1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 2: Second hour of Clay and Buck starts right now. And 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 2: the campus protest. Let's take a look at the latest 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 2: with hoes the Biden base out on college campuses, and 6 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: this is still ongoing. There are now, I think a 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: lot of people who are wondering, will they try to 8 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 2: disrupt graduation ceremony even if they have been cleared out? Also, 9 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 2: will they do anything at the Chicago DNC, the Democratic 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: National Convention, which will be this summer. Certainly possible and 11 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: that would harken back to sixty eight and I think. 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: That would be a bad. 13 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 2: Look for the Democrats, but who knows. And then there's 14 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: some other feelings Clay that I wanted to get into here, 15 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: or some sense of what's happening from those who were 16 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: watching this whole thing playff. First of all, as I mentioned, 17 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 2: the situation with the Israel Hamas war, is Israel is 18 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: poised to go into Rafa and it's the last bast 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: in the last holdout area of Hamas in the very 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,759 Speaker 2: southern portion of Gaza, and there's concern. Now I think 21 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: there are negotiations that are happening, and there's a lot 22 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: of politics about this. Keep in mind, Hamas could have 23 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: ended this a long time ago. Amas could have stopped 24 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: all of this. Hamas chooses not to stop it. Hamas 25 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: still has hostages. There are many questions for a tragic 26 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: how many of those hostages, including there are some Americans 27 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: held hostage, are still alive. I think we're going to 28 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: find that the answer to that is tragically far lower 29 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: than would be expected if Hamas was not run by barbarous, violent. 30 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: Thugs, which it is. 31 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: And so that's all ongoing in the background the Biden administration. 32 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: There's now back and forth over they delayed this arm 33 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: shipment to the Israelis intentionally or not. It certainly looked 34 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: like some kind of a win for the protesters. Okay, 35 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: now we'll get to the other part of this, which 36 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: is that there are a lot of as much as 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: we focus on the crazy Bolsheviks of higher education, and 38 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: there's a lot of that going on. You know, there's 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: an Axios poll Cleut that just came out that had 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: the following numbers, and I think it's a reminder that 41 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: while there's far too much craziness on the campus and 42 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: the professors are overwhelmingly nuts. 43 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: Not all. 44 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 2: There's some great conservative professors, and there's some great campuses 45 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: with nothing but conservative professors, right, I mean, Clay, you've 46 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: spoke to Hillsdale recently. But the overwhelming majority of professors, 47 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: certainly in the liberal arts, are nuts and and go 48 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: along with this stuff and are a part of you know, 49 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 2: BLM and pro hamas Er, you know, down with Israel 50 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: and all this, all this stuff, all the stuff that 51 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: goes together, climate change, all this Trump is going to 52 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: destroy the world. 53 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 4: World. 54 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: But there are a lot of normal people on campus still, 55 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 2: or at least more normal. Sixty seven percent, according to 56 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: the Saxio's poll, say occupying campus buildings is unacceptable. Ninety 57 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 2: percent say blocking pro Israel students from parts of campus 58 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 2: is unacceptable fifty eight percent majority. But I think it 59 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: should be bigger, say refusing a university's order to disperse 60 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: is unacceptable. That number should be higher. But when you 61 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: have almost seventy percent recognizing that the occupation of buildings 62 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: is just you can't do that, and ninety percent saying 63 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: you can't tell Jewish students you're not welcome in this 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: part of campus, how about ten percent of people are 65 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: okay with telling Jewish students you're not welcome in this 66 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: part of campus. That actually seems a little bit alarming 67 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 2: to me. And one hundred percent of them are voting Democrats. 68 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: Just see, I mean this is. 69 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 4: This is entirely I mean that's like ninety percent is good. 70 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 4: But like restricting anybody based on their ethnicity, or their 71 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 4: gender or their sexuality to be able to walk through campus, 72 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 4: that's a little bit ominous to me, and I think 73 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 4: speaks to that ten percent base that's out there that's 74 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 4: doing this. 75 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: But some of that is encouraging, as you're laying out. 76 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: So this is. 77 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: Mario Torres speaking. He is a custodian at janitor. I mean, 78 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: I think janitor is an entirely honorable profession. I don't 79 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: know why we have to play custodian. Jenner is the 80 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: same thing. Janitor as every bit as honorable profession as custodian, 81 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: et cetera. But fine, I'll use the term custodian just 82 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: you know, I think it's a little unnecessary. But the 83 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 2: Columbia University custodian Mario Torres saying that the school should 84 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: have done more to protect them, and that the school 85 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: really Columbia University was kind of asleep at the wheel 86 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 2: for this whole thing. 87 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: Play one. 88 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 3: Is Columbia going to retaliate and find a recent to 89 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: fire me? Is someone going to come after me? 90 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 5: We are taking a big risk, you know, doing this. 91 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 3: But I think that I think that they failed, They 92 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: failed us, and I think that's that's that's the bigger story. 93 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: They failed us. 94 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 5: They should have done more to protect us, and they 95 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 5: did it. 96 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: They absolutely didn't Clay. 97 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: There are people in this process who have been treated 98 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 2: as this is unfolded really badly, and there's all this 99 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: concern of, oh, well, what about are we being too 100 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 2: harsh with the protesters? And you know, what about the 101 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: people who have been you know, under lunatic threat from 102 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: the occupations that are happening, or the people that wanted 103 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: to just go to class and they've paid money to 104 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: be there and they want to have a normal experience 105 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: at the end of their school year. Like there are 106 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: a lot of victims here, the protesters are not victims. 107 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 2: They've created this whole thing themselves. 108 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: And really there seems to be this idea. 109 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 4: I'm sure you saw that UCLA has gone remote all 110 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 4: week because people aren't able to move around on campus 111 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 4: freely and safely. GW, which is where I went in Washington, 112 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 4: d C, has been begging for the Metro police in 113 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 4: d C to come and clean up the protesters, but 114 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 4: the mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, will not allow it 115 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 4: to occur. 116 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: All of this is chaotic. 117 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 4: The question is at this point, I think will it 118 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 4: occur around the Democrat National Convention in August in Chicago? 119 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 4: Because if it does, and I think you said, you're 120 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 4: you're not optimistic or maybe optimistic or a word, but 121 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 4: you're you're not of the belief that it will because 122 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 4: you think Democrats altern it. 123 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: Can I tell you why I think that is? Yeah, 124 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: because I think that these are these are useful idiots. 125 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 2: And remember there's many tiers, as many layers here. You 126 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 2: have the useful idiots who are you know, a junior 127 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 2: at Columbia or you know, a senior at GW or whatever, 128 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 2: and they actually believe this has. 129 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: Some merit and they're the good guys here. 130 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 2: But there's also the professional agitators and protesters who have 131 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: been in the mix. We know this because they've been arrested. 132 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: We have their mugshots and they're like, you know, they're 133 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: in their fifties. They're like retirees who are showing up 134 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: to protest this. I mean, it's clear they're not undergrads. 135 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: And what you have, I think is going to be 136 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: the Soros funded left is going to recognize that trying 137 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: to foment these protests at the DNC is problematic, is 138 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 2: not helping the cause ultimately, because Biden will either either 139 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: give them the policies they want or bend the knee 140 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: if enough pressure is on him to be a leftist, 141 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: so they want him to be president. They do not 142 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: want Donald Trump to be president. So that's what they 143 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: show up at Milwaukee. Where will be that might, yes, 144 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: that I could see for sure, but I mean I 145 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 2: assume that Trump it's tough to gauge. Like obviously they'll 146 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: be lunatics protesting Trump all over the place. I don't 147 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: know if it'll be enough to make a mess, and 148 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: actually it'll be a bad look. I think it'll be 149 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: a bad look for them if it gets out of 150 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: hand and if they're just standing there with here's the thing, 151 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: the reason they do all this childish nonsense with the 152 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: encampments and the occupying buildings, and we refuse to leave 153 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: and all. This is because if they were just standing 154 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: around channing slogans, nobody cares. You're a bunch of imbeciles. 155 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: You're not convincing anyone of anything. So that's why they 156 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: do these things. It's like lying down in the street 157 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 2: to make you, you know, three hours late for work because 158 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: the highways blocked. Like these people have no good arguments, 159 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: so they inflict themselves upon the normal people. 160 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 4: I wonder if they're able to turn this off. They 161 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: dialed up the crazy to such an extent. I think 162 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 4: what they want to do is jump this energy into 163 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 4: BLWM again. I think if you could go into their 164 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 4: sort of hive mind, what they're hoping for is the 165 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: energy that they've unlocked with the Hamas protests and the 166 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 4: anti Israel protest. They hope to be able to combine 167 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 4: it with something BLM related because the BLM protests are 168 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 4: super positive for them. Now here's the challenge in general 169 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 4: with protests, when you're in all of the positions of power, 170 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: how does that play with independent voters? Because it's one 171 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 4: thing when you can kind of drag it around as 172 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 4: a weight on Donald Trump in twenty twenty oh, Look, 173 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 4: the country's falling apart. This is all Donald Trump's fault 174 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 4: when you're in basically control of the entire government. I know, 175 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 4: we got a two or three seat majority in the House, 176 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: Republicans do, but basically you've got Democrats in the Senate. 177 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 4: You've got complete control in the White House. Right now, 178 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 4: Does it work against Joe Biden if there's any kind 179 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 4: of unrest, even if it's motivated like BLM was by 180 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 4: the George Floyd related incident, I don't know how that 181 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 4: plays if you're in the White House. 182 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends on what the issue is and how 183 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: they're going about it. Remember, uh, while all the BLM 184 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: BLM two point zero stuff was happening, obviously Trump was president, 185 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: and so there was this implicit Oh, the the racist 186 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: Donald Trump president is in office. And so that's why 187 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: one cop put a knee on the shoulder of you know, 188 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: like it's Trump's fault somehow. What happened in Minnesota with 189 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 2: with one cop actually was, you know, unfortunately they threw 190 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: the other cop in prison to the one who's just there. 191 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it was it was total injustice. 192 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: By the way, these officers, none of them wanted to 193 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 2: hurt anybody Uh, the idea that they should that one 194 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: what's his name got like Chauvin got like twenty years 195 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 2: or something. 196 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it. 197 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 2: They were absolutely just handed over to the mob. It 198 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: was wrong. It was mob justice. And now I think 199 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: I think we're allowed to actually finally talk about what's 200 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: gone on there. Maybe that's been the case for a while, 201 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: but Clay, I think that it even if they mobilize 202 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: and Biden is in power, the problem is the people 203 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: who do not go along with Biden, right, Biden would 204 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 2: get so much more done. Biden would have achieved so 205 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: much more for the black community, let's say, in America 206 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: under his tenure. Now, the black community I think knows 207 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: this is not true, but the narrative would be Biden 208 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 2: would have achieved so much if only the Trump Republicans 209 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 2: weren't standing in his way. So anything that they protest 210 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 2: is our fault somehow. On the Israel issue, it's a 211 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: little bit more bipartisan, but generally speaking, they always have 212 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: a way to say that is the fault of the 213 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: other side, even when they're in power, because we should 214 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 2: just go along with everything they want. If we went 215 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: along with everything they want, then there wouldn't be these problems, right. 216 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: But Biden, to the earlier point I made, he is 217 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: losing support among particularly young blackmail voters. And if Biden 218 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 2: does not get ninety percent plus of the black vote, 219 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 2: it's all Overah, no way he wins. So I think 220 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: that's I think there are encouraging signs that the usual 221 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 2: Democrat playbook of lies will not res and again, encouraging signs. 222 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 2: I know who knows what's going to happen, but I 223 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 2: do see some reason for optimism. 224 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: Look at that Clay. 225 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: I'm optimistic. Although the Boy Scouts did just change their name. 226 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: Have you seen this, Yes, I saw that story. 227 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 4: I mean you saying that you thought there was a 228 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 4: possibility for a not guilty verdict for Trump is maybe 229 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 4: the most optimistic thing I've heard you say in months. 230 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 2: I said ten percent shot. I think it's that's a 231 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: pretty high percent. You know, I think that that's well. 232 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: I would have said it was one until this week. 233 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: But I think it's such a debacle. And also it's 234 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 2: so clear as they're having the Stormy Daniels testimony that 235 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: they really just want to humiliate Donald Trump. And if 236 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: they took the law seriously and if this really was 237 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: about justice and about our sacred democracy. They wouldn't have 238 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: some very sad former porn star telling tales from twenty 239 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: years ago about something that Trump completely denies. But even 240 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 2: irrespective of that, certainly not criminal. And why are we 241 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: having this told again in a court twenty years later? 242 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 2: What is the purpose of this? They just want to 243 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: humiliate him play They hate him so much that it 244 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: makes them irrational. That is true of the anti Trump 245 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: Democrats across the board. They lose context and it looks 246 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: like they've lost context and they've lost their judgment when 247 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: it comes to all of these criminal trials. 248 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that that's the case. 249 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: Take some your calls and this also Eric Hovedy, running 250 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 2: for Wisconsin Senate going to join us. I want to 251 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: talk to him about the economy, by an economy, some 252 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: of the very troubling headwinds out there, and basically, and 253 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: people are realizing the government's just taking away your mind. 254 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: They don't say it that way, but the government, the 255 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 2: Biden administration, is spending so much that they are spending 256 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: your savings into oblivion and your paycheck into oblivion. That 257 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 2: is happening, and that is a way to destroy an economy, 258 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 2: and it has destroyed economies historically a very large sophisticated market. 259 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: So we'll talk more about that. 260 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: But you know, my collection of firearms now includes my 261 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: first two guns from Bear Creek Arsenal.

You took 363 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 2: over community banks. You have a background in the private sector. 364 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: You've done very well, and so you understand financing. Where 365 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: where you have to be right, you have to see 366 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 2: what's really happening in the economy around you. Governor Santis 367 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 2: obviously super sharp guy. I wanted you to re act 368 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 2: to what he says about what's been going on with 369 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 2: all the spending and how it affects Wisconsin Nights and 370 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: everybody across the country. 371 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 1: Play twelve. 372 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 3: This federal government has borrowed, printed, and spent trillions and 373 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 3: trillions of dollars far beyond what they should have done 374 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 3: over the last many years. We know that when they 375 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 3: were doing it, there were a lot of people saying, 376 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 3: you are going to have inflation. When the Fed was 377 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 3: printing so much money, people were saying, you're going to 378 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 3: have inflation. And that's exactly what's happened. And so that 379 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 3: has been an invisible tax on every American. People are 380 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 3: paying more for groceries, they're paying more for goods, paying 381 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 3: more for services. 382 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: Tell us about this invisible tax that Ron DeSantis is 383 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 2: setting up here. 384 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 5: So let me give you hard numbers behind it. So 385 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 5: Joe Biden spent basically four point seven trillion dollars after 386 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 5: the economy had already come out of COVID. Remember we 387 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 5: spent about four trillion dollars during the heart of COVID, 388 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 5: so he spent four point seven Well, when you spend 389 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 5: that amount of money, the Federal Reserve, which is the 390 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 5: bank for the federal government, had to monetize that debt, 391 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 5: and in that process they increase the money supply by 392 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 5: an enormous amount. Well, what is inflation. Inflation is too 393 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 5: much money chasing a fixed amount of goods and services. 394 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 5: So it's the reckless spending that has created this wave 395 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 5: of inflation that has driven up the cost of people's food. 396 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 5: They're gasoline everything that they touch in life. And it 397 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 5: was never transitory. That was just a total misnomer by 398 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 5: Jerome Powell who runs the FED. So they've been engaging 399 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 5: in voodoo economics and it has cost the American public dearly. 400 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 5: But there's a video I don't know if you guys 401 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 5: have shown it or have played it for your listeners, 402 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 5: where it's Jared Bernstein, who's spent Biden's chief economic advisor 403 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 5: since his vice president's day. And this guy never was 404 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 5: trained in economics, and they're literally asking him about MMT 405 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 5: modern monetary theory and he can't even explain the most 406 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 5: basic things. And you watch this and go, yeah, you 407 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 5: wonder why we have all these negative consequences because we 408 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 5: have completely incompetent people leading our government and our government finances. 409 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 5: And that's the sad thing about it. So you talk 410 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 5: about an insidious tax, Inflation is just a back toward 411 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 5: tax that whittles away the standard of living for every American. 412 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 4: How much difference and better off do you think the 413 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 4: United States would be if everyone representing the United States 414 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 4: was like you and had had to run a successful 415 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 4: business at some point in time. Because what Buck and 416 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 4: I talk about sometimes is Joe Biden's been in government 417 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 4: for forty seven or forty eight years, you got AOC's 418 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 4: running around. I don't think they understand basic economics. And 419 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 4: if you don't understand basic economics, you end up making choices. 420 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 4: It feels like that many of our politicians make. 421 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 5: One hundred percent. And look, we have a lot of 422 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 5: that on the Republican side too, And that's why we're 423 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 5: in this position where we have thirty four trillion dollars 424 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 5: in debt, where the interest costs on our debt now 425 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 5: is bigger than any expenditure in the federal government other 426 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 5: than Social Security. It's bigger just the cost of servicing 427 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 5: our debt is bigger than our Defense department, and by 428 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 5: the way, in a year, will be bigger than Social Security, 429 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 5: and it's putting Social Security at risk. So you know, 430 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 5: the problem is you have these career politicians. Center Baldwin, 431 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 5: who I'm running against, is one of the most liberal. 432 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 5: Their whole life has been politics thirty eight years, and 433 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 5: it's been in Washington, d C. For coming on twenty 434 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 5: six years. She knows nothing about how the real economy works, 435 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 5: how business works. Think of it this way. She's never 436 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 5: had to buy herself health insurance. She's always had health 437 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 5: insurance offered by whatever government position. I've not only had 438 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 5: to buy health insurance, I've had to buy it for 439 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 5: thousands of people how to manage it. I've seen the 440 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 5: disaster that Obamacare has created. So unless you've had to 441 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 5: deal with these issues and understand these issues and understand economics, 442 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 5: then you've got people sitting in Washington, which sadly we've 443 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 5: had for far too long, that don't know what the 444 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 5: hell they're doing. And they don't understand the consequences of 445 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 5: the decisions they're making. 446 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 2: We're speaking to Eric Hovedy. He's running up in Wisconsin 447 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: for a critical Senate seat. He's running against career politician 448 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: Tammy Baldwin. And on the issue of the spending and 449 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 2: what it's doing the economy, ice is certainly going up. 450 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 2: But I saw the statistic and it I found it 451 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: really concerning, Eric, and especially given that they're going to 452 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: try to pull whatever levers they can in the Biden 453 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: White House to make things look better than they are. 454 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 2: Right they're going to put lipstick on the pig, so 455 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,959 Speaker 2: to speak, between now an election day. Even with that 456 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 2: going on, forty three percent of small businesses couldn't pay 457 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 2: their rent in full because of the economy right now, 458 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: That was just from Bloomberg. What's going on with that? 459 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 5: Look the economic data that's being put out, I'm starting 460 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 5: to really question. I'll give you this one example employment data. 461 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 5: We've never had a time series like this where what 462 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 5: they report for job growth in a given month because 463 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 5: they do it the first Friday of every month, and 464 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 5: then they'll always put in their revision for the prior month. 465 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 5: We've had was at sixteen out of seventeen times they say, oh, 466 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 5: we've created this amount of jobs, and then the next 467 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 5: month they always lower how much jobs they created the 468 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 5: last time. Nor do they tell you that most of 469 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 5: all the jobs that have been created are second time jobs, 470 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 5: not full first time jobs. So if you look at, 471 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 5: you know, underneath the belly, if you look at what's 472 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 5: happening with credit card debt or auto debt and the 473 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 5: default rates that are rising significantly, particularly to those that 474 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 5: are you know, in the lower bottom quarter of you know, 475 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 5: economic earnings, they're being crushed by inflation. And you know, 476 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 5: it's so sad. I was. I was with a younger 477 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 5: person and this young gal came up to me and said, 478 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 5: I'm working two jobs. I work all the time, and 479 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 5: I'm still having to live with my parents. And I 480 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 5: just thought, how sad. I mean, clearly she wants to, 481 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 5: you know, be standing on her own two feet, but 482 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 5: she can't get ahead, and she's working hard. It's not 483 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 5: somebody just CouchSurfing. So what they're doing, they've really damaged 484 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 5: the American economy and so many Americans and on multiple 485 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 5: different levels. And again, look at healthcare, Look at the 486 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 5: cost of health care, and the access to healthcare. I 487 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 5: really want more Republicans to start talking about this issue 488 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 5: because the consequences of what Obamacare, what they passed, are 489 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 5: all coming home to roost now with access to care 490 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 5: and the cost of care. So they've created a total mess, 491 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,360 Speaker 5: and it's time we get real people that understand how 492 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 5: the economy works and how you know, society works in there, 493 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 5: you know, taking over, because that's what our founding fathers wanted. 494 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 5: They wanted citizen legislators, people that brought expertise, went and 495 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 5: served for a term or two, and then got the 496 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 5: heck out of there. Instead, we've created this career politician 497 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 5: political class that's been running Washington, d C. 498 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 4: All right, I got a gift for you. Could be 499 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 4: a good thing, could be a bad thing. Serious, serious question. 500 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 4: I think I asked you about this last time. I'm 501 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 4: coming up now to Madison, Wisconsin. On September fourteenth, Alabama 502 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 4: Crimson Tide is going to be on the road playing 503 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 4: against your beloved Wisconsin Badgers.

I mean it's one to five, and 529 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 5: if I can win this Senate race, this can pretty 530 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 5: much not only assured, you know, the next two years, 531 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 5: but potentially the next four and six years.

West Virginia because Joe Manchin is not running, 586 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 4: is going to be won by Jim Justice, which is 587 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 4: a Republican seat. That makes it fifty to fifty and obviously, 588 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 4: depending on who the vice president is, a fifty to 589 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 4: fifty tie can be broken by the vice president. So 590 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 4: if Trump were to win, whomever his vice president is 591 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 4: would be able to break that tie. But if you 592 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 4: look at the at the predictive markets, Ohio has recently 593 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 4: joined Montana as now favored to flip back to Republican control, 594 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 4: that would mean fifty two forty eight, and the man 595 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 4: we just had on Eric Huvedy. There are winnable races 596 00:33:52,680 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 4: in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, there are a Nevada, at 597 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 4: least five other Republican potential pickups in battleground states, and 598 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 4: there's not really Ted Cruz is in great shape. Rick 599 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 4: Scott is in great shape both in Texas and in Florida. 600 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 4: If you want a reason for optimism and you're maybe 601 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 4: you're just out there and you say, I'm not really 602 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,439 Speaker 4: sold on what's going to happen in the presidential race. 603 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 4: There is a very strong chance now of Republican control 604 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 4: taking back over the Senate, and that's important because it 605 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 4: would be a major check on what Joe Biden, if 606 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 4: he were to be reelected, we're able to be able 607 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 4: to accomplish. And I just don't know that's being talked 608 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 4: about enough. And there's the potential if we really got 609 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,479 Speaker 4: things rolling, to get into a fifty four, fifty five, 610 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,239 Speaker 4: fifty six Senate majority for Republicans, which would be a 611 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 4: transformative number relative to where we are right now. So 612 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 4: I just think it's worth keeping mind buck as much 613 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 4: attention as we all pour into what's going to be 614 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 4: a very close race in those six seven battleground states. 615 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 4: There's a lot of Senate seats at play out there, 616 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 4: and in particular in West Virginia, Montana, and Ohio. Bernie 617 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 4: Marino is in a great space in Ohio. And we 618 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 4: had Shei Hei on was it last week? I think 619 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 4: right at the end of the week, who is in 620 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 4: really good space in running a very good race. 621 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,400 Speaker 1: Senate is looking good, Senate is looking good. House is 622 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a little more challenging. And remember there's there's 623 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: a House. 624 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 2: Majority, and like a real House majority, so something we 625 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 2: got to focus on. We want more than a handful 626 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 2: a couple of seats in the majority. But to that end, 627 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 2: we got our friend Ryan Gradusky in the third hour 628 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 2: going to join us play. He has this this whole 629 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 2: paradigm that he has laid out where you look at 630 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 2: really this election being determined by the Sun Belt versus 631 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 2: the russ Felt or not as those things in opposition, 632 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,920 Speaker 2: but those are the two cohorts, the two battlegrounds, if 633 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 2: you will, where this will be determined. How are things 634 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 2: going in one versus how are things going in the other. 635 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 2: So we'll break that down with him, but also look 636 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 2: and see if there's anything from the stormy Dan. Look, 637 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 2: without the stormy testimony, we already know all of this. 638 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 2: It's not only are they acting like spoiled children, Clay, 639 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 2: this whole brag trial isn't even interesting. 640 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 4: You're correct, and that all of this has been reported 641 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 4: for years, And I'm actually getting more and more optimistic 642 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 4: we're gonna get at least one Patriot on that trial. Slee, Travis, 643 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 4: and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth
