1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay, Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. How are things going at the southern border. 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna address that in a second. Here, Welcome back 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: to Clay and Buck Show. By the administration thinks they're 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: going great. Just so you know, you probably haven't heard 6 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: this one, but it's true. I think doing a great 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: job making sure that as many illegal aliens flow into 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: the United States as possible through as many loopholes and 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: backdoor entries as possible. We'll get into all that in 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: a moment. I just want to say first that the 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: Rittenhouse jury is asking the judge for questions. So does 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: not seem right now live as we're speaking to you, 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: that we're going to have a verdict that is imminent. 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: That's not where we are. Looks like judges are the 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: judges being asked questions by the juries that I go 16 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: back and keep deliberating, it is to me disconcerting, disconcerting 17 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: that you're at a place right now where the jury 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: hasn't already come to a verdict. I do think that 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: the pressure the threats against the jury are certainly playing 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: a role in this, but it could be more than that. 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: We'll be watching this very closely. We'll jump in with 22 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: any updates for you during the show today as they happen. 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: But I mentioned you, and you've noticed I've said for 24 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: a long time, we are at a different place now 25 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: when it comes to the southern border, which in a 26 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: lot of polling is a top three issue right now 27 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: in terms of illegal immigration into this country, a top 28 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: three issue right after you know, the economy and jobs, 29 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: immigrations right there. We don't want the same things the 30 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: Democrat Party does anymore. They're an open borders, pro illegal 31 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: immigration party, and they won't say it because a majority 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: of the country's not with them, but they want that 33 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: as the de facto status. And if you think I'm overstating, 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: although I talked to border patrol and ice people and 35 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: in contact with them and have been out on the 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: border numerous times and can tell you that is what's 37 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: going on. But let's just assume for a second you 38 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: don't want to take my word for it, given that 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: you have an almost all time record of illegal crossings 40 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: this year. What kind of grade do you think the 41 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: head of Department of Homeland Security would give the Biden 42 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: administration on the border. Well, here is Alejandro my orc 43 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: gust chief of DHS. Let's just pull back a little bit, 44 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: just ask some basic questions. Do you believe the Dibiden 45 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: immigration policies are successful, Senator? I think rebuilding a broken 46 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: immigration system and rebuilding a dismantled one takes time. And 47 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: we're on the road to say so, you think we're 48 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: on the right track as a nation, I do. Okay, 49 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: how would you grade yourself, Senator? I'm a tough grader 50 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: on myself, and I give myself an A for effort, 51 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: investment in mission and support of our workforce. I don't 52 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: think he's that tough of a greater book. I'm just 53 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: gonna I'm just gonna toss it out there. If I'm 54 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: trying to think, like you know, every now and then 55 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: we get a progress report for one of my boys, 56 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: right and gets sent home, we have to sign it 57 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: and say, you know, hey, we're seeing all the grades 58 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: and everything else. And if my boys were being as 59 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: Lenia the graders on themselves as majorcas Is here, they 60 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: would all have perfect scores. I mean that's embarrassing. I 61 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: mean it's funny and ridiculous. But the fact that he 62 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: would give himself an A is. I mean, he should 63 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: be removed from his position just based on that aim. 64 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: I don't even need to know anything else. If you 65 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: think you're worthy of an A grade based on what's 66 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: going on at the border, the worst the border has 67 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: been bucked in decades and most of our lives. It's shameful, 68 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: it's embarrassing, and you are so clueless you shouldn't have 69 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: the right to continue to be a cabinet member. He 70 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: did another thing during this testimony yesterday before the Senate, 71 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: the Senate committee that was asking him questions about about 72 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: all of the Senate Judiciary Committee. And you can see 73 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: there's this repeated effort to take an area of failure 74 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: under the Biden administration and then say, well, the way 75 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: to address it is to do this other thing that 76 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: we want you to do. An example, when we see 77 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: the numbers for inflation, for what's going on with the 78 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: economy right now, what do a lot of Biding appointees 79 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: go out there and say, well, you just need to 80 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: get the shot, you need the vaccine mandate to go 81 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: into effect, and then the economy turns around. Oh that's 82 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: really convenient. Here's another one. Here's another one where he 83 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: says that if we want to get our economic recovery going, 84 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: we need we need a mass amnesty. Clay look at that. 85 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm working to pass immigration reform through reconciliation and still 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: unresolved with that will be, but I hope it is achieved. 87 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: The overwhelming the charity of Americans support a pathway to 88 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 1: citizenship for undocumented immigrants, many of whom risk their lives 89 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: to get to America and to stay here and risk 90 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: their lives again during the pandemic. This is a critical 91 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: component of our economic recovery and rebuilding communities since cannot 92 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: wait any longer. Sorry obviously that Senator Dick Durbin. But 93 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: the same point stands, which is that they look at 94 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: the immigration situation, they say, oh, you want to fix 95 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: the economy, give us amnesty. You want to fix the economy. 96 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: Everyone gets the shot this is, you want to fix 97 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: the economy, spend trillions more when you have high inflation already. 98 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: They do the exact wrong thing. They lie, and they 99 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: lie and make you start to question whether you're the 100 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: crazy one. That's what I hear so much from our 101 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: listeners is there's so many wise out there, and the 102 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: lying is delivered with such confidence that all of you 103 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: out there say, wait a minute, like what am I missing? 104 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: And the allies in the media who propagate the wise 105 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: just think about all the lies that we have been 106 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: told by the media buck and how shamelessly they're delivered, 107 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: and when they all fall down, and we can use, 108 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: obviously what happened with the Steel dossier as a recent 109 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: perfect example of this, they just move right along and 110 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: pretend that it never actually occurred. The shamelessness, the duplicity, 111 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: the downright despicable nature of these lies, I'm not sure 112 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: it's ever been more pronounced than what's going on right now. 113 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got the worst border in any of 114 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: our lives. And in front of Congress, the head of 115 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: Border Responsibility, may Orcus, the Cabinet secretary responsible for this disaster, 116 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: gives himself an a Dick Durbin just lied and said 117 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: the vast majority of Americans are in favor of amnesty 118 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: and that it should be able to go through reconciliation, 119 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: something that's already been shot down. The lawlessness at the 120 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: border has so many effects on the rest of the country, 121 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: and that's why it is such a high level issue. 122 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: It also goes in terms of Americans can cern. It 123 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: also goes to is the state in honesty, the big 124 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: s state, the federal government and honest broker in all 125 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: of this With issues like COVID, you know, we have 126 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: all these restrictions. We have illegal immigrants coming in hundreds 127 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: of thousands a month, and a lot of them are 128 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: either untested for COVID, they have COVID whatever it may be. 129 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: People have been distributed to places across the country who 130 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: already had COVID. And this is all going on, Clay 131 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: at a time when a lot of people feel like 132 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: the focus should be on the American people who are 133 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: already here. An example of this is over one hundred 134 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: thousand people. Now, I mean you're looking at the numbers, 135 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: the highest numbers ever for overdose drug overdose. A vast 136 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: majority of those drugs that Americans are dying from overdoses on. 137 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: And sometimes they are so called hot batch, right, they're 138 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: poorly made drugs. The cartels will create fentonel in vats 139 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: in labs in Mexico and then you know, there's no 140 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: quality control. They'll make whatever they make people take get 141 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: they'll die even if they didn't take what was a 142 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: lethal what they thought was a lethal dose. You got 143 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: between ninety and one hundred thousand, I think is the 144 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: latest number. And that's partially a function of you can't 145 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: stop the drugs from flowing into the country when you're 146 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: processing thousands and thousands of illegal migrant crossings every day 147 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: for people who are pretending to be getting asylum in 148 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: this country, when they're just gaming our system. So they're 149 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: all these second order effects too that people you know, 150 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: whether you're in New York, La, Houston, or Nebraska, people 151 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,839 Speaker 1: all across the country know these drugs are flooding in 152 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: their communities. No, we don't have a secure southern border 153 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: and can see the Biden administration is still prioritizing the 154 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: rights of non Americans, which is what an illegal alien 155 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: is as a policy priority. Not only that, buck this 156 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: is also directly tied into COVID policy when we come back. 157 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: One of the reasons why all of these overdose deaths 158 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: have skyrocketed is because we've created isolation for so many addicts. 159 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: They can't go to church, they can't go for long 160 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: periods of time to meet with other people in their 161 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: in their addiction groups. We've isolated people who are most 162 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: in need of direct contact and support and help with 163 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: our COVID. I want to get it right connecting here 164 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: because and you're absolutely right, Clay, but I also want 165 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: to get it right. The statistic I said, I thought 166 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: it was between ninety it's actually over one hundred thousand. 167 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: This is the report that came out today from the CDC. 168 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: Over one hundred thousand overdose debt overdose debts in a 169 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: twelve month period for the first time in the history 170 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: of the United States. Yes, we just had the worst 171 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: month ever of drug overdoses. And why is that happening? 172 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: Fauciism and the isolation and despair that unnecessarily causes with 173 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: all the social distancing and mask up and all that nonsense, 174 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: and a lawless southern border where we have border patrol. 175 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: And they've told me this. I've seen them do this 176 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: processing border patrol is gathering up, you know, thousands of 177 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: people at a time, families who are showing up saying, 178 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, where, where's my sandwich in my water? And 179 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: send me to New York, send me to LA at 180 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: taxpayer expension under night coverage, right so they can land 181 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: without being seen, put me on a plane. And when 182 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: they're doing that, they're not stopping the drug cartels from 183 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: flooding our streets with illegal fence and all these other 184 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: drugs that are out there that are killing now over 185 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand people here. Do you think Fauci stops 186 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: for one second and says, hmm, maybe deaths of despair 187 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: should be factored into whether I'm telling everybody to get 188 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: boostood and a double mask, especially Buck if you factor 189 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: in the age of the deaths of despair, very often 190 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: people in their twenties, their thirties with decades forties of 191 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: life ahead of them, where if you look at lives 192 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: years of life lost, which I do believe is a 193 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: big factor here, because most people who are dying with 194 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: COVID or over the age of eighty, most people who 195 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: are dying of drug overdoses are relatively young and theoretically 196 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: would have decades of life ahead of them. And what 197 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: is the government policy on this? Is there any focus 198 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: on this? Are they securing the border? Are they dealing 199 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: with overdose deaths as though it's an imminent crisis. Nope, 200 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: not at all. Rather talk to you about how you 201 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: need amnesty and get the shot, and if you've got 202 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: a problem with that, they're gonna send Merrick Garland's FBI 203 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: after you don't say too much at the parent the 204 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: parent board meeting. Oh no, that's the big problem they're 205 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: looking at here. We're gonna continue to look at the 206 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: written house trial folks, every minute of this. We're watching 207 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: it closely to make sure that if there is a verdict, 208 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: will bring it to you straight away. And we've also 209 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: got to clay. You see that even some Libs who 210 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: actually understand finance and understand monetary policy are calling out 211 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: the bid administrations reckless and insane spending spree and what 212 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: this is going to do to inflation. So there's even 213 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: some folks on the left who are figuring out, oh, 214 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: this is gonna get really bad. A home that is 215 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: much happier as a home with a four legged companion, 216 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: as you know, a dog, a cat or both. We 217 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: love our pets here on the EIB. They become a 218 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: part of the family, their family members. We want them 219 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: happy and healthy. We want them around for a long time. 220 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: One way of ensuring that is paying attention to what 221 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: you feed them. Therein lays the problem, though, because a 222 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: lot of dog food is actually dead food has to 223 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: be able to sit in a warehouse before sitting on 224 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: the supermarket shelf for maybe years at a time. Dry 225 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: kibble dog food has to go through a sterilization process 226 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: to kill anything that might be alive, and that gets 227 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: rid of the good stuff too. Probiotics, gone enzymes, gone vitamins, 228 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: and healthy microbacteria, all of it gone. The solution, as 229 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: we come to you with solutions here, is adding a 230 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: healthy supplement into your dog's food.

Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton. We 242 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: are rolling through the Wednesday edition of the program, and Buck, 243 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: you were just playing a lot of the audio of 244 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: the disaster at the border with Mayorcas testifying. What's fascinating 245 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: about this is the Biden is a disaster on virtually 246 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: every issue right now. If you look at polling, the 247 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: worst response anywhere in the nation to any individual issue 248 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: is what's going on at the border. And by the way, 249 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: for those of you out there who are just getting 250 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: in the car, just starting off your day with us, 251 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: good news for those of us who have been fighting 252 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: against vaccine mandates. OSHA, as a result of the Fifth 253 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: Circuit ruling, has ceased employ mining their COVID vaccine mandate 254 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: right now. They just posted that on their website. And 255 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: one of the things I've been saying, Buck and some 256 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: people who have listened to us talk about this for 257 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: a while. Mayorcas finally got asked about it. And my 258 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: question that I've been asking is, if it's so important 259 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: that everybody be vaccinated in the United States, why are 260 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: we allowing hundreds of thousands of undocumented illegal immigrants into 261 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: our country and at a bare minimum not vaccinating them too. 262 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: If there's so much authority for Joe Biden, why would 263 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: you not be vaccinating illegal immigrants who have no right 264 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: to come into our country. My argument is because they 265 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: know they don't have the legal authority to do it, 266 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: And as soon as a lawsuit got filed, which would 267 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: happen by someone challenging the constitutionality of that mandate for illegals, 268 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: it would obviously become a precedent. Well, if you can't 269 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: vaccinate illegals entering country, why can you mandate vaccinations for 270 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: American citizens. It's a fair seems like a fair question 271 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: to ask, very fair questions. So Mayorcas got asked about 272 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: this finally, and I would encourage other politicians, a lot 273 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: of staff listens to this, to go after that inconsistency 274 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: in American policy. Wait a minute, Joe Biden, you're mandating 275 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: that citizens get vaccines or lose their jobs, but you're 276 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: not mandating, as a condition of bringing illegal immigrants into 277 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: the country that, at a bare minimum, we give them 278 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine. Listen to majorcas tortured explanation on why you, 279 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: all of you out there who are American citizens, should 280 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: be held accountable for the vaccine mandate, but all the 281 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants who are pouring into our country, Well, no, no, 282 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: they can't get vaccinated. Listen to this. Let's put a 283 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: president who's implementing a national mandate for vaccines for any 284 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: employers over one hundred employees and all federal employees. Why 285 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: shouldn't we mandate that somebody who comes across the border 286 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: illegally shouldn't be vaccinated or that's a reason for expulsion 287 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: under Tattle forty two or any other law. Senator, the 288 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: analysis for migrants encountered it the border is quite different 289 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: than for the federal workforce. That leads by example, your answer, 290 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: this dude is an imbecile. They well, but this is 291 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: what the Biden administration wants, right, He's the implement or 292 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: of their of their lunacy, and I just think it's fasting. 293 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: First of all, why isn't the straightforward policies mentioning Tittle 294 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: forty two. That's a CDC authority to effectively protect the 295 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: United States during a pandemic, which has been used sparingly 296 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: in some ways to prevent some migrants. I league offended 297 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: the United States, but the family unit issue essentially overrode that, 298 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: and no longer they weren't using Title forty two to 299 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: expel families and the Biden administration wants to stop using 300 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: Title forty two entirely. Actually, they're in the process of 301 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: implementing that, just so everybody knows. Why isn't the policy 302 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: get the shot or get out? Yeah, it's very straightforward. 303 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: What is the possible justification for that. We're not making 304 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: you get the shot? You're not supposed to be here 305 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: in the first place. At a bare minimum, if you're 306 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: going to enter into our country, given the fact that 307 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: we're mandating vaccines for citizens, why wouldn't that be a 308 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: condition of entering the country. We will fire members of 309 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: the military apparently in this country who risk their lives, 310 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: risk being maimed and killed in battle for US, will 311 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: fire them for not getting the shot. But illegals can 312 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: come in. It's like, well, it's it's complicated. No, get 313 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: the shot or get out should be the official policy 314 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: of the Biden regime, but we know it's not. And 315 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: the reason why it's not buck is because they know 316 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: they'll get shot down in court if they try to 317 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: do it, and they don't want the precedent out there 318 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: for citizens either.

Do it today. 336 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: Why is the DOJ targeting parents as possible domestic terrorists 337 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,919 Speaker 1: or speaking out at school board meetings? It sounds insane, 338 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: it is, but it also is real. According to this 339 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: whistle blower who has come forward congreston. Jim Jordan's already 340 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: written a letter about it. We'll talk to him later 341 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: in the week. A letter to the DOJ. We're not 342 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: joined by somebody who knows the education apparatus quite well 343 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: in this country, Betsy Divos. She was the Education secretary 344 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: under President Trump. She's also got a book coming out 345 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: next year. Hostages to the cause, The fight for education 346 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: and the future of the American child is divace. Thanks 347 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: for being with us. It's a pleasure to be with 348 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: you both. So let's start with what you're seeing here 349 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: just in the last well last twenty four hours or so, 350 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: but stretching back a little beyond that too, to the 351 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: initial letter put out by the Attorney General about parents 352 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: showing up at school board meetings. As somebody who was 353 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: at the top of the Education department bureaucracy for years, 354 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: what do you make of this? I mean, what do 355 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: you think about as somebody who focuses in on education 356 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: when parents are being targeted for wanting to have a 357 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: bigger say in their kids futures? Well, first of all, 358 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: parents have every right have a lot of say in 359 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: their kids' futures. And this was and is a giant 360 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: overreach and overstep on the part of the federal government. 361 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: What we know is that the National School Boards Association colluded, 362 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: worked with the White House, worked with the Department of 363 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: Justice to complain about the fact that parents were showing 364 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: up at school board meetings asking to know about what 365 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: was going on in their kids' schools, and not more 366 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: than five days later, the DOJ Merrick Garland himself issues 367 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: this memo which talks about going after and investigating parents 368 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: that are simply speaking their minds. Now, clearly threats of 369 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: violence are inappropriate, but local officials, local authorities are meant 370 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: to take care of issues like that. The Department of 371 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: Justice is the top law enforcement entity in the world, 372 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean in our country, and this act was just 373 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: a huge overreach. Now we find that not only has 374 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: this been happening, but they've set up a system to 375 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: internally to track parents and perceived threats of violence wherever 376 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: they occur. Secretary Devas, do you think we talked a 377 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: lot about this on the show. We now have a 378 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: vaccine available for COVID for five two eleven year olds. 379 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: We've seen the Biden administration take as an aggressive of 380 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: a policy position on vaccines as they can do you 381 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: think they may try to mandate federally vaccines in the 382 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: schools for children. Should parents, in your mind be concerned 383 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: about that? Well, I think I think everyone should be 384 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: concerned again about an overreach on the part of the 385 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: federal government into an area that is a family's, a parents' decision. 386 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: And I would not be surprised if this was attempted. 387 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: I think it would be a horrific move, but I 388 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: would not be surprised based on everything else we've seen 389 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: from this Biden administration. We're speaking to former Education Secretary 390 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: under President Trump, Betsy de Vos, Miss Divos, the CRT 391 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: rebellion of sorts that played out in Virginia, most notably 392 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: with the win of Governor elect Glen young Kin and 393 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: the many parents speaking out despite the saber rattling of 394 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: sorts from the DOJ, speaking out against critical race theory 395 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: or really it's offshoots and variations racial Marxism, however people 396 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: want to describe it. How prevalent is that within the 397 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: education bureaucracy, and what can we do about it? Well, 398 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: I think, first of all, the last year and a 399 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: half has really laid there the many failings of our 400 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: public education system, starting with the very long and unnecessary lockdowns, 401 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: keeping kids out of school for well over a year 402 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: in most cases, and making sure that kids fall farther 403 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: and farther behind. I mean, the ones who are hurt 404 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: most are the ones who are most vulnerable, the ones 405 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: who need to be in school absolutely the most. Starting 406 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: with that, and then with the teachers unions continuing to 407 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: play their games to try to get their agenda enacted, 408 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: to get more resources into their system. And so the 409 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: whole critical race theory and all of the issues about 410 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: curriculum have come to the four because parents have finally 411 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: seen what is actually going on in their kids classrooms 412 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: and they're not happy, and justifiably so, what we saw 413 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: in the Virginia governor's race really gave voice to what 414 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: many in the Democrat Party have long known, and that 415 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: is they are controlled by the teachers unions and they 416 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: don't believe that parents should have the control and say 417 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: over their kids education. Terry McAuliffe was the embodiment of that. 418 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: We're talking to former Education Secretary under Donald Trump, Betsy 419 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: de boss. I want to give you a lot of 420 00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: credit for this Secretary. These kangaroo courts inside of colleges 421 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: and universities when it came to sexual assault have been 422 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: absolute disasters procedurally in terms of if you accuse somebody 423 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: of sexual assault on a campus, oftentimes you had no 424 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: right to confront your accuser. You couldn't cross examine them. 425 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: Is that getting worse now that Joe Biden is back 426 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: in office? And for many parents out there who have 427 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: had to go through these situations with their sons or 428 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: their daughters, how broken is that system? And how do 429 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: we fix it and keep it fixed? Well? Great question. 430 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: This was an issue we tackled head on in the 431 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: Trump administration and we went through the arduous rulemaking process 432 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: to make it clear what the responsibilities are on the 433 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: part of campuses when they're a sexual misconduct on campus. 434 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: It gives both those who are the complainant and those 435 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: who are being complained against. It gives them equal rights 436 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: and equal footing and a process and framework under which 437 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: they are supposed to proceed with these things. What we 438 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: saw from the Obama administration that issued only issued a 439 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: dear college, what's called a dear colleague letter that did 440 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: not have the force of law, but they bullied schools 441 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: into actually following it. It was a denial of due 442 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: process in all too many cases, and we saw hundreds 443 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: of cases being brought forward to federal courts and district 444 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: courts that were overturned in favor of the student who 445 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: did not receive due process. That's not right for those 446 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: who are victims. That's not right for those who do 447 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 1: not have due process. It hurts everyone. So our rule, 448 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: our framework, is current existing law, and schools must follow it. 449 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: Mister Vasso, I know your book coming out next year 450 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: about it's called Hostages to the cause, the fight for education, 451 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 1: the future of the American child. You are known and 452 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: were known before your Education secretary as a school choice advocate. 453 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: How close are we or how close could we be, 454 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: perhaps under a different administration, to getting school choice? And 455 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: should that be the central fight right now for parents 456 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: who are concerned other than CRT. Let's say, for parents 457 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: who are concerned about the future of their children's education, 458 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: is school choice the top issue? Absolutely? School choice? Education freedom, 459 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: empowering families to choose the right fit and the right 460 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: setting for their children is an imperative. We're seeing movement 461 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: across the country, and again, this whole COVID pandemic brought 462 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: it all into focus in a way that families had 463 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: never really had to grapple with before. Many families who 464 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: thought they were living in a quote good school district 465 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: were let down by their schools. Now they're seeing curriculums 466 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: that they're appalled by. So giving families the power to 467 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: take their children's education dollars, I like to use the 468 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: metaphor of a backpack. Kids go to school every day 469 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: with the stuff they need for the day. Let's metaphorically 470 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: put the resources for that child in that backpack and 471 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: let the families make the decision as to which school 472 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: and which setting is going to be right for each 473 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: of their children. That is the solution. Long term, having 474 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 1: transparency and on competition in the marketplace for education will 475 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: fundamentally change things for the better for every kid. Former 476 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: Education Secretary Betsy de Vas the book Hostages to the 477 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: Cause coming out next year.

But in the meantime, the infrastructure Bill 524 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: has been signed and Joe Biden is on a road 525 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: tour to try to build support for the infrastructure accomplishment. 526 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: And my goodness, I want to play these cuts for 527 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: you in New Hampshire and listen and think, is this 528 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: a man that is in complete control of his mental faculties? 529 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: I think all of you can tell the answer is no. 530 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: Let's start with cut. Four more fires in the west 531 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: burned to the ground, homes, businesses, and forests than the 532 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: entire state in New Jersey from Cape May to New 533 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: York City. This is the United States of Mary, for 534 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: God's sake. And why is it happening? Well, the severe 535 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: storms and are knocking down all the wires. Anyway, there's 536 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: a lot going on. We have to yslaw builds back 537 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: our bridges, our water systems, our power lines are grids 538 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: and for better and stronger resilience. Oh my gosh, he 539 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: really is the uncle at the Thanksgiving table who's actually 540 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: had a little a little too much to drink. I 541 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: don't think he hunks, but he sounds like he's drunk 542 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: all the time. He's kind of muttering stuff like where 543 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: are Here's a porcupine dancing on a roof. There's a 544 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: couple of apples in an orchard, and you go up 545 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: a tree and boom, lighting strikes, And he looks around 546 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: the room and everyone's like, what are you talking about? 547 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 1: You utter weirdo. Well, I'm just even saying. It's always 548 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: tough when you're at Thanksgiving and you have a family 549 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: member who has lost control of their faculties. But usually 550 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: that family member is not making very many significant decisions, 551 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: even for your family. We have that guy in charge 552 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: of the United States right now. So that was Biden 553 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: trying to discuss infrastructure. I don't even know what he 554 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: was trying to say at the open air, like all 555 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: the fires in California and comparing the crazier whatever he 556 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,719 Speaker 1: says is the more it sounds like he really believes it, 557 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden, he's like, there's fires 558 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: and there's bridges, and there's this stuff is happening all 559 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: over the country. That's never it's like, wait, I can't 560 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: follow you. But he gets more into it, you know, 561 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: he leans into it harder the less sense it actually makes, 562 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: and they put so much of this for him on 563 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: the teleprompter, and he's incapable of even reading what they're 564 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: trying to get him to say. Now, Biden also, that 565 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: wasn't it? That was that was obviously completely incoherent. But 566 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 1: he also tried to talk about how to cross a 567 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: bridge and a snowstorm in New Hampshire and that didn't 568 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: go well either. Let's listen to cut five of our 569 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: esteemed leader conversations around those kitchen tables that are both 570 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: profound as they are ordinary. How do I cross the 571 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: bridge in the snowstorm? What happened? Non? Think about it. 572 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: You know you're in a situation. What happens in the 573 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: bridge collapses and there's a fire on the other side. 574 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: It's gonna take ten miles longer to get to the fire. 575 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: People can die. I mean, this is real, This is 576 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: real stuff. No matter you're shitting at a kitchen table. 577 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: All of a sudden the neighbor's house is getting hitten 578 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: with a flood and you don't have a raft ready, 579 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden porcupine shows up. I mean, 580 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: this is so bad, This is so bad, Like, can 581 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: we play that one more time? I just want you 582 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: to listen. This is Joe Biden talking about why his 583 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: infrastructure bill is so important. How do you cross a 584 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: bridge in a snowstorm? For first of all, I bet 585 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: just about every single person out there who lives in 586 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 1: the Midwest in the Northeast has crossed a bridge in 587 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: a snowstorm. The answer is, you might go a little 588 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,239 Speaker 1: bit slower than you ordinarily would, and most of the 589 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: time the bridge doesn't collapse, and there's also not a 590 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: fire on the other side of it. Be like, listen 591 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: to this. This is so incomprehensibly bad. Imagine what China 592 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: and Russia are thinking when they're getting shared clips of 593 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: the most popular president in the history of the nation, 594 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: according to the left wing in this media. Listen to 595 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: this conversations around those kitchen tables that are both profound 596 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: as they are ordinary. How do I cross the bridge 597 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: in the snowstorm? What happened? No? I then think about it. 598 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 1: You know you're gonna situate what happens in the bridge 599 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: collapses and there's a fire on the other side. It's 600 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: going to take ten miles longer to get to the fire. 601 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: People can die. I mean, this is real. This is 602 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: real stuff. I like when it gets all folksy about 603 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 1: a twish. You know, we don't have broad band for everybody. 604 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: We have infrastructure and a pre sur rabbi and a monk. 605 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: Walk into a bar and you know, step into my 606 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,919 Speaker 1: office because you're fired. You know, you're just like, first 607 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,160 Speaker 1: of all, aren't you from Delaware? What's with all the folks? 608 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: He's also how about all the hypotheticals, Like I have kids, 609 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: and so if you have young kids, they constantly hit 610 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: you with hypotheticals, like every now and then, my wife 611 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 1: will just say, okay, we can't have anymore. My kids 612 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: ask you which animals would win in a fight, because 613 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: we ask my dad that all the time. Who try 614 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: Sarah tops or a stegosaurus? Those are great fun questions, 615 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: but sometimes they get so detailed that you're just like, 616 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: I don't I don't even know. Like we're not sitting 617 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: around the table having a normal conversation about how a 618 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: bridge may collapse and there might be a fire on 619 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 1: the other side. Nobody's gonna be able to get there. 620 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: That's not annoying, like, hey, what did you talk about 621 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: at dinner? Well, how your day went? What would happen 622 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: if a bridge collapsed in a snowstorm and there was 623 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: a fire on the other side and people weren't able 624 00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: to get to it. But now because of the infrastructure bill, 625 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna die in that fire in the snowstorm, with 626 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: the bridge collapsing. Like, this is all really weird stuff. 627 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,439 Speaker 1: And this is I honestly, we talked a lot about 628 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment. It was on television all the 629 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: time when Donald Trump was president. Guy is a mental savant. 630 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: Compared to what's going on with Joe Biden right now. 631 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: He used to do two and a half three hours 632 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: at a time, scripted, unscripted in a stadium with you know, 633 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: sixty thousand people or whatever following It was every word 634 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 1: he said. It was riveting and people would watch it. 635 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: It was the best thing on TV at the time, 636 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 1: and he would say clever and amusing. It might have 637 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: enraged the left, but it was clever, it was funny, 638 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: it was it was coherent. And they're telling us that 639 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 1: this is the best they can do on the I 640 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: mean the Democrats. That's the part of it that I 641 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: find as offensive as anything else. Really, Guys, this is 642 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 1: what you came up with for us, for America to 643 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: unite us to take us back to normal. This guy 644 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: who's yelling about crossing a bridge in a snowstorm and 645 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,799 Speaker 1: kitchen table conversations, he's such a phony, Clay. This guy 646 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: has been living in Man for the last thirty years. 647 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 1: He does it. He's not a kitchen table bridge talk guy. 648 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: Not only that, Buck, this is the best he's going 649 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: to be. His mental faculties are getting worse every single 650 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 1: day with the stresses of the presidency. What in the 651 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: world is this guy gonna be capable of in twenty 652 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty twenty three. That's why, that's why America. 653 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: Oh God that maybe the only thing worse than Joe 654 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: Biden is Kamala I can't believe I'm saying that, but 655 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 1: I would rather have Biden in his inconsequential meandering idiocy 656 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: than Kamala and her flat out communism. I mean, this 657 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: is awful. More on written House coming up. You're listening to, 658 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,040 Speaker 1: Clay Travis said, Buck Sexton fund the EIB Network
