some of the things that

646
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: you say.

647
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 3: Listen, going to ESPN cost us the best guests that

648
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 3: we had, right, which is Claiy Trapping.

649
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: And people at ESPEND don't always love it. I've never

650
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: admitted that, but you know, I think it would be

651
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 1: it would be disingenuous. For one time, I literally called

652
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: you and said, by the way, I know you may

653
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: think we don't like you, we can't have you on anymore.

654
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: I was banned. I'm still banned at CNN.

655
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: Maybe one day.

656
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: ESPN or this side they like me, So I mean,

657
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 1: this is where we are. If people don't like the

658
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 1: arguments that they may, they don't argue against you. They

659
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: try and keep you from being able to make those

660
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: arguments to the public. So I try to go to

661
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: audiences wherever they will have me, whether it's books, whether

662
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: it's television, whether it's radio. And I am so thankful

663
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: that we have had you for the last four plus

664
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: years and many more years to come. And I'm very

665
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: thankful to iHeart and Julie Talbot, who is the best

666
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: boss that I have ever had. All Right, you will
