1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: Welcome in our number three Clay Travis buck Sexton show. 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: I appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Day 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: one of the DNC in Chicago is here. Joe Biden's 4 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 1: scheduled to speak, and as part of that speech, the 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: expectation is that he will pass the baton to Kamala 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: Harris and that he will be arguing that the best 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: way to continue Biden nomics is to actually continue with 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: his administration by elevating Kamala Harris as the next man 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: or woman up. Now, I thought this was interesting this morning. 10 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: Buck. 11 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: A couple of different stories that speak to the lack 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: of honesty I believe surrounding this story in general. First, 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: did you see the story about Mike Barnacle from Who's 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: a longtime columnist friend of Joe Biden out there to 15 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: discussing the dishonesty in the stabbing in the back of 16 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Mike Barnicle, according to Axios, has been walking around. 17 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 3: Uh. 18 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: This is according to Axios this morning, Joe Biden loved this. 19 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: He fund this is I'm quoting Axios. A former top 20 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: Obama official saw Mike Barnacle at Finway Park where the 21 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox Play said, isn't it great that effing 22 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: guy finally figured out he had to quit. Mike Barnacle responded, 23 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: F you and f your friends with their anonymous quotes. 24 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: Put your name on it next time. This story has 25 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: been circulating again, Axios reporting that Joe Biden loved this 26 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: story his longtime friend in media, Mike Barnacle. I don't 27 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: even know what Mike Barnacle's award winning print and broadcast journalist. 28 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: According to Mike Barnacle that Joe Biden saw this and 29 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: absolutely loved it. Why do I bring that up? What 30 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: you are going to see in theory? I mentioned the 31 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: idea that maybe has five percent chance, Joe Biden says, 32 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: and I'm leaving now, and I'm handing the reins to 33 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. I appreciate all of you. I'm riding off 34 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: into the sunset. We think he's got too much of 35 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: an ego to do that, so let's pretend he's not 36 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: going to do that. What he is going to try 37 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: to do is pretend that he is George Washington, that 38 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: he has done what is best for the nation, that 39 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: he is a selfless hero, and that Kamala Harris is 40 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: a uniquely talented politician who will continue to advance the 41 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: Biden cause. 42 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: What else is he going to do? Right, admit that 43 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 4: he has sinility, perhaps dementia, and was part with his 44 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: media lackeys of a massive lie, which was the hiding 45 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 4: and lying about his cognition. For you know what I'm saying, No, 46 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 4: even the option is to just double down on the lie. 47 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 3: At this point, there's nowhere else to go. 48 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: Do you find it interesting that they have put him 49 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: on Monday, because I do find it only a bit 50 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: interesting that he's on Monday. They don't even give him 51 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: Tuesday or Wednesday. They buried him on the first day. 52 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: They want him over as fast as possible. This is 53 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: a The Biden speech is a formality. It is a formality. 54 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: It is something they think they have to do, but 55 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: it is not something that they are looking forward to. 56 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: And they know that people like you and me are 57 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: going to say, oh yeah, the guy that they were 58 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: telling was two months ago was Sharper's attack, the best 59 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: he's he'd ever been and is totally ready for former 60 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: years president. And now those same people are saying Kamala 61 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: Harris is. 62 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: Full of joy and a beautiful future and we should 63 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,119 Speaker 4: all think that she would be a great president too. 64 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 4: I mean their job is to lie, I think effectively. 65 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 4: Now for journalists, it's not even that they lie sometimes. 66 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 4: I think their job is to tell lies and occasionally 67 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: they tell the truth. So they're trying to sell the 68 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 4: idea of unity. But I wanted to share that particular 69 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 4: story that is out there about Biden not being happy. 70 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: This is also super interesting John Fetterman, Pennsylvania Senator, And 71 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: let's put I don't know if he'll come on. What 72 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 4: do you think about this? 73 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: Buck? 74 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: What if we invite Fetterman on the show. I don't 75 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: know that he would come on this show, but he 76 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: has been willing to do other shows. I'm going to 77 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: suggest let's put out an invite. I would bet he 78 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: won't come on, but let's offer him the opportunity to 79 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: come on. He's not going to come to Chicago, and 80 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: he's not coming to Chicago, partly because of his stance 81 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: on October seventh. He has been a full throated, to 82 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: his credit supporter of Israel and Israel's right to defend 83 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: itself against the terrorists and hamas who were located in 84 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: Palestine right now. They did a story on John Fetterman, 85 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: and I bet most of you have not seen this. 86 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: Fetterman gave his take on the situation in Israel when 87 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: he hung up listen to this book. 88 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: I've never heard of this happening. 89 00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: His communications director on the record said I I don't 90 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: agree with him about Israel and Gaza. This is Carrie Adams, 91 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: Fetterman's communications director. I have a sense that his international 92 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: views are a lot less nuanced than my generation because 93 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: when he was growing up, it was might makes right. 94 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: And for my generation and younger, who of course are 95 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: the ones protesting this, they have a much more nuanced 96 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: view of the region. This reporter says, I've been a 97 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: reporter since nineteen ninety eight. I've never had anyone on 98 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill or anywhere else on the record, off the record, 99 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: on background whatever, criticizing their person that they work for, 100 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: in the record, right after an interview. What would you 101 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: do if you were found I have to I think 102 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: you have to fire this woman. I mean, look, I 103 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: understand you might have a different difference of opinion, but 104 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: you work for me to immediately undermine my opinion in 105 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: an article where I I'm the elected official. If I 106 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: if I'm Fetterman. To have someone who works for you 107 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: on the record rip your opinion and say you don't 108 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: understand the issue enough is a level of disloyalty. 109 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 3: I mean, you pay the. 110 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,119 Speaker 4: Person I think she wants. I think she probably wants 111 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 4: to get fired, okay, and will then get out of 112 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 4: some you know, sifting fact left wing ngo where she 113 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: gets to play the martyr role of I spoke up 114 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: in defensive Palestine against John Fetterman. There is such a 115 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 4: thing as so stupid that it's not believable. And I 116 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 4: think that's that doing this to speak on the record 117 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 4: and trash your boss in this way is really an 118 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 4: attempt to get fired in my mind, or else it's 119 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 4: the person so dumb that you'd have to fire them 120 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 4: because you should be afraid that they will, you know, 121 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 4: light light the office on fire by accident, by trying 122 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 4: to plug something in, or I don't know. I mean, 123 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 4: they're very dumb, So to me, it's bizarre unless it's 124 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 4: an attempt to get fired. But I think it also 125 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 4: goes to how delusional the anti Israeli position on this is. 126 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 4: They think their opinion is nuanced. They hate Israel and 127 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 4: blame it for everything, and in what way is their 128 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 4: opinion nuanced or what is this nuanced opinion that you 129 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 4: think she has and that might used to make right 130 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 4: but now it doesn't. First, so all Fetterman, he's like 131 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 4: fifty something, he's not even that old, correct, So you know, 132 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 4: in twenty years the whole world has changed from might 133 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 4: makes right to something else. It's a not only is 134 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 4: it a disrespectful statement, it's a stupid statement. So it 135 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 4: combines those two things. But I mean, I would say, 136 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 4: whether you're in politics or media, the moment someone is disloyal, 137 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 4: you need to get rid of them or else you 138 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 4: get what you deserve when you find out that you 139 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 4: should have gotten rid of in the first time, you 140 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 4: absolutely has to. And I'm not somebody ever celebrates people 141 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 4: getting fired unless they really really deserve it. I mean, 142 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: I feel badly for people, if anything, and I are 143 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 4: too nice, believe it or not, we're too nice. 144 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: But this chick needs to get fired. 145 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: I just I mean, for people out there, this would 146 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: be like we're doing a story about the show and 147 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: its successes, and we thank you for all of the 148 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: show's successes and all the cities that were number one 149 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: in we hang up and somebody on the staff is like, yeah, 150 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: I really hate the show. You know, I don't think 151 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck are that good, And then that's in 152 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: the article, like you would have to fire them. 153 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 2: I just you. 154 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: We have lost and I think this is emblematic of 155 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: a younger generation. We have lost the ability. 156 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: To understand that we can disagree. 157 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: Here's what I would say, do you really think that 158 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: Fetterman doesn't understand the arguments that his communications director is making. 159 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: It's one thing if you are unaware of information that 160 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: could change your opinion on an issue. A lot of 161 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: people out there, I think, are still unaware, for instance, 162 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: of a lot of lies that they were told during COVID. 163 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: It's a willful ignorance, but they aren't even aware of 164 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: the other arguments. This isn't that to your point, Buck, 165 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: This isn't that complicated of an issue in terms of understanding. 166 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: Fetterman has considered the fact that he might be wrong, 167 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: and he's decided that this is his position as the 168 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: elected six year senator of Pennsylvania. I do think, though, 169 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: that this is important because they are selling the idea 170 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: that Democrats have never been more united, Everyone has never 171 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: been more excited to be behind Kamala. And you have 172 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: Biden furious at the fact that he was stabbed in 173 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: the back metaphorically and kicked to the curb. You have 174 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: Fetterman not showing up as a part of the most 175 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: integral state in the entire nation, Pennsylvania. You have Josh Shapiro. Yesterday, Buck, 176 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: did you see this? He said his schedule was too 177 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: busy to join Kamala on her tour of western Pennsylvania. oOoOO, 178 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: Josh Shapiro gave the so I'm going to wash my 179 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: hair tonight response to the date invite from Kamala Harris, 180 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Like when you are a politician and the would be 181 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: president of the United States says, hey, will you come 182 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 1: help me win your state and you say, sorry, I've 183 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: got a scheduling issue. That is always a lie. You 184 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: make time for the would be president of the United 185 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: States if you at any way respect or are advocating 186 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: for them aggressively. 187 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 4: Well, now to my earlier point about strategies versus egos, Clay, 188 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 4: if you're jos Shapiro, if you're Gavin Newsom, if you're 189 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 4: a Gretchen Witmer, you would never say this to anyone. 190 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: Maybe not even your spouse, do you actually want. 191 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 3: Kamala to win? Million percent? They want her to lose. 192 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: All of those people want Kamala to lose because if 193 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: she wins, you take eight years of you being president 194 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: off the table, because she's certainly going to be the 195 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: nominee in twenty twenty eight if she went twenty twenty. 196 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 4: Not even just the possibility of the eight years of president. 197 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 4: That's obviously like the grand prize, right, that's the gold 198 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 4: medal that they're hoping to attain. But if you're Newsom, 199 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 4: if you're any of them, you get to create You 200 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 4: get to raise a huge amount of money and run 201 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 4: a national campaign and build up your profile and look 202 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 4: your your brand value regardless, right, And yes, you won't 203 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 4: get to do that for eight years if Kamala wins. 204 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 4: It's even more than just you can't be president. You 205 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 4: can't run Running for president. Look at some of the 206 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 4: Republicans who run for president is really just a pr 207 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: exercise for a lot of people. 208 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: Well, not only that, it also clears up the challenge 209 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: of figuring out how you if you're a white guy 210 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: like Gavin Newsom or Josh Shapiro are the nominee with 211 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: a black woman who was vice president in front of you. 212 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: This is best case scenario for them. Biden get kicked 213 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: to the curb, Kamala gets elevated. If Kamala loses, her 214 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: political career is over, and then you are the fault 215 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: highest ranking Democrat out there. I think they probably want 216 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: to lose the Senate, and they probably want to lose 217 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: the House because it's for the best for them politically, 218 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: because it elevates their stature one billion percent. 219 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 3: That's what's going on right now. 220 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: I want to tell you it's a good time to 221 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: be reminded of the leadership and wisdom of President Ronald Reagan. 222 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: And there's a brand new movie coming out next Friday 223 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: that does just that called Reagan.

Maybe you take two of them. I don't know, 259 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 4: but some of the pills say miff and some of 260 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: them say Prestone. At least that's what I saw, you know. 261 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 4: Gotta be careful with AI these days. My favorite, though, 262 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 4: of all, is so far the sort of campground sing 263 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 4: along with the Antifa and purple haired lunatics who are 264 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 4: all masked up. 265 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: Now. 266 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 4: I understand that there are This is one of those 267 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 4: things I argue with a lot of people to write about. 268 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 4: There are multiple reasons why they are masking. I will 269 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 4: concede that. But when they're not actually doing anything illegal 270 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 4: and they're just like standing out there playing, they're literally 271 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: playing the banjo in the street and saying, all you 272 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 4: fascists about to lose, all you fascists about to lose. Obviously, 273 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 4: their tune is a little better than mine. I'm not 274 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 4: gonna be unfair to them. They've got a little more. 275 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 3: They might even have some jazz flute going on. 276 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 4: I don't know, Clay, there's some jazz flute on the 277 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 4: streets of Chicago, so at least they got that going 278 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 4: for them, which is nice. I would just say, though, 279 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 4: they wear these masks because masks are for depth. For 280 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 4: a lot of Democrat leftists, masks are the equivalent of 281 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 4: maga hats. This has been true all along, This has 282 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 4: been true since during COVID. But to see them standing outside, 283 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 4: like fifty of them singing along with masks on, and 284 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 4: then they're worshiping like the giant inflatable IUD and the 285 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 4: abortion pills and they're giving out free vasectomies. 286 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 3: Weird they want to talk about weird. These people are loons. 287 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and think back to nineteen sixty eight when Woodstock happened, 288 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: because a lot of people are comparing the DNC in 289 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: Woodstock nineteen sixty eight with the Chicago and today and thinking, Okay, 290 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: how's this going to go? If you watch I'm surprised 291 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: they let us do this. I don't know if they 292 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: let you do this in your school, Buck, but we 293 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: had a teacher who put on a Woodstock documentary back 294 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: in the nineties in my public school, and there was 295 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of nudity in it, and some of the 296 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: girls were pretty, and you know, I was like fourteen, 297 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: I was like, this kind of seems amazing. They had 298 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: a huge party, right, all of these incredible bands. They 299 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: had drugs sex rock and roll. If you're a teenager, 300 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: you're in your young twenties, that has a lot of appeal, right, 301 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: drug sex rock and roll not necessarily going to be 302 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: a stunner. 303 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 4: Sounds like a lot of loud noise people. I'm not 304 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 4: sure about the food, but that's me. 305 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 3: Think about where we are now. 306 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: You have flute players in full on headgear masks, you 307 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 1: have the banjo player wearing a mask. 308 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 3: I just I think it's such an interesting. 309 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: Cultural evolution that you have gone from yay, drug sex 310 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: rock and roll to I gotta wear a mask outdoors 311 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go get my ball snipped. 312 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: Yay? 313 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 1: What has happened to hippies? Like hippies used to be 314 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: at least a little bit of fun, right, Like they 315 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: were counter culture. They were you willing to take risks, 316 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: and now they just sit around in masks begging for 317 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: their balls to get snipped. I mean, I'm sorry, hippies 318 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: have gone downhill in a big way. 319 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 4: Also, I feel like, if you're gonna get the the 320 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 4: vasectomy surgery, like, I don't want it to be some 321 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 4: guy operating out of a van, you know what I mean. 322 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 4: I'd wanna if I'm gonna get snipped, I'd want it 323 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 4: to be by a license trained and reputable professional where 324 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 4: we have some kind of rapport. 325 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

I'm maybe I'm in the minority there, 330 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: but that's what Democrats are signing up for right now. 331 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: It's good to have you back on the radio show, Clay. 332 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: You've got to think right here.

Fox Business got a brand new book out. 351 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: Going to dive into that and more. But let's just 352 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: start right off the top. How crazy was Kamala's economic 353 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: speech on Friday? From your perspective as someone that understands 354 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: the economy a little bit. 355 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if you like what happens in Venezuela 356 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 2: at the old Soviet Union, it's completely normal. But if 357 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: you know you're if you're any sort of half Sentian 358 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 2: student of history, or you've taken econ one on one, 359 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: I don't even think you need to take econ one 360 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 2: on one. I think you just needs to balance a 361 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 2: checking account to understand. That was one of the dumbest 362 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 2: things I've ever heard in my life, particularly the sort 363 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 2: of cross contradictions, like she's going to get rid of inflation, 364 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: that's a big thing, but she's gonna like put these 365 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: price controls on stuff that's gonna limit supply. That's going 366 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: to make inflation even worse. I mean, that's been the 367 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: history of it. You know, when you start, you know, 368 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 2: mandating prices from what stuff should be depriced, government creating 369 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 2: an agency to do that, it's just it creates shortages. 370 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: It's it's dumb, it's it's feutile. I still can't believe 371 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: she's getting away with it as much as she is 372 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: with the mainstream media, because you know, business journalists generally, 373 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,479 Speaker 2: you know, read balance sheets every now and then, at 374 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: least I used to a lot. You would think some 375 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 2: of these people, the New York Times and the and 376 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal, not the editorial page, but you know, 377 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 2: the news pages that they had some sort of inkling 378 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: about basic economics. To laugh this thing out of the park. 379 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: I just think it's it's pathetic, and it's where Democratic 380 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: Party is going. I mean, I mean think about it. 381 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton is going to speak at the d n C. 382 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 2: I think in two days, right, you know he when 383 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 2: he was president, he did just the opposite, just the opposite. 384 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, he's lower tech. He'd worked 385 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 2: with Newke Engrish of lower capital gains. He freed up 386 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 2: the the Internet. He did not impose massive regulations. It 387 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 2: created a vast new technology, you know, lower taxes in 388 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 2: his in his second term, he enacted welfare reform. He 389 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 2: did all the things that she is now running against. 390 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 2: It was Bill. She's actually running against Bill Clinton. And 391 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: it's fascinating what happened during the Clinton years, which was 392 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: especially that second term. It was a remarkable four years 393 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 2: of economic growth. And look what we got now. I mean, 394 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 2: it's just amazing where the Democratic Party has gone. It's gone, 395 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 2: it's gone wickedly socialist. 396 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 4: Talking to Charlie Gasparino got a new book out, Go Woke, 397 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 4: Go Broke, the inside story of the radicalization of Corporate America. Charlie, 398 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 4: just back on the on the Democrat versus Republican view 399 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 4: of the economy right now. Obviously, Democrats are trying to 400 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 4: say that this is a strong economy despite the very 401 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 4: high prices and the inflation that has been a major 402 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 4: challenge for Biden all along. Do you think that this 403 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 4: is going to be an area where the propaganda just 404 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 4: is insufficient, as in, no matter how many times they 405 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 4: tell persuadable voters the economy is good, they feel it 406 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 4: themselves in a way where they know that's not true. 407 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 4: Or are you concerned that maybe they can fool people 408 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 4: on this one. 409 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: Well, they they do have, you know, they do have 410 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: soldiers in their fight, which is most of the mainstream media. 411 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 2: You take a few you know, heterodox views out of 412 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 2: the mainstream media and it's it's very much a cheerleading 413 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 2: section for for this economy and for Joe Biden, for 414 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: Kamal Harris. What I do think though, that you know, 415 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 2: given all the cheerleading that's going into into the left 416 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: of these days from the media, particularly if you know, 417 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 2: on running against Trump, because I think that the mainstream 418 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: media generally considers Trump is, you know, sort of an 419 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 2: existential threat to democracy and know the world peace. Uh. 420 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: They look at him as you know, sort of another 421 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: level evil. Uh. And that's you know, they they wouldn't 422 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 2: look at it. If Ron the Santus runs. I'm not 423 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 2: saying he would have gotten a better shake out of 424 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 2: the mainstream meaning, but it would have been less sort 425 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 2: of it would have been less hot. Be that as 426 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 2: it may, Pump is still either winning right now or 427 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: just a little bit behind, even despite this love affair. 428 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 2: And the reason why that is is because people just 429 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: kind of know it. I mean, you could tell someone 430 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 2: they feel good, they should feel good, but if they 431 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: you know, you know how some doctors say, well, you should, 432 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 2: you're fine, but you feel lousy. Then you go and 433 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,679 Speaker 2: get in second opinion, and all of a sudden, you know, 434 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 2: you realize you're sick. You know, most Americans don't when 435 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: you tell them they feel good, and they don't feel 436 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 2: good when they know that the rate of inflation is 437 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 2: down from its peak, but prices have not come down, 438 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: and they know their wages haven't kept up with those prices, 439 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 2: which is the obvious reality of the last four years. 440 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 2: There is no about a spinning And if you know what, 441 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 2: what what keeps Trump in this race, I think is 442 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: the fact that for all the stuff that he says, 443 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 2: and he says some things that he probably shouldn't say, 444 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: stuff that you know, gets him in trouble all the time, 445 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 2: the reality is when he ran things, the country was 446 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: in better economic shape than when Kamala Harris and Joe 447 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 2: Biden rant things and it's hard to spit out of that. 448 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 2: And that's why this race is close. It's also close 449 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 2: because you know, Donald Trump just does not He's not 450 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 2: run an effective campaign. That might change now kind of 451 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 2: seems like it is. Lately he seems to be honing 452 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 2: in on the message of the economy. You know, I 453 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 2: wrote a whole book about corporate wokeness. I mean, Americans 454 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: take that too. I mean, here, here's the thing I 455 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: will say. If there's one thing I kind of analogize, 456 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 2: and when when I think why, I think Trump is 457 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 2: probably going to win despite everything he says that gets 458 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 2: them in trouble. You know, when I did this book, 459 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: I one of the things that's so obvious is that 460 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 2: if you take Budweiser that went woke, wickedly woke the 461 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 2: woman as as essentially an influencer, Disney, which felt the 462 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 2: need to gratuitously insert same sex kissing scenes into children's cartoons, 463 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 2: Target which had its gay Gay Pride Month displays that 464 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 2: had tough friendly bathingsuits next to rainbow colored onesies, the 465 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: sort of leftism of the investment community through environmental social governments, 466 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 2: and what happened at black Rock at each of those instances, 467 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: and I'm leaving out many more that saw read it 468 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: in the book. The consumer rejected it viciously. The Blackrock 469 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 2: was two trillion dollars in assets on the management when 470 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: it became the sort of poster child for lefty ESG investments. 471 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 2: You know, Disney Stock hasn't moved since twenty fourteenth the 472 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 2: same price essentially, butdwise went from number one beer to 473 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: number three. Target had a scale back, its pride displace 474 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 2: because people weren't going shop. Will be the American consumer 475 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 2: hates well. Kamala Harris has declared Wokenes to be the 476 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: best thing since Slice Brent in the French Prize. She 477 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 2: said it will the American people support an uber woke 478 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 2: presidential candidate. The consumer won't do it. I can't imagine 479 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: voters are going to do it. 480 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: Let's just talk bear bones here, straight economics, right, Let's 481 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: leave aside, because I love everything that you're saying about 482 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: the failure. I've been on this, buck and I have 483 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: been on this for a long time about go woke, 484 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: go broke and how it's destroyed brands. Was bud Light, Disney, 485 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: you name him, From a pure economic perspective, Let's say 486 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 1: that we know who wins the election on November fifth, 487 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: Wall Street wakes up on the morning of November sixth 488 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris is coming into office. What does Wall 489 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: Street do? What is the reaction in your mind? 490 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 2: Well, there's two Wall Streets. Remember, there is the thing 491 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 2: known as the stock market, which in Jamie diamond and 492 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 2: Larry Fink in all those places, they don't really control that. 493 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 2: You know, that's millions and millions of individual people reacting 494 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 2: to news and using that that reaction to what they 495 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 2: see is coming in the future to bet on, you know, 496 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 2: corporate America's future. You know, whether earnings will go up 497 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: or down based on whatever policies come out of Washington 498 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 2: which will impact those earnings. So that's one thing. Then 499 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 2: you have the Street. You know, Jamie Diamonds Larry Think 500 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 2: you know, if he gets elected, they're going to go 501 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: on bendednee and you know, make nice with her because 502 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 2: they you know, if they act, you know, the financial 503 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 2: sector is a is a heavily regulated entity. Do they 504 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 2: go back to being woke? I don't think they do, 505 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: because they not only have to answer to Kamala Harris, 506 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 2: But they have to they have to answer to me 507 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 2: and you and Buck and and our wives and people 508 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 2: who just don't like this stuff. So that's another thing. Now, 509 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 2: the stock market's going to be interesting to see how 510 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 2: that reacts to Kamala because if you follow what she's saying, 511 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 2: you know, spending more money than we have, I mean, 512 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 2: does she raise corporate taxes that's usually not good for 513 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 2: her earnings? Does she you know? Does she uh? Does 514 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 2: she spend? Does she? Does she do price controls? Which 515 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 2: is absurd and you could lead to higher inflation, which 516 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 2: could lead to higher interest rates on bonds, which leads 517 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 2: the higher interest rates on mortgages. I mean, she could 518 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: be a hugely destabilizing factor if she gets in there. Now, 519 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 2: if she gets in there and now he has the 520 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 2: game plan this if you if you're an investor, because 521 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: I think about this all day, if she gets in 522 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 2: there with the Republican House and Senate, well then it's gridlock. 523 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 2: So maybe nothing happens, but who knows. I mean, remember 524 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 2: one thing the president does, to a large extent, control 525 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: the administrative state, which is hugely powerful, and it's and 526 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 2: it's extra it has it's lately it's grown in power 527 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: because of a lot of reasons. Because that makes it 528 00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: more powerful than Congress is check and balances. So remember, 529 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 2: Charlie gets the point to people running the FBC, the SEC, 530 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 2: you know, all those alphabet agencies that are very important. 531 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to see what happens. 532 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 4: Charlie Gasprino. The book Go Well Go broke the inside 533 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 4: story of radicalization of corporate America.

What's going on, Dave, Well. 580 00:31:59,440 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 2: It's great. 581 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 5: Talked to fellow Jesuit High School alum. I wanted to 582 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 5: reaffirm claive comment about this being a gender election. I 583 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 5: was at the Tim Walls rally in Omahon Saturday and 584 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 5: it was seventy five percent women, easy, and out of 585 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 5: those women, most of them were public school teachers. And 586 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 5: there's a WRINT report of my or there's a link 587 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 5: to my written report at the blog The New Neo, 588 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 5: and I detail it all there. But I yelled at 589 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,480 Speaker 5: at Tim, I said, why'd you let the Twin Cities 590 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 5: burn and I've about gotten a fistfight over that. And 591 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 5: before the rally, there were some Hamak Democrats out there protesting, 592 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 5: and I mean, if I didn't want to hold my 593 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 5: place in line, I would have gone over and. 594 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 2: Gotten in a fight with them. I mean, I was 595 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 2: just outraged at those people. 596 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 4: I'll tell you one thing, thanks for calling in the 597 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 4: female public school teacher demographic. Democrat will win that ten 598 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 4: to one. I think you're gonna have. You know you're 599 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 4: gonna have ninety percent plus of those voters are gonna 600 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 4: vote Democrat, no matter what Trump says, Clay, no matter 601 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 4: what Trump does. 602 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 3: Please, I beg you, if you. 603 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 4: Are a female conservative public school teacher listening to us, 604 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 4: you would be in the ten percent I'm talking about. 605 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 4: But ninety percent plus are gonna vote for Biden no 606 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 4: matter I'm sorry, Kamala, no matter what. 607 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: Let me just say, kfab I believe Omaha we are 608 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: number one. 609 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 3: I'm looking at you in the camera right now. 610 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,800 Speaker 1: There is a clear mathematical situation where Omaha, Nebraska could 611 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: decide the next president of the United States. For those 612 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: of you aren't aware, we have said this a lot 613 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,960 Speaker 1: of times, but it is a bit abnormal. Omaha has 614 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: its own electoral college vote. Omaha, Nebraska is solidly bread 615 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: elsewhere in honor of the Cornhusker. 616 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 3: But Omaha might well buck Look. 617 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: Trump wins North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, Omaha could 618 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: decide the presidential election. 619 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 3: I'm not making that up. 620 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: That would Trump could win the election and still lose Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, 621 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:24,240 Speaker 1: and Michigan. Potentially if Omaha Nebraska supports Trump over Kamala. 622 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: You guys uniquely. I think of almost any city in 623 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: America could hold the presidency in your hands. We're number 624 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 1: one in that market. I had a fabulous time at 625 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: the College World Series. I love the people of Omaha, Nebraska. 626 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 1: You have a power in your hands that no city resident. 627 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,240 Speaker 1: I really believe this in America otherwise, has you guys 628 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: can make Trump president of the United States. 629 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 3: Omaha. 630 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 4: Yes, well, if that's only if the math gets very 631 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,240 Speaker 4: specific and they're the last. 632 00:34:59,480 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: But it's not. 633 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: It's not crazy to think that Trump would win North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, 634 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: and Arizona as he's favored to do, and that Kamala 635 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: could sweep Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan. I hope it doesn't come 636 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: down to that. But in that scenario, Omaha would win 637 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 1: Trump the presidency or hand Kamala the presidency. 638 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 4: Unfortunately, Omaha itself, as you know, has a lot of 639 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 4: Democrats the city, I know, And this is a challenge Nebraska, 640 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 4: oh my. And why didn't the state legislature do something 641 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 4: about changing this? That's the other question that I have. 642 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 4: It's a red state. But you know, some people the 643 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 4: traditions of their elections are very hard to very hard 644 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 4: to alter, unless they're Democrats, in which case all of 645 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 4: a sudden math can be altered. That doesn't really matter, 646 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 4: Marcus in Arizona. What have you got for us? 647 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, I'm just wondering. There's got to be some 648 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 2: nervous Democrats out there about Biden speaking tonight. I mean, 649 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 2: he could go off the rails here and think the 650 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:02,320 Speaker 2: whole ship. 651 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 3: I mean no, and I don't think I don't think so. Marcus. 652 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 4: I thank you for listening, and you're one of our people. 653 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 4: Appreciate you. I don't see it that way because they're 654 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 4: just trying to get through. They don't even care. I mean, 655 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 4: they'll pull the hook out and just pull them off 656 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 4: stage if they have to. This is just pro forma. 657 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,720 Speaker 4: Biden's done, he's yesterday's fish, he's old news. 658 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: And also if he were to go off the reservation 659 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 1: in some way, they would just say this is sad. 660 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,760 Speaker 1: But this is why Kamala had to be the nominee. 661 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: So it would be a. 662 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 4: Huge problem if he were still the nomin knee. But 663 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 4: since he's since he's done. But it is also interesting 664 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 4: that he gets to continue to be the president. Apparently, 665 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 4: you get to be the commander in chief and have 666 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 4: the nuclear codes and have dementia and that's fine. 667 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: Thanks to six more months, basically five more months in 668 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: a long time, he's still in charge. 669 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,919 Speaker 3: Theoretically seems like a big deal.
