00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: Wherever you may be across this great country or this

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: great land. We hope you are having a fantastic Wednesday.

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: We are ready to roll. We have got an absolutely

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: loaded show for you. Were going to dive into the

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: ridiculous commentary from Joe Biden yesterday in Philadelphia, the budget

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: three point five trillion dollars, also Texas, the voting rights

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: bills continuing to move all over the country. We will

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: talk with Texas Governor Greg Abbott in the second hour,

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: but we begin with Joe Biden's address in Philadelphia yesterday

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: where he compared the state of our current union with

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: the state of our union back during the Civil War.

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: And he did it a lot of different times. Here

15
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: was one of those cuts. Play number two is just

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: such a threat. Literally, I've said it before. We're facing

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War.

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: As not believe, since the Civil War, the Confederates back

19
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: then never breached the capital as insurrectionists did on January sixth.

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this alarm you. I'm saying this because

21
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: you should be alarmed. This is just such a flagrantly

22
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: absurdly ridiculous comparison. Buck, and I think we need to

23
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: explain exactly what's going on here. But this is not

24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: in any way similar. They have moved from saying Buck

25
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: that nine to eleven was not as bad as January sixth,

26
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: Now Joe Biden has said that the Civil War. He

27
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: is comparing the Civil War and the Confederate Army to

28
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: the riot that we saw on January very sixth, as

29
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: if they are in any way part and parcel of

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the same thing. This is so laughably absurd, and yet

31
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: he's even saying in his speech this isn't hyperbole. I

32
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: know Joe Biden has said a lot of ridiculous things

33
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: in his career, but this is up there among the

34
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: most ridiculous that he has ever uttered on a public

35
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: stage as a president. Democrats have embraced crisis governance, and

36
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: that even means the creation of crisis for their governance.

37
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: They'll they'll stir up a narrative, They'll they'll conjure up

38
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: a way of talking about these things so that everyone

39
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: is supposed to be terrified. If he noticed at the end,

40
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: he says, you know, I'm not saying this to scare you, basically,

41
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: but you should be scared. I mean, that's one of

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: the most classic Biden moments you've ever seen. Right, this

43
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: guy is a true demagogue. So usually a demagogue is

44
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: a person who says things that he knows to be

45
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: untrue to a bunch of people that he thinks to

46
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: be not very smart. And I think that's Menkin or

47
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: someone said that Biden's a guy who's not very smart,

48
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: who also says things that he thinks to be untrue

49
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: to people that he knows wants to hear things that

50
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: are untrue. And that's where we are with the Democrats. Now,

51
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: what really is the point of invoking January sixth and

52
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: Confederates during the Civil War? Is the suggestion? I mean,

53
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: it's quite clear what the suggestion is actually that somehow

54
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of unarmed protesters. I mean the fact that

55
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: the media is still refers to it as a deadly riot. Yeah,

56
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: deadly for one of the rioters, and we still can't

57
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: know the name of the officer who shot her. It

58
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: wasn't deadly because of the rioters attacking people and killing them.

59
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: And yet he's comparing it to that, he's comparing it

60
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: to the Confederates, to the Civil War. You have to

61
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: wonder is anything too much for them? I mean, Joe

62
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: Biden is a reckless buffoon who a year ago was

63
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: pretending he wanted to unite the country. No one could

64
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: really say that that's been the mission here. In fact,

65
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: dividing the country by using the most overheated and absurd

66
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: rhetoric possible is what's going on here. I mean, look

67
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: at the voting provisions they're talking about in Texas, Clay,

68
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: We've been discussing them. We're going to have the Governor

69
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: of Texas on today, Abbott to just get into that

70
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: whole situation with us in some detail. Voter ID is

71
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Jim Crow two point zero. I mean, they're really going

72
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: to compare segregation of water fountains and public accommodations and

73
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: literacy tests explicitly designed to prevent black Americans from voting

74
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: during that period of our nation's history, from everybody having

75
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: to show voter ID. I mean, what won't Joe Biden

76
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: say at this point the media is such a bunch

77
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: of throne shining boot liquors. It's so depressing and depraved

78
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: to see them doing this, and just Joe Biden is

79
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: a mediocrity who's been elevated so that the handlers around

80
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: him can have left wing governance through you know, Grandpa Biden,

81
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: it's madness. I mean what he said yesterday, it was, honestly,

82
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: clay the worst speech Joe Biden's ever given. And that's

83
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: saying a lot. And what is transparently ridiculous about it

84
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: is all of the falsehoods. Because again this idea and

85
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: I wish and I'm sure there are a lot of

86
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: people who could go back in time and splice the

87
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: coverage between an entire summer of riots where lots of

88
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: people were injured and lots of death occurred, that was

89
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: defended to the high heavens. What riots are the voice

90
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: of the voiceless, right, That's what we heard from the

91
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: Don Lemons and the Jake Tappers and the and the

92
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow's all summer long as the cities across America

93
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: were burning. And now there's this obsession with January sixth

94
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: and labeling it and trying to tie it in with

95
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: the overarching theme of the Democratic Party buck which is

96
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: pretty straight forward. Everything is racist Joe Biden has bought in.

97
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: You'd asked, why is he trying to tie it to

98
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: the Confederacy. I think he's trying to tie it to

99
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the Civil War because he's trying to equate people who

100
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: protested on January sixth with slaveholding Confederates back in the

101
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: eighteen sixties. And one of the great flaws that has

102
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: been allowed to flourish over the past several years is

103
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: this attack upon American history and a fundamental lack of

104
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: understanding of all of our history. But to argue after

105
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: four here's what offends me from a pure logic perspective, Bucket,

106
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction to this. We spent

107
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: four years, the Democrats did, and in this country debating

108
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: whether Donald Trump was a legitimately elected president or not,

109
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: and whether Russia had colluded to put him into office,

110
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: whether he was a Manchurian candidate. Patron saint of the

111
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, Stacy Abrams never conceded her loss of the

112
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: Georgia election in the governatorial race against Brian Kemp by

113
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: fifty thousand votes and became a hero. How can you

114
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: argue that our democracy is under siege now when you

115
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: spent four years twice, impeaching the democratically elected president of

116
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: the United States, questioning his legitimacy, spending hundreds of millions

117
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: of dollars on investigations, and now you're going to argue

118
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: that our democracy is sacrosanct because you have ended up

119
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: in office and any questioning of how you ended up

120
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: in office is unfair. That is transparently false. They're also

121
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: doing this because it's preemptive strike against the next election.

122
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: One thing that always haunts Democrats is that they're not

123
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: very good at governance. Demagoguery, playing to the mob, pandering.

124
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: These are things Democrats excel at, but governance at results

125
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: of policies that people could see and feel and that matter,

126
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: not so good, as we see in the Biden administration.

127
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: They're already concerned about their grip on power. They know

128
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: that anybody who's paying attention can see that good old

129
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: Grandpa Joe is an absurdity and always has been. They

130
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: used to know that too, which is what's so remarkable.

131
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: But now they pretend that that wasn't the case in

132
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: previous elections, where he was effectively laughed off the stage,

133
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: And now here we are being told that this is

134
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: the greatest assault on our democracy and since the Civil War, Clay,

135
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: and explicitly comparing it to Jim Crowe. And remember Joe

136
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: Biden's the guy who said, quote, put y'all back in

137
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: chains and quote, I mean, he's already played with racial

138
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: politics in ways that are reckless and deeply irresponsible. But

139
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 1: they're setting it up so that if they lose the

140
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: next election, I can assure you, and I mean the

141
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: midterms and the presidential election after that, Democrats right now

142
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: already believe then it's because Republicans suppressed minority votes. It's

143
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: built in, built in from the beginning. And then that

144
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: means that the mentality becomes anything to do the hashtag

145
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: resistance of the four years under Trump, to bring the

146
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: gears of government to a hall, to shut down important

147
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: parts of federal bureaucracies, to use the courts to block

148
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: federal policy in bad faith. It's all justified, Clay, because

149
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: it can never be justified, it can never be acceptable

150
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: for this Republican party that's trying to institute Jim Crow

151
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: two point zero to win another election. Well, and ultimately,

152
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: to me, what it represents, Buck is a recognition of

153
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: how they had the fix in in twenty twenty and

154
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: they won the election by forty thousand votes. They had

155
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: big tech in their corner. They changed all the rules

156
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: about how people could vote because of COVID again, and

157
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: I think this is significant, and I think it spells

158
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: doom for the Democratic Party in twenty twenty two and

159
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: twenty four. And I think some of the rational Democrats

160
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: know this. If not for COVID, Donald Trump wins in

161
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty by, I think what would have been an

162
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: electoral landslide, right. I think you would have flipped Minnesota.

163
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: I think you would have won Nevada. I think you

164
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: would have won New Mexico. If not for COVID, all

165
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: of their Donald Trump orange man bad arguments disappear. COVID

166
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: became the approximation, the metaphor of Donald Trump's awfulness, and

167
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: they leaned into it as much as they possibly could.

168
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: And they're still leaning into it. All right, We're going

169
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: to talk about that some with all the ridiculous comments

170
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: that are still being made about the vaccination related issues.

171
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: But I think they know that a whirlwind is coming

172
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: for them in twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four,

173
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: and they are desperate buck to change the laws while

174
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: they can to try to forestall that whirlwind because identity

175
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: politics and cancel culture is going to go up in

176
00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: smokes to your point, Orange Man, bad worst hitler, or

177
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: the stuff that they used to say fascism in America.

178
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: The best they could do with the Trump administration in

179
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: office during a once in a century pandemic was to

180
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: squeak out a victy thousand votes for the presidency and

181
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: have a fifty fifty tie in the Senate and actually

182
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: lose seats because they came into it with a majority

183
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: in the House. I wouldn't feel particularly good about the

184
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: near term future of progressivism in America. Term you don't

185
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: hear enough these days anymore. But that's why they're going

186
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: for broke, and I think that's what this really is.

187
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: They're pushed to try to break through on the filibuster.

188
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: Remember it's crazy until they do it. They got rid

189
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: of the filibuster for judicial nominees, which was considered sacrosanct

190
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: until it wasn't. And that's so let's let's talk about

191
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: what they're actually trying to accomplish with this, because I

192
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: know you and I have Yeah, we have some different

193
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: theories there, and I think that'll be worth discussing as well.

194
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: Why was this speech suddenly made on Tuesday and what

195
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: might also be behind it addition to what we were

196
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: already talking about, there's a growing there's a growing cybercrime

197
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: out there, folks who want you all to be very

198
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: aware of. It's called home title theft. And if you

199
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: think this is not something that can happen to you,

200
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you it can because all of your

201
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: homes titles out there are all online. That's where it's

202
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: stored now in the cloud, So hackers both foreign and

203
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: domestic can find ways to steal your home's title. They

204
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: use a quick claim deed to kick you off, They

205
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: forge your signature, and then they start taking out loans

206
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: against your home. This is all done electronically, and the

207
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: usual identity theft services your bank don't protect you. That's

208
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: why Clay and I want you to get home title lock.

209
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: We both have it, and you get home Title Walk

216
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Republican friends in Congress and the states and cities and

217
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: counties to stand up for God's sake and help prevent

218
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: this concerted effort to undermine our elections and the sacred

219
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: rights to vote. Have you no shame, whether it's stopping

220
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: foreign interference our elections or the spread of disinformation from within,

221
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: we have to work together. The shamelessness belongs to Biden

222
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: the Democrats on this one. Welcome back to the Clay

223
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton show. Honestly a jaw dropping speech

224
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: in the just sheer audacity, the destructive tone, the lies,

225
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: the exaggerations. What are we really looking at? I mean, Clay,

226
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: when we start to pull in, we start to pull

227
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: the facts into this. Look at what's actually happening in

228
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: Texas and Georgia and the states that have upset the

229
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: Democrats so very much. And there are you know a

230
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: few dozen laws that have been passed that go to elections.

231
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: If these were such a big problem, where's the constitutional objection? Right?

232
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: If what's going on here was actually a violation of

233
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: equal protection or a violation of the Voting Rights Act

234
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: or anything. No, but instead they just talk about the Confederacy,

235
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: nine to eleven insurrectionists and stopping minorities from voting. It's

236
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: just a it's just a bull crap argument they're making. Well,

237
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: and if you're going to argue that the very foundation

238
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: of democracy is at stake, would it you have to

239
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: acknowledge all of the lies that were told for the

240
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: four years when Donald Trump was in office, Like why

241
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: would that not have been a threat to the foundation

242
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: of our democracy when you had independent councils investigating whether

243
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: or not Russia had put Donald Trump in office? When

244
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: you effectively said that was the Manchurian candidate, right, a

245
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: lot of left wingers did. And now you are arguing

246
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: that because of I just I it is such a

247
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: flagrantly falsehood that it's wild to me that all of

248
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: this is going on. And this is why we teased

249
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: as we went to break I wonder how much of

250
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: this this is my theory of what's going on. You

251
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: tell me if you buy into any of this at all,

252
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: and we're obviously going to continue to discuss this. Yesterday

253
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: you were like, hey, don't believe that you're really dealing

254
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: with somebody very smart, because my thing was, why did

255
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: they decide to give this speech on a random Tuesday.

256
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: Don't assume that they're geniuses, yeah, or that there's a

257
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: there's a basically like a chess match that you're engaged in,

258
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: right that you're not playing against a very high level

259
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: chess participant chess player. But on the same day that

260
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: Biden gives this speech about election interference, and I do

261
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: think there's pressure on Biden from his left wing over

262
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: the filibuster, which we can get into certainly in the

263
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: next segment. But I think what's going on here is

264
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: on the same day he gave this speech, a wildly

265
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: left wing budget is agreed to in the Senate with

266
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: the Budgetary Committee, and I think they are oki doking

267
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: Republicans here because they want Republicans to fight on cultural

268
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: issues like voting and everything else. And meanwhile, they want

269
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: to pass the most radical budget in most of our lives,

270
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: and they want the battleground to be on culture issues

271
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: as opposed to the substance of the budget. And they

272
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: know that most people in the media, and also I

273
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: think frankly most politicians are going to take the cultural

274
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: bait and not focus as much on this massive, unbelievable,

275
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: unlike anything we have ever seen in our lives peacetime

276
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: budget that Joe Biden is ramming through. But a lot

277
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: of the divisive back and forth on some of these topics, Clay,

278
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at critical race theory and

279
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: how that's become a national there's become a national counter

280
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: revolution really to that that comes from the right. I mean,

281
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: there's a clear focus on race, racial issues, and as

282
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: it pertains to voting, but as it pertains to everything

283
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: in the country right now. So at some level, maybe

284
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: this is meant to distract from the budget, but I

285
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: mean for how long and dare I say at what cost? Right?

286
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: There are other there are other factors here. I mean,

287
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: I think I would argue that the Democrats want to

288
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: create enough political pressure on cinema and mansion that they

289
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: will actually get rid of the filibuster, which I know

290
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: it seems crazy right now, but a lot of things

291
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: seemed crazy until Democrats wanted to do it. We'll come

292
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: back to this, Yeah, I think it's a really intriguing discussion,

293
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: to be sure, and look, already over twenty thousand of

294
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,520

Speaker 1: wherever you listen to your favorite podcast presented by My

315
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: Pillow and the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Welcome back to

316
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: the Clay Travis and Buck Sex. Then show Buck here

317
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: with Clay and we are talking about all of the

318
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: latest with the Biden's speech yesterday, the back and forth

319
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: over what they're calling and I want to be very clear,

320
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: Jim Crow two point oh is a common Democrat term

321
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: for Republicans bills in states that do things like give

322
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: twelve hours a day of voting in the last week

323
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: of an election, that expand early voting parameters, I mean

324
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: among the provisions. So if the real plan was to

325
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: suppress votes, they're going about it in a very strange way.

326
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: But they do use terms like Jim Crow two point

327
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: zero as reckless and underhanded as that is. Here, for example,

328
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: is Biden explaining what he thinks the Republican goal is.

329
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: They want voters to dive further and be able to

330
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: be in a position where they wonder who's watching them

331
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: and intimidating them to wait longer to vote, to drive

332
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot long excuse me, a long

333
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: way to get to vote. They want to make it

334
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: so hard and inconvenient that they hope people don't vote

335
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: at all. That's what this is about. This year, along

336
00:20:54,520 --> 00:21:00,120
Speaker 1: seventeen states of enacted, not just proposed, but enacted twenty

337
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: eight new laws to make it harder for Americans to vote,

338
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: not to mention and catch this nearly four hundred additional

339
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: bills Republican members of the state legislatures are trying to pass.

340
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: The twenty first century Jim Crow assault is real. It's unrelenting,

341
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: and we're going to challenge it vigorously. Twentieth century Jim

342
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: twenty first century Jim Crow assault, Clay. I mean, this

343
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: is this is awful. I mean to say, these kinds

344
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: of things, and it doesn't withstand even the slightest scrutiny

345
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: of the facts of what is contained in these bills

346
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do. And we can also see

347
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: here that the emotional impulse they're trying to capitalize on

348
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: is well, anything that we have to do to stop

349
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: these evil, racist Republicans is going to be justified. And

350
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 1: I think this is where we get into and by

351
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: the way, Biden is explicit about it. He's saying hr one.

352
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: Whenever they say hr one, what they're saying is get

353
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: rid of the filibuster so we can get through HR one.

354
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: That's that's what they're saying needs to happen. Yeah, And

355
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: the biggest issue here is and I think this is

356
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: a more sophisticated discussion. So what Joe Biden is saying

357
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: is propaganda, It is lies, it is untruths. Okay, let's

358
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: put that aside. What the Democrats are attempting to do

359
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: buck in passing this voting bill and federalizing everything, I

360
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: don't believe is remotely constitutional either. So even if they

361
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: passed to this bill, if you read which I did,

362
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 1: and I bet very few people have the most recent

363
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decision as it pertains to voting laws that

364
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: are going to be implemented by the states, the idea

365
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: that we could federalize all election law, first of all,

366
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: I don't believe is constitutional. Secondly, all you have to

367
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: do in reading the recent decision that came out of

368
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: Arizona is recognized that states have the right to make

369
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: regulations that are designed to balance out to competing interests right,

370
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: access and trustworthiness. Right. So everything is about balancing out

371
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: those interests. And right now the Supreme Court has said

372
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: we are going to defer to the states absent a

373
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: direct racial design that is unconstitutional to drive down turn out. Well,

374
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: that doesn't exist here. And really what is at play

375
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: is one the law that the Democrats want to pass

376
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: is going to be found, I believe, unconstitutional, and so

377
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do is not allowed under the

378
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: Constitution itself, which means far from what the Republicans are

379
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: doing being a direct attack against democracy. If you had

380
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: to say what is the bigger direct attack against democracy,

381
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: I think most people would say, well, it's passing a

382
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: law that is unconstitutional. Okay, what the Republicans are doing

383
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: is not unconstitutional. But remember again, the big fix here

384
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: was all of these laws got changed to allow for

385
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: different types of voting because of COVID, and now people

386
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: looked at the results and they said, hey, this was

387
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: not creating trust in the results with how the votes

388
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 1: came in in Arizona, and how the votes came in

389
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: in Georgia, and how the votes came in in Wisconsin

390
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: and Michigan and all these other places that were tight elections.

391
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: And but I keep coming back to this. Florida in

392
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: two thousand got justifiably crushed over all the failures in

393
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: their voting process. And then do you know what Florida did.

394
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: They went back and addressed all of the flaws that

395
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: they saw emerge in two thousand and what state that

396
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: was highly contentious was arguably the most reliable in getting

397
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: their results out to everybody on election night twenty twenty. Florida,

398
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: which is a big, complicated state filled with people who

399
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 1: speak all different languages, filled with all different groups of people,

400
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: they saw in two thousand the incredible flaw in their

401
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: system and they fixed it. To me, Florida, believe it

402
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: or not. I know, we say Florida man's crazy, but

403
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: Florida man got it right. And what you need is reliable,

404
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: consistent application of the law and rapid results on election

405
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: nights so people don't sit around and say the fix

406
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 1: is in. That's the very essence of democracy. That is

407
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: why so much of what Joe Biden is saying is

408
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: just filled with laws. The Democrats are experts in undermining elections.

409
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: As we know, we've been discussing what they did in

410
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Approach they've taken in the past, and you

411
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: mentioned two thousand as well. When there's an election in

412
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: the past that has been contested on grounds that end

413
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: up being either meritless or entirely fanciful. Democrats are really

414
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: the experts in the field. They're unparalleled, and yet now

415
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: here we are being told the big threat is that

416
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: Republicans don't accept will refuse to accept. I think it's

417
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: also an important reminder out there for everyone that even

418
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: when Democrats win, they're the worst of winners. They don't

419
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: view this as some kind of era for America to

420
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: be so much better. They live in constant fear and

421
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,719
Speaker 1: anxiety of not having power. They can't even really enjoy

422
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: the fact that Joe Biden is president right now, because

423
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: at some level, I think there's an insecurity about the

424
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: election with Biden for Democrats. Never mind what Republicans think.

425
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: They know that it was a pandemic year, they know

426
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: they changed a lot of rules, They know that there

427
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: was an exploitation of the anxiety around COVID to get

428
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: things done in the election that they would not have

429
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: otherwise been able to do. And now they want to

430
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: make these things permanent. So now what was justified as

431
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: emergency is set up as what has to be the

432
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: standard going forward. And this is the basis for how

433
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: you actually get one party rule and authoritarianism all throughout

434
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: history and countries. It's oh no, it's just this one time,

435
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: which is I could even talk about COVID with just

436
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: one week, just one month, or fifteen days just to

437
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: mask just one vaccine, whatever it may be. They had

438
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: an incremental approach to the way they were going to

439
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: change the elections this time around, and when they got

440
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: their way in state after state. Now what they're doing

441
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: is making sure that anyone who tries to address the shortcomings,

442
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: the loopholes, as you point out with Florida, just trying

443
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: to make things more efficient, more transparent, and therefore have

444
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: a greater degree of faith in what's going on. They

445
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: accused that of being racist, and I think that effort

446
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: as being racist. And one thing we have to remember

447
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: is that the same way that some how Democrats always

448
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: find themselves on the side of an issue when it

449
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: comes to the law, where it seems like if they're

450
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: not pro criminal, they're pretty close to it. You know,

451
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: let out people right away from prison who do bad things,

452
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: give them shorter sentences. Across the board, the Democrats seem

453
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: to do the pro criminal party. They're also the pro

454
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: fraud party in elections. Everything you can do. That makes

455
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: an election harder for fraud to occur in they oppose

456
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: every single thing. What else do you really have to

457
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: know about their intent? Clay Well, what we need is

458
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: a downright ass kicking to be blunt, because when the

459
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: votes are being decided on the margins, people sit around

460
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: and argue about margins. We need, I believe, the right

461
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: candidate in twenty twenty four to just absolutely dismantle Kamala

462
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: Harris and destroy her. And I think we're gonna get it.

463
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we're gonna talk about what's going

464
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: on down in Texas and set the table for or

465
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, who is scheduled to

466
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: join us at the top of the second hour. But

467
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: we want to try to save you money in the meantime.

468
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: Right now, one of the best things you can do

469
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: to save money is go refy your mortgage or make

470
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: sure that you are locking in an unbelievably low rate

471
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: if you are buying a new home. Mortgage rates today

472
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: have never been lower just about in the history of

473
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: the country, and you can save up to a thousand

474
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: dollars a month. Think about what that could be worth

475
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: twelve a thousand additional dollars to you, and all you

476
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: have to do is go to American Financing and check

477

00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: And as we get ready, the Governor of Texas, Greg

507
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: Abbott about to join us in the next segment, Buck,

508
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: I thought it might make some sense to kind of

509
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: recalibrate discuss a new what exactly is going on. So

510
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: all these Texas House of Representatives members are theoretically basically

511
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: on like a three week vacation to Washington, DC because

512
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: they can't come back into Texas. Could be a lot

513
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: longer than three weeks. The governor is going to talk

514
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: to us about how he could keep extending the emergency

515
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: session so that they could have to end up staying

516
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: out for a year, and he has also talked about

517
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: having them arrested and brought into the Texas State Capitol

518
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: in Austin to do their jobs, which that would be

519
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: quite a day. And I take a Texan at his

520
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: word when he says that, I do believe, and I

521
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: want to ask him this as well, that he could

522
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: theoretically call for emergency elections because they've effectively abandoned these

523
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: fifty eight I believe, or fifty six Democrat legislators have

524
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: abandoned their posts. They do not have leave to do this.

525
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: They're subverting the system, they're breaking the law. So I

526
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: think that there should be a force meets viewpoint here.

527
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: We should make sure that there are consequences for this. Well.

528
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting and I don't know this. How

529
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: long they could stay outside the state of Texas remains

530
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: to be determined. It seems like, to be fair, this

531
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: is mostly just a big show and in three weeks

532
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: they'll go back and the state of Texas will be

533
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: able to enact the laws that they feel make the

534
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: most sense as they're duly elected representatives. But if they

535
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: stayed out long enough, I don't think they would qualify

536
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: as Texas residents, right, because you have to be in

537
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: a state for a certain number of days in order

538
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: to qualify, usually to run for office, and also to

539
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: be a member of the state, you know, like a

540
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 1: state citizen. I think they're going to be back in

541
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: a week from the days. I don't you see these

542
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: sad little Instagram posts they put up a like I'm

543
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: eating a salad and fighting for your voting rights. Like

544
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,719
Speaker 1: no one actually thinks these people are are, you know,

545
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: marching across the bridge for civil rights? I mean, that's

546
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: not what's actually happening here. Yeah, and we told you

547
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: exactly what was going to happen, right. I will say.

548
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: One of the things I want to ask the governor

549
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: is could he if they had forecast that they were

550
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: going to try to get on these planes, right, if

551
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: they had been tipped off? Could they have had Texas

552
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 1: officers like standing at the gate of the airport to

553
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: keep them from boarding the plane to leave the state?

554
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but you should ask You should

555
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: ask the governor that I'm sure that they have the

556
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: freedom to leave the state as citizens, but I don't

557
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: think that they have the freedom to continue in their

558
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: jobs as Texas State legislators if they abandoned their posts.

559
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: But I look, we'll find me. Look, Texas, you don't

560
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: mess with it, as you know, you don't mess with it.

561
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: So we got to see what plans the governor has

562
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: in mind here. But this is this was all orchestrated.

563
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: It has given the Democrat aligned media, which is ninety

564
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: five percent of news media, something to fixate on in

565
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: these days. And while I don't see quite the same

566
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: desire as you do, Clay to avoid the budget talk,

567
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: I will say the news about inflation and the economy

568
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: and employment and also the COVID hotspots popping up. This

569
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 1: is not the summer of optimism, recovery and booming growth

570
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: that a lot of people thought it would be. And

571
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: I think Democrats want to avoid people talking or noticing

572
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: that Jimmy Carter two point zero. They want to talk

573
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: about jim Crow two point zero. I think Jimmy Carter

574
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: two point zero is a lot more accurate of an appellation.

575
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: Think about it, Buck, and we'll talk about this as

576
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: we kind of unspooled the Cuba situation and everything else.

577
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: But you've got fleeing out of a country Afghanistan standing

578
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: in for Vietnam. Jimmy Carter, you have got all of

579
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: the all of the chaos right, that is that is

580
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: unspooling with inflation, uh massive high over five percent inflation

581
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,479
Speaker 1: that they keep telling us is going to come back down.

582
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: And look, I hope they're right, because I don't want

583
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 1: inflation to take over off in the country. You have

584
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 1: an impotent executive right that seems to be there only

585
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: because of COVID right, which basically the only reason Jimmy

586
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: Carter got in was Watergate. I think there are an

587
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: awful lot of Jimmy Carter two point zero signs, way

588
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: more than there are Jim Crow. I think that's I

589
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: think that's really unfair to Jimmy Carter, though, Clay, because

590
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: he's definitely smarter than Biden. Definitely smarter than He's definitely smart.

591
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter actually did his homework. I mean, he was

592
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: a liberally, he was ineffective. Fine, you know, he had

593
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 1: a bad presidency. But Joe Biden's like the guy who

594
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: was copying his homework from the dumb kid in the

595
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: class because he couldn't even figure out how to cheat. Well,

596
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: that's who Joe Biden is. Well, if only people ever

597
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: said critical things about Joe Biden. It's amazing Kama or

598
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: his son's paintings, which is I understand it. Some of

599
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: the critics who are the actual art critics, I don't

600
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: mean media critics, who are looking at saying paying five

601
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars for one hundred Biden painting is money laundering. Okay,

602
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: that's if it wasn't the president's son, that's what people

603
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: would call it, because that's clearly what it is. Well,

604
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: let's get let's talk Texas and Cuba in this next

605
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: hour where we got the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott

606
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: will be joining us right at the top zone just

607
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: a few minutes here. Clay and I are gonna make

608
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: sense of it all. Don't worry. We will hold the

609
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: crazy Libs to account. That is how we roll here

610
00:36:44,840 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: on the Clay and Buck Show. You're listening to Clay,

611
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm to send Buck Sexton on the EIB Network
