We are joined by doctor Carol Swain. 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 2: She's a senior fellow at the Institute for Faith and Culture, 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 2: also the author of the book The Adversity of Diversity, 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: which was released this past summer. Doctor Swain honored to 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 2: have you on the program. 9 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 3: Meetcham, I'm quite excited. Thank you for all the good 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 3: work you did. 11 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 4: Thank you so much. 12 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: Let's start with well, why your name has certainly been 13 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: in the news cycle for the last week or so. 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: The president of Harvard still the president as we speak here. 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to change anytime soon, doctor Gay. 16 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 2: There are allegations from a friend of the show, Chris 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: Ruffo here and others that she plagiarized some of your work. 18 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you first about that. I mean, 19 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: what do you think of those allegations and what do 20 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: you think of all the fact that doctor Gay seems 21 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 2: to be held to a different standard than other university presidents, 22 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: like University of Pennsylvania's who have already resigned. 23 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 3: But she is a documented serial pleasurist that that cannot 24 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 3: be denied, and Harvard University can't decide. You know laterally 25 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 3: that they're going to change the definition of pleasurism just 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: to protect its first ever black president. 27 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 5: So that is certainly the case. 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 3: And she lifted two passages from my prize winning book 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 3: Black Faces, Black Interests the representation of African Americans in Congress, 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 3: But her home to me, I contend go quar beyond 31 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 3: that because she did her early research in the area 32 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: where I was the noted scholar who produced the path 33 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: breaking work. She built on my work, and she did 34 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 3: not give me proper ignowledgment or attribution. As a scholar, 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: if you were working in an area where there is 36 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: a leading professor to acknowledge that work, either to a 37 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 3: permit to refute it or to expand it. She would 38 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 3: have a citation in her bibliography, But anyone reading Claudine 39 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 3: Gay's work would not know that about the work that 40 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 3: I was the lead scholar on that was considered pathbreaking. 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 5: So that's one issue. The other issue is to. 42 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 3: Get early tenure at Princeton. The requirements back in the 43 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 3: nineteen nineties was that you had to have a path 44 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: breaking book, not a series of mediocre articles. And my 45 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 3: book won three national prizes, was cited by many law 46 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 3: courts as well as the Supreme Court. I had three 47 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: Supreme Court citations. That was the path breaking work that 48 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 3: she should have acknowledged in her career. 49 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 4: It not really, doctor Swain. I appreciate you coming on. 50 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: This is Clay and I first want to say glad 51 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: that you have been at Vanderbilt University in the law 52 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: school and the undergrad I went to the law school. 53 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: I think you've done fantastic work there. My understanding is 54 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: you're a mom, a grandma, and a great grandma. So 55 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: I want to look at it from this perspective. When 56 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: you see what Harvard is saying to defend their president 57 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: right now, Claudine Gay, not only as a scholar, obviously 58 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: because you have achieved a tremendous amount in your career, 59 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: but as a mom, grandma and great grandma. What do 60 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: you think when the NAACP says it's racist to question 61 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: doctor Gay in any way about her scholarship. 62 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 3: I've been black all in my life and all of 63 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: my life. Whenever a black person was challenged on the left, 64 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: the reaction from the elites always racist, and so you 65 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 3: can't challenge one of their fellow elite blacks without hearing 66 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: the charge that it has to be racist. It always 67 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: has to be racist. If you're white, you have to 68 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 3: be a white supremacist. I would say that the people 69 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 3: are from the NAACP don't really. 70 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 5: Understand the issue. 71 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 3: And one of the nuances of the issue, as it 72 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: pertains to me, is that in her published work that 73 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 3: we now know that parts of it was pleasurized, she 74 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 3: in my opinion, cheated me out of citations. Because in academia, 75 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 3: your statue depends on how many citations you get. And 76 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: if there's someone working in an area where you did 77 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: pathbreaking work and they're not adequately citing your work or 78 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 3: acknowledging it, it hurts you over time. 79 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 5: And so I'm a person I. 80 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 3: Took early retirement from Vanderbilt in twenty seventeen largely because 81 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 3: of woke environment. 82 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 5: And when I look at. 83 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 3: Her, who is quote a distinguished professor, She won a 84 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: prize for her senior thesis, she won a prize for 85 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: her dissertation, and now we know she is a seria pleasurist. 86 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 3: I believe that people like her who have had the 87 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 3: most elite education. She went to Phillips Exeter Academy for 88 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 3: her high school, then she went to Harvard University and 89 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: was tenured at Stanford Day. She education that America has 90 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 3: to offer, and yet she has not produced any path 91 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 3: breaking work. I would say her work is mediocre at best. 92 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 3: It should not have wanted tenure at. 93 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 2: Stanford, Doctor Swain, You, no doubt have, I'm sure, thought 94 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: about what the future holds here in the environment where 95 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court has weighed in most recently on affirmative 96 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 2: ice action in college admissions and deemed it unconstitutional. I 97 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: wanted to know if you think that, given all your 98 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: time in academia, that we are at a turning point 99 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 2: for both college admissions and also for the hiring of 100 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: professors when it comes to relying on diversity as a 101 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 2: primary really a game changing indicator of who they're going 102 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 2: to take or is this just going to be a 103 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: long series of lawsuits over many, many years to get 104 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 2: these schools to start changing how they admit students and 105 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: how they hire and tenure professors. 106 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 5: Well, well, certainly, I believe at a turning point. 107 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: And that's the one reason why this book, The Adversity 108 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: of diversity is important because it points out that CRT 109 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: and DER programs violate the Constitution and our civil rights 110 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 3: laws in the same way as race based the firm divection. 111 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: And I also contend that we can have diversity without discrimination. 112 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: All we have to do is go back to the 113 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 3: original intent of the Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four, 114 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: enforced the ego protection clause of the Constitution that does 115 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: not prohibit outreach to persons, but that outreach needs to 116 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 3: be done to qualified individuals of all races, and so 117 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: it should be the death deal for DEI programs left. 118 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: They have already declared that they're going to resist in 119 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: the same way as people resisted on the left and 120 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: on the right the nineteen fifty four Brown Versus Board 121 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 3: of Education school desegregation ruling. 122 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 5: It meant for me as a child, I did not. 123 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: Attend integrated schools until the late nineteen sixties because of 124 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: the massive resistance. Progressives have declared that they're going to 125 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 3: continue doing what they've always done, and I have been 126 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 3: encouraging white Americans, Asian Asian Americans, men, Christians, various groups 127 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: who are protected by the civil rights laws to exercise 128 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: and defend their rights by filing lawsuits. 129 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 5: And I know that lawsuits. 130 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: Are being one by white Americans and by men who 131 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: have been discriminated against because they are male, because you know, 132 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 3: they have a female boss or female bosses that have 133 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 3: accused them of being you know, toxic because they're male, 134 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 3: or they and they openly tell men, they tell white. 135 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 5: People, we have to promote. 136 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 3: You know, someone asked you cannot take advantage of this 137 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: scholarship or this promotion opportunity because of your race. That 138 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: is blatantly against the law. More Americans need to know 139 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 3: their rights, and one of the things I've tried to 140 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: do with my research is to make them aware. And 141 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 3: so even before the adversity of diversity, I published a book, 142 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 3: A Black Eye for America had critical race theory is 143 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 3: brenning down the house, and critical race theory. 144 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 5: Both of those theories are. 145 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 3: Deeply rooted in neomoxism, and the end goal of neomoxism 146 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 3: is to bring down America, to usher in globalism, to 147 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: get rid of First world countries. 148 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: Doctor Swain, do you think if Claudine Gay the president 149 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: of Harvard or fired that it would be an improvement? 150 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: Do you think it would send an important message or 151 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: is all of this toxicity with which I think it's 152 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: fair to say she is a standard bearer for, is 153 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: it so deeply embedded in these universities now that it 154 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: doesn't really change anything because the next person up will 155 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: basically be a clone of doctor Gay in many ways 156 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: as well, and that they'll bring leave the same things. 157 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: What should happen in your mind here? 158 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 5: Ability? 159 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 3: And if Harvard University wants to be considered a world 160 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 3: class university again, they have to do something about doctor 161 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: Gay because doctor Gay is an embarrassment to education in America, 162 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 3: not just in higher education, but also K through twelve. 163 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 3: And my hope is that we are at a turning point. 164 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 3: And at universities, they're losing students because students are not 165 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 3: seeing a college education as a good investment. And I 166 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 3: have met parents and grandparents who are given that children 167 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: an option of taking that college money that was saved 168 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: up and starting businesses rather than going to a four 169 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 3: year college. 170 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 5: So they're losing students, they're losing respect. 171 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: They're at a point where they could actually do the 172 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: right thing, and all they have to do is to 173 00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 3: bring back the original intent of higher education to exposed 174 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 3: students to a marketplace of ideas, to create an environment 175 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 3: where you're exposed to new ideas, where you have to 176 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 3: wrestle with new ideas. That's how critical thinking takes place. 177 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 3: It cannot take place in indoctrination centers. And I would 178 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: also contend that it hurts racial and ethnic minorities the most, 179 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: and especially those of us of all races, who were 180 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 3: worked out butts off to get where we are. When 181 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,839 Speaker 3: they lord the standards and they laud them for someone 182 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 3: who's had an opportunity to have the best education that 183 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: America has to offer and they're law on the standard 184 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 3: for that person, I don't think so. And I said 185 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 3: in another interview, I cannot let this go. 186 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 5: I can't let it. 187 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: Go because the future of American education is at stake 188 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 3: and what is happening is harming everyone. And I intend 189 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 3: to stay on Doctor Gaye's not doctor gay because I 190 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 3: don't know about whether she earned her doctor, but President 191 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: Gay's case just like quite on. 192 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: Rice, I'm just your son, Doctor Swain.

We all understand. You know, 258 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: why doesn't this happen? 259 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 4: It's weird. Do you think this happens with like. 260 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 2: The you know, the governor of Texas, or this happened 261 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 2: and the governor of Tennessee having a only people of 262 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: color Christmas party? No, but the mayor of Boston would 263 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: be like if the mayor of San Francisco did this 264 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 2: or something, you could say to yourself, Ah, the left 265 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: wing wokeness. We're finally seeing exactly what they really think 266 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: during this holiday season. 267 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: And also, would anybody believe if somebody had a white's 268 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: only Christmas party and the mayor came out and they 269 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: were like, hey, you know, this was just an email error. 270 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: You know when we said only white people can come, 271 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: that was a total with We actually meant everybody could 272 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: come when we said only white people can't come. 273 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 4: It's kind of pretty intentional. 274 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: And it's just so tone death and stupid that only 275 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: somebody who is woke could make this mistake, right, I 276 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: don't think that anybody else would even try this. 277 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: And somebody said it is good. The Boston Globe is 278 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 4: not even covering this hardly buck. 279 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: Well, you think about how they would cover it if 280 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: some sort of exclusion area event. 281 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: But but this goes to DEI and wokeness political correctness. 282 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: I actually like that turn too, because we built over 283 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: many years or revulsion to it. And that's wokeness is 284 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 2: just weaponized political correct correctness, meaning it's just the next 285 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: level of Instead of just you have to say the 286 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 2: nice things or else we're gonna get mad at you, 287 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 2: it's say the crazy things or will fire you. Right, 288 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 2: it's just an escalation. But it all is self contradictory. 289 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: And you see this we mentioned yesterday on college campus 290 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: is the notion of having separate housing for racial minorities 291 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: on campus. I mean, Clay, that is so racist unless 292 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: Democrats and left wingers do it, and then it's somehow 293 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 2: creating safe spaces for those minorities to thrive. We say, wait, 294 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 2: a whole lot of second, which which one is it? 295 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: You know, I mean it's a totally broken Yeah, there's 296 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: no actual principle. It is just the the capricious wielding 297 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:56,959 Speaker 2: of power. 298 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 4: And that's really what's at the heart of all this. 299 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 2: You know, advances and artificial intelligence have dominated the tech 300 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 2: industry this year. We see it, We feel the effect 301 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 2: of AI every day with enhancements to the items and 302 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: services we use, smart devices, improved advances in diagnostic tools, 303 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 2: and the healthcare industry better faster customer service prompts and solutions. 304 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 2: It's safe to say AI is here to stay, and 305 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: it's only going to become more important in the future. 306 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 2: Colin ted arts he is a tech expert who believes 307 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: this is the beginning of a new era where AI 308 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 2: can help make you rich. When the market hit rock 309 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: bottom in November twenty twenty two, Colin recommended shares of 310 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 2: a top software company, saying the upside in the company 311 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: is there and that company is up more than two 312 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: hundred percent.

But the part where I think 338 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 2: anybody who was open minded, which is less than half 339 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 2: of the GOP electorate, I would say, but open minded 340 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: to the possibility of a because if you're a trump 341 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: port and it's even less if you're a Trumper of 342 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 2: Aveak person, I think you have no interest in Governor Christie. 343 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: If you're a and this is just my opinion, but 344 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: you know I'm right. If you are a desantist person, 345 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 2: I think you have pretty much no interest in Governor 346 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 2: Christie as well. I think it's only the only crossover 347 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 2: is whatever his numbers are. It's like eleven percent in 348 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 2: New Hampshire or something right now, right, and Nicky Haley 349 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 2: right now, that's it for him. It's Nicky Haley and 350 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 2: Governor Christie. So he said he's not endorsing her, and 351 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: there's not some you know, secret plan or anything. Okay, fine, 352 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: but that's the wing of the GOP that they have 353 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: to work with. And when he said the thing about parents' 354 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: rights when it comes to transgender surgery for minors, I mean, Clay, 355 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 2: I just I wish we had more time, and I 356 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: don't wanna, you know, I don't want to do the 357 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: thing what you do where you you know, you attack 358 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 2: somebody's argument. 359 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 4: We're not attacking him. We're attacking his argument. 360 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 2: But I mean, come on, man, like you know, by 361 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 2: the way, I do think it's interesting because I brought 362 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 2: up the issue of disciplining children. There are lines actually, 363 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 2: and it is child abuse to you know, to strike 364 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: your child and create damage and physical pain. Right, I 365 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 2: mean giving someone a tap on the butt or something 366 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 2: as a you know, as a spank is a little 367 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 2: bit different. We draw these lines. You know, if you 368 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: tap somebody on the shoulder. That's not punching them in 369 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 2: the face. But you don't get to say, you know, 370 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 2: I burn my child with a hot iron because that's 371 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 2: how I think discipline should be. 372 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought there were two things that stood out 373 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: to me from the Chris Christi interview. One is the 374 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: trans issue, which I just think he's wrong on. And 375 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: I think, you know, you can sum it up really 376 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: well by just in almost every state in America, if 377 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: you take a child and you get them a tattoo, 378 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: you get a permanent etching on their body, and they 379 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: are thirteen or fourteen years old. First of all, that's 380 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: not permissible in most states. That would be something that 381 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: a parent could be charged they crime for. So if 382 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: in our reasoned, knowledgeable basis of understanding parenting and parenting rights, 383 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: we have said, hey, a thirteen or a fourteen year 384 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: old shouldn't be allowed to get a permanent tattoo, and 385 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: a parent who takes someone to a tattoo parlor to 386 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: get that done can be held criminally responsible for doing so, 387 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: how in the world can we simultaneously say the same 388 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: parent could take their kid to a doctor and get 389 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, it's some graphic to some people, but 390 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: the breasts of a thirteen or fourteen year old girl 391 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: chopped off. 392 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 4: Crime mean some of these love the tattoo comparison. 393 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: And I mean, but the people that are arguing for 394 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 2: transgender surgery for miners are arguing that it's a medically 395 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: necessary procedure. No one argues that a tattoo is a 396 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: medically necessary procedure. It's a physical adornment. 397 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: But the way that I look at it is, we 398 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: don't allow bodies to be permanently altered by by minors. Yeah, 399 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: but I mean if a kid had an infection in 400 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: his foot and you had to amputate his foot, you know, yeah, 401 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: we do allow you know, that's medically necessary. No one 402 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: getting a flaming dragon on your shoulder is going to 403 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,479 Speaker 1: save your life is but it's yes, No one I 404 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: don't believe can argue that this is medically necessary. 405 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 4: And so I think that's a tough position. 406 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 2: But but the left doesn't even advocate for The left 407 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,960 Speaker 2: does argue that the transgender surgery for minors is very 408 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 2: it's medically necessary, it is essential to their basic humanity. 409 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 4: It's a civil rights struggle. 410 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,479 Speaker 2: So that's the only place where I think, I mean, 411 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: to your point, it's like we have rules about things 412 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 2: that are much lesser in importance, that are that are 413 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 2: enforced for minors. 414 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: Parent rights are restricted when it comes to changing the 415 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: kid's bodies all the time. 416 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 4: And the truth is, you know, and look, obviously there's 417 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 4: different levels here. 418 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, like technically if a parent is 419 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 2: out with their with their you know, nineteen year old 420 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 2: and orders wine for the table, like, is that legal? 421 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 4: Though technically that's not legal. 422 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 2: We don't lock people up for that, and you know, 423 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 2: I think there's some understandable and prosecutorial discretion and you know, 424 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: it would be crazy to bother a parent about that, 425 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 2: but it is technically illegal, right, I mean you can't. 426 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 2: You can't serve your nineteen year old kid alcohol at 427 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 2: home or in public, yes, which I mean, I think 428 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: it makes sense. I think the drinking age should be eighteen. 429 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 2: I have a whole others. You know, I think the 430 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,479 Speaker 2: drinking age being twenty. Why not make it thirty? I mean, 431 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 2: the whole thing is absurd. But you know, I think 432 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 2: that you really run into problems when you're going to 433 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 2: allow a I mean, the real issue here, Clay is 434 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: it is actually a mental illness, and it is never 435 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 2: medically necessary to change your biology to suit some psychological need. 436 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 2: That's actually the center of the fight, right. The medical 437 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 2: necessity is everything, because if it is a medical necessity, 438 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 2: then it's in a different category than drinking or tattoos 439 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 2: or whatever. 440 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 441 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: And the other one that stood out to me buck 442 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: Associated was he said he would prosecute Donald Trump if 443 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: he were a United States attorney, which I don't know 444 00:24:58,480 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: that he said that regular. 445 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 4: I know that to me is crazy. That's great. 446 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I was gonna ask this question, and 447 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 2: we again, we ran out of time, and I encourage 448 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: anyone who didn't hear it go back download the iHeartRadio app. 449 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 2: You can listen to the podcast on de Man. We'll 450 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: have it up probably by the time you're even listening to. 451 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 4: Us live here. 452 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 2: But I was gonna ask him, well, would you would 453 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 2: you if you you know, he's obviously not the prosecutor, right, 454 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 2: I was gonna ask him, would you pardon Donald Trump 455 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 2: if you became president, which one is not going to. 456 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 4: Happen, right, He's not going to become president, but whatever. 457 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: But I can't even ask that question because clearly, if 458 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 2: he would prosecute Donald Trump. He's not going to pardon 459 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, right, So wow, Yeah. 460 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: And I think the key there is and this is 461 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: where I think he's on the bidding of the enemy Clay. 462 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: It's very sorry to inter up, but it's very frustrating. 463 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: You know, he used to be a Republican, but to 464 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: make that decision, regardless of what you think about Trump, 465 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 1: to set the precedent of trying to put the chief 466 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: political rival of the sitting president of the United States 467 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: in prison for the rest of his life. For anybody 468 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: who studies the law, whether you're a Democrat, Republican, or 469 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: an independent, I just think it's an incredibly irrational decision 470 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: that is going to lead to more instability in our country. 471 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: And don't think that Trump is going to be the 472 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: last that is used as an example here. They're trying 473 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 1: to set the precedent that they can do this. 474 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 2: I also like to remind people because I feel like 475 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 2: this doesn't get talked about much. Donald Trump, by his 476 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 2: own public admission, in twenty sixteen, decided to leave the 477 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: Hillary email situation alone. And because she broke the law, 478 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 2: and I know plenty of federal prosecutors I personally know 479 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 2: federal prosecutors who have told me I would have charged 480 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: that case. 481 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,360 Speaker 4: They wouldn't have locked. 482 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 2: Her up for twenty years or whatever, but they would 483 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 2: have made her take a plea deal, admit guilt, you know, 484 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 2: be unable to hold the clearance. 485 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 4: Again, you know, I don't know, maybe thirty days or something. 486 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 2: And they send people to jail for a lot for 487 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 2: some things with classified information. Point being though, there should 488 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 2: have been some admission of wrongdoing and guilt made because 489 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: she definitely was under the recklessness component in that statute, 490 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 2: if there is such a thing as recklessness. And Donald 491 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: Trump made the decision for all of the Oh Trump 492 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 2: is hitler, and you know, yeah, and he's kind of 493 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: a brass knuckles guy. He said it's best for the 494 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: country to leave this alone. He could he could have 495 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 2: sent his attorney general after Hillary. I know that we 496 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 2: were told that never happens. It happens, folks, look at 497 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 2: this administration. He could have done that, nobody would have known. 498 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 2: But he didn't do it because it wasn't in the 499 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: interest of the country to prosecute his chief political rival. 500 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 4: Joe Biden is doing that. 501 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, there are people who were upset with 502 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: Trump because he was actually too generous. Some people thought 503 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: too Hillary, after all the lock her up chance, But 504 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: I think he was right on the president of Hey, 505 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: let's let the elections decide who the president is. And 506 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: you can't try and put your chief political adversary in prison. 507 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: I think it is absolutely unacceptable. 508 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 2: And I guess also just for me, I mean, this 509 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: really is what comes across when I see when I 510 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 2: would see Christy on stage. You know, he's making this 511 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 2: case about Donald Trump and how he's not fit and 512 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 2: everything else. And I sit here and I go, you know, 513 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 2: what really determines fitness the electorate and the guys. 514 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 4: That's the entire purpose of a democratic system. 515 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, so this this argument, oh he's not fit, I 516 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 2: sit here and I say, I mean, he was a 517 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 2: really good president and the country was in much better shape. 518 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 4: There's no question about that, you know. 519 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: And whenever I start to say this too, I'm honestly 520 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 2: really sick of I get some of the DeSantis uh, 521 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 2: you know supporters in the audience. Oh, you're on for Trump, 522 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 2: we said here, and we're just living in reality, folks. 523 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 2: DeSantis is a phenomenal governor. Phenomenal governor of the state 524 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: of Florida, a true conservative, a brilliant guy. I think 525 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,239 Speaker 2: DeSantis is great. I think Trump is great. I think 526 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 2: Vivek is really interesting in a music and very smart. 527 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 2: Like I mean, I like these people. I'm not going 528 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 2: to try one for the benefit of the other. Obviously 529 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: we don't endorse here, but when I see Governor Christy, 530 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 2: I just feel like he's turned into Captain Ahab And 531 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: you know, Trump is the white whale for him, and 532 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 2: it's just it's not about the country anymore. For a 533 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: lot of these people. They it's like a Trump derangement 534 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 2: syndrome thing. And I would have said this to him, 535 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 2: And we'll have him back at some point, although a 536 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 2: lot of gonna yellow us for having him on at all, 537 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,479 Speaker 2: but I will have him back because I think it's 538 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: important to fight it out on some of these issues. 539 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 4: You know, that's for me. 540 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: Look, if you just want people to and I would 541 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: put the Christy conversation we had in the same category 542 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: we did with Mike Pince. If we have disagreements with candidates, 543 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: do you want us to just pretend that everything is 544 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: hunky dory? I think you actually conflict is good. That's 545 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: how you reach a resolution. I think Christy's really wrong 546 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: on prosecuting Trump, and I think he's really wrong on 547 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: the trans kit issue. And I can't get past both 548 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: of those because to me, they are integral questions that ever, 549 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: everyone who is voting in the presidential primary, whether you're 550 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: a Democrat or Republican, should want the answer on and. 551 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 2: I will, I will give credit, and this will get 552 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: me some booze from the from the from the bleachers. 553 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 2: He's willing to come on and fight it out a 554 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 2: little bit. You know, there are other credit we give 555 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: credit to anybody. 556 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 4: I mean, you guys should see. 557 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 2: You know, we try to get Mitch McConnell when he 558 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 2: sells out to come on and you know, crickets, that's 559 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 2: never gonna happen, right, And we try to get some 560 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: of these people to come on the show. So at 561 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 2: least credit to people who are willing to come on 562 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 2: and defend their In this case, I mean, the trans 563 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: kid thing is just that's just a non starter for 564 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 2: the GOP. I don't know, I don't know why he's 565 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 2: so wrong on that. I know he hates Trump, I 566 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 2: get that, Why is he so wrong on the trans 567 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 2: kid thing. I don't see why he doesn't understand that 568 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 2: issue more clearly, and as a. 569 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: Parent of four kids, I don't know if it's sometimes 570 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: you're influenced by the community you're in more so than 571 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: you are what your own logic would lead you. Again, 572 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: if you're over eighteen and you decide that you want 573 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: to change your gender, I don't think that's probably gonna 574 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: make you a lot happier personally, But I think you 575 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: should be able to make as an adult decisions for 576 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: your life. The idea that we let any kid do 577 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: it to me is just absolutely indefensible, and I think 578 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: it's disqualifying. If you're a Republican candidate, won't say that 579 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: New Year, great time to reset, get some goals for 580 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: the next one.

In Theory Buck, I am soon to 614 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: depart for Australia with my three kids and my wife, 615 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: but the Travis household has been torn asunder this morning. 616 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: Our flight to Australia was canceled this morning, so I 617 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: have no earthly idea what the travel situation is actually 618 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: going to look like. And this is not an easy 619 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: flight to take in the first place. So I think 620 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: and am hopeful that we are still going to be 621 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: able to get to Australia, and if we do, then 622 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: I will be there for Christmas and New Years and 623 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,760 Speaker 1: be back with you guys after the first of the year. 624 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: But it's also possible we don't go anywhere. So this 625 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: is like a whole bit frustrated. You can't abandon We 626 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: got a few things here. First of all, I'm sure 627 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: we got a few pilots in the audience here who 628 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: could probably swoop over. It's a sixteen hour flight. I'm 629 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: not asking for a you know, a quick stop over here. 630 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: There's a lot of true specific. 631 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 2: You're not you're not running late for the big game 632 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 2: in Tuscaloosa or something like You're gonna. 633 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: Have mentioned this earlier in the show, so evidently Delta 634 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: canceled our flight because we had an American flight to 635 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: get us to la and somehow some idiot at Delta 636 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: canceled our flight to Sydney, Australia, and so now we're scrambling. 637 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: Canceled the flight still exist, they just canceled our reservation. 638 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: I don't know how this is even possible, but the 639 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: house has been a total mess as we're trying to 640 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: get all this resolved in time to be able to 641 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: get there. 642 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,439 Speaker 4: So I don't I've never even heard of this happening. 643 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: They just said, hey, you don't have a We took 644 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 1: all five of your tickets and sold them to someone else, 645 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,799 Speaker 1: and now you don't have a flight to Australia. 646 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 4: Sean might be stuck in. 647 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if if Hannity's plane is to be 648 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,000 Speaker 1: fair even big enough to get to Australia. This is 649 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: like a fifteen or sixteen hour flight, So Delta stop 650 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: at a few Pacific islands, it'll be fine. I don't 651 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 1: know how Delta is this incompetent. I don't know how 652 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: they have managed to screw this up, but evidently we 653 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: don't have flights now, so so I could be in 654 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: La and just hanging out. So, you know, maybe we'll 655 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: go to UH to go check out the Hollywood Sign 656 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 1: and the Walk of Fame and Grummin Theater and all 657 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: that area. 658 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 5: LA. 659 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: You know, there's plenty of places to sleep in LA. 660 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: They'll let you sleep anywhere, so so who knows. 661 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you could theoretically turn this into a family camping trip. 662 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 2: At the Hollywood Sign, we could camp.
