Everybody, Welcome to the Monday edition of 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Forty two days 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: count them until election Day, November eighth. My friends, it 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,639 Speaker 1: is coming quickly and it is going to be a 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: sprint to the finish. We've got a lot on the 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: latest polling in the critical races. What indicators are we 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: seeing some very encouraging signs for the GOP. Let's just 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: hope they can focus in, not get distracted by nonsense 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: and always remember you gotta leave a little room for 11 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: Democrat shenanigans. In the last few weeks here too, Democrat 12 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: malarkey all over the place. Joe Biden talking about the economy. I, 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: Clay and I will give you our sense of everyone 14 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: that I know and talk to about what they're doing 15 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: with their money. It's, you know, stuff it in the 16 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: mattress time for a lot of people. Right It's a 17 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: scary time right now I think for a lots. Yeah, 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: I mean people I know are pulling money anything that's 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: super risky, any or not super risky, just anything that 20 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: they feel like, you know, could really get hit even 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: more so, there's a real sense and with the housing 22 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: market heading into some very rough waters, things are going 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: to be tough. Joe Biden's telling everybody though things are great. 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,919 Speaker 1: There was a an FBI raid of a pro life 25 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: activist house over the weekend in Bucks County, Pennsylvan that 26 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: got a lot of attention Mark Howke, who is the 27 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: founder and president of the King's Men. A lot of 28 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: folks looking at this and saying, why was a father 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: and pro life activist woken up by a effectively a 30 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: Justice Department swat raid in the morning over the weekend. 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: When you hear the story, you're going to realize DJ 32 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: is absolutely politicized, especially on any issues having to do 33 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: with abortion. Last weeks here of the election plus a 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: very interesting speaking of elections, Clay, do you see what's 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: going on in Italy where this is. It's fascinating because 36 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: I had no idea that God, family and country in 37 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: Italian translates to evil fascist who is just like Mussolini. 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: That hold on a second, I didn't know. So you 39 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: have this the first female prime minister of Italy or yeah, 40 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: prime minister, right, not president, that's right, And that's always 41 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: a tough one for US Americans. We're like prime minister President, 42 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: who's the import one Georgia Maloney has become Italy's new 43 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: prime minister, and look, we don't spend a ton of 44 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: time in foreign politics here. Every country's got their own specifics. 45 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: But people do see at this point in time, some 46 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 1: clear comparison, some similarities, Clay. I think between in Italy 47 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: that has a tremendous amount of illegal immigration, there's comes 48 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: particularly from North Africa and Italy that is increasingly feeling 49 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: like it's corporatist and run. I mean this is from 50 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: Maloney's speech. He says we're effectively all treated like we're 51 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: just consumers with no family, no God, and no future 52 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: other than to consume and to do what the corporates 53 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: tell us to do. People see this as saying, hey, 54 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 1: first of all, not a lot of glass ceiling shattering 55 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: for the first female prime minister. When you look at 56 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: what's going on here and the way they cover it 57 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: in this country, Clay, people want to be a part 58 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: of something more than just buy what we tell you 59 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: to buy, get the shots we tell you to shot 60 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: to get and cut your mouth. I think this is 61 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: also a part of a tremendous global repudiation of the 62 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: leadership that many of our countries dealt with during COVID. 63 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: And you'll remember that Italy was one of the most 64 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: draconian COVID restricting countries out there. And I really do 65 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: believe that there is a desperate yearning for a new 66 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: breath of freedom all around the world, and that the 67 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: people who are in control, so called experts and elites. 68 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: What I would just say is doctor Fauci is a 69 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: perfect stand in of that community, are overwhelmingly being rejected 70 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: right now across the country. Buck, Just as an example. 71 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this from Alex Berenson, 72 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: but I thought it jumped out to me about We've 73 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: talked about the parents rejecting the COVID shots for their kids, 74 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: and even how some of the media is having to 75 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: start to cover it, but also even the people who 76 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: were all in on the boosters. Just two percent. This 77 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: is from Barrenson this morning. Buck. Two percent of young 78 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: kids are fully COVID vaccinated. It means ninety eight percent 79 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: of kids young kids. These are kids six months to 80 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: five years old. Parents are saying no. Forty nine out 81 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: of fifty are saying no. I mean, that's an overwhelming number, 82 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: and only two percent of eligible adults are getting the 83 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: new COVID booster so far. Now, I know there's a 84 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: lot of people probably out there listening to us right now, 85 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: Buck who maybe trusted the government and got that first 86 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: couple of shots. Maybe you even got your first booster. 87 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: What we're seeing, I think is while people might not 88 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: be saying it publicly, they're voting with their feet and 89 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: they are rejecting this Biden Fauci sort of collective grasp 90 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: on all of their freedoms. And I think, as we 91 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: sit here, what are we forty three days officially out. 92 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: I think tomorrow will be six weeks until the mid term. 93 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: The rising tide is coming, I am. I am feeling 94 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: the beginnings of a substantial red way right. I'm optimistic, 95 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: but in a way where we have to keep pushing because, 96 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: as we've said along, you must run up the scoreboard. 97 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: Close close run victory here not good enough. It has 98 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: to be an absolute butt kicking. And on the point, 99 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: it's an excellent by the way, about what Italy. Italy 100 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: went completely insane during COVID. That's the country went complaining constantly. 101 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: You remember this buck. Everybody said, oh, United States is 102 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: going to be the next Italy. You remember this when 103 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: you didn't say anything. Italy was the country where we 104 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: saw what was going on, particularly in northern Italy, and 105 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: everybody was thinking, oh my gosh, this is the modern plague, 106 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: this is going to be like the nineteen eighteen influenza pandemic. 107 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: All of that, right, It really started with those images 108 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: out of northern Italy, and then Italy went to extremes, 109 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: almost Australia level. The only thing is Italy's not an island, right, 110 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: so it wasn't able to isolate itself quite the same way. 111 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,119 Speaker 1: But I'm reminded here, whether it's Maloney or so many 112 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: other people who are now coming forward to talk about 113 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: globalism corporatists, we got a real taste of what is 114 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: global government during the pandemic. I think it more than 115 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: any other time probably ever. I mean, certainly in living memory, 116 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: where there was this collaboration of corporations, governments, and the 117 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: global medical elites who, by the way, abject failures, abject failures, 118 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: not just Fauci, all the people who went along with Fouchy, 119 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: all of it. They told everybody what to do. They 120 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: made everybody and used the force of this state to 121 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: do it. They enriched the farmer companies that were making 122 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: these shots that were now we see almost worthless. I 123 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: mean they've turned, certainly to this point, to be almost 124 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: worthless at this phase. And yes, there should be a reckoning. 125 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: And remember that the quote from Patton, You Love Patton, right, 126 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: one of the great one of the great wartime movies 127 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: or war movies of all time. Thirty years from now, 128 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on 129 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: your knee and he asked you what did he do 130 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: in the Great World War Two, you won't have to say, well, 131 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: I shoveled stuff in Louisiana, you know. Meaning it was 132 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: a real it's a real moment, right, It was a 133 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: real call up moment. The COVID pandemic for government, for 134 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: the elites, for corporations was a moment in history that 135 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: everybody should remember and should remember for decades to come, 136 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: because it showed you how far down the pathway of 137 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: tyranny we can be taken by people who claim to 138 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: be experts and have nothing but the best intentions. And 139 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: where were people like Maloney, I'll say this, Maloney of Italy, 140 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: big opponent of lockdowns, big opponent of mandatory vaccinations. She 141 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: was right on those issues, and the Italian people rewarded her. 142 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: I think there should be a parallel in this country 143 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: on those issues. I agree with you, and I also 144 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: don't think we can underrate to your point, the patent 145 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: analogy is a great one. There are a lot of 146 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: people who desperately want to believe that they were on 147 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: the right side of history for COVID, and they ended 148 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: up being on the wrong side of history. They want 149 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: to live in these crucible moments in time that matter 150 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: so much so they can instagram their existence into you know, 151 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: putting up a Ukraine flag or putting themselves up with 152 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: a picture of the mask. I mean, all of these 153 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: things are about social sort of platforming of yourself, the 154 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: virtue signaling, and they got it all wrong. And I'm writing, 155 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: you know, on my new book now buck, because I'm 156 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: a history nerd like you are, a stream major in college. 157 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: And the biggest, one of the biggest fallacies has been 158 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: out there for the entire Trump era is this concept 159 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: of right and wrong side of history. Because increasingly, as 160 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: you break it down, the left is wrong on everything 161 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: about their historical residence. And I mean, just think about 162 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: this for a minute. All these people who told you, hey, 163 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: you have to go get the COVID shot. Hey, you 164 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: have to go lock yourself in your house, Hey your 165 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: kids can't be in school, they're now wrong on everything. 166 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 1: And I'm genuinely curious because they're they're basically pretending that 167 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: the COVID shot still works. But the numbers out there 168 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: reflect that even the people who are saying it publicly 169 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: buck When ninety eight percent of parents are not getting 170 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: the COVID shot for their kids, book, it ain't ninety 171 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: eight percent of Republicans out there, right, I mean, we're 172 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: not winning the elections ninety eight to two. There are 173 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: millions of people now. Now now I understand there and 174 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: their lives, and they think they're really smart, But there 175 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: are millions of people, including parents, unfortunately, who not only 176 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: massed up their own children, but demanded that other children 177 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: be masked, not only made their own children get shot 178 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: they didn't need, but demanded that other children get shot, 179 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: but supported the politicians and the policies that did all 180 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: this stuff. When it comes to kids, we got on 181 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: with COVID. The apparatus got everything wrong. They got literally 182 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: not a single thing right when it came to kids. 183 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: And that's why I mean, I do think people have 184 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: been pointing out because I keep saying, you know, the economy, 185 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: which is inflation to right, I mean, inflation is the 186 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: biggest driver of the pain we're seeing. But the economy, immigration, crime. 187 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: People keep saying schools, and they throw that in at 188 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: the end, and I say, you know what, there's some 189 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: real residence there because the destruction of children's futures that 190 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: occurred because of the learning loss and the kids, especially 191 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: the kids with speech impediments. And I keep saying, and 192 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: I had a speech impediment as a kid. That's really 193 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: hard on your psychology. You're trying to communicate with your 194 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: peers and with and people make fun of you, really 195 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: harmful to them. To have to be masked up and 196 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: have other people be master during the pandemic. All of 197 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: It's not like there was a trade off made clay. 198 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: That was one of the fundamental lies about this. Okay, fine, 199 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: there's some downside, but there's so much upside we're willing 200 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: to do it. It was all downside. And that's the 201 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: part that I think even a lot of parents who 202 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: went along with this stuff. They just psychologically can't handle 203 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: that right now. But a lot of those people, I 204 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: think buck are listening to us. I think they found 205 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: a lot of them did found us during COVID and 206 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: they're like, oh, these guys are not again. That's why 207 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: I like the tagline that we use sanity in a 208 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: time of insanity. When ninety eight percent of parents of 209 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: young children are not getting them in double COVID shots, 210 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: and when only around two percent of people that might 211 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: have even already gotten three or four shots are finally 212 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: saying yeah, I'm not willing to go get the fourth shot. 213 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: They're not saying publicly what their actions are reflecting, but 214 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: I do think they are responsive when you make those arguments. 215 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: And I think we have to say, bok, look, we 216 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: welcome you. If you initially bought in and you thought, hey, 217 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: I should go get these double COVID shots, Hey I 218 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: should get a booster. I'm going to trust my government, 219 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: And now you're looking at the data and you're starting 220 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: to recognize that you were sold a bill of goods. 221 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: Open up your eyes on other issues too, because it's 222 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: not just COVID. Look on the one part of this 223 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: where I'll say I got it wrong. I knew masks 224 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: were bullcrap essentially day one. Like I knew this was 225 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: a total joke, all along, lockdowns, senseless crazy, We're all 226 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: just going to eventually get the hurt immunity. The only 227 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: place where I have to go back and say I 228 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: got that one. A little them. I thought the first 229 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: round of vaccination would be more effective than it ended 230 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: up being. I think four of those at risk. I 231 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: was like, they're telling us ninety five percent effective. They 232 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: can't be I know they're wrong a lot, but they 233 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: can't be that wrong. And they were talking about this 234 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: privately before we even said it on the radio, because 235 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: we were like, if you start to look at this data, 236 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: and I remember you say, I'm like, they can't be 237 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: this wrong, righty, Like they can't have in your head. 238 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's rational, and they think that's rational. 239 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: I think that's a lot of people listening to us 240 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: right now who bought in initially. Look, we're gonna try 241 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. We're not gonna get everything right. 242 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: But again last year and we were having Alex Barnson on, 243 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: I was like, man, I trust that he's right, but 244 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: I was like, man, this is kind of controversial stuff 245 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: to be saying that the COVID shots are not going 246 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: to work, because at the time we were being told 247 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: they were a medical miracle and they were going to 248 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: end COVID forever. And there's something about and this goes 249 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: to what we saw I think with the rise of 250 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: Georgia Maloney in Italy. Also, by the way, Sweden just 251 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: elected I hate that it was just from far right. 252 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: I mean, do they mean do they mean rational? You know, 253 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: He's like, well, what does that really mean? Right? Yeah, 254 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: anytime you have a group that is elected in Europe 255 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: by an entire very sophisticated, uh you know, highly literate country, 256 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: or by a plurality or majority, whatever it may be, 257 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: and the media says they're a fascist, you should start 258 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: asking questions like are they really fascist? Is that really true? 259 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: Because I mean, Buck USA today called me a right 260 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: way extreamist, a right way extremist. I'm still jealous, all right, 261 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: we need to stop unfair. If yet, you know you 262 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: google me, I think it just does right wing. I 263 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: don't get the extremist tag, but I'm working on it. 264 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: We got more on this, and including on the accounting 265 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: By the way, do you see this guy I don't 266 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: want Professor Jeremy Siegel of the Wharton School of Business. 267 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: He is a monetary policy nerd, and I say that 268 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: with respectfully. You see he's just flipping out. He's like, 269 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: does everyone understand what's really gone on here, which is 270 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: that the the entity that got everything wrong for political 271 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: reasons is now saying we're gonna get everything right. Yeah, 272 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: it's it's scary. And also, our boy Federman. Did you 273 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: see he tried to talk about sports and he can't 274 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: even talk about sports. Did you see this audio? Oh 275 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: my god, we'll get to all. We got a lot, folks. 276 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: It's Monday. You know where we stacked on Monday? The 277 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: federal government, we're just talking about it, like spending money 278 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: they don't have, and that reckless spending has been driving 279 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: up the cost of everything. It's not right. But you 280 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: and I already know that you need to do things 281 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: about it, though, right lower your monthly expenses.

One of the things you 284 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: can do to just have extra cash at the end 285 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: of every month, switch your cell phone service to pure talk, 286 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,239 Speaker 1: like I did.

Walcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. 302 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: You would think the one thing that John Fetterman could 303 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: get right is that there are two NFL teams in 304 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: the state of Pennsylvania. But John Fetterman, Pennsylvania Senate canad 305 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: against doctor Oz is so broken not only in his 306 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: views but frankly in his health that even when he 307 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: tried to go with the easy, rally inducing, cheer inducing 308 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: Eagles Steelers comparison Philadelphia Eagles Pittsburgh Steelers for those of 309 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: you out there, big powerful, popular franchises in the state 310 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania. John Fetterman at a rally tried to say 311 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: which one was better. Didn't go, well, listen, Diggles are 312 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: so much better than Diggles. I mean, I fear better 313 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: sports analysis than John Fetterman. That's what I just learned today. 314 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: The Eagles are so much better than the Eagles. I 315 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: keep waiting Buck for, like the Washington Post fact checkers 316 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: to say, well, actually, he was comparing the band the 317 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: Eagles to the football team, the Eagles. Anyone knows that 318 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't trying to compare. He was trying to honestly 319 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: compare the Steelers and the Eagles, who I believe have 320 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: a game coming up next month against each other, which 321 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: will be a battle for Pennsylvania. But it sounds funny. 322 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: He's an ornithologist and he was just celebrating the grandiosity 323 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: general of the raptor that is the American bald eagle. 324 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: I also love the crowd reaction there, Buck, because people 325 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: expect that he's going to be able to deliver a 326 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: line comparing the two, and he can't even manage to 327 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: do that because unfortunately he's so unhealthy. Number one job 328 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: of a senator debate discuss he can't do either.

It's fascinating what laws the DOJ 350 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: decides to and four and what laws it doesn't. I 351 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: just put that out there and automatically you'll probably think, well, 352 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: hold on a second immigration law, is it legal to 353 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: be an illegal in this country? Well, what they do 354 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: is they nullify the laws by, unto the Biden regime, 355 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: not actually enforcing them. So the laws are still on 356 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: the books, but people don't actually get deported. So is 357 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: it really even a law anymore. That's one that's violated 358 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: millions and millions of times across the country, and the 359 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: American people are by solid majority, not on board with this. 360 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: It's why the Democrats don't like people paying attention to 361 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: what's going on at our Law of southern border another 362 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: one that Clay and I remember talking about in detail 363 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: here on the show. You can't actually gather outside the 364 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: homes of a Supreme Court justice and threaten them. There's 365 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: a there's a federal law against that, and it's not 366 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: hard to know if people are breaking that federal law 367 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: because mobs gathered at the private residence of a Supreme 368 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: Court justice is clearly meant to obstruct and interfere with 369 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: the judicial process. But that went on for days and 370 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: days after the leak. Did we ever found out who 371 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: leaked that? By the way, I don't think we will not, 372 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: And if we do, it'll just be that person gets 373 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: a bigger book deal from the latest you know, lib 374 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: publishing company. But the law against intimidation of Justice's clay 375 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: was completely unenforced, and they never explained why. Although those 376 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: people were breaking the law, but it was super important 377 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: that you could have boord a baby for all nine 378 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: months of a pregnancy to those people. So Merrick Garland's 379 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: DOJ did nothing did nothing. I mean they added after 380 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: there was an attempt on Cavanaugh's life, a few extra 381 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: police on the streets to make sure that, you know, 382 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have to deal with that one. I bring 383 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: all this up because over the weekend something happened to 384 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: show you what the priorities of this Department of justice 385 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: really are. A Catholic pro life activist named Mark Howe 386 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: was arrested at his Pennsylvania home rural Pennsylvania over the 387 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: weekend about twenty. The FBI has confirmed about twenty FBI 388 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: or I should say a source at the FBI about 389 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: twenty agents showed up early in the morning banging on 390 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: the door. They apparently had long guns. They handcuffed Mark 391 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: how They actually had a belly chain attached to the handcuffs, 392 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: so he was sort of really in case he was 393 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: some risk to them. He might be wondering, what did 394 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: this pro life activists do? Oh. He was arrested by 395 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: the FBI over something called the FACE Act, the Freedom 396 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, and it has to 397 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: do with a dispute involving a seventy two year old 398 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: man identified as b L outside of a planned parenthood 399 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: clinic on October thirteenth, twenty twenty one. Words were exchanged 400 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: between how can this b L? They just give the 401 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: initials man because bl apparently shouted profane things at the 402 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: son of Howk. There was a shove. There was no 403 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: serious injury to anyone. This was adjudicated in the courts 404 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: already nothing happened as a result of it. But now 405 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,719 Speaker 1: how had the FBI show up at his home? He 406 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: faces under the Face Act, which is a special law 407 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: that the Left pass that if you do anything, if 408 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: you even stand in the way of somebody trying to 409 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: get into an abortion clinic, it is a matter of 410 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: federal law. He faces up to eleven years in prison 411 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: and finds him up to three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Clay, 412 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: they had the time to do this, but they don't 413 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: have the time to investigate Hunter and his dealings. They 414 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: have the time to do this, but not to track 415 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: down the months and months of BLM rioters of twenty 416 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: twenty or even did you see this weekend the Wahwa 417 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: philadel No, no time for that kind of stuff. Yeah, 418 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: look what's going on here is there is a desperate 419 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: and calculated attempt to make two things the number one 420 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: stories in the mid term Donald Trump, and I will 421 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: say this, it's amazing to me how quickly that Letitia 422 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,959 Speaker 1: James lawsuit vanished, and we talked about it. I said, hey, 423 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: it's a civil lawsuits. It's total bs because and this 424 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: is this is me being a lawyer who was defrauded here, 425 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: all of the banks, which if you ever try to 426 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: get a loan, the idea that they're giving out tens 427 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars in loans without doing an amazing 428 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: amount of due diligence is just not true. But the 429 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: loans were paid back. So I don't understand how you 430 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: can commit fraud when the banks that loan the money 431 00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: make back all of their initial investment. Was true, hits 432 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: him less crime's victim here, that's not even a crime 433 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: because the banks were paid back. I guess you can 434 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: argue that the banks would have made more money in loans, 435 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 1: but are you really arguing that the banks are the 436 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: victim here that they didn't do good? They didn't bring 437 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: the complaints. Letitia James is complaining on behalf of the 438 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: largest and most sophisticated financial institutions on the planet that 439 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: in their dealings with Donald Trump, she thinks that Trump 440 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: was too smart for them. Basic. Yes, that's what she's doing, 441 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: and it's a joke, and they made money on them, 442 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: which is why all of this. As soon as we 443 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: talked about he said, it's civil. This is a total 444 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: BS suit. But it vanished because I think most people 445 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: are recognizing as we sit here forty three days out 446 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: from the mid term, Trump's not on the ballot. And 447 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: by the way, if you do believe Trump is on 448 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: the ballot and you're a Republican, go out and vote. 449 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: Trump's not on the ballot himself directly. But if you 450 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: believe that Democrat rats are overreaching for Department of Justice purposes, 451 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 1: you should go out and vote for all Republican candidates 452 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: to try to create a check on the raw, unrestrained 453 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: power of the Biden administration. But they're trying to put 454 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: Trump on the ballot, and they're trying to put abortion 455 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: on the ballot. The interesting thing about abortion. We'll come back. 456 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: I'll break this down a little bit more. But the 457 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: interesting thing about abortion, Buck is, but for the idiocy 458 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: of Lindsey Graham, which I'm going to tee off on 459 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: in this next segment, I mean, the guy's an imbecile 460 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: right now with what he's trying to do, this is 461 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: not really on the ballot, Buck, Because if you are 462 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: desperately committed to your state and you care a tremendous 463 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: amount about what the law is in your state, you 464 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: can go vote for state legislators for representatives for senators 465 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: in your individual state, but buying large all Rov Wade did, 466 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: and I think more and more people are recognizing this 467 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: is shift the battleground from the courts to the individual 468 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: state legislatures. Governors can make the choices and your representatives 469 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: on a state level. It's not a federal issue anymore. 470 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: And so they're desperate buck to make it two things, 471 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: Trump and abortion, and I think they're failing, which is 472 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: why they're getting more and more aggressive and trying to 473 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 1: put this story front inside well. This this is showing 474 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: the left wing base and the nay Rowl pro Choice 475 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: America Planned Parenthood donor class that Merrick Garlands DOJ, even 476 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: without any constitutional backing for abortion whatsoever now overturned, not 477 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: a constitutional right, deal with it lives. Merrick Garland's DOJ 478 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: has their back at a time when we have clay 479 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: what is it now, forty percent national increase in homicides 480 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: thirty thirty five percent maybe I think I think thirty 481 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: thirty five percent might be the actual number, but massive 482 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: increase in national homicide since twenty nineteen, at a time 483 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: when we're finding out that there are police jurisdictions that 484 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,719 Speaker 1: they could use federal help. By the way I worked, 485 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: I worked for something that was a effectively a fusion 486 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: center in New York. We had FBI, DA, NYPD altogether 487 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: and a lot of times local state and federal law 488 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: enforce and work hand in hand. We have a massive 489 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: violent crime problem out of control across the country. But 490 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland's FBI has the time to go arrest a 491 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: pro life activist for a shove without injury two years 492 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: or whatever, eighteen months ago. You've got to be kidding me. 493 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: But this is all politics. What Letitia James did with 494 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: the Trump you know whatever, we call that civil suit. 495 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: This is Merrick Garland doing it at the DOJ, which 496 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: is even scarier, no doubt. And again to your point, 497 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: I believe you said this happened in October of twenty 498 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: twenty one. Yes, it's now been almost a year. And 499 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: the idea that you need to arrest a father of 500 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: seven with twenty armed FBI agents, it's all a show. 501 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: It's designed to create this storyline. And again I think 502 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: you just have to be smart enough to recognize out there, 503 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: this is an inflation economy election, this is a border election, 504 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 1: this is a crime election, and this is a failure 505 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 1: to handle your kids and school election. It ain't an 506 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: abortion election, and it certainly isn't a reference. This law 507 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: is nonsense. By the way, the notion there should be 508 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 1: elevated protections for people in essentially a verbal and largely 509 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: verbal altercation outside of a planned parenthood clinic. This is 510 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: not the federal judiciary. There don't need to be enhanced protections. Sorry, libs, 511 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: you don't have a constitutional right anymore to this. That's 512 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: a whole other part of this too. A lot of 513 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: these laws need to be rolled back and need to 514 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: be challenged in the courts. But I mean Clay eleven 515 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: years for a shove without injury. I mean, if the 516 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: guy hits his head, he's in a coma fine, But 517 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: he got up and he was fine. We know that 518 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: a first degree murderer in Memphis, to use as an example, 519 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: that ended up going on a shooting spree all over 520 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: the city. What did he get three years for attempted 521 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: first degree murder? Unbel I mean, and goes out and 522 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: kills you know, four or five peoples with their law 523 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: and order. That's how libs do it, friends, all right? 524 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: Switching to something really positive yesterday in New York City. 525 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: The Tunnel of Towers Foundation had an amazing event their 526 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: annual five k run and walk. You had thirty thousand 527 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: people retracing the steps of firefighter Stephen Siller on the 528 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: morning at nine to eleven. He had just finished his 529 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: shift and was on his way to play golf with 530 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: his brothers when he got word over his scanner that 531 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: a plane and hit the North Power at the World 532 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: Trade Center. He called his wife Sally Astrid tell his 533 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: brothers he'd catch up with them later. He drove to 534 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: the entrance of the Brooklyn Battery tunnel, which was closed, 535 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: and ran through it, wearing sixty pounds of gears. Others 536 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: ran the other way. He never came back. His older brother, Frank, 537 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,479 Speaker 1: who we've had on this show many times, founded tunnelth 538 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: of Towers in his memory and it raises money for 539 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: the families of fallen first responders and their families. And 540 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: yesterday's event was a huge success, raising so much money 541 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: for this incredibly worthy cause. I actually sponsored my friend 542 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: Raheim Kasam he was running in this one. He raised 543 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: over thirteen thousand dollars.

There 560 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: was an interesting article that said, one reason why Democrats 561 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: have been losing ground as the midterms move closer all 562 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: of the attention on the queen, which I thought it 563 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: was kind of an intriguing discussion and sticular. The article 564 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: was saying, hey, Lindsey Graham introduced a bill that was 565 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: going to make abortion a big focal point of the 566 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: mid terms, which I think was really, really dumb by 567 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham. I think next level strategic idiocy by Lindsay Graham, 568 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: because that's exactly what Democrats want to focus on instead 569 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: of the border crime, inflation, the economy, and their failures 570 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: on COVID in school policy in particular. And yet it 571 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: didn't really catch any kind of substantial fire at all. 572 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: And there's one argument that as we get further from 573 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: the dab's decision, more and more people are becoming cognizant 574 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: of the fact that if they're really focused on abortion, 575 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: that's a state issue as opposed to a federal issue. 576 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: But also they're saying it may have been because of 577 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: the ten day obsessive coverage surrounding the queen, And look, 578 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: we got a lot of listeners down in Florida, and 579 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: we want you to all say safe. With Hurricane Ian 580 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: potentially approaching this week and hitting somewhere in Florida, there's 581 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: also the possibility of this story becoming paramount as the 582 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: midterms move closer. And the reason why I bring this 583 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: up is we talk a lot about October surprises, and 584 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: typically in October surprise means something that one party or 585 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: the other is springing to try to draw attention and 586 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: maybe swing close elections in their direction. What I would 587 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: say is the Queen combined with the hurricane. As we 588 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: approach closer towards October, there may well be national storyline 589 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: discussions that sort of frees us in place wherever we 590 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: are right now, and we come back at the top 591 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: of the next hour, Buck, I'll tell you some of 592 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: the details that are out there about this Washington Post 593 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: poll that came out over the weekend that they immediately 594 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: buried because it was so bad for Joe Biden. But 595 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: do you buy into that idea that the MSNBC's and 596 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: the CNNs of the world were so obsessed with the 597 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: queen that it basically knocked most traditional political coverage off 598 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: the map for much of those ten days. Oh, it 599 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: definitely consumed the news cycle for a while. And I 600 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: think right now Republicans have generally speaking, the momentum. Although 601 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: anytime you're looking at national level polls and an overall 602 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 1: generic Republican versus generic Democrat, you and I know what's 603 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: the House tally gonna be. It's not gonna be as 604 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: big as it's been in previous years in wave elections 605 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: because the Republicans are already in a decent position. It's 606 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: not a big Democrat majority that can be swept away. 607 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: A lot of those races were one in twenty To 608 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: make your point, because some people are gonna say, oh, 609 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna pick up forty or fifty seats. There just 610 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: aren't that, man, there aren't enough flips to make it 611 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: that kind of a number. But it still could end 612 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: up being a very strong place for Republicans. But additionally, 613 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: we all know Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania. That's basically going 614 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: to be the balance of the Senate. I think everyone 615 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: realizes that. And in those races it's going to come 616 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,399 Speaker 1: down to fifteen thousand, twenty thousand votes. In a few 617 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: cases maybe less than that, maybe five thousand. So you know, 618 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 1: it's really tough to look at these sort of snapshots 619 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: of well what does this mean in the national news cycle. 620 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: One time or another, I will say this, Democrats are 621 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: running out of time for a massive narrative shift. Yeah, 622 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: and I think that the Queen, to the point you're 623 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: making about that analysis, it ran the clock down a 624 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: little bit. It was the guy got tackled before you 625 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 1: could get to the outsideline, Clay, and so then the 626 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: man with the big clock came along. The sideline is 627 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 1: a phrase that I've never heard before. The sideline, but yes, 628 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: the sideline. So the clocke bntinued to rut of bounds 629 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: on the sideline. I think you're right. And look, we 630 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: hope that Hurricane Ian isn't that bad and doesn't impact 631 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: a tremendous number of people, but it's seems like the 632 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: Tampa area could be. Tampa hasn't gotten hit hard by 633 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: a hurricane to my knowledge directly, in a very long time. 634 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: That even though this may not be a category five 635 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: or a high level Category four. Although my knowledge because 636 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: we have a place on the Gulf, is that the 637 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: Gulf waters are typically warmer and so hurricanes typically gain 638 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: strength as they come across the Gulf. We don't know 639 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: exactly what that strength is going to be, but it's 640 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 1: likely as you look at the next couple of days 641 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 1: that the storyline is almost completely going to shift to 642 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: because we haven't had any hurricanes, it's been a very 643 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: quiet hurricane season already, that that will become the predominant 644 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: story this week maybe more so than anything else, and 645 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: also some other things that just have started to We 646 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: can talk more about this the next hour. Price of 647 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,479 Speaker 1: gas has started to go up a little bit again. 648 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: You know, Biden has been just churning through the strategic 649 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: Reserve and that is just a paying people off so 650 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: they don't realize how crappy the economy is. Maneuver, you know, 651 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: but really is supposed to have that for a true 652 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: energy crunch. We're supposed to have that in case we 653 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: go to war. Biden is using it to try to 654 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,440 Speaker 1: buy off voters, and even that's not sufficient. And when 655 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: you look at all the other economic indicators right now, 656 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: you know what's gonna be. You know, it'll be the 657 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 1: nail and the coffin for Democrats electoral hopes. If we 658 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: get a bad jobs number right before, which I think 659 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: we could. If our last job's number that comes out 660 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: is a major with for the Democrats.
