1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: This is twenty four, a weekly highlight reel from the Clay,

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show featuring all things the election coverage.

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: Let's get started. Here are Clay and Bucks. Here are

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: the margins of what Trump won by. This is pretty staggering, Buck,

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: I just want to hit this. Trump won by seventy

6
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: in Alabama, by seventy eight in Alaska, by twenty three

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: in Massachusetts, forty in Minnesota, fifty one in North Carolina,

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: sixty six in Oklahoma, fifty eight in my home state

9
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: of Tennessee, twenty eight in Virginia, fifty eight in Arkansas,

10
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: forty seven in Maine, sixty in Texas, fifteen in Utah,

11
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: thirty in Colorado, sixty one in California, with about half

12
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: the vote out right now as they are continuing to count,

13
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: which for some reason takes forever. In California, Okay, Vermont,

14
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: Nicky Haley wins. But if you actually dive into those numbers,

15
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: it was really just Democrats in what is a very

16
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: small state deciding that they were going to try to

17
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: humiliate Trump, and so they all flipped and voted.

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: For Nicki Haley.

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: Interestingly, more Republican voters in the Vermont primary than Democrat voters.

20
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: That's where that all came from. And for some reason,

21
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 2: we've been saying it that there has been no hope

22
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: for Nicki Haley basically since she lost by double digits

23
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: in New Hampshire. She finally has decided in the last

24
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: couple of hours to drop out. Let me go ahead

25
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: and play a couple of those cuts. Here's cut two.

26
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: Nicki Haley officially dropping out of the presidential primary race.

27
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 4: Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for president.

28
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: When I began, I said the campaign was grounded in

29
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: my love for our country. Just last week, my mother,

30
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: a first generation immigrant, got to vote for her daughter

31
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: for president only in America. I am filled with the

32
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 4: gratitude for the outpouring of support we've received from all

33
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 4: across our great country. But the time has now come

34
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: to suspend my campaign. I said, I wanted Americans to

35
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: have their voices heard. I have done that. I have

36
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 4: no regrets.

37
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: Okay, one more buck. She declined to endorse. She said

38
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: she's dropping out. Congratulated Trump, but she said it's now

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: up to Trump to earn the votes of those in

40
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: our party and beyond.

41
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 3: Here's cut four.

42
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: In all likelihood, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee

43
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: when our party convention meets in July. I congratulate him

44
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 4: and wish him well. I wish anyone well who would

45
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 4: be America's president. Our country is too precious to let

46
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 4: our differences divide us. I've always been a conservative Republican

47
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: and always supported the Republican nominee. But on this question,

48
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: as she did on so many others, Margaret Thatcher provided

49
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: some good advice when she said, quote, never just follow

50
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 4: the crowd. Always make up your own mind. It is

51
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 4: now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of

52
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 4: those in our party and beyond it who did not

53
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 4: support him, and I hope he does that.

54
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: Okay, what's your take on this?

55
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: What I found to be pretty sniveling sounded like a

56
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: kindergarten teacher like h Endorse him.

57
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it looks pathetic. This is

58
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: a good day.

59
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 5: This is a good day for America and a good

60
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 5: day for all of us because we can finally stop

61
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 5: wasting time thinking about things in the primary that don't matter,

62
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 5: notably Nikki Haley and whatever she.

63
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: Has to say.

64
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 5: This is the last day we have to think about

65
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 5: it or talking about it at all, and that's a

66
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 5: good thing. It's also the first day that I think

67
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 5: we can all officially say twenty four Trump v.

68
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: Biden.

69
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 5: Now I know people will put an asterisk next to

70
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 5: Biden perhaps, but for now there is no other thing.

71
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 3: There is only Trump v. Biden.

72
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 5: And if that were to change, you know, we would

73
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 5: adjust that accordingly.

74
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 6: Right.

75
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 5: So the good news is, I think Clay, this has

76
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 5: finally moved this thing forward. We can all now look

77
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 5: at a general election general election posture. But since today

78
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 5: is the day that we're making this transition, I think

79
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 5: Nikki Haley politically stumbled. I think that what happened here

80
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 5: with her taking it to this point she got blown

81
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 5: out in all these different states. To win in Vermont

82
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 5: is almost a loss. Did you see what the Trump

83
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 5: campaign said once she won in DC? The swamp has

84
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 5: chosen in the champion or something like that. And Vermont's

85
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 5: a very liberal state as well. Actually I'm quite fond

86
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 5: of Vermont as a state, but it's very liberal.

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: Uh.

88
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 5: And there were Democrats who came out and voted for her,

89
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 5: and so she really established herself. She was a Republican

90
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 5: conservative governor from a very Red State and was well

91
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 5: regarded there. Like I said, when I was in Nicky

92
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 5: haley territory in South Carolina, a lot of people in

93
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 5: South Carolina like her. But on a national scale now

94
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 5: she's turned herself into a little bit of sour grapes,

95
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 5: a little bit of the establishment Forever Party and Democrats

96
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 5: who cross over to create chaos choice, and I don't

97
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 5: think that's brand enhancing for her. But the good news,

98
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 5: like I said, for all of us, is it's done.

99
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 5: Trump's the nominee.

100
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I hope all the sniping will now end,

101
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: you know, on who's a true believer all this different stuff.

102
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: Biden's the worst president in any of our lives. The

103
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 2: focus to me now goes, Okay, Team United, let's go

104
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 2: beat Joe Biden. And my thought process on this in

105
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: general still, I think on this day, when Nicky Haley

106
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: officially steps out, steps down in just what the last

107
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: couple of hours she did that I think this is

108
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: an example of what happens when you have really bad

109
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: advisors around you. And I understand that running for president

110
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: in many ways is an exercise in delusion. You have

111
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: to believe that out of three hundred and thirty million people.

112
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: You are uniquely qualified to be the president of the

113
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: United States. That is not something that normal people, I think,

114
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: decide to take up. Right, there is an element of

115
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: extreme self confidence and delusion even that might lead someone

116
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 2: to make that decision to run. And you have to

117
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: see it before anybody else does. And that is to

118
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: Nikki Haley's credit. She ran a campaign where she ended

119
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: up the last person standing against Donald Trump. Here's the problem.

120
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: Right after New Hampshire, she should have dropped out. She

121
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: should have gone to Trump and said, you are going

122
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: to be the nominee. I think I can help you immensely.

123
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: I think they could have come to agreement about her

124
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: being on the ticket in some way. Now, I think

125
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: her political career is over. And look, you can grab

126
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: this and you can play it in eight years if

127
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: she ends up president of the United States, you can

128
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: play it in four years, if she's the nominee.

129
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: In twenty eight.

130
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: I don't think people are gonna forget buck. I don't

131
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: think people are going to forget the way that she

132
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: ran this campaign. And I don't think in particular Trump,

133
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: people are going to forget you doubt that you think

134
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: she's viable as a candidate in twenty eight.

135
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

136
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 5: I think she's probably gonna be on the boards of

137
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: some companies and wouldn't even wouldn't even necessarily run agandal

138
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 5: though who knows. I do know that it's over for her,

139
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 5: and she knows it's over. I thought her speech could

140
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 5: have been more gracious than it was. But Trump also

141
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: gave a speech last night at he was at mar

142
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 5: A Lago, right having a party.

143
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: I think that's where he was, Yes, they had a

144
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: party at mar A Lago, yep.

145
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 5: And he gave quite a speech, a lot of optimism.

146
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 5: And you're starting to see the refocus of Trump away

147
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 5: from having to deal with any primary distractions too a

148
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: full on general election campaign, and he was actually talking

149
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 5: about unifying. This has cut six, unifying the country around

150
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 5: success and prosperity.

151
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 7: We have a great Republican party with tremendous talent, and

152
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 7: we want to have unity, and we're going to have unity,

153
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 7: and it's going to happen very quickly. And I have

154
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 7: been saying lately success will bring unity to our country.

155
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 7: And it happened before we had the best economy our

156
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 7: country's ever had, African American, Asian American, Hispanic American women, men,

157
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 7: people with diplomas from the best schools of the world,

158
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 7: and people that didn't graduate from high school. Every single

159
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 7: group was doing better than ever before. And it was

160
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 7: a beautiful thing. Our country was coming together, Our country

161
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 7: was coming together.

162
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: How we have a very divided gun too play.

163
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 5: I think fundamentally the Trump message for this, I mean, immigration,

164
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: a lot of things they're going to talk about, but

165
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 5: the underlying message is, you know, basically make America great again.

166
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 5: But it's let's have a country that's so successful and

167
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 5: prosperous that that creates its own form of unity because

168
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 5: we're doing so well. That goes up against Biden saying

169
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 5: our democracy is at stake. I think Trump wins.

170
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: I think Trump's going to win, and I think it

171
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: may not be close. If they were voting right now,

172
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: I think Trump would win all of the swing states.

173
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: I think he would take some electoral votes in Maine,

174
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 2: and I think he would put states like Minnesota and Virginia,

175
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: which have not been particularly close. I think Biden won

176
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: Virginia by ten I think he would put those in

177
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: play too, and I think Democrats know it, and that

178
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: is why there is a sort of quiet panic, and

179
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: to me, what Trump really arguing is and I think

180
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: it's true. A rising tide is going to lift all votes,

181
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: no matter what your background is, no matter what your

182
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: identity is, if the economy is rolling. And we had

183
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: in February of twenty twenty, the greatest economy in the

184
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: history of the United States, the lowest unemployment across all

185
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: racial groups, the highest wage game, the lowest inflation two

186
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: and a half for three percent, mortgage rates for fifteen

187
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: and thirty year mortgages out there. Everybody remembers that, and

188
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: then COVID happened, and COVID made in my opinion, Joe

189
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: Biden the accidental President. And since that time people have

190
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: recognized basically what Biden sold America on Buck was I

191
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: can deliver the same Trump economy, but there won't be

192
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: sort of this storm of daily chaos. And also he

193
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: sold to all the crazy people who are still walking

194
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: around it in ninety five, masks, I'm going to take

195
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: the virus seriously, I'm going to handle all this. And

196
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: enough people bought it in those swing states to put

197
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: Biden into the Oval office. And they also, we know

198
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: they changed mal balloting rules. They harvested votes on a

199
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: level and scale we've never seen before. They used COVID

200
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: as an excuse to put in place opportunities to rig

201
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: the election the likes of which we've never seen before.

202
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: All that's true, but I think right now Americans are

203
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 2: seeing through it, and I believe there's going to be

204
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: billions of dollars spent. I don't think anbody's changing their mind.

205
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:34,359
Speaker 2: Everybody knows Joe bi knows Trump. The people are undecided,

206
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 2: but I don't think very many people who are out

207
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: there who are saying, hey, right now in March, I'm

208
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 2: a Trump guy or I'm a Biden person. There are

209
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: undecided voters, people who just aren't paying very much attention,

210
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: and those people will decide in October and they can

211
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: swing the election still. But I think even the people

212
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: who are saying, now, hey, I'm going to vote for

213
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: Trump and I voted for Biden in twenty twenty, they've

214
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: made up their mind. I don't think the seventy five

215
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: percent of me Mericans who believe that Biden is too

216
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: old and too mentally and physically frail to be president

217
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: are suddenly going to see something in the next eight

218
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: months and say you know what I was wrong. He

219
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: doesn't have dementia.

220
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 5: No, that that I think tracks. And I don't know

221
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 5: what they really plan to do here other than just

222
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 5: pray that one of these prosecutions goes through and then

223
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 5: they try to maybe even lock Trump up or something.

224
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 5: I mean, they are in I think they're in desperation.

225
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 5: They're in desperation territory many months before anyone's casting any votes.

226
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 5: And that's not where they thought. No matter what, this

227
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 5: is not where they thought they would be. There's not

228
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 5: a single Democrat who will tell you, yeah, we thought

229
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 5: we behind it. We'd be behind in every single swing

230
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 5: state and basically the entire country would say Biden's too

231
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 5: old to be running again.

232
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: Something to think about. And we've got a lot to

233
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: talk about today, but State of the Unions tomorrow, Joe

234
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: Biden's going to talk for maybe an hour. He's gonna

235
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: you know, they're gonna shoot him up with every drug

236
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: they can to make him look like he's, you know,

237
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: still viable. Every time Biden does a public event, he's

238
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: one fall away from being done. Right, we talk about

239
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: what things can change. We already saw him fall on

240
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: the stage at that Air Force commencement speech backwards that

241
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: in the summer he's one public fall, one public trip

242
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: on Air Force one. Every time he takes a step,

243
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 2: he is one stumble away from basically being done, because

244
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: I think if he falls, that'll be on run and

245
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: on repeat, and I don't think it's ever going to

246
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: cancel out.

247
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 8: You're listening to twenty four the Year of Impact with

248
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 8: Clay and Buck.

249
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: The State of the Union was last night, Joe Biden

250
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: spoke faster and angrier than at any point in his career.

251
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: I honestly believe he was drugged up, and a part

252
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: of me thought I wouldn't mind some of what he

253
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: has Occasionally, if I got to be out in Vegas

254
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: for multiple days and need to be able to have

255
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: a little bit more energy, I would love to know

256
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: what the drug cocktail they put him on last night was,

257
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: because I mean that to me was the biggest takeaway

258
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: from the moment he started speaking. He didn't sound like himself.

259
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 3: He didn't.

260
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: His eyes were so uncomfortably hidden the way that he spoke.

261
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: I guarantee you if you go back and play that

262
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: compared to ten years ago. There are multiple sentences Buck

263
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: where it felt like he was being paid to try

264
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: to get as many words in a minute as he

265
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: possibly could.

266
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: He didn't pause correctly.

267
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 2: I think the lasting impact was they wanted to send

268
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: the message that Joe Biden had energy, and really what

269
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: he said hardly mattered at all. It was just the fact,

270
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: like we said that he didn't fall, that he didn't

271
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: have some perilous pause. That was so devastating that it

272
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: moved through social Now. I think there's several different things

273
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: to get into, and I'll get your read, but clearly

274
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: this was an opening speech to attack Donald Trump, but

275
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: not use Donald Trump's name. Instead, they used the W word.

276
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: Predecessor buck, I believe thirteen times listen to this.

277
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 9: My predecessor came to office determined to see where we

278
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 9: rate overturn my predecessor on some of you here seek

279
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 9: to bury the truth about January sixth many of you

280
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 9: in this chamber and my predecessor, my predecessor, my predecessor,

281
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 9: past administration is including my predecessor or my predecessor. I'm

282
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 9: told my predecessor called members of Congress in the Senate,

283
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 9: and if my predecessor is watching it, unlike my predecessor

284
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 9: on my first day in office, I introduced the comprehensive bills.

285
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: I don't like my predecessor. I know who we are

286
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: as American.

287
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 9: My predecessor told the NRA he's proud he did nothing

288
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 9: on guns when he was president. We're all it's tough

289
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 9: talk on China. Never occurred to my predecessor to do

290
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 9: any of that.

291
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: Okay, what was your biggest takeaway? I think the idea

292
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: of not naming Trump is sad. Makes me wonder if

293
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 2: he benefits every time Biden names him if they decided

294
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: to go with predecessor. But what was your biggest takeaway

295
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: last night from the State of the Union.

296
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: Uh, they're not replacing Biden. Happening, not gonna lie.

297
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: That's a body blow that this was an opening campaign speech.

298
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: Biden's not. I would say they want to replace Biden.

299
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: My takeaway is Biden this was his response, You're gonna

300
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: have to drag me out.

301
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: I'm not going.

302
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 5: Hey, he's not going everybody, So you know, I will

303
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 5: eat my words if this turns out to be false,

304
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 5: but I would I would be very careful before any

305
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 5: of you would start throwing steak bets out there on

306
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 5: this one. Biden is going to be their nominee, and

307
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 5: I do look a few things he came out with.

308
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 5: The The opening salvo was Russia threats to democracy abortion.

309
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 5: So it's exactly this was a campaign speech, plain and simple.

310
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 5: It actually had the first I don't know, thirty forty

311
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 5: minutes had very little to do with America as we

312
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 5: know it.

313
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: Cor It was the.

314
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 5: The MSNBC audience talking points for the base. What's the assault,

315
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 5: and it is, you know, Russia Ukraine stuff to start

316
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 5: this speech face about Ukraine just goes to show you

317
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 5: this is like Ukraine for the Libs, for Democrats, it's

318
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 5: like masking and fauciism and getting the vax. It's this

319
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 5: is the thing that they think they have to do.

320
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 3: Now.

321
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 5: There are a lot of problems in this country. Ukraine

322
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 5: and the future of it is not actually one of

323
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 5: them that should be anywhere near the top of the list.

324
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 5: And the idea that Russia is not going to stop there, well,

325
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 5: they're having a pretty hard time with Ukraine. They're going

326
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 5: to attack a NATO country next. Finland has joined, Sweden

327
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 5: has joined it. To me, that's crazy, but okay, so

328
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 5: that's where they are. The three pronged you know Democrat

329
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 5: base that Democrat, tried, if you will, is is Russia

330
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 5: Ukraine stuff? Because remember the Russia stuff transitions into threats

331
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 5: to democracy because Trump Russia, he likes Russia, he would

332
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 5: leave Ukraine. Democracy is under assault. This is all the same,

333
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 5: the same stew of garbage. And then he transitioned very

334
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 5: clearly into really it was an Obama speech from twenty twelve.

335
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 5: It was you know, hey, your fair share, but you know,

336
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 5: soak the rich middle class, middle class, which is Joe

337
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 5: Biden's been pretending to care about the middle class for

338
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 5: longer than I've been alive. And then he got into

339
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 5: some of the immigration stuff, which was really so dishonest

340
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 5: and grotesque. But I mean, you know, we can get

341
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 5: we'll get into more details. Obviously, that's what we're gonna

342
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 5: be talking about for the show today. But I think

343
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 5: that the biggest takeaway for me is really the Biden

344
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 5: campaign just started. Joe Biden is going to be their nominee,

345
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 5: and we'll see if they can start to edge the

346
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 5: numbers in his direction, because up to this point it

347
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 5: has been nothing but failure for them. But I gotta say, like,

348
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 5: it wasn't a bad night for Biden. People may not

349
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 5: want to hear this, but it wasn't bad. There was

350
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 5: nothing that happened where you'd say, oh, Joe Biden, he's

351
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,239
Speaker 5: gonna be a cake walk, the same guy he ran

352
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 5: against in twenty twenty.

353
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: So I did think that opening with Ukraine and being

354
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: concerned about the Ukrainian border and it taking, he complained

355
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: about Snickers bars not being big enough until he got

356
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: to actual immigration, which is the number one issue, And

357
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: I did think Marjorie Taylor Green baited him into going

358
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: off script. And let me just explain, I always think

359
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: this is important. Joe Biden is reading off a teleprompter

360
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: almost every time he has a public event. Ninety nine

361
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: percent of people have never seen a teleprompter. Ninety nine

362
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: point nine percent of people have never read off of

363
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: a teleprompter.

364
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: Before.

365
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: I think you will talk about Katie Britt. I think

366
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 2: oftentimes that can impact the way that you deliver. One

367
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 2: reason that I love radio. Neither Buck nor myself will

368
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: ever have anything written on a teleprompter ever, although I

369
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: do love that ourdiction and word choice can be so

370
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: clear sometimes that people ask who writes your scripts? Yes,

371
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: I just want to say the Lord Almighty, because it's

372
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: between these two ears. There is zero script for anything

373
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: that we do any given day, and I like more

374
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 2: natural conversations. But he's reading off a teleprompter. He has

375
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: not lost the skill to read off the teleprompter exclusively,

376
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 2: especially when they hop him up all in all those

377
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 2: meds to read as fast as he can. Now I want, though,

378
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 2: when he went off script, that's what you gotta do.

379
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: What the great Mike Tyson quote, everybody's got a plan

380
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 2: until they get punched in the mouth. Biden with a plan,

381
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: and that's what they're going to try to do. They're

382
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: going to try to keep him on script when he

383
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: had that White House press conference. The reason they don't

384
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 2: let him take questions. Whenever he takes questions, you can

385
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: see that his mind is not as sharp as it

386
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: used to be. When he's just reading off a prompter,

387
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: it's less likely that he's going to screw up. So

388
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: you have to get him off script, which is what

389
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: Marjorie Taylor Green did and what I thought was his

390
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: only real mishap all day. He decided to finally try

391
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: to say Lake and Riley's name, and this is what

392
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 2: it sounded like.

393
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 3: Buck.

394
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 9: I'm told my predecessor called members of Congress and on

395
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 9: demand they blocked the bill. He feels political win he

396
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 9: viewed be a political win for me and a political

397
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 9: loser for him. It's not about him.

398
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 3: It's not about me. I'd be a winner, not really.

399
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 6: I Lincoln Riley an innocent young woman who was killed.

400
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 3: Why an illegal? That's right? But how many of thousands

401
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: of people being killed by legals?

402
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 9: To her parents, I say, my heart goes out to you,

403
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 9: having lost children.

404
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: Myself, I understand.

405
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 5: Okay, right, Clay, do you have something to add to

406
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 5: be well? First of all, he couldn't get her name right.

407
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 5: Lincoln Riley is the head coach of the USC football team.

408
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 5: This has gone megaviral. I do think that's going to

409
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 5: be a mess for him. And also, did you see

410
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 5: Nancy Pelosi? Do you have did you hear what Nancy

411
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 5: Pelosi said?

412
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: What we have to clip?

413
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 2: We have to clip Nancy Pelos on and criticize Biden

414
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: for responding. What did she have an issue with Lake

415
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 2: and Riley's death.

416
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 5: The illegal thing? YEA, yeah for sure. Yeah, but we

417
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 5: can play that. I don't know what is that like

418
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 5: thirty or something?

419
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: We got there? Yeah, thirty second, there's play like Nancy

420
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 3: Pelosi here.

421
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 10: I'm sure you saw the buttons that your colleagues across

422
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 10: the aisle had, and he had one of those buttons.

423
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 10: We believe it was given to him by Marjorie Taylor Green.

424
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 10: And when she said something to him during his speech,

425
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 10: he responded, No.

426
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 11: He should have said undocumented. But that's not a big thing.

427
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 10: I actually wasn't even gonna ask about that. I was

428
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 10: just going to ask more about the moment. But you

429
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 10: do think that he should have said undocumented. That wasn't good?

430
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 5: Be my question?

431
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 3: Well, we usually say a documented.

432
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 4: He said illegal.

433
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 11: I don't think it's a big deal. Okay, I don't

434
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 11: think it's a big deal.

435
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 5: But more broadly, plause, I think his focus was on

436
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 5: the sympathy for the family.

437
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 3: All right, all right, clet So, so how do you

438
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: analyze this?

439
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: I thought that was a mishap as soon as he

440
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 2: got off his pre recorded plan speech.

441
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 5: I just think that I'm the wet blanket of reality

442
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 5: today in the right media ecosystem we are going to

443
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 5: between now an election day, always be tempted to say,

444
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 5: look at what, and I'm gonna keep saying it. I'm

445
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 5: not pretending like I'm above this right, I'm not saying, oh,

446
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 5: I don't do this. I even do Biden impression sometimes.

447
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 5: But then he's a bumbling, senile, old fool. Look at him,

448
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 5: stumble here, look at him, say this this dumb thing.

449
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 3: There.

450
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 5: Seventy five percent of the country thinks he's too old, right,

451
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 5: About forty nine percent of the country, based on the

452
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 5: polls right now, would still vote for him.

453
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 3: I worry. I worry that our side is.

454
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 5: Doing what we did in twenty twelve with ben Ghazi,

455
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 5: where we start to think to her and this was

456
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 5: not a popular opinion.

457
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 3: And you know, I knew, I know some of.

458
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 5: Those folks who are in the ben Gazi situation. I mean,

459
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 5: that's a whole other conversation. It was horrible. It was

460
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 5: a it was they were left high and dry by

461
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 5: the administration. But it turned into, oh, so you know,

462
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 5: he's not going to be able to win, and you know,

463
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 5: everyone's going to realize what a big deal this is,

464
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 5: and we're gonna have all these hearings. It was only

465
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 5: important to people on the right who are already voting

466
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 5: Republican independence. Didn't care about it at all. Swing voters

467
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 5: did not care about it at all, and Barack Obama

468
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 5: sailed to re election, right, so I worry here that

469
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: our side is going to keep saying, look at what

470
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 5: an old, bumbling buffoon Biden is. And the thing is,

471
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 5: that's true, right, we're saying we are. What we're saying

472
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 5: is true, but I'm not sure that it matters. And

473
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 5: after last night, I sit here and I say, unless

474
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 5: this guy like legitimately physically collapses, which could always happen,

475
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 5: and at his age, and that could happen. I'm not

476
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 5: just saying, you know, given how old he is, Clay,

477
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 5: I sit here and I think to myself, every every

478
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 5: you know, on Fox and on all these different shows,

479
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 5: everyone's gonna be playing clips of what.

480
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: Biden's always been an idiot? Do you know what I mean?

481
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 5: He's always been thought of as the dumbest senator basically

482
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 5: in the United States senator or one of them.

483
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 3: He's never been impressive. But somehow this.

484
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 5: Guy is sitting in the Oval office and now he's

485
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 5: super old and decrepit, and we're all going to sit

486
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 5: around talking about how, oh my gosh, like, look at this.

487
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 5: Somehow seventy five percent of the country knows he's old,

488
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 5: intocrepit and it's still basically a fifty to fifty race

489
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 5: in the polls, you know, give or take right. I

490
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 5: know he's losing in the swing states, but I'm just saying, like,

491
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 5: this isn't going to do it, and after last night,

492
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 5: it's definitely not going to do it.

493
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: My concern I think immigration is still going to register

494
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: in a big way, and I think that issue register.

495
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 5: But Biden being too old, we can say it until

496
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 5: we're blue in the face. I don't think that's going

497
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 5: to win the election for Trump.

498
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: My concern is they're only going to have him speak

499
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 2: the State of the Union was he's not too old.

500
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: They're going to come out and deliver basically the same

501
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: speech at the DNC if he's the nomine hundred percent

502
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 2: in August, same exact speech basically, and then if they

503
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 2: don't debate, then they're going to say, well we prove

504
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: that he's not too old. They're going to hop him

505
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: up on whatever they need to be able to have speed,

506
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: you know, all sorts of of of energy drugs, and

507
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 2: they're going to give him that cocktail and he's going

508
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: to go out there and he's going to perform. Is

509
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 2: he going to have an ope and like, I mean,

510
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: the standard is so low, yes, that it reminds me

511
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: a little bit buck. Do you remember when George W.

512
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: Bush was going to debate al Gore and the idea

513
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 2: was al Gore was going to fully him because George W.

514
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,239
Speaker 2: Bush misspeaks all the time and everything else. And then

515
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: George W. Bush was fine. And the standard that they

516
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: had managed to set was so low that it was.

517
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 3: Impossible not to exceed it.

518
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: If Biden doesn't trip and fall, if he doesn't have

519
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: a senior moment and forget how to read, then it's

520
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: like a toddler learning how to walk. That makes it

521
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 2: across the floor. I think somebody had that analogy. Then

522
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: you feel like, oh, my goodness, look how good of

523
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,239
Speaker 2: a walker he is.

524
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: Well, well, let me think about that.

525
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 5: This is a little bit of a black pill moment, right,

526
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 5: Think about the entire country basically knows Joe Biden is

527
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 5: too old, and yet half the country is still planning

528
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 5: to vote for him. And that is where we are

529
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 5: right So the too old thing, maybe that's able to

530
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 5: move that last trunks, that last segment of you know,

531
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 5: two percent or three percent of the electorate in the

532
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 5: swing states and change things around, but there's a lot

533
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 5: of other noise going on. So I just I'm basically

534
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 5: just cautioning Clay against overconfidence after last night, because I know,

535
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 5: I know those polls. I mean, I'm even I'm sitting

536
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 5: here and I'm I'm Captain Dooman Gloom, and I'm like, look,

537
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 5: if you, I mean, if you actually were hell today,

538
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 5: Trump would win still. But I am just saying, after

539
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 5: what we saw last night, you see it too, Yeah,

540
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 5: the DNC and maybe even I don't disagree with your

541
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 5: maybe Biden surprises everybody and decides that he wants to

542
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 5: switch around and do a debate on stage to kind

543
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 5: of prove to everybody that he's still got it, you know, and.

544
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: They're gonna heals it off, just like they did in

545
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: twenty The standard is still so low. If he doesn't

546
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: collapse on stage, then they'll call it a victory.

547
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 5: Everybody was saying in twenty twenty exactly what they are

548
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 5: saying when I say everyone on the right what they're

549
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 5: saying now, which is, oh, he's so old and he's

550
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 5: gonna fall down, and look, we do it too, because

551
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 5: it's true, but not enough, not enough on its owns.

552
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: You're listening to twenty four the most Important Tier in

553
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: Politics with Clay Travis an buck Sexton.

554
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Prince of darkness. Buck Sexton, did

555
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: your cold dark heart at least take some measure of

556
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: joy in the fact that Luke Skywalker and the Optimists

557
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 2: of the world were able to get a nine to

558
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 2: nothing Supreme Court ruling on whether individual states can remove

559
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: presidential candidates from the ballot under section three of what

560
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: the fourteenth Amendment I think it is. I've forgotten my amendments.

561
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm not as expert like I was back when I

562
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: took the bar exam, but basically slapping down Colorado, Maine, Illinois,

563
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: and any other state that would attempt to do this.

564
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: What's your reaction when you saw it?

565
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 5: I can't exactly find myself doing backflips over this one

566
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 5: because it was a moronic argument to begin with. It

567
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 5: was absurd. I mean, I would actually recommend any of

568
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 5: you who were curious go and read the opinion is

569
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 5: like twenty something pages.

570
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: It doesn't take long.

571
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 5: It doesn't some of these Supreme Court opinions, and it's

572
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 5: one hundred and eighty pages or two hundred and thirty pages,

573
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 5: and you know, it's like reading a book, and in

574
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 5: this case, you can go through it pretty quickly.

575
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 3: It's absurd. These states do not have the right to

576
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: do this.

577
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 5: If states did have the right to do this, they'd

578
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 5: be able to disqualify any president that they felt like,

579
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 5: at any or presidential candidate, I mean, at any point

580
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 5: in the future.

581
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 3: Because there has been no.

582
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 5: Actual judicial process to begin with that found Donald Trump

583
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 5: guilty of any crime. Right he is Donald Trump as

584
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 5: we sit here, and they're trying to remove him from

585
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 5: those states. Has been found guilty of exactly zero things

586
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 5: in a court of law, not a single one. So

587
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 5: it was a truly moronic argument to begin with. People

588
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 5: like David French at the New York Times and others

589
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 5: who are legal analysts who thought this wasn't absurd. I mean,

590
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 5: I'll just say, right before I thought it was, Look,

591
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 5: I thought it was gonna come down seven to two.

592
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 5: So I overestimated how part is in CATANGI Brown, Jackson

593
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 5: and Soda my or would be. But I would have

594
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 5: bet every dollar that I had that this was going

595
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 5: to come out in Trump's notice this What did we

596
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 5: have any anxiety about this decision.

597
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 3: On the show?

598
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 5: Whatsoever? No, you went to law school. I didn't, but

599
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 5: you know I can read, and this was absurd. No

600
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 5: one really thought that because what would the alternative would

601
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 5: have been the Supreme Court saying Donald Trump is done

602
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 5: and the election is being handed to Joe Biden. Right,

603
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 5: So no one really believed this was going to happen, surely,

604
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 5: not even after the questioning.

605
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: But it's but yes, this is important. You see what

606
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: I mean. There was no anxiety over this.

607
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 5: Nobody's saying, oh my gosh, what are we going to

608
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 5: do as a nation if Donald Trump is kicked off

609
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 5: the ball.

610
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 3: Because we all knew. Everybody knew.

611
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 5: The only people who didn't know because I know, I'm

612
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 5: gonna get sent different articles from legal Those are people

613
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 5: who are feeding slop to those they view as idiots.

614
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 5: They are demagogues. All these legal animals are say this

615
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 5: is a strong this is a strong decision that they're

616
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 5: bringing in the court in.

617
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: Colorado, Clay. This would mean that the system.

618
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 5: Would effectively collapse on itself in one state, any state

619
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 5: could determine who gets to be president and who doesn't.

620
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 3: It's insane. So yeah, I mean it's not.

621
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 5: Our legal system is in a total and utter joke, Clay,

622
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 5: I will agree it's not a complete and utter joke.

623
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 5: There's still some signs of life. But it's on life support,

624
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 5: my man, because let's see what happens in the next

625
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 5: round of decisions that come from.

626
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: Okay, So there's several things that I think are important

627
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: that we need to talk about about the case. But

628
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: let's let's start here. And I think this is important,

629
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 2: and you kind of hinted at it, and I know

630
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people out there who may

631
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: not agree. This is shaker, I know with everything that

632
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: you or I say on any given day on the show.

633
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 2: But what we will tell you is is this show

634
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: is not in the business of telling you what we

635
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: think you want to hear. We're going to tell you

636
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: what our opinions are, for better or worse. If you

637
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 2: are out there and you are listening to us now,

638
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: or maybe you've got kids, maybe you've got grandkids, Maybe

639
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: you got friends and family members who had been telling you, hey,

640
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's ineligible. He committed an insurrection. He is going

641
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: to be ripped off the ballot. There are lots of

642
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: people who made a living for years arguing that Trump

643
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: was an insurrectionist and he was ineligible to be president

644
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 2: of the United States. This is not a small number

645
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: of people who argued this. What I would encourage all

646
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: of you to do is, in the wake of this

647
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: nine nothing decision, I think you should reach out to

648
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 2: those people in your life who might have told you

649
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: that Trump was ineligible, and I think you should ask them,

650
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: why did you trust the opinions of so many people

651
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: on the left. MSNBC employs a lot of them. They

652
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,959
Speaker 2: pay them millions of dollars. CNN employees a lot of them,

653
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: they pay the millions of dollars. The New York Times does,

654
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: the Washington Post. They all told you something that the

655
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: Supreme Court uniformly nine to nothing slap down was a

656
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: constitutional reality. You should if you listen to any of

657
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: those people, you should ask yourself why you allowed yourself

658
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: to believe them. And by the way, this is a

659
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: long litany of things, right, the Russia collusion. There's so

660
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 2: many lists of things that we could run through.

661
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: The COVID shot.

662
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: Oh, you're only gonna need to get it once and

663
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: you'll never get COVID again, and you're gonna be perfect.

664
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: There are a lot of lies now that have stacked

665
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: up and I'm not talking about opinions that end up

666
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: being wrong, right. Opinions that end up being wrong happen

667
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: all the time. I'm talking about people who tell you

668
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: the Constitution is clear and Donald Trump is ineligible to

669
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: be pressed in the United States.

670
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 6: No, no, no.

671
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: Katanji Brown Jackson disagreed with that. Elena Kagan disagreed with that,

672
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: and Sonya Sotimore you're disagreed with that.

673
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 3: They're all Democrat appointees. This is a real slap down. Buck.

674
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, when it's nine to zero, it should be clear

675
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 5: to anyone. And I do think that there should be consequences.

676
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 5: But the problem is we have a political and media

677
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 5: environment where feeding sloped to imbeciles, no matter how debasing

678
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 5: it should be, for the person doing it, is profitable,

679
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 5: and there's no consequences. To your point, there's no consequences

680
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 5: for being wrong. I went back. I was doing some

681
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 5: edits for my book. You know, thanks Clay for the

682
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 5: heads up. Apparently you write the draft and then there

683
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 5: are edits on the draft.

684
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 3: This is gonna go never end up.

685
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: The book is for anybody out there who has ever

686
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: thought about writing a book. I the first time I

687
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 2: wrote a book I sent it in and I was like, Bam,

688
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: I feel so good. I'm gonna go out and have

689
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: a few beers. Let's go have a stake, let's go celebrate.

690
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 2: And then you get back the edits and you realize

691
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 2: that you only really have run about half the marathon.

692
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 5: And but I was thinking about it. Yes, that's true,

693
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 5: and so no stake for me tonight. More writing I

694
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 5: was thinking about it though, because I was going back

695
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 5: and pulling and looking at some of the because it's

696
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 5: not a book about COVID, to be clear, but I

697
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 5: mentioned some COVID stuff here and there, and it's now

698
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 5: that we've had a little more distance from it. I

699
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 5: don't know how anyone can watch these people or listen

700
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 5: to these people who were all in on that and

701
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 5: not understand that they were either too stupid to see what.

702
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 3: Was going on.

703
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 5: Meeting the you know, the thought leader, the pundit, the writer,

704
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 5: whoever it is that was taking the Fauci view, they

705
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 5: are the too stupid or too dishonest, or a combination

706
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 5: of the two. When it comes to the anti Trump

707
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 5: resistance hashtag resistance, same thing is in effect, these people

708
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 5: are wrong about everything and lie constantly, but their audiences

709
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 5: want more of it, and that's what's so troubling. Their

710
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 5: audiences want to believe that somehow. I mean, if you

711
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 5: are a legal analyst on an issue of this degree,

712
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 5: this level of consequence for the nation, and you thought,

713
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 5: and you told people that this was going to go

714
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 5: the way of Colorado and you know, Maine and these

715
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 5: other states, and you get slapped down nine oh you

716
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 5: know nothing?

717
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I mean you are.

718
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 5: Truly you know, five to four things can go.

719
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 3: Either way six ' three.

720
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 5: Okay, maybe you're surprised if it's nine to oh. Given

721
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 5: the makeup of this court, given how partisan Soda, Mayor

722
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 5: and Catangi, Brown, Jackson and Kagan are, it's outrageous that

723
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 5: somebody could think they're an expert and be on the

724
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 5: wrong side of this by nine to nothing. It means

725
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 5: any look, do the research, do the little homework on

726
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 5: this yourself. Anyone who told you this wasn't going to

727
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 5: go this way knows nothing and should never be listened

728
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 5: to again, because they are so inept that the fact

729
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 5: that they would lead people in any kind of legal

730
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 5: analysis is offensive. But then that goes to what does

731
00:36:54,040 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 5: this continue? It continues because anti Trump voters, thinkers, whatever, Clay,

732
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 5: they have an emotional need for this. You know, they

733
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 5: need to be told that there's still a Santa Claus

734
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 5: and for the kids out there, of course there is,

735
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 5: but they need to be told things. It doesn't matter

736
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 5: if it's untrue.

737
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: I think this is also really an important time to

738
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: sit and think about the larger consequences. Yes, the Supreme

739
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 2: Court got this right, and I would encourage you, as

740
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 2: Buck said, go read the twenty page opinion yourself. I

741
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: always like to go to the actual source. Don't just

742
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 2: listen to people talk about the Supreme Court opinion. It's

743
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 2: twenty pages. You can read it in twenty minutes. Just

744
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: trust me. Go read it for yourself because I do

745
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 2: think it's important. And by the way, give it to

746
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: your kids or grandkids to read, because the primary sources matter.

747
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 2: I think very often when you go and read things

748
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: for yourself, you have a different impression than you do

749
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: by listening to media like Buck and myself talking about it.

750
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 2: I encourage you to read the primary sources. We now

751
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: have a situation, Buck, and I think this is really

752
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: important to think about where the actual insurrectionists are sitting

753
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: on the Colorado Supreme Court, the main Secretary of State,

754
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 2: and Illinois Trial Court judge. I believe they are the

755
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: ones that are actually trying to take someone off a

756
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 2: ballot and not allow you to vote for them. They

757
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: are the ones directly attacking democracy. That's what they did

758
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 2: based on the Supreme Court decision.

759
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 5: Well, what do we keep seeing the Democrats, the left,

760
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 5: the anti Trump resistance do the thing that they say

761
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 5: Trump is doing right. They constantly burn down the legal

762
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 5: system in order to save it, abuse the judiciary, abuse

763
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 5: the rule of law in the pursuit of partisan ends.

764
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 5: And I mean, when you go back and look at this,

765
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 5: the prospect, it will be hard for people, I think,

766
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 5: in future generations to believe. Claud Let's say Trump goes

767
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 5: and wins this whole thing, and we can talk about

768
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 5: the polls and there's some other stuff. Yeah, although there

769
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 5: was win for Nikki Haley this weekend, everybody, we'll tell

770
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 5: you what it was. She did squeak out a win somewhere,

771
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 5: which tells you a lot and actually is a bigger

772
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 5: problem what it says about where she got the win.

773
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 5: But we'll talk about that in a moment. But Clay,

774
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 5: I think that increasingly everyone has to understand he's facing

775
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 5: efforts to take him off the ballot from partisan judges

776
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 5: for criminal trials, multiple civil trials, all this stuff.

777
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 3: This is this is insanity.

778
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 5: What they're there, it's insanity, and they're trying to do

779
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 5: this to somebody who is right now clearly winning the

780
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 5: hearts and minds of the American people as it pertains

781
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 5: to who should be the next president. He is a

782
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 5: clear majority winner in all of the polls, and they're

783
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 5: doing so many things to tear him down with the

784
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,879
Speaker 5: legal system that are failing. Mind you that you think

785
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 5: to yourself, there's something deeply emotionally, psychologically deranged about the

786
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 5: anti Trump resistance. So we'll get into some of this

787
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 5: year that's very troubling actually for the future of the country.

788
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 5: I'll tell you, I don't know what happens to all

789
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 5: these people if Trump becomes president for four more years.

790
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 8: You're listening to twenty four the Year of Impact with Clay.

791
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 5: And Buck, Congress and Jordan. Always a pleasure to have

792
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 5: you with us, sir.

793
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 11: God, good to be with you guys. Hey, before we

794
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 11: get the State of the Union, I just got to say,

795
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 11: I totally fuck I totally agree with Clay on the

796
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 11: ice cream saying we were driving. I forget where last week,

797
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 11: but I told you don't go get ice cream by yourself.

798
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,160
Speaker 11: You take your wife.

799
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 5: Hold On, Congressman, though, yes, where are you on male

800
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 5: flute players?

801
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,479
Speaker 11: I don't know, I haven't. I didn't catch that one.

802
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 11: But was that part of the ice cream debate?

803
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 3: Because no, no, I said in my opinion that I was.

804
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 2: I was anti anybody who decided to become a male

805
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 2: flute player, and it turned the flute universe with same

806
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 2: guys shouldn't play the flute. It was I a guy

807
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 2: shouldn't play the flute. But you're with me on this

808
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 2: that I appreci Joe. It was about fifty to fifty,

809
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 2: and then all the left wingers who would defend Biden

810
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 2: for anything suddenly jumped in the poll. Buck was blown

811
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: away that it was as close as it was.

812
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's but I totally that's that my experience. You don't,

813
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 11: you know, get ice combaryrself. But the flud playing thing,

814
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 11: I'm just thinking about our high school band, which I

815
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 11: wasn't in. But I don't remember any guys playing the

816
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 11: flute either, So it was that, you know, the guys

817
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 11: played that.

818
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 2: Wrong, Congress said, great comment all on the.

819
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 5: Mats during wrestling to deal with the deal with the band.

820
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 5: I understand how this is going, Bari, Congress, we got

821
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 5: you now.

822
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 3: Now you got to tell us. Look, you give us,

823
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 3: give us your no bs what he's giving you praise? Here?

824
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 3: What are you with? Buck On?

825
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 11: I'm with you on I think Biden's run and I

826
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 11: thought that even before last night. I think I think

827
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,799
Speaker 11: it's but I think last night kind of sealed it

828
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 11: for the crazy left. I think he's going to be

829
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 11: their nominee for sure. Uh So I'm with you on

830
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 11: that one, Buck, But you know you can be.

831
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 5: You know, it's good that you're right sometimes in wrong

832
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 5: other time, So you're right on this one, which I appreciate.

833
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 5: I think the art is an ice cream debate for

834
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 5: those of us who were in urban centers with walking

835
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 5: areas a little bit different. But we'll put that aside

836
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 5: for right now. So Biden's going to be the nominee.

837
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 5: You know, how do you think he did last night?

838
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 5: As you're you know, assess this like you're a coach

839
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 5: and he's the opposing team, right, Like, yeah, we know

840
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,760
Speaker 5: he's a dishonest comie and he's corrupting all that stuff.

841
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 5: But where do you think that he was weak? Where

842
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 5: do you think that he actually managed to score some points.

843
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 11: I mean, I think he was weak week from the

844
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 11: get go because he was twenty minutes late, took him

845
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 11: ten minutes to walk down the Center Aisle for goodness sake.

846
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 11: And then the first thing he talks about the foreign

847
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 11: country at our state of the Union. You know, the

848
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 11: state of the Union. Maybe you should start off talking

849
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 11: about the United States instead of Ukraine, so I mean,

850
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 11: and then of course it was right after that it

851
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 11: was all political because he goes right from Ukraine to

852
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 11: January sixth and then right into abortion and it's the

853
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 11: typical left wing blowny for the rest of the time.

854
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 11: So yeah, I thought the start was just made absolutely

855
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 11: no sense to me.

856
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 5: To start with Ukraine is bizarre. I totally agree, even

857
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 5: for a Democrat.

858
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 11: Yeah, And it was like it was so literally he

859
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 11: doesn't I'm like, are you kidding me? This is what

860
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 11: he's very starting, But you know, that's that's just Then

861
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 11: there was other crazy thing like the idea that you're

862
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 11: going to build a port in Gaza. Yeah, think about

863
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 11: Israel's our dearest and closest friend, and you're telling Israel, hey,

864
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 11: we want you to win the war. But oh, by

865
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 11: the way, we're gonna build a port in Gaza, We're

866
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 11: gonna we're gonna supply the enemy. What kind of net

867
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 11: like this is just sort of you know, war one

868
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 11: oh one. It seems to me you don't do something

869
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,239
Speaker 11: like that. But that was sort of a big, big,

870
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 11: big item in his speech again, all catering to the radicals, uh,

871
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 11: and that of the left of the Democrat Party.

872
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 2: We've been talking in the first hour about the fact

873
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 2: that obviously when they put the teleprompter in front of him,

874
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 2: and a lot of people don't understand this, but he's

875
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 2: gonna read off the teleprompter. I actually thought, by far

876
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,440
Speaker 2: the weakest moment for him. It's a little bit when

877
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 2: you get him off script when he tried to dress

878
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: the Lake and Riley situation and actually said Lincoln Riley,

879
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 2: who's the head coach of the USC football team. And

880
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 2: then you couldn't even really understand him, but he seemed

881
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: to try to diminish her death by saying, there's thousands

882
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 2: of others either illegal or legal. You can't tell because

883
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: he slurs so many words what he was saying. Did

884
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 2: you feel like that that's kind of when you have

885
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 2: to get him off of his uh, you know, script,

886
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 2: that that's when it reveals how little depth that he has,

887
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 2: and that's where the mental faculties aren't as strong as they.

888
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 3: Used to be.

889
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, of course, and in fact, we've actually subceeded Special

890
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 11: Counsel Robert Hrr. We want the audio tapes because that's

891
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 11: what Robert Hurt said was the reason he didn't indict

892
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 11: this guy for libert you know, deliberately whofully intentionally miss

893
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 11: selling classified doctions. But yeah, and I did think that

894
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 11: was a big moment last night when it was when

895
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 11: he said Lincoln Riley instead of Linke and Riley. I

896
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 11: thought that was that was huge. But when he kind

897
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 11: of gets off script, and then of course the abrupt

898
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 11: change and emotions, you know, one minute he's kind of

899
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 11: reading and shouting and the next man, he's really shouting,

900
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 11: and then he throws in a whisper here or there.

901
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,360
Speaker 11: So it's I think that's that's kind of a concern

902
00:44:58,440 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 11: as well.

903
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 5: It's been I'm sorry Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio and

904
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 5: Congressman you know, what do you see from the the

905
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 5: way they're trying to position immigration specifically, they realized it's

906
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 5: a huge issue, right, they realize a big problem. They

907
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 5: can't ignore it anymore. But it's as though they want

908
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 5: us to forget what Democrats have done for this is

909
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 5: now the fourth year under Biden and shift the blame

910
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 5: to Republicans for not going along with Democrats to not

911
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 5: fix the problems that Democrats created in the first place.

912
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 11: Yeah, and it's and everyone knows they're the cause. We

913
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 11: actually had a hearing on this yesterday in our committee

914
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 11: and Joe Biden, I asked the witnesses said, did Joe

915
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 11: Biden cause this problem? Because yeah, And Joe Biden told

916
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 11: us he was going to cause the problem back during

917
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,439
Speaker 11: the debates when he says we want he literally said

918
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 11: this in the Democrat presidential debates, we want migrants to

919
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 11: serge to the border. Well, they took him at his word,

920
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 11: you know, go go figure, and they came, and it's

921
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 11: well on pace now to get to twelve million migrants

922
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,919
Speaker 11: coming in this country in the Biden presidency. So they

923
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 11: did it. Somehow, they're going to blame you know, it's

924
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 11: Trump's fault, it's Republicans faulled. It's climate change is the

925
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 11: is the reason this is happening. Like, no, you guys

926
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 11: had deliberate, intentional policies that created this mess, and now

927
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 11: you see that it's bigger. It's the biggest issue polling

928
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 11: across the board, so that it's the biggest, bigger than

929
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 11: the inflation and all the economy problems. It's the biggest

930
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 11: issue because of things you guys wilfully intentionally did.

931
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 5: I saw and thought and believe that it is is

932
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 5: still kind of crazy that he did this to last night, Congressman,

933
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 5: he directly lectured the Supreme Court about their decision on

934
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 5: Roe v.

935
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: Wade. I think it's weird. I don't know about you.

936
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 2: I think it's weird that the Supreme Court is there

937
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 2: for the State of the Union in the first place, personally,

938
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 2: but the fact that this was such a campaign style

939
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 2: speech that he would take advantage of them being there

940
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 2: and say you're going to learn that there's a major

941
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 2: issue now that women are going to respond to your opinion.

942
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 2: I thought was was was really outside the pay of

943
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 2: what I've ever seen at the Supreme I mean, at

944
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: the State of the Union before I do.

945
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 11: I do think the only time I could recall this,

946
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 11: there were something similar is when I believe President Obama

947
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 11: called out Alito on the Citizens United decision, maybe ten, twelve,

948
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 11: fourteen years ago. But yeah, that was unusual. I didn't see,

949
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 11: but I was told by one colleague that they felt

950
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 11: like even one of the one of the Democrat more

951
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 11: liberal members of the Court had kind of a you know,

952
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 11: they kind of keep it straight face throughout the whole thing. Anyway,

953
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 11: But I don't think that was appropriate. You know, we're

954
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 11: a system of separate and equal branches of government. Don't

955
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 11: don't show poor form and criticize the Supreme Court who

956
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 11: were sitting there during the during the address.

957
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 5: Congressman, how do you think we're looking for control of

958
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 5: Congress on the GOP side going into this election? Obviously

959
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 5: so much as focused on Trump v. Biden because now

960
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 5: it's more officially than even if we've seen it coming

961
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 5: for a while. But what are your thoughts on how

962
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 5: the GOP can maintain and really grow majority.

963
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 11: Yeah? I feel good. I mean, we're gonna win West

964
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 11: Virginia in the Senate. We got a great candidate, I

965
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 11: think Berti Marino. I was campaigning with him on Monday

966
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 11: in Ohio. I think he's going to be our nominee.

967
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 11: I think he could beat CHERF. Brown. We got a

968
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 11: great chance. At Montana. McCormick is a great He's an

969
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 11: old wrestling guy, so I really like McCormick as well.

970
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 11: In Pennsylvania, he wrestled the West Point and Super Guy,

971
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 11: so we got good Kerry Lake in Arizona, we got

972
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,919
Speaker 11: good candidates. I think we take back the Senate. Of course,

973
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 11: I think President Trump's gonna win. You have the election today,

974
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 11: I think he wins gone away, and if they run

975
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 11: on the kind of garbage we're talking about last night,

976
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 11: that's the message to Americans. I think. I think that's

977
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 11: good for us too. So I feel real boit about

978
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 11: those and I think we keep the House. We got

979
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 11: the majority there. We need a little we need a

980
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 11: few more seats so we have a stronger working majority

981
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 11: and it's easier to get things pass. But I feel

982
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 11: really good as we're what now eight months away from

983
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 11: the from from the election day.

984
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 2: We're talking to Jim Jordan. I know you're in the

985
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 2: room itself, and sometimes it can be hard to know

986
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,799
Speaker 2: how that's going to play on television because it's a

987
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 2: very small room, and it looks sometimes very different in

988
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 2: person than it does on television. But we've gotten some

989
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 2: questions about the marine dad who was up in the

990
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 2: upper gallery. I don't even know if you could hear

991
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: the disruption. His son was evidently killed in part of

992
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 2: the Afghanistan withdrawal, and there were reports that he was arrested. Now,

993
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 2: the reason why I bring that up is there were

994
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 2: many pro Palestinian protesters who were blocking the president's route

995
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 2: to the white to the capital, so he had to

996
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: go a different way. I don't know if any of

997
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 2: those protesters were arrested. Do you know anything about the

998
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 2: dad who was arrested, and what if any charges might

999
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,919
Speaker 2: be brought and or what Republicans could do. I can't

1000
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 2: imagine charging a dad because he wants some sort of

1001
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 2: acknowledgment of his son who died because of Biden's withdrawal recklessly,

1002
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: I think from Afghanistan.

1003
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 11: Well, yeah, if there's anyone metaphor for the for the

1004
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 11: Biden presidency, it's that plane taking off of Afghanistan with

1005
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 11: people literally trying to jump on the wheels and get

1006
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 11: out of the because they know what's coming, They know

1007
00:49:58,440 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 11: what the Taliban is going to do and they leave.

1008
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 11: I mean, that's that's a picture of how what a

1009
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 11: disaster this administration has been. I do not know. I

1010
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 11: did talk to a couple of colleagues. I think he

1011
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 11: was may have been a guest of one of our colleagues,

1012
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 11: one of our colleagues who served our country and sacrificed

1013
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 11: tremendously for our country. But other than that, I don't know,

1014
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 11: And particularly the comparison between you know, what may have

1015
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 11: happened to him and versus these uh, these these crazy

1016
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 11: protesters on on the Palestinian in the guy's issue.

1017
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 5: Congressman, Uh, what do you think about going forward the

1018
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 5: prospects of whether Joe Biden is actually going to stand

1019
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 5: on stage and debate against Donald Trump? Do you do

1020
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 5: you think that he'll be pushed into it or do

1021
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 5: you think he's going to be able to try to

1022
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 5: avoid this thing.

1023
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 11: I think the latter. I think there's little to no

1024
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 11: chance that he does it, because, I mean, President Trump,

1025
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 11: you guys talk to him a lot too. I talk

1026
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 11: to him all the time. He is as sharp as

1027
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 11: they come. He is he's a competitor. I don't I

1028
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 11: just don't see that and buy and I see him like,

1029
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,080
Speaker 11: I mean, I just don't see it, so I I

1030
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 11: think he probably doesn't. But you never know. I mean,

1031
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 11: you never know, but my gut tells me they're going

1032
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 11: to figure out a way to keep him. Kind of

1033
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 11: the campaign they ran the last time. You know, they

1034
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 11: used COVID as an excuse last time. I'm not sure

1035
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 11: what they'll do this time, but they'll probably say President

1036
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 11: Trump is you know, he's They're going to say he's

1037
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 11: so bad or something. We shouldn't be on the stage

1038
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 11: with him when when we know that there should be

1039
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 11: a debate. But I don't think he does it. I

1040
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:22,479
Speaker 11: think he stayed away.

1041
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 2: Jim, who would you tell the president? I know you

1042
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 2: talked to the President all the time, and I know

1043
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 2: that he's weighing who his vice president should be. You

1044
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 2: talked about all the Senate candidates. Obviously we're hoping to

1045
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 2: flip there. Who do you think the president should be

1046
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 2: considering as vice president to put together the best possible

1047
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 2: ticket if it's Biden Commelin.

1048
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 11: Well, I think Tim Scott's great. I think Elise is great.

1049
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 11: She's one of our college. She does a great job

1050
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 11: as our conference chair. I really like Sarah Hackebee Sanders.

1051
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 11: I mean, you know, she gave the response a year ago,

1052
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 11: and I thought she knocked it out the park when

1053
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 11: particularly the line when she said the divide in America

1054
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,160
Speaker 11: today is normal versus and then they listed all the

1055
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 11: crazy things that the left now has made mainstay and

1056
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 11: the Democrat Party. So I like all of those and

1057
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,959
Speaker 11: a bunch of others. I'm forgetting now, but let's let's

1058
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 11: never forget. This is a race between Joe Biden and

1059
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 11: President Trump. President Biden president Trump, and that's how these

1060
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 11: things are decided the guy at the top of the ticket.

1061
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 11: And I think when people look and all the great

1062
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 11: things President Trump got done, did what he said he

1063
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 11: was going to do, and did it when everyone in

1064
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 11: his town was against Never forget in twenty seventeen, every

1065
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 11: stinking Democrat was against him, everyone in the mainstream press

1066
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 11: was against him. Half the Republicans were against him, and

1067
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 11: maybe most importantly, all the BUREAUCRAI all the federal bureaucrafts

1068
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 11: were against him. And yet he got done so many

1069
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 11: things with that headwind. I think this is racis you know,

1070
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 11: obviously it's it's gonna be Trump versus Biden, and that's

1071
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 11: what people going to decide on, and they remember when

1072
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 11: they remember what things were like just three years and

1073
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,759
Speaker 11: forty eight days ago, I think they're going to be

1074
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 11: strongly for President Trump.

1075
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 5: And Jim Jordan write about everything today except single men

1076
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 5: who eat ice cream by themselves. Congressman, we appreciate you, sir,

1077
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 5: thanks for.

1078
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 11: Being with us. Take care, guys, keep it up.
