Welcome to today's edition of the

Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show podcast.

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton
0:07
Show, Hour number two, Wednesday Edition.
0:10
We've got a lot to dive into this hour.
0:13
We've got the Covenant School anniversary
0:16
I mentioned. We want to talk about that one year
0:18
ago, the shooting there, six innocent
0:20
people lost their lives Trans shooter.
0:23
We still have not gotten that trans manifesto.
0:26
Ron DeSantis got a big win over
0:29
Disney, remember that big dispute.
0:31
We'll talk a little bit about that as well.
0:34
But I wanted to keep talking about the announcement
0:37
by RFK Junior of
0:40
his vice presidential pick Nicole Shanahan
0:42
and what seems to be a
0:44
panic that is set in among
0:47
the Biden advisors
0:49
over what RFK Junior is doing
0:52
potentially to his candidacy, particularly
0:54
in swing states. And
0:56
I always think Buck and maybe this will change
1:00
that. You will see very
1:02
often how the campaigns
1:05
are acting to give you
1:07
a sense of what their true polding shows.
1:09
Let's go back in time. We mentioned
1:11
in nineteen ninety.
1:12
Two Bill Clinton wanted Ross
1:14
Perout involved in everything, wanted
1:17
him on the stage for the debates, wanted
1:19
him involved in every single
1:21
policy issue that he and George HW.
1:24
Bush had.
1:25
Because he recognized that Perot
1:27
cut into Bush's overall
1:30
vote in fact and cut
1:32
into conversation, can it finish? Can find
1:34
it very good? Candi be very good? That might
1:36
be top five of your of
1:38
your impersonations. You could make
1:40
the argument that George HW. Bush
1:43
wins in ninety two potentially
1:46
if you don't end up in a situation
1:48
where there is a third party and lots of people
1:50
voted for Ross Perreau. I believe
1:52
he got eighteen percent of the overall
1:55
vote, which is a high water mark for a third party
1:57
candidate in the modern era. What
2:00
we're seeing right now is there
2:02
is a real panic in the
2:04
Biden side about the impact RFK
2:07
Junior could have. And they even brought
2:09
all the Kennedy family to the White House. I don't
2:11
think we talked about it on the program to
2:14
endorse Biden. And you're sitting
2:16
around saying, Okay, why is that a
2:19
lot of old school Democrat voters,
2:21
I'm talking to people in their seventies and eighties
2:24
who grew up and have some fond recollection
2:26
of the Kennedy era in their minds.
2:29
Of both JFK of RFK even
2:32
maybe a little bit teddy Kennedy, but
2:34
have sort of that patna of
2:38
what was the Camelot era, and
2:41
they may walk into their voting booth
2:44
and they recognize the name Kennedy, and
2:46
they have fondifications of that era
2:49
of the Democrat Party, and they may
2:51
end up voting for RFK Junior.
2:54
Now, right now, both sides. Immediately
2:57
after Biden sent out a
3:00
announcement saying that RFK Junior
3:02
is a right wing zealot. Trump
3:05
put out an announcement saying that
3:08
RFK Junior is a left
3:10
wing loon. So they're both trying
3:12
to define RFK Junior
3:15
in a way that their base would find
3:17
not likable. I asked the question,
3:20
and I do really think it's true. One of the we
3:22
got a bunch of VIP emails, and one of them wrote
3:24
in and said, Fellas, yes, this
3:26
is from Mark. RFK could beat Trump.
3:29
Don't give them any ideas they could still
3:31
dump Joe and nominate RFK
3:33
at the convention.
3:34
Mark from Pennsylvania.
3:36
They will not do that because they have
3:38
decided that RFK Junior is U
3:41
is basically kryptonite to the Democrat Party.
3:43
But I do think he would beat Trump if he were
3:46
the nominee for the Democrat
3:48
Party because he has enough middle
3:50
of the road appeal. I think
3:52
he would win.
3:53
I think he would. Well, let's not let's let's
3:56
not give them any They're not going to do it. They're not going
3:58
to do Biden.
3:58
There is a weak candidate, but I think rf
4:00
K Junior would be a stronger one. It's gonna
4:02
be Biden because he's got to buy me that big expensive steak
4:05
r f K Jr. This is from
4:07
Donald Trump, from his Truth Social
4:09
which is now worth.
4:11
Five or six billion dollars. I think his
4:13
stake and I will check in real time, buck.
4:15
I think that it is.
4:17
Let's see, it is up another fifteen
4:19
percent today, approaching
4:21
seventy dollars a share. DJT
4:24
trading Truth Trump, Media and Technology
4:27
is Truth Social. It is now available for
4:30
your purchase. As always
4:32
these meme stock situations, I would just say,
4:34
if you're not a professional, be careful.
4:36
Yeah.
4:37
R f K Junior, he writes, is the
4:39
most radical left candidate in the race
4:42
by far. He's a big fan
4:44
of the green news scam and other
4:46
economy killing disasters. I
4:48
guess this would mean he is going to be taking votes
4:51
from Crooked Joe Biden, which would be
4:53
a great service to America. His running
4:55
mate, Nicole Shanahan is even
4:57
more liberal than him, if that's
5:00
Kennedy is a radical left Democrat and
5:03
always will be. It's great for MAGA,
5:05
but the communists will make it very hard for
5:08
him to get.
5:08
On the ballot. I didn't know that
5:10
Trump calls them communists. That's that's
5:12
made my day.
5:14
Expect him and her to be indicted any
5:16
day now, probably for environmental
5:19
fraud. He is Crooked Joe Biden's
5:21
political opponent, not mine. I love
5:23
that he is running Wow Trump
5:25
Just that's like a trump uh a
5:28
trump Athon right there. I mean, he's covering a
5:30
lot of ground. So on the one hand,
5:32
he is throwing straight haymakers at
5:35
RFK Junior for being a left wing
5:37
green new Deal commy lib.
5:40
And on the other.
5:40
He's like, but this is great because it'll take more votes
5:43
from Biden. I hope
5:45
he's right. I
5:48
I worry. I mean, I just
5:50
I think it gives a lot of like, not never
5:52
Trumpers, but anything Nate
5:54
Trump kind of a you know, center
5:57
to write a center people some other option that
5:59
might go for Trump otherwise, But it's
6:01
so hard to I don't think there is
6:04
a poll you could run or a polling company
6:06
that could have the mandate of really determining
6:08
this before the election with any because
6:10
it's such a small it's one percent
6:13
or two percent of the electorate, How are you gonna
6:15
know? I think the more people
6:17
that are on the ballot, the more it helps
6:19
Trump. So if you get Carnel
6:22
West, if you get Jill Stein, if
6:24
you get RFK Junior on
6:26
ballots, because in general,
6:29
I think the Trump people are more committed
6:31
to Trump than the Biden people are committed
6:33
to Biden, and that dilutes
6:35
the anti Trump vote and gets spread
6:38
elsewhere. And I think that's why the Democrats
6:41
are so panicked over the idea of
6:43
no labels. Biden is
6:45
just an anti Trump vessel. That
6:48
is basically his entire political
6:50
campaign. It was in twenty
6:52
twenty and it sounds like it's going to be in twenty
6:55
four again. He's not even trying to run on what he
6:57
did. He's running on the fact
6:59
that he's not Trump. And so
7:01
the more not Trump votes
7:04
there are, the more that gets
7:06
diluted. That's a general analysis.
7:08
Now, if it's just Trump Biden
7:11
and RFK Junior. I
7:14
get nervous that RFK Junior pulls
7:16
more from Trump than he does Biden in
7:18
a five or six person field. I
7:20
think it ends up net benefit to Trump. I
7:22
believe we have the audio, by the way.
7:25
Of that.
7:27
Of that response from RFK Junior
7:29
to the Native American apology, which
7:32
many of you are reacting to either
7:34
saying I never knew that happened, or this
7:37
is happening everywhere and it's crazy.
7:39
So there's a lot of people out in the audience on both perspectives.
7:41
Here we played you that crazy Native American
7:44
open. Here was RFK Junior reacting
7:46
to I.
7:46
Want to start out first office
7:49
thanking all of you, thanking
7:51
Oakland, and thank all of you
7:53
for being here today. I also want
7:56
to thank the I'm the
7:59
the tribal
8:01
chiefdoms, the moly Loney
8:04
Tribe, and the chairwoman of the Tribal
8:06
Council for endorsing me today,
8:09
for putting their faith in me. Oh, and
8:12
they know very much they
8:16
struggle or Indigenous rights
8:18
has consumed a lot of my life, my
8:20
personal and my professional life, and
8:23
that this work is going to continue when
8:25
we're in the White House.
8:28
I have so many so many things that this first
8:30
of all, this is why I don't trust them.
8:31
Okay, I'm just saying, somebody.
8:35
Opens their ceremony, opens
8:37
their you know, their press conference or whatever with the
8:40
apology to the Native tribes, can't
8:42
trust them.
8:43
It's just a rule.
8:43
It's just an ironclad because what
8:46
is it supposed to even do, like, what
8:48
is the purposes? By the way, this is from Janice, one
8:50
of our VIPs, wrote in guess what every
8:53
class in our museums, artist groups,
8:55
and probably every other group in Washington State
8:57
starts with an apology to the Native Americans
9:00
with acknowledgment that it was all their land first.
9:02
The Mexican, our Mexicans around here are trying
9:04
to do the same thing and getting militant about
9:07
it. Jeers, Well, that's a whole other thing,
9:09
the irridentism of Mexicans
9:13
about the lost lands of Mexico
9:15
from the Mexican American War.
9:17
That was a fun vocal word for to day.
9:19
By the way, I say
9:21
this, man, I don't apologize
9:23
to anybody for something that I haven't done,
9:25
and I don't.
9:26
I don't.
9:26
I don't accept apologies on my behalf
9:29
as part of some group. I apologize
9:31
for nothing that I have not done
9:34
myself. I don't apologize.
9:36
Maybe if Ginger started to bark in public,
9:38
I would apologize for her.
9:39
That's it.
9:41
My wife apologizes for me all the time,
9:43
so I appreciate that. And
9:45
uh, and I probably need to apologize for my kids
9:47
all the time too. But buck this whole
9:49
idea of apology. I mentioned
9:52
this to you because I had no idea. I went
9:54
to Australia. They have a
9:56
national sorry Day before
9:59
the New Year's fireworks celebraty. I'm not even
10:01
making this up, you know, having it's
10:03
called a National Sorry Day and
10:06
they just apologize to everybody that
10:08
was in Australia before them. A couple
10:10
of things that that I'm worried this has coming
10:12
to the US, and I see it in some of these
10:14
left wing jurisdictions in the
10:16
US. When before
10:19
they started the fireworks celebration in
10:21
Sydney, one of the great fireworks celebrations
10:23
for New Years anywhere, they
10:25
had an apology to the native people for
10:28
taking their lands before the fireworks
10:31
the Aborigines, right, yes, yes, When
10:34
we toured the Sydney Bridge, beautiful
10:37
bridge that connects over the harbor of
10:39
Sydney that you
10:41
can take a walk over it, which is very
10:43
cool.
10:43
You get to see all of Sydney from there.
10:45
At the Apex, the tour
10:47
guide said, I'd like for us all to
10:50
pause here and as we gaze
10:52
upon I'm not making this up, this is real. As
10:54
we gaze upon the land, understand
10:57
that this was not our land and that we took it from
10:59
the Abora Digal people. Now I
11:01
could barely keep a straight face. I mean, it's so
11:04
ridiculous.
11:05
That's a lie. Yes, it's a lie. Though well
11:07
I didn't. I didn't.
11:08
That's amable, like apology
11:11
that exists in a place like Australia,
11:13
which we otherwise think of.
11:14
I think you said it as you used to
11:16
think of it as like you know.
11:18
I thought it was England at better weather, but it's actually
11:20
East Germany with kangaroos.
11:22
Yes, no, it's absolutely true.
11:24
But how do you keep a straight face when you're apologizing
11:26
for something that happened you had nothing
11:29
to.
11:29
Do with at all? I don't remember, because that's what
11:31
I mean. That's there is it is.
11:33
It is a perversion of morality
11:36
to make demands of people based
11:38
upon what what ancestors
11:41
did Okay. It is a perversion
11:44
of basic culpability
11:47
and individual responsibility, and
11:49
it's it's wrong. It is it is
11:51
an immoral thing to say somebody
11:54
did something one hundred and fifty years ago, you
11:57
should you should feel sorry. I
11:59
don't feel sorry at all. Maybe
12:01
this is the thing. I do not feel sorry. I will
12:03
not apologize. I don't feel sorry about
12:06
what I did to the Native tribes because
12:08
I didn't do anything to the Native tribes.
12:10
Okay, Do I wish that somebody
12:12
could go back in time and get human beings to be nice
12:14
over each other, you know, one hundred and fifty
12:17
or two hundred or five hundred years ago. Yeah,
12:19
sure, But I got other problems to worry
12:21
about right now.
12:22
I'm sorry.
12:22
Like when we talk about Native rights, by the way, what are the
12:24
native rights they've They've already got giant atm
12:27
machines in the form of casinos that are
12:29
able to operate on these reservations that just
12:31
spit out money. No one else allowed to have this state
12:33
enforced monopoly. Like, what are
12:36
the rights they want all the land back? What
12:38
is that?
12:39
What?
12:39
So?
12:39
What have we been talking about? It's absurd.
12:42
In addition to the fact that no one was
12:44
alive today at all.
12:47
Those places have been built way better than
12:49
they were before. Right, does
12:51
the people wish that Australia had never
12:54
actually been developed? Are
12:56
you telling me that Australia
12:59
would be better off whatever you want to call the country
13:01
if there had been no one discovered
13:04
it and it was still living in a primitive, like
13:07
incredibly not advanced
13:09
culture. And this is the big
13:11
issue here in general, is Western
13:14
civilization is good.
13:17
It made everything better? Are there doubt
13:20
side to the way in which it occurred? Yes, of
13:22
course the notion
13:24
so what was it gonna be? They're gonna be hermetically sealed
13:26
off from the rest restaurant, the
13:29
question, right, because by the way, you know,
13:31
eventually they were gonna get hit with something their immune
13:33
systems, which actually ended up happening, but it was
13:35
gonna happen at some point there, there's
13:37
gonna be more human contact. Human contact is messy
13:40
and violent, and you know
13:42
human beings, ultimately, we are all animals
13:45
and.
13:45
We do bad things.
13:46
This whole this apology
13:49
stuff, it is all just brain
13:51
damage. It's brain mush. It's just
13:53
bending the knee to uh
13:56
to this communist Marxist
13:59
clap trap. And I'm sick and whether
14:01
it's about you know, it used to be about class, but
14:03
now we're so rich in this country that it's all about race
14:05
and all about ethnicity all the time.
14:06
We're all supposed to be Oh, I'm so sorry.
14:08
I apologize for nothing
14:11
that I have not done as a human being, and I will
14:13
have no one apologize on my behalf
14:15
for something I have not done as a human being. It's a
14:17
very straightforward premise. But this whole thing
14:20
is laughable, and the people who go along with it are imbeciles,
14:22
and the people who demand it are just absolute
14:25
babies.
14:27
That's well said.
14:27
I would also point out anyone who lives in America
14:30
today is incredibly fortunate to be
14:32
here relative to global standards
14:34
of wealth anywhere and quality of life.
14:36
I mean, you know, well, why is it a matter how you get the
14:38
bad side for the you know, the natives in this country
14:40
in Australia, It's like yeah, also like how
14:43
you know, we never get to thank you for
14:45
you know, written language, for the wheel,
14:48
or or antibiotics or computers.
14:50
You know, it's always just like, oh, Western civilization
14:52
did all these terrible things. I don't know, roads
14:55
and rule of law are kind of cool too, like it's
14:57
not just all downside. But we can't even talk
14:59
about that. We can because Western
15:01
civilization is a good thing. And you know what
15:03
else is a good thing, cell phones, which we have
15:05
because of Western civilization. If you want to save

16:19
Okay, So Joe Biden, the President
16:22
speaking about all
16:24
the times that he went
16:26
across the Francis Scott Key Bridge,
16:28
which we all know, biggest news story really in the
16:30
country this week collapsed
16:33
as a shipping as a shipping
16:35
container ship rammed into
16:37
it, power outage, lost
16:40
control, went into this pylon
16:43
and the whole thing came down.
16:44
It's all on video. We've all seen it.
16:46
Here is Biden talking about how many times he went
16:48
over the Francis Scott Key Bridge
16:50
via train.
16:51
About one thirty container ship struck
16:53
to Francis Scott's Key Bridge, which I've
16:56
been over many many times commuting
16:58
from the city of Delawery. They're trained by
17:01
car.
17:03
Uh.
17:04
There are no trains that go over this
17:07
this bridge. Now I understand
17:10
you can say Okay, he'said trainer or by car whatever.
17:13
Biden's in.
17:15
Biden's desire to always make himself
17:17
part of the sympathy play and to lie.
17:20
And he does this in a whole range of things. I
17:22
mean, it's who he is, it's what this is
17:24
what he does all the time.
17:26
And you would think that some of his advisors
17:29
would tell him, no, there is
17:31
no train that goes over this bridge.
17:34
So if you thought that you are mistaken,
17:36
we understand that you ride the friggin' train.
17:40
It doesn't you don't have to have a connection
17:43
to the bridge. It's bad
17:45
that the bridge fell. We don't need
17:47
to know that you've been over the bridge before. It's
17:50
just you're right. He has
17:52
to make everything to him.
17:54
Yeah, it's very very strange, even
17:57
when it requires a lie and
18:00
even when it should have absolutely nothing to do
18:02
with it. Last night, I was so grateful
18:04

19:05
One and two mentioned that
19:08
it is the one year anniversary of
19:11
the Covenant School shooting that occurred in my
19:13
hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.
19:16
One year ago today, three students
19:19
and three workers at that school
19:21
were murdered by a trans
19:23
shooter.
19:24
Who was then shot and
19:26
killed by police.
19:27
Officers from Metro Nashville Police Department
19:30
responding to.
19:31
Protect the other people there.
19:35
We still don't know the
19:37
full story of what motivated
19:39
that transshooter's decision
19:42
to.
19:42
Take all of these lives.
19:45
And they have had
19:48
a series of writings been described
19:51
as a manifesto, but it's a series of writings
19:53
from her for
19:57
a year now, and
20:01
it's not been allowed to be discussed. And
20:04
I just want all of you to think about
20:06
this. Even in a red
20:08
state like Tennessee
20:11
where I live, a
20:14
crazy trans shooter
20:18
who killed six innocent people,
20:21
there has been virtually no
20:23
discussion about what her
20:26
motivations were or
20:28
whether the trans identity
20:30
might have in any way influenced
20:33
or motivated her decision to take six
20:35
innocent lives. I
20:38
usually, Buck, as you well know, the
20:41
motives of every mass shooter
20:44
are released to everyone within
20:47
twenty four hours of their shooting,
20:50
even sometimes when you disagree with it being
20:53
released. The full manifesto
20:55
was at El Paso of the
20:57
shooter at a Walmart. I think in the El Paso
21:01
everybody saw that almost
21:03
instantaneously. When
21:05
the narrative is challenged or
21:08
when favored groups on the left
21:10
are involved, the story disappears.
21:12
The same thing happened up in Waukesha.
21:16
Black guy drives a car through a Christmas
21:18
parade, killing to
21:22
six. I think they are two innocent
21:25
people mangling the bodies
21:27
of many more. There's racist
21:29
writings where he says
21:31
that he wants to kill white people out
21:34
there. Story pretty much vanishes
21:37
Joe Biden, to my knowledge, Bucks still never been
21:39
to Waukeshaw, still never been to Nashville.
21:41
To help draw attention to these
21:43
events. If
21:46
you were to work through what the
21:48
political calculations are and holding
21:51
back the manifesto, I
21:54
think it makes it all pretty obvious what's
21:56
going on here. Let's
21:59
say for a moment and that in
22:01
the manifesto there is something along
22:04
the lines of, you know, the
22:07
trans genocide that is underway,
22:10
which the left will I know, you'll hear
22:12
that term, say wait what the left will talk about
22:14
this.
22:15
They will often also talk about the.
22:16
Disproportionate violence that trans people
22:18
suffer, and all kinds of things to
22:21
create this sense of there
22:23
is a horrible evil that is.
22:24
Underway against trans people.
22:27
And if there's mention of that in
22:29
the manifesto, which I think is very likely
22:31
to be the case, again, I can't say because
22:33
I don't know, because nobody knows, because we're not allowed to see
22:35
it. And then also if
22:37
some of these states that have passed
22:40
bills that are considered anti trans
22:42
in some capacity, whether it's you know, you can't
22:44
use whatever bathroom you want, or you can't plan
22:46
the sports team, or you can't the big
22:49
thing has been surgeries
22:51
for miners, right, and in other states like Tennessee
22:53
is trying to and if there's mention
22:56
of that, the problem is that the left has set
22:58
up their their current civil rights crusade
23:01
is about transism,
23:04
trans ideology, and if
23:07
you have a case of a trans
23:09
individual who is a terrorist,
23:12
and a terrorist motivated by the very
23:14
rhetoric that they are using to
23:17
try to bully people into silence about
23:19
twelve year olds taking hormone blocking
23:22
drugs and having their you know,
23:24
breasts removed or whatever it may be, that
23:27
causes a problem for the crusade right,
23:29
that causes a problem for the new civil rights struggle
23:31
of this era. So I think that's why
23:34
there's such a there's
23:36
such a powerful opposition
23:39
to the release of the manifesto,
23:41
because what other reason if it
23:43
were about privacy or concerns
23:46
about you know, I don't know specific
23:49
details that could affect security or safety of people
23:51
who are still.
23:52
Living whatever it may be.
23:54
Explain that block
23:56
out that stuff, block out that stuff
23:58
in the transcript. Maybe people would still have a
24:00
problem with that, but at least you're moving in the right direction
24:02
of transparency. To hold the
24:05
entire thing back is completely
24:08
inexcusable because this is one of
24:10
those things where the public has
24:12
a right to know. And on other
24:15
issue, you know, instances of me. This is mass
24:17
violence against children. She went in and shooting little
24:19
kids. I mean, there's
24:22
nothing more evil there is. It is not possible
24:24
to do something more evil than
24:26
what this person did. Maybe there's as
24:28
evil, but there's not more evil than murdering small
24:30
children. And
24:34
Clay, you look at this, you say to yourself, they
24:36
really expect us to forget about this.
24:38
That's what meaning the manifesto they expect.
24:41
And let's be honest, I think they want us to forget
24:43
about the whole thing they I think the left in this
24:45
country wants us to just, you know,
24:47
the same way we're not supposed to think about the attempted
24:49
mass assassination of congressmen back
24:51
in twenty eighteen on a baseball field in Alexandria,
24:54
Virginia by a guy who is shouting
24:56
this is for healthcare shot, Steve Scalise
24:59
tried to kill Senator Ran Paul
25:01
and among others. We're supposed to forget
25:03
about this as well. Brett Kavanaugh
25:06
guy shows up to try to murder him at his house because
25:08
he wants to change the Roe v. Wade
25:10
ruling back to avoid
25:12
Dobbs taking effect. I've
25:15
been told that part
25:17
of the writings involves
25:21
her casing schools and
25:24
deciding to attack this school because
25:26
she thought there was less security there. It's
25:29
a big national story
25:33
if someone who is going to shoot up a school
25:36
consider schools based on the security
25:39
that's there. I've said for
25:41
some time I think every school should
25:43
have armed security in the entire country. That doesn't
25:45
seem controversial to me. My
25:47
kids went to a public school that has
25:50
armed security. One of mine's still there. I've
25:52
got two in private school now, but
25:54
my kids were in public school through
25:57
sixth grade. I want
25:59
public school kids to have armed security.
26:01
I want private school kids to have armed security.
26:05
This seems like it would be an important detail
26:08
if it's true that a
26:10
mass shooter is doing a reconnaissance.
26:14
Do you think it's a coincidence buck that mass shooters
26:16
never seem to go after by and large
26:19
places with large groups of armed people
26:21
in them. Right, there aren't that many
26:23
times where a
26:26
police station is stormed by
26:28
a mass shooter. Sometimes
26:31
there's deranged people who decide to shoot at police stations.
26:33
That happens most of the time. Mass
26:35
shooters go places where they know there
26:38
is not armed security. They
26:41
may be crazy, but they're surveilling
26:43
it for that purpose. So I
26:45
just think it's on the one year anniversary. Certainly,
26:48
for everybody who is recovering from that
26:50
shooting, they have our thoughts, they have our
26:53
prayers. We want them to
26:55
recover the best of their ability. And for people
26:57
who lost family members, I
27:00
cannot imagine how difficult
27:03
a daylight today the anniversary is
27:05
to take you back into your mindset
27:07
on that day. But for the larger
27:09
American community out there, I
27:11
think it's important that we know the full story
27:14
and we know the full motivations, and so I wanted
27:16
to make sure that we talked about it here
27:18
because frankly, I don't think you're going to hear very
27:20
many media outlets even mentioned
27:23
the one year anniversary, or the fact
27:25
that we still do not have the
27:27
full basis upon
27:29
which that transshooter decided
27:32
to act.
27:32
It's even worse.
27:33
We don't even have an official declaration
27:36
of motive from law enforcement correct
27:39
that they won't even say the motivation
27:41
was the following. They have a manifesto,
27:44
they know they won't tell
27:46
us. Why won't they tell us? And
27:49
it reminds me of the height
27:53
of this kind of dishonesty before
27:55
this incident, I think was reached. You remember
27:58
the Pulse nightclub shooting.
28:00
Oh yeah, with a Muslim guy who goes
28:02
in, you know, jihadist
28:05
who goes in and he is killing
28:07
all these.
28:08
People at a at a at a gay club.
28:10
He shooting them and and
28:12
and he called in on a cell phone, and
28:14
they had the transcript of it. You remember
28:16
the FBI released the transcript with blacked
28:18
out words, and and not only
28:20
did they do that, go back, people
28:22
forget about this. I have to remind people of this clay.
28:25
They blacked out words that everybody knew what the words
28:27
were.
28:28
Yeah, it was Allah,
28:30
it was Isis, it was Islam.
28:33
All of that was removed from the transcript
28:35
that was officially released under the Obama administration.
28:38
And you know, because there's loam religion of peace, we're all supposed
28:41
to say that was. Remember that was the declaration. I've
28:43
never heard all that. People were always saying Islam
28:45
is religion of peace. I never heard them say once that Judaism
28:47
of Christianity were religions of peace. Only Islam,
28:50
which just saying I thought that was interesting in and
28:52
of itself, right, Like, it's one thing if you want to claim that
28:54
all religions are but no, the only one we ever heard. But
28:57
put that aside for a second. M I try
28:59
to get too deep into that conversation. They
29:02
blacked out things from a transcript for no reason
29:05
other than politics that were so obvious
29:07
that every person with a fifth grade
29:09
reading level knew exactly what
29:11
was black.
29:12
Why would they do that?
29:13
You know, they're trying to
29:16
control public information, They're trying to control
29:18
public perception, and they do this
29:20
with manipulating emotions
29:23
around the most extremely emotional
29:25
events, which are things like this mass
29:28
killings by dranged maniacs.
29:31
So, but if they're willing to do that,
29:34
if they're willing to block out things in a transcript and
29:36
there's an official call e or not official, but you know there's
29:38
a call that was made to the police, they'll
29:40
lie to you about anything that's the point they'll lie
29:43
about anything near anniversary.
29:45
How many major media shows counting
29:48
this as one will even mention the fact
29:50
that we still don't have the full transcript today? What
29:52
percentage we might be the only
29:54
ones, and we might you know,
29:56
maybe one of our friends, you know, on talk
29:58
radio will mention it later or that's
30:01
it. Though they won't won't get any mentioned. I
30:03
won't get I don't even think I get mentioned. Maybe it'll get
30:05
mentioned on Fox. I don't even think it'll get mentioned on Fox.

Hang a weekend podcast to lighten.
31:22
Things up a bit.

Find it in the Clay and Buck podcast feed

31:29
Welcome back into Clay and Buck.
31:30
Dave McCormick, running for Senate in
31:32
Pennsylvania's gonna join us in just a few
31:34
minutes.
31:35
Talk about that critical.
31:36
Race again case I
31:39
think three term incumbent eighteen years
31:41
that guy's been a senator. So, uh,
31:43
it's a steep climb, but
31:46
we think Dave McCormick is the guy to get it
31:48
done. Also, remember, if you want to send us emails,
31:50
please become a clay In Buck VIP. You go to Clayndbuck
31:53
dot com. You can sign up the a VIP. There you got
31:55
the special email address. John
31:58
is among our VIPs. He writes Buck. I
32:00
appreciate you, man, and thank you for what you do.
32:02
In the spirit of being factual, I want to point out
32:04
that Israel was an invited guest to Egypt
32:06
Genesis forty five, ten through eleven and seventeen
32:08
to eighteen. I agree mankind has
32:11
engaged in slavery throughout history and
32:13
lamb grabbing, and this was true with
32:15
Egypt and slaving Israel, who originally their guest. Yes,
32:18
John, you are correct. I was just kind of mid
32:20
rant and being first they were
32:22
brought in and then they were enslaved, but they
32:24
didn't stay as invited guests.
32:26
They were enslaved. And now there's the people.
32:29
You know, there's all this back and forth over
32:31
the archaeological record, as to you
32:33
know, were they really enslaved, how long were
32:35
they enslaved?
32:36
Were they there?
32:37
And you know, biblical archaeology is way
32:39
beyond my uh
32:41
uh, you know, knowledge and understanding. I'll
32:43
just say, but yes, you are correct on that one.
32:45
So I wanted to correct the record. You've
32:48
got, you got one. I just think it's funny marking
32:50
at me. Well, that's so serious.
32:53
And then we also have come
32:56
on, guys, this from Jeff the
32:58
Beatlestone zepp in rock.
33:01
All the greats were in the sixties and seventies,
33:03
far better music than the nineties. Now, I
33:06
knew we were gonna get a bunch of this, and we did. From
33:08
sixties and seventies rock.
33:10
Guy.
33:11
My point is
33:13
the range of music, if you think
33:15
about it, there was elite
33:18
new rock music being released, elite
33:21
new rap
33:23
music being released, elite
33:26
new country music being released,
33:28
all in the nineteen nineties. The
33:30
range of music that
33:33
was crescendoing, peaking,
33:36
to me felt like the nineties.
33:38
And I'll make an argument here, buck. I was reading over the weekend.
33:40
You know, it's a twenty fifth anniversary of the Matrix movie,
33:42
the original Mattress, one of the great movies out
33:44
there. I think one of the that's one of my ten. I
33:47
say it's one of my ten favorite movies of all time. Definitely
33:49
one of the top ten action good and sci fi movies
33:51
of all time.
33:52
It's amazing.
33:52
You know what they say in that movie. Remember
33:55
they it's actually the year twenty
33:58
one to ninety nine, but
34:00
they said that our society,
34:02
humanity peaked in nineteen ninety
34:04
nine. So that was why they
34:07
said it there, because people were the happiest
34:10
and so and again go back and watch the
34:12
Matrix pot My
34:15
question in terms of advancement
34:17
and happiness and everything else. You know, right around two
34:19
thousand, you had cell phones, you
34:21
had computers, you had you know, obviously
34:24
antibiotics, advanced medicine. Uh,
34:27
you know, yeah, a lot of a lot of creature
34:29
comforts, a lot of good things going for us. But before
34:32
social media, before some
34:34
of these things that have taken over our lives.
34:36
I asked my kids this stuff
34:38
now, and
34:40
they're young, so they haven't lived through a lot.
34:42
But I'll make the argument, old man dad, that
34:44
I am what is better
34:47
today?
34:48
That wasn't just as good in the late
34:51
nineties. What
34:53
is better today?
34:54
Now?
34:54
You can say, like self, I have a couple of answers
34:56
for this.
34:57
Okay, what would you say? What would
34:59
your argument be? What is better today than the late
35:01
nineties. It'd be interesting to put this out
35:03
there for all of you as well. What do you think
35:05
is better today than the late nineties in
35:08
terms of stuff? Okay, we're not telling you. In terms
35:10
of the things in our lives. I
35:12
would say food has gotten
35:14
a lot. I remember when I used to drive. My
35:17
family would drive from New York to Charlottesville
35:19
forevery for every Fourth of July and every Thanksgiving
35:21
to see my family that lived in Charlottesville, Virginia, my
35:24
dad's mom, my dad's brother.
35:25
Uh.
35:26
And you know, catching
35:28
good food along the way not so easy.
35:31
You know, there weren't that many good places. That's an
35:33
interesting argument. Nobody's ever made that argument.
35:36
Food has gotten better in more places
35:39
than you know. If you go back, like
35:41
early nineties, there was a lot of
35:43
garbage food, a lot of bad food
35:45
in places. Food has improved dramatically.
35:48
You can get great food pretty much
35:51
anywhere in America now, with like very few
35:53
exceptions within a ten or fifteen mins.
35:55
I would never have thought food would be the argument
35:57
for what's better than in the nineties.
35:59
But that's interesting. So food is one. Is there anything
36:01
else?
36:01
Like?
36:01
What else would you I ninety
36:04
five percent of my shopping is done online.
36:06
I spend no time in stores, no
36:08
time trying on jeans because I hate jeans,
36:11
stuff like that. But I would argue, late
36:13
nineties you had that. It's just gotten
36:16
better. Like the speed of the internet
36:18
is better. The only
36:20
thing I can think of. Taxi
36:22
service is far better. They think
36:25
about that in American life, Compared
36:27
to the late nineties, it was hard unless you live
36:29
in like New York City to get a taxi
36:31
cab. The Uber universe is
36:33
far better. Transportation, I would argue
36:35
in that respect is better. But what
36:38
I'm actually fascinated by what you guys
36:40
would say is actually
36:43
better. I don't know
36:45
that there's very much that's better. Just
36:49
think about it, because the overall, you
36:51
know, American happy index has collapsed
36:53
since the early two thousand twat
