1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Second hour of Clay and Buck starts. Now, everybody, thanks 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: for listening all across the country. To tweet or not 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: to tweet? That is the question for well a lot 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: of people, former President Trump among them. It was announced 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: on was it Saturday? I think it was Saturday that 6 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: Elon Musk has officially invited former President Trump back to Twitter, 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: which just brings back great memories for people like Clay 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: me because I remember waking up. I think at one 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: point Trump retweeted my account five times in a row, 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: which was amazing because I saw all these C list 11 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: actors that I kind of vaguely remember from the nineties 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: being like whatever, like you know, Buck sexy Man, Like 13 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: you don't know anything, You're an idiot. I was like, wait, why, 14 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: why all of a sudden, is you know, Henchman number 15 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: three from Blood Sport five telling me that I'm a 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: bad person? Oh, because Trump retweeted me. So that kind 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: of stuff would happened. It was always, and it would 18 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: happen very early in the morning. The first thing you'd 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: be like, who did I upset? Who did I anger about? That? 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: He was Buck? I said this for a while. I 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: had early morning sports talk radio six to nine am Eastern, 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: So I'm up at like five to thirty in the 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: morning East coast for thirty in Central time here. You know, 24 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: when you hit your like Twitter feed people you follow, 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: and there's like nothing updating, you know, because everybody's gone 26 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: to bed for the most part. It would be like 27 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: Trump was the only person that early in the morning 28 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: that would be posting new things, and and so we oftentime, 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: and a lot of times they had sports related connections. 30 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: We were reacting to it. He was setting the agenda. 31 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: He was up so early in the morning before most 32 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: of the media. He made Twitter something that was a 33 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: necessity if you were covering news and politics really globally, 34 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: but certainly in America, you had no choice, yes, but 35 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: to at least have a familiarity with it because of 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: former President Trump. It was never the case, you know, 37 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: other politicians, you know, Obama was on Twitter, but it 38 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: was always very clear that other politicians used Twitter as 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: essentially a big email list for their public pronouncements, essentially 40 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: their press releases in short form via Twitter. With Trump, 41 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: it was like you had attached a little microchip into 42 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: his brain, into his phone, and boom, the American people 43 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: got to have a direct connection to the candidate in 44 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, and then the president for four years, 45 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: which was remarkable. But so there are huge implications to 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: this and a lot of variables at play. For one thing, 47 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: we know that Trump has truth social I'm on Truth 48 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: plays on Truth, which is a nascent social media platform, 49 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: so it's it's growing. We've had Devin Nunas on before, 50 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: who's the CEO. But the whole point of truth really 51 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: seemed one. It's free speech. Yes, that's true. And there 52 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: are these others as Well's Parlor and there's get or 53 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: there are a number of them. The problem is there's 54 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: probably only going to end up being one, and everyone 55 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: knows alt when I say only being one. There may 56 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: be some need for those others in some capacity, but 57 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 1: there's gonna be one dominant platform and then some other 58 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: platforms that are more niche Friday, CBS News. This was hilarious. 59 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: Did you see this, Clay. They did give a sense 60 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: of how powerful the Twitter platform already is right now 61 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: in this business and in politics in America. They said 62 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: they were halting their posting on Twitter out of caution 63 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: because Elon Musk runs it now play clip two, in 64 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of an 65 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: abundance of caution, CBS News is pausing its activity on 66 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform, 67 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: pausing so they can monitor the platform. Good heavens, we've 68 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: gotten word that the Trump is back. Who else? A 69 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: bunch of people have gotten their platfect project veritass the 70 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: Babylon BB is back. A number of them are back now. 71 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: And now this also comes at a really interesting time 72 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: for the social media platforms. And understand that these this 73 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: has been an area of enormous advantage for Democrats that 74 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: I think has very much affected elections. So that's a 75 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: part of this as well. So even if we're not 76 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: all because I know very few of our people listening 77 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: right now are really active on Twitter. I mean by percentages, 78 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: maybe five percent of this audience roughly, I'm guessing, but 79 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: something like that. But it affects every every website you read, 80 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: every newspaper, every politician, they're all battling and and you know, 81 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: tweeting on a regular basis. Facebook is a fraction of 82 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: what it used to be in terms of engagement utility, 83 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: and this is why the stop was stocked down eighty 84 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: percent or something. Yea, Spacebook's gotten crushed. Yeah, some of 85 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: it's for the metaverse stuff, but it's just become unwieldy. 86 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: YouTube is a left wing collective that will not allow 87 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: for free speech. It's owned by Google, which is owned 88 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: by Alphabet TikTok. I just saw Senator Tom Cotton say 89 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: over the weekend like it's basically a Chinese spying operation. 90 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: Get everybody you know off of TikTok. I want to 91 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: dig into that a little more. That seems I don't know. 92 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: I want to know more of the details. But this 93 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: may be the only major social media platform it existence 94 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: Clay where there is a true, free and fair exchange 95 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: of ideas going on, which makes it even more valuable 96 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: and more central. What Elon Musk is doing right now 97 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: is showing true gravery, because first of all, he put 98 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: up a poll to allow people to vote on whether 99 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: Trump should be re allowed back on the platform, and 100 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: I don't fifteen million people ish voted in that poll, 101 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: if I remember it correctly, and fifty two percent voted yes, 102 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: forty eight percent voted no. And what I think is 103 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: significant about that voting buck is remember forty eight percent 104 00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: of people were not saying, no, I don't want Donald 105 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: Trump back on Twitter, or I don't sorry, I don't 106 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: want him back as president or something. They were saying 107 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: Donald Trump shouldn't be allowed to share his opinions on Twitter. 108 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: And this is just something that I fundamentally reject, and 109 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: I think it's so important for Elon Must to be 110 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: standing on the principle of free speech here. I'm not 111 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: sure that Trump being back on Twitter, if he decides 112 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: to reclaim his account, is going to be beneficial to 113 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: him at all. In fact, I think it might benefit Democrats, 114 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: but he is beneficial. Can I just wait, can we 115 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: put a pause in what is beneficial? Just because they're 116 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 1: actually some of them, some of them are saying, Who's 117 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: I don't know who Rachel Bade is? Do you know 118 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: Rachel Bade? I don't know that he says Trump back 119 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: on Twitter? This is clip three gift for Democrats eighty three. 120 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: I mean it keeps changing. A million followers that have 121 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: been restored on Twitter, on trus Social, which is his own, 122 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: and he owns the platform. He's got a fraction of that, 123 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean, truths or whatever they call it, and nobody 124 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: that's exactly why I think a lot of people expect 125 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: him back on Twitter. He loves the attention, right, and 126 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: talk about a gift to Democrats. I mean, I remember 127 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: covering Paul Ryan when Trump would tweet all the time 128 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: from the White House and we would chase Paul Ryan 129 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: around the halls and US Republicans comment on this controversial 130 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: comment that Trump just made, and they would spend all 131 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: their days trying to dodge all these questions. But for 132 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: Democrats it's great. They can pull that up to their 133 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: voters and say, look at the Republican Party, we are 134 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: the adults at the table. So they're saying they want 135 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: him on Twitter. Yeah, which is why I think it's 136 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: so fascinating. As a general principle, I think as a 137 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: as a as a country that decides who our leaders are, 138 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: we should want the leaders to speak as widely as 139 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: they can, to share with us both their personality and 140 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: the principles on which they would stand. So the idea 141 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: that you can take, even when he's the democratically elected 142 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: president of the United States and just ban him on 143 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: Twitter is something that I reject out of hand. And 144 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: I would say the same thing which most Democrats would 145 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: not even if Trump had been a Democrat, or even 146 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: if the Democrats somewhere down the line end up with 147 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: a candidate who uses Twitter in a manner similar to Trump, 148 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: and that would not stun me, by the way, if 149 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: that ended up happening at some point in the future, 150 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: I just don't know. I kind of agree with that commentator, 151 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: buck I think Trump. Here's my big concern about Trump 152 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. The election must be a referendum 153 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: on Joe Biden's failures, particularly if Joe Biden is the 154 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: candidate himself, but even if he is not, Democrats had 155 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: control of the government and they failed on basically all fronts. 156 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: I mean, Trump doesn't allow himself to be anything other 157 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: than the story. And so I think if Trump wins, Bucket, 158 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: will be just like what we saw in twenty sixteen, 159 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: and just like we saw in twenty twenty, all of 160 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: us will be up all night long and they'll be 161 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: counting ballot's unfortunately in Nevada and Arizona and Georgia and 162 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 1: everywhere else, and we won't know who won this election 163 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: till we find out how one hundred thousand people's decisions. 164 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: I think, I think if this turns on Biden's failures. 165 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: We lose full stop. If we went through this. They 166 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: stink at everything, Clay. The economy stinks, inflation highest and 167 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: forty years, gas prices, high, crime, out of control, wide 168 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: open border, teaching kids who are ten that they should, 169 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: you know, cut off their private parts because of the 170 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: trans agenda agenda, Like, we went through all of this, 171 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: and what did people they went in they said, oh, 172 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, this Republican candidate seems a little extreme 173 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: to me, so I'm gonna vote. You know, we went 174 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: through this. I think the only way that the failure 175 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: of the Democrats thing works if we go into a 176 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: brutal recession starting in the middle of next year. Some 177 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: people say, we're already basically in the early phases of 178 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: that recession. We go into a brutal recession, then the 179 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: party in power gets punished and it doesn't even really matter. 180 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: But if it's kind of this status quo, yeah, or 181 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: four in case down twenty thirty percent, yeah, inflations, you know, 182 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: four or five percent, they wanted to be one or 183 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: two per You know, if it's that, it's gotta be 184 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: a vision man, right, Like it's gotta be we're gonna 185 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: do a better job on the fire points. But what 186 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying is you sell they've failed, and here's what 187 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: we're gonna do different. I don't think Trump does that, 188 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: And I would just point out, even though we're super disappointed, 189 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: we went from the tally in twenty twenty showing Biden 190 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: winning by seven million votes to the tally on the 191 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: midterms showing that we won by around four million votes. 192 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: Is the number that I've seen most recently nationwide. Right, 193 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: So that's an eleven million vote swing in the direction 194 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: of Republicans. Now, what's frustrating is it didn't translate to 195 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: a landslide, red wave tsunami. But I think for most 196 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: people out there, if you had told them the data was, hey, 197 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna get four million more votes. I think the challenge, 198 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: one of the big challenges in twenty twenty four is 199 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: going to be COVID made red redder and blue bluer. 200 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: So the number of places that are actually willing to shift, 201 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: like Florida is in the Camp four Republicans right like, 202 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: and Republicans are gonna win it by maybe six seven 203 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: eight points. It's not gonna be remotely close, you know, 204 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: Texas is in the Republican camp. Why right, this election 205 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: is going to come down to six states we can 206 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: already tell you Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. 207 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: Those six states, I think are the only ones that 208 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: are actually in play. Maybe you can toss in New 209 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: Hampshire if you have the right candidate, maybe you made 210 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: a seventh state in play up there, But by and large, 211 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: this is a seventh state election. Who's the candidate that 212 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: can win in four out of those seven states? I 213 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: think that's a question Republicans have to ask themselves. And 214 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: as we all know, I mean, two months feels like 215 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: an eternity in a political election cycle. So two years, 216 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: who knows? Who knows what's gonna happen. I mean a 217 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: lot that's the other a lot of we're talking about. 218 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: You say, for example, my whole premise about about Biden 219 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: running again is based on, you know, he's healthy enough, 220 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: meaning that you can kind of walk around and shuffle 221 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: and do it. If if he can do what he 222 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: currently does, he's running and he's going to be formidable 223 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: because of the way that Democrats have built a system. 224 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: But of course he's at an age where, you know, 225 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: God forbid, but he's an age where real stuff, real 226 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: stuff happens. By the way, Trump also is at an 227 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: age where his health. You know, look I saw him Friday. 228 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: He's robust, he's fired up, he's ready for right, He's 229 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: a much better shaped than Biden. But I'm just saying, 230 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: you know, look, we're talking about a few years, a 231 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: couple of years out here, and and a lot can change. 232 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: And I just think that, you know, one of the 233 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: great one of the huge advantages of the Democrats had 234 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: is that the economy. Everyone I talked to says, who 235 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: knows the economy? Right, I dinner with a dinner with 236 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: a friend last night down here in Miami, who knows 237 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: macroeconomic cycles and has made a lot of money because 238 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: he predicts them correctly. And he's like, next year is 239 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: going to be brutal economically. Yes, Now, if that had 240 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: happened in summer fall of twenty twenty two different. So 241 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: I just think there's all these you know, external externalities 242 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: or these additional factors that will come into it. Twitter, though, 243 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: to get us back to the very beginnings of this, 244 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: it's tough to know whether Twitter, whether Trump on Twitter 245 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,559 Speaker 1: overall helps him, helps the Republicans or helps the Democrats 246 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: more on a net basis, because it's a lot, a 247 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of ups and downs of it, right, 248 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean, when when they're gleeful, when Democrats are gleeful 249 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: about the prospect of constantly talking about Trump's tweets, that 250 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: should be some kind of a sign. But by the 251 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: same token, without that, they're able to set the net. 252 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: This is the part that I think we forget. Without that, 253 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: they were able to set the narrative a lot more 254 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: going into this election because they just have so many 255 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 1: more artillery pieces, so to speak, on the battlefield of 256 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: information warfare than we do. So that you know, it's 257 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: it's tough to tough to gauge this. I think in 258 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: a lot of ways. I think it's it's going to 259 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: be interest you see it. Finally, you think he goes 260 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: on now, well, since you like predictions, I just think 261 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: it's hard for him not to. I think so too, right, 262 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: if I think there's no way he can avoid it. 263 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: If you like attention and you knew that eighty five 264 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: million people are going to react to every single word 265 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: that you put out there, I just I think it's 266 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: hard for him. Not the Evon must put up a 267 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: couple of funny memes of Trump like trying to resist 268 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: Resist Twitter, and I just think it's so And I 269 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: saw even Donald Trump Junior retweeted one of them. I 270 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: just think it's so tantalizing to him that ultimately he 271 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: won't be able to so as I saw. I saw 272 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: Don Junior Friday as well talked him for a while, 273 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: not even the least bit phased. I mean, this is once, 274 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: once you've been in that in that role, once you've 275 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: been a member of the Trump family for the first administration, 276 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: you're ready for the fight. Whatever. The fight is pretty amazing, 277 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: There's no doubt, there's no doubt. I want to tell 278 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: you about the chairs that Bucket myself often are sitting 279 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: in in our home offices as we are working preparing 280 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: for the show.

Welcome back in Clay Travis 303 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. Giving a little headness up of where 304 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: we're headed. Lauren Bobert, congresswoman from Colorado, reelected going to 305 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: be with us in about what seven or eight minutes. Also, 306 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: in the third hour of the program, both Buck and 307 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: me are obsessed, obsessed with this Iowa, Idaho murder. Four 308 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: college kids brutally slain. They can't figure out who is 309 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: to blame. We will get an update from Nancy Grace, 310 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: who is all in as you well can imagine, on 311 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: this story, and we'll talk about it a little bit 312 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: more if you're not familiar with it in the third 313 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 1: hour before we discuss it with Nancy Grace. But we 314 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: were talking in the last segment Buck about Elon Musk 315 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: and Twitter. I would give him and I wouldn't give 316 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: him an A plus because I don't like the selling 317 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: of the blue checks because it's made Twitter a little 318 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: bit harder for me personally.

Just to use, like in terms 320 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: of being able to see what like if I want 321 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: to see something that you've tweeted that you tagged me in, 322 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to keep up. You put up a 323 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: picture of you and your fiance and me and my wife. 324 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: I didn't see it for like two days, so somebody 325 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: else tagged it, so it's not as easy to use. 326 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: But I would give him an A on an A 327 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: plus scale so far and what he's done, it's amazing 328 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: to watch all these journos who majored in communications, gender studies, 329 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: and you know, other entirely irrelevant disciplines lecturing the literal 330 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: richest man in the world about how to run a 331 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: company to it's gonna shut down.

Tuttle radio dot Com. 356 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: Welcome back to play Travis at Buck Sexton Show. You 357 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: have a likely seen if you've been following some of 358 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: the news from of the weekend, the story of this 359 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: horrific shooting in Colorado Springs at a nightclub and LGPTQ nightclub. 360 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: I believe five people were killed and immediately and this 361 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: is just what we see now in these incidents, instead 362 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: of even allowing for a day of just grieving as 363 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 1: a nation for a horrific, violent event like this, and 364 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,719 Speaker 1: a serious look at anything that could be done from 365 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: a security perspective, How could the things be likely averted 366 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: or minimized in the future. What is possible to do? 367 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 1: And sometimes those conversations can be very unsatisfying in the 368 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: sense that there is evil in this world, then there 369 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: will be people who choose to do evil, regardless of 370 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: what the laws may be, regardless of what law enforcement 371 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: programs are in place. Sometimes there's an idea to address it, 372 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: and sometimes there is. There is not much that comes 373 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: from it, but instead it immediately it immediately turns into 374 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: a point scoring political exercise for many pundits, for many 375 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: people in the news, and it's gross. And the way 376 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: that they do this now is something called stochastic terrorism. 377 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: They'll call it so chastick just so you know, you'll 378 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: see this popping up and people who want to appear 379 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: smarter than they are and the media will throw this 380 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: term around. So chastick comes from stochasticity, which is a 381 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: term from statistics, and it's effectively random probability distribution. So 382 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: if you look at at a Petrie dish with bacteria 383 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: in it, where will they go first and how fast 384 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: will they grow? Mathematically you can't really tell, so you'll say, well, 385 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: there's a random probability distribution at work. Now, I'm not 386 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: a stats guy, but that's a very lay person view 387 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: of what stochasticity is. But when they say stochastic terrorism, 388 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: what they're talking about is using a form of emotional 389 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: blackmail against people. They'll say, well, this event that happened, Okay, 390 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 1: the Nancy, let's take it away from the horrific event 391 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: of Colorado Springs. Let's look at the Nancy Pelosi's husband 392 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: attack situation. People were saying that was, you know, whether 393 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: it was politicians, people in the media, that was stachastic terrorism, 394 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: because they say, well, what exactly was the inciting moment, 395 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: what connection is there to anybody on the mainstream right, 396 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: or why did this happen in this way at this time. Well, 397 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: there's no actual connection to anybody in the Republican party 398 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: or anybody that you incited this specific act. And so 399 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: they say, well, it's just an environment. It's just a 400 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:20,719 Speaker 1: general sensibility out there that you are responsible for if 401 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: you're a Republican, if you're a conservative. But that this 402 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: environment created this instance of schastic terrorism, it removes any 403 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: sense of causality, and it's just a means of saying, 404 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: clay your side, I'm going to hold your side responsible 405 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 1: for this, right, I'm going to hold your people responsible 406 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: for this, and we have to see this for what 407 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: it is. I mean, when there are incidents. Here's a 408 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: perfect example, when a Bernie Sanders supporter named James Hodgkinson 409 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 1: takes a rifle and tries to murder shoot Steve Scalise 410 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 1: tries to murder Senator Rampaul tries to kill as many 411 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: Conservative members of Congress as possible. The stochastic terrorism narrative 412 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: would be every Democrat, every Democrat is responsible for creating 413 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: that environment encouraging that they should all be asked to 414 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: condemn it. If they don't condemn it enough, you have 415 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: to ask if they sympathize with it. That's what the 416 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: stochastic terrorism narrative is. Of course, that never applies to Democrats. 417 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: It only applies to any time it can be set 418 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: at the feet of the right in some way. And 419 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: this is yet again over the weekend. You see this 420 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: somehow you know, every conservative is responsible, in the eyes 421 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: of the left, through stochastic terrorism for this horrific mass 422 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: shooting that occurs in Colorado Springs. There's no basis in rationality, 423 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: reality and causality for this, but it's emotionally very effective 424 00:23:54,119 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: for people. Look, I think we need to all do regularly, 425 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: and this is what I would hope would happen in 426 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Maybe it's too optimistic. We need like 427 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: a national probability and statistics expert, because I believe you 428 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: were one of the first people I saw and then 429 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: saying this buck And then I went and looked into it, 430 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: and I said, this is fascinating. If we eliminated every 431 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: mass shooting as it is defined in America today, ninety 432 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: nine percent of murders would still be occurring in this country. 433 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: So the question that I have for everyone out there, 434 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: and I think it's a really good one, And I 435 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: think this is an example of where the media is failing. 436 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: The media shows up every time there's a mass shooting 437 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: and covers it as if it is the overarching problem 438 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: that exists in America today. Everybody out there listening, which 439 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: is nobody got murdered, right, Everybody is anti death when 440 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: it comes to people dying from violent means, all right, 441 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: What makes more sense to constantly show up when there's 442 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: a mass shooting and pretend that it's representative of violence 443 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: in America or every weekend in Chicago or Philadelphia or 444 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: Atlanta or New York City. Sometimes certainly Houston, many different 445 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: big cities out there that have been seeing skyrocketing rates 446 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: of murder that almost entirely get ignored. What would be 447 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: a more accurate representation of covering violence in America and 448 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: the dangers to Americans? Would it be showing up at 449 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: a mass shooting site and arguing, oh, Republicans are responsible 450 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: for all of this, or recognizing that the reality is 451 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: mass shootings, mass murders are occurring in all of our 452 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: cities every day and the number one way to reduce murders. Remember, 453 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: if we did away with every mass shooting in America, 454 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: nine of them would still be occurring. This is my issue, 455 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: buck with It's so frustrating to me the way that 456 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: police misconduct gets covered. As if we eliminated I wish 457 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: we could every single issue of police misconduct in America. 458 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: You know what would happened to the actual murder rate? 459 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: It would not even be noticeably different, right, because we 460 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: focused on these arbitrary and not representative outlier issues and 461 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: we miss the larger substance of it. Black Lives Matter 462 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: is a great example book. They all rush out in 463 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: the streets to protest. Really, Black Lives Matter needs the 464 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: parenthetical added to it. Black lives matter when white people 465 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: are involved in any way with a black life ending, 466 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: But when a black life is taken by another black life, 467 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: which is ninety four percent or ninety three percent of 468 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: all black murders, gets almost no attention or coverage at all. 469 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: It's a failure of reality, a failure of truth in 470 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: favor of narrative. And that's what we see every single 471 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: time with these shootings. And there's also something that is 472 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: really ugly, and I would even argue socially destabilizing about 473 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: the main streaming of a narrative, which is what is 474 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: going on on a regular basis. Now that if you don't, 475 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: for example, go Joe Biden, what does he talk about 476 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: right away? What is Joe Biden's first thing? As soon 477 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: as this attack happens, before we've even gotten into the 478 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: motives or or the investigation, Biden says, while no motive 479 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: in this attack is yet clear, we know that the 480 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: LGBTQ community has been subjected to horrific hate violence in 481 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: recent years, and also goes on to talk about a 482 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:36,239 Speaker 1: banning assault rifles. Right, this is the conversation. But what 483 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: the left does and what the Democrat party does is 484 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: convince itself, convince its supporters that the people who don't 485 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: want to go along with the politicized prescription in the 486 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: aftermath of this, that wouldn't have stopped this, that wouldn't 487 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: they're actually part of the evil here too. There's a 488 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: demonization of half the country that occurs very regularly in 489 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: the aftermath of incidents like this, and it has to 490 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: fit a very specific narrative. A group that the left 491 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: identifies as one of its protected groups and that is 492 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: generally targeted. So a group that is that is often 493 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: victimized and hate crimes or through oppression, whatever the framework 494 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: may be for it. And then it's do what we 495 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: say politically after this, or you're part of the problem. Right, 496 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: And this is deeply intellectually, and I would also argue 497 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: morally disingenuous and wrong, and this is what ends up. 498 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: This is what ends up happening, Unfortunately, after every time 499 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: there's a an incident like this, Yeah, we have to 500 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 1: keep calling it out. Unfortunately, because it keeps happening so much. 501 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: We're scheduled war schedule talk with Larren Bobert Congress Holman. 502 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: We'll see if we get her on Nancy Gray schedule 503 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: join us in the third hour we come back. Buck 504 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: used to coach high school soccer. I put up a 505 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: poll about how many people care about the World Cup, 506 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: which actually starts in fifteen minutes, what is going to 507 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: happen over in Qatar, And there's actually a pretty incredible 508 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: thing that's already occurred, what Iranians were willing to do 509 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: to stand up to their country, the soccer players. We'll 510 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: talk about that in a moment, but first you see 511 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: this study the other day. Fifty percent of testosterone level 512 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: in men has collapsed over the last fifty years. If 513 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: you wonder whether the Biden White House the men there 514 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: have the lowest levels of testosterone of any leadership we've 515 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: ever seen, I think the answers yes, there is zeroed 516 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: out that the Biden White House is the least testosterone 517 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: filled white house for the men, for the men in 518 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: the history of our country, and that certainly has not 519 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: led to them doing a good job at all, which 520 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: is why I'd like to go ahead and send some 521 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: testosterone to them. I'd like for chalk to hook them up, 522 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,719 Speaker 1: give them some energy, vitality, some them some vigor to 523 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: be able to get through their days. Can make a 524 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: big difference. He's Buck Sexton, He's Clay Travis.

The World Cup 539 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 1: will start in like ten minutes before you talk with 540 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: the World Cup. Can I just I have a correction. 541 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: I needed some chalk today to increase my focus and 542 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: my energy as I was talking. It is stochastic, not 543 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: stochastic stochastic terrorism. But this is one of these moments 544 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 1: where I like to learn about things by reading. So 545 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: I've been reading about this all the time. I've actually 546 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: never heard the words said. I've only read it hundreds 547 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: and hundreds of times. So this is one of those. 548 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: And I be driven insane given how many words I mispronounced. 549 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 1: If you if you mispronounced so many words as me, 550 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: you wouldn't be I sleep at night. I hate getting 551 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: things wrong and I hate saying things wrong. Sony, I 552 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: just want to correct that. Now we can talk it. 553 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: So to Stochastic by the way, stochastic terrorist, he might say, well, 554 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: I was in the counter Terrorism Center of the CIA. 555 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: You know how many times I heard about that zero. 556 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: It is a new thing that they've taken from statistics 557 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: that they now talk about in the context of terrorism. 558 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: But yes, it is a hard, hard see and now Clay, sorry, 559 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: thank you for letting me correct that. And also I 560 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 1: be I could use some chalk chalk dot com, choq 561 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 1: dot com today the World Cup, sir, what do we got? So? 562 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: The World Cup starts in about ten minutes. US is 563 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: playing Wales and we are small favorite in this game. 564 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: Our group for people out there who may not be 565 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: paying attention is Iran, it is Wales, it is England 566 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: and the United States. So we play England, I believe, 567 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: on Friday, and then Wales sorry Iran to finish out 568 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: the group stage. Two of the four teams will advance 569 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: from the group. The Iranian team buck. I don't know 570 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: if you saw this. They refuse to sing along with 571 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: the national anthem of Iran, which is evidently a huge 572 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: tradition in their country. Every player refused to sing to 573 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: stand up for the people protesting against the Iranian government. Now, 574 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: this is actual, real bravery, unlike what we often refer 575 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: to in the United States when somebody takes a knee 576 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: for the national anthem and they end up getting a 577 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: shoe contract or their own television show. Like this is 578 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: potentially a something that could put some of these players 579 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: in prison. It could lead to violent acts against them 580 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: or their family. This is a pretty brave act. So 581 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: I think this is going to turn into a big 582 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: story internationally. But I asked people out there how they 583 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: thought the US would do in the World Cup, and 584 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: I also said I gave people an option. I don't care. 585 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: I hate soccer. This was a Twitter poll. What percentage 586 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: of my audience book In this poll, do you think 587 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: said I don't care I hate soccer of your audience, yes, 588 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 1: extremely enthusiastic SEC football fans. Sixty percent of them hate soccer. 589 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: Thirty seven percent said they don't care they hate soccer. 590 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: It's not about two thirds and they care. What percentage 591 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: of our audience listening right now do you think will 592 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: watch a World Cup game involving the United States men's 593 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: team of only ten? I think so see, I would 594 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 1: go because Friday, the game is happening on a holiday, 595 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: when a lot of people are at home looking for 596 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: things to do. I actually think something like half of 597 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: our audience will watch one of these games. I mean, 598 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: I would like to watch the US play England just 599 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: because the British are better than us at two things, 600 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: soccer and making crumpets, and this will upset them if 601 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: we are able to beat them, so that makes me 602 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 1: very happy. But we probably won't beat them, which is 603 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: the fast. This is the other part of it. I 604 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: want to root. I'm always rooting for America, but it's 605 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 1: hard to root for America and soccer because we tend 606 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: to do not well. As the men's team tends to 607 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: not do well. We talked about this before the show started. 608 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: You are watching with your brothers, and so you are 609 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: going to try to avoid completely what the results are 610 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: of this game until later in the afternoon. Yeah, but 611 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: I mean beating beating whales, Like, isn't that kind of 612 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: like beating the principality of Monaco or something. I mean, 613 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: let's be serious, folks, if it's whale is even really 614 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: a country? I know it is, don't People are like, yes, 615 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: it is, I mean kind of a small favorite. So 616 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have this game on. I'm gonna try not 617 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,919 Speaker 1: to react for the first half because the first half 618 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: is being played in the final hour of our game. 619 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: And I just I can't not watch Sports live. I 620 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: tried the DVR at everything else. My phone blows up. 621 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: People are texting me because they assume that I watch 622 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,440 Speaker 1: every sporting event, So I basically would just have to 623 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: turn my phone off and not allow myself to watch 624 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 1: it at all. So it's starting in about five minutes, 625 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: and uh, and I'm curious how that's gonna go to 626 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: your point though, on the Iranian on the Iranian team 627 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: not bit taking a stand because of the crackdown on 628 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 1: the protest that's been going on over there, and the 629 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: look Iran is a is a totalitarian theocracy. I mean 630 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: it's the government there is is evil and depressive, and 631 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: that is all very true. But when they do that, 632 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: they don't get a bigger Nike contract. They take a 633 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: risk they are actually going to suffer the consequences of 634 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: standing up for what they view is moral. In this country, 635 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: when we have athletes that are taking a knee or 636 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: that are so upset about the cops and they're wearing 637 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: the hoodies or whatever they're doing, their marketability goes up. 638 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: They get nothing but celebrity saying, look at how brave, stunning, 639 00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: and brave they are. So it's a very different thing 640 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: being a freedom fighter against the Iranian regime as an 641 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: Iranian that takes guts, a lot of guts. I've argued 642 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,760 Speaker 1: for a while, because this has been a big topic 643 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,839 Speaker 1: associated with sports, that true bravery requires at least one 644 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,439 Speaker 1: of two things, the risk of your life and well 645 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: being and or the rest of the risk of your liberty. 646 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: In the United States, Colin Kaepernick made far more money 647 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: by taking a knee than he would have by simply 648 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: continue to be a quarterback in the NFL. So the 649 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 1: reward structure actually is the opposite of bravery.
