1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back to the Clay Travis and 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. We're here in the second hour. We're 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: going to talk to you about the latest in Ukraine 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: and US involvement, Western involvement. What are we gonna do 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: with our allies and how is this likely to continue? 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: What's going to be happening here in the days ahead. 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: You have a Russian demand this morning for the surrender 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: of Mariopal, which is a city on it It's a 10 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: port city i believe, on the Sea of Azov, which 11 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: is connected to the Black Sea, and this would be 12 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: a land bridge if they were able to secure this 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: between two other important areas for the Russian invasion here 14 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: in eastern Ukraine, it would connect effectively the Dunbas region 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: to Crimea. It would be a connecting city between those 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: two areas, would also effectively but block and bar Ukraine 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: from water access or come pretty close to it. So 18 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian government has said no. They've said that they 19 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: will not they will not concede the city of Mariopal 20 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: on the Sea of Azov to Russian forces, even though 21 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: there's it's getting pounded with missiles. The Russian assault continues on. 22 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: Now I know that we try to focus on what 23 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: this means for us here at home as much as 24 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: possible and take a in America first perspective on our 25 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: foreign policy in general. This was fascinating to me. I 26 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: mean this I thought was it wasn't surprising, but it 27 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: was worth noting to all of you. I understand it's 28 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: it's data for Canada I would love to see and 29 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: my guess as you probably will see similar polling here 30 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: in the States, but this was done through the Toronto 31 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,559 Speaker 1: Star and some polling agency. I think it's eCos. How 32 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: should Canada respond to the Ukraine invasion? And they break 33 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: it down by vaccinated versus unvaccinated, And this is for respondence. 34 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: The vaccinated, mind you, is three or more shots. So 35 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: like Clayoff and I wouldn't count you know, if you 36 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: if you just get one J and J shot, you're 37 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: not I think you're you're considered unvaccinated. Now for the 38 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: vaccinated folks, you are unvaxed if you only got the 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: J and J. Let me just throw some of these 40 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: numbers at UKLA because this this is pretty clear what 41 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: we see happening here. Imposing tougher economic sanctions on Russia. 42 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: The vaccinated eighty six percent say yes. Seizing the assets 43 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: of oligarchs eighty five percent of vaccinated yes, cutting off 44 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: oil shipments from Russia eighty one percent, Sending additional military 45 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: equipment eighty two percent. We'll go down a little bit 46 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: here to providing Ukraine with fighter jets fifty two percent, 47 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: dispatching military forces to Ukraine thirty percent. On the other side, 48 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: you have the unvaccinated respondence, imposing tougher economic sanctions on 49 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: Russia thirteen percent, season the assets of Russian oligarchs thirteen percent, 50 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: cutting off shipments from Russia twenty one percent, dispatching military 51 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: force to Ukraine eleven percent. Now, this isn't a perfect 52 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: snapshot of very complicated issues, but it does seem to 53 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: indicate clay that for people who are willing to listen 54 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: to the machinery of state media and the apparatus, there 55 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: is a correlation between I will double mask, I will 56 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: get eight shots if I'm told, and we need to 57 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: do everything, including send troops into Ukraine to stop this invasion, 58 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: because that's what our media is telling us needs to happen, 59 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: right now or that we at least have some moral 60 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: obligation to do more. Yeah, And this to me is 61 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: part and parcel of the bigger picture here, buck, which 62 00:03:55,040 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: is not being understand able to analyze risk rationally. Because 63 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: there's a great story out in the in the Wall 64 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: Street Journal today where they break down everything surrounding the 65 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: idea of kids ages five to eleven getting vaccinated and 66 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: basically the data doesn't support it at all. But this 67 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: idea of the fear of COVID, what I've called for 68 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: a long time, the fear porn, is so all encompassing 69 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: that they're unable to analyze it. And I feel like 70 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: this is the same way an emotional response to Ukraine 71 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: is in some way justifying what is an irrational risk. 72 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: In other words, your your own individual risk from COVID. 73 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: You are wildly overrating the world's risk of nuclear war, 74 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: you are radically underrating And ultimately, what it to me 75 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: reflects is a failure of your own risk analysis to 76 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: make rational decisions, probably because you're being overrun by emotion 77 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: as opposed to logic. And it's it's even there's even 78 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: a correlation. Now the no fly zone would be that's 79 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: that's the most extreme military measure from the US and 80 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: Canadian side that people have been talking about in a 81 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: serious way. I don't think you're not hearing people say 82 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: we should, you know, send a you know, we should 83 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: land the Marines and then send in you know, eighty 84 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: second airborne, but no flies one they've talked about. There 85 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: is a correlation here, can't say cause asition correlation here. 86 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: The more doses of vaccine Clay one has received correlate 87 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 1: with more extreme positions for intervention in Ukraine. So if 88 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: you've received three or more doses, so you're boosted, maybe 89 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: boosted plus fifty nine percent on this pole, say a 90 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: no fly zone is a good idea two doses, it's 91 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: only thirty four percent vaccine refusers eighteen percent. So do 92 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: you think do you think do you buy into this 93 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: analysis book that it's emotion based decision making almost entirely, 94 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: and emotion oftentimes. I mean, everybody out there listening to 95 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: us knows you make a lot better decisions very often 96 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: if you're emotional about a subject, if you sleep on 97 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: it right, give yourself a little bit of time to 98 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: think on it, as opposed to initially reacting as your 99 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: emotions might dictate. I always like to use as an 100 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: example in the world of politics, Abraham Lincoln would handwrite 101 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: every time he got furious, handwrite letters explaining exactly why 102 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: he was furious, and then he would put it in 103 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: his desk drawer in the White House and wait for 104 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: a day to decide whether or not to send it. 105 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: And he said most of the time he never sent 106 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: the letters. And I love the quote from Benjamin Franklin, 107 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: passion governs and she never governs. Wisely, social media age, 108 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: we allow emotion to dictate almost every American policy action. 109 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: It feels like, yes, this is this is about for 110 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: people take positions now that the government. And in the 111 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: case of Canada, it is truly state media, which I 112 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: think is interesting. In our country, it's a facto state media. 113 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm not even just talking about NPR. I mean, you 114 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: see the relationship between the legacy corporate media and the 115 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: Democrat Party and the Biden administration, and how cozy and 116 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: colluding it all is. When you have ninety five percent 117 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: of news and journalism supporting one political party, you might 118 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: you might as well have state media, because that's what 119 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: you're up against the people that want to go along 120 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: with this generally, I find are those who want to 121 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: be a part of the herd, and they also want 122 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: the validation from the information and political machinery machinery around 123 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: them of they're a good person more than thing else. 124 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: I believe this. I want to get the shots because 125 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm a good person. So I'll get three shots, I'll 126 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: get five shots, I'll get ten shots. It doesn't matter 127 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: what the data actually says or what I observe about 128 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: the efficacy of the accins to stop the spread. I 129 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: do it because I'm a good person. And the same 130 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: kind of thinking is reflected I think in the no 131 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: fly zone support, where people say we should have a 132 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: no fly zone, and it's because what they're doing is 133 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: so terrible. The Russians are so awful. Putin's a monster, 134 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter if it means that we have 135 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: US plane shot down, that there'd be US soldiers put 136 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: in harm's way, that perhaps there'll be open war with Russia. 137 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: It makes me feel good to hold the position. And 138 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: that is the way that I think a lot of 139 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: decision making goes these days in politics. It is also 140 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: very much pushed by social media, and it's who controls 141 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: the information flaw I mean, we see who gets to 142 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: banned people for saying a man is a man. It's 143 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: not Republicans, it's not conservatives who get to do that. 144 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: And also I would say, Buck, as our world is accelerating, 145 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 1: it's easier to judge by what occurs on social media, 146 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: and sometimes that can lead to awful decisions. And I'll 147 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: from a humor perspective, we talked about the cuble A 148 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: tournament going on. Rex Chapman, who is a far left 149 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: wing loon, is now part of the nc double A 150 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: tournament coverage and he's just he's awful at it. And 151 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: the reason why he got that job is because Turner 152 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: executives and CNN executives liked the fact that he was 153 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: sharing left wing tweets all the time. And so this 154 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,359 Speaker 1: Ukraine strategy is driven by the same strategy that motivated BLM, 155 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: that motivated the idea that you have to go get 156 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: your COVID shot. And by the way, Buck, coming out 157 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: of the weekend in Ukraine, are you even more confident 158 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 1: that we're headed towards a negotiated settlement and that the 159 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: likelihood here is that Russia is going to get a 160 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: substantial piece of Ukraine. In order to end this war. 161 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: From week from week two, maybe even week one of 162 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: this fight, I've been saying, Russia is going to see 163 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: they're going to consolidate in the East, they're going to seize, 164 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: and they're consolidate Crimea, connect them and then decide that 165 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: they get by the way that's where some of the 166 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: pockets of Russian primarily Russian speaking Ukrainians live, and they're 167 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: going to say, well, this is now Russian Federation territory 168 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: or Russian Federation Protectorate. That's how this thing ends. Even 169 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: with the note applies one, which would be crazy. This 170 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: thing doesn't end with Ukraine booting out the evil Russian 171 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: invaders and taking back all of their lost territory. That's 172 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: just not realistic. So now it's how quickly I mean. 173 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: Right now, on CNN, the headline is Zelenski open to 174 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: Putin talks but warns of world War three if they fail. 175 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: I would like it if this guy would stop talking 176 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: about World War three. I'm just gonna put that out there. 177 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: It's actually not world War three. It's a war between 178 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine, and they're international actors who are trying 179 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: to help and bring it to resolve it. But we 180 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: all know World War one, world War two, those were 181 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: different conflicts of a different scale, And I wish he 182 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: would stop saying. He even said we're already in World 183 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: War three, and one of his speeches last week like 184 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: he should calm this down a little bit. That's not 185 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: helpful at this moment. I also wonder, as I'm watching 186 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: him by the way, buck to what extent is Russia 187 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: still trying to kill him, because that's the one that 188 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: I think could really throw things for an emotional wrench 189 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 1: here right And the reason why I bring that up 190 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: is so much of right now the world defines Ukraine 191 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: through Zalinski, and if he is killed and murdered by Russia, 192 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: I think that's going to put things on a different 193 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: emotional pivot because he is the personification of this war, 194 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: and the people who are responding emotionally are going to 195 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: respond even more emotionally to his death. If it ends 196 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: up happening, I think it would be the worst thing 197 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: that could happen. I think it's certainly for that death, 198 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: But just in terms of acceleration, I think the Russians 199 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: and Putin would view this first to the lens of 200 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: does it make it more likely that we get a 201 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: settlement that we the Russian meaning the Russian Federation wants 202 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: if this guy's alive or dead. If he's if it's 203 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: easier if he's alive. And then, because I keep saying this, 204 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: once the bullets stop and there's some kind of ceasefire, 205 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: negotiate agreement, Russian oil, all this stuff is going to 206 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: be within six months maybe sooner, people are gonna say, yeah, 207 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: Russia is bad, but we have to do business with them. 208 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: And Putin knows that that's what's going to happen. So 209 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: is it easier to get to that state with or 210 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: without Zelenski? I think in Putin's calculation, which I don't 211 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how he viewsed that, but I think 212 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: that's what governs how much they're trying to specifically go 213 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: after Zelenski, to take him out as a target or not. 214 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: If taking him out means that this thing ends faster, 215 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm Putin would do it in a heartbeat. We'll 216 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: come back, I'll play, we'll have a little bit of fun, 217 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: because I think you'll enjoy this too. Anytime you go 218 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: on television and announcing that someone who is actually alive 219 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: is dead, and especially when they're one of your co workers, 220 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: not a great place to be. Must be a shock 221 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: to them. Yeah, and no doubt, as Mark Twain said, 222 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Mike Lindell, 223 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: in ventor of My Pillow and his team they finished 224 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: for our own pillows and introduced us to their ever 225 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: growing list of incredible products.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us, 245 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: and there is so much insanity out there. Buck your 246 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: your national championship team Villanova is still alive. My national 247 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: championship team Tennessee was eliminated by Michigan. I'm still not 248 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: over at My wife is a Michigan grad and as 249 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: I was sulking over the loss on Saturday, she found 250 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: me and she said, well, at least one of us 251 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: is a winner. So yeah, yeah, very thoughtful of her. 252 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: But Villanova is still alive. But look, they've got an 253 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: absolute idiot, imbecile in Rex Chapman, who is working right 254 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: now as a part of the programming. And this went 255 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: viral after he reported as part of his analysis that 256 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: Pete Gillen, who's a former Providence Friar's coach, was dead. 257 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna played this clip for you in a minute. 258 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: But Buck, this guy is only getting his job. He's 259 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: got a CNN Plus show now. Uh. Rex Chapman, he 260 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: stole fourteen thousand dollars in gear from a Scottsdale Apple store. 261 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: Uh and uh, that's a lot of gear, but that's laptops, Like, 262 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: that's not one or two things. I was trying to 263 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: figure that out myself because usually an iPhone, even if 264 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: you're paying full for eight is what like seven eight 265 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: hundred dollars, and the absolute top line Mac laptop pretty 266 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: much runs you close to two grand I think, I 267 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: mean fourteen thousand dollars he was steal. I don't even 268 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: know how you steal stuff like that from the Apple 269 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: store because usually they go back right they come out, 270 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: and then they bring your stuff back out. So I 271 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: don't even know what Rex Chapman was doing or how 272 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: he managed to do it, but he was arrested for 273 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: fourteen thousand dollars in Apple store theft in Scottsdale. He's 274 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: a former University of Kentucky basketball player and played in 275 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: the played in the NBA as well, and was a 276 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: successful NBA player. But he's lost his mind. He's gone 277 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: full on you know, Corona Bro, he's arguing. Remember back 278 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: when the Virginia Tech the football season started, he tweeted out, Oh, 279 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: it's the Corona Bowl. And I mean, he's just kind 280 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: of an imbecile. Well, it's not surprising to anybody who's 281 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: paid attention to his work. CNN would hire him, give 282 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: him his own show on CNN Plus, put him on 283 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: their basketball coverage, and he would report that a fellow 284 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: CBS employee, a guy who is who is also calling 285 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: in Cuba tournament related games, Pete Gillen is dead. Listen, 286 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: the aggressives get the calls. The physicality I think plays 287 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: in favor of Providence, and I think Ed Cooley takes 288 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: Providence back to the Sweet sixteen for the first time 289 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: since twenty five years ago when Pete gillenhad Godshamn God, 290 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: rest in peace, Pete Gillen, So he's not resting in peace. 291 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: Apparently he's walking around hanging out with family. He's fine, 292 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: that's what you're telling me. Yes, And this is is, 293 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: you know, indicative. You can kind of laugh it off, 294 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: but this is indicative of what we were talking about 295 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: in the last segment, Buck, which is I think so 296 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: many people allow Twitter to be the real world that 297 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: they don't even recognize what absolute insanity it is to 298 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: be giving people like Rex Chapman television shows. I mean, 299 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: this guy's an impasiles. I think less than two percent 300 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: of the United States is active on Twitter on a 301 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: regular basis, And for a lot of people in the media, 302 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: they think that Twitter opinion is representative. It's been said 303 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: before the Twitter is the assignment editor of the New 304 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 1: York Times. There's truth to that, because the people that 305 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: work in journalism in particular think that whoever is chirping 306 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: at them on Twitter is representative of what people actually 307 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: think across the country, and that is not true. It's 308 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 1: not remotely. Turns out that's not accurate. Look, there are 309 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: more and more examples of governments worldwide reaching for income 310 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: and savings of private citizens. It's a thought that was 311 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: impossible to conceive some years ago, but serve as a 312 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: reminder that protecting your life savings from all forces is important. 313 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: One way to achieve that is with the purchase of 314 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: gold and or silver. I buy my gold from the 315 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: Oxford Gold Group.

When Joe Biden came into office, it was 338 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: two dollars and thirty eight cents a gallon for gasoline. 339 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: American families paid a thousand dollars more George for energy 340 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: last year than the year before, and on polling last week, 341 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: seventy percent of Americans say more American oil and gas 342 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: and less emphasis on climate, less emphasis on climates or 343 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: John Barrasso, there he gets it. This is what has 344 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: led to so many of the otherwise inexplicably self defeating, 345 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: absurd policies around energy that the Democrats are always pushing for, 346 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: which the only upside is the fight against the imaginary 347 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: war with CO two that we are supposed to be 348 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: waging all the time, but it really hurts families. I 349 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: mean a thousand dollars in extra energy cost. The all 350 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: time high gas price was just last week in this 351 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: country was hit last week. Gas prices are down I 352 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 1: think down seven cents from last week now, but still 353 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: very high, which means all the products you buy are 354 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: quite expensive and the things that you need are going 355 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: to be taking a bigger bite out of your budget. 356 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: All across the country, this is reality. Now, there are 357 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: two ways that they're going to go at this because 358 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: they recognize they got a big problem going into the 359 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: midterms when the economy is crappy and people are feeling 360 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: the effects of high inflation. Increasingly, people are talking about 361 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: stagflation Clay, and maybe even a looming recession here, depending 362 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 1: on what economic growth is this quarter. When that's happening, 363 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of folks excited to go 364 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: and vote for the party in power that's made a 365 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 1: lot of bad decisions. So what is Elizabeth Warren offering 366 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: on this? Well, this is actually a flashback to March thirteenth, 367 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: he was on MSNBC. But you're gonna hear a lot 368 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: more of this. H those big greedy corporations. Senator white 369 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: House and I and others have introduced a windfall profits 370 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: tax that says, if you're out there price gouging, you're 371 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to give up a big chunk of your 372 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: ill gotten gains. That's the best way I know to 373 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: be able to push back against these oil companies. This 374 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: isn't like democratic Western europe socialism so much as it 375 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: starts to sound more like straight up Venezuela Maduro socialism. 376 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: For Melizzeth Warren, you're a greedy company, Clay, your greedy 377 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,959 Speaker 1: oil company. The profits are too high, so we're just 378 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: going to take it from you. Well, well, and again, 379 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: how do you define what a windfall profit is? That 380 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: is a massive difficulty, that would be ripe for exploitation, right, 381 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: because if let's say, these oil and gas companies are 382 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: making more money. Again, I go back to the Democrats 383 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: not really understanding how business works, because so much of 384 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: what they say is, you know, they made this much 385 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: money and they only paid this much tax. The tax 386 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: code is broken. Let's just say that straight. I mean, 387 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: I am a long term believer that if you and 388 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: I are pretty smart people, right in a grand scheme 389 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: of things, I have no idea how to do my 390 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 1: taxes at this I'm not zero, dude. I mean, there 391 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: are so many different moving parts. I give everything to 392 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: my accountant and I say, you know, handle it. Let 393 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: me know what I need to write a check for, 394 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: let me know if I'm getting a refund. I have 395 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: no earthly idea, and I guarantee you the vast majority 396 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: of people out there who are in any way involved 397 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: in owning a business or trying to I mean it's broken. 398 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: So this idea of a windfall profits tax is broken 399 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: at inception because our tax code really should be and 400 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 1: this is where one of those things Steve Forbes got 401 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: right back in the day. You should be able to 402 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: pay your taxes by filing, you know, like a postcard. Right. 403 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: Everybody should understand what they're paying. Everybody should play. In 404 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,680 Speaker 1: my opinion, in an ideal world, we would all pay 405 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: a flat tax. We would know exactly what we owe, 406 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: there would be no complexity to it. I have zero 407 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: confidence in the Democratic Party, which doesn't understand basic business 408 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: right now, being able to try to make the oil 409 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,239 Speaker 1: and gas industry better when the reason why we're not 410 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: producing as much oil and gas as we possibly could 411 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: buck is because they already have regulated us away from 412 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: being able to do that. So now when you challenge 413 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: these oil and gas companies, you're going to further disincentivize 414 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: them from producing more oil and gas. That's the actual 415 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: what the impact of this would be. So you have 416 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: the demonize the corporations, which is what you're just talking about, taking, 417 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: taking their windfall profits tax and all this stuff. That's 418 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: one option for the Democrats, because the make things better economically, 419 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: get out of the way, less regulation, push for fossil 420 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: fuel energy production to be an absolute maximum in this country. 421 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: Democrats ain't gonna do that. That's not going to happen. 422 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: So they're looking at going into a mid term with 423 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,959 Speaker 1: a weak economy and people upset understandably about it. So 424 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: on the one hand, clad they have the class warfare angle, 425 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: which Elizabeth Warren, multi multi millionaire Elizabeth Warren is great 426 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: at playing right, Oh, I care so much about you. 427 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: She's worth like fourteen million herself. Yeah. Then the other 428 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: one is buy a Tesla peasant or in this case, 429 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: eat some lentils and take the bus peasants. This was 430 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: amazing Bloomberg Opinion first of all, with the Captain Obvious 431 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: Award for Bloomberg Opinion for the last month, maybe forever. 432 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: This is from the piece Inflation stings most if you 433 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: earn less than three three hundred thousand dollars a year. Yeah, 434 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 1: you don't say, here's how to deal with it. It 435 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: turns out millionaires care less, Clay, and even half millionaires 436 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: care less about inflation than people who are working for 437 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 1: wages under three hundred k. Here's how they say to 438 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: deal with it. And I'm serious. I'm actually reading to 439 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,640 Speaker 1: you from a Bloomberg opinion piece. Here, everybody take the bus, 440 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: don't buy in bulk, try lentils instead of meat. And 441 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: nobody said this would be fun. This is This is 442 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: the the elites who think they understand economics are like, 443 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: put that cheeseburger down. Peasant inflations running high, plus the 444 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: carbon emissions for the cow a too high, Eat your 445 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: lentil patty in silence. Here also is a bad idea 446 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: of why every journalist just about shouldn't live in New 447 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: York City and LA or San Francisco because to them 448 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: three hundred You know this buck, if you live in 449 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: New York City, like, three hundred thousand dollars in New 450 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: York City is a lot of money, but you aren't rich. 451 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: If you have three hundred thousand dollars in New York City, 452 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: if you make three hundred thousand dollars in ninety nine 453 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: percent of the places that people live in the United States, 454 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: you're doing really, really well for yourself. But you have 455 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: this idiot journalist. I don't even know how they picked. 456 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 1: Do you agree with that buck? Three hundred thousand dollars? 457 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: You can see how a journalist in New York could 458 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: be like, Oh, you're not super rich. If you're listening 459 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: to us right now in Birmingham, Alabama, or you're listening 460 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: to us right now in Louisville, Kentucky, or in Salt 461 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: Lake City, three hundred thousand, you're living pretty well on 462 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,639 Speaker 1: three hundred thousand dollars. In New York City, a journalist 463 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: might be thinking, Oh, you're not that rich on three 464 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 1: hundred k, and it just makes you so out of 465 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: touch in terms of how the vast majority of Americans 466 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: are living. They've done studies and are listeners on our 467 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: wr family in the New York christ that are already 468 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: knows this. If you're living in New York City, whatever 469 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: your income is compared to other cities across the country, 470 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: with a handful of exception in San Francis, you know lam. 471 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: But if you if you're living in New York City 472 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: compared to say, Oklahoma City, whatever your income is goes 473 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,199 Speaker 1: half as far. So if you make one hundred thousand 474 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: dollars a year in New York City, you live like 475 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 1: somebody who makes fifty thousand dollars in Oklahoma City or 476 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City, etc. That's to give sense of 477 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: folks a sense of just how big that despair. But yeah, 478 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: in New York in DC are expensive city, so they 479 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: have a very The journo class has a skewed view 480 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: of what actually being well off and being able to 481 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 1: pay your bills looks like, no doubt, and also there's 482 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: no doubt that the people who have the most to 483 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: lose from inflation are the people who have to spend 484 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: all of their money that they earn to live because 485 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: you're actually seeing the price come out of your paycheck. 486 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: I was talking with my father in law about this. 487 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: He was at the house over the weekend while Laura 488 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: and I, my wife, were traveling, and he was saying, 489 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: every single thing that he's buying he owns a meat 490 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: packing plant in the Detroit area. Every single thing that 491 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: he's buying is the prices of skyrocket. He was like trays, 492 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: metal trays that used to cost nothing. The cost for 493 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: those now, for instance, in his business, are going through 494 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: the roof.

Miranda Divine, if you 529 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: haven't been paying attention to all of the sudden acknowledgement 530 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: that the Hunter Biden laptop was real, where Miranda Divine 531 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: wrote an entire book, Laptop from Hell on this. I 532 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: said earlier that I thought Hunter Biden would end up 533 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: facing charges. Buck disagreed. We have a steak bet on it, 534 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: and and we'll see what which side of that bet. Miranda. 535 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, if they have that fancy Japanese 536 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: prefecture stuff going on, don't think I won't pull the 537 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: trigger on that. Travis also Seth Dylan by the way, 538 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,959 Speaker 1: who runs the Babylon b which is a great funny 539 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: satire site. They have been locked their Twitter account has 540 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: over the fact that they criticized Pen's transgender swimmer Leah Thomas. 541 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: Will Thomas as a male swimmer switches to Leah and 542 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: becomes a female. I don't even know at this point, 543 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: Buck the career now of this swimmer is over. But 544 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: the report was that there was going to be an 545 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: attempt to make the US women's Olympic team, and so 546 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: you find only had some athletes start to speak out 547 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: against this, and we'll see where that heads. But I'm 548 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: curious what is going on with Seth Dylan and how long. 549 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 1: What happens is if you put up a tweet that 550 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: Twitter doesn't like that, if that violates their rules, they 551 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: demand that you delete it. What you said, by the way, 552 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: it could get you banned from Twitter. You know that, right? Yeah? 553 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: Just saying Will No, just saying Will Thomas band. They 554 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: call this dead naming on the left, which is where 555 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: you are using a transperson's former name from their previous gender, 556 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: and that under Twitter terms of service, can get that alone? 557 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: Can so if you just said so? Even with Chris Jenner. 558 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: If you know Caitlyn Jenner. By the way, you can 559 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: change your name. I'm fine with that. But even of course, 560 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: but even noting someone's previous name is called dead naming. 561 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: You're not allowed to do it. So saying Will Thomas 562 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: was a swimmer, which is an accurate fact, at the 563 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: University of Pennsylvania and was on the win then the 564 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 1: pen men's swimming team, and then made the decision to 565 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: change his name to Leah Thomas and become a and 566 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: that would get you band on Twitter potential. You just 567 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: dead named. And I'm so angry, I'm literally shaking right now. 568 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: But you it's funny about the dead naming concept is 569 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: so ridiculous. But what is wild about this buck in general, 570 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: is you can't tell the story of why this is 571 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: a big deal without telling the story of Will Thomas 572 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 1: being a male swimmer. First, because if Will Thomas had 573 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: just been a regular dude at U penn and had 574 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: decided to become a woman, he would never have been 575 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: able to compete at a high level in women's swimming, right, probably, Yeah, 576 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: the women's swimmers at these schools would swim faster than 577 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: you and me, for example, by a lot I mean, 578 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: I'm a lot, I am an awful swimmer. I would 579 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 1: lose by like minutes. So the idea that you can't 580 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: say the name will Thomas makes telling the story of 581 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: Leah Thomas and why it's significant in the world of 582 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: sports impossible. But isn't that the point. You can't tell 583 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 1: the story the way that you would tell it based 584 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: on fact Clay, you have to tell the story the 585 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: way they insist you tell the story. Yeah, I mean, 586 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: it's such a ridiculous policy to put in place, particularly 587 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: in the world of athletics, where a man becoming a 588 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: woman's athlete is frankly the antithesis of all competition in general. 589 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: I think we have a call uh that wants in 590 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: female d an actual female D one swimmer Cindy and 591 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: a z Arizona also known as thanks for calling in, Hey, 592 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: thanks for having me guys. It's it's wonderful to talk 593 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: to you. And I'm so glad you're you're speaking out 594 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: about this, because not enough people are. I'm telling you so, 595 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: I swam competitively through high school and in college, and 596 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: there was no way we could compete against the men's team. 597 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: We trained with them, but there's no way we could 598 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: we could be better than them, just be just because 599 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: of biologies. Where did you swim, Cindy I swim at USC, 600 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: University of Southern California. Okay, so what do you think? Yeah? 601 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 1: But what what what would you think if you were, 602 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: I know, you take yourself back in time, if when 603 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: you were swimming suddenly a member of the USC men's 604 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: team had decided you become a women's swimmer and had 605 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 1: started immediately became the best women swimmer on your team. 606 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 1: How do you think the girls would react back then? 607 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 1: And what do you think many of the girls are 608 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: thinking now? We would We would not We would have 609 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: had none of it, none of it. We would have 610 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: all stood up and fought for our rights as females, 611 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: biological females, not just want to be females. And it's 612 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 1: it's not fair, I mean especially what people don't know 613 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: about about swimming in general is that when you're ten 614 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: and under, six, seven, eight, nine years old, the girls 615 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: times to make like state meets and what have you, 616 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,040 Speaker 1: are faster, harder to make than the voice times. But 617 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 1: when we hit puberty, the rules change, everything changes because 618 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: those voys take on testosterone, They take on muscle bulk 619 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: way bigger, faster than the girls, and they're times then 620 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: start to get faster than the girls times, so it 621 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: harder to make these meats. But when my daughter was 622 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: swimming and she made state at nine years old, and 623 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 1: and the little boy whose parents sat I sat next 624 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,439 Speaker 1: to you, said oh, well Eli just made it too, 625 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: And I'm like, what, how do you know? He sam 626 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: the second and slower than my daughter did. Well, they're 627 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: qualifying times that I didn't even pay attention to boys 628 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: qualifying times that didn't have a voye swimming. But they 629 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: were way easier back then. But once they hit puberty, 630 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: yeahs are often everything changes. And if Leah Thomas, as 631 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: now calls herself, is six foot four, how much difference 632 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 1: would there be, leave aside the biology just being that 633 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: much bigger as a swimmer, longer arms, longer legs. That 634 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,879 Speaker 1: has a tremendous competitive advantage standing alone, even taking away 635 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,720 Speaker 1: the testosterone right which is partly becoming a reality because 636 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: of biology. Yeah, I'm a foot talent. Many of the 637 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 1: female stormers were also tall, but not six four. I 638 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: never saw an old woman that was six four. I 639 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: just I just I'm just so upset and after the 640 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: win of that five hundred free and nobody cheered for him, 641 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: and they went all crazy for the second place female. Yes, 642 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: and which is rightly so. But I'm just I'm just 643 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: mind boggled by the nc TUA and then getting just 644 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: so wrong. This call is so wrong for us girls 645 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: and females across the board, not just in swimming thing, 646 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: every sport. This is going to happen across the board, 647 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: and something's got to change. I mean, one year, three 648 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: years of testosterone suppression, it does nothing doesn't change. Yeah, 649 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 1: we know, Cindy. Thank you so much for sharing your 650 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: perspective all this. Appreciate your listening.
