1 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 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcoming and welcome back in our number 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: two Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate KFYI hosting me 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: for the last several days. I'm out in Phoenix. Super 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Bowl yesterday we reacted to it, had some big discussions 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: about the larger culture there. We now are headed up 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: to Michigan where Tutor Dixon, Republican candidate for governor is. 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: She is doing a podcast soon that will be a 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: part I believe of the Clay and Buck network as 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: a part of iHeart and she ran against Scretch and 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: Whitmer in November. Tutor, appreciate you you're joining us. We 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: wanted to talk to start about what got shot down 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: in Michigan. Do we have any idea and why don't 14 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: we have a full fuller picture of what exactly is 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: going on as one of these unidentified objects was shot 16 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: down I believe near the up in Michigan. Yeah, wouldn't 17 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: it be great to have our information? Thank you for 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: having me. By the way, We're I'm excited to be on. 19 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: We're in Michigan, certainly wondering exactly what this was, but 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: the whole country is. I mean, this is the fourth 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: thing that we're talking about being shot down. These are 22 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: being called objects. The first, of course, was the supposed 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: surveillance by balloon, but we don't even have enough information 24 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: on that. And think about how bizarre this is when 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: you already have Justin Trudeau who has come out and 26 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: addressed his nation, Joe Biden is ducking reporters, still running 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: into SUVs, and Gretcha Whitmer is playing footsie with China 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: and everybody in the United States and saying, wait a minute, 29 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: wait a minute, is this China? Is China surveilling the 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: country on a regular basis? Is this more than a 31 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: surveillance device? We don't have that information, and that's why 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: people are so beside themselves over this. But think about this. 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: At the same time, you have Chinese corporations that Gretchen 34 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: Whitmer say, welcome to Michigan. Yes, we are the center 35 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: point of North America between Canada and the United States. 36 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: Please come have our land, take it, build your businesses. 37 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: Would we would love that. It's so bad for Gretchen Whitmer, 38 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: by the way, that Jake Tapper at CNN is even 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: doing journalism. I want to play you a cut of 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer being asked, particularly in light of the fact 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: that who knows where this object that was shot down 42 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: is from and whether it might just be Joe Biden 43 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: overreacting now his administration because they blew it the first 44 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: time we had the Chinese spy balloon come across the country, 45 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: and now they're shooting down things left and right, whether 46 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: they're associated with China or not. But I did think 47 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: this was a good question from Jake Tapper on CNN 48 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: of Gretchen Whitmer about her embrace of TikTok given what's 49 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: going on in the country right now. Listen to use 50 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: TikTok on one device that has nothing else on it. 51 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: It is a communication tool. We don't do it because 52 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: it's fun, Although some people think what I put out 53 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: there can be fun on occasion. My kids disagree. I 54 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: don't buy that. You don't have fun doing TikTok. But 55 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: the point is we have it on one device that 56 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: has no access to anything else because so many people 57 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: get their information that way, whether we like it or not. 58 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: That is a tool for disseminating important information, and that's 59 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: how we use it, but we're always evaluating because we 60 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: want to make sure that we are protecting data in Michigan, 61 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: and that's why we're always evaluating. But at this point, 62 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: the way we use it is is secure. We might 63 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: have shot down something from China over Michigan, and Gretchen 64 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: Whitmer is fine with using a Chinese based app to 65 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: communicate with Michiganders. And beyond, what do you think about that, tutor? 66 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: This is how little she cares about national security. Chuck 67 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: Schumer is out there saying there should be a federal 68 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: ban on TikTok on all government devices. Now you expect 69 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: me to believe that Gretchen Whitmer has some secret TikTok 70 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: burner phone And she's like, look, the dogs are doing 71 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: something that Michigan has to see. Grab the burner phone. 72 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: We've got to give me a break. It is really 73 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: funny to argue the like they have a special burner 74 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: phone that only has TikTok downloaded on it. I mean, 75 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: who is paying for this phone? Is this? Like? How 76 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: many burner phones dis Gretchen Whitmer need If she's using 77 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: different phones for different apps? This is crazy. I mean 78 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: that makes no sense. It's a great point. I feel 79 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: a TikTok coming on. You got to get the burner phone. 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and the things that she says are so 81 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: incredibly important are like her leather jacket fashion show she 82 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: did that, she dances with her daughters, and I'm meant 83 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: to believe that there's constantly a staffer around her. It's like, 84 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: we've got, well, let me make sure this is secure. 85 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: Let me make sure that this is nothing that the 86 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: Chinese need, because obviously this important information that is so 87 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: critical that she has to communicate on TikTok is important 88 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: enough for people in Michigan, but it doesn't matter to 89 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: the Chinese. It's not that important. I mean, come on, 90 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: this is a vanity issue here. This is somebody who 91 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: wants to be out there constantly in the public eye, 92 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: acute in the door. This is not what a governor does, 93 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: and it's certainly not someone who's taking national security seriously does. 94 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: But look, she's not taking national security seriously. We've got 95 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: an announcement today that while if you look at the media, 96 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: it will say Ford is bringing a new battery plant 97 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: to Michigan, let me remind you of a couple of 98 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: weeks ago when governor, and young Kin came out and said, listen, 99 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: Michigan can take our sloppy seconds, because I'm not interested 100 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: in having a Chinese corporation in Virginia. And Gretchen what 101 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: we said, we welcome a Chinese corporation. It's not Ford. 102 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: It's a partnership with a Chinese corporation that will buy 103 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: property in the state of Michigan and have a company. Now, 104 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: let me tell you something. China is not saying, yes 105 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: we are, we are going to welcome American companies to 106 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: buy property here. We don't own property in China, and 107 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: we shouldn't allow the Chinese to own property in Michigan. 108 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: But she has zero economic plan. She stated this from 109 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: the very beginning. The only economic plan she had the 110 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: entire campaign was she was going to offer people abortions. 111 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: And that was truly when she was asked her economic plan, 112 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: that was truly what she came out and said. Now 113 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: she's going to play footsie with's Chinese. Beyond footsie, she's 114 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: welcoming them into the state and she's using their funny 115 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 1: little social media apps that are sucking information out of 116 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: state government into China. It's absolutely horrendous and I would think. 117 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got your heartbeat on the pulse though, 118 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: the pulse on the heartbeat of Michigan right now. This 119 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: is crazy to me. When we did Friday show, Tutor 120 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: I said, we'll certainly know what we might have shot 121 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: down by the time we come on Monday show. Since then, 122 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: we've shot down more things over the weekend again, including 123 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: in Michigan. Isn't it kind of crazy that we don't 124 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: have any idea what's actually going on here? There's a 125 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: couple of things that are disturbing here. We ask, well, how, 126 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: all of a sudden are all of these things floating 127 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: above the United States? And the government says, oh, we 128 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: we tweaked at the radar a bit. What we tweaked 129 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: the radar a bit? Yeah, this could have been always happening. 130 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: What what what are these things? And to your point, 131 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: are they dangerous? Are they something from another country? You know, 132 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: we're everybody's saying, well, these are unidentified objects, and so 133 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: people are like UFOs. UFOs are obviously not always alien. 134 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: But you know, then there's the rumors that go around. 135 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: It's self repelled. There's no there's it's just a cylinder 136 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: floating above the earth. Yes, we should have some briefing 137 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: from the government about this, because the reality is people 138 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: are terrified. I mean, there really are people across the 139 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: country that are like, what is happening? Are we going 140 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: to get invaded? Are these things that could be holding bombs? 141 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: Could they hold bioweapons? We just went through a pandemic 142 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: and this administration came in and said, our number one 143 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: issue is going to be to keep people safe, get 144 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: people back to normal life. But they're not telling us 145 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: when we have something that appears to be a major 146 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: safety issue. Why. I mean, if you have jets scrambling 147 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: to shoot something down, you sure as heck better tell 148 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: the American people what's going on, no doubt. And that's 149 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: a great point about tweaking the radar as well, because that, 150 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: to me, he means maybe the radar wasn't working. Like 151 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: the whole purpose of the radar is for us to 152 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: know about potential threats that could be in our airspace. 153 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: And it's not crazy to think that when Joe Biden 154 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: allowed a Chinese fybline balloon to enter the United States 155 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: in Idaho, go all the way across the country and 156 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: then exit in South Carolina, that China or some other 157 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: foreign adversary might have thought, Oh, I wonder what we 158 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: can get away with now, and that is now precipitating 159 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: these issues. But the fact that we don't know coming 160 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: up on basically seventy two hours since the first object 161 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: was shot down off the coast of Alaska. It's kind 162 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: of crazy, right, this idea that suddenly they say, oh, 163 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: don't worry, we've tweeked it a bit and now we 164 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: can see a heck of a lot more. But now 165 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: we're shooting things down. What mean you tweet where we're 166 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: using radar from like the fifties and there. Yeah, oh, 167 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: actually things have gotten a little bit better. Maybe we 168 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: enhanced this a bit. So yeah, I think it's irresponsible. 169 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: But this goes along with a Biden administration. And then 170 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: you've got the Press secretary out there stumbling and fumbling 171 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: over her words because she clearly has not been briefed 172 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: effectively to tell anybody in the country what's going on, 173 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: which I think makes people more uneasy when they see 174 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,239 Speaker 1: a press secretary who is so unprepared to answer questions 175 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: and incapable falling over her own words. It's like having 176 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris up there giving us a press briefing. We're 177 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: gonna play that audio for people who haven't heard Karene 178 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre attempt to explain what's been going on. I'll 179 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: play you that for you. The next cut, last question 180 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: for you, tutor, and this is the real hot seat. Well, 181 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions win a Super Bowl in your or 182 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: mine's lifetime. Someone asked me who are you rooting for 183 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, and I was like, you know, 184 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: the Bears and the Lions have not been in the 185 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: super Bowl for a long time, so I'm out again 186 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: on this one. I'll let you know. That was a 187 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: big question during the campaign though. People said we'll vote 188 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: for you if you can make sure that the Lions 189 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, and I was like, okay, obviously, 190 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: I mean at this point, I just have to give 191 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: up the vote. My wife, obviously, as you know, is 192 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: from the Detroit area, so the amount of frustration from 193 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: Lions fans I didn't really understand until we got married. 194 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: And I bet you really understood it when you were 195 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: on the campaign trail hearing about the Lions all the time. 196 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: To be pot to be fair, they had a good 197 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: run at the end of their season, but they've only 198 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: won one playoff game. Again, sorry Lions fans since the 199 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: nineteen fifties. Tutor, we will talk to you again soon. 200 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. Thank you. That is Tutor Dixon. 201 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: When we come back, I will play Karine Jean Pierre. 202 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: You heard me in the Urst Hour say, hey, if 203 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: you wonder what a football team would look like if 204 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: it was completely diverse and inclusive, it would look like 205 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: Karen Jean Pierre as the White House Press secretary, except 206 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: she'd be the quarterback of the team right, completely incapable 207 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: of basic mechanics of the job. But my goodness, what 208 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: a great photo op. She just over and over again. 209 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: And the thing about Karine Jean Pierre is she messes 210 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: up questions that everybody knows are going to be asked. Again. 211 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: I always say, if you, I could walk out and 212 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: do a White House Press briefing right now, because in 213 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: order to prepare for this radio show, I have to know, 214 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: you know, the top ten or twelve stories that are 215 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: going on every single day. So if you suddenly said, hey, 216 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: Clay Travis, tap you on the shoulder. Joe Biden wants 217 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: somebody competent to go out, I could go out and 218 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: do a White House Press brief Now, it's the worst 219 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: administration ever, but I could do that job because you 220 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: know what the top ten or twelve questions are. Now, 221 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: if I walked out there and they said, hey, there's 222 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: a major controversy in El Salvador over whether or not 223 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: there should be a referendum on the leadership of El Salvador, 224 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm just tossing that out there. I have no idea 225 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: what's going on in El Salvador. I would be like, yeah, 226 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: I got no idea on that. I would just be 227 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: honest because sometimes you do get questions in the White 228 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: House Press briefing you have no idea or coming. But 229 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: when the government is shooting down objects, and when we're 230 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: working with Canada as a part of NORAD to shoot 231 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: down objects, that's going to be a question. Karin Jan 232 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: Pierre got that question. It did not go. Well, get 233 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: your popcorn. You're going to enjoy it. She is the 234 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: quarterback for the Biden administration and they ain't winning any games. 235 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that much. When we come back, we'll 236 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: also well, I'll just play that audio for you. I 237 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: think you're gonna absolutely love it. And that is coming 238 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: up here in a segment to come, but first I 239 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: want to tell you all about our friends at Norton Wyflock. 240 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: The Internet is one of the best ways to stay 241 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: connected with people all over the world, but you should 242 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: always be on guard. If one or more of those 243 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: new connections comes across a little bit faster, a little stronger, 244 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: you might expect they're cyber thieves everywhere. You probably have 245 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: seen the stories about all of your personal information getting 246 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: stolen so many different companies, it feels like every single 247 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: week and new companies getting your info stolen.

Appreciade all of you hanging out 259 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: with us for rolling through the Monday edition of the program. Reminder, 260 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: Buck is on his honeymoon with Carrie. If you're curious 261 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: how that is going, I see that Buck is posting 262 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: photos every now and then from the South Pacific. He 263 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: said he was not going to be on social media 264 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: very much because he did want a replay of what 265 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: happened in Asheville. When he started trending in the entire 266 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: state of North Carolina was upset, at least the left 267 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: wing in North Carolina because he had made fun of 268 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: how many people in Asheville were still wearing masks and 269 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: how many businesses required it as well. So Karine John 270 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: Pierre is currently speaking to the media will bring the 271 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: latest news to the extent that there is any. She 272 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: has said that it is not a UFO to their 273 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: knowledge that they have been shooting down meaning aliens. It is, 274 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: I guess in some way still unidentif fied. Although again 275 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: seventy two hours in and we're still not getting very 276 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: much information. Well, partly that's because the best of us 277 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: are not speaking for the country. Karine Jean Pierre was 278 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: asked about nora Ad, and predictably it did not go well. 279 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: Why is the American military is shooting something out of 280 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: the sky over Canada because it's part of a nourad? 281 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: There is the Nourad is part of like a part 282 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: of it's a it's a what you call a coalition, 283 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: a pact exactly. And so that's why we were able 284 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: to do that. Again, we didn't do it on our own. 285 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: We did it in in uh In clearly and in 286 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: step with Canadia. Clut she says a lot of things 287 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: that aren't even possible, right, Canadia, We did it in 288 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: step with Canadian. I mean that that's not even a misspeak, right. 289 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard anybody called Canada Canadia. 290 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: And she is unable to answer the most basic questions 291 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: about nora Ad. And again, these are the things that 292 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: you would most expect to be asked as the White 293 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: House Press secretary. I wish we could do a competition 294 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: between me and Karine Jean Pierre. I'd have no briefings 295 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: whatsoever from the Biden White House, just by reading news 296 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: coverage to know what is likely to be talked about. 297 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: I would walk out, trust me, without a binder. That 298 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: I had to flip through to try to answer questions, 299 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: and I bet I could answer questions even trying to 300 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: advocate on behalf of the Biden administration, because remember, the 301 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: job of a lawyer sometimes is to advocate for positions 302 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: that you otherwise wouldn't. The reason why I love the 303 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: job that I have now is because there are no clients. 304 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: There are lawyers listening to us right now, like I 305 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: love the practice of law, except for the clients, because 306 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: clients sometimes are awful to have to deal with. Sometimes 307 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: they don't have their best interest in mind, they make 308 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: poor choices. But I've defended lots of people. I've defended murderers. 309 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: I could certainly defend the Biden administration, and I could 310 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: do a better job than Korejian Pierre, because it's not 311 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: that heart of a job when you're in the communication 312 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: business to answer questions you would expect to be answered, 313 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: to be asked as a part of a daily press briefing. 314 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: It's just crazy. Again. I think she's a perfect representation 315 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration in general, and what happens when 316 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: you get out there and hire someone not based on 317 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 1: their actual talent, but based on what their identity is 318 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: because there's absolutely no way to defend her employment other 319 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: than saying she was a representative of the black gay 320 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: community and that's why she got this job. That's just 321 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: the truth of the matter. And so I think everybody 322 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: just has to kind of keep that in mind. And 323 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: it would be fun to go out sometime and show 324 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: her up, do a fabulous job and then say, you 325 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna retire. But I have just pointed 326 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: out that talent matters, and you have known, all right, 327 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: Travis family did something smart several months ago. We got 328 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: emergency food to store in our home from my Patriots 329 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: Supply with per day right now, you'll automatically get two 330 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: hundred dollars in free survival gear with each kit you order. 331 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: Products will save the day when crisis comes in the 332 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: way of natural disaster, service disruptions, whatever it might be. 333 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: Here's how you do it.

There was some discussion about 340 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. I think we talked about it on Friday 341 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: and other or not he should do a traditional Super 342 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: Bowl interview, which most presidents do, and because Fox had 343 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: this Super Bowl, Fox News offered up Brett Baer, they 344 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: offered up Shannon Bream, traditional journalists who host news based programming, 345 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: and said, hey, we'll let Joe Biden do an interview 346 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: with either of these people and or beyond the inside 347 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: of the Fox News universe. Biden administration said no, and 348 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: then they said they were potentially going to do an 349 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: interview with something called Fox Soul, which I didn't know 350 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: at all. The interview ended up not happening, So Joe 351 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Biden turned down the opportunity to talk to a huge 352 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: segment of the United States population, over one hundred million 353 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 1: people that could have been watching the Super Bowl, and 354 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: a decent percentage of those people would have been watching 355 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: the pregame when he was interviewed. But he said no, no, 356 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: I'm not willing to talk to those people, which I 357 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: thought was arrogant and I think it's emblematic of the 358 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: world that we live in right now where you're unwilling 359 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: to talk with people that you think don't support you. 360 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: And I'll explain why I think this is wrong, but 361 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: first I'll let CNN's Oliver Darcy explain that he should not. 362 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: Biden was right not to do this interview because Fox 363 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: spreads misinformation about him. Listen to cut fourteen. A lot 364 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: of people do tune into this game, So is a 365 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: big platform that he is effectively giving up by not 366 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: appearing on Fox. You know, the super Bowl this year, 367 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: people are expecting, maybe for over one hundred million viewers 368 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: to tune into the super Bowl, and so by not appearing, 369 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: he is giving up that platform. But I think his 370 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: administration and he has decided that he just does not 371 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: want to appear on this channel that is really profits 372 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: off of spreading misinformation lies about his administration. Oh shut up, CNN. 373 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: I mean the entire news basis of CNN during the 374 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 1: Trump administration was to spread misinformation as widely as possible. 375 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: And so this idea that Ojoe Biden can't talk to 376 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: Fox because they spread misinformation about him, Here's what I 377 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: would say. The president should talk to as many people 378 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: as possible to spread his message. Now, if the President 379 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: had said I'll only talk to you for eight minutes, 380 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: and I demand that all eight minutes of our interview 381 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,959 Speaker 1: be aired, I would understand that because if I were 382 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: President of United States right now, I would There are 383 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: lots of organizations out there. MSNBC probably wouldn't like me. 384 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: CNN certainly doesn't like me. They banned me for life 385 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 1: from appearing on the network because I said, and if 386 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: you haven't seen this clip, and you want to laugh, 387 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: because I said, the only two things that had never 388 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: let me down in the history of my life was 389 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: the First Amendment and boobs that was like five years 390 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: ago on CNN. I'm not kidding. If you want to 391 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: be entertained, just watch the world come undone. When I 392 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: said that on CNN, they banned me. I'm band on ESPN. 393 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: I think I'm the only person in America who is 394 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: not allowed to appear on either ESPN or CNN because 395 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,479 Speaker 1: of some of the things that I've said that upset 396 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: those networks. But I would go on those networks. I 397 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: don't run and hide, but as part of going on 398 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: those networks, I would say, look, here's the reality. I 399 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: don't want to sit for a two hour interview and 400 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: then you use three minutes of it. HBO Real Sports 401 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: asked me to be on before, and I said, I 402 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: think it's probably not going to be a very favorable piece. 403 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: I'll do the interview, but I want to record the 404 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 1: entire interview and be able to share it with my 405 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 1: audience too. And I've done this with The Washington Post. 406 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: I've done it with a variety of different media outlets. Hey, 407 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: if you want to do a long form interview with 408 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: me and write or do a video interview, I want 409 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: to be able to use it too, so that people 410 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: can see the context under which this conversation takes place. 411 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: And so the idea that he shouldn't do it is 412 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: I think totally wrong. And listen to Oliver Darcy one 413 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: more time. A lot of people do tune into this game. 414 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: So is a big platform that he is effectively giving 415 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: up by not appearing on Fox. You know the super 416 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: Bowl this year, people are expecting, maybe for over one 417 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: hundred million viewers to tune into the Super Bowl, and 418 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: so by not appearing, he is giving up that platform. 419 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: But I think his administration and he has a side 420 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: of that, he just does not want to appear on 421 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: this channel that is really profits off of spreading misinformation 422 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: lies about his administration. Why wouldn't you want to appear 423 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: in front of a hundred million people. We just had 424 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: a State of the Union that was watched by roughly 425 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: twenty five million, and so if you actually analyze it, 426 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: you have to speak to everyone. And if you're worried 427 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: about how they might handle that interview, I totally understand it. 428 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: I would be concerned about how MSNBC or CNN or 429 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: ESPN would handle HBO. I just told you would handle 430 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: interviews with me. But the reality is you have to 431 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: speak to that audience. And if you listen to Friday show, 432 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: you'll know that we were specifically discussing this as it 433 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: pertains to a front page story on Friday in the 434 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: New York Times Business section where they went after this 435 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: show and accused us of spreading misinformation. And so I 436 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: had our producer Ali reach out and say, Okay, Brookings Institute, 437 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: you are saying that Clay and Buck spreads more information 438 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: as a show in conjunction with Russian Limball. We don't 439 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: even know the entire parameters of the story that they did, 440 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: but you are saying that they spread more information than anyone. 441 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: That's the argument that you're out there making. And so 442 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: as a part of this, why don't you come on 443 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: their radio show. You can talk to the biggest radio 444 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: show in the country and you make your argument about 445 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: what you think they are doing that is wrong, and 446 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: you can talk to this group, this audience, these millions 447 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 1: of people out there all over the country who are 448 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: listening to us right now, and you explain what they've 449 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: done wrong. And I believe Ali I have got their 450 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: response right here because I think it ties in. But 451 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: my point on it is I'm not trying to get 452 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: in a position where we're running from them. In fact, 453 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: let me read Ali's fantastic email to the Brookings Institute. 454 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: I just want you to know we put on Friday, 455 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: we reached out to the Brookings Institute and said hello, 456 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: it came to the Alley. This is very well written 457 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: email by Alley. By the way, Hello, it came to 458 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: our attention via New York Times piece yesterday that the 459 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: Brookings Institute ranked our show third and misinformation. In an 460 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: effort to understand how we receive this ranking, we'd like 461 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: to invite the researchers of this study, particularly the lead 462 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: researcher Valorie work shafter on our show to explain the 463 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: process by which they collected this data and arrived at 464 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: the conclusion. We have availability Monday through Friday, any day 465 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: this week. It would be about a ten minute phone interview, 466 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: and if you're unable to join us live, we'd appreciate 467 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: a written response either way. And we're just basically asking 468 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: for an opportunity to understand why they are spreading this 469 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: story about us. It seems to me that it is 470 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: eminently fair to allow require, frankly, but allow them on 471 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: our end, the opportunity to come on and make their 472 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: case about why we're spreading so much misinformation. So I'm 473 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: giving to Joe Biden the same advice that I am 474 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: willing to follow myself, which I think is frankly pretty 475 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: significant here. We're willing to talk with people who disagree, 476 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: even people who spread misinformation about us. They got the email, 477 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: waited seventy two hours, and said they'll be back in 478 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: touch as soon as possible. They have passed it along 479 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: to the research team for their consideration. I bet they're 480 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: going to run and hide, because it's easy to spread 481 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: stories yourself. When we give them an opportunity to come 482 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: on and talk to the largest radio show in the nation, 483 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: the one that they are accusing of spreading misinformation, to 484 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: talk directly to all of you. Guess what, they turn, 485 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: tell and run. They aren't willing to do it at all. 486 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: So I think this is significant, and we'll let you 487 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: know whether or not we continue to hear anything at 488 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: all from them about their willingness to show up and 489 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: actually make the case to you that they were willing 490 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: to make on Friday on the front page of the 491 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,199 Speaker 1: New York Times Business section. So we'll let you know 492 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: where that stands. But I wanted to give you an update. 493 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: In conjunction with Joe Biden refusing to talk to people 494 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: who might be critical of him, we actually did the 495 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,479 Speaker 1: exact opposite. We allowed them the form to come on 496 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: this show and explain what misinformation we are peddling based 497 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: on their study that they were perfectly willing to put 498 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: out in the New York Times. In the meantime, Born 499 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: from the tragedy of nine to eleven the Tunnel, The 500 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: Towers Foundation has been honoring America's heroes ever since.

You are representing 543 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: ninety percent of America and people are afraid to talk 544 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: to one another to bring up the subjects that is 545 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: bothering everybody, and we really appreciate it. You're representing all 546 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 1: of us. I appreciate you calling in saying that. Look, 547 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: I really do believe that everybody hates woke people. I 548 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: mean I really do, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, and if 549 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: you look at the data, that's true because what they 550 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: represent is, as I said in the first hour, the 551 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: antithesis of everything that America represents. You know. I was 552 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: out at an event over the weekend and one of 553 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: my friends at Fox Sports. We were watching the Counting 554 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: Crows perform, and then at the end of the concert, 555 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: we were hopping in cars to come back to the 556 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: hotel and he said, Hey, I want to introduce you. 557 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: This guy's from California. He disagrees with everything that you 558 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: believe politically. I was like, that's an elevant introduction, but 559 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: I was like, hey, you know what, And then we 560 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: hopped in the car together to drive back to the hotel, 561 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 1: and I was like, as we were walking out. I 562 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: was like, I bet if we just had a beer 563 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: that we get along fine, right, And I think we've 564 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: kind of missed that era where I look, I take 565 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: my beliefs seriously, but it doesn't mean that I can't 566 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: get along with someone else who has different beliefs. And 567 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: this is not going to surprise you either. I think 568 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 1: my beliefs are correct, and I think that I'm so 569 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: good at advocating for them that I think I can 570 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: convince a lot of people who might think I don't 571 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: like that guy, that after they had a beer with me, 572 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: they'd be like, you know what, I kind of agree 573 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: with him. That's been my experience is a lot of 574 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: people just embrace this woke BS because they don't really 575 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: want to interact with it, but also because they're afraid. 576 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: And I get it. If you're out there right now 577 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: and you work in a big company, and you've got 578 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: kids that you want to get in college, and you're 579 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: fifty seven years old, do you really want to go 580 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: to war with the diversity and inclusion person inside of 581 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: your business over what your pronouns are in your email address? 582 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: Probably not, because you're afraid you'll lose that battle and 583 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: get fired. I bet every single one of you listening 584 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: to me right now, I bet if you're on social media, 585 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: you have drafted something on Facebook, you have drafted something 586 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: on Twitter. You might have draft did something on Instagram 587 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: and you deleted it because you were afraid of what 588 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: people might say if you posted it. That's why I 589 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: don't take for granted at all that I get to 590 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: say every single day exactly what I think. My wife, 591 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: she'll tell you, Hey, Clay, the reason you've never needed 592 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: therapy is because you get three hours every day on 593 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: radio to say exactly what you think. Most people don't 594 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: have that luxury. I walk out of this studio in 595 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: a little over an hour with zero weight on my 596 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: shoulders because I got to tell you exactly what I think. 597 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: And a lot of you out there listening right now. 598 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: I think it helps because you're just like that somebody 599 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: finally said what I believe. That's the number one thing 600 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: the buck and Eye get told. When we're out walking around, 601 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: people come up, thank you for doing the show, thank 602 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: you for saying what I don't think that I can 603 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,240 Speaker 1: say and keep my job.

I've mentioned there are hundreds of thousands of 612 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,359 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl party.

The best part about 619 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 1: it is you don't have to be with them all 620 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: the time. You get to spoil them, and then you 621 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: can go away and they love grandparents because they don't 622 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:58,919 Speaker 1: have to spend as much time disciplining.
