00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Tuesday Edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: We are joined now by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. He

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: has a brand new book that is out right now

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: that I know many of you will be checking out.

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: And as we bring in the governor, what'd you find

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: the writing of a book like compared to the other

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: aspects of being a governor and a leader. What was

9
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: the bookwriting process like for you? Well, it gave me

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: the chance to kind of reflect on what Florida has

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: done over the last four years and what it's meant

12
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: really for the country, because we've had so many people

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: that have come to Florida to visit, to escape some

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: of the bad policies in other parts of the country,

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: and even to uproot their families and make Florida their home.

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: And I think it's a great story because we see

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: the federal government floundering, we see some of these big

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: blue states floundering, and yet Florida as an example that

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: you know you can succeed. Yeah, you got to stand

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: in there, you got to fight against a lot of

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: entrenched interest, but you can beat the left wing elites,

22
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: and you can deliver real results for the people that

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 1: you represent. And not only that, but they will respond

24
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: in record fashion by giving you a big victory. Because

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: I got elected with thirty two thousand votes in twenty eighteen.

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Come November of twenty twenty two, after four years of successes,

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: we won by one point five million votes. Hey, Governor,

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: it's Buck. You know, I know. The book is The

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Courage to Be Free, Florida's blueprint for America's revival. I

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: want to we want to ask you about that blueprint here,

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: of course, but but first you mentioned this about how

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: people will respond to good policies. Can you just update

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: as the governor, you you certainly know the latest update

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: everybody on what has happened in Florida. Buy the numbers

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: people moving there, the crime rate, the economy. You know

36
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: you're talking about the success story. Tell everybody what that

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: has meant. Sure, so, our crime rates at a fifty

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: year low. We're the nation's fastest growing state. We've led

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: the nation in net in migration every year that I've

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: been governor. We're number one in economic freedom and education freedom.

41
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: We have one of the lowest per capita state tax

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: burdens in America, one of the lowest per capita state

43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: debt burdens in America, and we have the largest budget

44
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: surplus in the history of the state of Florida. When

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: I was elected four years ago, they were close to

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand more registered Democrats in the state of

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: Florida than Republicans, and we've never had more registered Republicans

48
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: than Democrats in Florida history. Today we've got four hundred

49
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand more registered Republicans than Democrats, and so

50
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: I think it shows that the success has driven good

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: political results. I think we've had people move who've been

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: drawn to the Florida model, and I think that they

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: were more likely to agree with me. But I do

54
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: think we've got a lot of people in Florida who

55
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: may have voted the other way in the past, who

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: we've been able to convert over our side because they've

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: seen that we've been right on these issues. Talking to

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: Florida Governor Ryan De Santis specifically speaking to that you

59
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: started coming on with me on my sports radio show

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: to argue that kids needed to be in school, that

61
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Florida was going to open up. And not only are

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: you going to open up. Kids are gonna be able

63
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: to play high school football in twenty twenty. There's a

64
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: lot of people out there listening to us right now

65
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: who kids didn't get to go to school in person.

66
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: They had to wear masks, something that you fought against.

67
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: They weren't able to play sports. They lost a huge

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: part of their educational opportunity because they had failed leadership.

69
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: A state like California is a good example of that.

70
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: What do we need to see? I'm sure you saw

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: the Department of Energy now says, oh, this loot leaked

72
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: from COVID did a Wuhan lab. Everything that people like

73
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: you and me and Buck have been arguing for years

74
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: is basically being proven true. What should happen? What should

75
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: an look like? Given the state of Florida, your leadership,

76
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: you got everything right, and yet it seems like most

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Democrats still don't want to acknowledge all that they got wrong. Yeah,

78
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you know, when you and I

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: would talk about the sports, we were like some of

80
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: the only people in the country saying these kids need

81
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: to be playing sports. I mean, I roundly criticized an

82
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: attack because we said we had UFC the first live

83
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: sporting event after COVID was Florida in May of twenty

84
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: twenty in Jacksonville, and we got killed how the press

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: for doing that. And then we had the golf and

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: we had the youth sports all summer and everything. And

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: you look, if your parents didn't want their kids playing

88
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 1: because of COVID, I don't think that's the right decision.

89
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: But fine, weren't forcing anyone play, but we had to

90
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: allow that. And I'll tell you you remember when the

91
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: Big Ten and the Pac twelve canceled the season in

92
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: the summer of twenty twenty. The SEC was moving in

93
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: that direction and I was working behind the scenes, and

94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: I said, the University of Florida is not going to

95
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: be part to canceling the college football season. And so

96
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: we got Florida right, and we made sure the r

97
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: ACC schools were in line, and they wanted to be

98
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: Florida State in Miami. And so when the SEC and

99
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: the AC said no, no, no, we're playing and then

100
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: they start doing it, that put huge pressure on the

101
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: Big Ten to reverse and they had to and it

102
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: was really embarrassing what ended up happening with them. Same

103
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: thing with our high school season. They were very close

104
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: because ours is run by a private association. It's not

105
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: run by our Department of Education. This private association was

106
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: very close to canceling false sports, so we had to

107
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: spend a lot of capital to make sure that we

108
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: saved the season, and we did. And now people look

109
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: back and it's like, oh, of course that was the

110
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: right thing to do. But at the time we were

111
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: in the very, very small minority. Every single expert criticized us.

112
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: When we had our high school athletic association determined as

113
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: they have a medical committee, every single doctor was saying

114
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: that this was going to be damaging for kids to

115
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: have them play sports, it to allow them to play sports,

116
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: and they were all wrong. So I think when you're

117
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: talking about what needs to be done, I mean, the

118
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: high levels of the bureaucracy just need to be flushed out.

119
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: I mean, these are failed agencies when you talk about

120
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: things like the CDC and the FDA, and also some

121
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: of the people in these medical societies that really pursued

122
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: politics ret in ideology rather than following the data. And look,

123
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's just some people will never

124
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: admit that they were wrong because they think that that's

125
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,559
Speaker 1: bad for them. But like for you to say certain

126
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: things in March of twenty twenty when we didn't have

127
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: all the data in. You know, you can kind of

128
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: understand and give someone a mulligan. But once the data

129
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: is in and you continue to keep your head in

130
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: the sand and advocate for destructive policies, you should not

131
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: be in a position of leadership ever. Again, speaking to

132
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: Florida Governor Row De Santis, his book is out today,

133
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: The Courage to Be Free, Florida's Blueprint for America's Bible. Governor,

134
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: take us through the blueprint, because obviously you're the governor

135
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: of Florida, and you've had tremendous success there, and you've

136
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: had so many people that have moved. I think voting

137
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: with their feet is the single most clear and most

138
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: important way that they can show how they feel about

139
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: your governance and what's going on in the state of Florida.

140
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: How does this translate though, to other states? How is

141
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: this a blueprint for other places across the country to

142
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: have the same kind of economic boom but just also

143
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: increases in freedom and prosperity in a sense of forward momentum. Well,

144
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: I think there's there's three things. One is, you've got

145
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: to be grounded in the right principles, and I think

146
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: everything we've done in Florida grows out of the basic

147
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: foundations that have made America what it is today that

148
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: the founding fathers talked about that are reflected in our constitution,

149
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: and that end of itself is much different than what

150
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: you would see in a state like California, where where

151
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: they go a much different way. Second, you have to

152
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: recognize if you want a free state right now in

153
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: this day and age, it's not just protecting people from

154
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: government over each. Of course you have to do that,

155
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: but we have a lot of power exercised by non

156
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: governmental agencies or organizations Corporate America, big Tech. You also

157
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: have wokeness and the federal bureaucracy and in universities and

158
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: so people. I think part of freedom is being free

159
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: from having the left impose its agenda on you. But

160
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: that means you've got to fight across all those different

161
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: terrain and we've done that here in Florida. And then finally,

162
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: when you're doing that, I mean we call it the

163
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: courage to be free. Because leadership has a cost, and

164
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: particularly if you're standing for the things that Florida has

165
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: stood just know the less, not just gonna lie down

166
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: and let you do it. They're gonna fight because you're

167
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: fighting on their turf. You show a different example for

168
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: the rest of the country. The unfavorable comparisons between these

169
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: blue states in Florida. You know that calls in the

170
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: question their whole worldview. So they're gonna attack you, they're

171
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: gonna smear you, they're gonna distort it, they're gonna do

172
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: whatever they can, and you got to be willing to

173
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: take that fire, standstrong, and fight back. I loved it.

174
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: I was down in Florida for July fourth, and Gavin

175
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: Newsom is running ads on Fox News as I'm sitting

176
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: on my couch down there in my Florida place, which

177
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: thankfully I'm happy to have you as a governor down there.

178
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: And he's lost eight hundred thousand population in California in

179
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 1: terms of net migrations out you have gained seven hundred thousand,

180
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: which is sorry, he's lost seven hundred thousand. You guys

181
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: have gained eight hundred thousand, which is pretty crazy. And

182
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: I believe the report is we wrote about this at OutKick.

183
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's own in laws relocated from California to Florida

184
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: and donated to you. Now, that is amazing. But as

185
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: Buckas said, isn't voting with your feet between California and

186
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: Florida a pup perfect approximation? I would say, you, guys,

187
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: as current governors handled COVID about as different as two

188
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: governors could, and overwhelmingly Americans have voted with their own

189
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: residency in your favor. Isn't that like sign sealed and

190
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: delivered in the argument? Yeah, especially when you consider I

191
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: mean think about we had a lot of people flee

192
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: from New York, right, but we've always had people moved

193
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: from New York. You know, you live a life in

194
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 1: New York, you retire, you go to Boca. Doesn't mean

195
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: you hate New York necessarily. Now, recently there's been a

196
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: lot of people that have been dissatisfied, granted, but to

197
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: go from California and to go three thousand miles across

198
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: the continent to come to Florida, you know, that is

199
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: a huge, huge thing. And I grew up in Florida

200
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: and I never saw a California license plate in my

201
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: life until growing up, and then until I became governor,

202
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: you started to see them. And I'll tell you a

203
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: lot of Florida voters freaked out because they were thinking,

204
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: these are a lot of liberal California voters. But it

205
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: turns out these are people that were just affected by

206
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: what was going on out there, and they would pick

207
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: up and move. That is a very powerful statement to

208
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: move your family across the continent. And as you guys know,

209
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: I mean like if you're in if you move from

210
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: New York, you can hop on a plane from Palm

211
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 1: Beach back up to JFK. It's a two and a

212
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: half hour flight, see your family, whatever. But it's a

213
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: big deal going across the country. And the fact that

214
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: people were willing to do that, And oh, by the way,

215
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: we're proud of being the Sunshine State. California's got pretty

216
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: dog on good weather too, So it isn't like they're

217
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: leaving the cold of Minnesota to move the Naples. They're

218
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: leaving a state that was the ideal for the American

219
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: dream for most of our lifetimes and even probably before that,

220
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: and now is a state that's hemorrhaging people at record numbers.

221
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: And while Florida is enjoying its biggest ever budget surplus,

222
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: California's facing close to a thirty billion dollar budget deficit,

223
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: Governor de Santis is with us now. The Courage to

224
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: be Free is the book. You know, you have the blueprint,

225
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: Governor what states are already starting to implement. What you

226
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: would say is that the pathway to the prosperity and

227
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: freedom in the American revival. I mean, where else are

228
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: you seeing governors doing things that you say that makes

229
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: sense to me, that's the right move. Well, I think

230
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: if you look, people focused on our red wave in Florida,

231
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: and it was it was legitimate, But there was a

232
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: red wave in Iowa under Governor Kim Reynolds. And if

233
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: you look at what Kim's done on education, fighting back

234
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: against COVID authoritarianism, what she's done to keep Iowa safe

235
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: with law and order. She's done a lot of the

236
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: stuff you know that we've done in the state of Florida.

237
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: And what I tell her is when the people from

238
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: the Midwest come down, mostly to Southwest Florida, you run

239
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: into them. Yeah, the people from Illinois are really bitter

240
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: about what's going on in Illinois. The people in Michigan

241
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: were very bitter, particularly during COVID. People from Iowa, you know,

242
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: they're happy to be in Florida. But they like Iowa,

243
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: they like and they're they're just much more happy with

244
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: what's going on back home. I think that's a testament

245
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 1: to her. I think you look at other states that

246
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: have gained population, like Georgia. You know, Governor Kemp opened

247
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: up Georgia. He was being attacked by Fauci and even

248
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: people at the White House and was willing to stand

249
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: his ground on that. And I thought that that was

250
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: a huge, huge thing, and I thought that that benefited

251
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: Georgia tremendously. Clay, you know, Tennessee is booming. I mean,

252
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, you have people. When I was in Nashville

253
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: during COVID, the energy felt somewhere to what you see

254
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: in Florida where all these people are coming. I don't

255
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: know if they're how they're voting, hopefully they're voting the

256
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: right way, but clearly, you know, it's drawing a lot

257
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: of people who are looking for greener pastures. So I

258
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of success stories, and I think

259
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: that it's great to have a healthy competition with all

260
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: these different states. And really it's just been a competition

261
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: to see, you know, who's going to receive more people

262
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: from the failed woke states. You're right about Tennessee. Last

263
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: question for you, it's number one question everybody in our

264
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: audience has. Are you going to run for president in

265
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and what is the time frame to

266
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: make that decision. Well, as I told people, I have

267
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: a legislative session coming up. We have supermajorities now, and

268
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to deliver a huge agenda

269
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: for Florida, and so that's going to be my focus.

270
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: I am talking about the book partially because I'm proud

271
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: of what we've done in Florida. So I've got the

272
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: next probably three months where I'm going to be focusing

273
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: on that, and then we'll get on the other side

274
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: of that, and who knows, maybe I'll come on your

275
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: show if if I have an announcement to make. I

276
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: think that would be an excellent idea Governor, just throwing

277
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: that out there, Yeah, and we would certainly welcome that opportunity,

278
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: and we appreciate the time. Good luck. Hey, I hope

279
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: the New York Times will allow you to open number

280
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: one overall. You know they have that rigged best seller

281
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: list that they don't typically allow a lot of conservatives.

282
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: So good luck on the rankings. Yeah, you know, but

283
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: I think I win either way because if they blackball me,

284
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: and I clearly have sold the most and that will

285
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: get a lot a lot of positive feedback on that too. Well,

286
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: this audience is going to mobilize the courage to be free.

287
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: Florida's blueprint for America's revival. Get a copy, Governor Ronda Santis.

288
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, sir, Take care, guys, Bye bye.

289
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: You know all about how woke activists seize control of

290
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,119
Speaker 1: America's schools. Now a group of investment firms that Americans

291
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: andtions and retirements are playing woke politics with your money

292
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: without our knowledge or consent. A few large investment firms

293
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: names you know that control trillions of dollars of your

294
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,239
Speaker 1: money are using those dollars to advance their woke ideology

295
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: through a progressive social scoring program called EESG. They claim

296
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: it promotes corporate responsibility, but what they're really doing is

297
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: using americans hard earned money to finance their left wing

298
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: political agenda, forcing businesses to comply or else. Some state

299
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: leaders are fighting back and more are joining, letting those

300
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: investment firms know they can't play those left wing politics

301
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: with our pensions. They can either do their jobs, maximize

302
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: returns for shareholders, or get lost. To learn more, go

303
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: to Consumers Research dot org. They've been defending consumers against

304
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: fraud and abuse for decades and they still are on

305
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: the front lines. Good a consumers Research dot org to

306
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: learn more about their mission to protect consumers from woke

307
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: investment firms. That's Consumers Research dot org making sense in

308
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: an insane world. Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, you know,

309
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: we just had Governor Ron de Santisa Florida on and

310
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: I can say that every person that I know who

311
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: has left a blue state for Florida, and I know

312
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: a lot of them, is very happy with that decision.

313
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: Every person that I know who has left a blue

314
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: state for Texas and Tennessee, I would say the same

315
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: about those are the big three. I know there are

316
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: some others. You get South Carolina, get some refugees from

317
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: the Northeast, from Massachusetts in New York, and obviously Californians

318
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: have been not only moving to Texas but also Nevada

319
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: and Arizona. But Clay, I've never I can't remember a

320
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: person who was getting so much attention as a possible

321
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: presidential nominee who had not actually put his hat in

322
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: the ring to run for president before well, he said

323
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: maybe in three months, and that has been the discussion

324
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 1: has been. The Florida legislature hangs it up in May,

325
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: I think near the end of May, and that would

326
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: suggest that DeSantis would officially enter the race sometime in June.

327
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: Maybe they do a big July fourth announcement and tie

328
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: it all in together. If that is to occur, which

329
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: it seems very likely that it will. That would put

330
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: you only six months out from when the votes would

331
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: start being cast in Iowa. And I know we got

332
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people listening in Iowa and New Hampshire

333
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: and in South Carolina. We'd be on a dead sprint. Basically,

334
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: that's a relatively short window to decide who's going to

335
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: win those races. I can tell you all too. I

336
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: know this sounds like, come on, buck, but it's true.

337
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: From when I saw Descantis the last time to the

338
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: time before that, there was about a six month gap

339
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: when I saw him in person. He's lost about twenty

340
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: twenty five pounds, folks. It's a data three. He's lost

341
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: twenty pounds. I think there's a reason. I think he's

342
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: decided that it's go time. Mike Lindell and his team

343
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: at My Pillow have introduced their two point zero version

363
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: Sexton show. I teased off the top of the show,

364
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: if you missed Florida Governor Rodd Stances, you can go

365
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: subscribe to podcast. Make sure you hear that whole interview

366
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: at the top of this hour if you're just getting

367
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: in your car. I teased off the top of the

368
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: show that something unbelievable had happened. There were such a

369
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: ridiculous situation that Whoopee Goldberg and I the view stalwart

370
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: will be Goldberg and I have ended up on the

371
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: same side of an issue, and it has to do

372
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: with all of this ridiculous censorship of books rewriting. Basically,

373
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: for those of you out there who'd missed this story

374
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: is going on what seems to me quite commonly, I

375
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: would just like to drop this thought out there for

376
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: millions of people across the country. I think Whoopee needs

377
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: to invite you on the View, Clay. I think it

378
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: needs to happen. I'll be in the audience. I'll be

379
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: cheering you on Be Great TV. I think they still

380
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: require their audience to wear masks, but I would love

381
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: to go on the View as a guest. I think

382
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: I would be incredible theater. I would definitely get booed.

383
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: It would be it would be riveting, but they started

384
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: with it. I pronounced the name Rol Dahl, who wrote

385
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda James and the Giant Peach.

386
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: Probably a good chance that either you or your kids

387
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: or grandkids have read these books over the last forty

388
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: or so years fifty years, as they have been wildly

389
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: popular for many children, and they've decided to replace offensive

390
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: and offensive is in quotation marks language throughout his children's books.

391
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,239
Speaker 1: Sometimes if a kid is fat, they're now referred to

392
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: as enormous. Would be an example, even the books that

393
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: some of these kids are reaching. Sure, I'd rather be

394
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: called fat than enormous, you know. Enormous is like super

395
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: fat to be fair, yes, and mopoly is condescending. No

396
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: one wants to be called roly poly. Also like Augustus

397
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: Gloop I think was that German kid's name. If I

398
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: remember correctly, his weight is a big part of what

399
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: happens to him spoiler alert as he goes through the

400
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: chocolate factory. This is why he's like mommy on it's

401
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: a chocolate river, all of it in my mass at

402
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: one time, or I was oh, no, I fellon's a

403
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: chocolate river and I float because of my boy. Yes,

404
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: this is a very good accent. A fat kid is unable,

405
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: as you might expect, to restrain himself inside of a

406
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: chocolate factory, A bit of a bull with a with

407
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: a towel kind of situation. He's being taunted. What is you?

408
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: What is your weakness? Like? What is your your? You know,

409
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: I don't you don't smoke. I don't think you drink

410
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: my like, what is your I bring it up just because,

411
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: like I think I might have an addiction to chocolate,

412
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: which my wife could now come like, um, I that's

413
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: a fantastic question. Probably that I am. Uh, I'm overconfident,

414
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: Like I just think that I can do things that

415
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: I can't, you know, like and then I just meant

416
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: I meant more like food and substances. But okay, that's

417
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: if you're going I thought you were going deep into

418
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: the psychology there. I could eat chicken palm for every

419
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: meal I could eat, like you could eat chicken parm

420
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: that you're disgusted at yourself afterwards with how much chicken

421
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: parm you v. It's hard for me to stop eating

422
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: cobbler or pecan pie like I couldn't just go to

423
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: town on those. It's hard for me to put put

424
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: an ending to it. So back to the Chubby German

425
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: kid rolled Dhal Chubby German kid. They are changing the

426
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: language in this kid's books, and we know this has

427
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: already happened with Doctor Seuss, where they even took a

428
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: step further and said, oh my goodness, there's a drawing

429
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: or there's a plot point, or there's a page where

430
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: people are out there, and they're saying, these books can

431
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: no longer be published. Well, they're now doing it to

432
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: the James Bond books, which were written by Ian Fleming.

433
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: I think buck these books would have come out in

434
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: the early nineteen sixties. I think I am correct. The

435
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: first ever James Bond book by Ian Fleming would have

436
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: been written in like nineteen sixty something like that. Does

437
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: that sound right? Yeah. Ian Fleming is fascinating in that

438
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: he was a part of I believe, British naval intelligence

439
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: in the Second World War, so he was a guy

440
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: writing really the greatest spy novel franchise of all time

441
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: as somebody who had worked as intentially we're not supposed

442
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: to call it the spy is the person who works

443
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: for the intelligence officer just soever knows, So you don't

444
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: usually refer to yourself as a spy if you are

445
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: in the CIA or am I six. The people that

446
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: are bringing you the information are the spies. And another

447
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: thing does keep in mind if anyone ever tells you

448
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: they were a CIA agent, Clay, be very suspicious because

449
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: anybody who's ever worked in the agency knows it is

450
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: CIA officer. But Ian Flett. But I hate when they

451
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: do TV and they call me a former CI age

452
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like, now it sounds like, you know, this

453
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: was something I made up to impress ladies at bars, which,

454
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: by the way, let me tell you they're not impressed.

455
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: They're like, wait, you work for the government. How much

456
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 1: money do you make? The much rather hear your professional

457
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: sports player. And I would also say that Ian Fleming

458
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: was part of Operation Mincemeat, I believe, which if there

459
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: actually made a movie of it, which was the landing

460
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: of a well, I should say the floating of a

461
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: body with fake invasion plans off the coast of Spain.

462
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: He was part of that in real pretty cool and

463
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: actuality anyway, Sorry, but I think Ian Fleming's fascinating guy. Yeah, well,

464
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to get make sure I got this right.

465
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: The first James Bond book was published in nineteen fifty

466
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: three Casino Royale. It appears he published about twelve of them. Obviously,

467
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: those men have turned into iconic movies that continue to

468
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: have a great deal of power to this day. But

469
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: I read some of these books when I was a

470
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: kid because I was James Bond guy, and I was like,

471
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: these are super cool and interesting. And you know, as

472
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: you read a book that was written in the nineteen

473
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: fifties or the nineteen sixties, anything by modern sensibilities is

474
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: going to sound different. So they are now editing them

475
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: based on race and sexism related issue, racism and sexism

476
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: related issues. And fuck to her credit, Whoopie Goldberg on

477
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: the View has come out and ripped this idea. Listen,

478
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: look y'all got to stop this. Okay, just put a

479
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: disclaimer on it that says, listen, this book was written

480
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 1: at this time, you know, or put out the original

481
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: and what you all have done, because kids should have

482
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: the right to read how people thought, Yeah, so that

483
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: they know how to make the change. But you know,

484
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: they tried to do this with Mark Twain as well,

485
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: because they were so concerned that the N word was

486
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: in the book. Well, that's how they did it. That's

487
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: what it was. We don't want people doing it today,

488
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: and you don't see it as much. That's how people learn.

489
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: I feel like James Carville in old School when he's

490
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: like on the debate stage and goes, that was perfect.

491
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: I have no response. She's totally right. She nailed it right,

492
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: she nailed it. I mean, I think she even used

493
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: the same example as I did on the show and

494
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: we talked about dolls books being edited, Huckleberry Finn. You

495
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: need to see the totality of that work. And here's

496
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: what I would suggest. I mean, not that my books

497
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: have any sign of great historical legacy or anything, but

498
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: as an author, I find the idea that after I'm dead,

499
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: somebody can go in and change the words that I

500
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: published in my book to be awful. If I'm dead,

501
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more challenging if the existing author.

502
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 1: You know, like some people got upset buck with George

503
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: Lucas because he went back in and altered some of

504
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: his Star Wars movies right, added different scenes, did different

505
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: things that he wished he had included, and if the

506
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: author creator is still alive, I'm a bit more you know,

507
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: open to the idea of, Hey, this is my work

508
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: and I've decided I want to revise it. I don't

509
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: like it because I think the work should stand for itself,

510
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: because it's a representation of the time and era in

511
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: which it was created. And if you come back thirty

512
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: or forty years later and alter it, I don't like

513
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: that personally. But I'm at least open to the idea

514
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: if the creator of the work decides that he or

515
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: she wants to amend it in some way. But the

516
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,719
Speaker 1: idea that you change and authors works after he or

517
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: she is dead is like you should be able to

518
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: sign something that keeps that from ever occurring. Well, we

519
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: can think about you know, times in history and modesty

520
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: movements with regard to art and the fig leafs and

521
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: making leaves and making sure that you know, we weren't

522
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: showing any any exposed breasts or you know, with statues

523
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: or paintings, and who think about these these movements movements

524
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: of the past, and you think, well that that's an overreaction,

525
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: that that shouldn't be done. That's what they're doing right now.

526
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: You know, we look historically at points in time, and

527
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 1: they was like, oh, we need to cover up all

528
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: those those Greco Roman statues because of the ladies Boobs Clay.

529
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: As you know, we can always doing some more than me,

530
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: we could always believe in and we realize that that's

531
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: so silly, and yet here we are just with a

532
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: slightly different framework, doing the same thing. I mean, as

533
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: others have pointed out, I think it's an obvious points.

534
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: I'll make it as well. What happens to Shakespeare? I mean, honestly, now,

535
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: I think that the left are a lot of people

536
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: on the left who, you know, Shakespeare is a little,

537
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: a little tough. They have to actually get in and

538
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: understand some of the stuff. But they know that there's

539
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: things in there that are political being correct, things in

540
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: there that would be considered problematics. So we're gonna start

541
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: editing Shakespeare. I mean, this is where where does this end?

542
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: You know, when the Soviets did this kind of stuff,

543
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: when they were suppressing art and theater and literature, we said, oh,

544
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: how horrible it is, and it was. But somehow the

545
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: left in this country, which thinks of itself as the

546
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: place for creativity and for the creative class. They have

547
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: become the little commissars. Yeah, all the now two or

548
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: credit Whoopie Goldberg for examp bulls sending up saying this

549
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: is crazy and she's right and she deserves she deserves

550
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: the applause she got from the audience on that one,

551
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: but so many on the left, Clay, I mean, she's

552
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: not going to stop them. This is going to continue.

553
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: I wonder did it Whoopi Goldberg appear in the Color Purple?

554
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: Wasn't that when like a movie that she was in

555
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: basically the novel? I'd have to check. We'll look it

556
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: up in the break. Yes, she was. And the reason

557
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: why I bring that up is that novel was considered

558
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: very controversial. I believe it was by Alice Walker, and Whoopee,

559
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: to her credit, may recognize that the idea there are

560
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: scenes in that novel that are very problematic. Right, they're

561
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: tough sometimes for teenage kids to read. That doesn't mean

562
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: they shouldn't read it, right, And there's a difference, and

563
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 1: we talked about this on the show, and I think

564
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: it's an important one. There's also a difference between changing

565
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: the language in a book and deciding what's appropriate for

566
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: a kid to read right, and I think there's a

567
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 1: big difference there, and oftentimes it gets it gets ignored

568
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: or isn't recognized, and that's an important part of this

569
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: distinction here. So many members of this audience have joined

570
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: me in contributing to the most deserving of nonprofit organizations.

571
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: The Preborn Network. Clinics have rescued over two hundred thousand

572
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: babies over the past seventeen years. They do that one

573
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: unborn child at a time, Welcoming pregnant women who are

574
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: considering whether to choose abortion or bringing their child into

575
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 1: this world. Preborn seeks these women out before they make

576
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: the ultimate choice and introduces them to the life growing

577
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: inside of them through a free ultrasound. Donations allow Preborn's

578
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: clinics to provide that ultrasound one expectant mom, or once

579
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: an expectant mom here is that heartbeat, sees that precious life.

580
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: Most of the time, she will choose life for her baby.

581
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: Twenty eight dollars is when an ultrasound costs one hundred

582
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: and forty dollars provides five ultrasounds. Let's save some lives

583
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: together today, tomorrow, the next day, going forward as much

592
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: in the next hour we're gonna be talking about the

593
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: mayor race in Chicago, the Windy City, America's third largest.

594
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: Names for a pungent plant found along the river. You

595
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: know that clay, chicaquo earthly idea, Yes, chicaqua, it's that's

596
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: the Algonquin word for an onion like plant that is

597
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: quite smelly. That's where we get Chicago from soth. I'm

598
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: thrown it out there like Alice Cooper in Wayne's World

599
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: when he explains milliwauk a, which I've been told does

600
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: not actually mean what he says. Anyway, it doesn't matter,

601
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: but Chicaqua was true. You can check it out in

602
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: the U. In the Algonquin lie uhage, it refers to

603
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: the plant. That's where you get the name of the city.

604
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: It's amazing how history works like that. But Chicago's having

605
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: some problems irrespective where the name comes from, and Mayor

606
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Lightfoot may no longer be mayor after this election. She

607
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: faces some challenges will break that down. Also, the Supreme Court,

608
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: mister Clay Travis Esquire heard some arguments this morning over hey,

609
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: can Biden just be like, hey, man, no more paying

610
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: your student loans and stuff? Man, not a joke, turns out,

611
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to let him do that.

612
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: Five hundred billion dollars can't just be waved away with

613
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: a gesture of the hand. But something that I think

614
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: may get a lot of people fired up for a

615
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: second here, Clay and Wet we didn't preview this one

616
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: before on the show, but I think everyone needs to

617
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: know that this is a debate that is raged should

618
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: you have to or should you feel obligated to give

619
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: up your seat on an airplane so that people who

620
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: are married or trappling together can sit together. Now, I

621
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: understand there are several tiers that come into play here.

622
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: Are we talking Are we talking middle seat? For example?

623
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: Are you are you losing an aisle or a window

624
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: for that middle seat? There is a Audrey Peters, a

625
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: TikTok influencer, shared her dismay on TikTok and even being

626
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: asked to move. Some other guy from Australia had a

627
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: TikTok go viral for a guy in business class. All

628
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: the seats were in business class and it was only

629
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: four across, so no middle seats. Refused to move over

630
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: one seat across the aisle so this influencer could sit

631
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: with his wife. I mean, Clay, are what are the

632
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: rules here? We don't want to live in a barbarous world.

633
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: We want to live in a civilized world. Do you

634
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: feel like you should always give up your seat as

635
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: long as you are not downgrading the quality of your

636
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: airline seat? Or are you kind of a troll under

637
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: the bridge guy? Like sorry, seats or seats rules are rules.

638
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't have any strong opinion on the seat situation

639
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: except I'm not giving up aisle right, So, like I

640
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: fly Southwest. Southwest doesn't have designed seats, so I always

641
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: are signed seats. I should say I always go aisle.

642
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 1: So if somebody else were in an aisle seat and

643
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: there was somebody in the middle seat and they wanted

644
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: me to sit next to them. I would do that.

645
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: I also, in general, would try to move. If there's

646
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: a mom and a child, right, like a young child

647
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: or somebody that you try to make a kid be

648
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: able to sit next to their parents, I would move

649
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: for that. I don't I don't get this obsession with

650
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: I have to be sitting next to my spouse on

651
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: most flights. Right, are you with me there? Like, I mean,

652
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: you're with them all the time. Like it kind of

653
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: seems very needy that you would have to snow. I

654
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: understand if it's like a cross country flight, like at

655
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: some point where you're five or six hours, you might

656
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: fall asleep, you might want to sleep on somebody's shoulder.

657
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: But for most domestic airline travel, I don't understand the obsession.

658
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: I've been married for almost twenty years. I don't think

659
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: my wife is like, oh my god, I have to

660
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: be sitting next to my husband on this hour and

661
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: a half long flight. Kids, I totally understand. I think

662
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: it's a bit obsessive to have to sit next to

663
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 1: your significant other on a relatively short distance flight. Now,

664
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: since we've already entered the thunderdome of airline etiquette and people,

665
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: people get very passionate about the very not at me

666
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: for my stances on this. You know, I'm, for example,

667
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: in favor of the banning of children under twelve from

668
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: certain restaurants, etc. And I know some parents lose their

669
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: minds on that. We talked about that last week. But

670
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: reclining in anti recline, you're just You're just it's I

671
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: never do it because I'm basically six feet tall and

672
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm not even trying to claim to be like six

673
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: five or six six. But if someone reclines their seat

674
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: in coach class, it is almost impossibly impossible to like

675
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: use your laptop in front of you, or even have

676
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: any space at all. And then it kind of is

677
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: like when somebody stands up in a stadium, then you

678
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: feel obligated to stand up. I think I feel like

679
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: it starts with the whole trend. So I wish seats

680
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: did not recline. I'm an anti seat recline. I would

681
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: I would prefer that that was not permitted on planes.

682
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that because I've also I like

683
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: to think that I'm a pretty pretty cool character, not

684
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 1: like cool, but you know, calm, and when someone does

685
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: the rapid recline, in coach and it smacks my laptop

686
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: when I have it out on the tray. I get

687
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: very angry. I have to internalize that anger, but I'm like,

688
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: I feel like you could have almost destroyed my laptop

689
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: because you want to pretend that it's so much more

690
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: comfortable to recline twenty five degrees. You legitimately cannot work

691
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: on a laptop in coach if someone reclines in front

692
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: of you, You just can't. It doesn't the math, I mean,

693
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: like the physical nature of being able to do it

694
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: is impossible. So I'm most Chicago's mayor race is coming

695
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: up next folks, a deep dive on that, and also

696
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: Spring Coort arguments this morning, so you got to stick

697
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: around with us. H
