1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in. We are rolling into the

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Friday edition of the program. We hope all of you

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: are having good early starts to your weekend, and we

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: want to have some fun with you as we bring truth, sanity,

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: and justice in the American Way to the masses across

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: this great land. I am Clay Travis, he is Buck Sexton,

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: and we have got good news on the horizon as

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: it pertains to the Senate battle grounds forty six days out.

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: Adam Laxalt, who I believe and Buck believes will be

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: the next Senator from the great state of Nevada, is

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: going to be with us in the third hour of

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: the program. New polls that are out putting him in

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: the lead to potentially knock out a Democrat seat there

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: if you consider herschel Walker as well. There is now

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: strong evidence, regardless of what might happen in Pence Sylvania,

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: that Republicans have a very good chance at minimum to

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: pick up two seats, which would help to alleviate even

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: if there were one lost, which we don't think there's

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: necessarily going to be. But all of that is coming

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: and is a big deal and big news in a

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: positive way. What is not positive, unfortunately, if you break

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: down everything that is going on right now, what is

24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: not positive is that we are in a situation now where, unfortunately,

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: the stock market has now dropped below thirty thousand for

26
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: the first time since all the way back in twenty

27
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: You also are now dealing with surging mortgage rates which

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: are well over six percent on the thirty year, and

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: inflation remains near a forty year high. As was said

30
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety two by the ragin Cajun James Carville,

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: it's the economy stupid. Also, not just the economy, we

32
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: also have murders and violent crime continuing to surge across

33
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: the country in twenty twenty two, skyrocketing since twenty nineteen,

34
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: and the border is an unmitigated disaster that is impossible

35
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: to defend. Rhonda Santis has made it a major topic

36
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 1: of discussion. All of these things in a basket are

37
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: massive issues and point towards what is occurring right now.

38
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: As we sit forty six days out buck, it feels

39
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: like everybody is circling back around and the focus is

40
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: moving from Donald Trump and whatever happens with mar Lago

41
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: and whatever criminal investigations or civil investigations might be going on.

42
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Everything is moving off of Trump. It feels like abortion

43
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: is receding substantially. It's the economy, it's the border, and

44
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: it's crime, which is what is captivating most of the

45
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: American electorate. And yeah, I worry Clay about the GOP

46
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: as an entity and its ability to really focus in

47
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: and make the case in these final weeks. I mean

48
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: you probably saw this morning Minority Leader McCarthy unveiling the

49
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Commitment to America, which to me, I understand, contract with America.

50
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: You know, I understand there's a history here of that

51
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: they're trying to harken back to. But notice the other side.

52
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: We'll just call the the Green New Deal spending extravaganza

53
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: and higher IRS bill, the Anti Inflation Act, right, the

54
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act, and we call our you know, at

55
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,839
Speaker 1: this moment in time, the GOP rolls out the commitment

56
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: to America, we kind of assume if you're an elected official,

57
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be committed to America. You know, when

58
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: Biden rolled out his two trillion dollars spending binge, what

59
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: did they call that? One point nine trillion dollars for

60
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: the fact checkers. The American Rescue Plan, right, the sense

61
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: of either urgency or defiant propaganda in what they put

62
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: forward versus our side's kind of like, yeah, we're gonna

63
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: reduce taxes and deregulate, and you know it's no, no,

64
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: we are going to turn around the cratering economy, the reckless, insane,

65
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: lawless border and make it safe for you, your family,

66
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: your business, your community to exist without crime, public urination,

67
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: drugs everywhere, lunatics running around naked throwing things at you.

68
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: That's the GOP has got to understand what time it is,

69
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: and I think there are some candidates who do. I

70
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: think we look in on the for example, the doctor

71
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: os Federman Race, doctor Oz. He's got a plan, he's executing,

72
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: he's out there, he's going for it. Right. I think

73
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: we're gonna Adam laxalt On. Let's talk to him about

74
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: how he is in a I mean with the latest

75
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: polls what we have here basically tied dead heat. The

76
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: latest poll that I see here has he's up, and

77
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: the two most recent polls that just came out, I

78
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: mean within the margin of vera. Right, So it's forty

79
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: seven forty six against Cortez Mastro. So yeah, he's up

80
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: a point, but you know, a point is not enough

81
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: to feel particularly confident on Kelly, Senator Kelly and Masters

82
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: again within the margin, right within the margin of vera,

83
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: which I think is two points forty eight forty seven.

84
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Warnock Walker tied in the poll forty six forty six.

85
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: So every single one of these races, you know, it

86
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: turns you know what, Clay, Actually, you'll like this. Remember

87
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: that speech. It's really the most memorable part of any

88
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: given Sunday that Al Pacino gave me an inch. He's like,

89
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: you gotta fight for every inch, and you gotta look

90
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: at the guy next to you. It's the difference between

91
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: winning and losing. Pretty much every GOP staff right now

92
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: in all these campaigns should have that playing on in

93
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: the background because Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and we can't

94
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: even focus in on all the house races that are

95
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: there's some close house races here in New York that

96
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: could go either way. For example, we got to win

97
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: these ones, Clay, and we got to focus on what matters,

98
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: and people got to they have to be reminded it's

99
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: not enough for the headlines. They have to be reminded

100
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: of how we got here. Bad Democrat leadership. Yeah, and

101
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: I think in particular on the economy, the graphs kind

102
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: of speak for themselves. We have dropped, unfortunately today the

103
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: stock markets down another four hundred and five hundred points.

104
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: We have dropped now below where we were in December

105
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. So if you were a huge Democrat,

106
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: and if you said, thank the Lord, we've got Donald

107
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: Trump out of office. Now the adults are back in

108
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: the room, and you had poured all of your money

109
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: into the stock market on January twenty twentieth or twenty

110
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: first of twenty twenty one, when Joe Biden got inaugurated,

111
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: you would have lost a lot of money now, and

112
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 1: that's relatively rare buck where you have somebody come into

113
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: office for two years the stock market be down right

114
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: over time, stock market goes up. But we have created

115
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: such a bad economic situation with Joe Biden in the

116
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: White House, with the money that has been spent, with

117
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: the lack of prioritizing things that matter, and now I

118
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: think we're going to have Frankly, and I hate to

119
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: say it, but I think twenty twenty three is going

120
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: to be an economic disaster of a year. I really do,

121
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: and I think that a lot of the worst of

122
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden economy, unfortunately buck is not going to

123
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: hit in time for this mid term. We're going to

124
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: get a lot of it in November, December, and then

125
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: all into early parts of twenty twenty three. It's going

126
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: to be really bad. They're very clearly hoping that they

127
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: can just just hold on for dear life here politically

128
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: as the economy. Everyone I talk to everyone, I talk

129
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: to you, the bulls, the bears, the people who know

130
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: Wall Street super well who are usually very pessimistic, and

131
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: the ones who are very optimistic. Everybody that I know.

132
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: I grew up in New York City. My family's a

133
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: Wall Street family. I know tons of people that work

134
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: in the financial sector, and they're saying it's about to

135
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: get ugly out there. Like there's not a single person

136
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: who's saying it's gonna be good, Clay. It's just a

137
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: question of are we going to see unemployment at six percent?

138
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Nine percent? Is you know where is this heading in

139
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: terms of the damage as as part of this reset?

140
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: Dare I say, and even I mean, think about it

141
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: this way. You're in the first you're in the you know,

142
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: the honeymoon period of a presidency is the first six

143
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: and twelve months. We're not even yet at the two

144
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: year mark. And here is the White House's chief spokesperson,

145
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: Karine Jean Pierre, saying, yeah, I mean the president realizes,

146
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: like it's really rough out there right now. So the

147
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: president understands that when it comes to the economy, he

148
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: understands how much that's crushing families. He gets it that

149
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: people are sitting around their kitchen table and trying to

150
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: figure out how are they going to pay for their groceries.

151
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: And so that's why he's made that his number one

152
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: economic priority. If you think about energy costs coming down,

153
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: and you think about the gas prices that we have

154
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: been able to fight so hard because of the president's

155
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: historic you know, his sorry policies that he's put forward.

156
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: We were able to bring gas prices down about a

157
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: dollar thirty per gallon every day this summer, and so

158
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: it's on his mind. It's on his mind. He knows

159
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: how bad things are. Can I just say, Clay, if

160
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: we were just able to go back in time two

161
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: years and say Hey, a little vision into your future.

162
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: While Joe bideshend middle clash out drop down, making everything

163
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: normal and better, that his press secretary would be saying,

164
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: the President realizes how much the economy sucks for all

165
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: the American families out there right now. How many people

166
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: would have voted differently, Well, a lot should have. And

167
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: the way that I would describe the economy right now

168
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: is you ever been driving down the road and you think, oh,

169
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: I think I've got a flat tire, and then but

170
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: you're like, you turn the music down and you start listening,

171
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: and your car starts to handle a little bit differently.

172
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: We've got a flat tire, and the question is is

173
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: it going to be one of those flat tires that

174
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: goes flat immediately right? And suddenly the tire starts shredding

175
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: and everything's fallen out in your back window, and you're like, man,

176
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I have time to hardly

177
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: get across the road to pull off on the side

178
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: of the road. That's where we are right now. The

179
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: tire is flat. You can hear it right like you

180
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: can you can, you know, drive in the car. Everybody

181
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: out there who's involved in the economy knows what that

182
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: feels like. And the question is how bad is the

183
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: blowout going to be and how fast is going to

184
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: get here? And certainly for Biden and his administration, buck

185
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: what they're sitting around saying is we want to get

186
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: through the midterms forty six days away before the full

187
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: calamity reveals itself, and we need to distract people by

188
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: going after Donald Trump. We need to distract people by

189
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: talking about abortion, something that's not going to change based

190
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: on the midterm election, and not look at what's directly

191
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: in front of them and react to it. You know,

192
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: I really want everybody to get ready for it. As

193
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: I was saying, I talked to my dad, family members,

194
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: people that I know who are either retired and have

195
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: been in the game, we're in the game a long

196
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: time or still in the game, about where this market's

197
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: going and it's going to get rough. I'm talking stock market,

198
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: commodity markets, housing market. Let's go to mortgage rates. Have

227
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: Battlegrounds all over the country, perhaps none more intense than

228
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: what is going on in Nevada, where we've got two

229
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: different major elections that are complete toss ups. Adam Laxalt

230
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: joins us now he is running for Senate there. We

231
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: appreciate all of you listening in Las Vegas and Reno

232
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: and soon to be. I believe Senator I want to

233
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: hit you with a couple of polls. I'm sure you

234
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: guys get poles all the time, but these both came

235
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: out yesterday. Insider Advantage has you with a three point lead.

236
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: The Trafalgar Group has you with a four point lead.

237
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: What are you seeing on the ground. Do you believe

238
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: that those polls are accurate? Do you think you're going

239
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: to flip this seat away from the Democrats? He it's

240
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: been an incredible week, had five polls that have had

241
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: us ahead in this week or in this race. That's

242
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: after a summer which all your Nevada listeners will be

243
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: well aware of being absolutely pounded by negative ads from

244
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: all being funded from New York and California, and nonetheless,

245
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: the voters curly aren't buying it. They aren't buying that

246
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm responsible for high gas prices, which is one of

247
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: the ads that ran here for a few months, And

248
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: they aren't buying her election year, you know, makeup where

249
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: she's trying to pretend like she's been standing for Nevada

250
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: when no one can think of a single important time

251
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: that she stood with Nevada over Washington, DC, over what's gone,

252
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: what's happened to our country over the last few years,

253
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: including of course, just three weeks ago with the Inflation

254
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: Reduction Act. She wasn't even up for debate. She was

255
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: a guaranteed vote, a vote that certainly is leading to

256
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: more inflation in a city that is already sixteen percent

257
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: inflation or the epicenter. And so all you here on

258
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: the ground is people are fed up. They want change.

259
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: They're tired of our current leadership, which in our state

260
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: is all Democrats, and obviously nationally is Democrats as well.

261
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: Adam is your opponent, Cortez Masto taking a page from

262
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: the Fetterman playbook in effectively trying to just let the

263
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: media do her work for her on the campaign trail,

264
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: duck away from whether it's facing you or on a

265
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: debate stage, or facing the voters that you're pointing out,

266
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: I mean, very understandably in Nevada and across the country

267
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: are very concerned right now is she ducking away? Is

268
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: I mean, how is she trying to deal with the

269
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: realities of what her party is doing these days? Well,

270
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: let's say, most importantly, she's ducked away from every fight

271
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: we've needed her to be involved in over the last

272
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: five six years, and so she cuts a very very

273
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: low profile. She's hoping she can buy this race the TV.

274
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: She does very very little media. They they launched out

275
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: a couple of very very liberal states the day after

276
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: my primary. We have substantly accepted it too, right down

277
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: the line, very centrist accepted wide debate. She will not

278
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: accept those debates, and so we're hoping she still will.

279
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: There's no questions she needs a debate more than we do,

280
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: because in the end of the day, she's down. They've

281
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: thrown their you know, two or three biggest punches, and

282
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: we feel like, now that voters are fully engaged our side,

283
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm finally up on TV. Our side is finally, you know,

284
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: helping make the case on the outside and it's not

285
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: just a one way street like we faced all summer long.

286
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: Where are you really different in terms of how you

287
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: will vote and how that will represent the people of

288
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: Nevada differently in DC as a United States Senator? Where

289
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: are the core differences between you and Cortez Masto? Well,

290
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: we just started a border ad yesterday. Nothing illustrates our

291
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: core differences more than the border. I visited the border,

292
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: as the voters will see in the ad. My opponent

293
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: says that there's no such thing as an open border.

294
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 1: It's misinformation. So you know, this is a huge issue.

295
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: You know, I believe as a party, we shouldn't do

296
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: a single thing coming out of hopefully winning two houses

297
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: without forcing Joe Biden to secure this border. Again, my

298
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: opponent doesn't even acknowledge that we have an open border.

299
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: You know, from a law enforcement perspective, law enforcement across

300
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: the state, twenty thousand plus badges has supported me. These

301
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: are people that have supported her in her race in

302
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: six team because they know that I stood with her

303
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: when I was Attorney General. They know that I stood

304
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 1: with them when the BLM riots happened. And in the

305
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: bottom line is these Democrats, while they're trying to do

306
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: a lot of election year makeup work on defunding the

307
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: police and you know, all this anti cop rhetoric, the

308
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: damage is done. Cops understand that the Democrats soft on

309
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: crime policies does not support them, and I think our

310
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: voters understand these policies have made our communities far less safe.

311
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: You know. The other major area, of course, is in

312
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: just the economic agenda. She has been a one hundred

313
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: percent reliable vote for all of the spending bills, for

314
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: all of the attacks on energy, and all of these

315
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: things have made Las Vegas the epicenter of inflation. We

316
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: have five dollars and up gas. In the fact, we're

317
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: behind only California and Hawaii or a couple dollars more

318
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: than every other battleground state. So all these things are

319
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: combining for a massive change election. You know, that's said.

320
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: You know, as I'm sure you're reporting on a lot

321
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 1: of these races. The Democrats have unlimited money and they're

322
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: spending whatever it takes to try to buy these races,

323
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: and so we certainly need support across the state and

324
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: all over the country to try to match this progressive

325
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: spend mostly from California in New York. They're trying to

326
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: buy these races. They're deceiving voters of false messages. But

327
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: when all of a sudden done, we feel confident we'll

328
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: win this race. We're talking to Adam Laxalt. Nevada is

329
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: the Senate battleground that he is trying to win, up

330
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: up three and up four in the two most recent

331
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: polls that are up at real clear politics. Obviously, things

332
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: breaking your way, and it seems Adam like a decent

333
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: percentage of that a lot of Hispanic voters are rallying

334
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: around the message that you are selling. Are you seeing

335
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: that on the ground. Why do you think in particular

336
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: Hispanic voters are breaking in your direct maybe in ways

337
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: that they haven't broken for a Republican in the past. Yeah,

338
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: we started Latinos for Laxel in February. We've been working

339
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: at this the entire year. We've got incredible coalitions, you know,

340
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: We've got Spanish ads, radio, TV, and we've made this

341
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: a huge priority. And the Democrats of course have gone

342
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: have done a lot of the work for us by

343
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: all of their failing policies. And so I think what

344
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: happened during COVID with these horrific shutdowns is that Hispanic

345
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: small businesses were shut down at all time highs. You

346
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: had schools shut down a lot longer they needed to

347
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: be and so you had to say a working Hispanic mom,

348
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: single mom trying to juggle zoom schools and still put

349
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: food on the table. And I think they got really

350
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: really fed up. They also got treated to seeing what

351
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: their kids are being taught in schools. These people moved

352
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: to Las Vegas because they believe in the American dream.

353
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 1: They believe, as has been proven time and again in

354
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: our state, that if you work hard, you can make

355
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: an honest wage, you can provide opportunity for your family

356
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: and have a real shot at the America dream. They

357
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 1: don't support this far left idea that America is a

358
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: terrible place and we're irredeemable. And so, you know, all

359
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: these things have combined for the Hispanic community to finally

360
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 1: wake up and understand. These Democrats will say whatever it

361
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: takes to win elections, but the bottom line is their

362
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: values don't match up with the Hispanic community. They do

363
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: not match up with every day Nevadams and that's why

364
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: you're seeing this huge, huge shift, Adam Laxalt. Everybody running

365
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: in Nevada. We got a lot of folks in that

366
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: state listing right now, Adam. If they want to help out,

367
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: if they want to be a part of your victory,

368
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: where do they go? Yeah, Adam Laxall dot com. You

369
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: know we already have the largest army of volunteers. We

370
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: need more. We got to match the Culinary Union at

371
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people that are knocking doors, and

372
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: we certainly need money to be able to match some

373
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: of the spend on TV. So again, Adam Laxel dot com,

374
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: this is not only to save the VATA. This is

375
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: the save America. We believe this is the fifty first

376
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: Senate seats. And you know we've got a lot of

377
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: work to do to save this country. Adam, God bless

378
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: let us know we can help. Thank you for being

379
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: with us. Thanks so much, appreciate it. So, I know

380
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: we're about to go off into the weekend, and it's

381
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: a time that you should be relaxing. Assuming you're not

382
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: working on the weekend, spend time with your family, thinking

383
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: about other things before you head off your weekend. Then

384
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: let me tell you the war for life is all day,

385
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: every day, and it is being waged right now in

386
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: this country. The forces of the left planned parenthood. You've

387
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: heard things recently. There's no such thing as a fetal heartbeat.

388
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: They're going to try to make at the state level,

389
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: abortion for all nine months of the pregnancy the law

390
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: in as many places as they absolutely possible can. It's

391
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: wrong and it's evil, and you can actually do something

392
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: to help. I know so many people who are pro

393
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: life in their own lives, which obviously is the first step.

394
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: But what are you doing to help others on that

395
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: path of righteousness? What are you doing to help women

396
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: who are faced with that decision to make sure they

397
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: make the right decision. I want to tell you about

398
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: an organization called Preborn. They have a mission that's as

399
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: important and powerful as anything you could ever imagine, saving

400
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: the lives of tens of thousands of babies. Now that

401
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: not grandiose talk. That is the mission. That's what they're

402
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: trying to do, and you can help them. This is

403
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: the only reason Preborn exists to save preborn babies lives.

404
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: Here's what they do. They offer free ultrasounds, they have

405
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: preborn pregnancy clinics where there's plenty of love and compassion

406
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: for pregnant women who are stressed, who have anxiety, who

407
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: have a difficult road ahead in their minds, but they

408
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: can choose life, and Preborn will help them to choose

409
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: life with these ultrasounds. It is so powerful, so effective.

410
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: A huge percentage of women who go in and have

411

Speaker 1: this ultrasound that are preborn pregnancy clinic, a huge majority

429
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: after another Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Welcome back everybody.

430
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck here, and she made it through the

431
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: crazy UN General Assembly, traffic and the Mayhem Clay side

432
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: note here, New York City should not be where the

433
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 1: UN is. First of all, the UN should not exist

434
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Second of all, if it's going to exist,

435
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: it should be in like Nova Scotia. You know they

436
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: still have it next week when I'm up there, or

437
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: will it be gone? I think it's You're good. After

438
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: this week, it'll pretty as it's yeah, it's it's good.

439
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: It's just this one week. It's crazy. But Roma dav

440
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: is here with us now. She fought her way through

441
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: the madness. She of course, is the founder of Dravi Strategy.

442
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: She was the deputy for Strategic Communications in the Trump

443
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: White House. Roma, how you doing. I'm fantastic. How is it?

444
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: You know? We do have we have ice cream questions.

445
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: We have so many questions, but I'll start with this one.

446
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: With Trump still in the headlines. Now, you saw the

447
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: ag earlier this week, you saw the weeks and weeks

448
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: of Marlago documents, all the hype from the media. What

449
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: was it like to be in that White House when

450
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: they were doing this stuff to you guys, when you

451
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: were still actually in the government, right, I mean Trump

452
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: is not even in the government anymore, but the lawyers

453
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: and the subpoenas and all the mess. Yeah, there's always

454
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: that moment of shock whenever the Democrats decide to have

455
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: another big lie, another big witch hunt. But then we

456
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: really just brushed it off and got back to work.

457
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump is the energizer bunny. We're all constantly

458
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: trying to keep up with him in the White House.

459
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: He's always working on something positive for the American people,

460
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: tax cuts, securing the border, getting more jobs back here

461
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 1: from overseas manufacturing, etc. So, you know, it really was

462
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: a fast paced environment, and we didn't stop and let

463
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: the Democrats distraction real quick. I mean, you talked to

464
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: the big guy himself and also people in Trump world.

465
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: What's your certainty, uh, that he's going to run again?

466
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: You know, if you would have asked me that question

467
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: two years ago, I'd say, I don't know. He has

468
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: a lot of options, but I just don't see the

469
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: day that we live in today, the where America is today.

470
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: I don't see a world that exists where he's going

471
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: to sit back and let someone else give it a go. Yeah,

472
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's so passionate about America. He's not gonna

473
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: he's not gonna give it up to chance. Romo Buck

474
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: and I talk a lot about, obviously where we are

475
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: as a country right now, and both of us thought

476
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: that Biden would be a bad president and that he

477
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: would make a lot of poor choices. I don't think

478
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: either of us expected that it would be this bad.

479
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: I mean to the point, Romo where it's almost impossible

480
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: to point to anything that Biden has made better. He

481
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: took over in January of twenty one. Did you expect

482
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: him to be this much of a disaster. Yeah, we

483
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: all expected him to be asleep at the wheel, which

484
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: is exactly what he is. He is fast asleep in

485
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: the basement somewhere, whether it's in Delaware, Pennsylvania, or in

486
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 1: the White House, who knows. But I actually was at

487
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: an event yesterday talking about conservative trade and investment, and

488
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: I paused for a moment to think, what has Joe

489
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: Biden done on trade? Because Donald Trump did USMCA, he

490
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: renegotiated NAFTA, I mean, he pulled out of the Paris Agreement.

491
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: There's so many things you can point to where he's

492
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: making Americans more secure and prosperous. Joe Biden hasn't done

493
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: a single thing. I mean, on the opposite hand, he's

494
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: literally trying to give money to Aron, of all people,

495
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: arguably one of our biggest adversaries ever. And you know

496
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: that's coming from a Persian Jew, right, So roma are yeah? No,

497
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say you mentioned Irn. Are you

498
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: paying attention to the protests there? Because I think it's

499
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: probably one of the things that is receiving far too

500
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: little amount of attention right now, to see Iranian women

501
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: rising up against their own government. It feels like our

502
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: media has mostly downplayed this. Have you been paying a

503
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: lot of attention to it? Sure? Of course. So my

504
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: father is from Iran. We are a Persian Jewish family.

505
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: I am half. He came to America to pursue the

506
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: American dream. Has given me and my family a tremendous life,

507
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: and you know it's really one of those things where

508
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: I think God every day that I'm an American citizen,

509
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: that I have the freedom, that I have the opportunity

510
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: to work my way up and work at the White

511
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: House of all places. There's no other country in the

512
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: world where you can have an immigrant come to a

513
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 1: country with absolutely nothing and end up working for the

514
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: leader of that nation. It just doesn't exist. There's tremendous

515
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: opportunity in America. And so I really pause on this.

516
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: What we're seeing overseas right now, what we're seeing in Iran,

517
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking. It's also very hopeful to see the Iranian people,

518
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: the Iranian women and men, frankly, that are standing up

519
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: for their freedom. It's not often here, and we're speaking

520
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: of Roma Daravi. Dravi Strategies is her communication shop. She

521
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: did strategic communications in the Trump White House. We don't

522
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: often give high five to CNN, but Clain I always

523
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: say credit where it's due. And Christiane Amanpour was supposed

524
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: to sit down with Iran's president and he basically stood

525
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: her up and then had a staffer come out and say,

526
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: the President of Iran will only do the interview with

527
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: you here in New York City. If you put a

528
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 1: headscarf on. To her credit, yes, she said no, And

529
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: I think that the symbolism there, I'm i Clay, I

530
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: throw her a high five on this one. No good

531
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: for her, I'm at roma. I mean, I bet you

532
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: feel you in stronger about that. But I thought it

533
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: was an incredibly strong moment for her. Absolutely, it is

534
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: a symbol to that nation and that they cannot, not

535
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: only can they not continue these barbaric ways of life,

536
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: these barbaric ways of treating an entire gender, a singular gender,

537
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: the female gender. Yeah, it's oppressive, I mean obvious, extremely oppressive,

538
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: extremely oppressive. And then to come to America, the land

539
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: of the Free, and tell a journalist he will only

540
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: sit down with you. How very um barbaric and Persian

541
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: and Iranian of him to not even do it himself,

542
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: and to be such a coward and have a sound.

543
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: We have a few switching to the far less less serious,

544
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: a few things to throw your way here. Um. First

545
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: of all, are you a James Bond fan? Ooh, James Bond?

546
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: You like James Bond? Who like my martinis? The best?

547
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: James Bond? How do you take your martini? There we go?

548
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite James Bond actor. Oh, I

549
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: don't know, but I heard there bringing in a new guy. Yeah, man,

550
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: that's right, Henry Cavill. They may be bringing in Henry Cavill.

551
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: That was one thing. And the other thing Clay and

552
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: I were talking about is if you only get one

553
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: ice cream flavor for the rest of your life, what

554
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: is the ice cream flavor? Okay, my Persians about to

555
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: show it would be a saffron pistachio ice cream pistachio.

556
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: We did not coordinate this. We've had two pistachio selections

557
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: out of three and I feel like I just need

558
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: to walk out of the studio today. And I think

559
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: that there was no collusions. There was no collusion, and

560
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about collusion? This is definitely collusion.

561
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: We need to have a four hundred million dollars investigation

562
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: into how this happened. Big Pistachio got to Buck and

563
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: to Roma. It is the best advertisement they've had in

564
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: decades to have both of you come out. Big Pistachio.

565
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: I do believe it is. It is a prime export

566
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: of Iran and has been for a ripe. Pistachio nuts

567
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: and Iranian exports saffron as well. I think I think

568
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm right on that America a super specific ice cream

569
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: flavor that she that she dropped there, Saffron pistachio. That's

570
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: like we've got that in, you know, in Manhattan. I

571
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: don't think I don't think we have that in Tennessee.

572
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he's around saying what exactly. I'd be honest.

573
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: It's a little la Well, Roman, Davi Dravi Strategies. Roma,

574

Speaker 1: Well let's go back and forth. That's because we've also

615
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: got lines lit a lot of people. Man, we've got

616
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: so much more show than we have time for today.

617
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna get through as much as we can. We'll

618
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: start with this one from Linda. She writes, HI, love

619
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: the show and never miss it. So Linda is a

620
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: woman of excellent taste and she's a paid no doubt.

621
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: I just have a simple question. Since Buck is a

622
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: native New Yorker and Clay is from Tennessee, why is

623
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: it that neither of you have the distinctive accents from

624
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: your part of the country. Just wondering, keep up the

625
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: great word. I'll answer from the New York perspective, and

626
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: then a Clay you can tell her about Tennessee. So

627
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: New York just like London. Those you know, London is

628
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: a metropolis with many accents contained within it. So what

629
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: people often think of Fauci, for example, Fauci actually has

630
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: a Brooklyn accent, which is a little similar to a

631
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: Staten Island accent but different, which is similar to a

632
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: New Jersey accent but different. There are different and by

633
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: the way, a lot of people in New Jersey at

634
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: Staten Island don't have those accents either, But those are

635
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: the regional specializations you get with those accents. In Manhattan,

636
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: where I grew up, there is no accent we have

637
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 1: whatever there's you know, the sort of broadcaster neutral mid

638
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: Atlantic accent is supposed to be. That's what I meant.

639
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: So I have a Manhattan accent. If anyone's wondering, Clay,

640
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: what about you? I attributed to when my voice changed.

641
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: I went to a school Martin Luther King in downtown

642
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: Ashville that had kids from all over the place, and

643
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: there was not a predominant Southern accent there. I would say,

644
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: in the central part of Nashville, there's less, maybe somewhat similar,

645
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: there's less of an accent. My parents. We had my

646
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: mom on the show, I don't think we've had my

647
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 1: dad on the show yet, but they have deep discs

648
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: at southern accent awesome, Like she should read she should

649
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: read books written about Tennessee on tape because your mom's

650
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: accent is off. They have very very deep Southern accent.

651
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: So I think I had a Southern accent before my

652
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: voice changed. But then when you're you know, eleven, twelve,

653
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: thirteen years old, you sound like the kids ultimately that

654
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: you're around, And that's what I attribute not having an

655
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: accent to. I also think one of the things that's

656
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: that's interesting about accents in general, everybody thinks they don't

657
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: have an accent, and then when they actually hear themselves,

658
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, you know how people get really uncomfortable if

659
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: we're used to it, because we hear our voices, we

660
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: know what they sound like. You don't ever sound like

661
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: what you think you sound like. Does that make sense?

662
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: If you've got done television before, or if you haven't

663
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: done radio and you go back and listen to it,

664
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: the pitch in your ear is different than the pitch

665
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: that expels itself for everyone else to be able to hear.

666
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: Because I used to hear from people all the time,

667
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't have an accent like actually, you got a

668
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: pretty strong accent. And I would love when I went

669
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: away to college in DC, I would come back to

670
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: Nashville and everybody would sound like they had a super

671
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,240
Speaker 1: Southern accent. And I could pick up a Southern accent

672
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: on anybody. It's usually the letter Oh, if you've grown

673
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: up in the South at all, just even if you

674
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: don't have much of one, you can tell a little

675
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: bit of a telltell giveaway. So next one up here

679
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: I heard you guys talk up the Prime Minister of Sweden,

680
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: Santa Meret. Now just to be clear, Michael, it's actually

681
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Finland. But honestly, man, close enough,

682
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 1: don't tell. The Only reason we know that it's because

683
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: of how good she looking she? You know, the Prime

684
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 1: Minister of Sweden is I have no idea. It's probably

685
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: a guy. I have no idea. Yeah, it could be

686
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: a guy. Is it a guy? I don't know? Is

687
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 1: there a wom but you missed Anna Pauline, a Luna

688
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: Conservative who is running for the thirteenth congressional district in

689
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 1: Florida and endorsed by Trump. She's former US military Google

690
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 1: her name. Oh my god, she's smoking and beyond the ten.

691
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: Now let me say why this is fun as a

692
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: friend of mine and as is her husband, who is

693
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: a former Special Forces operator. So don't want to mess

694
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: don't want to mess around. Just draw that out there.

695
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: But no, I mean, glaid, I joke around about this

696
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. And you know, we don't want to

697
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: get to you know who we have to have on.

698
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: You know who the expert is in congressional rankings, in

699
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: our friend Jesse Kelly. So we could have Jesse Kelly on,

700
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: because you will have a group of not trying to

701
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: be sexist, just objectively, some of the best looking female

702
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: politicians you have ever seen in this in this country

703
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: or any country coming in, all on the Republican side.

704
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: As far as I know, I don't know if any

705
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: of the Democrats I'd put in that category right now

706
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 1: off the top of my head. And they're all friends

707
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 1: of ours. Yeah, And you might say, okay, what's the

708
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: significance of that. A big reason for AOC's appeal is

709
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: she's an Instagram influencer who happened to get elected to Congress.

710
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: She's young and good looking. They're going to be if

711
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: you look at some of these polls coming out, a

712
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: lot of young, vibrant, good looking Republican women who I

713
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 1: think are going to be able to go toe to

714
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: toe with AOC, and AOC's not going to get as

715
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: much attention off being the youngest and best looking in Congress,

716
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: which frankly she does. Beauty is a form of power,

717
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: despite what the left says, they actually use it all

718
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: the time and was a form of power, and in

719
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: our instagram and social media obsessed world, it is now

720
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: more powerful in politics than ever before. I mean, you

721
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: go back to like the eighteen eighties politicians they all

722
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: have like giant mutton chops and they were not very looking.

723
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: Who no, no one cared, right, it didn't matter now.

724
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously there's a lot of things that were

725
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: different to gud you than now. People actually get a

726
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: real advantage from this. A lot of politicians on the right,

727
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 1: politicians on the left, you know, men and women both.

728
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the reason Kennedy got elected to a large

729
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,799
Speaker 1: extent was because he was incredibly good looking. I mean,

730
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 1: to your example, that great perfect historical residence of Nixon

731
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: versus Kennedy. Nixon wins for everybody who listens on the radio.

732
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: Kennedy smoked him for everybody who watched it on television,

733
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: same exact words. Just what is It's funny though, because

734
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: our conservative like female members of Congress, when guys on

735
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: the right are like, wow, yeah, this is a very

736
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: beautiful woman and very accomplished, they take it as a compliment. Clay,

737
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: you and I know if I say any left wingers

738
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: are hot, oh my gosh, media matters coming after me.

739
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: Dare you judge? The buck Fleet, Travis and Buck Sexton

740
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: on the front lines of truth
