1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Thursday edition of The Clay Travis end 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show kicks off right now, five days away 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: from a midterm election that could be the biggest win 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: for Republicans certainly since the twenty sixteen presidential election, and 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, the biggest repudiation of the 7 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: Democrat agenda, of their policies, of their vision for the country, 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: of their leadership for the last two years. That could 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: be happening here in just a matter of days, and 10 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: we are laser focused on telling you all of the 11 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: latest in these races. To that end, will break down 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: Biden's speech from last night, which I am calling the 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: oration from Union Station. That was a desecration. It was 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: absolutely awful, Thank you, sir. I do what I can. 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: Awful stuff, total garbage, exactly what Clay and I thought 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: it was going to be. So we're going to dive 17 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: into some of what he said there. There has to 18 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: be a strategy, Claire and I'm going to talk more 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,839 Speaker 1: about this in a moment. There has to be some 20 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: Democrat thinking that is underway with all this that we're 21 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: not really taking into we haven't been taking into account 22 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: that much yet. We've also got some great congressional candidates 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: in really tight races. We are now if you're hearing 24 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: from somebody who's running for congress right now on this show, 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: it's because they're one a great candidate. We're vetting all 26 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: these congressional candidates. We're making sure that they're people that 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: we totally align with, and two they're in a winnable 28 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: but still contested place. Right we're hoping to give a 29 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: final push because we have reached in the states. We 30 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: have enough listeners in each of these places to make 31 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: a big difference. Bohines, North Carolina's thirteenth congressional district, will 32 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: be with us later this hour, Next Hour back again. 33 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: Kelly Shabaka, sent candidate for Alaska, jd Vance third Hour, 34 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: will be with us on the program, and also Hung Kow, 35 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: who is running for Virginia's tenth congressional district. Amazing life story. 36 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: This guy's an American hero, combat in rock Afghanistan, deployed 37 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: to Somalia. So we've got amazing guests today. But Clay, 38 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: let's just before we get into all that, and we'll 39 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: just have Jade Vans make fun of Tim Ryan for 40 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: a while, because that's obviously always entertaining. Because Tim Ryan's 41 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's he's such a bad candidate, He's so disingenuous, dishonest. 42 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: He's really the prototypical Democrat these days. Biden's speech last night, 43 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: it was as bad as we thought it was going 44 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: to be. He starts out with the assault on Nancy 45 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 1: Pelosi's husband, which is clearly the last ditch effort of 46 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: the Democrat apparatus. Think about how crazy this is everyone, 47 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: some nudist illegal alien who yes, hassted lots of conspiracy theories. 48 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: You know, he posted to pizza Gate or whatever. He 49 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: also said that Jesus Christ is the anti Christ. Okay, 50 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: this guy is a lunatic because he attacks Paul Pelosi. 51 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Because he's a crazy person. People shouldn't vote against Democrats 52 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: who have driven up the price of gas, food, left 53 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: the border wide open, made our streets less safe, and 54 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: acted like tyrannical maniacs during COVID. I mean, the fact 55 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: that the President Clay gave this speech last night from 56 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: Union Square had no new argument of any kind. Although 57 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: there's one thing I'll get into a second about everyone's 58 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: going to have to be patient with how those tallies 59 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: for votes may take some time. What was the point 60 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: of last night? Was it just desperation. I think it 61 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: is desperation, and I think it is a rally your 62 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: base speech that they have recognized. They see the same 63 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: data that we do. They probably have far better polling 64 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: data than what is released publicly, and they know that 65 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: Republicans are energized. They know that abortion has failed to 66 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: motivate their base, and what they are relying on now 67 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: is to play. Biden is the one hit wonder and 68 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: his song now is Democracies in despair, Democracies in danger, 69 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: and that this is entirely My theory, Buck is, this 70 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: is entirely designed to try to limit the size of 71 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: the red wave, to keep it to a red wave 72 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: as opposed to a red tsunami, by impressing upon the 73 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: Democrat base. You guys have to show up because democracy 74 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: is in peril. I don't think that plays with independence. 75 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it plays with Republicans. My argument against 76 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: this as a base speech, Buck is I actually think 77 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: it angers Republicans and independent and Democrats who are willing 78 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: to be thoughtful, because there still are some. Because it 79 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: doesn't address what they're dealing with on a day to 80 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: day basis. While he was speaking, Buck, I was listening 81 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: to it as I was driving, and I was taking 82 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: my kids to extracurricular activities, picking up from basketball, taking 83 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: them to dance. They've got all these dance competitions that 84 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: they do now. They do everything right, every sport under 85 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: the sun. And I'm driving around and I think I'm 86 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: like a lot of parents out there. It is just 87 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: so remarkably tone deaf. When you're driving past the price 88 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: of gas is on your right and your left as 89 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: you're driving down the road, when you are I was 90 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: going to Costco to go buy a couple of things 91 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: at Costco. When you're going out in the prices on 92 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: your groceries and your day to day activities continue to skyrocket. 93 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: And then you got this old man yelling at you 94 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: about democracy and danger because of January sixth, and he 95 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: doesn't mention And I thought this was significant, Buck. He 96 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: didn't mention any, of course, of the violent acts that 97 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: have been perpetrated by the left right. If you truly 98 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: cared about the danger to politicians in this country, how 99 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: would you not spend a stancial portion of the speech 100 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: talking about how awful it was that someone tried to 101 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: kill Brett Kavanaugh because of his Supreme Court opinion, which 102 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: frankly as bad as what happened to Nancy Pelosi's husband 103 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: is from a impacting the country perspective, nothing compares to 104 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: an attempted assassination of a Supreme Court justice to stop 105 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: a court opinion from becoming the law in terms of 106 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: its actual impact. And I think the Union Station location 107 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: for the speech is for a lot of people if 108 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: you haven't spent much time in DC Union Station starting 109 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: around let's say two thousand and five. I remember when 110 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,559 Speaker 1: I moved to DC to work at the CIA about 111 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, and there was a huge effort to 112 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: make Union Station and not just a nice railway station, 113 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: but a tourist attraction. People held and you can still go. 114 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: They have this option on the website. They held proms there. 115 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: I knew somebody who had there from at Union Station, 116 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: and people had weddings there, and it's it actually is 117 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: a physically beautiful location. But it's interesting because that was true. 118 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: It has been less and less true in recent years. 119 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: Last couple of times I was in Union Station, I 120 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: lived in DC in twenty nineteen, Clay, it's a homeless 121 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: shelter and a drug den I mean there's just there 122 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: are people living outside on the street, panhandling, harassing everybody inside. 123 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: There's drug use going on all over the place. All 124 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: the businesses inside have left. So Biden is getting a 125 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: speech from a place that is really, in so many 126 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: ways symbolic of what they have done to cities, including DC, 127 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: across the country. And so that's a part and didn't 128 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: address any of this. By the way, the fact that 129 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: the the sitting president of the party in power six 130 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: days or you know, five days and hours and some 131 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: change before the election and does not even speak about inflation, crime, 132 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm bored nothing. The fact that it's a speech about 133 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: how democracy is on the ballot. Think of your point 134 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,119 Speaker 1: about going to Costco and just being around normal people 135 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: and seeing what's going on in America. You know, they 136 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: really need to get out of the CNN green room. 137 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: They need to stop sitting around in the CBS News 138 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: fish bowl where all the producers meeting decide what's going on. 139 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: People aren't voting about whether democracy is on the ballot. 140 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: What does that even mean? It's meaningless. Even the time 141 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: that he chose to give it seven pm Eastern. The 142 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: reason why I was listening to the speech in my 143 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: car is because I had to go pick up one 144 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: of my kids at basketball practice, because he's finishing middle 145 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: school basketball. Six o'clock Central my time, and then you know, 146 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: five o'clock on Mountain, four o'clock on the West coast. 147 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: You've also got the World Series going on, which, whether 148 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: people care or not, is a big event with the 149 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: Phillies going up against the Astros. And by the way, 150 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: no beloved Phillies are playing my beloved Astros. By the way, 151 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: people listening right now, well, no, no hitter first one, 152 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: since I think like nineteen fifty six as a multiple 153 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: multiple pitcher, no hitter. But it's kind of a crazy 154 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: game last night, and so I really do think I 155 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: always try to take myself out of what we do 156 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: for a living, which is obsessively follow politics, and recognize 157 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: how three hundred and thirty million Americans live and about 158 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty nine point nine million of them 159 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: have serious responsibilities with their families. On a random Wednesday, 160 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: five weeks five days from the election, six days from 161 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: the election, and if you were going to address the 162 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: nation the fact that you would not talk about anything 163 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: that all those people are caring about the most inflation, crime, 164 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: the border, their kids, and the fact that they may 165 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: be required to get a COVID shot, the continuing lingering 166 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: impact of all the COVID failures. It is so tone 167 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: deaf that to me, Bucket had to be a motivate 168 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: the base speech because it's also the same speeching game 169 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: down in Georgia. Remember the Jim Eagle. This is even 170 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: worse than Jim Crow. This is Jim Eagle, which is 171 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: one of the stupidest things ever Jim Crow two point zero. 172 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: He gave this speech twice, I think in Philadelphia, and 173 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: I mentioned this yesterday and Miranda Divine I think it 174 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,599 Speaker 1: was also sent a tweet similar. I wonder on some 175 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: part Bright Biden's brain doesn't work well, buck But I 176 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: think he's spending way too much time with these historians, 177 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: the Michael Beslos of the world, who are convincing him 178 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: that America is more in peril than Americans actually think. 179 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: By the way, this is this is one of the 180 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: most annoying trends in cable news for anybody who sees this. 181 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: When these libs, these lib history and show up on CNN, MSNBC. 182 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I wrote a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt, 183 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: so let me tell you about the January sixth insurrections. 184 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: Like Ryan question him, he's a historian who knows about 185 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: Eleanor Roosevelt, Like slow your role, historians, I love history 186 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you know, just because I could talk about 187 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: sixteenth century Mediterranean warfare tactics doesn't mean I get argument 188 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: enders whenever I want to talk about politics today. The 189 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: best history books, as you well know, Buck, and anybody 190 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: out there who reads history knows. And I was a 191 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: history major. I mean I thought about getting my PhD 192 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: in history. I love reading and studying history. It takes 193 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: fifty or one hundred years for the best history books 194 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: to be written, the immediate aftermath stories, the presentism right, 195 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: the books that the President's right. They become part of 196 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: the part and parcel of the historic record, but they 197 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: aren't the final word because in the moment all of 198 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: us are really poor at judging history scope. And so 199 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: this idea, your point is, I think Biden is under 200 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: the grip of all these historians who were saying, you 201 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: know today is like eighteen sixty four. You've got to 202 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: understand that you know, the Union is in danger, in peril, 203 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: and I just I don't buy that, And I don't 204 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: think you're average American on a Wednesday, five six days 205 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: before where the election is driving around saying, oh my god, 206 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: the country's in peril. And the underlying aspect of this 207 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: too is we're having an election. That's the very foundation 208 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: of democracy. Arguing democracies in danger because your political opponents 209 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: may get more votes than you is actually how you 210 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: end up an authoritarian government. Let me ask you this, 211 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,599 Speaker 1: do you think that some of the Libs who have 212 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: spent two years panicking incessantly about anyone questioning elections within 213 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: a week's time are gonna start questioning elections? Clay, I 214 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: have a feeling, I have an inclination. They are going 215 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: to be a lot of people on Twitter who have 216 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: said you are not allowed to question any elections that 217 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: when this read tsunami hits, they're going to come out 218 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: and say, there's no way that Republicans elected a governor 219 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: in Oregon. You're telling me that Lee's Elvin beat Kathy 220 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: Hokel some their favor was in their favorite is you 221 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: know enjoy it's going to be black votes were black 222 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: voters were suppressed. Yeah, and so we can't really know 223 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: who actually want because of voter suppression. And you say, well, well, 224 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: how do you know there with suppression? Shut up, there's racism, 225 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 1: isn't there? So there's suppression. They don't care. Did you say, well, 226 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: show me examples of it? And they say, well, it's systemic. Well. 227 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: One thing I think I like though about about the 228 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: consciousness on the right is that more and more people 229 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: have realized that the hypocrisy is the point that the 230 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: left says one thing when it works for them and 231 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: then abandons it when it doesn't. And we say, well, 232 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: hold on a second, what about they don't care. They 233 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: don't care. It's like a child throwing a temper tantrum. 234 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what the rules of the game are. 235 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: They want what they want when they want it. But 236 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: we're looking folks, we're looking good here. We got a 237 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: bunch of key candidates who are joining us today, some 238 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: very important congressional races too, because we want to make 239 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: sure we got to run up the scoreboard for Republican 240 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: Congress as well. We'll get into all this in just 241 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: a second, but my gun owner friends out there, there 242 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: is a new, a less expensive way to keep your 243 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: shooting skills sharp and your confidence high with your firearms. 244 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: All the best shooters are doing so much of their 245 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: training doing dry fire practice at home, and they're doing 246 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: it with something called the Mantis X. This new way 247 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: of training and skill sharpening is effective and economical. Mantis 248 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: X is a firearms training system that is a no AMMO, 249 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: all electronic way to improve your shooting accuracy.

Welcome back in Clay Turravis Buck Sexton Show. Okay, 264 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: here's the deal on this historian angle Buck and I 265 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: are both history nerds. I've said on the show. One 266 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: of the things that my wife loves to make fun 267 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: of me about the most is even in high school, 268 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: I was a history nerd. I went to Civil War 269 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: sleepaway camp. I stayed at Gettysburg College for a week 270 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: in the summer after my junior year for a Civil 271 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: War Institute seminar on the eighteen sixty four Valley Campaign. 272 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: So I'm a legit civil war nerd. All right. So, 273 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: but the thing that frustrates me Buck about many of 274 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: these historians who decide to weigh in on current events 275 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: is you would think they would recognize the power of 276 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: perspective and time. Instead, they go on MSNBC and ce 277 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: ann and they are among the most historionic, among the 278 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: most fearful, among the most of everyone out there aggrieved 279 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: arguing for how awful things are right now. Listen to 280 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: what Michael Beschloss said last night on MSNBC. This is crazy. 281 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: He's a historian, He should know better. Listen, we could 282 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: be six days away from losing our rule of law 283 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: and losing a situation where we have elections that we 284 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: all can rely on. You know, those are the foundation 285 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: stones of a democracy. And a historian fifty years from now, 286 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: if historians are allowed to ride in this country, and 287 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: if there are still free publishing houses and a free press, 288 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: which I'm not certain of, but if that is true, 289 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: a historian will say what was at stake tonight and 290 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: this week was the fact whether we will be a 291 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: democracy in the future, whether our children will be arrested 292 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: and conceivably killed. We're on the edge of a brutal 293 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: authoritarian system and it could be a week away. I mean, 294 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: this guy needs a lot of valum or prozac or 295 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: something like there's something wrong with him, Like he actually 296 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: needs substantial intervention. That's some of the craziest nonsense I've 297 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: ever heard in my life. One of the reasons that 298 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: I want Clay really badly for them to legalize political 299 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: betting in this country. And I'm not somebody who I 300 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: don't like gambling, but betting on politics I'd want to do, 301 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: just because it would create some measure account of accountability. 302 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: When lunatics like this say stuff like this, but like, 303 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 1: all right, let's let's see, let's put let's put our 304 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: money down on this one. I will bet you I 305 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: will put whatever amount of money somebody demands that we're 306 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: not going to be in the dark grip of tyranny 307 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: after this election. Calm down lives, he said, whether our 308 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: children will be arrested and conceivably killed. I mean, these 309 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: people who see absolutely insane. And this is an educated man. 310 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: With the upcoming mid terms, you gotta keep something in 311 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: may and in mind. You don't just vote at the 312 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: ballot box. You vote with every dollar you spend. And 313 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: the companies you choose to spend them with. You know, Verizon, 314 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: T Mobile and AT and T, they all have left 315 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: wing ideals. And that's why it's so important right now 316 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: that you don't give your money to woke wireless companies. 317 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: How about going with Pure Talk, company that believes in 318 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,959 Speaker 1: family values. They also believe in giving you great service 319 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: at a low cost, unlimited talk, texts, plenty of data 320 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: for just thirty bucks a month. We're Pure Talk customers, 321 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: and here's what we love about them. Great coverage, same networks, 322 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: and they most importantly keep your bill much much lower. 323 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: You can show corporate America you're done funding their leftist politics. 324 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: Keep your same phone number and your same phone dial. 325 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: Pound two fifty, say Clay and Buck. Fifty percent off 326 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: first month. That's pound two five zero, say Clay and Buck. 327 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: As I stand here today, they're in candidates running for 328 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 1: every level of office in America, for governor, Congress, at 329 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: turning general, secretary of State, who won't commit and will 330 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: not commit to accepting the results of election that they're 331 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: running in. This the path to chaos in America. It's unprecedented, 332 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: it's unlawful, and it's un American. I've said before, you 333 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: can't love your country only when you win. The good 334 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: news is that Libs often never seem to love their country. 335 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: So there's that welcome back to play in Buck and 336 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: also definitely don't love their country after Donald Trump wins, 337 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: according to Biden's own logic, because they refuse to accept 338 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: that election, they set up a bogus special Council to 339 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: try a soft coup against the sitting president. Have never 340 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: even admitted what a disaster or what a dastardly, underhanded, 341 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: dirty trick this was. And we're just supposed to act like, yeah, 342 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 1: let's get lectures from old man Biden when he's awake 343 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: enough to give a speech that someone else writes for him. 344 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: The whole thing is absurd, friends, But you see, there 345 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: is one part of this at least they're at least 346 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: Democrats with this focus. I do believe in Clan I 347 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday, that it's because they're keeping the 348 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: democracy in peril apparatus in place for running against Donald Trump, 349 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: because they think that will actually start to worry. And 350 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: I look at will be with Trump on the ballot, 351 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: it does become more of a this does fall more 352 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: into the machinery that they can use of. You know, 353 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: Trump is the worst, and he's stolen, and he's Hitler 354 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: and everything, all this other stuff. But beyond that, I 355 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: think Clay, it's also they're trying to create a an 356 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,719 Speaker 1: emotional safe space for all of these all these Democrats, 357 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: all these libs out there who are about to see 358 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: the American people are by majority, obviously not all of them, 359 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: because there's going to be you know, a big percentage 360 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: of vote Democrat no matter what, but by a majority, 361 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: a sound majority, a solid majority of the American people 362 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna saying what you guys have done is crazy. Okay, 363 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: this is a bad idea. Your ideas are bad. I'm 364 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: not happy, and the American people will have some clarity 365 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: at least on that. But I also think that it's 366 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: because anything they can do that gives breathing room from 367 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: the issues for these candidates is to their benefit. Right now. 368 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: I give you, and you know I'm this race has 369 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: particular residence for me. Kathy Hokel, who has gone from 370 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: there is no crime problem too. We're doing a great 371 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: job on the crime problem. We're going to send more 372 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: cops into the subways a week before the election. It 373 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: seem like we actually care about this. Here she is 374 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: just saying New York is super safe. Play clip four. 375 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm not satisfied with the situation either. This is a 376 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: nationwide crime phenomenal. Crime is up everywhere New York City. 377 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: Telling you it's the safest big stay in America, and 378 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: it truly is. Statistically doesn't deal with the fact that 379 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: there's a problem out there. We have crimes that are 380 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: going down. Murders and shootings are down fifteen percent since 381 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: I've been done her. That's important, but other crimes have 382 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: gone up. We see that, and so I'm working less 383 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: real solutions. Yeah, I think it's interesting that people. She's 384 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: tried all this, She's tried every version, so now you're 385 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: hearing the Well, it is bad, but we're working on it, 386 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: but it's getting better, but it needs to be better. 387 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: She has no real message on this. And it's because 388 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: you open up the New York Post this morning, Clay, 389 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: and you see that a woman right on the pier 390 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: on the Hudson River, an area I know very well, 391 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: near the West Village, one of the most expensive, trendiest, 392 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: most heretically safe for people who are not familiar with 393 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: New York City. This is a fancy safe in quotes 394 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: area of Manhattan in New York City. And a woman 395 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: was jogging this morning and she was it was early 396 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: in the morning along Pier forty five, right near Christopher Street, 397 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: very famous street in the West Village. A man grabbed 398 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,160 Speaker 1: her from behind, choked her unconscious, raped her, and stole her, 399 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: stole her belongings. People read that and they're just like, enough, 400 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: this is outrageous. This, I mean, this is horrific, and 401 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: anyone who is a threat to public safety needs to 402 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: be locked up. In a cell for a long time. 403 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: Who wants to guess whether this individual, whenever they find him, 404 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: has already been arrested ten times, Clay fifteen times, it 405 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: has residence. First of all, I think this is why 406 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: women are overwhelmingly breaking for Republicans as we get closer 407 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: to elections, because they feel crime more than men do. 408 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: And let me explain what I mean when I say 409 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: feel crime more. If you're fortunate enough to be a 410 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: man right now, Buck, I know you're the same way. 411 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: You're about to get married. But I really don't think 412 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: about my personal safety very often. Right It's not like 413 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: I'm a big, terrifying guy, an MMA fighter or anything 414 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: like that, and it's certainly not special forces, but I'm 415 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: six ft one hundred and eighty five pounds, like I 416 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: just I don't worry about myself buy in large anywhere 417 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: that I go. Every single woman listening to us right 418 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: now thinks about her physical safety all day long, every 419 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 1: day because women are not as large, and they are 420 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: often targets of violent crime. And I think that's why 421 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: so much remember the Eliza Fletcher story from Memphis, Buck 422 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: that hit home with so many women. She was out 423 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: also jogging early in the morning, young mom trying to 424 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: get her jog in so she could get back home 425 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: and help her kids get up and start their day. 426 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: There are a lot of women like this woman, I 427 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: guarantee you who was jogging early in New York that 428 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 1: are out early because they have so many family responsibilities. 429 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: They're trying to stay in shape, they're driving hard, trying 430 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: to do as much as they can, and they feel 431 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: that fear in a way that men don't, and I 432 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 1: think that's why they're breaking so overwhelmingly for publicans right 433 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: now nationwide. It doesn't have to be this way. This 434 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: is the other part of it that the Democrats insist 435 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: that we don't ever actually understand or you know this. 436 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: This doesn't actually happen in This doesn't happen in Tokyo, 437 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: This doesn't happen in Dubai. This doesn't happen in Warsaw. 438 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: You know, there are cities where you don't just get 439 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: attacked and raped and possibly murdered while you're out for 440 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: a jog. That is a thing that exists in the 441 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: world today. And we've actually gotten to a point in 442 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: New York City, so people say, oh, well, Japan's a 443 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: very different society in New York City ten years ago, 444 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: if you if someone had told me, you know, my 445 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: own blood, my sister and my mother. They said, is 446 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: it's safe for me to go jogging at night alone 447 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: in the park or alone along the pier? I said, absolutely, sure, 448 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: lightning can strike anywhere, but you are not being reckless 449 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: with your own safety as a woman. That has changed. 450 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: And this is this is to your point, Clay, this 451 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: is also why people are waking up to this. Kathy 452 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: Hokel wants to play games. She wants to say, oh well, 453 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: shootings are down fifteen percent. Shootings overwhelmingly still involve people 454 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: who are in or around the drug trade. So that's 455 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: giving you a sense of the most Obviously the murders, 456 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: and the murders are usually a proxy for overall violence 457 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,479 Speaker 1: and crime, but not always. In New York City. You 458 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: look at assault, you look at burglary, robbery, armed robbery, 459 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: car theft, those categories are up in the last year, 460 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: and I from mind the last three years, twenty thirty. 461 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: And that makes you anxious, and it makes life unlivable. 462 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: And that's true in Houston and Portland and Chicago and 463 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: New York in nam a city, right And the other 464 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: part of these crime statistics is how many people live 465 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: in cities where it takes so long now for the 466 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: police to respond that you're not even calling about minor crimes. Right, 467 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: something gets stolen off your porch, something gets stolen outside 468 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: of your house, are you calling police to even report it? 469 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about small quality of life crimes. A lot 470 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: of people are just like, it's not worth the time. 471 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: It's going to take hours, I don't know when they're 472 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: going to show up, and they're certainly not going to 473 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: catch anybody for this, and so we made fun of 474 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: it happened to your scooter. But I mean like is 475 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: of course on small personal possession type crimes, like these 476 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: people are just saying, you know what, they are not 477 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: even going to do anything. I'm not even gonna waste 478 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: my time, which means a lot of these data points 479 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: are not even reflective on some levels of the crimes 480 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: that are actually going on. And my scooter was stolen 481 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: right before Thanksgiving in front of a fancy steakhouse in 482 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: midtown Manhattan with hundreds of people on the street, and 483 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: it was stolen professionally. Somebody broke the lock and you know, 484 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: and took off with it. You know, somebody who knew 485 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 1: what they were doing, and you just sit here, you go, 486 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: this isn't happening all over the place, happening all over 487 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: the country, and people have had enough of it. And 488 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: another thing I'll just point out, Clay. You know, whenever 489 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: there are crimes that are reported and there are arrests 490 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: that you can count and tabulate, there are so many 491 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: crimes that go unreported. And also so many of these 492 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: individuals who do eventually get arrested have committed ten crimes 493 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: that nobody has actually even caught them for yet. Right, 494 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: you usually don't get caught on the first time. In fact, 495 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: usually criminals escalate.

You meet so many interesting people, 546 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: you hear so many tremendous stories, and just being out 547 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: on the ground talking with voters is tremendously rewarding, and 548 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: that's something that we've really enjoyed doing here for the 549 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: past really a year and a half, but even more 550 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: so over the past thirty days. Though. What are the 551 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: people that you're speaking to in the district that you 552 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: want to be representing. What are they telling you that 553 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: people across the country need to hear that they want 554 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: you to address. I mean, what are their challenges and 555 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: what are their hopes? Well, you know, I'll say it's economy. Economy, economy. 556 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: People are hurting right now with inflation eight point three percent, 557 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: that's the equivalent of one month's salary for the American people. 558 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: What's unsustainable. We have to rein in you know, the 559 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: price of goods, and you know, people are hurting when 560 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: they go to the gas pump, they're hurting when they 561 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: go to the grocery store. Their everyday needs just cost more. 562 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: And we have to get government spending under control, which 563 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: leads to this rampant inflation. I've talked about the first 564 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: thing we need to do in Congress is pass a 565 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: balance budget. A moment we have to balance our checkbook, 566 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,479 Speaker 1: and my wife and ice household, and every other American 567 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: does too. In social Congress, and this is just common 568 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,239 Speaker 1: sense stuff. We haven't done that since nineteen ninety five 569 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: when New Ginger a speaker. But I'm competent with the 570 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: Republican majority and conservative leadership will be able to do 571 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: something of that nature to hopefully get government spending under 572 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: control when reigning this outrageous inflation bo As we're sitting 573 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,719 Speaker 1: here five days out, you get the sense when you're 574 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: running in political campaigns where the momentum is much like 575 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: again from your athletic background, you can tell how a 576 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: game is going sometimes based on how the body language 577 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: is on the field where people are jumping around. Do 578 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: you get the sense that in North Carolina, in your 579 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: district and also in the state, that we are seeing 580 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: a Republican surge, that the Republican red wave is beginning 581 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,719 Speaker 1: to crest five days out? It's very palpable. I mean, 582 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: you hear every single day when you're talking to voters. 583 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: I've been working early voting locations in the morning, and 584 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: you see Republicans showing up. They're very enthusiastic to vote, 585 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,479 Speaker 1: and we're seeing the results and early voting members already 586 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: coming in. But you know, the big surge is going 587 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: to be on election day. And I'll say this, this 588 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: is one of the most competitive Republican winning suits in 589 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: the country. I think the red wave will start right 590 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: here in North Carolina's thirteenth district and election nights. So 591 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: we need everyone to get out and vote here. Your 592 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: voice matters, your vote matters, and hopefully we can we 593 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: can leave the title. We're speaking of Bohines. He's running 594 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,640 Speaker 1: in North Carolina's thirteenth congressional district. What are some of 595 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: the differences between you and your opponent that people who 596 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: live in your district, people who are in the thirteenth, 597 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: what do they need to know? Well, you know, I 598 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: grew up in a family of small business centers were 599 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: we weren't involved in the political process for a long time. 600 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: We're not some part of some political dynasty. We were 601 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: just fed up what we saw doing on in our 602 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: country and felt like we need to stand up and 603 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: fight back against the radical left that's shifted away in 604 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: our rights for gage at the time. You know, my 605 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: opponents from California is a California Democrat that moved to 606 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: North Carolina. He's a defense attorney. He's run for office 607 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: in California, lost out there, decided to run here in 608 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: North Carolina where he thought he might have a better chance. 609 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: But you know, I represent North Carolina values here. I 610 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: represent blue collar workers. We represent hard work people that 611 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: just you know, want to live their lives and keep 612 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: government out of it. And that's what we're fighting for. 613 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: We're fighting for parental rights here to make sure parents 614 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: can decide what their children are taught and at what 615 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: age their taught certain material. We're fighting to reduce crime, 616 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: which has been rampant, you not only here in our 617 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: community but across the country. And to see this immense 618 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: overflow of I legal buyers coming to our country, bringing 619 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: with them drugs and fitting all which is leading to 620 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: destruction in our community as to the local level. And 621 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, we're fighting to stop that stuff. But most importantly, 622 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 1: we're fighting to create opportunity for people. And that's something 623 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: we talk about all the time, and that's something we 624 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 1: fought for in our family with our small business, and 625 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: we look forward to leaving the charge and not here 626 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: in North Carolina.
