Former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, makes a surprise phone call to join C&B to discuss the media covering up the Waukesha Christmas parade attack. Is the country waking up to the fact that Big Government socialism doesn't work? Will Biden repeat the Clinton strategy of 1996? Jussie Smollett may go to jail for fake MAGA hate crime. Buck: Should Smollett get three years in prison? Hell, yeah, he should. Absolutely. Why hasn't Biden visited the victims of the Waukesha Christmas parade attack? Psaki: A visit requires too many assets. No one is allowed to talk about the motive of Darrell Brooks Jr.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome to the third hour of The
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Got a smucial surprise
for all of you. We are going to get to
the Jussie small trial in this hour and also the
Hunter Biden getting a big gem and promises of tens
(00:22):
of millions to the Chinese Communist Party Tide businessman. Really
all major business in Chinese tied to the CCP. First,
we have the former Speaker of the House of Representatives
with us now, mister Newt Gingrich new Thanks for calling in. Oh,
I'm delighted. How are you doing. We're doing pretty well here, sir.
Thank You're covering a lot today. One thing we were
(00:42):
going to get to in this hour. We're glad that
you're calling in because we wanted you to give us
your sense of it, your assessment of it. Is how
just last week there was a mass murder, a mass
casualty attack in Waukesha, Wisconsin, at a Christmas parade, and
there's almost no media coverage of it, and there's certainly
(01:03):
no national conversation or ongoing discussion about this threat and
what it indicates for America going forward. Why so different
from other attacks, Sir Well, I think that it's clear.
You had an African American driver who was a convicted convict,
(01:24):
who had been let out on a thousand dollar bill,
who had a history of violence, who had posted on
his website excuse me, had posted on his website both
anti white comments and an essay on how to use
it a vehicle to kill people. Now that totally violates
(01:50):
the news media's narrative, which is that all danger comes
from white nationalists and that all African Americans are victims.
And of course, this guy murderously killed eight innocent people,
wounded forty in a Christmas parade. So you know, it
(02:11):
could have become a gigantic national story except that the
elite media wanted to smother it. And you can tell
part of the smothering is that the vice that the
President of States, who is flying over Wakashaw as of
the last report because he's going to Minnesota, is not
going to stop, is not going to meet with the
(02:31):
families of the dead and the wounded, is not going
to see where where it occurred, because that would draw
national attention to the fact that somebody that all of
the racist versions from the left are wrong. This particular
violent person is African American, his victims are all white.
(02:53):
He had clearly should not have been led out of jail. Well,
if you're a left wing liberal who believes that nobody
ought to be in jail anyway, and you've been part of,
for example, the New York no Bail program where people
just automatically get out, or you've been in San Francisco
you have a communist district attorney who refuses to jail people.
(03:15):
You don't want to be told that there's something dangerous
about letting dangerous people out, and you don't want to
draw the attention to the fact that crime in America
is a lot more complicated than the NBC News version,
and so they just smother it. I mean, they hide
from the American people the truth about what happened. We're
talking to former Speaker of the House, Congressman Knew Gingrich. Congressman,
(03:39):
I know you're a huge student of history, and one
of the great things about history is it allows you
to see beyond what's going on right now in this
moment and look ahead. Are you optimistic about the next
twenty years of America based on your looking at the
way things have moved historically, or are you pessimist? Well,
(04:01):
I just published a book called Beyond Biden to make
the point that, in fact, we're going to get past this.
I mean, you have a president who falls asleep at
international conferences. You have a vice president who's so goofy
that there's a website that actually has ten hours of
her laughing. I mean, think about that one for a minute.
And I've told people I feel more comfortable with Biden
(04:23):
sleeping than with Harris laughing, you know. And that's your
national leadership team. And then you've got a system which
is going to I think, basically destroy itself. I mean
somewhere between a million four hundred thousand independent I mean
illegal people crossing the border with no check for COVID
or for criminal records, massive inflation, high cost of energy,
(04:49):
regulatory obstruction of the entire economy, and an infrastructure crisis
where there are I think ninety ships offshore from Long
Beach in Los Angeles who cannot get in to be unloaded.
An inability to competently withdraw from Afghanistan without getting young
Americans killed and without leaving behind several hundred Americans and
(05:12):
several thousand Allies just go down the list. This is
not a system which is going to get reelected by
the American people. We're getting to see what big government
socialism is like. It does not work, and we need
to recognize that it does not work. And I think
that's going to be a major theme for the next
(05:33):
year is you know that it ain't working. And you
can ask your audience how many different things do they
encounter every week where it's just clearly ain't working. We're
speaking a former Speaker of the House, Nut Gingrich. He's
got a new book out Beyond Biden, Rebuilding the America
We Love and Nude. I want to know how do
we do the rebuilding part? Clay and I do a
(05:53):
pretty good job here of pounding the drama overall, because
it's not hard to point out the things right. You
just got to make sure you dive into it and
approach the failures the Biden administration with rationality. But how
do we rebuild? What? What does the upside look like? Essentially,
what is your case for American optimism in the face
of what feels like an already failed Biden regime? Well,
(06:17):
I mean, first of all, you'd have to win by
a decisive margin the two twenty two and two and
twenty four elections. But if you do that, if you
go out and put your shoulder to it, we're gonna win.
We're gonna win big because people are going to repudiate
this to the current team. And then, for the first
time since nineteen ninety four, I think we do need
(06:37):
a contract with America. I think we need big, positive,
good things the people nod and say, yeah, that's what
I want, and I think that that can be developed.
I personally believe we ought to go back to balancing
the budget. When I was Speaker, we balanced the federal
budget for four times, the only time in your lifetime
they've had four consecutive balanced budgets. We weren't talking about
(06:58):
raising the death ceiling. We were paid off the debt.
And it's very valuable to go to a balanced budget
because it forces you to make choices, It forces you
to root out corruption and inefficiency, and it forces you
to rethink what you're doing. And when we did it,
it was very effective. We reformed welfare and returned to
a work ethic. And remember, you're you're dealing right now
(07:24):
with an administration which is repealing all of the work
requirements that President Clinton and I put in in the
nineteen nineties, which were enormously effective. It's not good to
give people money to stay at home if they're capable
of going to work. It undermines them. By the way,
this is something which President Franklin D. Roosevelt talked about
(07:46):
in a State of the Union in nineteen thirty five,
and he said, you know, welfare, if you stay at
home and it undermines your character, it weakens you and
morally and spiritually, and that it's very dangerous. We're talking
to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich here with us.
(08:06):
His new book is Beyond Biden, Rebuilding the America We Love.
You mentioned the welfare reform that you and President Clinton
helped to pass. That was after a shell lacking that
President Clinton got in nineteen ninety four. I agree with
you that Biden and the Democratic Party is likely to
get a real whipping in twenty twenty two based on
(08:28):
what you know of Clinton. You know what happened. Clinton
brought in Dick Morris, He triangulated. He basically started to
take Republican ideas, and that allowed him to get reelected
in nineteen ninety six. Is Joe Biden adroit enough politically
to a just like Bill Clinton did in nineteen ninety
four after the whipping he's likely to get in twenty
(08:49):
twenty two, or is he going to continue to try
to pursue the same failed policies in your mind, in
other words, could history repeat itself? Does Biden have the
political talents that Bill Clinton had post nineteen ninety four?
You know, I honestly don't know. The left is much
stronger today than it was in nineteen ninety four, and
(09:10):
the left is much more The left became very bitter
about the Clintons and felt that they'd sold them out.
When when when Clinton agreed to sign welfare reform, I
agreed to sign a capital gains tax, that he agreed
to sign a balance budget. From the standpoint of the
big government socialist left, that was horrible, and that was
(09:30):
a betrayal of the true faith, and they never forgave
him or Hillary for it. That bothered him vastly more
than any kind of scandal, because it was a violation
of their core religious beliefs in big government and in
taking money away from everybody and running it through bureaucracies.
So whether or not Biden would be would have the
(09:52):
personal strength to do it, whether or not the team
he's assembled would allow him to do it. Remember the
when when we won by June or so of nineteen
ninety five, Clinton's team wanted him to move to the left,
and he said to them, if I do that, I'll
get beaten. In nineteen ninety six, I've got to move
(10:13):
towards Gingwich And that's why we ended up and one
of the most striking moments of my career, hosting the
President for the State of the Union and having Bill
Clinton say the era of big government is over. I mean,
you know, he had to give him a standing ovation.
What are you gonna do? You're sitting right behind him,
So I found myself applauding this liberal Democrat who had
(10:35):
just repudiated the entire left wing of his party. Whether
or not Biden would be capable of that, and frankly,
whether or not he has the energy. Remember Clinton was
a young man, he had a ton of energy. He
was very smart and very flexible. Biden's not as smart
as Clinton. He's not as flexible as Clinton. And I'm
not sure that at the age he will be by
(10:58):
two twenty four that he will have the physical energy
to undertake that kind of a change. Speak of the House,
Newt Gang Rich every former, Speak of the House, new Ganngrish. Sir,

him back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show been a
lot of serious trials that everybody's been following, Buck the
Arbory case down in Georgia, Brittenhouse up in Wisconsin, Great
(13:11):
state of Illinois. Chicago has got another trial that has begun.
By the way, I haven't even hardly talked about all
of the Epstein related stuff. We need to get into
that later this week. And what's going on with that
trial of just how you pronounce her first name Jesse, No,
not Jesse, Ja Lin Maxwell or whatever. I'm sorry, Glon Maxwell.
(13:34):
We'll get into that later. But our boy, Jesse Smallett,
huge superstar of the Empire television show. He is on
trial now, finally several years after his fake race crime.
And uh, this is from guy Benson who had put
this together. You texted it to me during our last
(13:55):
break and I just, I mean, I was having a
drink and I literally, you know, every now and then
you read something so funny and you just spit your
drink out, literally a spittake. That's what I did on
this Jesse Smallett. Okay, not only did they have the
fake hate crime staged, they did a rehearsal of the
(14:15):
fake hate crime. Here is what Jesse Smalleett said and
part of it's on video. Not even just the fake
hate crime is on video. The rehearsal of the fake
hate crime is partly on video. Jesse Smallett said, I
want you to attack me, but when you hit me,
I want you to kind of pull your punches a
(14:36):
bit because I don't want to be seriously hurt. Smallett
also instructed them to put a rope around his neck.
These are his accused attackers to quote, make it look
more like a lynching like a hate crime. The three
men he had two attackers, went on a dry run
before the attack, part of which was captured on surveillance camera.
(14:59):
Small mercedes can be seen circling the intersection, showing the
brothers the area where he wanted the attack to occur. Buck,
I want this guy to get hit with the full
force of American justice. I would be perfectly fine if
he went to prison for the rest of his life
for what he tried to do with this fake racism attack.
(15:24):
Can I just say, you have to remember everybody. You
have to remember that even after he was caught, just
just for a little trip to remember Lane, even after
the video of the two actor brothers buying the rope,
and even after the whole thing fell apart. Jesse had
the gall to call upon his friend Kim Fox the
(15:47):
Das to not only dismiss the case, but tried to
lock down the case. And then Jesse walked out of
that courtroom sanctimonious about how he was unfairly accused. So
should Jesse small At get the three three years I
think he faces in prison. Hell yeah, he should. Absolutely.
(16:12):
There were blue checks Clay when this was going on.
Who were coming at me from all over the place.
How do you not believe Jesse? It's so racist not
to believe Jesse. People are such idiots because they want
to believe the narrative because they've been told the narrative
for racism is so much more extensive than the actual
(16:36):
existence of racism, at least overt like this. I think
hip in mind what Jesse Smallett was trying to do.
He was trying to advance his own career by making
himself a victim of the highest magnitude imaginable. That's how
much being a victim pays in this country. That's what
he was trying to do. And Buck that's why I
(16:57):
think he should have to spend the rest of his
life and Risen. I understand there are people out there
who were going to say, oh, this is not that
significant of a crime. In general, I disagree. I think
when you consider what he was trying to do, he
was trying to divide all of us based on racial
identity politics. He was trying to make himself a victim.
(17:17):
He was trying to basically say every Trump supporter is
a racist, not only a racist, the kind of person
who would show up and try to lynch modern day
someone like him. I don't think there is a punishment
significant enough for him behind bars. The idea that he
would not go to jail at all is to me crazy.
(17:40):
It has to happen, and I don't think there's a
punishment that's too consequential that he should face. Certainly there
should be financial punishment, he should have to pay for
this entire investigation that took place. But Buck, I think
they should walk him up and throw away the key.
I believe he should go away for a long time.
He looks like he might an Keeping our pets healthy

back to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. If you
misstar interview with Adam Carolla earlier on, please go check
out the podcast. You can also go to Clay Enbuck
(19:05):
dot com for transcripts of the interview and news stories
we've talked about today. We told you we'd be talking
Hunter Biden, which it's always you know, it's always interesting.
I will say that some of these Hunter Biden stories,
you read about them and you feel like if led
Zeppelin were asked, I'd be like, I think he went
a little overbold, you know, like I think he went
(19:26):
a bit too crazy because he's done so he's led
a while. Hunter Biden's led up kind of wildlife, that's
for sure. But he is also somebody who has access
to a tremendous amount of influence and power because of
who is Daddy is. We all know this, right, This
is just the reality of Hunter Biden's life in recent years.
And now there is an effort at least at shedding
(19:50):
some light on this one, led by, among others, but
led by Miranda Divine of The New York Post. And
she has this book. It is actually Laptop from Hell.
By the way, I thought, maybe I was like, is
that really that? That is the Top from Hell. So
we'll invite her aunt so she can tell us about
the book. But media helped hide the real Joe Biden
by censoring stories about this. Here here are some of
(20:13):
the some of the details, as it were, about this
whole situation. Hunter was having meetings and you gotta get
really deep into this stuff. There's a lot of names,
a lot of different people and players. The short version, right,
and Clay phill In if I'm missing anything here as
we go, But the short version of it is Hunter
was having meetings with a very powerful and highly you
(20:36):
can't be a powerful Chinese businessman without being effectively in
arm of the Chinese Communist Party. And in fact, this
guy in particular that Hunter was meeting with is accused
of being or I should say accused, but is allegedly
a part of Chairman She's Belt and Road Initiative and
essentially the economic arm of the Chinese Communist Party working
(20:59):
around the world to expand their influence. But the story
here is that a Chinese, this Chinese titan, lavished a
three carrot gem and a promise of thirty million dollars
on Hunter Biden so that he would give access and
(21:20):
Ye gen Ming is the name of this Chinese fellows
that he would grant access to. Well, of course, Joe Biden.
Now here's here's just the part of this that I
wanted to get you. For a second, I remember and
Clay you probably remember this. When they were the Washington
Post was doing actual stories on the emoluments clause violations
(21:43):
that maybe Trump was engaged in. First of all, who
the heck knew with the emoluments clause really was before
Trump came. I'm just saying. I'm not saying, you know,
the ignorance is bliss on this stuff, but you know,
the emoluments clause all of a sudden was a phrase
we're all hearing because of drinks and cheeseburgers that foreign
diplomats in the aggregate we're buying at the Trump hotel.
(22:03):
I'm not kidding, folks. They acted like that was buying influence.
Foreign diplomats going to a restaurant that Trump owned an
interest in, as if they're like, I am ordering the
cheeseburger and I want you to sign the treaty, and
Trump is like, sir, yes, sir, absolutely, at your two
dollars in my podcast has won the day. Wait a second,
(22:24):
you're getting the burnet sauce on the side. Out of course,
I will take you off the banned list for international trade. Anyway,
it was crazy, right they would run those stories, and
they constantly talked about Trump corruption all these different probes.
Hunter Biden is running around basically offering up to our
biggest adversary, access to the top policymaker circles. We're talking
(22:47):
about tens of millions of dollars allegedly in the balance here,
possibly changing hands and clay. The media has no interest, none,
none at all. And the way that I would approach
this is, first of all, Hunter Biden has no tangible
skills other than being potentially really good I think you
could pack a bull. I was gonna say, potentially being
(23:08):
really good at purchasing drugs and hookers, all right. Other
than that, I've not seen anything that Hunter Biden does
particularly well. All right. So this idea that the Trump
children who were under attack, Avanca, Don Junior, Eric Trump,
the in laws, the entire Trump family was under a
(23:32):
microscope over every single move that they made from a
business perspective, despite the fact that the Trump's had a
successful business operation long before Donald Trump ever got involved
in politics. They had created and built and running a
successful business predicated on his brand and a variety of
(23:53):
different real estate properties. So the biggest flaw, and by
the way, whether you loved or hated him, Jared Kushner
was doing the same thing. In other words, the people
who were successful in the Trump White House on a
high level. From a business perspective, we're successful long before
Donald Trump Junior, or Donald Trump Senior or anybody in
(24:14):
the White House ever got involved in politics at all. Right,
so if the Trumps, what don't you think about this,
how would the media have covered it? Let's use Donald
Trump junior, good dude, How would the media have covered it?
If Donald Trump Junior there were emails and photos and
documents that proved, like with zero doubt, irreconcilable proof, that
(24:38):
he had been meeting with top Chinese advocates and what
was going on here is significant that he was going
to act to advance Chinese interest in exchange for tens
of millions of dollars, and there had been a three
carrot jewel worth eighty thousand dollars given to him. This
would be covered in cruciating detail. Not only that there
(25:02):
would be congressional hearings, there would be congressional investigations. I
predict that the Trumps would have ended up being charged
with crimes. Right now, nothing has happened to Hunter Biden
at all. Everything that the media told you about the Trumps,
the Bidens actually did. Democrats are expected now they expect
to get rich in politics, not yet for and not
(25:24):
even after. They expect that their political access will effectively
make them rich the promise of future political access. Well,
I mean, the best example of this other than Hunter
Bideners you're talking about is the Clinton the Clinton Global
Initiative and the Clinton Foundation. What happened? Did you ever
even hear about the Clinton Foundation anymore? I thought they
wanted to address, you know, women's rights issues and climate
(25:48):
change in global these very sort of vague, amorphous concepts.
It was basically a money laundering operation for paying Bill
eight hundred thousand dollars a speech, which, by the way,
he did get from a Russian bank at one point
eight hundred grand for a speech, but better be a
hell of a speech that what's up? I'll do that for.
I was gonna say, oh, I'll do anyone out there
(26:08):
for your like you a local rotary club or whatever.
I'll do a big discount on the eight hundred k speech,
I promise you that. But the media all acted like
they were so And this is when I was actually
at CNN, believe it or not, and I would go
on and trash the Clintons, which was fun this is
when CNN started to hate me um as soon as
I got away from terrorism analysis and started doing politics. Right,
(26:28):
But I would say, does anyone really think that these
these donations, especially from the foreign countries to the Clinton
Foundation are going to continue if she loses? And and
you know, and doesn't that prove that this isn't really
about charity? And they're all going, literally, middle it's charity.
Why do you hate charity? And I'm like, no, no, no no,
(26:50):
let's look at this for a second. Of course, Clay,
they had to shut down the Clinton Global initia of
the CGI within like six months or something of Hillary losing.
It was a money laundering were access scheme. That was
the whole point. And they didn't care. And they don't
care with Hunter Biden either because it's their team, folks.
That's all that matters to do do well. And I will
say this, one of the reasons that I think Donald
(27:10):
Trump's political campaign had such appeal in twenty sixteen and
carried forward into twenty twenty was the idea that he
was already rich. We've seen so many people, to be
fair Democrats and Republicans who came into office with no
assets somehow get fabulously wealthy by the time they left,
and we all know on some level that they were
(27:32):
selling access to their positions of power. That was why
a lot of people like the idea of Trump. This
is a guy who's already independently wealthy. He's not trying
to get into political office to make money. He's already there.
And when we come back, by the way, we got
to talk about our boy, Ron de Santiss going off
on the media over what's gone on in Waukesha. We're
(27:54):
not letting this story disappear. But first incredible offer from

slash buck see site for details. We'll walk back in
a Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We are not going
to let the attack in Waukeshaw, Wisconsin disappear from memory,
unlike a lot of people at CNN, MSNBC, New York Times,
Washington posts. We're also not going to blame the vehicle
(29:20):
for what it did, considering it was being driven by
a man named Daryl Brooks who appeared to have a
clear intent to try to kill as many people as possible,
potentially at least based on his posts on Facebook and
other social media sites, predicated on the race of his victims,
because he was angry over what happened with Kyle Rittenhouse
not far away in the Kenosha courtroom. Now, Joe Biden
(29:44):
has an opportunity, maybe even an obligation, as the American President,
to travel to this site of this terror attack, six
people killed, fifty wounded, many still recovering, and lend the
support of the United States in a time of tragedy
to the victims of this Walkershaw attack. He hasn't done so.
(30:05):
In fact, he's flown right over the top of Walkershaw
to go to other places. Jinsaki was asked by Peter Doocey,
why is that actually occurring inside of the press briefing,
And this is what she said, Why hasn't the President
visited the members of this Christmas parade attack? Well, I
would say, first, as you saw the President convey last week,
(30:27):
our hearts go out to this community, to the people
in Wakashaw that We've been in touch obviously with officials
there and we're all watching as people are recovering. And
this is such a difficult time of year for this
to happen. It's a difficult anytime. Obviously, any president going
to visit a community requires a lot of assets, requires
taking their resources, and it's not something that I have
(30:49):
a trip previewed at this plant point in time. But
we remain in touch with local officials, and certainly our
hearts are with the community as they've gone through such
a difficult time. Yeah, we're not all idiots. He's not
going because Biden sees no political advantage in it period.
That's why he's not going. Obviously the President of the
United States flying over the site. Mind you, he's already
(31:12):
in the region. It would not be hard. Pretty sure
we have this fancy taxpayer funded plane for him in
a pretty large practorian guard known as the Secret Service,
to keep him safe. I'm not concerned about any of
that neither. Should he be right? He could get there easily.
Why isn't he going? They don't want to draw attention
to it. Why don't they want to draw attention to it?
Here's something, How is it possible, Clay that no one
(31:35):
has even raised in the Democrat corporate media motive. You
don't even hear the word? Is this the first? I mean,
people will say, oh, buck, but what about what happened
in Las Vegas. Everybody was speculating about motive for weeks
and that's not the thing that shuts down my argument.
No, no no, my argument is you can't even talk about motive.
There is no motive apparently for a mass murder of
(31:56):
elderly people and children in a parade for Christmas. That's
complete madness. But you know, with Las Vegas, it was
could it be? This? Could it be? That? Could it be? This?
Could everybody was getting in on the motive analysis side
of it in the media. No one even talks about
it here, Clay, because we know what the motive actually is,
we're just not allowed to say it. Well, we say it.
(32:17):
But although it was a racial attack, it appears, and
Joe Biden didn't wait for the evidence to come out.
When it was Kyle Rittenhouse, he branded him a white
supremacist and said that his actions were founded in racism.
That's what he said, that's what he did, that's what
his campaign advertised. And so this idea that he can't
show up in walk Ashaw, it's because it's an inconvenient truth.
(32:39):
The facts don't fit the narrative. If this had been, unfortunately,
a crazed white person who had killed a number of minorities,
Joe Biden would have been there the day after it happened,
attending a press conference and demanding a hate crime investigation.
Almost no one is willing to even raise this as
an issue. We talked about this yesterday, Buck and Rhonda
(33:00):
Santis after our show aired, I believe actually came out
and said what almost no one else is willing to acknowledge,
which is, this appears to have been a crime by
a crazy person, a granted that was motivated by racial animus.
Listen to this sale, this was a big accident. You
never actually hear the discussion about who committed this, what
(33:22):
was the motivation. This was an intentional act, and it
seems like, you know, for corporate press, they're more apt
to characterize a parent who goes to a school board
meeting to protest bad policies as a domestic terrorist than
somebody who intentionally rams an suv into a crowd of
innocent people. And we'll see what the actual motivation was.
(33:44):
It very well may have been in response to what
happened with Kyle Rittenhouse, and you have to wonder if
that's the case. Almost suredly, this guy's view of Rittenhouse
was colored by all these media lies. Let's just be clear.
They are not wanting to cover this was constant thing
for what it is. They are not wanting the facts
to come out the way they are because the facts
(34:05):
do not support their narrative. I mean, this gives you
a sense of how powerful the apparatus of the left
and the Democrat Party really is. When this, this is
exactly as I thought it would be, This is playing
out as expected. They do they do this, we don't know,
wait till the facts come in. They lock it down.
(34:26):
Anyone who strays ahead of what have been the agreed
upon facts. In the first twenty four hours, they attack ruthlessly.
You're being reckless. You don't know what you're saying, right,
so you risk that if you come out and say, well,
this looks like the following. So for forty eight hours
it's hold on, we don't know, we don't know. Wait,
and then after that it's well, it was an suv
(34:47):
that went into a crowd. It was a car, it
was a tragedy, it was something that occurred that we're
all very sad about. And they shift the conversation towards
sorrow and grief and a neutralize the discussion about who
did this, why did he do it? What does it
tell us about the country we live in? What does
it tell us about the media coverage of specifically the
(35:10):
Written House trial, but more generally race relations in this country.
What are the broader topics we could have a conversation
about in the aftermath of an incident like this, All
of it, there's no national conversation. All of that is
shut down. It's exactly this is the left wing playbook
when it doesn't fit the narrative. And that's what they've done,
they memory holing. And this is significant because one of
(35:32):
the big powers of CNN and MSNBC in Washington Post,
New York Times are the facts and the stories that
they choose to share with their audience. And you know
as well as I do, that if this had been
a white guy driving a car mowing through a crowd
of minorities with the exact same statements on his social
(35:53):
media profiles, just changing the race, this would have been
a multi day still be talking about it over a
week later. Every Republican would be forced to condemn this guy.
Everyone would have to acknowledge that white supremacy is a
major threat in this country. Yet, when the identities are shifted,
(36:13):
and when it is a black man who is making
white people his victims, intentionally driving over them, young kids,
older people in a Christmas parade. We have to pretend
that there is no motivation whatsoever for this individual. Look,
if you want to pretend that every individual is responsible
(36:34):
for their actions and race doesn't impact anything, that's fine
with me. But the standards have to be applied evenly
in all cases, and we just saw them not applied
evenly in Kyle the Kyle Rittenhouse case. And we know
what would happen in this situation if the races were
different
Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome to the third hour of The
Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Got a smucial surprise
for all of you. We are going to get to
the Jussie small trial in this hour and also the
Hunter Biden getting a big gem and promises of tens
(00:22):
of millions to the Chinese Communist Party Tide businessman. Really
all major business in Chinese tied to the CCP. First,
we have the former Speaker of the House of Representatives
with us now, mister Newt Gingrich new Thanks for calling in. Oh,
I'm delighted. How are you doing. We're doing pretty well here, sir.
Thank You're covering a lot today. One thing we were
(00:42):
going to get to in this hour. We're glad that
you're calling in because we wanted you to give us
your sense of it, your assessment of it. Is how
just last week there was a mass murder, a mass
casualty attack in Waukesha, Wisconsin, at a Christmas parade, and
there's almost no media coverage of it, and there's certainly
(01:03):
no national conversation or ongoing discussion about this threat and
what it indicates for America going forward. Why so different
from other attacks, Sir Well, I think that it's clear.
You had an African American driver who was a convicted convict,
(01:24):
who had been let out on a thousand dollar bill,
who had a history of violence, who had posted on
his website excuse me, had posted on his website both
anti white comments and an essay on how to use
it a vehicle to kill people. Now that totally violates
(01:50):
the news media's narrative, which is that all danger comes
from white nationalists and that all African Americans are victims.
And of course, this guy murderously killed eight innocent people,
wounded forty in a Christmas parade. So you know, it
(02:11):
could have become a gigantic national story except that the
elite media wanted to smother it. And you can tell
part of the smothering is that the vice that the
President of States, who is flying over Wakashaw as of
the last report because he's going to Minnesota, is not
going to stop, is not going to meet with the
(02:31):
families of the dead and the wounded, is not going
to see where where it occurred, because that would draw
national attention to the fact that somebody that all of
the racist versions from the left are wrong. This particular
violent person is African American, his victims are all white.
(02:53):
He had clearly should not have been led out of jail. Well,
if you're a left wing liberal who believes that nobody
ought to be in jail anyway, and you've been part of,
for example, the New York no Bail program where people
just automatically get out, or you've been in San Francisco
you have a communist district attorney who refuses to jail people.
(03:15):
You don't want to be told that there's something dangerous
about letting dangerous people out, and you don't want to
draw the attention to the fact that crime in America
is a lot more complicated than the NBC News version,
and so they just smother it. I mean, they hide
from the American people the truth about what happened. We're
talking to former Speaker of the House, Congressman Knew Gingrich. Congressman,
(03:39):
I know you're a huge student of history, and one
of the great things about history is it allows you
to see beyond what's going on right now in this
moment and look ahead. Are you optimistic about the next
twenty years of America based on your looking at the
way things have moved historically, or are you pessimist? Well,
(04:01):
I just published a book called Beyond Biden to make
the point that, in fact, we're going to get past this.
I mean, you have a president who falls asleep at
international conferences. You have a vice president who's so goofy
that there's a website that actually has ten hours of
her laughing. I mean, think about that one for a minute.
And I've told people I feel more comfortable with Biden
(04:23):
sleeping than with Harris laughing, you know. And that's your
national leadership team. And then you've got a system which
is going to I think, basically destroy itself. I mean
somewhere between a million four hundred thousand independent I mean
illegal people crossing the border with no check for COVID
or for criminal records, massive inflation, high cost of energy,
(04:49):
regulatory obstruction of the entire economy, and an infrastructure crisis
where there are I think ninety ships offshore from Long
Beach in Los Angeles who cannot get in to be unloaded.
An inability to competently withdraw from Afghanistan without getting young
Americans killed and without leaving behind several hundred Americans and
(05:12):
several thousand Allies just go down the list. This is
not a system which is going to get reelected by
the American people. We're getting to see what big government
socialism is like. It does not work, and we need
to recognize that it does not work. And I think
that's going to be a major theme for the next
(05:33):
year is you know that it ain't working. And you
can ask your audience how many different things do they
encounter every week where it's just clearly ain't working. We're
speaking a former Speaker of the House, Nut Gingrich. He's
got a new book out Beyond Biden, Rebuilding the America
We Love and Nude. I want to know how do
we do the rebuilding part? Clay and I do a
(05:53):
pretty good job here of pounding the drama overall, because
it's not hard to point out the things right. You
just got to make sure you dive into it and
approach the failures the Biden administration with rationality. But how
do we rebuild? What? What does the upside look like? Essentially,
what is your case for American optimism in the face
of what feels like an already failed Biden regime? Well,
(06:17):
I mean, first of all, you'd have to win by
a decisive margin the two twenty two and two and
twenty four elections. But if you do that, if you
go out and put your shoulder to it, we're gonna win.
We're gonna win big because people are going to repudiate
this to the current team. And then, for the first
time since nineteen ninety four, I think we do need
(06:37):
a contract with America. I think we need big, positive,
good things the people nod and say, yeah, that's what
I want, and I think that that can be developed.
I personally believe we ought to go back to balancing
the budget. When I was Speaker, we balanced the federal
budget for four times, the only time in your lifetime
they've had four consecutive balanced budgets. We weren't talking about
(06:58):
raising the death ceiling. We were paid off the debt.
And it's very valuable to go to a balanced budget
because it forces you to make choices, It forces you
to root out corruption and inefficiency, and it forces you
to rethink what you're doing. And when we did it,
it was very effective. We reformed welfare and returned to
a work ethic. And remember, you're you're dealing right now
(07:24):
with an administration which is repealing all of the work
requirements that President Clinton and I put in in the
nineteen nineties, which were enormously effective. It's not good to
give people money to stay at home if they're capable
of going to work. It undermines them. By the way,
this is something which President Franklin D. Roosevelt talked about
(07:46):
in a State of the Union in nineteen thirty five,
and he said, you know, welfare, if you stay at
home and it undermines your character, it weakens you and
morally and spiritually, and that it's very dangerous. We're talking
to former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich here with us.
(08:06):
His new book is Beyond Biden, Rebuilding the America We Love.
You mentioned the welfare reform that you and President Clinton
helped to pass. That was after a shell lacking that
President Clinton got in nineteen ninety four. I agree with
you that Biden and the Democratic Party is likely to
get a real whipping in twenty twenty two based on
(08:28):
what you know of Clinton. You know what happened. Clinton
brought in Dick Morris, He triangulated. He basically started to
take Republican ideas, and that allowed him to get reelected
in nineteen ninety six. Is Joe Biden adroit enough politically
to a just like Bill Clinton did in nineteen ninety
four after the whipping he's likely to get in twenty
(08:49):
twenty two, or is he going to continue to try
to pursue the same failed policies in your mind, in
other words, could history repeat itself? Does Biden have the
political talents that Bill Clinton had post nineteen ninety four?
You know, I honestly don't know. The left is much
stronger today than it was in nineteen ninety four, and
(09:10):
the left is much more The left became very bitter
about the Clintons and felt that they'd sold them out.
When when when Clinton agreed to sign welfare reform, I
agreed to sign a capital gains tax, that he agreed
to sign a balance budget. From the standpoint of the
big government socialist left, that was horrible, and that was
(09:30):
a betrayal of the true faith, and they never forgave
him or Hillary for it. That bothered him vastly more
than any kind of scandal, because it was a violation
of their core religious beliefs in big government and in
taking money away from everybody and running it through bureaucracies.
So whether or not Biden would be would have the
(09:52):
personal strength to do it, whether or not the team
he's assembled would allow him to do it. Remember the
when when we won by June or so of nineteen
ninety five, Clinton's team wanted him to move to the left,
and he said to them, if I do that, I'll
get beaten. In nineteen ninety six, I've got to move
(10:13):
towards Gingwich And that's why we ended up and one
of the most striking moments of my career, hosting the
President for the State of the Union and having Bill
Clinton say the era of big government is over. I mean,
you know, he had to give him a standing ovation.
What are you gonna do? You're sitting right behind him,
So I found myself applauding this liberal Democrat who had
(10:35):
just repudiated the entire left wing of his party. Whether
or not Biden would be capable of that, and frankly,
whether or not he has the energy. Remember Clinton was
a young man, he had a ton of energy. He
was very smart and very flexible. Biden's not as smart
as Clinton. He's not as flexible as Clinton. And I'm
not sure that at the age he will be by
(10:58):
two twenty four that he will have the physical energy
to undertake that kind of a change. Speak of the House,
Newt Gang Rich every former, Speak of the House, new Ganngrish. Sir,

him back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show been a
lot of serious trials that everybody's been following, Buck the
Arbory case down in Georgia, Brittenhouse up in Wisconsin, Great
(13:11):
state of Illinois. Chicago has got another trial that has begun.
By the way, I haven't even hardly talked about all
of the Epstein related stuff. We need to get into
that later this week. And what's going on with that
trial of just how you pronounce her first name Jesse, No,
not Jesse, Ja Lin Maxwell or whatever. I'm sorry, Glon Maxwell.
(13:34):
We'll get into that later. But our boy, Jesse Smallett,
huge superstar of the Empire television show. He is on
trial now, finally several years after his fake race crime.
And uh, this is from guy Benson who had put
this together. You texted it to me during our last
(13:55):
break and I just, I mean, I was having a
drink and I literally, you know, every now and then
you read something so funny and you just spit your
drink out, literally a spittake. That's what I did on
this Jesse Smallett. Okay, not only did they have the
fake hate crime staged, they did a rehearsal of the
(14:15):
fake hate crime. Here is what Jesse Smalleett said and
part of it's on video. Not even just the fake
hate crime is on video. The rehearsal of the fake
hate crime is partly on video. Jesse Smallett said, I
want you to attack me, but when you hit me,
I want you to kind of pull your punches a
(14:36):
bit because I don't want to be seriously hurt. Smallett
also instructed them to put a rope around his neck.
These are his accused attackers to quote, make it look
more like a lynching like a hate crime. The three
men he had two attackers, went on a dry run
before the attack, part of which was captured on surveillance camera.
(14:59):
Small mercedes can be seen circling the intersection, showing the
brothers the area where he wanted the attack to occur. Buck,
I want this guy to get hit with the full
force of American justice. I would be perfectly fine if
he went to prison for the rest of his life
for what he tried to do with this fake racism attack.
(15:24):
Can I just say, you have to remember everybody. You
have to remember that even after he was caught, just
just for a little trip to remember Lane, even after
the video of the two actor brothers buying the rope,
and even after the whole thing fell apart. Jesse had
the gall to call upon his friend Kim Fox the
(15:47):
Das to not only dismiss the case, but tried to
lock down the case. And then Jesse walked out of
that courtroom sanctimonious about how he was unfairly accused. So
should Jesse small At get the three three years I
think he faces in prison. Hell yeah, he should. Absolutely.
(16:12):
There were blue checks Clay when this was going on.
Who were coming at me from all over the place.
How do you not believe Jesse? It's so racist not
to believe Jesse. People are such idiots because they want
to believe the narrative because they've been told the narrative
for racism is so much more extensive than the actual
(16:36):
existence of racism, at least overt like this. I think
hip in mind what Jesse Smallett was trying to do.
He was trying to advance his own career by making
himself a victim of the highest magnitude imaginable. That's how
much being a victim pays in this country. That's what
he was trying to do. And Buck that's why I
(16:57):
think he should have to spend the rest of his
life and Risen. I understand there are people out there
who were going to say, oh, this is not that
significant of a crime. In general, I disagree. I think
when you consider what he was trying to do, he
was trying to divide all of us based on racial
identity politics. He was trying to make himself a victim.
(17:17):
He was trying to basically say every Trump supporter is
a racist, not only a racist, the kind of person
who would show up and try to lynch modern day
someone like him. I don't think there is a punishment
significant enough for him behind bars. The idea that he
would not go to jail at all is to me crazy.
(17:40):
It has to happen, and I don't think there's a
punishment that's too consequential that he should face. Certainly there
should be financial punishment, he should have to pay for
this entire investigation that took place. But Buck, I think
they should walk him up and throw away the key.
I believe he should go away for a long time.
He looks like he might an Keeping our pets healthy

back to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. If you
misstar interview with Adam Carolla earlier on, please go check
out the podcast. You can also go to Clay Enbuck
(19:05):
dot com for transcripts of the interview and news stories
we've talked about today. We told you we'd be talking
Hunter Biden, which it's always you know, it's always interesting.
I will say that some of these Hunter Biden stories,
you read about them and you feel like if led
Zeppelin were asked, I'd be like, I think he went
a little overbold, you know, like I think he went
(19:26):
a bit too crazy because he's done so he's led
a while. Hunter Biden's led up kind of wildlife, that's
for sure. But he is also somebody who has access
to a tremendous amount of influence and power because of
who is Daddy is. We all know this, right, This
is just the reality of Hunter Biden's life in recent years.
And now there is an effort at least at shedding
(19:50):
some light on this one, led by, among others, but
led by Miranda Divine of The New York Post. And
she has this book. It is actually Laptop from Hell.
By the way, I thought, maybe I was like, is
that really that? That is the Top from Hell. So
we'll invite her aunt so she can tell us about
the book. But media helped hide the real Joe Biden
by censoring stories about this. Here here are some of
(20:13):
the some of the details, as it were, about this
whole situation. Hunter was having meetings and you gotta get
really deep into this stuff. There's a lot of names,
a lot of different people and players. The short version, right,
and Clay phill In if I'm missing anything here as
we go, But the short version of it is Hunter
was having meetings with a very powerful and highly you
(20:36):
can't be a powerful Chinese businessman without being effectively in
arm of the Chinese Communist Party. And in fact, this
guy in particular that Hunter was meeting with is accused
of being or I should say accused, but is allegedly
a part of Chairman She's Belt and Road Initiative and
essentially the economic arm of the Chinese Communist Party working
(20:59):
around the world to expand their influence. But the story
here is that a Chinese, this Chinese titan, lavished a
three carrot gem and a promise of thirty million dollars
on Hunter Biden so that he would give access and
(21:20):
Ye gen Ming is the name of this Chinese fellows
that he would grant access to. Well, of course, Joe Biden.
Now here's here's just the part of this that I
wanted to get you. For a second, I remember and
Clay you probably remember this. When they were the Washington
Post was doing actual stories on the emoluments clause violations
(21:43):
that maybe Trump was engaged in. First of all, who
the heck knew with the emoluments clause really was before
Trump came. I'm just saying. I'm not saying, you know,
the ignorance is bliss on this stuff, but you know,
the emoluments clause all of a sudden was a phrase
we're all hearing because of drinks and cheeseburgers that foreign
diplomats in the aggregate we're buying at the Trump hotel.
(22:03):
I'm not kidding, folks. They acted like that was buying influence.
Foreign diplomats going to a restaurant that Trump owned an
interest in, as if they're like, I am ordering the
cheeseburger and I want you to sign the treaty, and
Trump is like, sir, yes, sir, absolutely, at your two
dollars in my podcast has won the day. Wait a second,
(22:24):
you're getting the burnet sauce on the side. Out of course,
I will take you off the banned list for international trade. Anyway,
it was crazy, right they would run those stories, and
they constantly talked about Trump corruption all these different probes.
Hunter Biden is running around basically offering up to our
biggest adversary, access to the top policymaker circles. We're talking
(22:47):
about tens of millions of dollars allegedly in the balance here,
possibly changing hands and clay. The media has no interest, none,
none at all. And the way that I would approach
this is, first of all, Hunter Biden has no tangible
skills other than being potentially really good I think you
could pack a bull. I was gonna say, potentially being
(23:08):
really good at purchasing drugs and hookers, all right. Other
than that, I've not seen anything that Hunter Biden does
particularly well. All right. So this idea that the Trump
children who were under attack, Avanca, Don Junior, Eric Trump,
the in laws, the entire Trump family was under a
(23:32):
microscope over every single move that they made from a
business perspective, despite the fact that the Trump's had a
successful business operation long before Donald Trump ever got involved
in politics. They had created and built and running a
successful business predicated on his brand and a variety of
(23:53):
different real estate properties. So the biggest flaw, and by
the way, whether you loved or hated him, Jared Kushner
was doing the same thing. In other words, the people
who were successful in the Trump White House on a
high level. From a business perspective, we're successful long before
Donald Trump Junior, or Donald Trump Senior or anybody in
(24:14):
the White House ever got involved in politics at all. Right,
so if the Trumps, what don't you think about this,
how would the media have covered it? Let's use Donald
Trump junior, good dude, How would the media have covered it?
If Donald Trump Junior there were emails and photos and
documents that proved, like with zero doubt, irreconcilable proof, that
(24:38):
he had been meeting with top Chinese advocates and what
was going on here is significant that he was going
to act to advance Chinese interest in exchange for tens
of millions of dollars, and there had been a three
carrot jewel worth eighty thousand dollars given to him. This
would be covered in cruciating detail. Not only that there
(25:02):
would be congressional hearings, there would be congressional investigations. I
predict that the Trumps would have ended up being charged
with crimes. Right now, nothing has happened to Hunter Biden
at all. Everything that the media told you about the Trumps,
the Bidens actually did. Democrats are expected now they expect
to get rich in politics, not yet for and not
(25:24):
even after. They expect that their political access will effectively
make them rich the promise of future political access. Well,
I mean, the best example of this other than Hunter
Bideners you're talking about is the Clinton the Clinton Global
Initiative and the Clinton Foundation. What happened? Did you ever
even hear about the Clinton Foundation anymore? I thought they
wanted to address, you know, women's rights issues and climate
(25:48):
change in global these very sort of vague, amorphous concepts.
It was basically a money laundering operation for paying Bill
eight hundred thousand dollars a speech, which, by the way,
he did get from a Russian bank at one point
eight hundred grand for a speech, but better be a
hell of a speech that what's up? I'll do that for.
I was gonna say, oh, I'll do anyone out there
(26:08):
for your like you a local rotary club or whatever.
I'll do a big discount on the eight hundred k speech,
I promise you that. But the media all acted like
they were so And this is when I was actually
at CNN, believe it or not, and I would go
on and trash the Clintons, which was fun this is
when CNN started to hate me um as soon as
I got away from terrorism analysis and started doing politics. Right,
(26:28):
But I would say, does anyone really think that these
these donations, especially from the foreign countries to the Clinton
Foundation are going to continue if she loses? And and
you know, and doesn't that prove that this isn't really
about charity? And they're all going, literally, middle it's charity.
Why do you hate charity? And I'm like, no, no, no no,
(26:50):
let's look at this for a second. Of course, Clay,
they had to shut down the Clinton Global initia of
the CGI within like six months or something of Hillary losing.
It was a money laundering were access scheme. That was
the whole point. And they didn't care. And they don't
care with Hunter Biden either because it's their team, folks.
That's all that matters to do do well. And I will
say this, one of the reasons that I think Donald
(27:10):
Trump's political campaign had such appeal in twenty sixteen and
carried forward into twenty twenty was the idea that he
was already rich. We've seen so many people, to be
fair Democrats and Republicans who came into office with no
assets somehow get fabulously wealthy by the time they left,
and we all know on some level that they were
(27:32):
selling access to their positions of power. That was why
a lot of people like the idea of Trump. This
is a guy who's already independently wealthy. He's not trying
to get into political office to make money. He's already there.
And when we come back, by the way, we got
to talk about our boy, Ron de Santiss going off
on the media over what's gone on in Waukesha. We're
(27:54):
not letting this story disappear. But first incredible offer from

(28:56):
slash buck see site for details. We'll walk back in
a Clay Travis buck Sexton show. We are not going
to let the attack in Waukeshaw, Wisconsin disappear from memory,
unlike a lot of people at CNN, MSNBC, New York Times,
Washington posts. We're also not going to blame the vehicle
(29:20):
for what it did, considering it was being driven by
a man named Daryl Brooks who appeared to have a
clear intent to try to kill as many people as possible,
potentially at least based on his posts on Facebook and
other social media sites, predicated on the race of his victims,
because he was angry over what happened with Kyle Rittenhouse
not far away in the Kenosha courtroom. Now, Joe Biden
(29:44):
has an opportunity, maybe even an obligation, as the American President,
to travel to this site of this terror attack, six
people killed, fifty wounded, many still recovering, and lend the
support of the United States in a time of tragedy
to the victims of this Walkershaw attack. He hasn't done so.
(30:05):
In fact, he's flown right over the top of Walkershaw
to go to other places. Jinsaki was asked by Peter Doocey,
why is that actually occurring inside of the press briefing,
And this is what she said, Why hasn't the President
visited the members of this Christmas parade attack? Well, I
would say, first, as you saw the President convey last week,
(30:27):
our hearts go out to this community, to the people
in Wakashaw that We've been in touch obviously with officials
there and we're all watching as people are recovering. And
this is such a difficult time of year for this
to happen. It's a difficult anytime. Obviously, any president going
to visit a community requires a lot of assets, requires
taking their resources, and it's not something that I have
(30:49):
a trip previewed at this plant point in time. But
we remain in touch with local officials, and certainly our
hearts are with the community as they've gone through such
a difficult time. Yeah, we're not all idiots. He's not
going because Biden sees no political advantage in it period.
That's why he's not going. Obviously the President of the
United States flying over the site. Mind you, he's already
(31:12):
in the region. It would not be hard. Pretty sure
we have this fancy taxpayer funded plane for him in
a pretty large practorian guard known as the Secret Service,
to keep him safe. I'm not concerned about any of
that neither. Should he be right? He could get there easily.
Why isn't he going? They don't want to draw attention
to it. Why don't they want to draw attention to it?
Here's something, How is it possible, Clay that no one
(31:35):
has even raised in the Democrat corporate media motive. You
don't even hear the word? Is this the first? I mean,
people will say, oh, buck, but what about what happened
in Las Vegas. Everybody was speculating about motive for weeks
and that's not the thing that shuts down my argument.
No, no no, my argument is you can't even talk about motive.
There is no motive apparently for a mass murder of
(31:56):
elderly people and children in a parade for Christmas. That's
complete madness. But you know, with Las Vegas, it was
could it be? This? Could it be? That? Could it be? This?
Could everybody was getting in on the motive analysis side
of it in the media. No one even talks about
it here, Clay, because we know what the motive actually is,
we're just not allowed to say it. Well, we say it.
(32:17):
But although it was a racial attack, it appears, and
Joe Biden didn't wait for the evidence to come out.
When it was Kyle Rittenhouse, he branded him a white
supremacist and said that his actions were founded in racism.
That's what he said, that's what he did, that's what
his campaign advertised. And so this idea that he can't
show up in walk Ashaw, it's because it's an inconvenient truth.
(32:39):
The facts don't fit the narrative. If this had been, unfortunately,
a crazed white person who had killed a number of minorities,
Joe Biden would have been there the day after it happened,
attending a press conference and demanding a hate crime investigation.
Almost no one is willing to even raise this as
an issue. We talked about this yesterday, Buck and Rhonda
(33:00):
Santis after our show aired, I believe actually came out
and said what almost no one else is willing to acknowledge,
which is, this appears to have been a crime by
a crazy person, a granted that was motivated by racial animus.
Listen to this sale, this was a big accident. You
never actually hear the discussion about who committed this, what
(33:22):
was the motivation. This was an intentional act, and it
seems like, you know, for corporate press, they're more apt
to characterize a parent who goes to a school board
meeting to protest bad policies as a domestic terrorist than
somebody who intentionally rams an suv into a crowd of
innocent people. And we'll see what the actual motivation was.
(33:44):
It very well may have been in response to what
happened with Kyle Rittenhouse, and you have to wonder if
that's the case. Almost suredly, this guy's view of Rittenhouse
was colored by all these media lies. Let's just be clear.
They are not wanting to cover this was constant thing
for what it is. They are not wanting the facts
to come out the way they are because the facts
(34:05):
do not support their narrative. I mean, this gives you
a sense of how powerful the apparatus of the left
and the Democrat Party really is. When this, this is
exactly as I thought it would be, This is playing
out as expected. They do they do this, we don't know,
wait till the facts come in. They lock it down.
(34:26):
Anyone who strays ahead of what have been the agreed
upon facts. In the first twenty four hours, they attack ruthlessly.
You're being reckless. You don't know what you're saying, right,
so you risk that if you come out and say, well,
this looks like the following. So for forty eight hours
it's hold on, we don't know, we don't know. Wait,
and then after that it's well, it was an suv
(34:47):
that went into a crowd. It was a car, it
was a tragedy, it was something that occurred that we're
all very sad about. And they shift the conversation towards
sorrow and grief and a neutralize the discussion about who
did this, why did he do it? What does it
tell us about the country we live in? What does
it tell us about the media coverage of specifically the
(35:10):
Written House trial, but more generally race relations in this country.
What are the broader topics we could have a conversation
about in the aftermath of an incident like this, All
of it, there's no national conversation. All of that is
shut down. It's exactly this is the left wing playbook
when it doesn't fit the narrative. And that's what they've done,
they memory holing. And this is significant because one of
(35:32):
the big powers of CNN and MSNBC in Washington Post,
New York Times are the facts and the stories that
they choose to share with their audience. And you know
as well as I do, that if this had been
a white guy driving a car mowing through a crowd
of minorities with the exact same statements on his social
(35:53):
media profiles, just changing the race, this would have been
a multi day still be talking about it over a
week later. Every Republican would be forced to condemn this guy.
Everyone would have to acknowledge that white supremacy is a
major threat in this country. Yet, when the identities are shifted,
(36:13):
and when it is a black man who is making
white people his victims, intentionally driving over them, young kids,
older people in a Christmas parade. We have to pretend
that there is no motivation whatsoever for this individual. Look,
if you want to pretend that every individual is responsible
(36:34):
for their actions and race doesn't impact anything, that's fine
with me. But the standards have to be applied evenly
in all cases, and we just saw them not applied
evenly in Kyle the Kyle Rittenhouse case. And we know
what would happen in this situation if the races were
different
