1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Welcome. In Thursday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show, I 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: am live at a minor league baseball stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. Buck, 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: there is no minor league baseball game going on. There 4 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: would seem to be no reason whatsoever why three different 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: guys with leaf blowers would need to be on a 6 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: field with zero leaves. But as I set down to 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: begin this broadcast, my eternal nemesis people with leaf blowers 8 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: are maybe they're doing this just because they knew I 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: was gonna be broadcasting here. There are three different guys 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: with leaf blowers walking around out on the field and 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: there are no leaves, and they're all blasting their leaf 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: blowers as loud as they possibly can. So if you 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: hear that in the background, hopefully at some point there 14 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: gasoline will run out in their leaf blowers. But I'm 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: excited to be here. I'm gonna be doing a speech 16 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: right after. It's gonna be fun. Obviously, Knoxville is an 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: awesome place. We've got a big audience all over the place, 18 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: but a lot of people up here are fans, and 19 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: so we're having a good time. Buck. Today, huge numbers 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: of our audience will be watching something that you had 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: no idea was going on until I'm about to say it. 22 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: Right now, the NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin is underway. 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: I will be watching this tonight along with probably twenty 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: million or so other people, many of whom are listening 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: to us right now. I believe Green Bay is one 26 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: of our newest affiliates, if I'm not mistaken. So we 27 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: appreciate all of you up there in Cheddarland. We were 28 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: already very popular in the state of Wisconsin, and we've 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: had a lot of awesome friends that we've made in 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: that state over the past several years. But that should 31 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: be an awesome scene. Now, a bunch of different stories 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: that are out there. Let me give you a little 33 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: bit of a roadmap of where we're headed. Dana Perino, 34 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: who for my money, may be the nicest person in 35 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: all of media. That is the standard that I think 36 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: she might well be able to win. It's a tough standard. 37 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: There are a lot of super nice people, but Dana Perino, 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: who many of you watch at America's newsroom every day 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: on Fox News with Bill Himmer, will be on with 40 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: us at one and then I think this is going 41 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: to be incredible. I'm super excited for this. Doctor Larry 42 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: arn the president of Hillsdale College. They had a fabulous 43 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: interview with him in the Saturday Sunday edition, the weekend 44 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: edition of the Wall Street Journal. And there's been so 45 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: much discussion about Harvard suing the Trump administration over what 46 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: the Trump administration is focused on there, and they actually 47 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: have a really good argument that is Hillsdale and Larry 48 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 1: are due. They said, Hey, the reason we don't take 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: federal dollars is because we want complete independence. When you 50 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: take taxpayer money, you are giving up complete independence. Why 51 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: can't Harvard, with a fifty three billion dollar endowment just 52 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: say thanks, but no thanks US federal government. We're concerned 53 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: about our ability to have complete freedom when it comes 54 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: to teaching as we see fit and running the university 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: as we see fit. Well, the President is quite clear 56 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: when you are allowing at federal tax dollars to be used, 57 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: you don't get that complete freedom. We'll dive into that 58 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: with him. I think you guys are really going to 59 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: enjoy it. But Buck, yesterday, I got a lot of 60 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: feedback from moms and dads out there who were listening 61 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: to us talk about the books that were being read 62 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: in Montgomery County schools, and honestly, even I was, I 63 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: knew that there were like kind of edgy books that 64 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: were being pushed. I went back after we talked yesterday, 65 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: book Buck and looked at these books even more. The 66 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: fact that this has gone all the way to the 67 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, that parents would be saying, hey, we need 68 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: to object to what are being read to our five 69 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: year olds and our six year olds at story time 70 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: is I think emblematic of the country just losing its way. 71 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: And not only that, I went back and read more 72 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: and studied on the Supreme Court discussion surrounding this case, 73 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: and I couldn't stop focusing Buck on Katanji Brown Jackson 74 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: and the arrogance. We may end up with a couple 75 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: of cuts from her, the questions that she asked she 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: her defense of these books being read to five year 77 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: olds that tell you, hey, if you believe you're a 78 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: boy and you're a girl, you're right and your parents 79 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: should treat you that way. And sometimes we end up 80 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: in situations where people get the gender wrong, meaning when 81 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: you are born, a doctor in the nursing room, in 82 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: the delivery room is unclear of whether you're a boy, 83 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: or a girl. This is what's being read to them. 84 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: Kataji Brown Jackson said, well, if you don't like it, 85 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: you should just switch schools. This was her actual take. 86 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: Listen to this, I guess I'm struggling to see how 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: it burdens a parent's religious exercise. If the school teaches 88 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: something that the parent disagrees with, you have a choice. 89 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: You don't have to send your kid to that school. 90 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: You can put them in another situation. 91 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: This is one of the most arrogant things I have seen, argued. 92 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: I would bet ninety five percent of the people that 93 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: are listening to us right now don't have great options 94 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: when it comes to just pulling your kid out of 95 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: your local public school. And so for her defense of 96 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: this buck to be well, if you don't like it, 97 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: you should just go to a new school. First of all, 98 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: they oppose school choice by and large. But second, it's 99 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: one of the most arrogant arguments I have heard, that 100 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: you should just change your public school. 101 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: Of course, and what you see here is the continuation 102 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: of this argument from the left that they aren't doing 103 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 3: indoctrination and in a sense, a secular religious training with 104 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 3: all this transgender delusional nonsense. 105 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: Right. 106 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 3: They've managed to try to kick God and faith out 107 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: of public schools and replace it with this Marxist credo 108 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: of insanity. And this is why they push the stuff 109 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 3: that they do as hard as they do. This is 110 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: the big question I think, Clay, we kept returning to yesterday. 111 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: Why is this so important to them? It's clearly very important, 112 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 3: so much so that they are willing to look at parents, well, 113 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: sometimes look at parents in the eyes and say, yes, 114 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,559 Speaker 3: your kid needs to learn that doctors get the gender 115 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 3: wrong at birth, like we think your kids need to 116 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: be read that in schools. It is completely nuts. But 117 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 3: it also goes to one of the great things I 118 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 3: think about the Trump administration right now and one of 119 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: the reasons why the left hates it so much. And 120 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: the more they despise either a person or a policy, 121 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: the more important I think we all recognize it to be. 122 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: And that is, Clay, the forever regime, which is what 123 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 3: the Democrats had set up for really, certainly the last 124 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 3: twenty years or so, the forever regime of the deep state, 125 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 3: people within the federal bureaucracy who are pushing in left 126 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: wing agenda. The universities which have become completely political monocultures 127 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 3: of left wing madness, media. All these things together allow 128 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: them to assert control at different levels of society even 129 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: if they lose an election. Trump is going after that, 130 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: and I think it's critical that we see that for 131 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: what it is. He is going into the kitchen of 132 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 3: the enemy and saying you don't get to just cook 133 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 3: whatever you want and call the shots anymore. And that's 134 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: really shaking them up. That's beyond just what is Congress 135 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 3: going to do? What executive orders are out there. So 136 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: I think that we're seeing, finally after many years of saying, 137 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: when are we going to take on the universities, When 138 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: are we going to start to enforce civil rights law 139 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: in a way that is advantage, let's just be honest, 140 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,559 Speaker 3: advantaging conservative and Republican and right wing points of view. 141 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 3: This has been a long time coming, and I think 142 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 3: it's fantastic. And I think that the fact that they're 143 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 3: still trying to push this transgender nonsense on the kids 144 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: in school just shows you how completely bonkers they are, 145 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: unrepentantly nuts. What I said yesterday, Clais, I sorry, I 146 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: know I'm ranty, hear, but what I said yesterday, if 147 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 3: they could force your kids to learn this stuff or 148 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: else they would do so and we all know it, 149 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: meaning that they would mandate this stuff if they could 150 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 3: get away with it. 151 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking nationwide, not just in one school district. Have 152 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: you ever been to a elementary school in read books 153 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: to kids? New in the dad game? So it would 154 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: not surprise me if you haven't. 155 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 3: I volunteered at an underserved DC public school in a 156 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 3: program a few times too. But I would think they 157 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: were like ninth graders. 158 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: I would hopefully you weren't reading books to them, but 159 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: which would be very funny. 160 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: But so I have help. I was helping me. It 161 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: was like a homework help program. But I was just 162 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 3: trying to think of this. 163 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have been to multiple schools over the years, 164 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: and I bet a lot of you with young kids, 165 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: grandparents maybe as well, have been and gotten to sit 166 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: in front of the kids and read books. And my 167 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: recollection is that when I've done it, the teacher and 168 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: the teachers have all been fantastic, have said, hey, we've 169 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: got two or three books that you can choose from. 170 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: If I brought a book like that in, if they 171 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 1: had said, hey, Clay, you know you're reading for kindergarteners today. 172 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: You can pick any book. I would see that as 173 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: a direct attack in some way on the school district 174 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: and on the kids. If I walked in with those 175 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: books that we were talking about yesterday and tried to 176 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: sit down and read it, not only would it be 177 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: inappropriate wildly, but it would actually to me be an 178 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: assault on the school itself and on those kids, because 179 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: there are ages. And this is why I think it's 180 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: a wild book. This case brings together Muslim, Jewish and 181 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: Christian parents who said this is unacceptable. And I think 182 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: everybody out there five six, seven year old kids, eight 183 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: year old, what are you doing teaching gender ideology? To them? 184 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:08,439 Speaker 1: It's actually sinister and it's nasty, and to me, it's diabolical. 185 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: I mean, this is close to evil. And what you see. 186 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: What you see is that they, and this has always 187 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: been true of. 188 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 3: A lot of this gender cult stuff, they want as 189 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 3: many people as possible to be subjected to it and 190 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: involved in it, because then you've been a part of 191 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: the process. This is one of the things that you 192 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: saw also with COVID. I might just add they wanted 193 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 3: you to police your neighbors. They wanted you to be 194 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 3: shouting at people the mask up. They wanted you to 195 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 3: be one of the useful idiots in that process, because 196 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: then you're invested in the perpetuation of that system. Any adult, 197 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: any teacher, anyone who shows up at one of these 198 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 3: meetings in defense of this stuff is going to be 199 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 3: very hard, and especially if it's a parent who has 200 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 3: pushed for this for their children, very hard to get 201 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 3: them to see the light and understand how bad this 202 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 3: is down the line. So they want to push it 203 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: as fast as they can, as aggressively as they can, because. 204 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: It's building the roster, if you will. 205 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 3: It's like forcing recruits onto their side, which is obviously 206 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: at the heart of what they're doing with these kids 207 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 3: as well. But it is essentially a secular I mean, 208 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: a secular religion of sorts is what they are pushing. 209 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: I mean, here's another experiment. You could go on Clay. 210 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 3: What if you said, okay, fun, we're you know, I'm 211 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 3: okay with my school district greeting this stuff. But also 212 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 3: we're gonna have some conservative children's books in there that 213 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 3: say that boys are boys and girls are girls, and 214 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: people that have, you know, problems in their head should 215 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 3: go see adults and speak to them about it and 216 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 3: not expect everybody to cater to them. Would that be okay? 217 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 3: I don't think so. 218 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 4: No. 219 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: And look, there are so many amazing kids books that 220 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: you can chew. It's not as if there aren't six 221 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: hundred one thousand Newberry I think is the award winning 222 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: children's books. It's actually I would imagine for a lot 223 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 1: of you who have been elementary school kids, tough, I 224 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: mean teacher tough to pick. 225 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: What if I ask you right now, what what are 226 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: books that you just have a you have fond memory 227 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 3: of from you. I'm talking your childhood too. I'm talking 228 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: third I remember, I remember all the way back to 229 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: the very Hungry Caterpillar. Some of you probably remember that 230 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: one classic James and the Giant Peach, where the wild 231 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 3: things are, the wind in the willows, the hobbit. I mean, 232 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 3: you go back, you think about that, Clay like, I mean, 233 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 3: you could do the same thing, right. You go back, 234 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 3: you think, oh, well, you're talking about being what an 235 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 3: eight year old? So we're going back almost almost uh 236 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 3: what forty you know, thirty forty years and you remember 237 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: those books. That's the kind of influence they had on 238 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 3: your thinking at that time in those formative years. The 239 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 3: Communists know this. This is their little this is their 240 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: little red book of gender madness that they're making teachers 241 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: and kids hold up and pledge allegiance to in these schools. 242 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 3: And that's why Catanji Brown Jackson, she'll make any argument 243 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: to keep this stuff, any argument. 244 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: I want to say one positive thing. I mentioned this yesterday, 245 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure how many of you are familiar 246 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: with it. One of the greatest things that I've ever 247 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: seen a celebrity do. Dolly Parton has something called the 248 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: Dolly Parton Imagination Library. I'm not sure if it's only 249 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 1: available to kids in Tennessee right now, but they will 250 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: send your kids free books, you know, little engine that could. 251 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: We were signed up for this for our kids and 252 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: they were so excited to do it. Dolly Parton did 253 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: it Buck because she grew up in rural East Tennessee 254 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: and didn't have access to kids' books. I mean, they're fabulous. 255 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: She's given Buck two hundred and seventy seven million books 256 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: to kids to be able to experience reading that otherwise 257 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: might not that their parents could read for them. 258 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 3: As we remember, this is why Dolly Parton is the 259 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 3: Queen Elizabeth of the Smoky Mountains. She is amazing buck 260 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 3: and I want to say something positive associated with this, 261 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: So I think it's available all over the United States 262 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 3: imaginationlibrary dot com. If you're a kid, if you've got grandkids, 263 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 3: if you've got kids, or if you want to donate. 264 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: I don't know anybody yet Imagination Library. I'm just telling 265 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 3: you that they have done amazing work. And on the 266 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: positive side, there are people trying to get uplifting normal 267 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 3: books in the hands of kids to help them have 268 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 3: hopefully a lifelong love of reading, which both you and 269 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: I would agree is probably the best gift that a 270 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 3: parent can give a child because it works across the board. 271 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 3: Look in times of adversity, really, when you find out 272 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 3: who your friends are, people in Israel know they can 273 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: count on most Americans. Your ongoing support for the International 274 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 3: Fellowship of Christians and Jews prove positive of that. Anything 275 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 3: but normal right now in Israel. I saw it with myself, 276 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 3: the amount of bomb shelters that are needed, the amount 277 00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 3: of first responders who need armored security vehicles, ambulances, it's unbelievable. 278 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: In the wake of October seventh, how much help they need, 279 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 3: and how many of you out there Christians and Jews 280 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 3: have come together to take a stand with Israel.

A lot of you 292 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 3: are veteran parents, right, I'm a rookie parent, but veteran 293 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 3: parents about the books that the kids are being read 294 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 3: read to from and I'm trying to get my prefaces 295 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: right here. And also just the offerings in their local 296 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 3: library or even in their school library, like we had 297 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 3: a school library where I went to school. 298 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: Really interesting. 299 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 3: We want to put up a list first of all, 300 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 3: send us your thoughts on all this, Like we had 301 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: a VIP, who just wrote in VIP Matthew Clay was 302 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 3: talking about the Dolly Parton books. We moved to Ohio 303 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: used her program. The books were great for our girls. 304 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: So you know that's an example Clay likes to shine 305 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 3: a light and not just curse the darkness on this issue. Yeah, 306 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 3: I appreciate, and we want to do more of that 307 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 3: as well. We're gonna have Larry Arne of Hillsdale speaking 308 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 3: of doing the right things in education and and and 309 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: being in this fight for truth, education and sanity. But 310 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 3: I think Clay, this this book issue is really the 311 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 3: more people look at this. My own mom who's a 312 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 3: granny now, so she takes care. She says, the stuff 313 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 3: that's in the local library for kids very curated to 314 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 3: turn them into little gender confused Marxists. 315 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: I think if you're not of a diabolical mindset, you 316 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: just have no idea what's going on. I mean, I 317 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't even have thought Buck that there would ever be 318 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: a situation where those kind of books could be read 319 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: in a public school to kindergarteners. You remember, they came 320 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: after Ron DeSantis in Florida for putting the so called 321 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: Don't Say Gay Bill which all it really did was say, hey, kindergarten, first, second, 322 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: third grade, we're not going to have any gender identity 323 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: discussions in the classroom. Parents. I bet ninety percent of parents, 324 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: maybe ninety five percent of parents would support that. But 325 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: these ideologues who are looking at our weak points are 326 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: taking advantage of this because a lot of parents, I 327 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: think are too innately good and grandparents to think that 328 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: something like this could happen. I think it's stunning at 329 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,479 Speaker 1: how diabolical they are to be reading these books.

Have you seen this? She's 364 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: been addressing it on her podcast that no one is 365 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: evidently listening to, and she made herself out to be 366 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: the victim for being unwilling to go to Jimmy Carter's 367 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: funeral and listen to this gobbly book from Michelle Obama, 368 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: who I would argue is probably the most overrated person 369 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: in all of America. This is interesting. Yesterday I argue 370 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: that Asha the most overrated person in the world by 371 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: Clay Travis Get Yes, she is the anti Patrick Swayzee. 372 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: Patrick Swayzee the most underrated nineteen eighties actor for those 373 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: of you who were listening yesterday in the third hour 374 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: of the program, Michelle Obama the most overrated person in 375 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: the world. I find her to be very unlikable, and 376 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: since she has left office, I find her to be 377 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: frankly insufferable. Even have you ever read her Princeton thesis? Oh? 378 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: You would? I have? I have? 379 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 3: It's that bad? Would yeah? Because remember thesis? You could 380 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: go find my thesis. I'm not saying it was very good, 381 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: but you know it was on like basically the Communists 382 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: have taken over and using speech codes. 383 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: I told people mine it was the burning of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. 384 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: Remember the Civil War? Nerd for my History Honors thesis yet, 385 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: But so what was turning? I want the video of you. 386 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: First of all, we know that out in the battlefield 387 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 3: doing the reenactments, you're playing the fife because it's the 388 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 3: closest thing to a flute. 389 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: They had fifs in World War Two. Now I could 390 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: play the fife in the Revolutionary War, we're having all 391 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: the job. They didn't do fife in the Civil War. 392 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: I think they had moved on. I think the technology 393 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: was such that they had moved on from the fight 394 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: on the sixties. Oh man, I don't think people still 395 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: play the fife now. I don't think it's we have 396 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: some Civil War reenactors. What would wind instrument? Were they 397 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: playing out in the field in the Civil War or real? 398 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: I think they had real uhlual flutes by then. 399 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 3: Well, the food has keys and stuff. I don't think 400 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 3: you would take that out. That's gonna be tough to clean. 401 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 3: I think they had them. I think they had the 402 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 3: flute in the in the Civil War. 403 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: By the way, what about the is it insanely brave 404 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: or insanely dumb? Sometimes they overlap. Can you imagine being 405 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: the guy who was in the military that didn't have 406 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: done and just play tell you while people were shooting 407 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: and shooting. 408 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 3: I thought I thought about this before, like to be 409 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 3: the like the drummer boy and the revel lotion or something, 410 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 3: And I'm like, I I want a musket. 411 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: I want like a backup musket. 412 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: I would not be you know, holding the colors, holding 413 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 3: your regimental colors is also you know the flag. 414 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: Bearers, Like I think the flag guy because the flag 415 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: guys they needed to know where I know, if you're 416 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: the flag guy, you're like walking around with a big 417 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: target up in these Oh yeah, well well I'm not 418 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: saying I would do it, but I'm saying at least 419 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: the flag guy had to be super brave. Like I 420 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: can see the use. Why did they have the flute guy? 421 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: Like why not just get the flute guy a gun 422 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: and play less of instruments? Play you know the answer 423 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: to this, because when it comes to a battle, what 424 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: gets you as fired up as some groovy flute tunes? 425 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: Nothing I I think the flute. I think the flute 426 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: was in high power by the time we're talking like 427 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: Battle of Gettysburg. I think it's probably the peak of 428 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: flute playing anywhere. Like the flute guy in the flute 429 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: guy back in the day in the camp was the 430 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: star of the military camp in eighteen six. What else 431 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Well? Gambling, A lot of gambling, 432 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: I bet with cards, probably drinking cards. I've heard rumors 433 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: about moonshine being probably probably a little bit of alcohol consumption. 434 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: But in terms of sheer entertainment, the preacher and the 435 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: flute guy, and the flute guy was way less judgmental 436 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: and made you think about dying less. So I bet 437 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 1: he was the most popular. So I can turn us 438 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: back from this digression. That is my fault. 439 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 3: Some of our Civil War super nerds, you and Clay, 440 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 3: the secret society of Civil War super Nerds that you 441 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 3: guys all belonged to, let us know what the instrument 442 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 3: situation was in that era, because we all think of 443 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 3: the breaches and the fife and the drums for the Revolution, 444 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: But were they just not playing music out in the 445 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 3: battlefield the same and maybe they just the rifles were 446 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 3: accurate and far enough at that point that you really 447 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 3: didn't have as much of the music out there. 448 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I'm trying to think 449 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: back now. According to producer Alley, who's using chat GPT 450 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: for what it's were, flutes played an important role in 451 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: communication and boosting morale during the Civil War. They were 452 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: used to signal daily routines like waking up, marching, or 453 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: going to bed, and also, as I just said, provided entertainment. 454 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: It's probably the peak of the flute influence in American 455 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: culture was right then and there. And I mean, so 456 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: the flute player on that battlefield was a badass who 457 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: was responsible for morale of everybody else. So the flute 458 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: player was kind of like the Rambo of his era. 459 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. I hope the flute guy didn't have 460 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: to be involved in the full charge. I hope they 461 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: were like, hey, flute guy, you could stop, you know, 462 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: six hundred yards from the from the ramparts, because can 463 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: you imagine the flute guy just walking into cannons, Like, 464 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: I mean. 465 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 3: Things got really rough in the in the you know, 466 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 3: I just finished my Grant Chernow biography, right, and so 467 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 3: I've kind of gone through the grant campaigns, and obviously 468 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 3: when it would get hand to hand, somebody at some 469 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 3: point probably got beaten senseless by a flute. 470 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: That actually happened. They had a tough way to go, 471 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, by the way, if you had to pick 472 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: somebody to fight hand to hand, and I think I'd 473 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: picked the guy with the flute. I don't know. You 474 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: watch the if I'm there in the If I'm there 475 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: in the ramparts and the drover with a saber, I 476 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: got over at I'm going after flute guy. 477 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, the drummers got like pretty strong forearms.

And 500 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: then Ashley was with Melanie and then she ended up 501 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: with a guy, and the guy she married spoiler alert 502 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: it's been one hundred years. But spoiler alert, he dies 503 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: in camp. He doesn't even make it. It's like the 504 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: getting killed by the flute guy. You can't die before 505 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: the battle even happens. I gotta take your word on 506 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: all that because I haven't seen the movie. I'm going 507 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: to reverse this now because we started this conversation somehow 508 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 1: we got to who is the member of the military 509 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: band that you want to fight during you know, different 510 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: eras the flute guy fluke guy. Clearly but Michelle Obama 511 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: unlikable thesis was basically a person a. 512 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 3: Big whine about how poorly she was treated at Princeton 513 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 3: is sort of the idea. 514 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and this one, she's whining because people were upset 515 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: because she didn't do the right thing and go to 516 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter's funeral. I think, if you're a first lady 517 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: or you're a former president, the least you can do, 518 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: the absolute least you can do, is just show up 519 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: and sit at the funeral to show respect for America. 520 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: Michelle Obama would not do it, and she says she's 521 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: the victim because people were too tough on her for 522 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: that choice. 523 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 4: Listen, my decision to skip the inauguration, you know what 524 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 4: people don't realize, or my decision to make choices at 525 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 4: the beginning of this year that suited me were met 526 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 4: with such ridicule and criticism, like people couldn't believe that 527 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 4: I was saying no for any other reason that they 528 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 4: had to assume that my marriage was falling, right. You know, 529 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: It's like, while I'm here really trying to own my 530 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 4: life and intentionally practice making the choice that was right 531 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 4: for me, and it took everything in my power to 532 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 4: not do the thing that was right or that was 533 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 4: was that that was perceived as right, but do the 534 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 4: thing that was right for me. That was a hard 535 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 4: thing for me to do. I had to basically trick 536 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 4: myself out of it. And it started with not having 537 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 4: anything to wear. I mean, I had affirmatively, because I'm 538 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 4: always prepared for in a funeral anything I have. I 539 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 4: walk around with the right dress. I travel with clothes 540 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 4: just in case something pops off. So I was like, 541 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 4: if I'm not going to do this thing, I gotta 542 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 4: tell my team I don't even want to have. 543 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: A dress ready. 544 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. Right, Because it's so easy to just say, let 545 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 4: me do the right thing. 546 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: I mean, does she think she's the good guy here? 547 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: Being an adult? I watched this last night back and 548 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: I sent it into producer Greg. Being an adult means 549 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: that you often do the right thing even when you 550 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: don't want to do it. That is the sign I 551 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: would argue more than almost anything else, of maturity and 552 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: becoming an adult not doing the thing that you might 553 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: prefer to do, because it is better for you to 554 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: make the choice that is better. And she said it 555 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: took everything in my power not to do the right thing. 556 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: Maybe that's a sign that you should do the right 557 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: thing if it takes everything in your power to convince 558 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: you to do the thing that is not right. Maybe 559 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: this is like the whole concept of I'm gonna live 560 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: my truth. Well, there is no your truth. There's the truth, 561 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: and you either live by it or you don't. You 562 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: don't get to define truth. You can make your own opinions. 563 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: But this whole universe of it took everything in my 564 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: power to not do what was right. Is an actual 565 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: quote she said. 566 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 3: Well, I just think we should remind media matters that 567 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 3: Clay's quote of the day so far as Michelle Obama 568 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 3: most overrated person in the world. 569 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: Most overrated person in the world.

Make sure you get that headline right. 574 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: Clay Travis says Patrick Swayze underrated, Michelle Obama overrated, and 575 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: somehow that's gonna be racist. Of course, Clay Travis thinks 576 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,959 Speaker 1: the white man is underrated and the black woman is overrated. 577 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: This is what happens marga world. It's just she's kind 578 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: of Can I say it? I think I can say it. 579 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: It's kind of a kind of a bitch and not 580 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: a very likable one.
