For a little while doing the show. Going 32 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: to be a lot of fun. There several other stories 33 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: that are out there, and I encourage you to go 34 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: download the podcast make sure you don't miss a moment. 35 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: Great guest hits with Riley Gains and with doctor Marty 36 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: McCarey you just heard from in the second hour. It's 37 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: just us here in the third hour. And there's several 38 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: different things that I want to hit that I think 39 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: are particularly important coming out of the weekend. So I'm 40 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: going to play several of these things. But I want 41 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: to start with Democrats are now. This is from the 42 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: New York Times doing a deep dive on what went 43 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: wrong in twenty twenty four, and they have decided that 44 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: they need to do a better job of pursuing young men. 45 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: And this is this in many ways, sounds like what 46 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: you would say when you discover a new tribe that 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: has never had contact with the outside world before. Democrats 48 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: just sound completely broken when it comes to understanding how 49 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: to have a conversation with normal men out there. And 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: I saw this story over the weekend in New York Times, 51 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: and I just thought to myself, Yes, we should definitely 52 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: focus on this. Democrats, you'll nail it. This is from 53 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: the New York Times. The perspectus for one new twenty 54 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: million dollar effort, obtained by the Times, aims to reverse 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: the erosion of Democrat support among young men, especially online. 56 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: And again I'm reading from the New Times. It is 57 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: code named SAM, short for Speaking with American Men, a 58 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: strategic plan and promises investment to quote study the syntax, 59 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces. 60 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: It recommends buying advertisements in video games, among other things. 61 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: I have talked about this quite a lot, and this 62 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: is what my new book is about. It's about how 63 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: Democrats lost young men. And I want to tell you 64 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: a couple of analogies that are in the book. You 65 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: can go buy it. Some of you are going to 66 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: gasp a bit when you hear what it's called. But 67 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: let me first thank President Trump for his endorsement. Some 68 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: of you may have seen this over the weekend he 69 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: posted this is President Trump. Clay Travis has a great 70 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: all caps new book coming out November fourth, twenty twenty five, Balls, 71 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: How Trump Young Men and Sports Saved America. Clay is 72 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: a highly talented commentator who is tough, smart, and gifted 73 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: with all caps common sense. He studied our historic movement 74 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: from the very beginning, truly gets Maga Maga loves him. 75 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: Pre order your copy today with a link. Again. The 76 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: book is called It's gonna be out November, but you 77 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: can get it for fourteen bucks I think right now 78 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: in Amazon Balls How Trump young Men in Sports Saved America. 79 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: And the cover of the book has two basketballs on 80 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: the cover. And some of you are going to say, 81 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: oh my god, like you're so immature, and yes, that 82 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: probably is somewhat true, but I also want for people 83 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: to be gripped by the argument. And the cover of 84 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: a book is not surprisingly an opportunity to grab people 85 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: and make them think about something or see something that 86 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: they may not have seen before. And so I've spent 87 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: a great deal of time in the last several months 88 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: diving into the data analyzing what exactly is going on 89 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: with young men. And I want to hit you with 90 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: a couple of stories that really are in the book. 91 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: And again, the book's going to be out in November. 92 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: I think you guys are really going to like it. 93 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: If you're audiobook people, I'll be reading it. Buck has 94 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: got a great new book that's going to be out 95 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: in January two, so we'll have a couple of good books. 96 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: And I imagine that he's going to be reading his 97 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: book too. So for those of you that are going 98 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 1: to be on the road and don't necessarily want to 99 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: read the book itself, you can get the audio version. 100 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: But it's up on Amazon. It's only fourteen bucks and 101 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: it'll be right there. And I appreciate President Trump for 102 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: endorsing the book. They said, hey, how do you want 103 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: to announce the book? And I said, well, I'd like 104 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: for President Trump to announce it. I didn't know if 105 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: he would, But on Sunday night they popped me and said, hey, 106 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: President just he's going to be endorsing your book. He 107 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: loves it. He's excited about the concept. And Trump gets 108 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: it right Trump gets young men. But I want to 109 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: talk to you. If you've got kids or grandkids, I 110 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: want to hit you with a couple of stories. Sometimes 111 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: we don't see the world through the eyes of people 112 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: who are of different ages than us, even though we 113 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: might see many of the same things that they do. 114 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: And I've got two stories that are examples and anecdotes 115 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: that are in the book that really kind of crystallize 116 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: the world for me. You guys know, I have three boys, 117 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: so I think about this quite a lot right now. 118 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: They are seventeen, fourteen, and ten, one who's going to 119 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: be a rising sceenior, rising ninth grader, rising fifth grader, 120 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: so fairly different ages. But in the COVID era in 121 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, my then nine year old, my middle son, 122 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: like a lot of your kids are grandkids, was obsessed 123 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: with football cards, basketball cards, baseball cards. I love them 124 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. My boys got really into 125 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: them as well. YouTube has really I think fueled this 126 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: because you unpack, you open these, you break as they 127 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: call it, these cards, and you go through and you 128 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: look at them and they have all sorts of special cards. 129 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: Really very cool. I mean, it takes me back in time. 130 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: Every time I walk into a card shop with my boys, 131 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: and it just reminds me of being in the nineteen eighties, 132 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: nineteen nineties for many of you sixties seventies, whenever you 133 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: were into two thousands baseball cards, football cards, basketball cards. 134 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: And we were going to Target. During the COVID era, 135 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: everything you know, buying large shutdown. My kids are really 136 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: fired up about cards even more. This is when YouTube 137 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: it kind of took off. People card value skyrocket, a 138 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: lot of people sitting around watching. And we walked into Target, 139 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: and this is before the Target tuck bathing suits went crazy, 140 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: before Target's Pride Month insanity. And we walked in and 141 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: my nine year old points to the very first clothing 142 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: display in our local Target. This is Franklin, Tennessee. This 143 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: is a red county and a red I'm not talking 144 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: about walking in on in Times Square or something into 145 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: a Target. This is Franklin, Tennessee, where I live in 146 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: Williamson County, just south of Nashville, Tennessee, Red county, red state. 147 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: And he just said they would never have anything like 148 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing him, they would never have that for us. 149 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: And I didn't really know what he was talking about 150 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: He looked over. He said, they would never and there's 151 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: this huge display all of girl power t shirts. Girls rule, girls, 152 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: you know, dominate whatever it is, and girl power. He said, 153 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: they would never sell boy power shirts. 154 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 3: Dad. 155 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: But but you know, it's really very it. I mean, 156 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about it because I'm a generation older 157 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: than him, and the generation that I grew up in 158 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: is boys and girls should be equal. Boys and girls 159 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: should all be able to be doctors, or you should 160 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: all be able to pursue whatever career you want to. 161 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: We should allow, regardless of whether you're a boy or girl, 162 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: girls and boys to have equal success. And I went 163 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: to law school a Vanderbilt and met his mom there. 164 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: There were more girls in my law school class than boys. 165 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: And there are way more girls now that graduate from 166 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: college than boys who graduate from college, like sixty forty. 167 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: And you can imagine if sixty percent of college degrees 168 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: still went to men instead of women, we would hear 169 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: about it all the time. It would be one of 170 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: the top talking points. Oh, look how sexist, Look how 171 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: the patriarchy still dominates. I mean, we're talking about sixty 172 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: percent of college degrees go to women and the majority 173 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: now of graduate degrees go to women too, and yet 174 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: you walk into a Target store, according to my then 175 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: nine year old, and they get the message all the 176 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: time Earl's rule, boys basically stink and they would never 177 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: have a boy power t shirt. And he was right, 178 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: and shortly thereafter they go to public school K to six, 179 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: all my boys have. One of their friends came in 180 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: to the house and he was talking about they had 181 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: been having a history lesson at school, and the history 182 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: lesson that he had taken as a young white kid 183 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: was white people, white boys, white men ruin everything. And 184 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: he was kind of jokingly sitting around and he was like, 185 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, mister Clay, they tell us that we have 186 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: all this power, and he's like, my mom doesn't even 187 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: let me pick what I get to eat for dinner. 188 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: And it's funny, but it's also kind of sad because 189 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: we've raised this entire generation of boys that has been 190 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: told not just white kids, Black kids, Asian kids, Hispanic kids, Hey, 191 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: being a man, being a boy, there's something wrong with it. 192 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: Your masculinity is toxic. And what I grapple with in 193 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: this book is imagine that we raised an entire generation 194 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: of boys and we told them that their identity was toxic, 195 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: and then we shut down their schools, and we shut 196 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: down their sports teams, and we told them that COVID 197 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: was dangerous and masculinity is toxic, and they didn't get 198 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: to go to prom, and they didn't get to finish 199 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: their basketball season or their soccer seasons. And young girls 200 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: are part of this too, But I think boys in 201 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: particular is what I focused on because of the data. 202 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: They're profoundly angry. Young white, Hispanic, Asian and Black men 203 00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: are profoundly angry. And I really think that Trump, even 204 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: though he's their grandfather, channels their anger at the establishment 205 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: that took away part of their youth, that told all 206 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: of them at birth, hey, you're toxic because you're masculine. 207 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: Is it any wonder that they would be deeply searching 208 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: for purpose in life, and then you downgrade religion, You 209 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: tell them that being a provider is somewhat toxic too, 210 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: that they should be beta male versions of themselves. They 211 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: are fundamentally rejecting what I would call is the girl 212 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: power era, and they're saying there's nothing wrong with being 213 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: a boy, there's nothing wrong with growing up to be 214 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: a man. And I think that a lot of moms 215 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: out there right now are listening because you're raising boys. 216 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: And I think think a lot of grandmas are looking 217 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: around like when did all the men in the world 218 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: turn into pussy willows? And I think that Trump has 219 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: channeled that anger. And I also think that the younger 220 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: boys are actually more conservative than the young boys who 221 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: broke in huge numbers. And there's a big data analysis 222 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: in this book Balls and again, you got to grab 223 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: people's attention. There's a big part in the book. Do 224 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: you know the two trumpiest voting groups in America in 225 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election were men over the age 226 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: of sixty five and young men twenty four and younger. 227 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: I bet never in history have young men and older 228 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: men been more aligned than they are right now. And 229 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: the older men are like, this whole generation is BS. 230 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: But you know what, the younger men are saying, You're right, Grandpa, 231 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: this whole generation is BS. Now. People like me are 232 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: kind of in the right because I think we grew 233 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: up in the era of Hey, women should be able 234 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: to be successful. Yeah, good, go be a doctor, go 235 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: be a lawyer. That's fine. But I think this younger generation, 236 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: it's moved from women should be successful to men are bad. 237 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: We have dragged down men to elevate women. And I 238 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: think they see it, they feel that they're being taught it. 239 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: And so this book that I wrote is a complete 240 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: examination of that era, and I don't think anybody else 241 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: has told the story. Again comes through the world of sports, COVID, 242 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: all of it rolls together to create what may be 243 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: the most conservative generation that any of us have ever 244 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: seen in terms of young men. And I see it 245 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: as a dad because the younger men are moving even 246 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: more conservative, and the line of demarcation to me is COVID. 247 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: COVID was the breaking point, the point in time where 248 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: a lot of these young men said, no, we're being 249 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: lied to. If you lied to me about COVID, why 250 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: should I listen to you gender issues, Why should I 251 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: trust you on anything? And I think Trump and his 252 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: disruptive bravery, I'll talk about that in a second when 253 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: I come back, connects with them on a visceral level, 254 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: White Black, Asian Hispanics, not just white kids. It's young 255 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: men of all ages. The data is reflecting. Let's talk 256 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: about it when you come back. Owning gold no longer 257 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: reserve for the uber wealthy.

Buck was smart. He got gold 266 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: years ago, and in fact that gold has gone up 267 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: more than one hundred and sixty percent in value to date. 268 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: It's easier to purchase gold than it ever has been before, 269 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: and there are many ways to do it.

Milwaukee. You're 280 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: reacting to the story that I think is quite clear, 281 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: which is young men and why they're breaking for Trump. 282 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: The data is clear they're doing it. I think the 283 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: book that I'm writing that I've written that's going to 284 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: be out in November lays it out. But it's similar 285 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: to something you've done. What do you got for us? 286 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 287 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 4: And so I was a high school football coach, middle 288 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 4: school teacher in nineteen ninety eight, and I'm like, what 289 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 4: is going on with these boys? Even if I had 290 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 4: two young boys at that time and a young daughter, 291 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 4: and my wife is like, yeah, what is going on 292 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 4: with these boys? Like, what's going on? So I kind 293 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 4: of did a dive into it from one of my 294 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 4: master's degrees I was doing, and it was called the 295 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 4: Pancification of the American Male, and it was like, what's 296 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 4: happening to the boys and the things that popped out. 297 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 4: You know, this is a long time ago. The boy 298 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 4: scouts were now being run by moms, girls were in sports, 299 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 4: and a boy was cold like we'll be nice to 300 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 4: that girl. So if the girl stole the ball, the 301 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 4: boy was made fun of was so they heed to 302 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 4: attack the girl, and then he'd be made fun of 303 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 4: for beating up a girl. In advanced classes in my school, 304 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 4: we'd be going through and they're like, well, that boy 305 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 4: can't be in there because he's just he's too wild. 306 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 4: He'll di rup the classroom. But that girl, who's not 307 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 4: as smart, she really behaves and works out, so we'll 308 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 4: put her in the advanced classes. So it really became 309 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 4: and then political correctness was just starting, the woken wokeness 310 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 4: of it all, and so it really began to tell boys, 311 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 4: if I want to advance, and we had a very high 312 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 4: performing school district, I am fact like the girls. I 313 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 4: have been more like the girls. Your teachers are seventy 314 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 4: percent white women. They they talk and the like, do 315 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 4: you understand what a boy is like at all? 316 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: You boys are all wiggling, Yeah, thank you, thank you 317 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: for the call. I think, look, I think that masculinity 318 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: is in crisis, and I think it starts with boyhood. 319 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, men are partly to blame two 320 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 1: because there's a lot of absent fathers and As a result, 321 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: you got moms trying to do both jobs, to be 322 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 1: both man and woman in the household, and that's very 323 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: hard to do. Stay connected with your kids this summer 324 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: and out there out of school, are about to be 325 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: need to reach your kids instantly. Rapid radios walkie talking 326 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: make it easy just to push them a button.

My kids are out of school and 343 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: scheduling things with them has gotten increasingly more difficult because 344 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: somehow they're busier than I am, and I'm pretty busy. 345 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: But so anyway, we're going to be out for a 346 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: few days.

But I wanted to play this. 349 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: We are in the middle, obviously, of graduation season, and 350 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: as a part of graduation season, you get a lot 351 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: of commencement speeches, some better than others. I'm going to 352 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: be at a grad graduation tonight and we have got 353 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: a ridiculous speech from an elite school. I don't know 354 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: what Wake Forest is thinking to bring in Scott Pelley, 355 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: a Sixty Minutes correspondent. Is he team do research? Is 356 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: he a graduate of Wake Forest? I don't know. If 357 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: I went to Wake Forest and they were like, hey, 358 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: you know who you're commencement speaker? This is this year. 359 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: They're like, no, the eighth most famous guy on sixty Minutes, 360 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: I don't know that I'd be like, yes, score, this 361 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: is going to be an unbelievable validation of the four 362 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: years that I spent as a demon deacon. We got 363 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: the eighth most important guy on sixty minutes to come 364 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: talk to us. Do any of these twenty year olds 365 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: watch sixty minutes in the first place, Probably not, unless, 366 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: as is the case with me, it happens to come 367 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: on right after an NFL game ends, which is what 368 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: only reason anybody watches sixty minutes. It has the best 369 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: time slot on the planet. So he didn't even go 370 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: to He didn't even go to Wake Forest. So congratulations, 371 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: demon Deacons. You could have gotten me for free. At 372 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: least I'm one of the two best people on Clay 373 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 1: and Buck as opposed to the eighth best guy who 374 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: is on sixty minutes. But Scott Pelley went off. Buck 375 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: may weigh in on this tomorrow too, because I saw 376 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: him sharing some tweets. They were really good about this. 377 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: But let me play. This is what you happened to see, 378 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: And I bet some of you who are listening were 379 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: there because we've got a big audience in North Carolina 380 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: and Wake As I said, it's fabulous school. Here he 381 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,959 Speaker 1: is going off about Trump and the insidious fear that 382 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: he has created here's cut eighteen. 383 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 5: In this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred rule 384 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 5: of law is underattack. Journalism is underattack, universities are under attack. 385 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 6: Freedom of speech is underattack. 386 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 5: And insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, 387 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 5: our homes, and into our private thoughts, the fear to 388 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 5: speak in America. 389 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: What in the world I sometimes I hear this stuff 390 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what is the world that you live in? 391 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: Did Scott Pelly make any of these comments when Joe 392 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: Biden was censoring people through his administration on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, 393 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: When you said things like the COVID shot is worthless, 394 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: they would demonetize you, they would ban you. And now 395 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: we know the COVID shots are worthless because the data 396 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: reflected it. Where was Scott Pelly during all that? He continued, 397 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 1: by the way, Trump is demonizing diversity, equity and inclusion. 398 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, this is what you heard if you 399 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: were graduating from Wake Forest, Shame on Wake Forest. Honestly, 400 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: who in the world. First of all, you picked the loser, 401 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 1: You picked the eighth most famous guy at sixty minutes, 402 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: and then you let him get up there and rip 403 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: to shreds. The sitting president of the United States. Now again, 404 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: I don't think you should once you decide that somebody 405 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: is a commencement speaker, I don't think that you should 406 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: censor what they want to say. So I don't blame 407 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: Wake Forest for what he said. I blame them for 408 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 1: being so lame that this was their pick and that 409 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: this is what you had to sit through if you 410 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: happen to be graduating from Wake Forest in the state 411 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: of North Carolina, which Trump won comfortably. I might add 412 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: Here's cut nineteen. 413 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 5: Power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives. They can 414 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 5: make criminals heroes and heroes criminals. Power can change the 415 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 5: definition of. 416 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 6: The words we use to describe reality. 417 00:23:54,680 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 5: Diversity is now described as illegal, Equity is to be shunned. 418 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 6: Inclusion is a dirty word. 419 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: Oh this guy, I mean, shame on Wake Forest for 420 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: picking this Trump deranged lunatic to be your speaker. And 421 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: I feel bad for Wake Forest grads who were like, 422 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: who's this old guy yelling at us about Trump when 423 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: as we just talked about a lot of the young men, 424 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: I guarantee you that are sitting out there at that 425 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: graduation voted Trump. And I don't look let me just 426 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: tell you this. I don't think you should have any 427 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: commencement speaker who's just sharing his political philosophy, And certainly 428 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to be lectured by sixty Minutes, which 429 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: just featured a laudatory story. Some of you remember because 430 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: we talked about it on the program of Germany, where 431 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: they followed a German police raid on people who were 432 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: posting things on social media that they didn't like. Don't 433 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: lecture me about journalism under attack when you just spent 434 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: four years telling me that Joe Biden was the best 435 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 1: Biden he'd ever been, and to my knowledge at sixty Minutes, 436 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: you didn't cover Biden's mental and physical decline at all 437 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: for four years. And now after four months of Trump, 438 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: suddenly you're Scott Pelly and you're terrified of what's coming 439 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: in the world. Look, the only reason people watch sixty 440 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: Minutes is because it comes on right after NFL games. 441 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: That's it. If they put sixty Minutes on at ten 442 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: o'clock at night on CBS, nobody would watch it. They 443 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: spend tons of money on it. It's far left wing 444 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: propaganda like this lunatic Scott Pelly and Wake Forest. They 445 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: probably paid him fifty K to come give this stem winding, absurd, 446 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: indefensibly bad take on the current state of freedom in America. 447 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: And I just I wanted to play it for you 448 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: because I do think it's deeply emblematic of the broken 449 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: brain that many people have in America. And I think 450 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: it also ties in with the fact that our taxpayer 451 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: dollars are expected to subsidize a lot of this stuff. 452 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: You know, NPR is suing. That story came out today 453 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: because the Trump administration has decided that they do not 454 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: want for there to be our tax dollars going for 455 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: left wing propaganda. And look, I think NPR should have 456 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: the right to exist in the American marketplace of ideas. 457 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: They compete with us. We're on five hundred and fifty 458 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: some odd stations. I bet several hundred of those stations, 459 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: I bet we are directly competing within PR And that's fine. 460 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: If you like NPR more than this show, then they 461 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: should beat us. They should make more or advertising dollars, 462 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: they should be higher rated. By the way, they aren't 463 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: and almost all of our competing markets. But if they were, 464 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: that's fine. That's how the marketplace goes. NPR tweeted out, 465 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: why haven't you seen any stories about the New York 466 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: Post Hunter Biden story, because quote, we don't want to 467 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: waste our time on stories that are not really stories, 468 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: and we don't want to waste the listeners and readers 469 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: time on stories that are just pure distractions. That is 470 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: Terrence Samuel's NPR's managing editor for News on the Hunter 471 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: Biden story. Well, that's fine, they're wrong, and Hunter Biden 472 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: has now pled guilty to crimes that were included on 473 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: that laptop, which fortunately Miranda Divine and the team at 474 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: the New York Post wrote about and covered. But what 475 00:27:53,680 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 1: in the world is defensible in any way on my 476 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: tax dollars and your tax dollars going to subsidize this 477 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck doesn't get subsidized by left wing tax dollars. 478 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: And I would understand if people were upset. If you're 479 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 1: a hardcore Democrat and you see this show growing, and 480 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: you see the influence that we are having, and you 481 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: found out that we were getting tens of millions of 482 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: dollars in taxpayer funds, some of which would be coming 483 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: from the left, I would understand you say, wait a minute, 484 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 1: why can't that show compete in the marketplace without getting 485 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: taxpayer funded support. That would be a very fair criticism 486 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: that I would say, you know what, you're right, but 487 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: why should we be competing with your tax dollars going 488 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: for NPR when we're kicking their ass in ratings all 489 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: over the place and we don't get that benefit. And 490 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: for people out there always say you know what, they say, well, 491 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: it's not that much money, Okay, then why are you 492 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: suing over it? If we lost an advertiser and it 493 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: was a relatively true small part of the overall revenue here, 494 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: we're not gonna be filing lawsuits over it. We'll just 495 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: find a new advertiser. Don't listen to what they say. Look, 496 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: get what they do. This is a huge part of 497 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,239 Speaker 1: their funding, or else they wouldn't be filing lawsuits over it. 498 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: Now they argue about how's the money coming in, but 499 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: it goes to support a lot of the propaganda that 500 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: they put out. It shouldn't be existing, not with taxpayer support. 501 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: Republicans have talked about this forever. Now that we're eliminating 502 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: the penny, they should not get one red cent. They 503 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: should also not get one dollar. They should not get 504 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: one dollar of American taxpayer support. If they want to 505 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: compete in the marketplace of ideas in the media universe 506 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: with this show and other shows, they should more power 507 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: to them, but not with our federal taxpayer dollar and 508 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: support behind it. We'll take some of your calls to 509 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: close up shop on the program today. As I mentioned 510 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: Buck getting better, he should be back tomorrow. I've got 511 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: a graduation to go to. Eighth grade graduation. I don't remember, 512 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: by the way, I didn't have an eighth grade graduation. 513 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: I didn't have a kindergarten graduation. I didn't have a 514 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: fifth grade graduation. We got major graduation inflation going on. 515 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: I you know, like, more power to you. You graduate 516 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: from high school, that's a big deal. You graduate from college, 517 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: that's a big deal. Does anybody fail kindergarten? Is there 518 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: a huge roster of kids? You're like, Man, I didn't 519 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: know if he was gonna make it or not. That 520 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: crossing his knees and sitting on the on the rug, 521 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: I was it was touch and go whether he was 522 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: going to nail that or not. I didn't know if 523 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: he was going to get past r. In the ABC's 524 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: he got to s and then he after a little 525 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: bit of work got to V and then once we 526 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: got to the X Y Z because it rhymed, we 527 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: were feeling pretty good, but we didn't know it was 528 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: really touch and go. There. You're worried about getting through kindergarten. 529 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: The kid's got a lot of issues going forward, all right, 530 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: fifth grade. I don't remember a lot of people that 531 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: were like, hey, I don't know if he's gonna make 532 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: it to sixth grade. We're just what did we really 533 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: need these graduations eighth grade when you're already at the 534 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: same school like my kids are. Yeah, he's gonna go 535 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 1: from one classroom to the next classroom next year. We're 536 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: gonna let you keep paying tuition for him, and we're 537 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: not going to stop him in eighth grade. I think 538 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: we're overdoing the graduation thing. I don't remember a kindergarten graduation. 539 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: I certainly didn't have a fifth grade graduation or an 540 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 1: eighth grade graduation. Let's okay, high school even high school. Yeah, 541 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of an accomplishment, not really like 542 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: you screwed up if you didn't graduate from high school. 543 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,959 Speaker 1: But at least it's thirteen years of schooling that we're celebrating. 544 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: In theory, from kindergarten to twelfth grade. I don't know 545 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: what's next. I've been to kindergarten, I've been to fifth grade, 546 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: I've been to eighth grade. I haven't even been to 547 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 1: a high school graduation yet. For my kids, I think 548 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: we got to dial back all the celebrations. Does that 549 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: make me sound like a old grump? Or is almost 550 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: everybody else out there kind of quietly nodding along. Maybe 551 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: some of you are pretending that you don't agree because 552 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: your significant other maybe widely committed, strongly committed to what 553 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: an incredib accomplishment it is.

Kindergarten graduation really really in fifth grade? 603 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 1: Eighth grade? I think it's a part of just an 604 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: overpraising of basic, basic, achievement. That's fine. If you're on 605 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: the ropes on kindergarten or fifth grade, maybe the rest 606 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: of your life is going to be so tough that 607 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't even matter. But I just think in general, 608 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: let's see, do we still have Do we still have 609 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: Tracy in South Carolina?

Yeah, 616 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 7: and if anything good came out of twenty twenty, it 617 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:19,720 Speaker 7: was the virtual graduation for UMSS Ambert. As a parent, 618 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 7: I was so afraid. I think the year before, Elizabeth 619 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 7: Warren was their keynote speaker, and I don't know. I 620 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 7: think I could trade the virtual graduation for that keynote 621 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 7: speaker any day. 622 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: But you also wanted to weigh in on boys under Siege. 623 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, for sure.

You know, kindergarten being told to 627 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 7: sit down and be quiet all through school, boys aren't 628 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 7: made to do that. And next thing you know, they're 629 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 7: getting diagnosed and you know, PUTT put on ADHD medication 630 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 7: and amen. 631 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: I think that we have failed so many of our 632 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: young boys.
