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 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome and everybody to the Wednesday edition. 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: Always happy when I get the day right of the 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. So we have a 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: lot going on to talk to you all about today. Obviously, 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: we'll dive in just a second here to the gas 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: tax holiday situation. Is the Biden regime really gonna pull 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: this at the last minute and do everything that they 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: can to buy off the voters, which is really what 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: this is. It is it is a gimmick to borrow 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: a term from a Democrat administration. We'll dive into that 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: here in just a second. And we've also got more 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: updates on what happened at UV all day. We'll be 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: discussing that with you in a little bit. Just say, 15 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: the details keep getting worse for the law enforcement response. 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: With more information comes more outrage unfortunately about what happened there. 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: We will discuss that with you. Also, some major US 18 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: cities are having a particularly high year for violence right now, 19 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: including New York and Los Angeles, after all time records 20 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: in places like Philadelphia and other cities last year. So 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: you're seeing cities that are having their worst years of 22 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: violence in a long time, and even some that are 23 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: having their worst years ever. And when you look at 24 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: some of the Democrat policies that are being pushed by 25 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: progressive prosecutors like Gascone and Krasner, I would say Boudan, 26 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: but he just got recalled. There's others that we have 27 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: to discuss, others that we have to talk about here 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: as well. That's an important story. We've also got Senator 29 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: Josh Holly joining us to talk about the gun control 30 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: legislation Senates pushed through here. I mean they call it bipartisan, 31 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: and it technically it is bipartisan. There's a whole lot 32 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: more to discuss here about how it's not really going 33 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: to do very much, if anything, I would say anything 34 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: that's good. It will also leave some open territory for 35 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: abuse of some of the regulations. And we've got our 36 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: friend Ian Miller, who is great on the topic of 37 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: masks not working and vaccines being overpromised. When it comes there, 38 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: he'll be joining us third hour two. So show is 39 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: racked and stacked, and I'm here, of course with my 40 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: main man, Clay. I'm still down in Key Largo, which 41 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: is quite a lovely place to be. Clay is in 42 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: Atlanta and Clay So the federal gas tax, Hollott, let's 43 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: just start with this. Even the gas CEOs who usually 44 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: you'll notice, they don't usually get into the political fray 45 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: because a lot of regulation. They just want to keep 46 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: pumping their oil, doing their business. I know there's obviously 47 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: lobbyists and such, but they don't speak out against politicians 48 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: that frequently. The Chevron CEO has said Biden basically doesn't 49 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: know what the heck he's talking about. Here is Biden's 50 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: response play clip one good question on the Chevron CEO's 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: complaint Today. He said that your administration has largely criticized 52 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: the oil and gas industry and at times has vilified it, 53 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: and that the administration would need to take a change 54 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: in approach in order to make progress. I'm reducing energy 55 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: prices and to increase supply. Do you have a reaction 56 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: to that, surf I didn't know if they get that quickly. 57 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: I mean, does it really think it's a time for jokes? 58 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: Clay people can't afford gas. The gas CEO is saying 59 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: the Biden regime is clownish and he thinks it's funny 60 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: here's what's going on. The Democrats know that nothing else matters. 61 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: All the distractions they're trying to throw up surrounding January sixth, 62 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: the potential impact as we go forward, surrounding whatever the 63 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: Supreme Court does with Roe v. Wade, All of it 64 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: is a big distraction that is not taking away attention 65 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: from eight point six percent inflation and how angry every 66 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: single person is when they go to pump their gas 67 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: and it's five dollars a gallon. That is every single time. 68 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: The essence of this, and the problem with the gas 69 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: tax holiday is it's not going to do anything other 70 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: than provide a short term show. And the biggest issue 71 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: the Biden administration has is all of the oil and 72 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: gas companies know that the Biden administration is opposed to 73 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: everything that they do and every aspect of their business. 74 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: So take it outside of gas. If you knew that 75 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: there was a government that hated what your business was 76 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: and they were suddenly desperate for your product because there 77 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: was a midterm election coming up, would you invest billions 78 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: of dollars in production when you knew that as soon 79 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: as they possibly could, they would cut your legs out 80 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: from underneath you and what was a profitable business would 81 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: rapidly decline in profitability because remember Bucket, wasn't very long 82 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: ago that we were talking about gas prices going negative. 83 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: Do you remember that, Like in March and April of 84 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty when everybody was supposed to stay at home 85 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: and all this oil was being delivered to the United 86 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: States and the price of a barrel of crude oil 87 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: actually went into negative territory because there was nowhere to 88 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 1: store it and there was no consumption product in place. 89 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: That's what they're afraid of. They're afraid of creating a 90 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: situation where they're drastically oversupplying a market that is trying 91 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: to cut the legs out of the business that they 92 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 1: are in the middle of. And so there's no trust, 93 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,799 Speaker 1: there's no reciprocity here, there's no reproachment, there is no 94 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: relationship because ultimately Democrats want oil and gas, anything other 95 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: than so called clean energy, to vanish and to vanish forever. 96 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 1: And Biden is trying to make the oil and gas 97 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: companies responsible for the price of oil and gas, when 98 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: if he had allowed the full fruition of our production 99 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: from the first place, he wouldn't be going on bended 100 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: need of Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Iran begging for them 101 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: to increase production so that we can replace what we're 102 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: losing in Russia. They don't have any plans, folks, not really. 103 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: At this point, it is down to gimmicks. You have 104 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: to wonder at what phase will Biden just decide to 105 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: send Biden stimulus checks even though we're going through a 106 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: terrible period of inflation, to effectively buy off as many 107 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: voters as possible at the very end here. And they 108 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: can't have it both ways either. You can't have the 109 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: Biden regime talking about a move that will bring down 110 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: gas prices and Biden doing everything he can on gas prices. 111 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: But it's not as fault that gas prices are high, right, Well, 112 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: no one's saying it's all his fault. Nothing at a 113 00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: macroeconomic level is ever entirely the sitting president's fault. But 114 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: has he made it worse? Has he made the wrong moves? Yes, 115 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 1: clearly obviously, everybody, including the CEOs of all the fossil 116 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: fuel energy companies, but also everybody who's had to pump 117 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: gas for the last six months. Nos. Yeah, this administration 118 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: has made things more painful, more difficult, and you know 119 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: you still, Clay, I love this. You've got like these. 120 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: The Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm can't help herself. John Kerry 121 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: can't help himself. They're going around here, You go here, 122 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: Graholm saying, yeah, look, things are tough, but what a 123 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: great opportunity while you can't afford to drive to work, 124 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: to transition to green energy. Place seven. We've got obviously 125 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: all of this upheaval, We've got the coming out of 126 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: the pandemic, we've got this obvious invasion of Ukraine on 127 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: the energy side, and we've got the moment to think 128 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: and act strategically about lifting up communities and building these 129 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: supply chains out and building out the installations in a 130 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: way that give everyone a chance to succeed. The sixty 131 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: four thousand dollars electric vehicle solution to five dollars gas 132 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: is maybe the most Marie Antoinette esque move of any 133 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: modern political party during our lives. Remember Debbie stab Now, 134 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: the Senator from Michigan, bragging about how she had driven 135 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: from Michigan to DC and she just kept driving past 136 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: in her brand new electric vehicle, all of the high 137 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: gas prices and ultimately what's wild here, buck is Barack 138 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: Obama actually pointed this out some time ago, that everything 139 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: about a gas tax holiday was a gimmick. He said 140 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: it back in two thousand and eight. And I would 141 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: imagine there'll be a lot of people playing this because 142 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: obviously Joe Biden was the vice president of Barack Obama 143 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: at the time that this was said. And guess what Obama, 144 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: at least on this scenario was one hundred percent right. Listen. 145 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: But for us to suggest that thirty cents a day 146 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: for three months is real relief, that that's a real 147 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: energy policy means that we are not tackling the problem 148 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: that has to be tackling. We are offering gimmicks when 149 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: we're offering the same thing that John McCain's offering on 150 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: the cheat. That means we're not presenting a truthful response 151 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: to the challenges that we face in America. We can 152 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: do better than that. This time. It's a gimmick. It's 153 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: a gimmick. Luck. I would love to hear Joe Biden 154 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: actually directly questioned on this. Of course it rarely happens, 155 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: but hey, your former president set a gas tax holiday 156 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: was a gimmick. Why was he wrong. I would love 157 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: to hear that Joe Biden's response to that, and that 158 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: they also know Clay where this is all heading. A 159 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: Biden administration that has a Republican major already in the 160 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: House and even a slim majority in the Senate isn't 161 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 1: going to get any major legislation through. You're going to 162 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: hear a lot of class warfare stuff, and obviously depending 163 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: on the Republican candidate, there'll be a real focus on 164 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, January sixth, all the things that we can expect. 165 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: But then it really turns into politically, this country after 166 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: the midterms is going to shift right into presidential election mode, 167 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: and it's there's not going to be some long holiday. 168 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 1: There's not going to be a honeymoon period of you know, 169 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: a year in between. We're going to be shifting right 170 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: toward and at that point, with Biden not able to 171 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: point to any achievements, and with all the pain that 172 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: we're seeing economically in this country, never mind all the 173 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: other dysfunction that we talk about. Legal immigration, worst it's 174 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: ever been, violent crime the worst it's ever been in 175 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: a number of cities a nationwide, the worst it's been 176 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: in decades. All these things just point in one direction. 177 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: And that is for the one thing that Democrats and 178 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: the apparatus are really responsive to, the imminent loss of power, 179 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: the massive loss of authority. That's where they're heading. And 180 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: so you're already seeing the desperation, right, I mean, come on, 181 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: a gas tax holiday is desperate. Honestly, Biden. Even tapping 182 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, it's not really what it's 183 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: for now. Politicians play games with things like this, but 184 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: that's supposed to be in the case of an embargo 185 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: or award. It's not just gas price a little high. 186 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: Let's buy off the voters a little bit. Let's tell 187 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: them I'm doing something. The thing that they could do 188 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: is encourage not just exploration, not just refining, Encourage fossil 189 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: fuel domestic production, and say we're not going to stand 190 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: in your way this year or in four years or 191 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: in ten years. We understand this is where the economy is. 192 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: They ideologically cannot do that. That is where the rubber 193 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: meets the road. Drill, baby, drill. I remember someone distilling 194 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: the question of what we should do when it came 195 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: to oil and gas, and that is exactly what should 196 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: be done. But you're right, when your entire party is 197 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: predicated on the idea of climate change as a destructive 198 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 1: force that must be resolved, then the Green New Deal 199 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: energy policies mean you can't actually solve an energy crisis 200 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: that has emerged and is continuing to grow and is 201 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: probably going to lead to higher gas prices throughout the 202 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: course of the summer. And Buck, the discussion here is 203 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: about a gas tax holiday until September. Do you really 204 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: think they would end it in September or do you 205 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: think they would extend it to Oh, I don't know, 206 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: November tenth, maybe through Thanksgiving. Oh, we're going to give 207 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: everybody a little bit of a break. And I can't 208 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: even wait. We'll have to talk about this as it 209 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: gets closer to July fourth, more in earnest. Remember last 210 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: year when the Biden White House put out the statement 211 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: that you were saving sixteen cents on your Fourth of 212 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: July barbecue over the year before thanks to the Biden 213 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: economic Those pork rib tasted so much better with the 214 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: two bits that I was saving or whatever. You know 215 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: that the twelve and a sixteen cents that you were saving. 216 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: We'll talk about this and more. And also you mentioned 217 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Got some great guests coming down the line. 218 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: But you know one person who is not requesting the 219 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump endorsement, Ron De Santis Politico with an interesting 220 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: story there about looking ahead and where we might be headed. 221 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, I want to tell you most 222 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: guys don't go shopping for shoes with a lot of frequency. 223 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: We just had Father's Day. How often do you need 224 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: to buy dad some new shoes because you don't like 225 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: what he's wearing. Buck and I just had our one 226 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: year anniversary.

Are you ready to 249 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: get your shot every year? And I mean every year, 250 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: and by shot I mean the COVID vaccine that they're 251 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: going to keep update. I know a lot of you 252 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: are shouting no, But the CEO of Visor he's got 253 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: a different plan in mind. We'll talk about this in 254 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: a second. We've been calling this out for now over 255 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: a year. This was going to be the plan. More 256 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: on this one, and yes we were right. Once again. 257 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: We're joined on this issue of where we stand in 258 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: the fight against COVID tyranny. By our friend Ian Miller 259 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: ofoutkick dot com. That's right. He went to work with 260 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: Clay at OutKick. It's a smart man. He also was 261 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: the author of Unmasked in its Clay being nice. Absolutely, 262 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: he's been great so far, been been thrilled. It's really exciting, fantastic, 263 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: expect nothing less. So tell me, my friend this. Actually, 264 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: let's have let's play the CEO of a visor Bordelaw 265 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: telling everybody, you know, yeah, shots every year. Let's let's 266 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: play that that audio. Do you think we're going to 267 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: get updated mRNA vaccines every season that will be directed 268 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: to each new variation of the coronavirus? And what we 269 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: have to take those shots every year. I'm almost certain 270 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: about it. And I say almost certain because of course 271 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: regulators have the final stay and all of that. But 272 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: that's the beauty of mRNA. You can adopt your vaccine, 273 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: us play change in the sequencing, which is a very 274 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: minor change. I mean, you've been on this all along, 275 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: doing great research. They're straight up telling us now that 276 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: afies or yeah, you'r mRNA shots forever. That's the plan, right, 277 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: And it's it's kind of absurd that he says it 278 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: that way, because you know, they haven't updated it so far, 279 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: even though we've had multiple different variants, and you know, 280 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: as we've seen sometimes there will be three or four 281 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: different variants that emerge in a year, and you know, 282 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: so he the thing is going to update three or 283 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: four times a year, he's supposed to go get three 284 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: or four shots per year, or is he going to 285 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: update for the first strain that emerges, which will then 286 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: be too late because we'll have two other ones by 287 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: the end of the year. You know. And on top 288 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: of the fact that the effectiveness of the vaccines has 289 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: clearly been waiting, and not just in terms of infection, 290 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: but in terms of hospitalizations as well. So it's it's 291 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: just kind of a certain it honestly feels like they're 292 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: just trying to sell more product going forward. Yeah, that's 293 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: the part ian that really jumps out to me. If 294 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: you had a federal mandate that someone had to buy 295 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,239 Speaker 1: a for profit product and that they had to do 296 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: it every year as far into the future as you 297 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: could see, wouldn't that raise a lot of red flags 298 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: for many people? And doors shouldn't it? In addition to 299 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: the fact that it's not working very well. An annual 300 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: subscription vaccine and vaccine as in quotation marks is probably 301 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: the best recurring profit margin that fiser could ever hope for, 302 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: given how large the addressable market is and how many 303 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: places are requiring that that market continue to buy that product. 304 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: I take it outside of just COVID shots. It feels 305 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: incredibly dirty to me that we're even in this situation. Absolutely, 306 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine a better business model than saying 307 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: we have to update our product every year, and the 308 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: federal government's going to mandate that you take it for 309 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: many you know, contractors or employers, government employees. On top 310 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: of you know, you see things like colleges that are 311 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: mandating booster shots for healthy eighteen and nineteen year old 312 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: college students. I've recently read about a story a Stamford 313 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: student was going to be banned from receiving his diploma, 314 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: banned from graduating because he refused to comply with their 315 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: booster mandate even though we'd already had COVID. And you know, 316 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: that's another aspect of this that has completely forgotten often 317 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: is that you know, CDC is as estimated, seventy five 318 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: percent of kids have already had COVID, and yet a 319 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: lot of schools are going to be mandating the full 320 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: series of vaccinations, then a booster, and now presumably boosters 321 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: indefinitely for kids that have already been exposed to COVID 322 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: and have some natural community and protection. We're speaking of. 323 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: Ian Mill of OutKick dot com also got a great book, Unmasked, 324 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: and he was the guy for any of you who 325 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: are on Twitter who was sharing out the graphs of 326 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: mask mandates all along and where they went into effect, 327 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: and how they didn't work over and over again. In fact, 328 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: they didn't work anywhere. And yet we still have people 329 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: I saw people today, Clay even down here wearing masks 330 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: that people are still voluntarily not under mandate. But the 331 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: Democrat Fauci apparatus still believes in this stuff. Ian, I 332 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: want to ask you also, what's your sense is about this? 333 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: From the very beginning of the COVID pandemic, we were told, 334 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: and it's become I think seared into our brains that 335 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: this was a once in a century pandemic. They spent 336 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: trillions of dollars. A lot of that money, as we 337 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: see now, was poorly spent, didn't actually help anything, and 338 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,719 Speaker 1: has created massive inflation. But Biden's out there telling everybody, well, 339 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: it's time to set up more spending for the next pandemic, 340 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 1: as if it's right around the quarter. Here's what the 341 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: here's what the Biden White House is saying about this 342 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: play that cut. Please eight, how many of the nation's 343 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: kids will you be able to get vaccinated before you 344 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: need more money from timers? Well, we'll get through least 345 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: this year. We do need more money, but we don't 346 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: just need more money for vaccines for children. Eventually we 347 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: need more money to fan for the second pandemics. There's 348 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: going to be another pandemic. We have to think ahead. 349 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: So first of all, need more money for shots for 350 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: kids that kids don't actually need based on the data. 351 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: And Biden seems very certain that the next once in 352 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: a century pandemic is right around the corner. Yeah, that's 353 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: it's very concerning to hear them say that. And of 354 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: course that money will be distributed to the same public 355 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: health bureaucrats and supposed experts that have completely failed during 356 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: this once in a century pandemic. You know that all 357 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: of the measures that they did, the interventions have completely failed. 358 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: You know, That's what the book is about. It's all 359 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: my writing. A lot of my writing has been about 360 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: showing that all these things that we did that as 361 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: we're now experiencing, have had a huge tremendous unintended consequences 362 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: and side effects. They all failed. So in response to that, 363 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: which most people now universally kind of agree that it 364 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: was a failure, in response, we need to give them 365 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: more money to prepare for whatever next. Once in essentially 366 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: pandemic is coming. And that's a major concern that all 367 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: these measures that we seem don't work are going to 368 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: continue to be brought back in the future now because 369 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: the public health experts and democrats have decided they work 370 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: based off of no data whatsoever. Ian, you just mentioned 371 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: that seventy five percent of kids, based on data from 372 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: the spring, have already been exposed to COVID. Yesterday, kids 373 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: ages six months to five years old became eligible for 374 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: COVID shots, and again some of them are gonna have 375 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: to get three shots. This is, as you heard from 376 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: the Fiser CEO, potentially going to be going forward for 377 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: years to come. You wrote about the data at OutKick 378 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: and did a great job there. What would you tell 379 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: parents out there listening to us right now? The data 380 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: shows about the efficacy levels for six months to five 381 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: year old COVID shots given the fact that seventy five 382 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: percent of these kids essentially have already had COVID at 383 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: least right, well, I think the data is shown pretty 384 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: conclusively the natural immunity provides better protection against infection and 385 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: severe outcomes than the vaccines do for all age groups, 386 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: but especially for children, there's there's really been no benefit, 387 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: and the trials didn't even present a benefit. You know. 388 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: Their own estimates of vaccine efficacy for these age groups 389 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: was for the first like I think it was six 390 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: months to two years, was something like fourteen percent against 391 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: infection and then thirty percent against the severe infection for 392 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: the slightly older age groups, So that would have failed 393 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: the initial standard that the FDA set. They initially wanted 394 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: fifty percent efficacy to emergency authorize a vaccine. This would 395 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: have for kids, but they approved it anyway, and because 396 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: they changed how they measured it by using something called 397 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: immuno bridging. I mean, it's it's really ludicrous, and they 398 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: try to justify it by presenting COVID as a leading 399 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: cause of death for these younger age groups. Except the 400 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: way that they measured this leading cause of death ranking 401 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: was completely misleading, which is what I wrote about Route kicked, 402 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 1: that they kind of conflated two different ways of counting 403 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: to make it appear that COVID is deadli or for 404 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: young kids than it actually is. So it's really it's 405 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: another concerning incident of the CDC kind of manipulating data 406 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: to try to get the outcome they want. And you know, 407 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: I preparents would be I would be very hesitant. You know, 408 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: we don't have a lot of great long term safety 409 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: data on this for this age group, and there really 410 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: was no significant benefit jump by the FDA we're speaking of. 411 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: Ian Miller of OutKick dot Com has a great book 412 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: on the failure of mask mandates called Unmasked. Ian, I 413 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: just want to know, based on you've been following the 414 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: COVID issue very closely for a long time now, and 415 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: it seems to me that when they're talking about vaccines 416 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: for kids, covidvaccines for kids and also omicron specific vaccines, 417 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: that we have to assume that it's going to be 418 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: a new then multiple dose right or if not, why not? 419 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: Because it seems to me that the vaccine that is 420 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: currently a proof for children is a three dose vaccine, 421 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: as I understand it, because the first two showed no 422 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: real efficacy whatsoever, so they said, let's just give him 423 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,959 Speaker 1: another shot. Well, if they're going to do an omicron 424 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: specific shot, wouldn't that then also likely be three mRNA doses? 425 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, won't we probably be facing 426 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: a non omicron new variant this fall again? If not? 427 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: Why not? Yeah, exactly, that's a great point. This series 428 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: is three doses, but it's based off the same vaccine 429 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: that they're giving to adults. I think it's different dosages, 430 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: but it's three shots. And then, exactly, as you say, 431 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 1: if they need to update a phramicron, is that going 432 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: to be another three dose series? And then for the 433 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: next variant, another three dose series after that. And again, 434 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: by the time they even get the almicron variant up, 435 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: there will likely be another new dominant variant that has 436 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: popped up. As we've seen, it moves very quickly with 437 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: the strains of the coronavirus. And so again it's it's 438 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 1: like we're doing we're trying to do something that doesn't 439 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: really have a demonstrable benefit for this age group who's 440 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: had an incredibly low risk for serious illness from COVID anyway. 441 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: I mean the COVID was something like twenty five times 442 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,159 Speaker 1: less likely to cause death among young children than accidents. 443 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: But you know, and then down the road, we're going 444 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: to keep adding more and more shots to this series 445 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: when we don't really have any long term data on 446 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: it yet and we haven't demonstrated clear benefit. It's really 447 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: to me, it's inexcusable that the I mean clay it 448 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: really is the sixth or the ninth or the twelfth 449 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: shot though, that will solve it forever. Yeah, Ian, you 450 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: wrote a great book about masks and how poorly they worked. 451 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: By the way, I'd encourage all of you go follow 452 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: at E. N. M sc on Twitter. He does a 453 00:25:54,840 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: fantastic job giving you data and analytics surrounding this by plays. 454 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: Buck basically lives on Broadway starting July, I do I 455 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: live above a Broadway theater? Essentially? Yes, yes, I mean 456 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: July first, they are going to end the mask mandate 457 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: on Broadway plays. Why in the world are they randomly 458 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: deciding to do this? And has there been any justification 459 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: whatsoever for wearing masks inside of Broadway plays? Based on 460 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,160 Speaker 1: the data that you have seen across the country. Well, 461 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: of course not. And it's funny because you know, we've 462 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: had NBA events that are essentially the same thing, twenty 463 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: thousand people in an enclosed arena going on for months 464 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: with no negative impacts, with no mask required anywhere. I mean, 465 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 1: we just saw the NBA Finals with nobody wearing a 466 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: mask in any either of the venues, and it's it's 467 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: been kind of ludicrous that they've continued it this long 468 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: and this has been what they do. They've pick an 469 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: arbitrary date and it's like, oh, it'll be safe July first, 470 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 1: you know, why not June twenty eighth. Oh, nobody has 471 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: an explanation. What's also concerning, though, is that they said 472 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: that they're going to reevaluate that decision every month, So 473 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: you know, you could buy a ticket for a Broadway 474 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: show expecting to go to have it be mask free, 475 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: and then the next month they could decide, actually, we 476 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: need to bring it back now based off of nothing, 477 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: and then you could, you know, have spent three hundred 478 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: dollars on a ticket and be forced to wear a mask. 479 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: So it's another episode of this kind of ludicrous, arbitrary 480 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: thinking that these the mask canatics do, and it's it's 481 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: kind of crazy. No matter how much data accumulates that 482 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: there are still some segments of the population and just 483 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: can't give it up. He's Ian Miller. Were excited to 484 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: have him writing at OutKick. You can go check him 485 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: out at OutKick dot com.

We're rolling through the Wednesday edition of 521 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: the program and I tease this as we went to break, 522 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of discussion on this show. 523 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a reality. I believe 524 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: that Ronda Santis, governor of Florida, is going to be 525 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: running against Donald Trump for the twenty twenty four presidential 526 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: nomination on behalf of the Republican Party. And Politico has 527 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: a story that went up early this morning that Rhonda 528 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:20,479 Speaker 1: Santis is not asking for Donald Trump's indorsement in the 529 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: state of Florida, according to four people I'm reading from Politico. 530 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: According to four people connected to the governor and former president, 531 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: DeSantis has not asked Trump for a formal endorsement and 532 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: isn't planning to. It's a clear sign de Santis, who 533 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: more than four years ago was a little known congressman 534 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: from northeast Florida, has risen high in the gop stratosphere, 535 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: and they are expecting now that there is going to 536 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: be There's a New Yorker article we talked about it 537 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: that hinted edit had quotes from Trump. I think that 538 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: we are headed for a major battle between DeSantis and 539 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: Trump in twenty twenty three. As we run into the 540 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four presidential election, now things can still change. 541 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: Buck Rohn de Santis has got to win reelection in 542 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: Florida this November. His wife has been unhealthy. She had 543 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: breast cancer. Appears fortunately to have recovered from that, but 544 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: there are potential health considerations there. Trump is obviously over 545 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: the age of seventy five. He seems to be in 546 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: great health right now, but that's always worth mentioning two. 547 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: But it appears increasingly likely that that is going to 548 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: be a battle of Leviathans in the Republican Party for 549 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four's nomination. I feel like the rest of 550 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: the country is going to have to ask for Rhn 551 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: de Santis too. They got to ask Floridians to be 552 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: willing to part with their favorite governor because we got 553 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: audience is now listening Fla, Tampa, Iod, Miami, all up 554 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: the southern, all up South Florida, and then you know, 555 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: on the side of the west side hand handle world, 556 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: I mean everything, and we got a big on. Everyone 557 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: is the capital of the Republican Party now and both 558 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: these guys live there, and so it's just gonna be 559 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: a It's gonna be so interesting to see it. But 560 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: I know they don't want to give up their governor 561 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: and he's heading into to a presidential Well, let's be honest. 562 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: I mean, do they want to even give him up 563 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: to the to the White House, But certainly even to 564 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: a presidential election would be a big, a big shift 565 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: in focus that would have curled. I think people can 566 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: handle keep people do handle both those things. I just 567 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,479 Speaker 1: say this though, Clay, Um he's gonna win reelection. It 568 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 1: looks like in the governor's race in Florida, not by 569 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: a little bit, but by a major amount, and also 570 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,479 Speaker 1: will have changed the registrations of hundreds of thousands from 571 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: down a few hundred thousand to the Democrats to upstate 572 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: wide a few hundred thousand Republican. So we live in 573 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: interesting times, Clay, that is. I just don't want our 574 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: to be shocked by this coming battle. We want to 575 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: keep you up up data that I believe is going 576 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: to happen. These uncertain financial times are all too real. 577 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: You're seeing it everywhere. Rates going up, everything getting more expensive, 578 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: and the dollars you have in your bank account worth 579 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: less and less with each passing month. It's what inflation does. 580 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: So how can you protect yourself? How can you diversify 581 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: to make sure that you are maintaining as much of 582 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: the value you've worked hard to save up to this point. Gold, 583 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm talking about real gold and sober you can actually 584 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: hold in your hands. I've been buying from the Oxford 585 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: Gold Group for years, so the market leaders for good reason. 586 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: Their advice and eads or ease of purchase execution is 587 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: second to none.

This week. 594 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 1: We have a chance to break this thirty year period 595 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: of silence with a bill that changes our laws in 596 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: a way that will save thousands of lives. It is 597 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: a compliment, It is a bipartisan compromise. It is a 598 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: path forward to the way that both Republicans and Democrats 599 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 1: can work together to address some of the most vexing, 600 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: most difficult challenges this nation faces. We have a chance 601 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: to show parents and kids and families that we take 602 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 1: their safety seriously and we are prepared to do not 603 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: just something, but something that saves lives in order to 604 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: protect them. I would send a Democrat Chris Murphy on 605 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: the Senate advancing this bypartisan gun restriction legislation. What does 606 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: it do actually and why are they claiming that it 607 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,760 Speaker 1: will save lives? In what way would this save lives? 608 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: And what ways would this perhaps create due process and 609 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: even constitutional concerns. We're joined by Senator Josh Holley of Missouri, 610 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: who has a lot of thoughts on this and more. 611 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: Senator always, good to have you, Hey, thanks for having me, 612 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: great to be with you. What do you think of 613 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: this legislation? And we were trying to talk about this 614 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 1: on the show and the last couple of weeks, and 615 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: it was always, well, it's a framework, there's no text, 616 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: and now did anyone even see this text before they 617 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,399 Speaker 1: voted on it. It feels like they did this one 618 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: behind closed doors and no one gets to know what's 619 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: going on. Yeah, that's about right, that's about right. It's 620 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,879 Speaker 1: weeks of closed door negotiations where nobody knows exactly what's 621 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: going on. And then yesterday, in typical DC fashion, they 622 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: dropped the bill eighty some pages into our laps and say, okay, 623 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 1: now vote on it. You know, it's just incredible, especially 624 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: for legislation as fundamental as this that touches and affects 625 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: every law abiding citizen Second Amendment right. So I voted 626 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: no on this and I'm opposed to it. What the 627 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: bill does, see answer your question a second ago, as 628 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,320 Speaker 1: it pays states to set up programs to take away 629 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights from lawbyding citizens. By the way, that 630 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: includes nineteen states that already have these red flag laws 631 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,839 Speaker 1: where you don't get due process before your guns are 632 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: taken away, where you can be accused and have them 633 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: taken away before there's any crime that you're accused of, 634 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: let alone convicted of. All of those states are going 635 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: to get money under this bill. They're going to get paid, 636 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: and all the other states are going to get paid 637 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 1: and encouraged to set up laws like this. So this 638 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: is not a bill that I can support, not by 639 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: a mile, and to me, it doesn't do anything to 640 00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: address the real problem here, which is crime. In criminals 641 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: who commit acts of violence with firearms, they're the ones 642 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,959 Speaker 1: who ought to be punished here, not lawbiding citizens. Yeah, Center, Holly, 643 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: I'm glad you mentioned that, because Buck and I have 644 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: talked about on the show that even if we were 645 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,239 Speaker 1: able to eliminate every mass shooting in this country, which 646 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: certainly we would be in favor of, ninety nine percent 647 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: of violence would still be occurring. Why do you think 648 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 1: the conversation never goes to, Hey, let's put way more 649 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: cops back out on the streets and let's put violent 650 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: criminals behind bars for longer periods of time, two things 651 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: we did in the nineties that were proven to drastically 652 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: improve overall quality of life and reduce violence in this country. 653 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,719 Speaker 1: And yet it's almost as if that can't be discussed 654 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: in any measure. Yeah. And the reason for that, Clay, 655 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: is the Democrats are pro criminal. I mean, that's why. 656 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: These are the people who think that we have too 657 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: many people in jail and that we have sentences that 658 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: are too lengthy, and that we ought to just let 659 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: folks out. And they're doing that, by the way, all 660 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: over the country. This is why we have a crime wave, 661 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: is because all over the country, soft on crime mayors 662 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: and governors and liberal das are out there not enforcing 663 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 1: the laws we're talking about violent crime. By the way, 664 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: we're not talking about petty offenses violent crime. They're not 665 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: enforcing the laws, and the Democrats don't want to, So 666 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. What we ought to be doing is 667 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: putting more cops on the street, giving every cop in 668 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: America a pay raise, and we ought to be increasing 669 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: the sentences for violent offenders, including people who try to 670 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: bring a firearm to a crime and use it. But 671 00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: that is exactly what they do not want to do, 672 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: the Democrats, because they don't want to actually get tough 673 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: on crime and criminals. It's just it's exactly backwards, and 674 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 1: that's another reason why I'm not going to support this legislation. 675 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: It doesn't crack down on criminals. It just goes after 676 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: lawbiding citizens, and I'm against that. Speaking to Senator Josh 677 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: Holley of Missouri, Senator, we never have enough time to 678 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: go through all of the crises that the Biden administration 679 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: is not only facing, but we argue day in and 680 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: day out here on the show has made worse in 681 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: some cases, has really created of their all through their 682 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: own doing. The gas situation right as Clay and I 683 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: were on are about thirty minutes ago, Biden spoke on 684 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: this and called on Congress to suspend the federal gas 685 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,480 Speaker 1: tax play clip thirty two, going on Congress to suspend 686 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,359 Speaker 1: the federal gas tax for the next ninety days through 687 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,920 Speaker 1: the busy summer season, busy travel season. Here's what that means. 688 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: Every time you go to the gas station to fill 689 00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 1: your tank, the federal government charges an eighteen cents tax 690 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: per gallon and gas that you purchase, and a twenty 691 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: four cent tax per gallon of diesel you purchase. It's 692 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: a tax that's been around for ninety years. It's important 693 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: because we use it for the Highway Trust Fund to 694 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: keep our highways going. But what I'm proposed is suspending 695 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:41,720 Speaker 1: the federal gas tax without affecting the Highway Trust Fund. So, Senator, 696 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: for my math year and back of the Napkin math 697 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: on radio is always dangerous. So even if this happens, 698 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,080 Speaker 1: people were paying six dollars a gallon might be paying 699 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: what about five forty two give or take yeah, for 700 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: like a few weeks, and then it'll go right back up. 701 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 1: This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard of. 702 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: I mean, what Joe Biden can do if he wants 703 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 1: to have any effect on gas prices is to suspend 704 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: and reverse his idiotic Green New Deal policies that are 705 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: causing this crisis. Let's not forget this is the guy 706 00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: who when he came into office, the first thing he 707 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 1: did was suspend oil and gas leases, get rid of 708 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: our pipelines, cancel them, shut down American energy production. I mean, 709 00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,320 Speaker 1: and he boasted about it at the time, he bragged 710 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,960 Speaker 1: about it, how he was going to be the climate 711 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 1: change president. Well, now we are getting the Green New Deal, 712 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,920 Speaker 1: and we're getting it good and hard, and nobody can 713 00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: afford to develop the tank or buy groceries, or by 714 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: critical goods and services because all of it is affected 715 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 1: by the price of energy. So and by the way, 716 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,320 Speaker 1: it's just isn't anybody else tired of seeing the President 717 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,800 Speaker 1: of the United States up there blaming everybody in anybody 718 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: but himself. He won't take responsibility for anything. It's almost 719 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: like he isn't president, which you know, if that's what 720 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: he wants, we'd be happy to accommodate him. So doubt 721 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: is just absurd how much success our Republicans going to 722 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 1: be able to put forward in terms of just stopping 723 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden from being able to pass anything else. And 724 00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,160 Speaker 1: the reason why I ask is it's clear buildback better 725 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: would have made inflation so much worse than it already was, 726 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 1: and he has created eight point six percent inflation with 727 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 1: many of the policy choices he's made. Now, do you 728 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,879 Speaker 1: think we're going to be able to effectively run out 729 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: the clock and keep any more disastrous legislation from passing 730 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: before the midterms, or do you think Democrats, seeing the 731 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 1: shellacking that's coming, are just going to throw up their 732 00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: hands and say we better get stuff past now while 733 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 1: we still have a majority. How would you assess the 734 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: landscape right now in the Senate and in the House 735 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,760 Speaker 1: in terms of Biden's ability to get more bad bills 736 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: passed before we get into officially the campaign season. Well, 737 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: I would just say that if Republicans will hang together 738 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,919 Speaker 1: in the Senate, you know, it takes sixty to get 739 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,080 Speaker 1: anything done in the Senate, and all Republicans have to 740 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: do is to stand together and say no, we're not 741 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 1: going to go along. And this is one of the 742 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: reasons that this gun legislation disappoints me, is we should 743 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: be clear about this. This will has to pass with 744 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: Republican votes. It cannot get through without at least ten 745 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,720 Speaker 1: Republican votes, and I just think it's a big, big mistake. 746 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 1: So I hope the Republicans will want to stand strong 747 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: between now and November a Senate Republicans in particular will 748 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 1: say no to the Biden agenda. I think it's critical, 749 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:27,879 Speaker 1: and I think we've got to give voters a reason 750 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 1: to vote Republican. I mean, Republicans have got us stand 751 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: strong and should have got backbone. Why else would people 752 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 1: vote for us? Very good question, Senator Josh Holly of Missouri, Senator, 753 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:42,760 Speaker 1: appreciate you, Sarah, Thanks so much. Hey, thanks for having me. Folks. 754 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: As we get older, most of us start suffering from 755 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: those aches and pains and that soreness, and you know, 756 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: if you want to deal with it, try relief Factor. 757 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 1: Relief Factor is created by doctors and perfected over fifteen 758 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: years of scientific research.

Hundreds 763 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: of thousands of Americans have taken Relief Factor to find 764 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: relief from pain, and nearly seven out of ten of 765 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 1: those people go on order more. Doesn't take long to 766 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,760 Speaker 1: determine if Relief Factor works. Three weeks and twenty dollars 767 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,240 Speaker 1: is the time and the cost.

We recently heard 771 00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,879 Speaker 1: from a flight instructor in Texas named Tom.

In closing out the first hour of the program. 783 00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us, gonna tee 784 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: off on all these crazy parents who are getting their 785 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 1: kids six months to five years old, the COVID shot, 786 00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 1: which officially began yesterday. But we told you on this 787 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 1: show that we believe we're probably already in a recession. 788 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,560 Speaker 1: The richest man in the world, well, Elon Musk, he 789 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: says recession is inevitable. Joe Biden claiming that recession is 790 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: not inevitable. Whose side you're going to take, the guy 791 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:49,760 Speaker 1: who understands business and has built the largest wealth almost 792 00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: in the history of the country, or the guy who's 793 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 1: been in government for over forty years and basically never 794 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 1: accomplished anything. Here's Elon Musk responding to Biden. Joe has 795 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 1: just come out and said that a recession in America 796 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: is not inevitable. How do you feel about the economy, Well, 797 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: I think a recession is inevitable at some point. As 798 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,720 Speaker 1: to whether there is a recession in the near tone, 799 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,280 Speaker 1: I think that is more likely than not. You agree 800 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 1: with Elon Musk. If you had to pick a side 801 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 1: to be on, would you either be on Joe Biden's 802 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: opinion on the economy or Elon Musk's opinion on the economy. 803 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: So here's what's going on. The Biden administration is hoping 804 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: that they can bolster sentiment. I mean, this is really 805 00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, fingers and toes in the dam as it's 806 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,399 Speaker 1: cracking kind of a policy, right, But they're hoping that 807 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: they can bolster sentiment just enough that we eke out 808 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: another quarter or two here without being formally in a recession, 809 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: because the only thing that might drive their political hopes 810 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,359 Speaker 1: down into the dumps more than the super high price 811 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,920 Speaker 1: of gas is when everybody has to because it becomes 812 00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 1: a definitional issue use the R word recession when you 813 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,359 Speaker 1: have people saying, because it's gonna, you know what, it's 814 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,080 Speaker 1: gonna be called the Biden recession. They're gonna try to 815 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 1: call it, you know, the Trump recession, or the Biden 816 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,719 Speaker 1: Transition to Greatness plan or some such lunacy. But it's 817 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: gonna be the Biden recession, and we all know it. 818 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, I talked to a friend 819 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,200 Speaker 1: of mine. I'll just say it. I talked to him. 820 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,080 Speaker 1: We talked on air about this yesterday on TV side 821 00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 1: Ned Ryan, who's a super smart we've had him most 822 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:34,440 Speaker 1: show many times Great Guy Super Squared Away runs American Majority. 823 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: And I said, so, what are we really looking at here, Clay? 824 00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 1: He said, based on the numbers, and he's plugged in 825 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,360 Speaker 1: with the political consultants and he knows how these races 826 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: are going. Anything that Biden won by twelve to fifteen 827 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 1: points in twenty twenty is in play, and maybe some 828 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:57,399 Speaker 1: outliers of fifteen to twenty points that meeting Biden won 829 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,799 Speaker 1: by fifteen or twenty points then could be in play 830 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: in this mid term, which means I don't know if 831 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,360 Speaker 1: we've ever seen something like this. Well, to put it 832 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,960 Speaker 1: in a context, we just saw a Texas thirty fourth 833 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: congressional district that myra floor as one.

So the Democrat congressman one by fourteen. 835 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 1: She won by about seven So that's a twenty one 836 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,839 Speaker 1: point swing. That kind of could put into a rough 837 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: outline some of these districts and how they could change. 838 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,240 Speaker 1: And by the way, yesterday I told everybody out there, hey, 839 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: it's our one year anniversary.
