00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. The third hour of The Clay Travis

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show starts now. Thanks everybody for joining in.

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Phone lines open eight hundred two eight two eight eight two.

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: Want to call in chat with us, please do. And

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: we got a few things here. One is the Biden

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: administration continuing to have a rough day. It feels like

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: every day's a rough day for the by administration. Joe

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: is apparently very unhappy. This is the story that's being

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: put out there now. Kind of strikes me that some

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: of this may just be spin. Joe Biden is is shocked,

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: shocked to find out that the American people think that

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: he's doing a crappy job and that his approval ratings

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: at this stage are actually below the approval ratings of

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: his predecessor, Donald Trump. And keep in mind, Joe Biden

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: has effectively a corporate media apparatus that ninety five percent

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: of the people and nine five percent of the time

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: is giving him a back rob and participation awards, you know,

19
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: just because no mean tweets or whatever. Donald Trump had

20
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: a media apparatus that completely lit whatever credibility they thought

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: they had on fire, though it wasn't very much to

22
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: begin with, in order to create narratives of panic and

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: fear at a time when the country was actually doing

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: really well or at peace, no huge war in Europe,

25
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: didn't have the worst inflation in forty years. You think back,

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: what were the big scary things of the Trump years,

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: and it was the fantasy of Russia collusion, which was

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: essentially like you know, the boogeyman hiding under someone's better

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: in the closet. It didn't exist, really, but Democrats were

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: terrified of it, and they had to come up with

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: things to make people think the country was in such

32
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: bad shape when it was actually in great shape. Biden's

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: very upset now that people realize the emperor has no clothes.

34
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: This whole thing is kind of a joke. So what

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: are they going to do? We've been saying all along.

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: They don't have a good narrative to share, they don't

37
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: have a good story to tell. So there'll be a

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: lot of focus on this January sixth, which this has

39
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: been the most predictable thing in American politics, I think,

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: for the last eighteen months. And they're gonna make this

41
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: not just about January sixth, but also about Trump as

42
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: much as possible to try to make the mid terms

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump. Here is I mean, I gotta say,

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: these former federal prosecutors who show up on places like

45
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: MSNBC and CNN have done more to damage the public's

46
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: perception of federal prosecutors as serious and worthwhile people than

47
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: anything else you could have ever conjured. Here is some

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: former federal prosecutor, Glenn Kirshner, saying that the real targets

49
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: of the January sixth investigations is you guessed it? Donald Trump. Clearly,

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: I think Donald Trump is the ultimate target. And it

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: seems to me that what Deal Jay is now doing

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: is working its way up the criminal food chain. Why

53
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: is it that we now have the kind of flurry

54
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: of activity. Could it be because the Department of Justice

55
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: has gotten wind of precisely what the American people are

56
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna see beginning on June nine, regarding the crimes of

57
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his co conspirators, and people are going

58
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: to be screaming, bloody murder. Why haven't they been indicted?

59
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: It feels to me like all of a sudden, DJ

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: is in full sprint anticipating what we are all about

61
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: to see. I mean, this guy's delusional, Clay, but yeah,

62
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: and a couple of days they're going to have their

63
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: January sixth primetime hearing. Is anyone gonna watch? Nobody's going

64
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: to care. And I don't mean that's because nobody cares

65
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: about January sixth. I mean they've had eighteen months that

66
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: they have dragged out January sixth. They're gonna put this

67
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: on in prime time, which feels like a desperate attempt

68
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: for attention in the middle of what is going to

69
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: be a busy summer graduation season. People just have a

70
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: lot of other things going on in their life. Now,

71
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: super left wing people who are still obsessed with Donald

72
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: Trump are going to pay attention to this, and there's

73
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: going to be a desperate attempt to try to connect

74
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump to the mid term elections. And indeed, Buck

75
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: one of the storylines that's out there is that Trump

76
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: may decide to declare his twenty twenty four campaign officially

77
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: under way, maybe before we even get through the summer months. Now,

78
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: there's a dispute, there's articles written from a variety of

79
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: different perspectives. My advice on that would be for Trump

80
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: to stay out of the farray allow the midterms to happen,

81
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: And by out of the fray, I mean announcing a

82
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: presidential campaign. I think going out and doing rallies and

83
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: endorsing candidates that he believes make the most sense are

84
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: eminently reasonable. But I just don't think Buck, there's that

85
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: many persuadable people out there who believe that this January

86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: sixth storyline is going to fundamentally change anything. And I

87
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: would just say this, with all of the leaks that

88
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: have come out of that committee, do you expect me

89
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: to believe that they've kept some grand, unbelievable, incredible and

90
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: explosively revelatory details not public yet. I mean, they've been

91
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: leaking to the New York Times, in the Washington Post

92
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: and MSNBC and CNN, the usual suspects about this investigation

93
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: for over a year now, every little detail, text messages

94
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: from media members. They've tried to hold guys in contempt

95
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: who haven't been willing to testify. And I just don't

96
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: buy into the fact that there's enough discipline on this

97
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: committee that there's something that we haven't seen now. I

98
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: think they'll try to address it, sizzle it up, try

99
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: to sell it to all of the gullible and culpable

100
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: and particularly anti Trump media out there. So I know

101
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: that there will be an aggressive attempt made here, but

102
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: I just I don't think there's anything there. I think,

103
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: to use a phrase from the Obama administration, this is

104
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: now a nothing burger, right like, people have moved on.

105
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: They care about inflation that they care about the southern border,

106
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: they care about to some extent, the war going on

107
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: in Ukraine and Russia right now. They care about the

108
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: murder rate that's certainly occurring in this country. January sixth

109
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: is like the thirtieth or fortieth most important thing, if that,

110
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: in the country right now. I think they've created, and

111
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: by they, I mean the Washington Post, The New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, etc.

112
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: I think they've just created an expectation among their most

113
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: consistent hardcore viewers which is completely synonymous with the Democrat

114
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: base right, the real left wing Democrat based voter. They

115
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: believe that this is important to them. They've been must

116
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: they will get these hearings, and so in my in

117
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: my mind, at best, they think with these hearings they're

118
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: speaking to twenty percent of the country. I mean, I

119
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: think about twenty percent of you know, the voting age

120
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: population of this country that as far left democrat is

121
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: essentially insane and unreachable, Like it doesn't matter what, it

122
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what we tell they're they're terrified of having

123
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: kids because of climate change? Did you see ye? Do

124
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: you see Ezra Klein? You know, because he has the

125
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: superficial trappings of the intellectual people like, oh, he must

126
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: be so smart, saying that the most common question that

127
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: he gets asked by people is whether or not it's

128
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: responsible for them to have children because of the carbon

129
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: footprint and climate change. I want to sit down. I

130
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: don't even know this guy, never talked to him. Want

131
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: to be like, do you hang out with lunatics? Like

132
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: do you hang out with people who are that direct?

133
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 1: Apparently yes, because that's the most common question he gets

134
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: asked those people. What do you think the crossover is

135
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: between oh, my gosh, I'm so scared about having kids

136
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: because of the climate change impact that my out of

137
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: seven billion people in the world, my your individual decision

138
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: to have a kid. Yeah, it's gonna it's gonna affect

139
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: the climate and it's irresponsible. There the crossover clay between

140
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: too scared to have kids because of climate change, and

141
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: thinks the January six hearings, which are gonna happen in

142
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: a couple of days, are prime time important for the

143
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: savior saving of the Republic. I think it's one hundred percent. Yeah,

144
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: it's an overlap. It's like two different circles that are

145
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: the same color that you can't even tell are different.

146
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: But this is just an easy question for everybody out there.

147
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: We're effectively into the summer. It's gonna be Thursday evening.

148
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: People like to start celebrating the weekend a little bit early.

149
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: Who is sitting and watching a prime time congressional hearing

150
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: focused on something that happened eighteen months ago for a

151
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: guy that isn't even president right now and isn't announced

152
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 1: to be running in twenty twenty four. Yet it's so

153
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: backwards looking in the same way that Buck you and

154
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: I have said, Hey, elections really are for non incumbents

155
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: a referendum on the future. But if you're an incumbent,

156
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: then you should be held responsible for whatever's occurred on

157
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: your watch. My biggest concern about Trump is I think

158
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: Trump will watch the hearings, and I think he will

159
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: enjoy them. My concern with his campaign in twenty twenty four.

160
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: Is not the fact that he's a better candidate than

161
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. He clearly is, but that was the case

162
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty as well. It's that Trump running lets

163
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: Joe Biden or whoever the Democrat is that ends up

164
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: as the standard bearer off the hook for how awful

165
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: they've been in their job, because we end up arguing

166
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: about the twenty twenty election results as opposed to the

167
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: concrete election consequences, which are what has happened with Joe

168
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: Biden in office. Right So twenty twenty four, to me,

169
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: it wipes out everything January six everything twenty twenty. It's

170
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: all about who's the better vision going forward and a

171
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: referendum on Democrats having control of the government. My concern

172
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: is if you allow yourself to get dragged back into

173
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: the past, that's a more fertile terrain for Democrats to

174
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: fight on, and I think that's what January sixth is

175
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: all about, because it's effectively an attempt we start Gavin

176
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Newsom do this when he tried to turn Larry Elder

177
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: into Donald Trump. That's the only campaign strategy that it

178
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: seems Democrats have right now. Because this is definitely not

179
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna work. Hey, the economy's actually, like, you know, it's

180
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: really good, guys, just you don't know it. He was

181
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: talking about this positive jobs report, which showed continued strong

182
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: job growth three hundred ninety thousand jobs, no sign of

183
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: recession moderating Wade's growth, expanded labor force participation, which indicates

184
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: some cooling of inflation pressures. So for the moment the

185
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: White House thinks this is a report in the right

186
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: direction and an economy moving in the right direction, CNN

187
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: can try and spend all day on behalf of the

188
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: race geame. But the people that are looking at a

189
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: doubling of gas prices in the last twelve months are like, now,

190
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't think so, I don't think it's not gonna fly.

191
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: And not only that, I believe I'm correct that the

192
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: new inflation data is coming out on Friday. So you're

193
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: telling me that on Thursday evening, Democrats focus is going

194
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: to be eighteen months in the past. On January sixth

195
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: that they are going to be having a hearing that

196
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: evening and the next morning, early in that morning, we're

197
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 1: going to get the newest inflation data. Whatever happens on Thursday.

198
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Inflation is going to be the story all day Friday,

199
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: because it's still newsflash, gonna be awful. And I just

200
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: tell you know, everybody out there, and because I understand

201
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: this sentiment, so the Democrats are going to do this

202
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: whole It's about the sanctity of our elections and about

203
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: the foundation of our republic. And yeah, obviously, you know

204
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: it was people should not have attacked cops that day,

205
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: and you know it was. It was a not just

206
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: not just a mistake, it was a blunder because obviously,

207
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: as we see, they've capitalized on the riot that day

208
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: wasn't an insurrection, of course, the one riot that Republicans

209
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: were actually responsible for from an entire summer of riots.

210
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: And it's not like the entire Republican Party had been

211
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: calling for endless riots for months and months, as the

212
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: Democrats did it in the months leading up to this.

213
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: But I would just say it's amazing how much the

214
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: Democrats didn't understand after they tried a soft coup against

215
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: Trump with the Russia collusion lie for four straight years,

216
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: basically after they their primary means of opposition to the

217
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: Trump presidency was a concerted effort by the FBI, the

218
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: Democrat Party, the intelligence community, and the Democrat aligned corporate

219
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: media to create this Russian collusion lie, to get a

220
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: special counsel to grind away at the Trump administration with

221
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: that just heinous political dirty trick. They think that we

222
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: want to sit around to be lectured about January six

223
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: I got a few words to say to them in response,

224
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: but I can't say them on radio. Well, I just

225
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: think it's going to be particularly tone deaf because again,

226
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night, oh my goodness, look at how bad January

227
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: sixth was. Friday morning, before most people are even at work,

228
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: the latest inflation data is going to be out. So

229
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: whatever that storyline that they create on Thursday evening with

230
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: their primetime January sixth hearing is going to immediately disappear

231
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: as everyone reacts to what's going on with inflation. So

232
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: there's just no it's just gonna make them feel and

233
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: seem even more tone deaf than they actually are, which

234
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: is saying something. Twenty one years ago, nine to eleven,

235
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: two thousand, nine hundred seventy seven people were killed in

236
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: a terror attack on American soil. Tunnel of the Towers

237
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: Foundation has been supporting America's heroes and their families ever since.

238
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: When a first responder or military service member doesn't come

239
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: home and young kids are left behind, Tunnel of the

240
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: Towers pays off their mortgage to lift the financial burden

241
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: and bring their family stability. For severely injured veterans and

242
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: first responders, Tunnel of the Town hours builds mortgage free

00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: that is our nation's heroes, people who put their lives

247
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: on the line for our country and our communities. They

248
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: need your help. Help these heroes and their families join

Speaker 1: number two t dot org. Welcome back in Clay, Travis

253
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

254
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: We are rolling through the Monday edition of the program.

255
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to be joined by Naomi Wolf here in

256
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: a moment to discuss COVID and transgender related politics. I

257
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: think you guys are going to enjoy that combination. But

258
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to mention we were discussing January sixth and

259
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: the primetime hearing that's going to occur on Thursday, the

260
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: day before the most recent data on inflation in the

261
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: month of May is going to be released. And I

262
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: think it's worth pointing out too that the Biden administration

263
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: is under siege, the likes of which we have not

264
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: seen from the media all of a sudden. Buck last night,

265
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: I was reading Politico had an article and it builds

266
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: on a CNN article, and I think a Washington Post

267
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: article as well, all of which have had essentially the

268
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: same theme, which is the Biden White House go figure

269
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: is totally lost and doesn't know how to get its

270
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: mojo back, so to speak, that morale is bad, that

271
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: everything they are touching is leading to disaster, and that

272
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has been furious inside of the West Wing,

273
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: both over what he feels like was a complete failure

274
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: when it came to the baby formula crisis and the

275
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: fact that they didn't even tell him about it. That's

276
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: his claim, and also that his poll numbers are now

277
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: worse than Donald Trump's were at this point in the

278
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: Trump presidency, and Biden, they say, is engaging in cursing

279
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: fits throughout the White House, furious at all times. They

280
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: don't really know what to do. But the argument is,

281
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: and this is gonna not go well for them. I

282
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: think that Biden's solution is to get him out on

283
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: the road more where he's talking to people. And I

284
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: gotta be honest with you, every time Joe Biden talks

285
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: to anyone, I think he makes more of a mess

286
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: of things because he can barely put two sentences together

287
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: off of a teleprompter. And so as we're now sitting

288
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: five months out, it's kind of an acknowledgement buck that

289
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: there is no great solution for all of the issues

290
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: that are bedeviling the Biden administration right now. No, I mean,

291
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna try all this stuff. We're gonna see the

292
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: January six hearings, and no one's even gonna remember them

293
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: a day later, even on the people who watch it,

294
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: because we've already heard all this stuff. We've already seen.

295
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: They've been trying so hard to make this a thing

296
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: that is on the minds of the American people constantly.

297
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: But I do think they're gonna just get to batten

298
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: down the Hatch's territory here where they know that they

299
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: know the hurricane is coming in this midterm election. It's

300
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: just going to be a question of what's left standing

301
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: of the Democrats afterwards. And that's in terms of the

302
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: ferocity of the winds of change here. That's going to

303
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: be on all of us to keep the focus on

304
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: the failures, because they're gonna keep telling you, oh, it's

305
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: going to get better by the midterms. We're two years

306
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: into this, and what evidence do we have but this

307
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: is going to get better? Clay none, Actually that the

308
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: people in charge know what they're doing. I mean, they've

309
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: done a lot of stuff they wanted to do and

310
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: the results are bad. That's what we actually have with

311
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. And there were supposed to be all

312
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: these times for Biden to reset and get things back

313
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: on track. Remember the State of the Union was going

314
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: to be that all of these different big speeches were

315
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: going to be changing directions and trajectories of his approval rates. No,

316
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: they're not working at all. Biden is way underwater. Let

317
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: me tell you about American financing you're looking for your first, next,

318
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: or forever home. The lender you want on your side

319
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: is American Financing. Believe me, I know. They help me

320
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: with my very own mortgage last year. Their family owned.

321
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: They're known for having salary based mortgage consultants, which means

322
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: you receive guidance throughout the home loan process and you're

323
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: not getting pressure or anything like that because they don't

324
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: work for a commission, they work for you. That's really

325
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: the key to having an offer that stands out. The

326
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: home buying market is starting to get a little less competitive,

327
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: but you still need to have the right loan program

328
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: and lender to help you win. That's where American Financing

329

341
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us, Thanks so much for having me.

342
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: I have said some pretty harsh things, but I think

343
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: true things about doctor Anthony Fauci, Rachelle Wilenski, and so

344
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: much of the public health apparatus in this country that

345
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: not only pushed lockdowns and then extended them, and vaccine

346
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: mandates and extended them, but to this day remains entirely

347
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: unrepentant and even pretends at least to be proud of it.

348
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: I assume in your book, because you call them authoritarians,

349
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: you see at some level what Clay and I have

350
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: seen along here, which is that this was a moment

351
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: of actual tyranny in this country. Yeah. I mean, you're

352
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna love this book if you haven't had a chance

353
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: to to read it yet, because I'm completely aligned with

354
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: what you just said, and in fact, I think I

355
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: explained to readers why they did these these things that

356
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: were so damaging to our communities, to our children, and

357
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: that turned out to have no medical value. The data

358
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: are in lockdowns didn't do anything against COVID. Nineteen States

359
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: and countries that stayed open did just the same as

360
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: states and countries that locked their citizens down and closed commerce,

361
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: and by the same tip and other interventions like masks,

362
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: they barely make a difference, but what they do effectively

363
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: is lower our children's IQ points by twenty one point

364
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: according to a Brown University study, due to the restriction

365
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: of social interaction. You know, the the closing of businesses

366
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: didn't protect people from COVID, but it allowed a massive theft,

367
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: a massive transfer of wealth from the working class in

368
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: the middle class to these oligarchs and a handful of

369
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: major industries. So a thousand percent it's not just a

370
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: moment of charny. I would go further. I think that

371
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: makes the case in the bodies of others that this

372
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: was the pandemic. The last two years of the pandemic

373
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: were an excuse for a handful of bad actors, notably

374
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: the World Economic Forum, some bad nonprofits like the Bill

375
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: and Melinda Gates Foundation, big tech companies to really wage

376
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: war against the West, against America in particular, and especially

377
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: against our children, and to create a kind of architect

378
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: to kind of post humane world in which we are

379
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: serfs and we basically need to ask their permission to

380
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: engage in a human activity like commerce and assembly. Naomi

381
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: Buck and I have been talking a lot about the

382
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: consequences of these decisions that were made, the lockdown, forcing

383
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: kids to wear masks, shutting down schools, and how catastrophically

384
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 1: much of a failure they were. A lot of them

385
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: are at the feet of doctor Anthony Fauci, who has

386
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: so far, for the most part, appeared to escape almost

387
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: all blame for any of this, at least in the

388
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: mainstream media. Do you think that will change if Republicans

389
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: start to hold him accountable in front of the House

390
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: and the Senate, if they take back the House in

391
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: the Senate, And what sort of consequential actions should exist

392
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: when our unelected bureaucracy and our elected leaders get public

393
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: policy decisions this wrong in your mind? Yeah, I mean,

394
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: I guess two things. One is that i'd encourage It's

395
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: tempting to think all we have to do is elect

396
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: another party and investigate these people and that will take

397
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: care of that. But I'm sorry to tell you that

398
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: this is a bigger fight and it's bigger than partisanship.

399
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: And what I mean is absolutely you know, I voted

400
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: for the Biden administration. I'm embarrassed it was you know,

401
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: I had no idea that they would turn out to

402
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: be hostage to China into oligarchs, which they clearly are. Um.

403
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: You know, the left is engaging in the bad behavior

404
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: in our country, but if you take a bigger picture

405
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: at what's happening worldwide, it's a script that's meta national.

406
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: It transcends nation states, it transcends political parties. We've got

407
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: a justin Trudeaux, a liberal uh, you know, shutting down

408
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: democracy over the border in Canada and using unidentifiable mercenaries

409
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 1: to beat peacefully protesting truckers. We've got the same unidentifiable

410
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: mercenaries or you know, are they police, are they military?

411
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: Impossible to tell in France under Macan also liberals. You know,

412
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: these people were also beating peaceful protesters against the Green

413
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: Pass in um. In Britain and in Australia, you've got

414
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: conservative years Boris Johnson until recently Scott Morrison, you know,

415
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: reading the same script, engaging the same lockdown, the same

416
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 1: abusive policy, the same distancing and you know war on

417
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: middle class businesses and sole proprietorships and you know, individual

418
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: landlords and so on. It's it's a global cupe. And

419
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: you know my book makes the point, it's it's it's

420
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: it's an alignment against humanity itself. And really have to

421
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: understand this. Um So, yes, by all means, you know,

422
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: investigate doctor fauciate Rachelle Lensky. Actually, I'm satisfied to tell

423
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: you that Rachelle Lensky has just served with a subpoena

424
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: for a grand jury investigation by colleagues of mine, including

425
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: doctor Henry Eale to state senators in Oregon, Senator Lincicum

426
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: and Dennis Lenthicum and Senator Kim Thatcher. You should definitely

427
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: talk to them, um So, they do need to face

428
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, not only an investigation. I mean they are

429
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: they are criminals. You know that the evidence is in

430
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: um But in addition to that, you have to look

431
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: at the bigger picture, which is that this is an

432
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: effort by big tech, by the World Economic Forum, by

433
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: the Dylan Milinda Gates Foundation and China to basically re

434
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: orient our entire world so that we are trapped and

435
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: surveiled all the time. So that, you know, as claud

436
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: Shwa promised, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. So,

437
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, all these people, all these landlords, is one example.

438
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: All these landlords, little landlords, you know, small business, small

439
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 1: owners of one property. Like you know, I was a

440
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: single mom for twelve years, and I scrimped and saved.

441
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of immigrants, a lot of working people,

442
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, shave up and buy that one rental property. Well,

443
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: Rachel Olinsky said, with no authority, you know, no previously

444
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: held authority that you couldn't evict your tenants for six

445
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: months due to quote unquote COVID, which was nonsense, right,

446
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: And so who can afford to hold on with no

447
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: income for six months. It's not the little people. It's

448
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: not all those you know, first generation immigrants who worked

449
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: so hard to buy that one little piece of property.

450
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: It's it's the institutional investors. So there was one day

451
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: in January when I saw all these you know, landlords

452
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: had to sell their properties at firesale prices, and they

453
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: got scooped up by black Rock. And now Blackrock owns

454
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: nine percent of the residential housing stock. And we're going

455
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: to train into a nation of renters as a result.

456
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: And that's just one example. One hundred and ten thousand

457
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: restaurants and bars were forced to close down be due

458
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: to the lockdown, no medical reason at all, right, but

459
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: you know McDonald's and Target were allowed to stay open.

460
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: Um that that drove that market share into the hands

461
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: of the big guys. And if you read the bodies

462
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: of others you can see that, uh, you know, tech

463
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: company after tech company. If you if they don't let

464
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: your child be in an in person school and your

465
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: child is you know, chained to a computer, then edge

466
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: you tech you know, distance learning, which was a loser industry,

467
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: but you know the tech bows were invested in it

468
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: suddenly becomes a one hundred million dollars you know plus

469
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: up revenue. Same thing with meal kits. You know, who

470
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: wants a meal kit? Who wants your food delivered in

471
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: a box on your doorstep. You know, if you can

472
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: go to the supermarket, talk to your butcher, doctor, your baker,

473
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: meet your friend for coffee, you will never want a

474
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: meal kit. But and tech investors invested in meal kits.

475
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: But after lockdown, you know they're up, you know, by

476
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars. Amazon, Google, Microsoft by locking

477
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: us into our homes, forcing us to you know, for

478
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: professional classes, you know, have distance Zoom calls and Microsoft

479
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: team calls and Google hang out calls. They're up twenty

480
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: to thirty percent. Nintendo is up twenty to thirty percent.

481
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't let people gather in a

482
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: church or a synagogue and worship, if you don't let

483
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: people gather in person in a town hall, or you know,

484
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: go to a bar or go bowling with your friends,

485
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: it drives everyone onto digital platforms where you can be

486
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: your data is harvested, and you can be tracked and surveiled.

487
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: And it's a giant boom for companies. So why would

488
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: they ever go back to a world in which we

489
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: get to have human assembly. It's bigger than just getting

490
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: rid of the democrats, I'm afraid to say. Naomi Wolf

491

Speaker 1: the book The Bodies of Others, The New Authoritarians COVID

527
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: Over the weekend you went and joined me in seeing

528
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: Top Gun Maverick. Now, you alienated a huge portion of

529
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: our audience by deriding, denigrating, disrespecting the latest Batman film

530
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: to such an extent that I was getting blamed for

531
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: your room confusing. I thought that was your review, Clay

532
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: that got everyone so upset. I never will forget getting

533
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: emails where people were mad about my opinion of the

534
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: Batman movie on the show, which I still haven't seen,

535
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: by the way, but I loved talk so you might

536
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: agree with me that it is the worst. It is

537
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: the worst Batman movie since the Schumacher Batman with George Clooney,

538
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: and it's maybe as bad as that one. Not quite,

539
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: although Sanerger Gelling just chilled when he was Mister Freeze

540
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: is in kind of a category of its own. But Schwarzenegger,

541
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: by the way his ability to play Kindergarten cop right,

542
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: the awkward, the buddy movie twins um and mister Freeze,

543
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: he had an unbelievable hold on the box office. Obviously,

544
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: movies like Predator, you know that that were more traditional

545
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: action films. I think we're underrating his role as as

546
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: dominant cultural force. Shortzeneger is the greatest action hero of

547
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: all time. I mean, I know there's some stallone fans

548
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: out there who are going to say, right now, but

549
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: Schortzenegger's number one. I don't. I don't think. I don't

550
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: think there's any real well so action building on this

551
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: is Tom Cruise the greatest actor of all time. Let

552
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: me just make my case. He's when when you consider

553
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: forty years worth of being making movies, all different types

554
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: of movies, that longevity in an era where almost the

555
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: superstar actor has disappeared. Is he the greatest actor? He's

556
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: the most commercially successful actor of all time. I think

557
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: that if you just look at it from a box

558
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: office perspective, and also his the amount that he carries

559
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: in those movies, right, I mean, he is the draw.

560
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: You can talk about some other major franchises, but it's like, well,

561
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think that that Tom Cruise is the

562
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: most commercially successful actor of all time in terms of

563
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: his ability as a box office draw, although he made

564
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody solved Vanilla Sky in the theaters,

565
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna upset some of audience. Now. That is

566
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my

567
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: entire life, and in a theater, I'm not a You

568
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: can't include like what's on HBO three at two am,

569
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 1: Like LEPrecon five, which is a real thing that I

570
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: watched once. It was actually called LEPrecon in the Hood.

571
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: If you're wondering, there was also LEPrecon, the first four

572
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: Leprecons to follow the plot of Life. I saw the

573
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: first one, which had Jennifer Aniston in it, because the LEPrecon,

574
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: which I believe is played by Warwick Davis, who was

575
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: also the little person in the movie Willow, which was

576
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: kind of a sort of a Lord of the ring style.

577
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: This is this is like a horror movie. Right for

578
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: people who are not familiar with this, don't let your

579
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: kids watch the Lepricon movies. Definitely inappropriate. It's like it's

580
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: not a jolly happy he's any charms. Like he's a

581
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: scary little Lepricon. It's still pretty scary, to be honest

582
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: with you anyway. It's not like one of those movies.

583
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: Vanilla Skuy came out in theaters and got a lot

584
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: of fanfare, and I thought that movie was I mean,

585
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: what is the worst movie you've ever seen in a

586
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: movie theater? That's a that's a big distinction because I

587
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: can't be like, you know, like I said, Cinemax at

588
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: two am, although who knows what's going on there? Those

589
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: are oftentimes works of art. Um I will say. Well,

590
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: and also I think factors in on your age, because

591
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, my parents took me to

592
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: go see The Accidental Tourist, which I don't even know

593
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: what that movie. They thought that it was something that

594
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: that maybe my sister and I would like, and I'm

595
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: probably like ten or eleven punishment did you get kicked

596
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: out of a little bit? My mom is probably listening

597
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: right now, and my dad wouldn't let us leave because

598
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: he was like, I think your mom is probably liking it.

599
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't even remember thet but I remember thinking the

600
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: two hours that we spent in the theater for that

601
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,240
Speaker 1: movie felt like twenty eight hours, right. I don't remember

602
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: as an adult walking out of a movie and saying

603
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: that was so bad I can't even bother to finish it.

604
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: But that's the one that comes to mind for me

605
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: as a kid. I went to see Magnolia with my parents,

606
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: and it's the only movie that I actually walked out on.

607
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: Oh I liked Magnolia. Oh oh that's Tom. That was

608
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise in that one. He was in that he

609
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: was He has made some really bad movies. Clay I

610
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: thought was a pretty good movie. Really, when the Frogs

611
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: fell out of the sky, you were you were into

612
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: all this. I don't remember all the details of it.

613
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: I just remember watching the movie and not thinking I

614
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: think it was pre Well, this is all along preamble

615
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: to say, Top Gun Maverick is awesome and I highly

616
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: highly recommend. I saw it on the Imax Scream with

617
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: Carrie Uh so, you know, Imax was just a little

618
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: bigger little watch. That's I took my boys to go

619
00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: see it on Imax too. Yeah, the aerial scenes in

620
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: those planes, which you can tell it's not CGI, which

621
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: makes better difference in the way filmed them. The way

622
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: they filmed these planes was incredible and from I've actually

623
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: heard and read interviews of pilots, you know, real pilots

624
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: for other F twenty two FF eighteens who were saying

625
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: they did an incredible job with that, and they you know,

626
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: they brought in some of the nostalgia, they stayed true

627
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: to the original. The screenplay was a nice continuation of it.

628
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: Um you know, I mean I could have my little

629
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 1: things here or there. I might have wanted a little

630
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: bit different, but overall a A plus movie watching experience

631
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: in the theater. Really really enjoyed it and highly recommend

632
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: anybody who hasn't seen it, and it's you could totally

633
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: watch that. There was nothing that you couldn't you know,

634
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: your thirteen year old right, It's very It's basically like

635
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: a PG thirteen. I don't even know what the rating is,

636
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: but your twelve thirteen year olds could see that. I

637
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 1: mean I took I mean everybody's every parent as different

638
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: as we saw when we were talking about the ridiculous

639
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: drag shows that were going on. But I took my seven,

640
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: eleven and fourteen year old boys and all three of

641
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 1: them love. Yeah, there's nothing. What I mean is there's

642
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: nothing that's not you know, there's not thing that's I mean,

643
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: there's violence, obviously, because you're in fighter jazz SPA in

644
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: planes you don't see anything. But yeah, it's not it's

645
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: I I was fine. I didn't think. Hey, I can't

646
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: believe I took my seven eleven and fourteen. I give

647
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: it an. I give it an. I mean, look for

648
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 1: a movie to watch in theaters. I rarely go to

649
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: theaters because I find so many people have no manners

650
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: and they annoy me. I loved it. It was fantastic.

651
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: Carrie took me as a little a little date night

652
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 1: on Friday. We had a lot of fun. So I

653
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: recommend that everybody out there, we're gonna we're gonna have

654
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: to come back to this. Uh did you see even

655
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: though the sky Clay I did, I didn't remember here.

656
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: I went and saw it in the theater. I don't

657
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: remember being awful. Let me say this, by the way,

658
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,479
Speaker 1: a lot of parents listen. Uh, Top Gun way more

659
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: appropriate for young kid audience, I thought, than Doctor Strange,

660
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 1: which is the latest Marvel movie, so if you're trying

661
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: to weigh what to take your kids to go see,

662
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: I thought Doctor Strange was way worse in terms of

663
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: kids and violence than Lady Travis and Buck Sexton on

664
00:36:53,200 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: the front lines fe
