1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Clay and Buck Show starts now. I'm Buck, 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: He's Clay. Lots of things to discuss with all of you. 4 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: We've got the military saying they're having a hard time recruiting, 5 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: changing their recruitment goals. We could discuss why that is. 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that all the lectures about wokeness 7 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: and the firing of people for not getting a shot 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: they don't need feeling that didn't help. We'll discuss where 9 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: all of that is going. We've also got I still 10 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: think that SNL. Now I see my parents generation would argue. 11 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: I would say the SNL Saturday Night Live Golden erape 12 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: which Saturday Live the last ten years has been ruined, 13 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: and it is not funny. It is trash. But and 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: maybe maybe even the last fifteen years, certainly last ten years, 15 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: I think that Dana Carvey, Mike Myers era of SNL, 16 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: back in the Wayne's World Heyday was the best. We 17 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: can discuss this more kind. These are the greatest decade 18 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: in American history. In my humble opinion, I tend to agree, 19 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: although I'm a big eighties fan. Two but the Dana 20 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: Carvey impression of Joe Biden is so good and so 21 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: on point that we're gonna play that for you in 22 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 1: a little bit. Carvey's a lib but he knows what's funny, 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: and in some ways it is still mind blowing that 24 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: up until very recently, the storyline was nothing to make 25 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: fun of with Joe Biden. Really, he's such an I mean, 26 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: that was the argument for people out there who missed it. 27 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: They said the comedians did. There's just not really a 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: lot to make fun of around Joe Biden. The guy 29 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: can't even walk up the stairs without falling, and you're claiming, 30 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: I mean, old school people remember the Gerald Ford when 31 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: they ridiculed him because he would fall everywhere and he 32 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: was a former great athlete. Starbucks CEO is out there 33 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: upset about crime in lib cities because guess what they're 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: having just shut down Starbucks. Turns out people don't want 35 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: to pay six dollars for a Mocha Frappsy latte if 36 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: it's smelling like a latrine around them. You know. It 37 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: turns out that people don't really get excited about that, 38 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: and they also don't want to be assaulted while they're 39 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: sitting there having their mocha frappuccino or their quartato, not 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: to be confused with a flat white, because apparently those 41 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: two things are not the same for those who are 42 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: wondering quartato and flat white. Yet, I feel like now 43 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: when you go into like a coffee shop, I feel 44 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: the same way angry. I don't know about you, Buck, 45 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: but you know when you're in a crowded bar and 46 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: somebody goes up and they order an incredibly complicated mixed 47 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: drink that takes like twenty minutes for the bartender to create. Yeah, 48 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: there should be two lines, one for people who want 49 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: to drink coffee and another one for people who want 50 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: maple syrup with carmel goo draped all over their froffy milk, 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: to the same way that a good bar will have. Like, hey, 52 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: if you want a bud light, there should be a 53 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: beer stand where you could just walk right up and 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: get the beer and you don't have to stand in 55 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: line forever. If you want like coffee, like normal coffee, 56 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: that should be ready to go. I usually get ice 57 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: coffee black, right, That's that's what I get. Maybe a 58 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: look at this little humble brags, like just drink my 59 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: coffee black, I do. I mean, I drink it. I 60 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: like ice coffee. I mean I just just came from 61 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: getting an ic coffee, and I just in the same 62 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 1: way that when you're standing in line at the bar 63 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: and somebody orders, you know exactly what I'm talking about. 64 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: I need six Uh you know, I need I need 65 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: six apple teenis four pomegranate Manhattans. Yeah, I know. And 66 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: the bartender mind and you're like, yeah, I just want 67 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: a couple of beers, you know, and you're standing there 68 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: and it takes twenty minutes. I feel bad for the 69 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: bartender too. Can we do that in coffee shops like 70 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: where you can just go right to the front if 71 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: you have a simple order and you don't under stand 72 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: a little. However, I do think Clay first things first, 73 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: they really just need to not allow Starbucks to be 74 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: an open to be a homeless shelter. Effectively, that's a 75 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: drug and a drug and a drug tend that that 76 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: would be the best thing they could. You know, in 77 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco and Portland and places where they're closing, you 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: can use the bathroom stores kids there. People don't want 79 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: to be assaulted and have their latte thrown. So we'll 80 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: talk about that, because just as as soon as you know, 81 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: day follows night this Starbucks changed the policy, and sure 82 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: enough they have problems now as a result because they 83 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: went with wokeness instead of what would be rooted in 84 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: reality today. But first, we've got this upcoming speech from 85 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: from Joe Biden. He's going to be at a former 86 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: coal plant in Massachusetts that is now the site of 87 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: what will be a connection to offshore windmills. And one 88 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: of my favorite things, by the way, Clay about all 89 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: the windmill talk, is Nantucket, for anyone who doesn't know, 90 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: is an enclave of the richest people in America and 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: in some cases the world. The Google founders houses there, 92 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: you know, Larry Ellison as a place in there. Have 93 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: you ever been, Uh yeah, yeah. I paid more money 94 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: than I made in like a month to be in 95 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: the smallest room I think available on the island at 96 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: the time. And I'm not kidding. Um, it's a very 97 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: pricey place to be. It's beautiful though, But they are 98 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: all these complaints because they set up the super rich people, 99 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, and some of the ladies who lunch who 100 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, they've got the billionaire husbands on their board 101 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: and they're like, let's just set up some windmills. Turns out, 102 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: now you got this giant thing that makes a droning noise, 103 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: that makes kind of a humming noise, that is a 104 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: quizon art for migratory foul. It just chops up birds 105 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: all the time. No one ever talks about that. It's 106 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: actually true. You know, ducks, you know, they're just getting 107 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: getting their heads lopped off by these things massacred. Okay, 108 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: there's feathers flying everywhere. It's crazy. Yeah, And they're like 109 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: this is ugly to look at, and so they don't 110 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: want them near their homes, they don't want them offshore, 111 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: and that there's been this huge fights over this in Nantucket. 112 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: But trust me, if you live near the ocean, and 113 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: you know you're in a more middle class, you know, 114 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: more sort of normal economically in neighborhood, oh, they're gonna 115 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: be piling up the windmills off of your coast. You're 116 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: gonna be seeing them in the distance, no more just 117 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: staring off at the beautiful horizon. Biden's gonna be giving 118 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: this speech, and it turns out he's not declaring a 119 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: climate emergency, which you know, what was that even going 120 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: to be? And it's amazing, Clay at a time when 121 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 1: people are more concerned about inflation, the price of gas, 122 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: the price of food than anything else. The Libs who 123 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: are writing Biden speeches for him and apparently giving him 124 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: some performance enhancing drugs, which I mean, have we confirmed 125 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: that that's actually happening, because people are talking about that 126 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: a lot. They want to lecture us about the Green 127 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: New Deal. There's so many things. The idea of Biden 128 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: being on performance enhancing drugs and still being as bad 129 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: at his job as he is, what would he be 130 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: without the performance enhancing drugs? This is like somebody taking 131 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: steroids and still not being good enough to make their 132 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: high school baseball team. Like you really suck if you're 133 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: on steroids and you can't make the high school baseball team. 134 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: That's Biden right now. One percent buck of the electorate, 135 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: and a recent New York Times poll said that the 136 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: climate is the number one issue for them in the 137 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two elections three percent of Democrats. I keep 138 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: talking about this because it feels as if the Biden 139 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: administration is trying to tank for the number one overall 140 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: draft pick. Even Democrats are saying, Hey, dude, let's focus 141 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: on inflation. Let's focus on crime, let's focus on the border. 142 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: Let's focus on the things that impact me on a 143 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: day to day basis. Three percent of Democrats say the 144 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: climate is their biggest concern. One percent of overall voters. 145 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: Hardly any independence buck who is advising Joe Biden. Theoretically, 146 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: they can look at the data. Now, the reason why 147 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: he's not announcing a climate emergency evidently is because they 148 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: are holding out hope. Did you see this in Politico 149 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: that Joe Mansion may change his mind and be willing 150 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: if the August tenth inflation numbers when the newest numbers 151 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: come out for July are not as bad as they 152 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: have been, to potentially sign on still to a climate bill. 153 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: So that is what I have read for why he's 154 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: not calling it a climate emergency. No one is worried 155 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: in the grand scheme of things about the climate when 156 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: inflation is nine point one percent. And when you see this, 157 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: they see the numbers. They're looking at the same data 158 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: and polling that we are. Does Joe Biden, in addition 159 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: to being the worst president in any of our lives, 160 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: also have the dumbest advisors in any of our lives 161 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: in the White House. I mean, what are they? I 162 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: don't even understand their game plan here traveling to Massachusetts, 163 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: a state that he's already gonna win, and going to 164 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: a windmill factory or whatever it is. He feels like 165 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: don Khote, don Quixote. Right now, speaking of Biden advisors 166 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: and their capabilities, White House Press Secretary Kareem Jean Pierre 167 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: is trying to sell the American people on Biden has 168 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: to do all these executive orders because it's so warm 169 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: right now. She's actually saying this, folks, and it's not 170 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: going to actually convince anyone. The impacts of extreme weather 171 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: are intensifying across the globe, including here in the United States. 172 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: No one is immune from climate change. It's why the 173 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: President has been rallying the world to take the decisive 174 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: action needed in this decade to tackle the climate change, 175 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: the climate crisis. It's also why the President is committed 176 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: to taking aggressive action to tackle climate change and made 177 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: clear if the Senate won't act, he will. Okay a 178 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: couple things. First of all, it is not the job 179 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: the president to usurp the role of the legislature and 180 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: say they won't do because I don't have the votes 181 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: in my party what I want. So I'm just going 182 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: to write it on a piece of paper and pretend 183 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: that's the system we have. Obama was the one who 184 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: started this, by the way, he was the I've got 185 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: a pen and a phone. I'm gonna do it myself. 186 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go it alone. Which, yeah, that's violating or 187 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: constitutional separation of powers. And Obama lost in the courts 188 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: many times on this. People forget this the courts like Biden. Yeah, 189 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: he's tried to do all sorts of things, the Osha 190 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: extensions of the of the ability to kick people out. 191 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: I should look up Team Greg could you find for 192 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: me the number of times that Obama executive orders were 193 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: struck down in the courts, because it was I think 194 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: it was almost a dozen. I mean it was nine ten, 195 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: something like that. But they're saying this right now, Clay. 196 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: This is what's amazing. They're talking about the climate emergency. 197 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: As everyone is seeing the price of gas, the price 198 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: of food, the price of fertilizer, which means there's a 199 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: long tail to that, and as fertilizers really expensive, we're 200 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: harvesting or eating last year's harvest of food right now 201 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: going into this next harvest. Guess what ask any farmer 202 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: by the way, we have any farmers out there, I 203 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: know we do. If you want to tell us a 204 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: little bit about what you're seeing, please let us know 205 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: call in because food's about to get a lot more expensive. 206 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: Housing is looking really shaky right now, and with all 207 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: of those factors, the emergency is CO two emissions. These 208 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: people are out of their minds. Also, Buck Biden didn't 209 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: have anything on his public schedule the past two days. 210 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: He didn't do anything, and then he comes back literally 211 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: was not making any arguments that I think KGP there said, Oh, 212 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: he's been working really hard behind the scenes up come on. 213 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy has been sleeping for two days, 214 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: probably after coming back from the Middle East. I'm sure 215 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: he's tired. He's seventy nine now, I think about to 216 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: turn eighty, right like a couple of days after the 217 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: mid terms, and we're talking about him going to a 218 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: d the climate crisis again. I just come back to 219 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: even his base doesn't care that much about this, and 220 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: it legitimately feels as if they're just throwing in the 221 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: towel and oledging that he's done. So maybe we come 222 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: back and answer this, but I'd put this question out 223 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: there so Clay, given the polls, given the reality economically 224 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: and politically, right now, why is he doing it? Yeah, 225 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: there are reasons. It's a great question. We'll talk about 226 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: it next. In the meantime, you hear horror stories of 227 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: people going on vacation having their wallets or purses stolen. 228 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: People aren't just looking for cash, they want to book 229 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: for credit cards and your personal information because with that 230 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: they can make a big, much bigger score off of 231 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: your information thanks to identity theft.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with 246 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 1: us as we are rolling through the Wednesday edition of 247 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: the program, and Buck, you were just talking as we 248 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: were discussing they are going to break What are they thinking? 249 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: What are they thinking when they look at the data 250 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: and see, hey, one percent of overall voters, even three 251 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: percent of Democrat voters are obsessed with the environment and 252 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: climate change, and yet Biden hasn't had anything on his 253 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: schedule for two days and then suddenly he's going up 254 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: to Massachusetts to make a big speech about the existential 255 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: threat to our country that's coming from climate change. I 256 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: think they're just trying to get whatever they can through 257 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: Congress before they lose the House, and we'll see what 258 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: happens in the Senate, but they're not gonna be able 259 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: to pass anything, and this is their last best shot 260 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: to try to do. So what do you think's going on? 261 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: I think that the environmentalist wacko wing of the Democrat Party. 262 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: Even though it's not large, it is very moneyed and 263 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: very well connected. So Nancy Pelosi, for example, walks around 264 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: talking about how the climate asis is real because the 265 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: kind of people that you know run the companies that 266 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: our husband invests in that he seems there again by 267 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: Paul Pelosi, huh, got a lot of skills. Apparently, this 268 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: is what Pelosi says. The climate crisis is a real one. 269 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: There's a short fuse on it. We must act. We 270 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: cannot ignore the science or the governance the protections that 271 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: go with it. It is a public health issue, preserving 272 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: clean air with clean water for our children, the air 273 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: they breathe, the water they drink. It's an immediate health issue. 274 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: It's an economic necessity creating good paying jobs in the 275 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: industries of the future while staving off catastrophic cost of inaction. 276 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: It just blather, right, But the fancy people that ride 277 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: on the private jets with Nancy Pelosi, who write big 278 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: checks the Democrat packs and nonprofits and throw the fundraisers, 279 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: are obsessed with the fashionable virtue signaling of time a 280 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: change ideology in the Green New Deal. Clay I think 281 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: that's honestly what pushes it because, as you said, look 282 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: at the polls, the people they're trying to win votes from, 283 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: the basically fool into thinking the Democrat Party still cares 284 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: about working people. It does not. It cares about those 285 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: who are really rich and really dependent. But they're gonna 286 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: not win any of those votes in Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, 287 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: Wisconsin with this stuff, right. I Also, in addition to 288 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: the high dollar donors, I think Biden probably internally got 289 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: massacred for making that trip to Saudi Arabia and going 290 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: on Ben did knee and given the fifth pound to 291 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: MBS and begging for them to produce more oil and 292 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: gas even though it's not going to occur. Because remember 293 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats consider high gas prices to be fantastic, 294 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: because that means that the Green New Deal is getting 295 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: more competitive. When gas prices or five dollars a gallon, 296 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the windmills and the solar and 297 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: the electric cost which are far more expensive, starts to 298 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: look like a more viable option. The problem with that 299 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: is the vast majority of Americans can't afford electric cars, 300 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: and they keep selling this idea which makes them look 301 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: Marie Antoinette esque. The Democrats do well, if gas prices 302 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: are too high, you should just go buy an electric vehicle. 303 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 1: What the electric vehicle that sells for over sixty thousand 304 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: dollars a year sixty thousand dollars total, and isn't going 305 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: to allow me to even drive that far. So these 306 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: are not viable options for lots of people out there. 307 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: And when you look at how that electricity is being produced, 308 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: a lot of the electricity that's being used to drive 309 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: an electric car is being produced by coal and by 310 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: traditional methods of producing energy. For many of us, the 311 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: everyday effects of inflator are really hitting home. Unless you're 312 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: getting a salary increase of ten percent or more this year, 313 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: you're losing in the battle of inflation versus income, and 314 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: eventually that's felt in the household budget. What more can 315 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: you do to come out ahead?

Sorry about those high gas prices, etc. Etc. 337 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: But they're actually not sorry because they think that this 338 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: is saving the planet. Here is Biden's energy advisor, Amos Hochstein. 339 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: It's like, look, we need to limit oil production to 340 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: accelerate the transition. We've been clear that we want to 341 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: see the US industry increase oil production. It's about making 342 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: a choice between what is the short term in the 343 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: medium term so that we can make sure we have 344 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: enough oil and gas to support us through the transition. 345 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: So we have to make that differentiation to make sure 346 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: that the America can consumer has what it needs to 347 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: grow to grow our economy and the global economy, but 348 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 1: not take steps and endanger the climate work that we're 349 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: trying to do to make sure that we're in a 350 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: better footing to accelerate the transition. And so they want 351 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: to tell you they want more gas and oil, but 352 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: not like too much because it's ikey and destroying the planet. 353 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: But they know that voters are looking at them like 354 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: why are you so crazy? And then Pete Buddha Judge 355 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: comes along, for example, and says, look, the more pain 356 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: you experience, the deeper into credit card debt you go 357 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: trying to fill up your tank, the better it is 358 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: because you're gonna be so much more enthusiastic about getting 359 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: a electric car. Of course, the more pain we are 360 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: all experiencing from the high pison price of gas, the 361 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: more benefit there is for those who can access electric vehicle. 362 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: I mean clay, That's that's it, right. This is John 363 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: Carey spoke what was it a month or two ago 364 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: and said, you know, we don't want to lose focus 365 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: in this Ukraine war on the transition to green energy. 366 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: We don't want Putin to forget about what's really important. 367 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: He's shelling cities into the ground. But let's let's worry 368 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: about CEO two emissions from the guy. These people are nuts. 369 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: There's zealots. They actually have a problem. They It is 370 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: Marie Antoinette. It is Marie Antoinette, over and over and 371 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: over again. Now do you know who says this? Our 372 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: buddy Heraldo play it twelve. Sorry. I thought he sounded 373 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: very Marie Antoinette, very the queen of France who was 374 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: beheaded because she said let them eat cake. He sounded 375 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: a lot like that. Too bad. You can't buy an 376 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: electric vehicle? You know you should, and then then then 377 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: if you if you can't. But she never actually said that. 378 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: But that's a side note. That's what I was gonna do. 379 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: I was gonna be my history nerd there and I 380 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: was gonna say, ah, you know, people may have been 381 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: a little bit unfair to Marie Antoinette. George Washington also 382 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: didn't do the cherry tree chopped down. Like there's a 383 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: lot of sort of cliches that move in through American history, 384 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: just like Donald Trump didn't say they're very fine people 385 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: on both sides surrounding Charlottesville. If you actually go back, 386 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: there's lots of things that end up not being true. 387 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: But the truth that was embedded in what Marie Antoinette 388 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: said is that the ruling estate of France was so 389 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: out of touch with the proletariat, with everybody out there 390 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,360 Speaker 1: who was unable to live normal lives that that Versailles Palace, 391 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 1: which by the way, is extraordinary and I hope everybody 392 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: gets a chance to walk through it sometime. But when 393 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: everybody is struggling and the rich people are living in 394 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: the huge palace, it isn't a good idea to be 395 00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: selling that. And Mayor Pete is relatively unaccomplished. Give him 396 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: credit because he decided to run for president out of 397 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: nowhere mayor of South Bend, Indiana. And if you talk 398 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: to people around Notre Dame, not even a very good 399 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 1: mayor of South Bend, Indiana. It's not like he came 400 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: in and completely revitalized that place. A lot of issues 401 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: still exist in South Bend, Indiana. And then he decided 402 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: he's going to run for president, and the Democrat bench 403 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: is so weak that he actually caught fire with the 404 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: woke white community and the woke white community, and I'm 405 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: going to keep hammering them, Buck, They are destroying this country. 406 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: Everybody out there who is listening right now, if you 407 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: want to go to war metaphorically, of course, in argument's sake, 408 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: your enemy is the woke white imbecile who thinks that 409 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: America is an awful place, who is leading us down 410 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: this primrose path of utter destruction. And they're sort of 411 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: they're saint. The leader of their parade is Mayor Pete, 412 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: and everyone like Mayor Pete who wants to lecture us 413 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: that interstates are racist, that everything in American history is 414 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: systemically awful. The people who are having to pay five 415 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: dollars a gallon or four fifty or whatever the dollar 416 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: figure is right now, it's still over one hundred dollars 417 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: to fill my car up. I'll tell you that. Right now. 418 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: Prices have come down a little bit, and nobody that 419 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking to all over the southeast Buck is sitting 420 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: around saying, you know what, I really, I really am 421 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: thinking a lot about the Green New Deal and how 422 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm encouraged now to go buy an electric vehicle. They're 423 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: all like, Joe Biden is an imbecile and he has 424 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: to be gone immediately, and unfortunately we got thirty more 425 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: months of this trash. Here's Tom Cotton speaking of what 426 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: could be happening in this country and why it's not. 427 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: What happened under President Trump, for example, we achieve full 428 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 1: energy independence for our needs, and we had so much prosperity. 429 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: I think people forgot what it's like to have a 430 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: dumbass Democrat making the calls, and so they lost sight 431 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: of how quickly things could turn around. Here is Senator Cotton. 432 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: What's happening with gas price and electricity prices? Not an accident, 433 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: It's not inadvertent. This is what Joe Biden and the 434 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: Democrats wanted. He promised in the campaign that he would 435 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: end America's use of fossil fuels. Barack Obama's energy secretary 436 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: once said that gas needed to cost here would it 437 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: costs in Europe, which is about eight to ten dollars 438 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: a gallon. This is a highly ideological war against American energy, 439 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: and look what has gotten us. The President has not 440 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 1: just had to walk back his own past criticisms of 441 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, but try to get more oil from Iran 442 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: and Venezuela. We know we had plenty of oil in 443 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: Arkansas and Louisiana and Texas and North Dakota. We could 444 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: produce enough oil and gas and coal here to be 445 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: totally energy independent and to support our allies overseas. But 446 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and the Democratic Party continue to wait their 447 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: ideological war against American industry, American energy. Clay, is we 448 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: always talking of the wealth of the American people? Is 449 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: the American people? Yeah, that's true. But actually our energy 450 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: is really important, that our energy reserves are really important. 451 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: We are able to if we just if we would 452 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: drop this notion that there's something dirty and destructive about 453 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: fossil fuels, we would be in such a better place. 454 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: And you notice that they don't even what they say 455 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: doesn't even make sense. They got rid of the Keystone 456 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: Exol pipeline day one Biden comes into office. The Obama 457 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: State Department did a multi year, you know, exhaustive study 458 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: of this to try to find some way to disapprove 459 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: of it. And it's just a question if you want 460 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: the pipeline going across the US territory north to south 461 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: or north the south so that you can export it 462 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: and you get money for this and there's American benefit, 463 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: or do you want to go in west to the 464 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: Asian market, you know the Canadian Tarsan tar sands. And 465 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: they just decided, well, we don't want to be a 466 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: part of this dirty thing that is oil. That was 467 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: the decision, even though it makes no difference to the 468 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: actual environment. Drill, baby drill, This is one Sarah Palin 469 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: got one hundred percent right. I mean, it's simple, drill, 470 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: baby drill. In twenty twenty four, how do you think 471 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: your average American's gonna respond when we are having certainly 472 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: in three four months we're gonna have the midterms, but 473 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: I'm talking about twenty twenty four. These are real decisions 474 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: that need to be made. Do we want to be 475 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: energy independent by producing as much oil and gas as 476 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: possible or not? My answer is yes. And if you're 477 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: gonna get on your air force one fly all the 478 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: way across the country. I look away across the Atlantic, 479 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: go into the Middle East and sit down and beg 480 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia to produce more oil and gas. If we 481 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: had a real media in this country, when Joe Biden 482 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: goes up for this client him at discussion, somebody would 483 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: just raise a hand and say, why is it better 484 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 1: for you to beg Saudi Arabia to produce more oil 485 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 1: and gas when they produce it in a dirtier fashion 486 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: than just allowing American oil and gas to be produced 487 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: so that we make all of those hundreds of billions 488 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: of dollars in this country and we can energy export, 489 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: which is what we were doing under Trump, as opposed 490 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: to having to beg all of these petro dictator states 491 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: for them to produce more. Biden, I don't even know 492 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: if he can answer it. They may have to shoot 493 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: him up with more drugs so that he can be 494 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: able to perform for this thing after two days of 495 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: sitting on the sidelines. But that's the essence of this question, 496 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: and almost no one is asking it.

And if NPR, NPR is saying, hey, things 526 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: a great for Joe Biden, you know, things are not 527 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: good for Joe Biden. Thirty six percent approval in the 528 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: NPR poll that just came down. A couple of details 529 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: here that I thought were interesting independent voters sixty six 530 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: percent disapproval for Joe Biden. That is theoretically the swing 531 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: voters that will decide many elections, certainly in the Purple 532 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: states out there sixty six percent disapproval. And this other 533 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: one I thought was intriguing non white voters. Joe Biden 534 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: forty percent approval rate out there in the country, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic. 535 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: Congratulations to Joe Biden. He has managed to unite the 536 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: rate pieces in the belief that he is an awful president. 537 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: He said he was going to bring Americans together to buck. 538 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: What Joe Biden has managed to do is bring Americans 539 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: together in agreement that he is an absolutely awful president. 540 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: So maybe that's one campaign promise that he is captain. 541 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: Is there an interesting as well, Clay, that this is 542 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: really the best they could do. I mean, think about 543 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party and how grandio, so many of the 544 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: speeches that it gives its various leaders give about how 545 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: they're going to make this country so much better and 546 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: all this stuff. Even Democrats are admitting now, Joe Biden 547 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 1: sucks at this. He's not good at this job. When 548 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: we had Trumpet Office, I was walking around, I was 549 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: telling my audience. I know you were telling your audience 550 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: back in the day too, guys, enjoy this because this 551 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,959 Speaker 1: is about as good as it gets. And I know 552 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: that there was the Russia Gate and all the craziness, 553 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: but peace, a roaring economy, sanity at the top level 554 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: of the government. It was awesome. We're sitting around and saying, 555 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: look at how so this is. You know, in twenty seventeen, 556 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, Joe Biden becomes president and the 557 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: Democrats are going, this isn't so great after all. I 558 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: would also tell you this, there are a lot of 559 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: suburban women out there. They're gonna make big difference in 560 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four. I think this 561 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: is an easy argument to make to them. A lot 562 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: of them did not like Donald Trump personally, and this 563 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: is probably a big debate we're gonna have in twenty 564 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: twenty three as Republicans go about picking the nominee. Would 565 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: you either have mean tweets or five dollars a gallon gas? 566 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: Would you erather have mean tweets or nine point one 567 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: percent inflation? Whatever you didn't like about Trump was primarily 568 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: personality driven. And I'm talking to suburban women right now. 569 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: Would you ever have your kids in school without masks on? 570 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: How about just your kids in school in general? Maybe 571 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: maybe we can't get on Twitter right now, but a 572 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: mean tweet every now and then ain't that bad of 573 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: an issue compared to failing on every level as Joe 574 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: Biden has done well. By the way, we got a 575 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: call from Bill in New Jersey, who is wants to 576 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: talk about this, this whole idea of the Green New 577 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: Deal and what would be required as we try to 578 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: move on. Basically, we would be at we would be 579 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: at nirvana from a green energy standpoint if only everybody 580 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: had an electric car. Bill wants to talk to us 581 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: about the realities of electric vehicle charging. Bill, Thanks for 582 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: calling in good afternoon, gentlemen. I just want to say 583 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: one item. I never hear anybody discuss the vast majority 584 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: of homes in the un service charging an electrical vehicle 585 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: overnight requires a fifty AM charge. You get two three 586 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: electric vehicles at home. Non unreasonable, non uncommon. Virtually every 587 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: home is going to need in their electrical service. The 588 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: grid simply is not designed to handle that. It won't 589 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: support it right now. The utility company's line section is 590 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: right because it's a littleness, it's time. Apparently Bill cell 591 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: phone grid can handle it either. Bill. We appreciate you. 592 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: I think the general argument he's making, and this is 593 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: something that I think a lot of people out there 594 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: who are energy experts are discussing. It is kind of 595 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: funny and comical. If everyone out there had an electric vehicle, 596 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: and if everyone out there tried to charge their electric 597 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,319 Speaker 1: vehicle on the currently existing grids that we have in 598 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: this country, do we have the capacity to actually do 599 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: that or would it knock everybody off of the electric 600 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: grid because we would overload capacity? Right And I'll give 601 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: you an analogy. And I'm not an expert in this, 602 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: but Buck we were just talking about this off air. 603 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: A lot of people are switching to streaming. Right if 604 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: you have a cable or chord cable or satellite package, 605 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: a lot of you are deciding, Hey, you know what, 606 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stream instead. I talked to a bunch of 607 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: people who are involved in streaming. I said, hey, what 608 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,760 Speaker 1: would happen if the Super Bowl were on streaming? And 609 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 1: they said, well, nobody will talk about this, but we 610 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: don't have the ability right now to be able to 611 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: have one hundred million people watch the super Bowl on 612 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: a streaming service because the streaming capacity is not there. 613 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. Buck. If may or pets of the 614 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: world all got their best wish and magically everybody could 615 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 1: buy an electric vehicle, do we have the capacity on 616 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 1: our electric grid right now to be able to allow 617 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,879 Speaker 1: all of those cars to be charging every night all 618 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,479 Speaker 1: over the country. I doubt know. And we certainly don't 619 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: have the capacity to service those energy needs with renewable 620 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: not even close. So we're going to need And whenever 621 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: we ask why don't we have nuclear plants, the environmentalists 622 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: get kind of quiet because they were totally wrong about 623 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: how dangerous nuclear plants were going to be, but Clay, 624 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,280 Speaker 1: it's like so many other things. Central planning at central 625 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: planning leads to catastrophe, always with the best of intentions, 626 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: right just I mean the Green New Deal, it would 627 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 1: be the great Green Leap Forward if we actually did 628 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: the things that they want to say. For anybody who 629 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: forgets Mao's Great Leap Forward. The industrialization of China nineteen sixties, 630 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties led to mass starvation of tens 631 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: of millions of people. Can you imagine, no, Buck, if 632 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: everybody plugged in their electric vehicles and the energy grid 633 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: didn't work and everybody lost electricity? I mean, is it 634 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: is crazy. I see people who have meltdowns if they 635 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: can't find their smartphone within five seconds of looking for it, 636 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: So it would not be good. I'm one of those people. 637 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: That's really I mean, I was kind of talking about myself. Actually, 638 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:41,960 Speaker 1: we come back AOC fake handcuffs. I loved this video 639 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: to me, a perfect representation of what a fake lunatic 640 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: she is. We'll talk about it next. Fleet Travis and 641 00:36:51,239 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the front Lines of Truth seven
