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 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in. By welcome back in,

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean welcome in. It's the Monday edition Clay Travis

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. We appreciate all of you hanging out

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: with us. We hope you had fantastic weekends, and we

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: hope that you are not checking your four oh one

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: k as. The bidas touch everything that could be touched

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: by Joe Biden is leading to a route stock market

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: just so you know, down nearly seven hundred points. It

10
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: is now below where it was when Joe Biden took office.

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: And virtually every company out there is in the red

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: disaster afoot everywhere in the economy and beyond, and it's

13
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: gotten so bad. There's a lot of different stories that

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about. The January six hearings we're

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: rolling on. Those continue not in primetime thankfully this time,

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: but during the day. We have got the basic decision

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: by the media not to cover the Brett Kavanaugh assassination attempt.

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: I was with a good friend of mine over the weekend,

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: fairly plugged in guy. He didn't even know there had

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: been an assassination attempt against Brett Kavanaugh because he's not

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: watching the media every single day, and even if he was,

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: it barely got a blip of attention. We'll talk about that,

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,639
Speaker 1: but Buck, what I thought stood out the most over

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: this weekend. Democrats have stepped all over themselves in this

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: January sixth, which is the default third impeachment trial for

26
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, but they are now coming for Joe Biden.

27
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: And there were stories in the Washington Post, there were

28
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: stories in Politico, there were stories in the New York Times.

29
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: It felt very organized, It felt very intentional to basically

30
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: let it be known that there are a lot of

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Democrats that are jumping off the Joe Biden express to

32
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: the extent and expressed to anywhere other than disaster and

33
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: saying he cannot be the nominee in twenty twenty four.

34
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: And I think that is only going to grow as

35
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: we are now five months away from what is going

36
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: to be an all time midterm shellacking. Are you surprised

37
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: that it's suddenly happening, I mean, you know, it's uh.

38
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: It to me is interesting because it's going on right

39
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: in the middle of jan six and most of the

40
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: discussion over the weekend was about Biden trying to get

41
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: pushed out of the presidency. It's remarkable when you hear

42
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: how open they are, I guess about it at this point.

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: It's also fascinating that that we're supposed to be completely

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: enthralled with this. January sixth, I watched the whole first one,

45
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: right it's still going on right now as we're on

46
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: air of the second episode, so we'll be, as Clay said,

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: rolling on are picking up important parts of it for you,

48
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: But I've learned nothing new from any of it. And

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: in the background of this there, let's be clear, they're

50
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: making a case that Donald Trump should be indicted for

51
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: conspiracy to overthrow the United States government, and there's even

52
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: been some more open discussion of that. You mentioned the

53
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: case of people are talking about. The House Committee on

54
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: Sunday had a few of its members saying Clay that

55
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: they had enough evidence for the Justice Department. This is

56
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: separate from Congress to consider a criminal indictment against Donald

57
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Trump for a seeking to overturn his twenty twenty election defeat.

58
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: I find that utterly fascinating. First of all, I don't

59
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: think that they have the gall to do it, but

60
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: I think that they certainly are dishonest enough that they

61
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: would do it right. So it's a question whether they're

62
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: willing to deal with the political consequences they're pushing. On

63
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: the one hand, the prospect of maybe prosecuting a former

64
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: president for nonsense, as we know. And on the other hand,

65
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: your point about Joe Biden and all the undermining and

66
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: all the behind the scenes cloak and dagger in the

67
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, in the smoke filled the rooms among Democrats,

68
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: probably vague filled rooms these days. Here is AOC when

69
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: she was asked, now, I think AOC is the spiritual

70
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: leader of the Democratic Party, right. I think that she's

71
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: a a figurehead for the Democrat left that has more

72
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: power and sway in the party than anyone else, even

73
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: though she's just a member of Congress. Here she is,

74
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: and whether she would support Biden, you know, if the

75
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: president chooses to run again in twenty twenty four. I mean,

76
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm focused on winning this majority right

77
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: now and preserving a majority this year in twenty twenty two,

78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: So we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

79
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: But but I think if if the president has a vision,

80
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: and that's something certainly we're all willing to entertain an

81
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: examine when the when the time comes, that's not a yes, yeah,

82
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think we should endorse when we get

83
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: to it. But I believe that the president has been

84
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: doing a very good job so far, and you know,

85
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: should he run again? I think that I you know,

86
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: I think it's it's we'll take a look at it.

87
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: Can I just look at it? This is something she

88
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: says of the incumbent president of her party running again,

89
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: is quote something we would entertain. I mean, and by

90
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: the way, we are still relatively early in his term,

91
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: which is why when this onslaught happens, when this red

92
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: storm arises, and we're about five less than five months

93
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 1: away from this occurring. I don't think there's any way.

94
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm increasingly of the opinion I don't think there's any

95
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: way that they are going to put Joe Biden back

96
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: on the ticket. Buck and certainly listen to this from

97
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: Brett Bayer. He says Biden's recent media blitz, remember the argument,

98
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: and this is not good for Biden. The argument was, Hey,

99
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: the reason why he has such low approval ratings is

100
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 1: because we haven't gotten out enough and let Biden be Biden.

101
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: That was the argument. That they were trying to make. Hey,

102
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: it's not all the disastrous decisions. It's not inflation, it's

103
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: not the rate surging, the border being a collapse, stock

104
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: market collapsing all of a sudden, interest rates soaring, And

105
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: it's just that Joe Biden hasn't gotten to get out

106
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: and share his common touch with Americans. Listen to Brett

107
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: Bayer say, actually, the more Biden gets out and talks,

108
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: the less likely Democrats are to want to support him.

109
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: Listen to this. The whisper is now much louder in

110
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: just the past few weeks, and the president's public efforts,

111
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: including that Jimmy Kimmel appearance, have not helped anything. In fact,

112
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: they've only increased what has been happening in Democratic circles.

113
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: This is not These are not, you know, Republicans, These

114
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: are not conservatives like lobbing grenades. Rhetorically, they are Democrats

115
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: saying we have a real issue, a major issue, in

116
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: the words of David Axelrod So I expect that to increase,

117
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: and depending what happens in the midterms, and if the

118
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: election were held tomorrow, it would be a massive red way.

119
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of time to before November but there's

120
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: not a lot of time to steer the ship of

121
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: state to the aircraft carrier away from inflation and the

122
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: problems that they're facing. So this buck is to me. Initially,

123
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: when you and I and other people would come on

124
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: and we'd say, man, this guy looks incompetent. He can't

125
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: answer questions, he has thoroughly past his prime. Democrats would

126
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: come out and they would say, that's really unfair to

127
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: even question Joe Biden's cognitive ability in any sense of

128
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: the word. And then he goes out and does a

129
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: few interviews, even soft lay up interviews like Jimmy Kimmel

130
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: Late Night where they had to go to commercial break

131
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: because he wasn't making any sense where he's wearing that

132
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: mask as they pull back the curtain, and now Democrats

133
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: themselves are effectively saying, you know what, these guys are right,

134
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: He's got nothing left. If Joe Biden were the person

135
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: that Democrats pretended he was to get him elected, not

136
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: only would he have taken an entirely different approach to

137
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: his presidency, but you would think, at least at this point,

138
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: his approach would be Guys, things were crazy with COVID.

139
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: Let's come together as a country. Let's bring this one

140
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: down the middle. Let's let's let's all unify, let's, you know,

141
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: to try to pose as Americans Grandpa essentially right, because

142
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: that was what we were offered whenever were scared during

143
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: during COVID. He's gonna be it's gonna be normalcy, right,

144
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: So instead what you have, and we've been saying this

145
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: for a long time here, Joe Biden's actually a nasty fellow.

146
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: He takes really unfair not just pot shots at Trump

147
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: and other people on the Republican side in all you know,

148
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: in politics, but the whole pandemic of the unvaccinate. I mean,

149
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: he's been really a vicious, nasty old man his entire presidency,

150
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: and I would argue his entire political career. He just

151
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: does the grinning and shaking hands thing for the cameras,

152
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: but it's gone beyond even people like you and me

153
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: who do this for a living figuring out how, and

154
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: of course the American people are paying attention. I'm vaguely

155
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: familiar with this guy. I know, he's super famous among

156
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: everyone under thirty. Jake Paul, you probably know more he does, Yeah,

157
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: he does. You know, he's like a YouTube star and

158
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: for people listening Clay as kids. He always talks about this.

159
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: The longest line I ever saw in New York City

160
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: in person, and I am not kidding. The longest line

161
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: I ever saw, including the opening of Star Wars movies

162
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: everything else, was actually to see a YouTube star who

163
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: did makeup tutorials, blocks and blocks and blocks. So these

164
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: people have a lot of influence. Jake Paul has four

165
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: million Twitter followers, is a young guy. I don't know

166
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: much about him. Here is his tweet from over the weekend.

167
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: Biden accomplishments highest gas prices, worst inflation, plummeting crypto prices,

168
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: highest rent prices, ever created new incomprehensible language. If you're

169
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 1: reading this and voted for Biden and you still don't

170
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: regret it, then you are the American problem. By the way,

171
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: A plus ten out of ten for Jake Paul. He

172
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: sees it, he gets it. I will tell you this,

173
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: My kids get almost all of their information from YouTube.

174
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: So if you are out there listening right now and

175
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: you've got grandkids or you've got kids, the odds that

176
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: they look up to a YouTube personality. This is somebody

177
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: who's not on CNN or MSNBC or Fox News or

178
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: ESPN or Fox Sports or anything. They watch and trust

179
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 1: these YouTube personalities, Like fifty years ago, people watched and

180
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: trust Walter Cronkite. And so it sounds funny when you're

181
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: pointing out this Jake Paul thing, but the Jake Paul audience.

182
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: If Joe Biden is losing Instagram influencers and he's losing

183
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: the YouTube generation, which he is, I mean, this is

184
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: reflective of the overall numbers. Young people are abandoning Joe

185
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: Biden at rates far faster than older people. And this

186
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: is emblematic to me. I don't even know, but I mean, basically,

187
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's only base at this point buck is Black people,

188
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: who are right sixty five percent approving rate, which is

189
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: way low for the black approval rate of a Democrat

190
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: president usually, and woke white people. That's basically super highly educated,

191
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: woke white people. That's the only people that Joe Biden

192
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: has a positive approval rating on right now. That's it

193
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: in the entire country. They've lost everybody else. Now we

194
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: get into how do they play all of this. I mean,

195
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: the truth, the obvious truth of the catastrophic Biden presidency

196
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: so far is that as as really obvious and weak

197
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: and JV as these hearings are on Capitol Hill, it

198
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: is now the case. I don't think anybody would really

199
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: argue otherwise that the American people focusing on anything other

200
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: than when it comes to politics, the price of gas,

201
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: the price of food, the price of rent, the economy,

202
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: the stock market, crime in cities, etc. Is better for Democrats.

203
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: Your day to day reality is something that is going

204
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: to drag down the Democrat Party into the depths of

205
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: the biggest election loss that they have seen. Would I

206
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: would assume now, or I should say I would guess

207
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: in decades, maybe ever? It could maybe ever. I mean,

208
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: I think we're looking at potentially a historic It may

209
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: not be as we've talked about Buck. You may not

210
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: get the total numbers because the Democrats lost seats in

211
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election, so you don't necessarily have the

212
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: same swing, But in terms of number of votes that

213
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: could go to Republicans versus Democrats, I think it's possible

214
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: that twenty twenty two is the biggest loss in the

215
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: history of the Democrat Party. I do think that there's

216
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: a desperation, a quiet desperation among the Democrats who are

217
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: really calling the shots. And and Clay, I just I

218
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: wonder I haven't asked you this yet. Do you think

219
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: that the Democrats would actually consider Now, when I see

220
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: the Democrats, it would obviously come from Merrick Garlands DOJ.

221
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: But let's be honest. Merrick Garlands DOJ is the same

222
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: one that one won't clear the protesters even after an

223
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: assassination attempt on a Supreme Court justice's lawn. Yeah, won't

224
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: clear them had parents as domestic terrorist because they didn't

225
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: like what was going on in you know, in their

226
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: school districts. Do you think that they may actually try

227
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: to bring up Donald Trump on charges? Do you think

228
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: they have the golf in the radio business. We'll call

229
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: this a tease and we will discuss whether we think

230
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: Merrick Garland has the testicular fortitude to potentially pursue such.

231
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: It would be a it would be a clear decision

232
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: of politics. And everyone knows that they're so It seems insane, right,

233
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: they are so desperate, though I know that this is

234
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: something that they're at least considering. We'll get into that.

235
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: A second folk show it up somewhere in a suit

236
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: and tie can be a little bit stifling. You won't

237
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: see Clay and I in a tie very often, that's

238
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: for sure. But you know your footwear. It doesn't have

239
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: to be stifling. It can be super comfortable but also

240
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: looks slick. That's why you need Wolf and Shepherd dress shoes.

241
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: You look the part without the pain. They were first

242
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: discovered by professional athletes who have to show up dress

243
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: for success, as you know, and they're on their feet

244
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: for hours at a time. Wolf and Shepherd Shoes where

245
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: their solution to comfort but still looking good. The founder

246
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: of the brand is a former track athlete and designer

247
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: who brought athletic shoe innovation to dress shoes, including their

248
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: first style, the Crossover, which has been super successful. It's

249
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: a business meets athletic shoe that features full grain Italian

250
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: leather on top and an athletic soul on the bottom.

251
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: This cross functional design provides all day comfort and style,

252
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: making the Crossover game for anything. I own three pairs

253
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: of Wolf and Shepherd shoes. I love them. I've loved

254
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: them for years just so you know. And whenever I

255
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: have to wear a suit, whenever I gotta dress up,

256
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,440

264
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: Welcome in our number three Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

265
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us a couple hours.

266
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,359
Speaker 1: In the books here, we've talked about many different issues,

267
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: including the fact that everybody in the Democrat Party suddenly

268
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: turning on Joe Biden. They are not finding him useful anymore,

269
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: and there's suddenly a recognition as his approval ratings fall

270
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: well below forty percent of the coming red wave in

271
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: the midterms, and the fact that Biden would be eighty

272
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: two years old when he was inaugurated for a second term.

273
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: In the event that he was going to win, as

274
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: David Axelrod said, he'd be closer to ninety than he

275
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: would be to eighty at the end of a second term.

276
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: And so everybody is suddenly turning on Biden. That doesn't mean, however,

277
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is not still the focus. And Buck

278
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: made the point, and I think it's right that January

279
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: sixth is a distraction that is designed to try to

280
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: draw as much attention away from everything that's going on.

281
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: That is a disaster right now for the Democrats. In fact,

282
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: as we speak to you right now, the stock market

283
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: under Joe Biden has now hit a new low during

284
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: his tenure, and the stock market itself is down. The

285
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: TAO is nearly seven hundred points, getting close to going

286
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: back under thirty thousand. All of this obviously inflicting a

287
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: great deal of pain when you combine it with inflation,

288
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: when you combine it with all of the economic challenges

289
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: that are out there. And so not only is January

290
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: sixth going on, but they are trying to keep anyone

291
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: who wants to point out that January sixth was not

292
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: a particularly unique riot in this country. In fact, we

293
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: had an entire summer of riots. And here's some data

294
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: for you. I shared this over the weekend, Buck, but

295
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: I want to hit you with several different things here.

296
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: January sixth was a one time riot. There were over

297
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: five hundred. However, BLM riots lasted seven months, over twenty

298
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: murders that are attributed to the BLM riots themselves, hundreds

299
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: of small businesses destroyed in the BLM riots, one hundred

300
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: and fifty plus federal buildings damaged, somewhere in the billions

301
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: of dollars in damages between one and two billion. Over

302
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: two thousand police officers assaulted protesters were bailed out despite

303
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: the fact that they had been looting, violent behavior, and

304
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: it was encouraged by the Democrat Party. Most in the

305
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: media are not paying attention to it. The January sixth

306
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: hearing did around a million and a half dollars in damage.

307
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: They're still protesters that are in solitary confinement. I donated

308
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: some money for their legal defense. It's crazy to think about.

309
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: So you're not even allowed to have this conversation in

310
00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: larger society. In fact, on Friday after basically we finished

311
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: the show, the Washington football team they're now called the

312
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders. Many of you will know them as the

313
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins. Find their defensive coordinator, Jack del Rio, one

314
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars for asking a simple question, why are

315
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: we focused on January sixth and not talking at all

316
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: about the BLM protests and Buck This goes to the

317
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: argument that I think you bought in now as you've

318
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: kind of paid attention more since we've been doing the show.

319
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 1: The sports media is more left wing than any outlet

320
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: than the political media are, which is pretty crazy to

321
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: think about. And what is designed to do when you're

322
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: finding Jack del Rio one hundred thousand dollars for merely

323
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: asking the question about why we're treating January six different

324
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: than all the BLM riots is that's a question. The

325
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins slash commanders said this in the statement that

326
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: isn't even allowed to be asked. That's a discussion that

327
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: isn't even able to be broached, and so bad that

328
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: he got fined one hundred thousand dollars, he had to

329
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: delete his Twitter, and he may end up losing his

330
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: job before all is said and done, just because he

331
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: asked the question, why are we talking about January sixth

332
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: standing alone and not the hundreds of riots that took

333
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: place prior to January sixth? Not only the hundreds of riots,

334
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: but also let's look at how election denial is something

335
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: the Democrats engaged in for four years with the Russia

336
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: Collusion law. They had a special counsel, they had saturation

337
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: level media coverage, and it wasn't as though they were close.

338
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't as though it was mostly true. It was

339
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: entirely untrue, the entire notion and the Democrats. People often

340
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: forget this. Now, in twenty seventeen, towards twenty eighteen, something

341
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: like seventy percent of Democrats thought the Russians actually hacked

342
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: hacked into a lot of them still believe it right,

343
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: but there was a solid majority in polling that you

344
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: would see of Democrats who believed that the Russians actually

345
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: hacked in in some capacity to the election. They would say, now,

346
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: you can say hacked as kind of a broad term,

347
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: but the Russians didn't hack the election. This was crazy talk.

348
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: But let's remember that not only are we seeing mister

349
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: del Rio ye who is by far my favorite defensive

350
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 1: coordinator in the National Football League, also the only one

351
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: that I can name, but he is my favorite, But

352
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: not only is mister del Rio punished for talking about

353
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: an issue of politics, an issue that goes right to

354
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: the heart of what we're supposed to have defended as

355
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: as citizens. Not just from the government but as a

356
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: general societal freedom. If you said the wrong things, I mean,

357
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: I remember this, right after the election, you would get

358
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: shut down on social media. In fact, there were some

359
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: right leaning outlets out there where you were not allowed

360
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: to even make certain arguments about what had gone on

361
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: with the election to this day. I mean, I just

362
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: recently I shared a link about an interview with denishta

363
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: sus on his two thousand Mules that I did with

364
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: him on TV, and my Facebook page got effectively shut

365
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: down after that. Right, So they keep on saying that

366
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: we have to listen to them on this stuff. Clay

367
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: on January sixth, We have to take these people seriously

368
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: when they claim our democracy was under assault. There's been

369
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: no accountability for the Russia collusion hoax they perpetrated, and

370
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: no accountability political or otherwise for the hundreds of riots

371
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: that you just cited that put the twenty twenty election

372
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: in a state of duress, which also should be remembered

373
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: by everybody. Stores were boarded up and people were terrified

374
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: in case Joe Biden lost. It's not the way it's

375
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: supposed to be in this country. And that is entirely

376
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: on the Democrats. And by the way, I want to

377
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: read a couple of these sentences because I think they're

378
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: staggering from what the Washington commander said when they find

379
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio one hundred thousand dollars. As we saw

380
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: last night in the hearings, what happened in the Capitol

381
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: was an act of domestic terrorism. This is a statement

382
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: from head Coach Ron Rivera. This is I'm reading from it.

383
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: A group of citizens attempted to overturn the results of

384
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: a free and fair election, and as a result, lives

385
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: were lost and the Capitol building was damaged. By the way,

386
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: the only life that was lost was Ashley Babbitt because

387
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: she was shot by a Capitol police officer. There were

388
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: not lives lost. There was a life lost, and it

389
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: was because of a shooting from a police officer of

390
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: a protester. Yes, Ashley Babbitt shot in the neck through

391
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: a door. Everybody, Yes, that's right. And this is crazy,

392
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: like it feels like such unbelievable propaganda that I wanted

393
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: to read some of these quotes. Coach del Rio understands

394
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: the distinction between the events of that dark day and

395
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: peaceful protest, which are a hallmark of our democracy. The

396
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: BLM protests were not peaceful. This is a lie. This

397
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: is what is being shared from the NFL. He does

398
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: have the right to voice his opinion. However, words have consequences,

399
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: and his words hurt a lot of people in our community.

400
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: I want to make it clear this is what the

401
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: redskin said, Buck, the commanders, whatever you want to call him,

402
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: that our organization will not tolerate any equivalency between those

403
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 1: who demanded justice in the wake of George Floyd's murder

404
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: and the actions of those on January sixth who sought

405
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: to topple our government. I gotta say the actions of

406
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: the BLM protesters were, by all objective measures that I

407
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: just shared with you worse if you want to argue, Hey,

408
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: which was worse a few hours of a riot that

409
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: I believe people should be prosecuted for or seven months

410
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: of hundreds of riots. Buck, I'm gonna go with the

411
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: seven months of hundreds of riots. Now, some people might

412
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: disagree with me, but the idea that you're not even

413
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: able to argue about the difference in treatment for these situations.

414
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris was harboring in favor of raising money, did

415
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: or the rioters yes, in Minneapolis who burned a police

416
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: station to the ground, who were including the stores of people.

417
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: And one of the things you always know about the

418
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: lawless and deeply unethical left is the Democrat Party will

419
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: either ignore or excuse the looting that happens when there's

420
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: a moment of political sensitivity. For the left, it's oh, well,

421
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: it was a mostly peaceful protest, never mind the assaults

422
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: that some of the rioters engaged in against police. They

423
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: were trying and I remember this because I was covering it,

424
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: and I was, you know, furious at how little this

425
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: attention this was getting in the national media. They were

426
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: using lasers, specifically Portland, to try to blind the federal

427
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: officers that the Trump administration sent to help with the

428
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: defense of a federal courthouse that Psycho Biden voters were

429
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: trying to burn to the ground. I mean, I'm gonna

430
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: tell you this, if I thought somebody was trying to

431
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: blind me and I had a sidearm, I would feel

432
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: justified in drawing down on them. It's not okay to

433
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: try to blind somebody. Buck. In my hometown of Nashville,

434
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: protesters tried to burn down and it didn't get a

435
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: lot of attention because there was so much chaos going

436
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: on elsewhere. They tried to burn down the main Nashville

437
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 1: courthouse right in the center of downtown. They were there

438
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: was nobody to stop them. They were breaking windows, they

439
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: were throwing explosive and incendiary devices inside of the building

440
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: in an effort to burn it down. And the idea

441
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: that all of that occurred, and to my knowledge, there's

442
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: never been a hearing on it. There's never been an

443
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: investigation to try to figure out where did the fund

444
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: can come from that led to all of this. I

445
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: want to play I mean to me, when the Republicans

446
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: take back the House and the Senate, there should be

447
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: hearings on both. But I just want to play I

448
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: don't know if you even heard it, Buck, I just

449
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: want to play you this audio Jack del Rio, what

450
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 1: he said that cost him one hundred thousand dollars. I

451
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: just want everybody out there to listen to it. In

452
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: the event that you didn't hear it, listen to this.

453
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: Let's get right down to it. What did I ask

454
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: a simple question, why are we not looking into those things?

455
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: If we're gonna talk about it, why are we not

456
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: looking into those things? Because it's kind of hard for

457
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: me to say. I can realistically look at it. I

458
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: see the images on TV. People's livelihoods are being destroyed,

459
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: businesses are being burned down, no problem. And then we

460
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: have a dust up at the Capitol. Nothing burned down,

461
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: and we're not gonna talk about it. We're gonna make

462
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: that a major deal. I just think it kind of

463
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: two standards, and if we apply the same standard and

464
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna reasonable with each other, let's have a discussion.

465
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: That's all it was. Does Jack del Rio have his

466
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,479
Speaker 1: own jersey play? Because I'm gonna buy it and do

467
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: the show at it buck As a guy who doesn't

468
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time necessarily in sports, you listen

469
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: to that. A hundred thousand dollars he got fined for

470
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: saying what I just played for all of you out there.

471
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: It bobbles my mind. It wasn't irresponsible, it wasn't offensive,

472
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't reckless, it wasn't untrue. It was entirely reasonable. Yes,

473
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: and he's fined one hundred. It's not even like you

474
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: and I are hitting here saying we know what he

475
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: meant and his intentions with what No, what he said

476
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: is completely I mean I would say that and think, well,

477
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good radio segment. I just did, I mean,

478
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: we just I mean, it's imminently reasonable. And what it's

479
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: being done buck is they're telling everyone who is in

480
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: the world of sports, if you share any opinion that

481
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: isn't far left wing, there are going to be consequences.

482
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: And frankly, look, the Washington franchise has been an embarrassment

483
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: for a long time. They can't win any games, but

484
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: this might be, in my opinion, the most embarrassing thing

485
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: that they have done in twenty five years in the

486
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: DC football franchise, which is saying something. The summer session

487
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: for learning at Hillsdale College has started. No not on

488
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: campus online. That's where Hillsdale College has connected with millions

489
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: of us with their learning and exploration of topics and people.

490
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: Some thirty online video series to date, with a new

491
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: one ready for you to learn from. Hillsdale's new free

492
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: online course is titled C. S. Lewis on Christianity. C. S.

493
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: Lewis was a master addressing life's most important questions through

494
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: vivid language that's entertaining and fascinating. You may know Lewis

495
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: as the author of the Chronicles of Narnia. Well, he

496
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: had a great way with words, and it showed in

497
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: his ability to communicate and inspire. In fact, his book

498
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: Mere Christianity began as a series of radio messages back

499
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: in the day. Go online to watch the trailer video

500
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: of C. S. Lewis on Christianity and sign up for

501
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: this new free online course at Clay and Buck for

502
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: Hillsdale dot com. That's Clay and Buck fo Hillsdale dot com.

503
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: The city's police union says, not only it's this dropping

504
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: officers on the streets in New York City alarming, but

505
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: it's also a major threat to public safety as crime

506
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: continues to rise. More than fifteen hundred NYPD officers have

507
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: either resigned or retired just this year. Those numbers are

508
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: up thirty eight percent compared to data from twenty twenty one,

509
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: and it puts the department on track to have the

510
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: biggest loss of manpower in decades. Welcome back to Clay

511
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: and Buck. You heard that there from Fox supporter Alexis

512
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: McAdams about fifteen hundred members of the NYPD resigning or

513
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: retiring this year alone. I spoke to a friend who

514
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: a long time officer was retired now. Last night he

515
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: said that his friends who are still in say that

516
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: recruitment is also way down. So it's not just you

517
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: have a huge surge in the in many cases the

518
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: most seasoned and experienced officers of the whole forty thousand

519
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: some strong some odd strong force, but you also have

520
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: a very hard time getting new officers to join. Part

521
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: of this is obviously the movement not only to defund

522
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: police but to disrespect police that has grown. I think

523
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: widely in the popular culture that the Democrats pander too

524
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: because they're gross, because they want to pretend the problem

525
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: in society is not the criminal, but is the cop

526
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: who's trying to police the streets to keep us safe.

527
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: And I think one thing that Clay and I have

528
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: talked about we'd like to like to make sure we

529
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: keep this in mind going forward as well, is when

530
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: officers fall in the line of duty, why doesn't it

531
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: get more of a discussion in the media. Why is

532
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: it that I'm I'm almost certainly the first person to

533
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: tell you about County Sheriff's Deputy first Class Glenn Hilliard

534
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: of Maryland died hour hours after he shot trying to

535
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 1: make an arrest in Pittsville, Maryland. Suspect is in custody.

536
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: By the way, Deputy Hilliard leaves behind a wife and

537
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: three children. Would have been forty two. Next week, Any NFL,

538
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: NBA or Major League Baseball players going to call for

539
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: a moment of silence, going to write Deputy Hilliard's name

540
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: on their helmet or on their wrists band or you

541
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: name it. Why don't we He was, by the way,

542
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: an African American police officer, I might add, died for

543
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: his country, for his community. Why isn't his name revered?

544
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: Why aren't we talking about the heroes, Clay. It's a

545
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: fantastic question, and I think it is a testament to

546
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: how lost these leagues have become. That police, in the

547
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: eyes of many who work at the league, who play

548
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: for the leagues, who coach in the leagues, have become

549
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: the enemy. Now I should tell you the amount of

550
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: people reaching out after the Jack del Rio's story that

551
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: were furious, players, coaches substantial. And I think that this

552
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: is the kind of the question that I was asking you, Buck,

553
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, prayers and for every police officer

554
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: out there, this show I hope supports police more so

555
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: than almost anyone in media. That's our goal. We respect

556
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: you guys, many of you are listening and girls who

557
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: are out there trying to make our streets safer. But

558
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: I think what's going on is there are so many

559
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: people who are based in New York in LA that

560
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: have no idea what the rest of the country is thinking.

561
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons I ask you that question

562
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: about the morning after the Red Wave. I think Democrats

563
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: are going to double down on their craziness, and I

564
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: think the result is going to be not only a

565
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: red wave in twenty twenty two, but I think a

566
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: red wave is going to carry Republican back to the

567
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: White House in twenty twenty four. And I think it's

568
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: going to be a large degree based on crime and

569
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: wanting to put police back on our streets to be

570
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: able to do their jobs. Inflation is outpacing wage growth.

571
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: Are you getting an eight percent raise this year? A

572
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: lot of people aren't, because that's what the inflation statistics

573
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: are reflecting. It's the highest it's been in over forty years.

574
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: Inflation rates of eight percent or worse can be massively

575
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: detrimental to so many household budgets out there. That's why

576
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: you need to make sure that you have the right

577
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,920

588
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: having Buck Sexton show. It's painful. I know it's painful

589
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: to be looking at the stock market in the last year,

590
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: particularly painful, Buck, when I feel and I'm not even

591
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: kidding about this, I feel like you and I would

592
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: have been better at advising Joe Biden on the economy

593
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: than anybody who was actually advising Joe Biden on the economy,

594
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: because if you just listen to this show, we have

595
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: nailed a lot of what was coming and a lot

596
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: of the threats that are out there. And when I

597
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: hear some of these guys giving their opinions on the economy,

598
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't make me feel better. So this is Biden's

599
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: economic advisor, Jared Bernstein. The SMP five hundred has officially

600
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: entered a bear market. The market has for the last

601
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: year been a disaster. The market is now down for

602
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's entire tenure. That is, if you had bought

603
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: stock on the day that Joe Biden was inaugurated because

604
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: you thought that Joe Biden was going to lead us

605
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: back to an economic revitalization the likes of which we

606
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: hadn't seen before, then you have lost money over the

607
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: last eighteen months. But it's important to know. According to

608
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: Jared Bernstein, the Biden administration, they don't pay attention to

609
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: the daily wiggles of the stock market. Listen to this.

610
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: First of all, we don't really pay too much attention

611
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: to daily wiggles, But I think the broader trend is

612
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: of course something of great interest to us. First of all,

613
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: while most stock ownership is concentrated among the very wealthiest,

614
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: I think eighty percent of the value is held by

615
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: the top ten percent, there are still a lot of

616
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: people with retirement accounts, so we have to be mindful

617
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: of that. But I think the key thing here is

618
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: from the perspective of the Federal Reserve. If you look

619
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: at tightening financial conditions which are embedded in these equity returns.

620
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: If you look at the ten year yield on the

621
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: treasury bond, that's a three point twenty seven. If you

622
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: look at the slowing in the houses market where you

623
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: see cooling there, all of that suggests that the FEDS

624
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: actions are taking effect. I mean, first of all, we

625
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: should make daily wiggles a famous lampoonable phrase, because when

626
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: the daily wiggle every day goes the same direction, it

627
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 1: ain't a daily wiggle. It's called a collapse. All right,

628
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: Maybe feel better to have an economic advisor talking about

629
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: daily wiggles out there on television. It used to be

630
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: that I could say, my money don't jiggle, jiggle, it folds.

631
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know if anyone, I don't know how

632
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: many people are on TikTok out there, but that's from

633
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: a rap song. But my money's not folding these days

634
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: because there's less of it, because we all have less

635
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: of our money. Yeah, And I just I mean, when

636
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: you have the top guys out there and they won't

637
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: they won't accept responsibility either. And listen to Biden here,

638
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he talked outside of Air Force one in

639
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: LA and he consistently is saying Russia's invade has caused

640
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: gas prices to be where they are, even though Buck,

641
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 1: if you look at charts and you look at the

642
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 1: Joe Biden administration, gas was pretty daggone expensive before anything

643
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: happened in Ukraine, lit all over one hundred days ago.

644
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: But Biden is still peddling that wide. So here's the thing,

645
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: here's why the gas price situation makes Democrats so upset.

646
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: There is no spinning of it, and there is no

647
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: hiding from it, and that's something that they're not used to. Right.

648
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: What's going on the southern border. Southern border is a disaster,

649
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: It is lawless. We have more people coming into the

650
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: country legally than ever before. If you have reporters, they

651
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: are sorry. If you don't have reporters, they're covering it

652
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: and you don't make an effort to tell everybody day

653
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: in and day out. By the way, I agree with you,

654
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: I think we should have on different channels. I think

655
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: there should have been arguing it. Yea A counting. What

656
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 1: would you call it? A little like a ticker, you know,

657
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 1: it's lack of a better way to describe it, that

658
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: would say how many illegals this month? How many eagles

659
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: for the year, So people really know if everyone's fine

660
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: with this the Democrat Party, fine, what's the problem? People

661
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: should know about this, But you can hide that. People

662
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: in this country drive, they need gas and the price

663
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: is the price for as much as they want to say.

664
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: And it's so pathetic to oh the gas companies, Oh,

665
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: the gas companies just suddenly decided to gouge everybody. When

666
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: Biden's president, when Trump was president, the gas companies were humanitarians.

667
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 1: You know, they didn't want to gouge everybody. Their arguments

668
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: are so stupid, no one really believes them. But they're desperate,

669
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: so they're just throwing stuff out there to make noise.

670
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: They cannot hide from the price of gas, and they

671
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: know it is a truism of American politics. People don't

672
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: like high gas prices, and they blame the people in charge.

673
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: And in this case, they should blame the people in charge.

674
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: I agree and listen, by the way, if you're frustrated

675
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: Joe Biden blaming Vladimir Putin as he just did, is

676
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: not going to make you feel any better. This was Biden,

677
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: by the way, in la talking about the fact that gas,

678
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 1: as you well know as you listen to us out

679
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: there across the country, has now crossed five dollars a gallon,

680
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: the highest price that any of us living have ever

681
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: had to pay for gas per gallon in the history

682
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: of the United States. Here's Biden saying, it's not really

683
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: our fault. So outrageous was the war and Ukraine's cussing,

684
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: And we're trying very hard to make sure that we

685
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: can weither significantly increase the number of bowls of oil.

686
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 1: About our being pumped out of the wood reserve, we'd

687
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: have got two hundred and forty thousand barrels as well

688
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: coming from other nations. We're gonna keep pushing up. It's

689
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: gonna pushing. Do you have any sense, Buck that Joe

690
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: Biden one understands anything at this point. There's a video

691
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: while we're live on the air, Biden, of course went

692
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 1: to his home in Delaware's Beach Home for the weekend.

693
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: He showed back up on Monday, first day of the week,

694
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 1: twelve to thirty Eastern lands at the White House to

695
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: walk inside. Now, I understand you can say, well, the

696
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: President's always working, you know, it doesn't matter where he is.

697
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: I think the message that you send when you show

698
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: up on Monday at the White House, where your government

699
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 1: is centrally located, at twelve thirty, is not a good

700
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: message to be sending. Right. You can't have the optics

701
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 1: matter sometimes and not other times. Right. You can't have

702
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Joe Biden wearing a mask backstage at Jimmy Kimmel only

703
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: to take it off for the cameras to show everybody

704
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: I was wearing a mask, and then say the fact

705
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: that he shows up for work Monday after lunchtime at

706
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: a time you would be one thing. If the economy

707
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: was amazing and people were feeling really good, it would

708
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: be one thing. You know, maybe Joe wanted to play

709
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: a little extra golf because he's celebrating too, like all

710
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: the rest of us. The economy stinks right now. Everyone

711
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: knows that people are under a lot of stress. I

712
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,479
Speaker 1: mentioned this. I think at the top of the show.

713
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: New York City has its highest rent average ever right

714
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: now the city of New York, the average rent for

715
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: a one bedroom apartment getting ready. People who live in

716
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, middle of the country, they're gonna four thousand dollars.

717
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: I don't even know. So fifty thousand dollars a year

718
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 1: you have to spend basically to live in an apartment

719
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: in New York City in a one bedroom. So imagine

720
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 1: if you're a family of three or a family of four,

721
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: one bedroom apartment average in New York City is a

722
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: four thousand. Average in Manhattan is approaching five thousand dollars

723
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: a month, folks. So that's more than the average family

724
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,480
Speaker 1: of four makes. By the way, in America, buy in

725
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: large five thousand a month, not even expending the sixty

726
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: k a year. Right, that's more than most people who

727
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 1: are listening to us right now, I bet make it

728
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: their jobs, just without even have to pay for anything else.

729
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 1: And yet we have all this inflation happening. We have

730
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: the economy looking like it is going to go into

731
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: a recession, and what is the price? You could just

732
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: say this, this is a a observable reality. What are

733
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: the Democrats more focused on right now than any anything else?

734
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: Is it inflation? Is it energy? Is it people paying

735
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:12,239
Speaker 1: for their groceries? The January sixth Insurrection of eighteen months ago.

736
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: The real messaging, if you can just get past the

737
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,720
Speaker 1: propaganda veneer on the networks that are covering this stuff

738
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: and running with it constantly, the realities. Any American disesus

739
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: would say to himself or herself, what are these clowns doing?

740
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: There are real problems and people can say, oh, they can,

741
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, walk and chew gum. At the same time

742
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: the government is spending the Congress is spending more energy

743
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: on the January sixth show trial. Yeah, anything else they

744
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: are doing right now, All they've got is Trump. That's

745
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not even in office or even running

746
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: for office this fall. It's all they can talk about.

787
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 1: I'd stuttered there first, stumbled there for a second, trying

788
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 1: to find the story about you're because you're telling me

789
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: now I have. I actually used to go to public

790
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: pools in DC with some regularity when I was in

791
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: my twenties and a CIA officer, you know, really pools

792
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: in your to show off whatever abs when I was

793
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: at When I was a kid, I would go to

794
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: all the public pools in the Nashville area. I was

795
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: in you know, daycare. Both my parents worked, and we'd

796
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: have a daily trip to a pleasant green swimming Pool,

797
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: which is in the Nashville area, and then we'd occasionally

798
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: get to go to the wave pool back in the day,

799
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: you know, the one that was owned by the city

800
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: of Nashville that made the waves. And so I was

801
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: just scrolling through and I cannot believe that. First of all,

802
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm coming to New York City tomorrow, first time I

803
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: have been in New York City since I was trying

804
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: to remember when I know we did last summer I

805
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: was in New York. Have I been up in like

806
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: a year? I don't think so. And last year was

807
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be the hot back summer where everybody was

808
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: super excited the COVID shot was going to save everyone,

809
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: and now everybody's kind of getting used to the fact

810
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,479
Speaker 1: that that's not happening. But so I just saw your city, buck.

811
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: They're going to require people at New York City public

812
00:45:55,680 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: pools to wear masks everywhere but in the water this summer.

813
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell you. So, So you asked about

814
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 1: public pools, I used I lived in Georgetown when I

815
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,919
Speaker 1: was a young CIA officer, and there was a public

816
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 1: pool in Georgetown that's probably a pretty nice pool, like Baywatch.

817
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. It was pretty fantastic. It was.

818
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: It was good time there at the public pool anyhow. Um,

819
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: but in New York City, they're going to make people

820
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: mask up for entry to the public pool for sunbathing

821
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: on the death of the period, asking except in the

822
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: water because I guess they realized that maybe it's poses

823
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: like a drowning hazard or they think I would think

824
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 1: it's probably pretty easy. But this is this is why

825
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: you can see this turned into, as we've said so

826
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: many times, an anxiety disorder. This turned into a political

827
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: mobilization tool. There is no scientific basis for this. Whatso

828
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean to say, the scientific basis it's this is

829
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: from This is idiotic. I mean, the people that think

830
00:46:57,719 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: this is a good idea are not smart. The people

831
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: making people do this are not intelligent human beings. I'm

832
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: just laughing. It's sad that this could ever occur. But

833
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, if you go to a pool and you

834
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: lay out, or you go to the beach and you

835
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: lay out or whatever else, are you're gonna have like

836
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: a mask tan you know, like because you're gonna have

837
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: your big mask that you have to wear, and then

838
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: otherwise you're laying out in your your bathing suit, and

839
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: so when if you're not careful, when you're done at

840
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you will have like a

841
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: tan forehead, a tan, you know, like and then you'll

842
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: have a huge mask tan line. How I mean, how ridiculous.

843
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: I cannot even imagine being at a pool and having

844
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 1: to wear a mask outdoors, laying out in the sun.

845
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: There were people crazy. So I got stuck at I

846
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: was supposed to go visit our fantastic affiliate in Saint Louis.

847
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: We had mentioned that I spent six hours at the

848
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: airport yesterday. We did the whole we did the the out,

849
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: we hit the limb it you know, when you wait

850
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 1: on the tarmac and wait and wait, and it's hours,

851
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: and then we had we had delays before that, so

852
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: I was basically the airport all night. You have something

853
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: to read? Did you have enough to read on the airplane?

854
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: A little book called Undaunted Courage? My man, there, you

855
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: gonna help them two fifty baby, I'm I'm flying through

856
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: Undaunted Courage. And I'm always terrified of getting stuck on

857
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,439
Speaker 1: an airplane. Your phone dies and you have nothing to read.

858
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: I think I would I would lose mine It's never

859
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: happened to me, but I would lose my mind, I think.

860
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: But I'm just gonna tell you it's about ten to

861
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: twenty percent of people in the Laguardy of New York

862
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: City Airport walking around massed up. And what I think

863
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: is so interesting is the the holdout maskers. A lot

864
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: of N ninety fives, a lot of like medical you know,

865
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: they're they're the true believers. You know. It's like the

866
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: person that was on my flight, true stories, hand to God,

867
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: triple masker, double mask with the face shield. For the

868
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: whole three hours that you were sitting there on the tarmac,

869
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 1: they had their mask on, like face shield everything. That's

870
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: so that's what's so interesting. No one on the plane

871
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 1: to Saint Louis, not a single person that I saw

872
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: had a mask on. But as we're going to Saint Louis,

873
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, but a lot of people in the

874
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: LGA terminal were masked up because it's a mental illness, folks.

875
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,399
Speaker 1: It really is really a mental illness at this point.

876
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: But imagine being at the swimming pool and you have

877
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: to wear a mask to lay out while you're sunbathing.

878
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 1: This just gets crazier and crazy play Travis and Buck

879
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: Sexton on the front lines of truth.
