BUCK: Joe Biden did just address the nation about the horrific terrorist attack in Buffalo, and I was able to read some of the transcript and read some of it as it was happening on the screen. We pulled some of the more important moments of that, which obviously it was mostly about — and this is the part that we all are completely in solidarity and agreement on. It’s mostly about being there with the community to show solidarity with and support to and grieve with the families of the fallen, those killed by this maniac.

But Biden also… So that’s just where we are. As a country, we’re in mourning right now because of what happened in Buffalo. Biden also discussed, though, what he thinks needs to happen now — the actions, if you will, that are suggested here — and I’ll just say, there are a few things, Clay, that really stuck out to me. One is this talk from the Biden administration about white supremacy and how this actually is discussed and what the realities of white supremacy in America may be. This was from the speech just a few moments ago from Joe Biden in Buffalo.

BUCK: Okay. So that’s the point I want to make: “Silence is complicity.” First of all, the conservative movement, the Republican Party, white supremacy is vile and evil and wrong, and we all know it. White supremacy in the context of the racist belief that some people in this case white people are better than other people by virtue of skin color. That’s illogical, immoral, and absurd theorem and it can be also very devastating and violent when put into practice. The problem comes in, Clay, with how the left actually defines white supremacy.

And this is where things become more — this is where things become much more — politicized, ’cause we can all agree on white supremacy. I mean, if it’s somebody with, you know, with swastika tattoos, the shaved head, that’s neo-Nazis, for example, what we think of white supremacists. This is from the New York Times, okay. This is from the New York Times just a couple years ago. “White supremacy once meant David Duke and the Klan. Now it refers to much more.

“The phrase has poured into the nation’s rhetorical bloodstream. Organizations from the NFL to art museums to colleges requiring the SAT are accused of perpetuating it.” So I want everyone to see the rhetorical trick here. They say, “We must all stand against white supremacy.” Clay, of course we stand against white supremacy. But then they also expand the definition of “white supremacy” simultaneously to be a college that requires the SAT! This is in the New York Times, and this is where the political effort comes into play.

CLAY: “Racism” didn’t poll well enough for Democrats anymore, and so they tried to label everything as “white supremacy.” And the reality is if white supremacy truly existed in an epidemic fashion in the United States, we would deal with, for instance, not fair elections. Because if white people truly said, “Only white people should get elected then only white people would get elected for every office of all time.” The truth of the matter is this — and this is what I hope a president would say — racism exists.

Racism in general has never been lower than right now in the United States, and the United States is probably the least racist country in the history of the world. Also, all races have racists. This would change the conversation overnight, because right now when we talk about racism we really only talk about racism when it’s white involving black, right? We never talk about any other race. And somebody out there listening — white, black, Asian, Hispanic — understands this.

There are white racists, there are black racists, there are Hispanic racists, there are Asian racists. Every race has elements of racism inside them, and all of it should be soundly and roundly condemned. But we cannot continue, Buck, to make these same treks, and I want to play a cut to make this point. There was no discussion from Joe Biden — he didn’t go to Wisconsin — when what we saw happen in Waukesha.

He didn’t go to New York City after the subway shooting. Both of those were racist black men involved in perpetrating evil in this country. There was no discussion about that on MSNBC. There was no discussion about the responsibility of CNN for those actions like there has been for this situation in Buffalo. And actually, they were asked about this in the White House. Why has Joe Biden never actually found the time to make a trip to Waukesha to talk to all of those horrible victims of a racist attack? And the answer probably not surprisingly to you, not a good one.

CLAY: The answer is because the attacker in Waukesha challenges the argument that only white people can be radicalized by our discussions — if it occurs because of discussions — in media and at large. And it also challenges the idea that only white people can be racist and engage in acts of violence. So Biden doesn’t go there. And you might say, “Well, what’s the significance of that?”

Because when the president travels, all of the media that follows the president wherever he goes writes about what he discusses, and imagine how much different of a national conversation we have if a president just came out and said what I did: All racism is wrong. White, black, Asian, and Hispanic people all can be guilty of racism, and we have to combat it everywhere.

BUCK: The one part of this that doesn’t, I think, get nearly enough attention in the debates overall about how we discuss this nationally, Clay, is the left rejects… You keep saying, for example — and you’re right — any person can be racist against another person.

CLAY: Yes.

BUCK: If you look at a person’s physical appearance, their skin color or there are other things too, but their skin color, for example, and think less of them, you are engaging in racism. It doesn’t matter what your race is, what the other person’s race is. The left openly rejects that.

CLAY: They’re wrong on this.

BUCK: They say that that is not, in fact, the case. They say that black against white racism is not possible because of power imbalance and the power dynamics of history. So it’s important to note that while we can sit here and say we all agree — people listening to this may agree — that it’s possible for any person…

The same way anyone can be, you know, any person of any background can be smart or dumb, good or bad, you know, wise or foolish, any person has the capability of racism in their heart regardless of what the specific social dynamic may be. The left openly… Their official doctrine on this is that is not true. In fact, they go even further, and they will say that black-on-Asian racism, ’cause we’ve talked about here… Remember the whole #StopAAPIHate thing last year?

CLAY: It came out that black people were doing almost all the attacks of Asians.

BUCK: A few weeks of that and everyone was, hold on a second. We have video, and it does not look like a majority of these attackers against Asian-Americans. Yeah, we all know what happened there. There were a lot of attackers caught on video, so there was no question, who were black. And then the left went into this mode of, “Well, black-against-Asian racism in these cases is actually the result of…”

CLAY: White supremacy.

BUCK: White supremacy!

CLAY: Yeah.

BUCK: That was the official explanation. So we have to understand we don’t actually have a universal, foundational agreement upon the concept of racism. The left has changed it. And, Clay, just real quick, this New York Times piece from a couple years ago, I just want to read to some people out there, ’cause Biden is saying if you don’t speak out against white supremacy, you are complicit in a horrific atrocity. Think of the emotional blackmail that’s going on. You’re complicit in a horrific atrocity.

But what is white supremacy? As you and I have said, we’re talking neo-Nazis and racists. Yeah, we stand against them with every fiber of our being. Here’s what the New York Times points out white supremacy now means: “As July 4 and its barbecues arrived this year, the activist and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick declared, ‘We reject your celebration of white supremacy.’

“The movie star Mark Ruffalo said in February that Hollywood had been swimming for a century in ‘a homogeneous culture of white supremacy.’ The director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of New York City’s most prestigious museums [said] that his institution was grounded in white supremacy… the curatorial staff of the Guggenheim decried a work culture suffused in” white supremacy.

Clay, it’s a huge lift. What does this even mean? What are these people even talking about? But the point is white supremacy is now used for anything the left does not like, they will find a tie-in to it, and if you don’t say, “You’re right,” you will go along with this or I agree with you, you’re part of the white supremacy problem.

CLAY: They want to destroy America. And the way to destroy America is to point out, rightly, that white men were involved in creating America. They drafted the Constitution, they drafted the Declaration of Independence, they arrived at colonists on shores populated by people who are already here. And if you can destroy the legitimacy of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin and all of the Founding Fathers who had a wide variety — an expansive background — of ideas about all different sorts of democratic processes, then you can destroy the fabric of this country and tear down all its legitimacy. And that’s when the goal is. That’s truly what the goal is. The Democrat Party basically exists to call everything in America today racist. That’s what they do.
