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 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate all of you hanging out with us as

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: we roll through the Tuesday edition of the program. Much

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: to discuss, but big news that we've been arguing for

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: here on the show since certainly last week, maybe even

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: the week before. The Biden administration, under pressure from a

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: bipartisan coalition of Republicans and Democrats in both the House

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: and the Senate that was demanding it, has officially decided

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: to sanction Russia as it pertains to oil and gas purchases,

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: meaning that we will no longer purchase Russian oil and gas.

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: What that will do to gas prices remains to be

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: seen whether or not, and we talked about this a

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: lot yesterday. We are able to replace that six hundred

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: or so barrels of oil that we were buying a

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: day from Russia, in particular, with either United States domestic

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: oil production increasing or potentially Saudi Arabia Venezuela, Iran. We

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: don't know where that money might be coming from exactly,

19
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: but that was just officially announced, and effectively that was

20
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: Biden trying to get ahead to look like he's making

21
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: that choice as opposed to Congress forcing him to make

22
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: that choice. But it took almost two weeks for those

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: sanctions to officially be put into place and to kind

24
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: of put it into context for you guys, given the

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: fact that we are giving billions of dollars to Ukraine.

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: We were giving billions of dollars of Ukraine to Ukraine

27
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: to fight Russia, while simultaneously giving Russia billions of dollars

28
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: to fight Ukraine. We were effectively funding both sides of

29
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: the Ukraine Russia conflict. This will, in theory, create a

30
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: one sided side, will be on Ukraine's side going forward.

31
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: Now the challenge will be how do we make up

32
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: for the oil and gas that we're not going to

33
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: be getting from Russia. How quickly will the rest of

34
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: Europe follow? Much of Europe it sounds like, is saying, well,

35
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: we can't get to this until the end of the year,

36
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: and one would hope that this battle between Russia and

37
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: Ukraine is over far before then. We have a new

38
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: all time high in the cost of a gallon of

39
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: gas for all of you out there driving around, I

40
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: believe it has now hit an average price nationwide of

41
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: four dollars and seventeen cents. If you heard us talking

42
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: with Trish Regan yesterday, she said possibly the cost of

43
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: gas could be going to nine dollars a gallon, so

44
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: big takeaway here. The question is what will this do

45
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: to the price, I would say, of the average gallon

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: of gas for the average American out there driving around

47
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: filling up his or her car all over the country.

48
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: And we don't know the answer or to that officially,

49
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: because we don't know how much of this gas we're

50
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna be able to source elsewhere. You know, they sneered

51
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: at Trump Clay in twenty nineteen when he said that

52
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: Biden could drive the price of gas up to seven

53
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: dollars a gallon. They were there. That was just Trump

54
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: is so full of it. He doesn't know any you know,

55
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: they all sneered at him. They sneered at Mitt Romney

56
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: when he said that Russia was a geopolitical threat. I

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: just want to note, has a single of the commentariat,

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: the journos, the foreign policy establishment, who were all just laughing,

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: you know, wearing their top hats and their monocles, drinking

60
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: their lattees at the think tanks. They don't actually wear

61
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: top hats, but you get what I'm saying, laughing at

62
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: how foolish Mitt Romney was. Do any of them feel

63
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: at all chastened by the reality of geopolitics and also

64
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: by the reality of electing Joe Biden, who part of

65
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: his pitch we have to remind ourselves was I'm not

66
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna shut down the economy, I'm gonna shut down COVID.

67
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: Remember how many times he repeated, yeah, pitch that was

68
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: the big line. Turns out didn't shut down COVID at all.

69
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: We reached all time high COVID cases while Biden was president,

70
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: and now we've reached an all time high in the

71
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: national average gas price clay. And I'm worried that we

72
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: may reach an all time high in the US inflation

73
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: inflation number, and that we might start seeing unemployment ticking up,

74
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: and we might start seeing the beginnings of a recession.

75
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: And this is where I think everyone has to be.

76
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: We have to be very clear eyed as we look

77
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: at this, because I can tell and as we've said,

78
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: it's getting uglier in Ukraine as it as it was,

79
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: inevitably going to more civilian casualties, more awful things happening.

80
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: People are starting to say, what would Putin really fire

81
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: at us if we had a no fly zone? I mean,

82
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: he wouldn't fire nukes at us? Would he even fire

83
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: at us Jets' you're hearing this talk more out loud.

84
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: That's one thing you have to keep a very close

85
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: eye on here, and the other is okay, everyone thinks

86
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: like Stephen Colbert. Stephen Colbert said that you know, I'll

87
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: pay a dollar so more? Did you see this? Clay

88
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: last night said he pay fifteen dollars a gallon the invasion.

89
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Oil prices have skyrocketed today. The average gas price in

90
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: America hit an all time record high of over four

91
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: dollars per gallon. Okay, that's things, but a clean conscience

92
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: is worth a buck of two. I'm willing to pay.

93
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: It's important. It's important. I'm willing to pay four dollars

94
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: a gallon. Hell, I'll pay fifteen dollars a gallon because

95
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: I drive a Tesla. Stephen Colbert's worth close to one

96
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars for everyone listening to this, So it's

97
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: not a surprise that he takes that position, Clay, But

98
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: I want to know, is is it worth it? If

99
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: there is a recession that means that millions of Americans

100
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: can't pay their bills, that the drug abuse, alcohol abuse,

101
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: and suicide rate goes up noticeably in this country. Is

102
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: that is that worth a clean conscience? As he says,

103
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we really have to look at what the

104
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: possible cost of this will be. This does not give

105
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: a penny take a penny at the local grocery store. Well,

106
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: remember Mayor Pete yesterday said that the solution to people

107
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: who work being struggling with high gas prices was to

108
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: buy an electric vehicle. And I mean we should be

109
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: calling him Mayor Antoinette, because that is very Marie Antoinette

110
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: of him. That your solution to the tens of millions

111
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: of people out there when gas prices go up, that

112
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: represents a massive tax default, tax increase on the average

113
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: American family out there. And when you're talking about four

114
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: dollars and twenty cents a gallon gas and way over that,

115
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: way over five dollars for many people out there, this

116
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: is money that comes out of the overall ability to

117
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: take care of your family. This might be money that

118
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: you don't have the opportunity now to take your kid

119
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: to go to get a pizza, right, You don't have

120
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go out and eat at a restaurant.

121
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: You don't have the opportunity to live the life that

122
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: you would like to be living if gas prices were normal.

123
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: And the more you drive, and again this is significant.

124
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Lots of people don't think about it, but many people

125
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: live substantial distances from where they might have to work

126
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: because they can have more affordable housing further outside of

127
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: the city. So overwhelmingly the cost of gas increases is

128
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: borne by the people who can least afford to bear them.

129
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: And so when you have Mayor Pete saying go buy

130
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: an electric vehicle, or you have Stephen Colbert, patron saint

131
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: of left wingers in comedy, saying I'll pay fifteen dollars

132
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: a gallon gas. Yeah, you're rich, both of you, guys,

133
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: are you have luxuries that others do not. It is

134
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: a level of tone deafness that is remarkable for a

135
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: party that used to define itself by representing the working class.

136
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: You also see something going on in the background, and

137
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: you step back from all this, Clay, we have government

138
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: policy right now that is driving down through treasury spending

139
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: right through through federal government spending driving down the value

140
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: and the purchasing power of the dollar. That's what inflation is,

141
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: that's what's actually happening. So they're making the dollars that

142
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: people work for and have less. Now, if you're you know,

143
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: in Russia they call them oligarchs. You know, here we

144
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: have very successful billionaires. But if you're in that situation

145
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: or worth one hundred million or fifty million dollars, doesn't

146
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: matter to you. But to you know, ninety nine percent,

147
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: maybe ninety five percent of the country something like seven percent,

148
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: inflation matters. But they're driving down, through government policy, the

149
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: value of the dollars that you're earning in in your

150
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: bank account, while simultaneously artificially reducing the supply. And this

151
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: is why the Biden administration, because of their climate change religion,

152
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: doesn't want there to be more drilling, doesn't want there

153
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: to be more fossil fuel production at home, they're driving

154
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: down the supply of what is most necessary for a

155
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: modern economy to function. So through through decision making in DC,

156
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: they're making your dollars worth less, which means that you're

157
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: going to also have and they're making less energy supply

158
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: for everybody which means that everything is getting more expensive

159
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: on both ends. And by the way, you've got a

160
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: supply chain issue, and by the way, you've got market

161
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: based issues that are going to get worse and worse

162
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: as people realize is it even possible for me to

163
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: operate my business this way? Is it even possible for

164
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: me to continue? And this is because of government policy. Yes,

165
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: and Buck, it's going to get really tense for Joe

166
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: Biden as we get closer and closer to twenty twenty two.

167
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: Because you look at and I'm putting them in the

168
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: moderate Democrat camp, Joe Mansion, the senators from Montana, the

169
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: Democratic senators from New Hampshire, Georgia, the people who are

170
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: going to be Nevada, who are going to be in

171
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: really tight re election fights. They are going to be

172
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: desperate to get energy independence. And this is wild to

173
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: think about, But all of Joe Biden's agenda, to the

174
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: extent that he still has an agenda, I think, is

175
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: going to boil down to a large extent, to the

176
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: price of gas and to overall inflation. And Buck, we

177
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: don't know how high this is going to go. I mean,

178
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: I would encourage people I don't want there to be

179
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: a run on gas, but sooner rather than later. The

180
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: dead the way that gas is moving. We talked about

181
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: this yesterday. The price of gas went up forty cents

182
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: in a week last week. It was the second highest

183
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: weekly increase in the history of American gas prices. I

184
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: can't imagine that the numbers are going to be coming

185
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: down in terms of what gas is going to cost

186
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: you a week from now, based on the decisions that

187
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: we are making. And I hope we don't get here.

188
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: But remember and you and I were too young. I don't.

189
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: You weren't even born. You missed the Jimmy Carter era.

190
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: I was born in the last year of the Jimmy

191
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Carter era. But there are a lot of people listening

192
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: to us right now who remember the oil crisis of

193
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter. And the more and more you look at

194
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, I think we owe an apology to

195
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, because Biden is far more incompetent on far

196
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: more different levels than Jimmy Carter ever was. I mean,

197
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: I would in terms of being able to understand complex

198
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: issues and make the right choices. I would rather Jimmy

199
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: Carter in his day. Maybe Jimmy Carter today, even at

200
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: his age, be making decisions than Joe Biden. In fact,

201
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's just an outright disaster where we

202
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: are right now, and I don't see it getting any

203
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: better when it comes to what gas is going to

204
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: be costing the average American app how good to get better?

205
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: Let's think about this, Well, what are they doing that's

206
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: gonna make it better? Tell us to use less energy,

207
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: go get an electric car. These people are imbeciles. Yeah,

208
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: I think the only way it could get better is

209
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: if we got a resolution in Ukraine sooner rather than later,

210
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 1: and then you had an inflated hot I'm at their

211
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: economic policies, yea. Even there's nothing the Biden administration is

212
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: going to be able to do. I don't think that's

213
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: going to make the price of gas better. And that's

214
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: why I feel for everybody out there, because I think

215
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: we're headed towards five dollar gas, six dollar gas, seven

216
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: dollar gas. I think it's almost an inevitable inevitability unless

217
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: the situation in Russia and Russia and Ukraine ends. But

218
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't have any sense that things are getting closer

219
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: to a conclusion here. If anything, it seems like we're

220
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: getting to more of a dangerous era in this conflict.

221
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: Where we talked about this before Buck and we probably

222
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: should talk about it more today. I'm worried that Putin,

223
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: because things are not going well enough for him, is

224
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: going to accelerate what he's willing to do. We're already

225
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: seeing that to a certain extent. But the analogy I

226
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: would use is the guy who loses the fist fight

227
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: sometimes comes back with a bigger weapon, and everybody out

228
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: there who's been in high school or seeing this kind

229
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: of thing happen knife's guns. I feel like at some

230
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: point the fist fight turns into a knife or we're

231
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: about to run into a station and break here clay.

232
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: But the Russian Air Force is either incapable of doing

233
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: complex operations complex stripes, which is possible, or has been

234
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: held back in reserve for the next phase. It's one

235
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: or the other. I want to talk to you guys

236
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: about pure talk. We want you to be able to

237
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 1: save money. You just heard us talking about how much

238
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: the price of gas is going up. It's got people

239
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: looking at the price that they're paying for so many

240
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: different of your weekly and monthly bills, and one of

241
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: those that all of us just about pay cell phone

242
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: What if you could save a ton on your cell

243
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: phone bill by paying fifty or sixty dollars less per

244
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: month might help you deal with the overall increase that's

245
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: going on right now in the price of gas. Well,

246
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna get the same quality with pure Talk that

247
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: you do at AT and T, Verizon, at Mobile. We

248
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: got to talk from We got a note from a

249
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: Pure Talk customer who wrote saying, I finally made the

250
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: change to pure Talk after hearing it advertised on the radio.

251
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: Cut my phone bill in half. Customer service very helpful

252
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: and friendly, and right now you can switch from Verizon,

00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: A T and T and T MO will only pay

254
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: for the service you need and want from pure Talk

255

Speaker 1: while keeping your exact same cell phone if you want

256
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: to in your exact same cell phone number. In fact,

257
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: one of the plants from pure Talk has unlimited talk

258
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: tech six gigs of data for just thirty dollars a month.

259
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: How do you get hooked up right now and save

260
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,400

00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: two five zero say pure talk. Pure Talk is simply

266
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: smarter wireless branning all influence of Russian oil and gas us.

267
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable in

268
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: the US ports and American people will deal another powerful

269
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: mode of foodsfor machine. This is a move that has

270
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: strong Bipundisians. The Congress and I believe in the country

271
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: America's of rallying support have rallied to supports through the

272
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: Ukrainian people and made it clear we will not be

273
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: part of subsidize you putin for can I get a

274
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: whole lot more expensive to philip er tank with gas?

275
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the clan Buck show. That was Biden

276
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: just before we came on air telling the American people

277
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: that now we are banning the import of Russian oil.

278
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: My understanding is that this will not include the EU

279
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: and that they will continue to import Russian oil and gas.

280
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: Russia's biggest export partners for fossil fuels are the EU

281
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: and China, so that hasn't actually changed. So this is

282
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: now going to make gas more expensive for us going

283
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: to hurt our economy, and it is going to do

284
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:55,359
Speaker 1: what exactly for Vladimir Putin. These are all the realities

285
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: of what we face right now. I'd also note that

286
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: while they're talking about this, Biden is also Clay announcing

287
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: when he announced the embargo, he also says, you know,

288
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: what we really need to do is focus on clean

289
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: energy right now. This crisis is a stark reminder to

290
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: protect our economy over the long term, we need to

291
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: become energy independent. I have had numerous conversations over the

292
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: last three months with our European friends of how they

293
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: have to be wean themselves off of US Russian oil.

294
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: It's not it's just not tenable. It should motivate us

295
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: to accelerate the transition of clean energy. This is a

296
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: perspective ex ended our European allies share. I mean, first

297
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: of all, could barely read. I mean, he's it's honestly

298
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: embarrassing that he's president. It's not embarrassing because I disagree

299
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: with that. It's embarrassing that he's not up for this.

300
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: He's too old and the elder abuse. So we can

301
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: start with that. Beyond that, though, Clay, if they're not

302
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: talking nuclear, they are unserious about any transition from fossil fuels.

303
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: I mean, a part of me Bucke at this point

304
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: feels like they want the price of gas to get

305
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: so insanely massive that they can argue we have to

306
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: do away with oil and gas forever, right, I mean,

307
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: is that a crazy hypothesis here that yes, in the

308
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: short term, it will be bad electorally for Democrats in

309
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: the midterm, but if we have eight or nine dollars

310
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: a gallon gas for your average person out there, then

311
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: Biden in twenty twenty four or whoever the Democrat is

312
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: is going to run on the Green New Deal predicated

313
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: on the huge cost of gas, right, which the problem

314
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: with all of this clean energy is it's way more

315
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: expensive than oil and gas, right, And so a higher

316
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 1: cost of oil and gas in some way serves as

317
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: a legitimizing factor for the idea of the Green New Deal.

318
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: I assumed Clay that Democrats would make decisions for which

319
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: they were trade offs that would make me say, I

320
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: still disagree with what they did, but I will admit

321
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: that this is a little bit better, or this is

322
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: a little bit improved. Everything is worse. Joe Biden has

323
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: made everything. It's remarkable. It is about touch, it's absolutely absurd.

324
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: Online identity theft is one of the big silent crimes

325
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: out there. When it happens, you're not immediately aware. Some

326
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: cyber hacker gets a hold of your identity and uses it.

327
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: And look, this can happen all the time when you're online.

328
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 1: It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are

329
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: affecting our lives. Every day. We put our information at

330
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: risk on the Internet, and a cyber criminal can steal

331
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: it in an instant that can harm your finances, your credit,

332
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: even your reputation. That's why you need LifeLock. I've been

343
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: show unbelievable poll numbers that came out from Quinnipiac dealing

344
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: with how Americans would respond in the event that we

345
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: were invaded, as Ukraine has been invaded, and I tweeted

346
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: about this, I saw you tweet about it, two buck,

347
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: but I bet a lot of our audience has not

348
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: heard this. So what percentage, again, this is a Ukraine

349
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: like situation in the United States, what percentage of a

350
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: Democrat would stay and fight versus the percentage that would

351
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: leave the country if we were invaded like Ukraine is

352
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: being invaded. Just forty percent of Democrats said they would

353
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: stay and fight, fifty two percent said they would leave

354
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: the country. That compared with sixty eight percent of republic

355
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: Aikins who said they would stay in fight, twenty five

356
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: percent who said they would leave the country independence, fifty

357
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: seven percent said they would stay in fight, thirty six

358
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: percent said they would leave the country. So the idea

359
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: out there. And by the way, for women, forty percent

360
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: of American women said they would stay in fight seventy

361
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: percent of men, So there is not surprisingly a male

362
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: versus female difference in whether people would leave. As you

363
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: are seeing in Ukraine, many women and children are leaving

364
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: the country. So this is alarming in many ways as

365
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: you break down the overall data. But what's even more

366
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: alarming than this data buck is age ranges. The younger

367
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: you are eighteen to thirty four year olds, which are

368
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 1: typically the foundation of any military force, only forty five

369
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: percent of eighteen to thirty four year olds would stay

370
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: in fight versus forty eight percent who said they would

371
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: leave the country. Now, substantial majorities of thirty five to

372
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: forty nine year olds, of fifty to sixty four year

373
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: olds said they would stay in fight. Even senior citizens

374
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: were more likely to stay in fight than eighteen to

375
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: thirty four year olds. This confirms, I think what many

376
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: of us would believe, which is the younger and more

377
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: liberal you are, the less you're willing to fight for America.

378
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: But it's still pretty staggering to see these numbers actually

379
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: out in the public arena here and again, remember it's

380
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: if we're invaded. This is not what you go overseas

381
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: and fight. This is if someone came to our shores.

382
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: The majority of Democrats would flee the country. Wait a minute, Clay,

383
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: you're talking. You're talking about a majority of Democrat commies

384
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: who double masked at home while watching MSNBC and CNN

385
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,719
Speaker 1: and rage tweeting about how racist the country is all

386
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: the time. They wouldn't stay and fight. They actually are

387
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 1: are cowards when pushed on the issue of whether they

388
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: would defend their hometown, their homeland. I mean, just put this,

389
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: juxtapose it, because obviously there are I mean, we have

390
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people who have fought in multiple wars,

391
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: including those in their twenties and thirties right now. There

392
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: are people out there who feel very differently. We meant

393
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: to play this. Yesterday, this was twenty seven year old

394
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: mix small martial artist and UFC fighter Bryce Mitchell on

395
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: how he feels he was asked about Ukraine and this

396
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: answer went viral. Just why don't he get your thoughts

397
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: on the whole Russia and Ukraine's situation. Here's my first

398
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: start is I'm not going nowhere to fight none of

399
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: these wars for these politicians. I'm staying at home, and

400
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: when the war comes to Arkansas, I will dig my

401
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: boots in the ground and I will die for everything

402
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: I love, and I will not retreat. If this country's

403
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: invaded and everybody's saying, well, we gotta evacuate, we gotta leave,

404
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: I will not. I will dig my boots in the

405
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: ark and Saw soil, and I will fight for the

406
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: people that I love, for the land that I love,

407
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: in the way of life that I love. But I'm

408
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: not going overseas to fight. I don't know what's going on,

409
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: to be honest, brother, I really don't. There's so much stuff,

410
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: and I don't think nobody knows what's going on. Fooling

411
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: the two levels here. We can get into the going

412
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: to Ukraine or not issue, but just the sentiment of

413
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: if the war came to America, I would dig my

414
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: heels into Arkansas soil and fight to the death for

415
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: everything I love. By the way, I've zero doubt that

416
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: Bryce Mitchell would in fact do that. And we think

417
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: that that's the America that we all know, love and share.

418
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: But there is a there is a real portion on

419
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: the political left in this country who actually kind of

420
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: hate America and it's not the America they wanted to be.

421
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: And so if push came to shove, you know, maybe

422
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: some totalitarian dictatorship from abroad would be better on issues

423
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: of you know, the rights of minorities or the trade

424
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: agenda or whatever. Anything would be better than the evil,

425
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: racist country that currently is. According to the left, that's

426
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: what they actually think. Yeah, and I think we need

427
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: to be clear here too. By the way, incredible comments

428
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: from Bryce Mitchell. I mean, the UFC. If you're one

429
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: of those people out there that is of the opinion

430
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: that you sport professional athletes have lost your trust over

431
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: the way that they've responded to a variety of different

432
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: political issues over the years, the UFC guys and girls are.

433
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: I mean, it's hard not to like them. It really

434
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: is when you hear, first of all, they're putting everything

435
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: on the line when they step into those octagons, right,

436
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: But when you hear the way that they think the

437
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: raw individual power while combined with love of country from

438
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: so many of them, they're anti cancel culture. I love

439
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: everything about most of these guys now and girls. I

440
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: do think what is alarming is we're aging out of

441
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: people who are true patriots, right. I mean, you can

442
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: talk about Democrats versus Republicans, but I'm even more scared

443
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: because it doesn't surprise me that Democrats are basically, you know,

444
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: total complete vosses. And that's not the word that I

445
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: want to use. But when you have the majority of

446
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: eighteen to thirty four year olds in this country, Buck,

447
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: that would not stay and fight if the country was invaded,

448
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: typically the eighteen to thirty four year old population, and

449
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: let's be honest, the eighteen to thirty four year old

450
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: male population, because I'll give a pass here for women

451
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: and children. Remember what they're doing in Ukraine. I love

452
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: the rule they put in place in Ukraine. If you're

453
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: male between the ages of eighteen and sixty, you can't

454
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: leave that country. I love that. I'd want my wife

455
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: and kids out of here. But the idea that eighteen

456
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: to thirty four year olds, the people who are the youngest,

457
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: the healthiest, and the most capable of fighting in a war,

458
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: are willing to abandon the country more than senior citizens are. Buck.

459
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: There are people over sixty five who are far more

460
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: likely to take up arms to defend in the country

461
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: than there are eighteen year olds. That's everything that's wrong

462
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: with America today, and it's scary for where we're going

463
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: in the years ahead. I mean, yeah, there was a

464
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: bulge of in the polling for the younger younger age

465
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: group that said they would they would leave the country,

466
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: clay A majority overall of Democrats, Yeah, said a majority.

467
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean for me, that was the eighteen to thirty

468
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: four Yeah. I mean that's because they're there. That's the

469
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: greatest concentration of the furthest left ideology within the debt.

470
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: I don't have afraid, you know, but that as they

471
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: get older and they pay taxes, and you know, this

472
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: is what this is what always happens. I don't think

473
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: we're aging out necessarily a patriotism. It's young, naive people

474
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: who have been brainwashed by the academy in Hollywood. So

475
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: this is where you're more optimistic than me. My concern

476
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: is these people are going to become awful human being

477
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: leftist as they get older because of the way they've

478
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: been in doct A lot of them will stay that way.

479
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: But but I mean there's also what's really eighteen to

480
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: thirty four versus thirty four to fifty five. What's really

481
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 1: the difference, Clayman, How in this poll do we have

482
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: the percentages? Yes, I mean wildly different. Let me look

483
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: at it, because that's what jumps out of me. Yes,

484
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: the Democrat angle is crazy. Only forty five percent of

485
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: eighteen to thirty fours would stay and fight. Fifty seven

486
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: percent of those eight five to forty nine. That's that's

487
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: not that better, that's not that much. Well, that's fifty

488
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: seven to thirty seven as opposed to forty five to

489
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: forty eight. It's a twenty point margin to stay in

490
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: fight over a negative three point margin to stay in fight.

491
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: Usually where I'm sitting looking at is usually eighteen year olds.

492
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: Like who gets in fist fights eighteen year olds? Right?

493
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: The younger you are usually the more prone, hot headed,

494
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: especially if you're male, to be willing to fight right.

495
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: And so the fact that we've ended up there and

496
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: then other one that jumps out is the sixty five plus.

497
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we got a lot of senior citizens who'd

498
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: be more likely to take up barns to defend America

499
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: than eighteen year olds. All seniors, you know, they've seen more,

500
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: they know more, they understand. You know, you have Bernie

501
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: Sanders is kind of an exception. You have fewer seniors

502
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: in this country, definitely, I mean even talking just when

503
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party, who are absurd comedies basically yes, I

504
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: mean Bernie Sanders is a caricature of absurdity in so

505
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: many ways, But you have fewer people that have lived

506
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: through life and actually experienced things eighteen. There are eighteen

507
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: year olds or twenty two ye olds. Look you see

508
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: them at college campuses now all the time, and it's

509
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: been going on for years this way. They think America

510
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 1: is an evil, imperialist, colonialist, racist place, and that's why

511
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: they're effectively being brainwashed into acting like little revolutionaries who

512
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: want to either control the system as it is now

513
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: to stamp out all dissent that do you see this

514
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: at the big tech and everywhere else, or create a

515
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: cultural revolution of sorts, something like what they had in

516
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: China under MAO, to purge all undesirable elements from our

517
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: culture because it's imperialist and racist and sexist and transphobic

518
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. See that. My concern is when

519
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: I was eighteen, I was not around very many people

520
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: who thought America was a bad place, like I think

521
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: when I was eighteen most people who are malet party light. Yeah,

522
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: And that's my concern that we've got now this generation

523
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: that truly does believe that America is a voice for

524
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: evil as opposed to greatness, and that's scary because I

525
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: wonder whether those people are going to age out of

526
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: it or not. When we come back, we will break

527
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: down more surrounding the Ukraine battle and the latest on

528
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: the battle for energy independence in America. But first, Mike Lindell.

553
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: Eight hundred two eight two two eight eight two. I

554
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: mentioned this yesterday Kamala Harris, who is still relied upon

555
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: at some level even time you mentioned her name. I

556
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: just straight face Kablo, I mentioned this. I mentioned this

557
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: to you when we're talking about COVID. We're gonna get

558
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: into COVID situation here in a few moments, including the

559
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: fight to get children in New York City unmasked. They're

560
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: still masking kids here, folks, Little kids, a little three

561
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: year old in school have to be mad. No one

562
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: else has to be masked up. You walk around no

563
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: masks on unless you're on a plane, because that makes

564
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: sense and we're going to dive into some of this

565
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: stupidity and all that in a moment. But we had

566
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: mentioned that the greatest all time Kamala line on the

567
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: show yesterday and we got our clips, our wires crossed.

568
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: Here here's Kamala Harris. At what point does the administration saying,

569
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: you know what, the strategy is all working, We're gonna

570
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: change strategies. Is it time it is time for us

571
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: to do what we have been doing in that time

572
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: is every day, every day. It is time for us

573
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: to agree that there are are things and tools that

574
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: are available to us to slow this thing down. So, Claire,

575
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: I know in law school it's a big thing. They

576
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: did it in some of my political science class too.

577
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: It was always something of a sport to watch the

578
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: kid because like you could have just you could just

579
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: take the heat right away when the professor calls on

580
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: you and you didn't read a single word of the reading.

581
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: You maybe you didn't even know what the reading was,

582
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: or you could be the kid in the class, you know,

583
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: who says, well that one is something that really requires

584
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: a student observation and in depth. You know, you start

585
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: trying to back into just throwing words together. When kamalas

586
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: speaking about COVID policy, it reminds me of that. When

587
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: she's talking about diplomacy, it reminds me of that. And

588
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: here is SNL. Even SNL is actually mocking Kamala Harris

589
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: as well. Maybe the members of Congress attending the State

590
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: of the Union wore blue and yellow to show their

591
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: support for Ukraine, while Kamala Harris wore all brown to

592
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: do what she's done for the last year, disappeared into

593
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: the background. You could tell. You could tell the SNL

594
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: crowd was, hey, hold on a second, they weren't. But

595
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: Kamala has not been an effective VP, even by our

596
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: very low standards of what vice presidents are generally supposed

597
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: to do. And I think this is a big problem.

598
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: We might even get into some of the Hillary Clinton

599
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: talk that's been rising up again in the background. I that,

600
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: first of all, when SNL suddenly starts to satirize democratic administrations,

601
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: you know things are going really bad. And the react.

602
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: I love the reaction from that crowd because they're like,

603
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: oh my god, are we even allowed to make fun

604
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: of how bad Kamala Harris has been. That was sort

605
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: of the intake of breath before you heard the laughter,

606
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: which is a perfect sign that the satire is hitting

607
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: its spot. And also by the way that the protected

608
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: class and for a long time, do you remember buck

609
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,239
Speaker 1: in the first year of the Biden administration when they

610
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: were saying, you know, it's really really hard to make

611
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: fun of Joe Biden. He's just not a very satirizable

612
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: he's making up a ward there as satire doesn't really

613
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: work on him because he's just and everybody who was

614
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: like had a like this guy can't even walk up

615
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: the stairs. I mean, he wears a mask bigger than

616
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: his forehead. You're telling me there's not a hen. He

617
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: can't read off a teleprompter. You're telling me there's not

618
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: fertile ground for mocking Joe Biden. And now the gloves

619
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: have kind of come off and they're finally starting to

620
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: weigh in some punches on ridiculing. Think about how much,

621
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: I mean, how much the media in general really made

622
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: fun of look all politicians. Politicians are kind of fair

623
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: game for a lot of stuff that you know, everyday citizens,

624
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: it would be it would be uncouth and rude, you know,

625
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 1: including making fun of their appearance at some level, though

626
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: I generally just I don't like, you know, appearance commentary period.

627
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: I try not to do whatever, and I think that

628
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: people shouldn't do it. But I mean they were, Oh

629
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: Trump was orange and Orange man bad and Trump is

630
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: obees and you know, all this stuff all the time.

631
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: There was I think cover on The Atlantic that showed

632
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: him like was he like naked or something. Mean, the

633
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: whole thing is completely insane in terms of all that.

634
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Biden, I've never seen a person squint

635
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: so much before in my life. And people that do

636
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: impersonations of him will actually do that. But let us

637
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: on SNL. They to your point, they can't even think

638
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: of ways to mimic his personal traits and mimic his

639
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 1: I mean, because they refuse to do anything but be

640
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: handmaidens to those in power. I mean, SNL is a

641
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: propaganda program. Unfortunately, it used to be comedy back in

642
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: the Mike Myers, Dana Carvey and before that days it

643
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: used to be and everybody, by the way, those of

644
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: us who are old enough to remember watching Johnny Carson

645
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: or David Letterman or Jay Leno, everybody was equal parts

646
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: fodder for comedy. You could watch an opening monologue of

647
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: David Letterman and in the Bill Clinton years, I mean,

648
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: you talk about somebody whose appearance got made fun of,

649
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: talking somebody whose personal life got made fun of. And

650
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: obviously he left a lot of opportunity there with the

651
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: Monica Lewinsky mess and so many other scandals that surrounded him.

652
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: But even if you were a Democrat watching David Letterman,

653
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: Johnny Carson or Jay Leno, they went after Bill Clinton,

654
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: and the same thing, by the way, happened with George W. Bush,

655
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: and there was an even handedness to the ridicule whether

656
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: you were Ronald Reagan or whether you were Bill Clinton.

657
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: And then things changed, and now we basically have to

658
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: your point, Buck, the late night programs have become propaganda networks.

659
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: They exist primarily to uplift Democratic Party and Democratic politicians.

660
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: Speaking of propaganda, there's still a lot of it around

661
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: issues of COVID, including the masking of children in New

662
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: York City. Talk about how that's going here with the

663
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: new mayor. And also they're lying to you about the

664
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: Don't Say Gay bill. That's not what the bill is called.

665
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what's actually going on coming up
