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 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Friday edition. Hoping to start

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: your weekend off on a strong note. I am Clay Travis.

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Is the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. You may

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: have heard yesterday Buck was struggling with it. He has

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: no voice today, so I am here solo. He may

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: sound a little bit like Joe Biden. Buck yesterday did dark.

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: Biden came out and spoke to everyone. He's got a cold.

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: The economy has more than a cold. It still can't

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: recover job's numbers miss by a monstrous margin. Expectations among

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: economists were for five hundred and seventy three thousand new

12
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: jobs to have been created in the past month. Instead,

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: we ended up with two hundred and ten thousand new jobs.

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: The anemic recovery of Joe Biden continues. Nearly four million

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: people who were working before COVID have still not returned

16
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: to the job market. And really, while Biden is trying

17
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: to take credit for the declining unemployment rate, what we

18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: have created is two different economies. Red State America which

19
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: is thriving. I'm going to give you the data on

20
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: that in short order, and Blue State America, which continues

21
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: to flail. It is not getting people back to work

22
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: because of the failed economic policies of the Democratic Party.

23
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: The numbers are stark. I will share them with you shortly,

24
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: but first let's hear from President Darth Biden. You can

25
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: hear it at his voice. He is sick and he's

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: trying to defend the fact that America's back to work.

27
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: As he says, here's cut one Joe Biden, just a

28
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,639
Speaker 1: little bit ago, trying to defend the incredibly anemic job numbers.

29
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: This year, we can reflect on an extraordinary bit of progress.

30
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Our economy is markedly stronger than it was a year ago,

31
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: and today the incredible news that our unemployment rate has

32
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: fallen to four point two percent. At this point in

33
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: the year, we're looking at the sharpest one year decline

34
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: and unemployment ever. Simply put, America, America is back to

35
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: work and our jobs recovery is going very strong. All right.

36
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: This is obviously a lot of flim flam and fluff

37
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: from Joe Biden, because the reason why people are going

38
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: back to work is because we had an artificial unemployment

39
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: rate in the first place. We told them you cannot work,

40
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: and we forced people to go home with the worst

41
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: decision I believe in modern American policy. Maybe ever, certainly

42
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: in my life, but at least since Vietnam, when we

43
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: shut down schools, when we made so many of the

44
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: moms that are out there listening to us right now,

45
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: and dad's responsible for kids who couldn't go to school

46
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: because they should have all been in school. We should

47
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: have never really shut down schools in retrospect, but if

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: we had, we should have only shut them down for

49
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: about two weeks. All of this is readily apparent to

50
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: anybody who looks at the data, and the data is

51
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: also clear on the difference between Red state America and

52
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Blue state America when it tends to come to people

53
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: going back to work. But you heard how bad Darth

54
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: Biden sounded there. He was asked about whether or not

55
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: he was sick, and this is what he said. We

56
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: can play cut to president. Your voice sounds a little different,

57
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: are you okay? I'm okay. I have a test every

58
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: day to see the COVID test. I have a check

59
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: ins all the strange. What I have is a one

60
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: and a half year old grandson who had a cold,

61
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: who likes to kiss his pop and he'd been kissing anyway,

62
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: but it's just a coal. I don't know where he'd

63
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: been kissing, Like Biden finally decided, I didn't want to

64
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: answer that question. But larger context, Biden has got a cold.

65
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: He blames it on his one and a half year

66
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: old grandson, all right, So that is why he sounds

67
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: so bad. What is going on though, in terms of

68
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: these economic numbers. Reading from the Wall Street Journal, they

69
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: have a great editorial today America's two Track Jobs Recovery,

70
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: where they talk about the difference. And we've discussed this

71
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: quite a bit on the show, and I know many

72
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: of you feel it that essentially what's happened with COVID

73
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: is red state America has gotten redder, and blue state

74
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: America has gotten bluer. And that means that all of

75
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: the people out there that are curled up in the

76
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: fetal position, terrified to leave their apartments double and triple masking,

77
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: afraid that they will not be able to protect themselves

78
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: from COVID. The Democrats played up on all those fears,

79
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: all those neuroses, all those totally anxiety written people across

80
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: the country who don't know how to understand and rationalize

81
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: basic risk. And they did that because they needed to

82
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: rag Joe Biden across the finish line. Remember, Joe Biden

83
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: said that he was going to cure the country basically

84
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: of COVID, that he was going to end COVID. Now

85
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: more people have died under Joe Biden's administration in twenty

86
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: twenty one than died under Donald Trump's administration in twenty

87
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: twenty That's significant because, of course, Joe Biden said, any

88
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: president who's response for two hundred thousand deaths shouldn't be

89
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: president anymore. Well, now, Joe Biden, by his own logic,

90
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: is responsible for over three hundred thousand deaths. But these

91
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: numbers are stark. Nine states have unemployment rates above six

92
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: percent right now. It just told you that the number

93
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: has dropped to four point two percent nationwide. California has

94
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: a seven point three percent unemployment rate that is tied

95
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: for the highest in the nation with Nevada seven point

96
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: three percent, New Jersey seven percent, New York six point

97
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: nine percent, New Mexico six point five percent, Connecticut six

98
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: six point six point four percent, Hawaii six point three,

99
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: and Michigan six point one and also Alaska six point one.

100
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: Do you know what all nine of those states have

101
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: in common? Almost eight of the nine. They all have

102
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: Republican governors. Eight of the nine. Eight of the nine

103
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: states that have the highest rate of unemployment in the

104
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: country have Republican governors. They have not allowed their people

105
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: to go back to work. Alaska is the only state

106
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: there that has a Republican governor and also has a

107
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: high rate of unemployment. The others all have democratic governors. Okay,

108
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: now think about the opposite. There are states right now

109
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: that have some of the lowest unemployment rates on record

110
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy six. West Virginia four point three percent,

111
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: Georgia three point one percent, Oklahoma two point seven percent,

112
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: Utah two point two percent, Nebraska one point nine percent

113
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: unemployment rate, a lot of other states Alabama three point one,

114
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: Montana three point one, Indiana three point three. Almost all

115
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: of those states are Republican states with Republican governors that

116
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: voted for Donald Trump in twenty twenty. Why is all

117
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: of this wildly significant? Because Joe Biden is taking credit

118
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: for an economic recovery that is actually being stifled by

119
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: his own policies. The states that are recovering and getting

120
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: back to normal are the Red states. The states that

121
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: are drags on our national economy are blue states. One

122
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: of my big theses for a while has been the

123
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: impact that COVID is going to create, and some people

124
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: are even convinced and take it to the next step

125
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: and say, hey, this is why one day we might

126
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: end up with another civil war. I don't believe in that,

127
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: but what's happening is the state policies are being driven

128
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: by COVID, and I see it in my own home

129
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: state of Tennessee, which is basically a wide open free state,

130
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: like Florida, Texas, Georgia, all the Red states, especially in

131
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: the South. People are flooding into the state from California,

132
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: from New York, from Illinois, the Chicago area in particular.

133
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: And they're not flooding into the state and bringing their

134
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: politics with them. They're flooding into the state because of

135
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: the politics that already exist here. The economic policies, the

136
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: school policies that are being put in place in the

137
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Red States are bringing massive amounts of talent into Red states,

138
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: and combine that with the number of people out there

139
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: who can now work remotely. The housing market is so

140
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: white hot people are cashing out of their homes on

141
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: the East and the West coast, and they're moving to

142
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: places like Texas, Tennessee, Florida and Moore. And by the way, Texas,

143
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Florida. Not to give a sales pitch, but

144
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: we also don't have state income taxes in those states.

145
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: Elon must just relocated Tesla down to Texas. Think about

146
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: what's sixteen percent for state and local income tax means

147
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: for somebody who's fairly wealthy in California in terms of

148
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: relocating to a state like Texas, Tennessee or Florida where

149
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: there is no state income tax. Same thing happening in

150
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: New York. Look at how many of these big hedge

151
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: fund guys who suddenly have realized we have all the

152
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: tech that we need. All I have to do is

153
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: make sure I have a good functional Internet, and I

154
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: can run by private equity fund, my hedge fund from

155
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: Florida just as easily as I could from New York

156
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: or Connecticut or New Jersey. In fact, that's why the

157
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: new mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, has said

158
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: one of the first things he's gonna do is fly

159
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: down to Florida and try to persuade all the hundred

160
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: millionaires and billionaires who were rolling out of the state

161
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: of New York in favor of Florida to come back.

162
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: And guess what, I think he's gonna find out. They

163
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: ain't coming back. They like the weather in Florida. They

164
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: like the fact that they pay a lot less tax.

165
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: They like the fact that their governor isn't insane. They

166
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: like the fact that their kids can go to school

167
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: and not wear masks. I don't believe or headed towards

168
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: a civil war. I think that's hyperbole. But I do

169
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: believe we are headed towards a major national resorting where

170
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: red becomes redder and blue becomes bluer. And guess what,

171
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm awfully happy to be in a red state right now.

172
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: I would have been pulling my hair out as a

173
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: parent if my kids were still having to wear masks

174
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: to go to school. I would have been pulling my

175
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: hair out last year. If my kids weren't enrolled in

176
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: school and weren't going in person, I would have moved

177
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: out of California or New York or Illinois or any

178
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: of these other mindless, insane COVID lockdown states. And I

179
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: believe that's what's going on, and that's why we have

180
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: right now, as the Wall Street Journal said and it's

181
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: lead editorial today, a two track jobs recovery. Every single

182
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: time the unemployment numbers are coming out, it becomes more

183
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: and more readily apparent clear to everyone. Joe Biden and

184
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: Blue state economic policies are failing, and everybody in the

185
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: Red States knows it, and that domination is going to

186
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: continue to grow. We got a loaded show for you,

187
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, if you're just tuning in. Buck Sexton outsick. He,

188
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: like Joe Biden, has got a major cold. Unlike Joe Biden,

189
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: he can't even talk. He will be back Monday, fresh

190
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: and ready to roll. So well. I but we're gonna

191
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: have a great Friday show. In the meantime, we got

192
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: Monica Crowley at one Eastern to talk about the latest

193
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: economic numbers. At two we are scheduled to be joined

194
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: by Republican Senate candidate from Georgia, Herschel Walker wants to

195
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: call into the show introduce himself to you guys. Big

196
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: race coming up next year between he and the Reverend

197
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 1: Raphael Warnock that could determine control of the Senate. Lots

198
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: of different stories to get into. I want to talk

199
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: about a big statement by Joe Manchin in this next

200
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: segment rejecting the idea of private vaccine mandates for business

201
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: and why it's so significant going forward. And we're going

202
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: to talk about Stephen Colbert deciding to weigh in on abortion.

203
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: Remember when comedians were actually funny. Do you ever remember

204
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: tuning in back in the day for David Letterman Johnny

205
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: Carson to break down the latest on abortion cases as

206
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: part of their opening monologue. It's crazy what's happened there?

207
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: We got a transgender swimmer in the IVY League that

208
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: is dominating. Alec Baldwin made a full on, weird, strange

209
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: defense that said he had no responsibility whatsoever. All of

210
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: that headed your direction. I am Clay Travis, appreciate all

211
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: the support that you guys are showing for the show,

212
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: and I wanted to tell you right now, do something

213
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,800

214

Speaker 1: big carriers, but for far less money. How much less

217
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: money every month? How about fifty or sixty dollars a month.

218
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: We're hearing couples saving even ninety five dollars a month,

219
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 1: family saving more than eight hundred dollars a year. It's

246
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show rolling through

247
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: the Friday edition of the program. Breaking news for you,

248
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: by the way from Pontiac, Michigan. The parents of the

249
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: school shooter in Oakland County at that Oxford school have

250
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: all been charged. Both of them have been charged with

251
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: four counts of involuntary manslaughter. That is being announced as

252
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: we speak right now. The kid used his father's pistol,

253
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: and so I am presuming that that is where that

254
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: charge is coming from, but that is just coming down.

255
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you an update on that as

256
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: we speak. Also, this is significant and I'm not hearing

257
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: it talked about very much at all, and I may

258
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: have to build on this a bit going into the

259
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: next segment. Here. But we all know that Joe Biden's

260
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: vaccine mandates have been taking a beating in all of

261
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: our court system on a variety of different levels. And

262
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: that's because, as I've said, and this is me putting

263
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: my lawyer had on for a little bit here, he's

264
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: tried to argue that he has the authority to implement

265
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: this vaccine mandate under OSHA regulations. And that is a

266
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: wildly expansive reading of OSHA, which is a regulatory body

267
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: and isn't actually given by and large the kind of

268
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: expansive scope and authority that Joe Biden is trying to

269
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: claim for it. Well, what I said is, and I

270
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: think this is a good argument if there were really

271
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: a great demand for a federal vaccine mandate, one way

272
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: to demonstrate more legitimacy would be if there was a

273
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: vote in Congress and the House and the Senate agreed

274
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: with Joe Biden and said, you know what, we need

275
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: a federal vaccine mandate. But they haven't done that. In fact,

276
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: based on what happened late last night, the majority in

277
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: the Senate, remember which is evenly divided fifty fifty, would

278
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: now oppose Joe Biden's federal vaccine mandate. I haven't hardly

279
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: seen anybody talking about this, but Joe Mansha late last

280
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: night put out a statement West Virginia's Democratic Senator Joe Mansion,

281
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: and he said, I will not vote to shut down

282
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: the government for political reasons. But let me be clear,

283
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: this is a direct statement from Joe from sorry Joe

284
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: Mansion about Joe Biden's vaccine mandate. Joe Mansion says, I

285
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: do not support any government vaccine mandate on private businesses.

286
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: That's why I have co sponsored and will strongly support

287
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: a bill to overturn the federal government vaccine mandate for

288
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: private businesses. I have long said we should incentivize, not penalize,

289
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: private employers whose responsibility is to protect their employees from

290
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. He says he's been vaccinated, he encourages people

291
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: to do so, but he does not believe that the

292
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: federal government should be enforcing this private vaccine mandate. I'm

293
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: going to build on this a bit more because a

294
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: lot of you are asking the question, what should I

295
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: do associated with my job if they make a demand

296
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: that I get the vaccine. I will tell you my

297
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: legal advice based on everything that's happening when we come back.

298
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: In the meantime, the Tunnel of the Towers Foundation is

299
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: making the holidays brighter for our nation's gold star and

300
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: fallen first responder families with young children. For many of

301
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: these families, the holidays are a tough reminder of the

302
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: sacrifice their hero made for us. The Foundations giving away

303
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: at least a home a day from Thanksgiving through New

304
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: Year's Eve during its season of hope. With each mortgage

305
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: free home, Foundations delivering on its promise to do good

306
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: and never forget. For some of these families, they have

307
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: the comfort of knowing they can stay in the home

308
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: they picked with their loved one, the home where they

309
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: made precious holiday memories. For other families, it's a new

310
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,320

317
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: Network Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate

318
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us, Friday edition of

319
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: the program. So it's a break there. I told you

320
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: that I was going to return and discuss the federal

321
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: vaccine mandate that appears to be blowing up in Joe

322
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: Biden's face as the courts are striking it down and

323
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: Joe Mansion, a member of his own party West Virginia

324
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: Democratic Senator, came out against it. Significant because it means

325
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: the majority of the United States Senate is now opposed

326
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: to federal vaccine mandates, which makes it even more difficult

327
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden to try to argue that he has

328
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: the authority under OSHA to force through this federal vaccine mandate.

329
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: That doesn't me, however, that the arguments in favor of

330
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: it have ceased. In fact, they are of course being

331
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: doubled down on by little Red Lyinghood herself, Jensaki. If

332
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: you listen to cut eight here she tries to argue

333
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: that everybody out there who is making an argument against

334
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: the vaccine mandate is just lost their mind. Here is

335
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: her argument. We have seen and it has proven it's

336
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: not an opinion, it's not sort of political even that

337
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: mandates were Yeah, how's that going to go? How's that

338
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: going to happen? We're gonna see mandates or Republicans going

339
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: to continue to fight this. I bet they continue to

340
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: fight it, no question about it. I mean, we saw

341
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: a group of Republicans just tried to shut the government

342
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: down because they don't think people should have to get

343
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: vaccinated or get tested. I mean, that's bananas and crazy.

344
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: What we're working to try to do right now is

345
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: implement these mandates which are vaccinate or test either option

346
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: very reasonable for businesses around they and businesses about sixty

347
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: percent of businesses are already doing this. Okay, So this

348
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: is significant because I know a lot of you out

349
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: there are being forced or feeling forced to get a vaccine.

350
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: So that is the argument that Jensaki and crew that

351
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: was on Morning Joe I believe making the argument that

352
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: it's bananas and crazy not to have a vaccine mandate.

353
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: Well sender Mike Lee fired back and said basically that

354
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: he doesn't understand how anyone could use government force to

355
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: tell someone they needed to cooperate when it came to

356
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: vaccine mandates. I think it's it's difficult to understand why

357
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: anyone would want to use the overpowering force and the

358
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: federal government to tell someone that if they don't cooperate

359
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: with the ordained presidential medical orthodoxy, they will be fired.

360
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: This isn't going away. It's gonna come back up again.

361
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: You'll come back up in any future voterrama. It's gonna

362
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: come back again every time we get the opportunity. So

363
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: here's the argument that I would lay out. If your

364
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: job is arguing that you have to get the vaccine

365
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: because of the Biden administration mandate. And remember Joe Biden

366
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: tried to argue that if you are employed by a

367
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: business that has over a hundred employees, then you are

368
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: obligated to follow this OSHA regulation and to comply with

369
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: the vaccine mandate by a set date. I believe it

370
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: was January fourth. The courts have struck down that mandate.

371
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: So what I want all of you out there listening

372
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: to know and have the ammunition for, is you should

373
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 1: be able to respond to your employer if they are

374
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: still enforcing this mandate and arguing, again, this is key,

375
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: if they're arguing the reason why you have to do

376
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: it is because of Joe Biden's regulation. You should have

377
00:22:55,440 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: the ammunition to respond to your employer and say, federal

378
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: courts have actually struck down that mandate. It is not

379
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: in effect right now. So you don't have the ability

380
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: to defer to Joe Biden and argue, hey, you have

381
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: to get a vaccine right now under Joe Biden's order,

382
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: because that order has been found to be unconstitutional. And

383
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of you out there

384
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: who have not been informed by your employer that may

385
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: well have sent out an email, may well have had

386
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: a big public meeting when Joe Biden issued this mandate.

387
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: They bet they haven't updated you and said, oh, by

388
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: the way, the courts have struck down and said this

389
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: is unconstitutional. I want you to be able to know

390
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: that right now that mandate is not in effect now.

391
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: If you're a federal employee, that's a little bit different

392
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: of a standard because Joe Biden has more control over that.

393
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: But Joe Mansion and the majority of the United States

394
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: Senate now have actually repudiated the Biden administration. The Fifth

395
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: Circuit has struck it down. It is not in effect

396
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: for private businesses, to my knowledge, anywhere in the country

397
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: right now, And I think this is wildly important for

398
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: everyone out there listening right now who is at work.

399
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: You have some ammunition in your favor to be able

400
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: to say, no, I am not going to get this

401
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 1: vaccine because the courts have struck down that mandate and

402
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: the United States Senate, the majority of them, have now

403
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: said they do not believe Joe Biden has the authority

404
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: to do this either. Now, I'm not saying if your

405
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: employer is trying to make an argument for another reason,

406
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 1: right They are all different sorts of things that employers

407
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: can try to do, but many of them try to

408
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: avoid having their own policy on COVID vaccine and use

409
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: this Biden administration OSHA policy as the re reason that

410
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: they were going to try to make this a reality.

411
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: So I just want everybody to be aware of this

412
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: because most people in the media haven't done a very

413
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: good job covering this, and they certainly haven't talked about it.

414
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: And I thought it's wildly significant last night that Mansion

415
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: put out that statement to make it clear that there

416
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: is no legislative authority whatsoever to supplement Joe Biden's attempted

417
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: I believe unconstitutional COVID vaccine mandate. Now I want to

418
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: reiterate again too, and Buck and I always say this,

419
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: And by the way, Buck is outsick. He doesn't have COVID,

420
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: but he's outsick with a cold. He can barely talk.

421
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: So I'm in solo today that I'm not anti everybody

422
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: getting the vaccine. I believe that if you were over

423
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: sixty five years old, you should get the COVID vaccine,

424
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: and you should also get the booster. I told my

425
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: own parents to do that as my advice. Obviously, I

426
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: don't tell my parents do anything. They make their own choices.

427
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: They raised me they can make their own choices about

428
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: their health. But I told them, hey, if I were you,

429
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: this is what I do. They did. Buck made this

430
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: have the same conversation with his parents. But if you're

431
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: listening to me right now and you're thirty five years

432
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: old and you're healthy, you may have already had COVID

433
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: like I did, and your employer is trying to tell

434
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: you that you have to get the COVID vaccine to

435
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: keep your job because of Joe Biden's mandate. No, there

436
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: is no legal authority for that mandate right now, And

437
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot of employers haven't even realized it

438
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: because they wanted to use the bat Biden vaccine mandate

439
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: is justification. And I haven't seen a lot of media

440
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: coverage of It's not going to surprise you that CNN

441
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: and MSNBC, in Washington Post, the New York Times aren't

442
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time saying, Hey, employees out there,

443
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: this is a big deal. You need to be aware

444
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: of what actually is going on and what your legal

445
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: rights are. And I hope the millions of you out

446
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: there who will hear this discussion will at least be

447
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: better informed than you otherwise would based on what is

448
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: going on right now. I want you to make sure

449
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: that all of you are aware of the constitutional rights

450
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: you have and also will stand up for your freedoms

451
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: despite the fears of others, as I keep saying, and

452
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: I think it's significant your fears don't cancel out our

453
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 1: constitutional freedoms. The Constitution matters more in times of peril,

454
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: more in times of danger, more in times of fear,

455
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: than it does in times of peace. And I am

456
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: hopeful that many of our judges will finally stand up

457
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: to this unconstitutional overreach that we are seeing from the

458
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: Biden administration as it pertains to COVID vaccine mandates. In

459
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: the meantime, I got a funny clip for you, and

460
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: we come back. A lot of people make a lot

461
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: of money these days in sports. Brian Kelly left Notre

462
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: Dame to go to LSU. In the process of that

463
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: evidently two hour plane fight from South Bend to Baton Rouge,

464
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: he has developed one of the worst Southern accents of

465
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: all time. Never had a Southern accent before. Born in

466
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: the Northeast. He addressed the LSU fans last night in

467
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: the Pantheon, up there with con Air and Nicholas Cage,

468

469
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: you are a Southerner, this is going to be one

470
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: of the greatest fake Southern accents you have ever heard

502
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: I lived down in Nashville, born and raised in the South.

503
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: Happy to be here, going down to Atlanta as soon

504
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: as I finished the show today for what should be

505
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: an epic SEC championship game between Georgia and Alabama. In fact,

506
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: we're going to do a live pregame broadcast for those

507
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: of you who may be going into Atlanta or live

508
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: in the area at Stats Sports Bar from one to

00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: three Eastern tomorrow, so you're welcome to swing by and

510
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: watch that before the game starts. Gonna beer, hang out, celebrate.

511
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I know Southern accents pretty well. When

512
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: I was in college, my roommates I went to George

513
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: Washington up in DC. My roommates, who are all from

514
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: the Northeast, would ask me to hit play over and

515
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: over again when my mom and dad called, because they

516
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: were so blown away with how unique their Southern accents

517
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: were as guys who had grown up in the Northeast

518
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: and also in California. They had never really heard a

519
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: real Southern accent, so they were blown away by my parents.

520
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: They would literally ask me to hit on the old

521
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: voice message of machines. You know you could hit play.

522
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 1: They'd want to hear my mom or my dad leaving

523
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: a message for me. So Brian Kelly just got a

524
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract to leave South Bend, Indiana, where

525
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: he had been the coach at Notre Dame, and go

526
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: and take over at LSU. LSU. Obviously he's in Baton Rouge,

527
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: about an hour outside ish of New Orleans. You haven't

528
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: ever been to Louisiana. Haven't been to New Orleans? Fabulous state,

529
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: filled with fabulous people. I love them. I love all

530
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: the South, right, I'm born and raised in the South.

531
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: I've been on the bus tour all over the South.

532
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: I know we got people listening all over the country.

533
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: But the people that I have the most in common

534
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: with are oftentimes people that I will meet on that

535
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: US tour who are big college football fans and also

536
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: like me, just think the country has gone absolutely insane,

537
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: and we had Alley our producer and Buckdown. They had

538
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: a great time at the old Miss Alabama game. So

539
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly takes this hundred million dollar job. He's from

540
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: the Northeast, I believe, born and raised in Massachusetts. He's

541
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: been coaching in the Midwest at that Notre Dame. Has

542
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: never had an accent at all to my knowledge. He

543
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: addressed the LSU basketball crowd last night, gets this hundred

544
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: million dollars deal, moves down to Louisiana, has literally been

545
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: on the ground in Louisiana for a couple of hours,

546
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: and he now has developed this awkward, deep, incredibly fake

547
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: Southern accent. I want to see, especially the Southerners. I

548
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: think you guys are gonna hear it and be like,

549
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: oh my God. But I think even people who are

550
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: from different parts of the country, especially if you've ever

551
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: heard Brian Kelly speak before, this is pretty funny. He

552
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: sounds like there there's a pantheon of bad Southern accents.

553
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: If you're from the South, you will recognize actors or

554
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: actresses attempting to be from the South. And I would

555
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: say Nicholas Cage and Conair for those of you who

556
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: have seen that Esteemed film, that is maybe the apex

557
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: of the bad Southern accent. But also, if you watched

558
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: House of Cards before Kevin Spacey got kicked off spoiler

559
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: alert for allegedly sexually assaulting kids, he had one of

560
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: the worst accents of all time as a Southerner. This now,

561
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly, this is real. Last night addressing the LSU

562
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: fan base, I think you're going to enjoy it. Thank you,

563
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: thank you well. This is a great way to get started,

564
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: and I haven't even won all my games yet. It's

565
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: a great guy to be a Tiger. I'm here with

566
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: my family and we are so excited to be in

567
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: the greatest state of louis Insiana, but more impartly to

568
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: be with you great fans and to be part of

569
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: what is going to be an incredible ride here at

570
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: Louisiana State University. So look, one hundred million dollars. A

571
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: lot of you out there may be like, Hey, I'll

572
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: put on whatever accent you want if you pay me

573
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars, but this is just so transparently back,

574
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: can we just grab that one word family is that

575
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: is the worst Southern accent that I have ever heard.

576
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: He's sixty years old. You know, it's not as if

577
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: he's been in the South for twenty years. Like every

578
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,959
Speaker 1: now and then, my wife, who is from Michigan will

579
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: drop a y'all in, and she grew up with a

580
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: Michigan accent, but she's been down here for over twenty years,

581
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: and so you will pick up the mannerisms, the flavor,

582
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 1: the speech patterns of different places that you might have gone.

583
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: But it's impossible to be more inauthentically Southern than Brian

584
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: Kelly just trying to do that in that conversation there,

585
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: and it reminded me of what we see from so

586
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: many politicians. Do you remember Hillary Clinton's awful Southern accent?

587
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: What about Kamala Harris and the way that she talks

588
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: when she speaks to different groups. It is just so

589
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: transparently fake. The way you sound should be the same

590
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: no matter who you're talking to. As soon as you

591
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: start trying to pretend to be like the people that

592
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: you are around, they can see through you. And so

593
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: right now Brian Kelly is getting absolutely roasted in a

594
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: funny way by Southerners all over the country because he

595
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: did what so many fake politicians do, try to pretend

596
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 1: to be something that you are not in an effort

597
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:05,720
Speaker 1: to try and make yourself more likable. And ultimately, people

598
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: don't care what Brian Kelly sounds like. If he wins

599
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: football games at LSU at a high rate, they're gonna

600
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: love him. If he loses, they're gonna hate him. Nick

601
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: Saban's not from the South, is from West Virginia, but

602
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't really have a strong Southern accent. He got

603
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: down to Alabama. If he wins, it doesn't matter what

604
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: you sound like, And the same lesson should be true

605
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: for politicians. We don't want you to deign to us,

606
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: to talk down to us, to try to pretend that

607
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: you are something you are not. We just want you

608
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: to do the damn job well. And when you are

609
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: fake talking to us, when you are trying to adopt

610
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: our mannerisms or our speech patterns that don't reflect who

611
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: you actually are, it doesn't make us like you more.

612
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: It makes us trust you less. And so it's funny

613
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: and ridiculous as that awful con air like accent was

614
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: for Brian Kelly, I thought it was instructive. As we

615
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: get ready for the twenty twenty two campaign and everybody

616
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: prepares to go on the road don't try to be

617
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 1: something that you're not. What is so rare today is authenticity,

618
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:19,640
