1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody, third hour of Clay and Bumped. 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: Get's going right now. We've got a bunch of things 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about. Obviously, the shutdown 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: is coming to an end, longest shutdown in our history, 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: and the Democrats are trying to say they fought the 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: good fight. Really, they threw a temper tantrum and they 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: made people anxious, frustrated, and made people suffer, just because 9 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: Democrats like to do those things. They did not actually 10 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: achieve their main end, but we'll discuss that a bit 11 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: more coming up. We've also got the very very important 12 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: news that Clay reminded me of that Kim Kardashian, despite trying, 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: did not pass the California bar exam. I believe she's 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: tried a few times at this point but has not 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: yet passed it. So we're hoping, we're pulling for Kim 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: to pass the bar exam. I think, isn't she worth 17 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: the billion dollars? So this really is just like a 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: personal mountain that she is trying to climb. 19 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 2: I we'll get into this, but yes, she is. 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 3: She definitely does not need the money that might come 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: from practicing law in any way. 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: So that's not obviously an important story, but it's one 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: of those stories that people are going to be talking about. 24 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: So I just thought i'd let you know. She has 25 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: failed the bar exam three times already, but she's gonna 26 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: keep going. And you know what Clay a wise man 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: once said to me, Persistence is the key. Persistence is 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: the key, very very important. 29 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 3: A lot of people are making fun of her, and 30 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: I'll just say this, I think we should encourage people 31 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 3: to try. 32 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: To do hard things. 33 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 3: And it would be very easy, to your point, Buck, 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: when you become a billionaire, to just say, hey, I've 35 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: got everything I could possibly want. I'm not going to 36 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: try to push myself any further. And she decided she 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: wanted to try to become a lawyer, and she is 38 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 3: attempting to do it. I would point out who was 39 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: it that failed the bar of times? 40 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: JFK. Junior, I think if I remember correctly. 41 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well no one thought the JFK. Junior was 42 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: going to be a rocket scientist, so that's not surprising 43 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: for what But I mean he. 44 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: Went straight to law school. 45 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 3: I think they led him into Columbia or Harvard or 46 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: wherever the heck they did, completely irrelevant. 47 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: They let him in because of his last name. Yes, 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: he could be illiterate as a Kennady and they would 49 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: have led him into Harvard Law School and he continues 50 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: to trail. 51 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: So anyway, Well, I do think everybody's trying to poke 52 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: fun at her, but I give her credit for being 53 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 3: willing to try to do something super hard when she 54 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 3: could just chill and have an easy life. 55 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's important to always try 56 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: to work on yourself and to be willing to embrace 57 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: the humility that must come with that. So I'm actually 58 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: with you. I'm far less. I'm not you know, Oh 59 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: my gosh, how could you fill the bar? Exam. Good 60 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: for Kim Kardashian for trying, and hopefully at some point 61 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: she'll pass. On the other side of the gratitude scale, yes, 62 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: on the other side of that scale, we have the 63 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: former First Lady, Michelle Obama, who has a remarkable talent 64 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: for seeming just perpetually ungrateful and full of grievance, which 65 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: for somebody who has who was the First Lady for 66 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: eight years, I don't even know how many magazine covers, 67 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: has her pick of which billionaires three hundred million dollar 68 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: yacht she chooses to vacation with her daughter's on. I 69 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: don't know if you could find all in a more 70 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: privileged and elitist person on the planet, it would be 71 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: very hard, right, because you know, yeah, there's like like 72 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is worth a ton of money, but Elon 73 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: Musk is like sleeping on the floor of the Tesla 74 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: factory building. All this stuff big cost to his personal life. 75 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: Some people hate him obviouslyaks the allied with Trump. Michelle 76 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: Obama everywhere should go. She is worshiped, worshiped by elite's 77 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: aside and yet you when she talks about things like, 78 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: for example, how she needed to have a celebrity style 79 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: glam team when she was in the White House. This 80 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: is how she speaks of it, play eight. I didn't 81 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: really have that choices. 82 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 4: Firstly, every day every time I was up, as we 83 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: called it, you know, I was up for the public, yes, 84 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 4: and the days were long, so as you mentioned, to 85 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,799 Speaker 4: save time, you know, I know, having a glam team 86 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 4: a trifecta. It feels like a luxury, but it was 87 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 4: a times time necessity. There's absolutely no way that I 88 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: would be able to do my hair and make up 89 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 4: and have clothes ready at that fit. You know, because 90 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 4: where is the woman that can live off the rack? 91 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: I know a lot of women who live off the rack, 92 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: eight Clay, I know a lot. 93 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: Actually, Michelle Obama might be the person who should give 94 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 3: the country more gratitude than anyone that has the least 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: gratitude of anyone in public. 96 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: Eye that I can see. 97 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: And every time she speaks, I like her less. And 98 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: I don't think I'm unique in that she has been coddled, 99 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: She's been protected, she has been told that she is 100 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: incredibly accomplished and a uniquely transcendent figure, such that she 101 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: decided that she needed to start her own podcast. I 102 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 3: actually feel sorry for Barack Obama for having to deal 103 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 3: with her. 104 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: And let me explain why that is. I went off. 105 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 3: I might have gone off more on this than almost 106 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: anybody in the country. When she wasn't willing to show 107 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 3: up for Jimmy Carter's funeral, to me, it was such 108 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,239 Speaker 3: a personal slap in the face to every American. Look, 109 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 3: I understand you don't want to always have to go 110 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 3: to public events, but when you run for president, the 111 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 3: United States, or when you are married to the president 112 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 3: of the United States. There are certain moments that demand 113 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 3: to me that you show up and show the least 114 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 3: semblance of respect for the country that you could. Hillary 115 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 3: Clinton was at the funeral for Jimmy Carter. The Bushes 116 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 3: were at the funeral for Jimmy Carter. Certainly Trump and 117 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 3: Milania were there. It doesn't take a lot to be 118 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: willing to give a few hours of your time to 119 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 3: get on a private jet and fly somewhere, get off, 120 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: be respectful for a couple of hours. She didn't show 121 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 3: up for the inauguration of Trump Barack Obama. Did I 122 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 3: give him credit for that? She doesn't seem like a 123 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: person that would be fun to spend time with. Buck 124 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 3: and I just I look at this and instead of saying, 125 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 3: hey boy, you know I'm from I think the South 126 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 3: side of Chicago. If I'm not mistaken, I grew up 127 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: and I got to be the first lady of the 128 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 3: United States. I married the president. What is an incredible 129 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: story that is that you can be a kid from 130 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: the South Side of Chicago and you can grow up 131 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: to do this right. I mean, you know who's actually 132 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 3: leaned into that because I think he's also from the 133 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: South Side of Chicago. The Pope, the American Pope Leo. 134 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: He's talked. I've seen quite a lot about how amazing 135 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 3: it is that a kid who grew up on the 136 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 3: South side of Chicago could ascend to become the Pope. 137 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 2: I just every time. 138 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 3: Michelle Obama speaks, I think to myself, what a be 139 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,119 Speaker 3: careful here, you might need to turn down the radio. 140 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: What a bitch? What an ungrateful bitch. 141 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 3: Michelle Obama is unique among all of the first ladies 142 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 3: of different political parties. All she does is wine and 143 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: talk like, Hey, well i have to have a glam 144 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 3: squad or I'm not even gonna travel with my uh 145 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: with my wardrobe. 146 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: People, Oh I don't. 147 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: I don't wear a lot of things off the rack. 148 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 3: I wear everything off the rack. I know a lot 149 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 3: of women that wear things off the rack. Now, you 150 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 3: could come after me because I shouldn't, because you should say, oh, 151 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 3: you should have that better tailored. Oh why are your 152 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: pants drag Why are your sleeves too long? Those are criticisms. 153 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: The answer is because I just buy things off the rack, 154 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: and I'm not a diva, and I just I don't 155 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 3: get it. 156 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: I don't get it. 157 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 3: Every time she speaks Buck, I just think to myself, boy, 158 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 3: she had an opportunity. She reminds me of the US 159 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 3: women's soccer team. I think there's a lot of this. 160 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 3: I don't think it's just unique. 161 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: To her for left winging people. 162 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: Do you remember when Meghan Rauppino they were playing in 163 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: the World Cup and she just chose that opportunity to 164 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: take shots at President Trump said I'm not gonna go 165 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 3: to the White House, I'm not gonna visit, and then 166 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: she insulted him with expletives. And I'm thinking to myself, 167 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 3: you were on the national stage for young women everywhere 168 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: around the world who aspire to grow up and be 169 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 3: great soccer play like you. 170 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 2: How about a scintilla. 171 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 3: Of gratitude for the fact that you have this opportunity 172 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: and this left wing and I think it's primarily women, honestly, 173 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: which is the foundation of the Democrat Party. This left 174 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 3: wing hectoring, ungrateful, baseline bitchiness that is the Democrat Party. Buck, 175 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 3: I think it's why men are done with them. Every 176 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: man out there is like, yeah, I've had to deal 177 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 3: with that in my life. It's like every single Democrat 178 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: woman has got her finger out and she's lecturing you 179 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: all day long. And I think a lot of women 180 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 3: out there listening to us right now are nodding along. 181 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: It's like the whole party is just the most annoying 182 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 3: person at your job who's lecturing you about something that 183 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: she doesn't like that really isn't anything wrong at all. 184 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: Nothing has changed, by the way, in the apparent attitude 185 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: that Michelle Obama formerly Michelle Robinson has, you can easily 186 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: go find her Princeton thesis, which I read back in 187 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: the You told me it was just atrocious administration. It 188 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: is atrocious. It is absolutely brutal reading in terms of 189 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: you're like, what is this? But it's Princeton educated blacks 190 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: and the black community is her? What's her thesis? Does 191 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: anyone want to guess what it's about? The isolation and 192 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: the feelings of subtle racism you deal with as a 193 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: black student at Princeton. She wrote her thesis on this 194 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: her entire like her the peak, the pinnacle of her 195 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: academic life as an undergraduate was to write a hundred 196 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: page whine about how hard it was to be black 197 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: at Princeton, which, by the way, This was in the 198 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: heyday of firmative action. She probably got about three hundred 199 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: points worth of assistance on in terms of SAT comparison, 200 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: at least two hundred plus points to get into Princeton. 201 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 3: So said she could whine about being black at Princeton 202 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 3: is because she was black at Princeton and. 203 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: Being black and applying to Princeton at that time was 204 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: a particular privilege in the admissions process. So yes, that 205 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: is the great irony of this. Michelle Obama got into 206 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: Princeton in large part because she was a black woman. 207 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: And then she wrote a thesis about her heart it 208 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: was to be a black woman at Princeton, and that 209 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: kind of sums up the attitude. 210 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 3: I also think it sums up the legacy media in general, 211 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 3: the protect you see the I don't know that we 212 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: played this clip. 213 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: I think it was last week. It was going viral. 214 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 3: She was saying something like, oh, our family never got 215 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 3: the grace that other families got, and I saw that clip. 216 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 3: Maybe we can grab it before we finished the hour, 217 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 3: And I'm sorry, Buck. Do you remember, as I do, 218 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: the Bush Daughters getting destroyed by national media for relatively 219 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 3: minor teenager related infractions as if they were modern day, 220 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 3: you know, felons of an enormous magnitude. They got treated 221 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: basically this aim as Hunter. And by the way, how 222 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 3: about the Bidens. Now they did a lot, but Hunter 223 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: and all the other Biden kids got incredible negative media attention. 224 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: And Chelsea back in the day, I don't remember everybody 225 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 3: bending over backwards to. 226 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: Treat Chelsea really well. 227 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 3: And so you look at all the other kids, I 228 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 3: would say that the Obamas and their daughters got treated 229 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: more fairly than any children of the president have, regardless 230 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 3: of political party, in my whole life. And we know 231 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 3: we've had all these guys on the program. Do you 232 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 3: think the Trumps have been treated fairly like the kids? 233 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 3: I'm not talking about Trump himself. They would put them 234 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 3: in prison if they could, for sure, and they haven't 235 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 3: done anything wrong. Yes, all true. 236 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: Well, the Democrats tried to be clear they would It's 237 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: not just they would desire to put Trump family members 238 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: in prison. They made moves to do so. 239 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 2: Oh totally. Other people are. 240 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: Gonna say, oh, well, Hunter, yeah, committed about one hundred 241 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 3: felonies on his laptop. If you just click and went 242 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: and looked through any of Hunter's laptop he got insanely 243 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 3: favorable treatment. 244 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: I guess maybe it was all just Russian disinformation. That storywinding. 245 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 1: That's a joke, everybody. That's a joke. 246 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 3: Calm down, Calm down.

I mean, her family is now worth 275 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars, her husband was president twice. 276 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: Maybe just talk about how amazing it is that the 277 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: country allowed that to happen, and be grateful and be 278 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 3: willing to sometimes show up for public events, even if 279 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: it sometimes does not fit your Hawaiian beach vacation or 280 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 3: your Martha's Vineyard beach vacation. Maybe possibly just show a 281 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 3: little bit of sacrifice. 282 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: No, we don't get that. 283 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 3: Instead we get Michelle Obama falsely. I just laid out 284 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 3: all the different kids of presidents and the way those 285 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 3: families were treated, arguing we weren't given that same grace 286 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 3: that other people got. 287 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: Who does she think she is crazy? 288 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 3: Listen, you said we were all too aware that as 289 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 3: a first black couple, we couldn't afford any missteps. 290 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you also say as a black woman, I 291 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: was under a particularly white hot Claire, did you feel. 292 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 5: That for sure you can't afford to get anything wrong 293 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 5: because you didn't get the at least until the country 294 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 5: came to know us, we didn't get the grace that 295 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 5: I think some other families have gone. 296 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: I think that's the opposite of reality. Yes, I think 297 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,119 Speaker 1: that people were more excited, and there was and I was. 298 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: Just to be clear, I was living in DC at 299 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: the time. I was very much and I might have 300 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: even been invited. I was a single guy, okay, to 301 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: some Obama inauguration parties that were happening. I went as 302 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: a plus one. I was there. I'm just saying, wow. 303 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: You went to the Obama inauguration parties. 304 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: Just no, no, no, no, no, not the party. There were 305 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: parties in DC, and I was invited just because I 306 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: was a suave and handsome guy. Some of the ladies 307 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: were like, you got to come with me to this party. Look, 308 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that I don't like a 309 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: good party. My point is merely the fanfare around the 310 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: first family of the Obamas at the time was unlike 311 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: anything this country has ever seen in my lifetime. 312 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 3: I think you hit on what is particularly discordant about this. 313 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: It's not that she was treated unfairly. That the Obamas 314 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 3: were treated more fairly. They were given more grace than 315 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 3: probably any presidential family in history because everyone was treating 316 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: them as if they were godlike in the media. 317 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 2: I mean, even now. 318 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 3: Michelle Obama's overall favorability is high because most people don't 319 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 3: pay attention to what she actually says. They just like 320 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 3: the first Lady because the first Lady is supposed to 321 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 3: be above politics. But again, I just ran through all 322 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 3: the kids of the president since we started, basically since 323 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 3: like nineteen ninety two. I would argue Sasha and Melay 324 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 3: Obama were more fairly treated than any of them. 325 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: More I mean, they were the media if you and 326 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: by the way, I agree with the you you know, 327 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: kids under eighteen that are part of a you know, 328 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: first family, the attack totally off limits. And even the 329 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: kids if they're not involved in the public eye in 330 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: a real way, shouldn't be anyway, but they were all 331 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: worshiped and Michelle Obama's completely rewriting history and no surprise. Look, 332 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,679 Speaker 1: the first time you hear the statistic, it's unsettling, but 333 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: you got to know it. It's true every thirty seconds 334 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: on average as a burglary in America. So no matter 335 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: where you are across the country, it can happen, and 336 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: you've got to be ready to defend yourself and your family. 337 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: This is where Saber comes in the best non lethal 338 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: self protection tools on the market.

But all the talkbacks. Uh, 351 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: let's start with AA, a Balls reader. Let's hear go 352 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: here go Donna Augustine. She was at the beginning of 353 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: the shutdown. 354 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 6: There were two goals, both of which one was. 355 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: Saying no, no, I don't know what that was. Talkback AA, 356 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: Donna in Saint Augustine, Florida. She's a balls fan, and 357 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: we wanted to hear from Donna. 358 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 7: I've been reading the book Balls by Clay Travis. I'm 359 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 7: actually really enjoying it. Enjoyed the early part of the 360 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 7: story about your early career and the challenges and ups 361 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 7: and downs. You definitely have balls. I'm impressed and enjoyed 362 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 7: the story. I'm also enjoying things I thought I understood 363 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 7: in the news, but didn't understood how the dots connected. 364 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 7: So thank you. 365 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: So Clay. Is the book semi autobiographical I have. I 366 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: did buy my copy, and I know guy who could 367 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: probably get me a free one. But I bought my 368 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: copy and I have not yet had the chance to 369 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: dive into it, but I will. So tell me give 370 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: me a little little bit of a preview here. There's 371 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: some autobiographical components. 372 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean, how do you end up doing 373 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 3: what we do? I think if you trace the Trump era. 374 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: One of the things that I really examined in the book, 375 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 3: and I think historically is going to matter, is how 376 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 3: did we lose our way in sports in particular, but 377 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 3: also culture to the extent where we ended up and 378 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 3: congratulations the Olympics now are coming out and saying that 379 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: they're going to ban men who identify as women. But 380 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 3: how did we create a landscape where the book opens 381 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 3: with Leah Thomas winning a man winning a women's NCAA 382 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 3: swimming championship in twenty twenty two? 383 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: How did that happen? It wasn't overnight, it was gradual. 384 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 3: They tried to and this is one reason I'm talking 385 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 3: to you Buck today and why I've been talking to 386 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 3: everybody for the past several years. They tried to turn 387 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 3: sports into identity politics. 388 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 2: They tried to strip away the. 389 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 3: Meritocracy, and they tried to take away that from sports. 390 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: Best man or best woman wins and how did that happen? 391 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 3: How did we end up with a man winning a 392 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 3: women's championship? So the book kind of gets into the 393 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 3: history of that and traces the media evolution. And let 394 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: me say this, you guys have bought this thing to 395 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 3: such an extent that we are on the precipice of 396 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 3: for the first time ever, me being a New York 397 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,719 Speaker 3: Times bestselling author. 398 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 2: So they have flagged the. 399 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 3: Book and it's going to be like right on the 400 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: border of whether we end up on the Times List. 401 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: Now, look, we've been. 402 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: The last book I wrote was a Wall Street Journal bestseller, 403 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 3: Publishers Weekly, USA Today List, all of those things. But 404 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 3: the Times List is what gets a book in the 405 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 3: front of a bookstore. It's what gets people maybe to 406 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 3: engage with a book that they otherwise wouldn't. So I 407 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 3: have a lot of immense gratitude. Obviously, a lot of 408 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 3: people bought signed copies. 409 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: So far, so good. 410 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 3: It's been six days, so but you guys have bought 411 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 3: thousands and thousands of copies. And you know what else, 412 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 3: a lot of you have bought the audiobook. And Buck, 413 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, on your Christmas break, when you go 414 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 3: into that studio and you start recording it, you're gonna 415 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 3: be thankful for anybody who buys the audiobook, because recording 416 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 3: the book yourself is an incredible grind. Of an effort, 417 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 3: particularly because you're just in a room by yourself, and 418 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 3: every word they're fixing, they're making sure that you read 419 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 3: it correctly, and so to the extent you want more 420 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 3: from me, there is six over six hours of me 421 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 3: reading every word of this book. 422 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 2: And I'm betting it'll take you. It takes about. 423 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 3: Fifteen hours probably to record six, so a long time. 424 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot of fun. Now we have 425 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: this from Reuter's this morning, Clay. No decision yet on 426 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: transgender athletes games eligibility, IOC International Olympic Committee says, but 427 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: they are moving to Titan eligibility criteria in a shift 428 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: in sentiment that the IOC appears increasingly willing to get 429 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,479 Speaker 1: on board with. Did a you turn in June? I'm 430 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: reading again from the Reuters report here deciding to take 431 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: the lead and setting eligibility criteria or participation of transgender athletes. 432 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: Coventry set up the Protection of the Female Category Working Group. 433 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: This is really what we've come to. Protection of the 434 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: Female category, made up of experts as well as representatives. 435 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: An update. So what I'm seeing here, which is interesting 436 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: is that they know that this is going to be 437 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: preposterous and destroy the interest and love of the Olympics, 438 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: which the Olympics has been around for like three thousand years, 439 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: I think something like that. I think it's eight hundred 440 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: bcs around there. You had the first Olympics in ancient Greece, 441 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: so it has been a long time this thing's been 442 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: going on, right, It's actually one of our oldest cultural 443 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: traditions that I'm aware of. And they realized that some 444 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: three hundred pound guy that would be very big, some 445 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: two hundred pound guy setting the women's record and shot 446 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: put while he's like, you know, curling his beard is 447 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: probably going to hurt our sense as to how fair 448 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: this is. And yet now they're starting to say, well, 449 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: what about women who have the sry gene and the 450 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: Y chromosoon. 451 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: I want to be very clear. 452 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: The trans movement has explicitly thought against trans identification having 453 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: anything to do with chromosomes or anything else. Yes, But 454 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: now with the Olympics, they're trying to play this game 455 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: of oh, well, what about people that have this very 456 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: rare mutation. What's a whole On a second, that's not 457 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: when when Trump banned men playing women's sports, it's dudes 458 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: just say they're women that's what everyone's really talking about, 459 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: because if you make it about those chromosomes, the dudes 460 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: who say they're women don't count. So they're trying to 461 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: have it. But it looks to me a little bit 462 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: like they're trying to play both sides of this well. 463 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 3: Also, I don't think you can divorce from this decision 464 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 3: the fact that the Olympics are taking place, the Summer Olympics, 465 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 3: which is where this becomes, at least so far, the 466 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 3: biggest issue in LA. So Trump has already come out 467 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 3: and said, hey, this idea of men competing in women's sports. 468 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 1: Buck. 469 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 2: Did you see the powerlifter? 470 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 3: I mean, this dude is I mean it's a monster dude. 471 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: It's like the Mountain from Game of Thrones suddenly deciding 472 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 3: to identify as a chick. 473 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting that any. 474 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 3: Athlete that is pretending that he is female, we can 475 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 3: see a picture and pick out who the dude is. 476 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 2: I mean, it's difficult at all. Right, you see it? 477 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 3: And I shared that video with you recently of the 478 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 3: volleyball player. The guy looks like Kobe Bryant soaring through 479 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 3: the air to spike the volleyball. Women's volleyball nets are lower, 480 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 3: women's basketballs are smaller. The entire physics of the sport 481 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 3: is very often different. I can't believe that this is 482 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 3: where we are, that this is considered a victory. Remember 483 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 3: it was only a couple of years ago that the 484 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 3: dude boxer, two potential dude boxers won women's gold medals, 485 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 3: and now they won't take the gender test and they 486 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 3: don't qualify because and people say, well, this is really 487 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 3: unfortunate because it invades their privacy. 488 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: It's a cheek swab. 489 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 3: A cheek swab is how they do genetic analysis to 490 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 3: determine what your chromosomal breakdown is. Now, some of these guys, 491 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 3: we don't need cheek swabs. We could have crocodile done detests, 492 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 3: but cheek swab. It's not like you're having to disrobe 493 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 3: or there's some doctor like probing your physical body. They 494 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 3: just cheek swab you and you either are or or 495 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 3: not qualified to be a woman. And remember this is 496 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 3: only for men who identify as women. If biology wasn't real, 497 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 3: there'd be all these chicks deciding they were dudes competing 498 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 3: in the Olympics and competing in men's sports. Why isn't 499 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 3: that happening because biology is real and those women who 500 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 3: identify as men are nowhere near big, strong, or fast. 501 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: Enough to compete. 502 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: Isn't that interesting that you never have a female to 503 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 1: male transition who automatically gets a gold medal? Is almost 504 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: like we're proving the experiment in reverse. Right, we all 505 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: know what's going on here. But I've always thought that 506 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: this is what would happen, is that the moment that 507 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: they're really cornered on this issue, which is that they're 508 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: just cornered by reality, they'll start to say, well, what 509 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: about people who are intersex or have this rare chromosomal 510 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: They say what about the science? Say okay, are we 511 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 1: talking about that? Or are we And even still I 512 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: might add there's a science argument if you have male 513 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: chromosomes and the physical advantages of male testosterone, you should 514 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: only be able to compete against men. It's actually not 515 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,239 Speaker 1: that complicated. Yes, right, And so there's that. But what 516 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: they're trying to do is create a gray area here 517 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: so that then they can expand that gray area to 518 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: include macho man Randy Savage, so to peak, being like, 519 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,719 Speaker 1: I'm not here to talk about my transition. 520 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 3: That is the South Park win that ended up being 521 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 3: reality and buck here is an easy way to kind 522 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 3: of sum it up. Men just have not been willing 523 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 3: to go for this. Think about this for a minute. 524 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,239 Speaker 3: They just put you know, eight guys or whatever it 525 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,239 Speaker 3: was on the cover of Glamour mag There have been 526 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 3: a bunch of men identifying as women who have. 527 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 2: Become Woman of the Year in the first year. They're women. 528 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 3: I mean, what an insult to women that is? There 529 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 3: isn't I would argue, maybe one of you can come 530 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: up with one. I don't think there is a single 531 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 3: woman who has decided to identify as a man that 532 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 3: has in any way been more successful or extremely accepted 533 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 3: by the male community. We're just saying, hey, we don't 534 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 3: play this game. No woman who becomes a man in 535 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 3: the first year is the man of the year. The 536 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 3: only person I can hardly even think about is the 537 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:46,479 Speaker 3: uh Ellen Page And she basically destroyed her acting career. 538 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 3: She was actually a kind of a cute successful actress, 539 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 3: remember her from back in the day. She had several 540 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 3: different movies and then decided that actually, my name's Elliott 541 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 3: Page and I'm a dude, and basically vanished to a 542 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 3: larger and if she had stayed Ellie Ellen Page probably 543 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: has another twenty years of Hollywood success. Instead becomes the 544 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: dude and people are like, yeah, whatever, I'm not really going. 545 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: To pay attention to that anymore. All true, take your 546 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: calls here in a moment, and also some more of 547 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: your talkbacks. You know, the number of unborn babies at 548 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: risk of abortion is very high across our nation. Team 549 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: of people working at the preborn clinics want that number 550 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: to get lower. This nonprofit has been very successful at 551 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: convincing pregnant moms there's a better option than abortion. Last year, 552 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: they saved sixty seven thousand babies at each preborn clinic. 553 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: The staff provide pregnant mothers with support and assistance is 554 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: they choose life for their precious unborn baby. That support 555 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: continues for two years and not just that one day, 556 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: and the impact that they can have is incredible. They're 557 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: saving lives day in and day out. What they do 558 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: is they bring women into these clinics, give them love 559 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 1: and support and the free gift of an ultrasound so 560 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: they can meet their unborn child, hear the tiny heart beats, 561 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 1: see the movements of the child within the mother's womb, 562 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: and then that's so often turning point that single experience 563 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 1: costs Preborn just twenty eight dollars. You can make a 564 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: gift of that amount. You may just be saving the 565 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: life of an unborn child.

Our good 573 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 3: buddy Gavin Newsom is weighing in already, not even hiding 574 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 3: it anymore. 575 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: Buck. 576 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 3: He says that it is incumbent upon him that he 577 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 3: needs to run for president of the United States. 578 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: Of course, play cut nineteen and this. 579 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 8: Is the Election Rigging Response Act. This was not a 580 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 8: fight shows this is a fight we felt was important 581 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 8: to fight. Promposition fifty was never on the docket, was 582 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 8: not part of the agenda for me, though. It goes 583 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 8: back further, goes back to the federalization of the National Guard. 584 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 8: Now I want to mind folks it's not two or 585 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 8: three hundred in California's four thousand National Guard were federalized. 586 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 8: Seven hundred active duty Marines were not sent overseas. They 587 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 8: were sent to the second largest city in the United 588 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 8: States of America. 589 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 3: Yes, and it's it's that Gavin Newsom is being called 590 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 3: to it Bucket's not that he wants to be president. 591 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 3: It's that he has no other obligation or responsibility to 592 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 3: the nation. 593 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: That's what's motivating all of this. We got to talk 594 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: to Uncle Bill on this Thursday because I saw him 595 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: on Bill Maher and he said Gavin Newsom has no shot. Now, 596 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: I'd like to agree with that. I don't think that 597 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: that's the way this is going to play out. Well, 598 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: oh oh oh, Uncle Bill. 599 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 2: About a lot he's wrong on this. 600 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 3: I think that Gavin Newsom has to be considered at 601 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 3: this point in time a presumptive nominee favorite. 602 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 2: Doesn't mean that he's going to be the nominee. 603 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 3: Lots can change between now and twenty twenty seven and 604 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight when that decision is made. But I 605 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 3: don't even know who you would put as a close 606 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 3: second right now when it comes to who's most likely 607 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 3: to be the nominee. 608 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 609 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: I don't see anybody else who's going to be able 610 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: to compete with them. It was interesting because it's mirrored 611 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: the discussion they had because I saw some clips of 612 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: Bill on with well Bill O'Reilly on with Bill Maherk, 613 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: and they were saying I think he said, Wes Moore, 614 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: you got a lot of work to do in not 615 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: that much time to make Americans know who Wes Moore 616 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: actually is. And I don't see it. Everybody knows who 617 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom is and he starts out with a lot 618 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: of Electoral College votes in his back pocket, with California 619 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: and and a huge donor network and all the round it. 620 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: Let's get to some of these talkbacks and VIPs, I 621 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: might add Clay.
