1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 2: Welcome in everybody. Friday edition of The Clay An Buck 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 2: Show begins right now. I cannot believe we're into August already, 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 2: but here we are much to discuss with you. Our 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 2: main man, Clay on a much deserved vacation with his family. 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 2: I think he's in eastern Tennessee. He's, you know, enjoying 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: time out there, chasing some black bears around, probably drinckets, 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,319 Speaker 2: some good bourbon, all that good stuff. So yeah, he's 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 2: having fun out there in Tennessee out the woods. Oh, 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: he's at Dollywood today. I thought he was doing like 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: a hike, you know, so he was going to see 13 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 2: badgers and bears and wolves. Oh my, but he's actually 14 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: at Dollywood today. So anyway, Clay will be back with 15 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: us on Monday. They have bourbon at Dollywood though, so 16 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: at least part of my guest was correct, I assume, right. 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: So we've got, like I said, a lot of things 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 2: to get into. Also, we didn't really take a lot 19 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: of calls yesterday. All I got so fired up talking 20 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: about the betrayal of the American people by the elites 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: and that New York Times off d like I said, 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: cross posted the main story for hours on Fox News 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 2: really resonated because people were just saying, yeah, that's right. 24 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: There is this belief that if they can just defeat Trump, 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: they'll defeat what Trump has come to represent for so 26 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: many people. And that's not going away. It hasn't been addressed. 27 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 2: In fact, if anything, it has been made a more 28 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: urgent need in the minds of many people to address 29 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: deficiencies and imbalances in the system as it exists in 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: order to benefit the elites under the pretense that they're 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: so somehow, so special and exceptional. We'll get into some 32 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: of that. I mean Trump obviously, after the indictment yesterday, 33 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: indictment number three four could be right around the corner 34 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: here with Atlanta point, I just wonder, why, you know, 35 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 2: somebody else, some other ambitious left wing maybe even Soros 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: back prosecutor somewhere, why not just throw an indictment number five. 37 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: Trump's attitude at this point is effectively that he's like, well, 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 2: you know, one more indictment, I'm gonna be president for sure, 39 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: because everyone is seeing how crazy this is, how absurd 40 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: it all is, what better way could we The American 41 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: people have a referendum on all things Trump twenty twenty, 42 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: the four years leading up to it, which you can 43 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: go back and check. When I was doing solo radio 44 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen, I would sometimes people say, stop, you 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 2: sound like you know, you're euphoric. I would just tell 46 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: them height to the Trump presidency, that's economy was booming, 47 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: we were at peace, the terrorist had been defeated. I mean, 48 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 2: you know, I would say, enjoy this, it's not gonna last. 49 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: Come on radio and say this is about as good 50 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: as it gets from the perspective of politics and the 51 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: position of America. And then of course we got here 52 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: with the pandemic and the BLM riots and you know, pandemonium, right, 53 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: it's a lesson there too. Things can change very quickly. 54 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: I don't know what the Democrats have in store for 55 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 2: us next year. I don't believe for one second they're 56 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: just gonna, yeah, we're just gonna trot Biden out and 57 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: see how it goes, and trot will we'll Biden out. 58 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: But Trump says he's being persecuted. That's not a surprise 59 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: at all. After what happened yesterday. I pleaded not guilty. 60 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: That happened right after we finished the show here. Sixty 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: nine percent of Republicans I saw this believe Biden's twenty 62 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: twenty win was illegitimate, which is just interesting to see 63 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: that more and more people are connected. So the media 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: won't do this for you. I want to get into 65 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: why it makes sense that even more people would find 66 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: it illegitimate. Right, Well, we can talk about that. Eric 67 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: Adams in New York City, you know, as a pretty 68 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: much lifelong New Yorker until now, he is eyeing three 69 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: thousand sites for those migrants, including including the possibility of 70 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: putting some of them, they're saying in somewhere in Central Park, 71 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: So turning Central Park into an illegal alien migrant camp 72 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: at least part of it somewhere that is being discussed 73 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: now in New York City. And then I've also got 74 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: some other interesting stories. Just I'll get to them if 75 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: we can, if we have time, because they're gonna be 76 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: busy today. Columbia Law School, you know, after the Supreme 77 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: Court decision, what do you think Columbia Law School did 78 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 2: when they found out they couldn't discriminate on the basis 79 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: of race anymore. Oh, you're gonna want to hear it. 80 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: They've already reversed it, you're gonna want to hear it. 81 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: But behind all of the political discussions we have these 82 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: days on this show and going on across the country, 83 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 2: there is a question that keeps coming up, and it's 84 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: something you know, Clay and I see this one a 85 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: little bit differently, And so far as I think there's 86 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: still a belief that Iden is the Democrats guy, Clay 87 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: thinks it's just not it's not gonna happen for him. 88 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: Is too decred I mean, we agree on how decrepit 89 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: and corrupt and absurd it is. But I think the 90 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: Democrat machinery still believes that Joe Biden is their guy. 91 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 2: Clay and many others. You know, we've had Uncle Bill, 92 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly on the show. We've had I've seen Tucker 93 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 2: saying the same thing. They think it'll be Gavin Newsom 94 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: and others. Okay, well, I think the analysis of why 95 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 2: one would believe it's even possible Joe Biden could be 96 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: the nominee is worth doing right now or run for 97 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: reelection right now? He is the nominee run for re 98 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: election for the Democrats. There is a piece that came 99 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: out earlier this week by David Samuels, and I'll put 100 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: we'll put this up. Just give us a couple of 101 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: minutes to put it up there at Clayandbuck dot com 102 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: so you can see it. It's called The Obama Factor, 103 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: and it is a it's a piece, but it also 104 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 2: has a Q and A with historian David Garro. And 105 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: Garo wrote the most thorough biography of Obama came out 106 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen. You did like hundreds and hundreds of 107 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 2: interviews every he actually tracked down and spoke to at length. 108 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: Obama's most serious girlfriend when he was I think in 109 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 2: law school age in his twenties, and not surprising to 110 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: any of you, I'm sure, but there are many things 111 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: in Obama's autobiographies, two autobiographies. I always said, if you're 112 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 2: not even fifteen, you've written two autobiographies, the chance of 113 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: you being a narcissist is definitely one hundred percent, Right, 114 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: But put that aside, and how much of either one 115 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: of those did he actually write versus someone else? 116 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: Right? 117 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: And he puts his name on, But there are just 118 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 2: straight up fabrications in his autobiography. I know that's not 119 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: new in the beginning of the Tablet magazine piece, he 120 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: talks about how the breakup that Obama had with his 121 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: very at the time, very serious girlfriend, it comes from 122 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: Obama being unwilling to decry clear anti semitism from some 123 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: of the black leadership in Chicago at the time and 124 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: his girlfriend being very Obama lied about this and said 125 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: it was something else, something self serving. But that's not 126 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: according to this historian, that is not, in fact what happened. 127 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: But there's something even more interesting that I wanted to 128 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 2: get to, and it is who's really running this White House? 129 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: Who is really when I say calling the shots? There's 130 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: a whole bureaucracy, there's a whole machinery of the White House. 131 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: I was in the White House briefing for the CIA 132 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 2: when I was a kid in my twenties, went back, 133 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: have been backed numerous times later on as a radio 134 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: host whatever. I am now a person with opinion and thoughts. 135 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: So I've been there in two very different contexts. And 136 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 2: there's a lot of staff and all the stuff that 137 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,239 Speaker 2: you think the West wing is buzzing, and that's all true, 138 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: But who's making the critical strategic decisions in this White House? 139 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: I think some of You see where I'm going with this. 140 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: No one believes it's Joe Biden. But Joe Biden's perfect 141 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: because he has no political core. He just wanted to 142 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: keep collecting, you know, collecting the government checks as a 143 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: senator and being treated as someone who's really important, and 144 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: then allowing his son and his brother to go around 145 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: and sell influence. Like Joe Biden, It's all just transactional. 146 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's ideology is whatever helps me pay the mortgage 147 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 2: on the beach house. He doesn't care. That's who he's 148 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: been his whole life, an empty suit, but a perfect 149 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: person for this job right now, to be the Democrat 150 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 2: trojan horse in this White House to give far left 151 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: wing policies if anyone wants to wide open border, worst 152 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 2: border we've ever seen happening under Joe Biden. Mister moderate 153 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 2: Delaware Democrat, roll up the sleeves right, chew to work 154 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: with Joe. Man. He's a Union Democrat. He's reasonable, right, 155 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: all that stuff, good old Joe. Look at his grin, 156 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: irish charm lies. I shouldn't say lot misrepresentations, fabrications. But 157 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 2: in this piece, which is an amazing read, and there 158 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: are some really powerful revelations that appear in it, which 159 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: I will get into some of them. I want to 160 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: spend some time with you on this today, and I 161 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: think this is important. Remember, the piece is the Obama. 162 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: It starts with the Obama factor, right, that is the title. 163 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: Here's something that's interesting. I'm just going to put this 164 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: out there. I think this will get the conversation going. 165 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: Who runs this White House? Who makes the final determination 166 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: about what policies are going to be pursued, what decisions 167 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: from the very topic? Does anyone really think it's Joe Biden. 168 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 2: I don't think it's Joe Biden. I think there's got 169 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 2: to be some advisor around him. Clay doesn't think it's 170 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: Joe Biden, but he thinks it's so obviously can't be 171 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: Joe Biden at this point, They've got to stick somebody 172 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: else in there. Maybe we'll see, but we all agree 173 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: that the faculties to make those high level decisions aren't there, 174 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: nor is the ideological foundation. Joe doesn't care what is 175 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: easiest and best for Joe in the moment, that's what 176 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 2: he'll do. So who is calling the shots? Well, here 177 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 2: is Samuel's writing about what happened here between July fourth 178 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 2: and Labor Day, sure, but the rest of the year, 179 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: Barack Obama lives in a large brick mansion in Colorama. 180 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: Colorama is a very fancy area of DC. Big mansions there, 181 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: close to the White House. Okay, quote, doesn't it strike 182 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: you as weird? This is him asking the Obama biographer. 183 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: Doesn't it strike you as weird that an ex president, 184 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: he's comparatively young, and he's living in the center of Washington, DC. 185 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 2: The original excuse was that Sasha had to finish school. 186 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: Then you could say, well, the opposition to Trump needs 187 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: a figure to rally around. But now Sasha has graduated 188 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 2: from USC, Trump is gone, Joe Biden was elected president, 189 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: but Obama is still there. Huh isn't that interesting? He 190 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: asks him a follow up question. Remember this is Samuel's 191 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: asking Garrow the biographer. Doesn't it strike you as odd? 192 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I've heard from more than one source that 193 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: there are regular meetings at Obama's house in Colorama, involving 194 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: top figures in the current White House, with secret service 195 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 2: and cars outside. I don't write about it because it's 196 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: not my lane. There are over one thousand reporters in Washington, 197 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: and yet there are zero stakeouts of Obama's mansion, if 198 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 2: only to tell us who is coming and going. But 199 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 2: clearly he clearly has his ore. In end quote, you know, 200 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 2: I gotta tell you I thought this in the back 201 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: of my mind all along. But there's so much there's so 202 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: much media smoke screen around this. Oh Obama's in Hawaii. 203 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 2: Oh Obama's in Martha's vin You'll hear about the Martha's 204 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 2: Vineyard mansion all the twelve less. I mean, right now 205 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: you're hearing about it. Someone drowned and police are not 206 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: answering all the questions. There's something strange. People are wondering, well, 207 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 2: why can't we just get all the answers there? Put 208 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 2: that aside for a second. You hear about Hawaii, You'll 209 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 2: hear about the Netflix deals and the tens of millions 210 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: of dollars the Obamas are being paid just to be 211 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: the Obama's right, I mean, just just cauz. But do 212 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: you hear about the high level White House staff coming 213 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: and going from Colorama Like Colorama? Uh, maybe with traffic 214 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: is a ten minute drive, but it's probably on a 215 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: on a DC day. I've lived in d C, so 216 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 2: I know this route. They get there seven minutes. If 217 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: your secret service detail takes you there, you'll get there 218 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 2: in five. Right. He chose to live right down the 219 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 2: street from Obama's from Chicago. Actually he's from from Hawaii. 220 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: Before that lived Indonesia. I can't cover all this ground 221 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: right now, Okay, I don't want to get distracted from 222 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: the key point here. I mean, fuck, wait, there's more 223 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: I know. But Obama's a guy who's who's who's He's 224 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: a Hawaii guy. I'm talking about, you know, by by state, 225 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: Hawaii guys, Chicago guys. Got the vineyard place. He buys 226 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: a giant mansion right in the middle of Washington, d C. DC. 227 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 2: Why there are people coming and going senior figures from 228 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 2: the White House on a regular basis. People here whispers, 229 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: but it won't be reported on the front page of 230 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: Washington Post. Why Hmm? It is curious, isn't it. And 231 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: I saw this, I said, you know, I had always 232 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: thought that it would just be a function of Obama 233 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: could call Obama can speak to to Biden on the 234 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: key issues on the top level. Joe, what should we 235 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: be meaning the Democrats accomplishing? What should the hard left 236 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 2: in this country be looking for? Next from us and 237 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: now it doesn't even have to be from Obama directly 238 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: to Biden. It can be from a an intermediary, It 239 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 2: can be from a messenger right a go between. That's happening, 240 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: And isn't it a When was the last time you 241 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 2: heard about this? This is fact and there's other stuff 242 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 2: in this piece that this biographer pulled together about Obama. 243 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: The biography came out in twenty sixteen. I think this 244 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: is fascinating. Well, I'll put it up at Clayenbock dot 245 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: com so you can read the whole piece. But it 246 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: begins to answer the question, how could they think that 247 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's Oh, it's already up. It's up at clambuck 248 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 2: dot com. That got it up, Thank you team. How 249 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: could Joe Biden be president for four more years? The 250 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 2: answer that this presents you with is he hasn't really 251 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 2: been president the last three years, not when it comes 252 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 2: to high level decision making, not when it comes to 253 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: the choices that really count. It is the apparatus around him. 254 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: It is the third term of the Obama administration. Oh, 255 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 2: doesn't at all make sense? Eight hundred two two two 256 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: eight A two. We'll get back into this in a moment. 257 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 2: Men share a collective problem when it comes to energy 258 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: and stamina. As we get older, we have less of. 259 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: Both might not show up in one dramatic shift, but 260 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 2: it shows up over time in a gradual way. It's 261 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: directly correlated to the amount of testosterone our bodies are producing. 262 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 2: Testosterone is the fuel for our energy levels. The more 263 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 2: testosterone we met have, the more energy and stamina we feel, 264 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: and also focus and drive as well. This correlation is 265 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: what fascinated are friends at Chalk to come up with 266 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 2: the most amazing natural supplement company out there producing best 267 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: in class products.

It's 281 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: up at clanbuck dot com. Who's really running this White House? 282 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: Not Joe Biden. We've known that all along. We've asked 283 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 2: the question who, and you start to piece things together 284 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 2: and it becomes increasingly clear that there are individuals tied 285 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 2: to the Obama administration that are in the Biden White 286 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 2: House holdovers from the Obama administration, but that Barack Obama 287 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 2: himself and his top lieutenants, if you will, are still 288 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 2: very much in the White House orbit, very much in Washington, DC, 289 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 2: in the center of the swamp itself. So something's going on. 290 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: I on to return to that in a moment. First 291 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: up here, Trump was indicted for the third time criminally yesterday. 292 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: I do like to remind everybody you know, you can 293 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 2: Okham's razor. This thing. Trump had gone seventy six years, 294 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 2: seventy seven years. I was Trump seventy six or seventy 295 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 2: seven now of his life, never once being criminally indicted. 296 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: But he runs for president again, and it's going to 297 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 2: be four count them, four criminal indictments when all said 298 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 2: and done, all happening during the election, Gonda happened before? No, No, 299 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 2: does anyone want to try to do a probability analysis 300 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 2: on that? For me, what are the chances of that? 301 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 2: What's more likely Trump became a criminal in his late 302 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,159 Speaker 2: seventies or Democrats are completely out of their minds, emotionally 303 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 2: destabilized and will do anything for power. I think those 304 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 2: are pretty clear choices here. He is telling here, he 305 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 2: is telling everybody that this is no surprise. Is Trump 306 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 2: on the tarmac a persecution and this is all politics 307 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 2: play for. 308 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 3: This is a very. 309 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 2: Sad day for America. 310 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 3: And it was also very sad driving through washing in 311 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 3: DC and seeing the filth and the decay and all 312 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 3: of the broken buildings and walls and the graffiti. This 313 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 3: is not the place that I left. It's a very 314 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 3: sad thing to see it when you look at what's happening. 315 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 3: This is a persecution of a political opponent. This was 316 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 3: never supposed to happen in America. This is the persecution 317 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: of the person that's leading by very, very substantial numbers 318 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 3: in the Republican primary and leading Biden by a lot. 319 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 3: So if you can't feed him, you persecute him, or 320 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 3: you prosecute him. We can't let this happen in America, 321 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 3: thank you very much. 322 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 2: He's going to fight this all the way to the end, 323 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 2: the Biden regime, and I think it's going to use 324 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 2: that term because it is not a normal White House, 325 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 2: as we all understand. There are influences in it that 326 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: are not often disclosed, not talked about by the media. Again, 327 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 2: the quote the Obama factor a big part of all 328 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 2: of this. And as I was talking about this in 329 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: the first hour, the team, our team here on the 330 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 2: show reminded me that's right, because I remember hearing it too. 331 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: Rush Rush himself told us that this was the way 332 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 2: things would unfold, told us that there would be a 333 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 2: shadow government. Now we don't usually play clips of anything 334 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 2: that are this long, but I wanted you to hear 335 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 2: in detail. This was in twenty seventeen. Rush was laying 336 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: out during the Trump presidency, right am, I right about 337 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: the year, guys, twenty seventeen. In twenty seventeen, so remember 338 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 2: Trump was president then, but he knew what was coming. 339 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: And I've talked to you first hour we're putting all 340 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 2: the pieces together here, right, We're making it. We're making 341 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 2: it all make sense. Vs. February fifteenth, twenty seventeen, The 342 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 2: one and only rush on Obama's coming shadow governance. 343 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 4: The media has thrown in with the Barack Obama shadow 344 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 4: government and the Barack Obama administration, and the media is 345 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 4: objective now has nothing to do with informing you. They're 346 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 4: objective now. I mean they want you to be misinformed. 347 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 4: I mean they are still reporting fake news, made up news. 348 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 4: They are lying about things, hoping to make it easier 349 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 4: for them and the Obama shadow government to eventually get 350 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 4: rid of Trump and everybody. 351 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 2: In his administration. 352 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 4: Now, they ultimately eventually will need public support for this because, 353 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 4: as I say, the Democrats do not have the votes 354 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 4: to say impeach to convict Donald Trump. But that's not 355 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 4: where they're focused. They're focused on things like Flynn resigning 356 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 4: and then other scalps coming along, and the media no 357 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 4: longer is in the arena of ideas. Forget that. The 358 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 4: media has thrown in with the Barack Obama shadow government. 359 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 5: Now. 360 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 4: The thing that is propelling this assault on Trump is 361 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 4: a story that even the people reporting it admit there's 362 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 4: no evidence for There is one thing, and I'm just 363 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: trying to simplify this for you. There is one thing 364 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 4: that keeps propelling this story forward, and it is that 365 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 4: the Russians stole the election for Trump by hacking the 366 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 4: Democrat National Committee and its servers and John Podesta's email. 367 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 2: No evidence. 368 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 4: In fact, you can state with ontological certitude that the 369 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 4: Russians had no impact whatsoever on the outcome of the election. 370 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 2: It wouldn't have been possible. 371 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 4: But even if you want to, if you want to 372 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 4: live that lie and say that they did, then you 373 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 4: would have to say they wanted Hillary Clinton because she 374 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 4: won the popular vote. And that's about all any outside 375 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 4: force could hope to effect. When you start trying to 376 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 4: hack and manipulate outcomes in the electoral college battle, there 377 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 4: isn't a single source anywhere that can do that. Otherwise, 378 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 4: if somebody had figured that out, whoever that guy is 379 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 4: with would always win. 380 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: So the lie that is the engine and. 381 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 4: The fuel for all of this that we're going through 382 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 4: is that this election was illegitimate, that the Russians hacked it, 383 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 4: and furthermore, that Trump and his campaign staff were in 384 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 4: regular contact with the Russians. 385 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: During the campaign. 386 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 4: This story has run twice now in the New York Times, 387 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 4: and both times the New York Times admits that there 388 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 4: is no evidence whatsoever. They have no evidence. It's akin 389 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 4: to the seriousness of the charge being so grave that 390 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 4: we must continue to look into it. There is no 391 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,479 Speaker 4: evidence for the primary assertion that is driving this entire 392 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 4: attack on Trump. This attack is coming from the shadows 393 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 4: of the deep state, where former Obama employees remain in 394 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 4: the intelligence community, and that would be at the CIA, 395 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 4: that would be at the Defense Intelligence Agency, that would 396 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 4: be where at the National Security Agency. 397 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 2: They are there. 398 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 4: They were not elected, they were appointed. 399 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: They were not elected, they were appointed by Obama. There 400 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: you had Rush talking about Obama's shadow government. Now that 401 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 2: was back in twenty seventeen, So now just apply all 402 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 2: of that. That was the shadow government in a sense, 403 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: and the deep state operating deeper in the shadows because 404 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: Trump was president. But then twenty twenty comes along, Joe 405 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 2: Biden somehow becomes president, and what happens the ascendancy of 406 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 2: the Obama shadow government, and that is what we have 407 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 2: seen now. It is basically the government, but just more 408 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 2: in the background. Right, the frontman is Biden, but the apparatus, 409 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 2: the advisors, the power brokers, it is all a continuation 410 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: of the eight years of Obama. And that's how you 411 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 2: have Joe Biden advocating for policy that are radical that 412 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: he himself would have said were radical back during the 413 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 2: Obama years. But he is just there to carry forward 414 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 2: the Marxist program. He doesn't know what's going on. He's 415 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: just the guy who stands there in waves and grins 416 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: while the machinery of the Obama government continues to push 417 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: and operate around him and tries to continue this as 418 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 2: though it is a third Obama term. Okay, you can 419 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: pull these pieces together and you can see exactly how 420 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,959 Speaker 2: this all unfolds, and it then makes sense. Now there 421 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: are no surprises. You go, oh, of course, how could 422 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 2: they think that Joe? How could Democrats in good conscience, 423 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 2: We'll forget about conscience. A lot of them don't have 424 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 2: a conscience. But put that aside. How can Democrats as 425 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: a party put Joe Biden forward for four more years? 426 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 2: See this goes to why I believe they're going to 427 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 2: do it, because they all know he's not. It doesn't 428 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: matter cognitive decline, who cares. He's just there for the 429 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 2: photos cognitive decline. Who cares about his cognition as long 430 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: as he has a beating heart and he's Joe Biden, 431 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: He's standing there. It all continues because it was never 432 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 2: contingent on his abilities, his thoughts, or his leadership in 433 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 2: the first place. This is important. This is important. I 434 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: think it shows you where we're heading here. And then 435 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 2: can't you also see the get Trump deep state operation, 436 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 2: the continuation of the Obama leave behinds. Brennan for example, 437 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: Obama's close buddy and CIA director, huge part of the 438 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 2: effort to take Trump and get Trump out of office. 439 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: Look at what happened to the DOJ, Look at happen 440 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 2: to what the FBI, look at those institutions that were 441 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 2: corrupted by these Marxist deep state Obama leave behinds. And 442 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 2: now you see under the Biden administration, how are they 443 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: hoping to keep the Biden regime going to use those 444 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 2: same instruments at the DOJ, the deep state, the intel community, 445 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: all the rest of it to effectively hobble Trump going 446 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 2: into this election. The system, the machine just keeps on going. 447 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: This is why got Gavin Newsom. I don't think I 448 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: don't think the machine thinks they need him. Yet they're 449 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 2: holding off on Gavin Newsom until later. I think he 450 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: will run. I don't think he's going to run this 451 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 2: time around. I could be wrong. And as I've said 452 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 2: all along, if Joe Biden, if his health does truly fail, 453 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 2: and he's an eighty year old man, so that's not 454 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: that wouldn't be strange, then of course things change and 455 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 2: then the machinery will pivot. But it is because I 456 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 2: believe they all recognize that on important decision making, on 457 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 2: pushing the Marxist progressive left wing agenda forward for four 458 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: more years, Joe Biden's ability to even say Marxist out 459 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 2: loud or spell it is irrelevant because he's not the 460 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: one who is calling the shots. Go check out that piece, 461 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 2: the Obama Factor. It's up on Clay and Buck dot 462 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 2: com right now.

That tragedy, 503 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 5: that tragic shooting of six people at Covenant School occurred 504 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 5: on March twenty seventh. In April, Governor Bill Lee and 505 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 5: others gestured towards the likely release of the manifesto. We're 506 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 5: now sitting in August. That manifesto has still not been released, 507 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 5: and I think that's wrong because there's a long standing 508 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 5: tradition in law enforcement whenever the manifesto is recovered to 509 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 5: release it to help understand the most we can about 510 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 5: a tragedy to help prevent something like it from happening 511 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 5: in the future. But my particular reason for going to 512 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 5: Nashville this month, to Tennessee now is that Governor Bill 513 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 5: Lee then has the gall to nonetheless call a special 514 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 5: session of the legislature to pass red flag laws and 515 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 5: anti gun measures without actually releasing to the public the 516 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 5: essence of that manifesto. And I just think that's wrong. 517 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 5: I think it erodes a public trust. I think it 518 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 5: reinforces this wrong belief that the public cannot handle the truth. 519 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 5: And so I went there to say, on behalf of 520 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,720 Speaker 5: the citizens of this country, yes, actually we can handle 521 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 5: the truth. 522 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 2: So the vague publicly I've called on this show and 523 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 2: in other forums as well for the release of the manifesto. 524 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 2: My sense of it all along has been, and I'm 525 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: sure this is a part of what's going on, that 526 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 2: there would be some very troubling things in there from 527 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 2: the perspective of the beliefs of this transgender terrorist and 528 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 2: either quote anti trans laws that are being passed in 529 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 2: different or you know, the right wing conducting some kind 530 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 2: of a quote erasure of trans people and they don't 531 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: want the public to see that, right, That's been my 532 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 2: assessment all along. Is there another component to this? I mean, 533 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: now that you've gone right to the heart of this 534 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 2: debate and showed up in Nashville and tried to push 535 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 2: for the release of the transgender shooter's manifesto, is there 536 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 2: a part of the argument that we're not hearing as 537 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 2: much that actually makes more sense to you, even if 538 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 2: you still believe it should be released. 539 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that there is likely something else going 540 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 5: on here. That's my strong sense. I think there were 541 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 5: people who came from that community who are also against 542 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 5: its release. But my view is, even if it's not 543 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 5: my preferred political narrative or somebody else's preferred political narrative, 544 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 5: we should not have preferred political narratives. Actually, we should 545 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 5: just be interested in the truth. America is founded on 546 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 5: the truth, on a government accountable to its people rather 547 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 5: than the other way around. And so even if the 548 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 5: truth isn't that they are protecting some transgender hate crime 549 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 5: against a Christian school, which is my base case assumption, 550 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 5: you know, I think that, having been there and on 551 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 5: the ground my senses, that may not be the story. 552 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 5: But all we have now to do is to be 553 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 5: left to guess, and I think that that's wrong. 554 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 6: Now. 555 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 5: One of the arguments that they sometimes use is to 556 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 5: say that they don't want to provide inspiration or a 557 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 5: roadmap for people who can commit similar crimes in the future. 558 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,879 Speaker 5: I don't want that either. Nobody wants that. I think 559 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 5: if there are details of a crime that need that 560 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 5: need to be you know, laid out, well, those can 561 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 5: be redacted in the case of a memo that's public release, 562 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 5: I'd be supportive of that. But nonetheless, we have to 563 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 5: see at least the truth about the motives. We have 564 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 5: to see the truth about what was behind this killer's motives. 565 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 5: We have a mental health epidemic in this country. Genderdice forty, 566 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 5: I believe is the mental health condition. We have to 567 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 5: confront that reality, but a deeper mental health condition. If 568 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 5: people pose risks to their communities, we need to to 569 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 5: deal with that in a different way than just removing 570 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 5: guns from law abiding citizens, which is exactly what Tennessee 571 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,720 Speaker 5: is on track to do later this month. And history 572 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 5: teaches us that we make our worst policy decisions under 573 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 5: conditions of a so called response to an emergency. When 574 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 5: we suppress the truth that's exactly what happened during the 575 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 5: COVID nineteen pandemic, and I see the same mistake on 576 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 5: track to repeat itself in Tennessee, by the way, under 577 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 5: a Republican governor. 578 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 2: At them the thek Ramaswami with us. Now he's running 579 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 2: for president, he's showing up big already in some of 580 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 2: the polls relative to the other challengers. And Viveke, did 581 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 2: you I don't know if if you've seen this, so 582 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 2: I'm kind of putting you on the spot, but I'm 583 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 2: curious what your assessment of it. Is a lot of 584 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:52,240 Speaker 2: folks reacting to this. David Samuel's kind of magazine piece 585 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 2: in Tablet where he goes into effectively Obama's actually calling 586 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,719 Speaker 2: a lot of the shots for the Biden and this 587 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 2: seems to pull together a lot of different threads. Makes 588 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 2: a lot of sense to me. What's your assessment of 589 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 2: that and how it pertains to Biden going forward? 590 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 5: Well, this issue is pretty relevant to my campaign. I'm 591 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 5: a little bit outside the Gop Overton window here on this. 592 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,240 Speaker 5: My whole point is, I think we need to stop 593 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 5: talking about Biden right. The party line is what the 594 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 5: political consultants are coaching. The candidates to do, and every 595 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 5: other candidate is doing. It's talking about the radical Biden agenda. 596 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 5: My messages folks to stop talking about Biden for two reasons. 597 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 5: First of all, we have to actually talk more about 598 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,520 Speaker 5: an affirmative vision of our own. It was our failure 599 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 5: to do that that I believe actually lost us what 600 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 5: was the red wave that never came in twenty twenty two. 601 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 5: But the deeper reason is the dirty little secret that 602 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 5: Biden is not in charge. The people we elect to 603 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 5: run the government are not the ones who actually run 604 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,400 Speaker 5: the government. That is the dirty little secret of modern 605 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 5: federal government in the United States of America. It is 606 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 5: the managerial class in the deep state. And if we're 607 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 5: unwilling to waigh up to that reality, then we're just 608 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 5: going to swap out one Republican puppet for a Democratic puppet. 609 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 5: But it's going to be the still same managerial machine 610 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 5: that runs the show. So the only thing I would say, 611 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 5: and I haven't read the piece, but reacting to what 612 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 5: you said, is I think there's a temptation to then 613 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 5: pin it to another one person, say Obama. It's not 614 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 5: one person. It is a machine. It is a system 615 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 5: that is bigger than any one person. It is the Leviathan. Okay, 616 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 5: this is the Leviathan that Hobbs wrote about four hundred 617 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 5: years ago. It exists on modern American soil. It is 618 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 5: the hollowed out husk of a republic that we actually 619 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,399 Speaker 5: live in today. And I think the more we talk 620 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 5: about that, Clay, I'm leading the way and offering specifics, 621 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 5: unprecedented detail on how we would shut down that administrative state, 622 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 5: that deep state, and how that will stimulate the economy, 623 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 5: how that restores accountability in government. That's how we actually 624 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 5: win this election in a landslide. But the more we 625 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 5: fixate on just talking about Joe Biden and offering pole 626 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 5: tested platitudes from Republican political consultants, the more we're missing 627 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 5: the plot. And I think, by the way, the more 628 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 5: likelyas we're going to lose the next election too. 629 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 2: Now we are being told that any day now, and 630 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 2: I think at this point it's an assumption, right, It's not. Oh, 631 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 2: maybe there's going to be an indictment in Atlanta. I'd 632 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 2: be shocked if it didn't happen, which could mean a 633 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 2: fourth criminal indictment against Donald Trump. Now you have maintained, 634 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 2: Vivek that you are running to be president, not running 635 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 2: to be Trump vice president or Treasury secretary or anything else. 636 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 2: What do you think the proper response of the GOP 637 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 2: speaking of machinery should be two? Well, certainly three and 638 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 2: likely soon four criminal indictments of your chief opponent in 639 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 2: this primary. 640 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 5: But there's a lot of people who want to hear 641 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 5: me sit around in bash Trump. I'm not going to 642 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,760 Speaker 5: do it, because, honestly, I think he was an excellent president. 643 00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 5: I think that his victory over Hillary Clinton in twenty 644 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 5: sixteen was probably the single most political and politically important 645 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 5: event in my lifetime, certainly in this century, stopping the 646 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 5: inevitable Marxist march throughout this country and our government. And 647 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:10,919 Speaker 5: so if you want to hear a bunch of people 648 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 5: bashing Trump, tune into MSNBC. That's not what I'm going 649 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,720 Speaker 5: to give you. But I'm in this to move us forward. 650 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 5: I would have made different judgments than Trump made, but 651 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 5: a bad judgment is not a crime. And I think 652 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 5: it is no accident that you are seeing three now 653 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 5: possibly four, but at least in the three that are 654 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 5: out novel, previously untested legal theories levied against one man 655 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 5: in the middle of a presidential election. Come on, guys, 656 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 5: this is politicized persecution. Through prosecution, it sets an awful 657 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:41,359 Speaker 5: and dangerous legal precedent in our country. Even that most 658 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 5: recent indictment effectively criminalizing seeking good faith legal advice and 659 00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 5: a lawyer giving it, turning that activity into a so 660 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 5: called conspiracy with your lawyer. This is uncharted legal territory. 661 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 5: It is dangerous precedents that shake the foundations of our 662 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 5: legal system. And I say this as somebody who is 663 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 5: now running third in the publican national primary. It would 664 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,320 Speaker 5: be easier for me if Trump were eliminated from competition, 665 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,680 Speaker 5: but that would be the wrong thing for the country. 666 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 5: And that is why I've been so forceful on this, 667 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 5: and it is also why I have been crystal clear 668 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 5: that when I'm president and Clay, I do expect to 669 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 5: be honest. 670 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 2: I'm buck Clays out today, but close enough, go ahead. 671 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 5: We will we will pardon him.

What would a Ramaswami immigration 680 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,719 Speaker 2: policy look like? And I mean, give me some of 681 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,279 Speaker 2: the Please secure the border. Yeah, yeah, we know, enforce 682 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 2: the law. Yeah we know what though? 683 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 5: How Yeah, so let me let me go quickly because 684 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 5: there's a lot here. One is, the wall is not enough. 685 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,800 Speaker 5: We must use the US military to secure the southern border. 686 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,439 Speaker 5: We have one point three million men and women serving today, 687 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 5: seven hundred thousand more in reserve. That is plenty to 688 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 5: secure the southern border. Close the Swiss cheese of a hole. 689 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 5: They're building cartel financed tunnels underneath that wall. It's the 690 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 5: source of most of the fentanyl coming into this country. 691 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 5: That's how we end it. Stop funding for sanctuary cities 692 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 5: that eliminates the incentives, and further stop a dime of 693 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 5: foreign aid, any dime to Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Belize 694 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:43,600 Speaker 5: until Mexico itself has solved its own southern border problem. 695 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 5: So that's how we solve the illegal migration problem. And 696 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 5: then on immigration more broadly. Look, there's a key north 697 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 5: star here. It should be obvious, but I'm going to 698 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 5: say it anyway, which is that the purpose of our 699 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,880 Speaker 5: immigration policy should be what advances the interests of the homeland, 700 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 5: what advances the interests of American citizens on American soil. 701 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 5: I believe the US President, I believe our government has 702 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 5: a moral obligation to our citizens to ask what advances 703 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,160 Speaker 5: the interests of our citizens, and that would be what 704 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 5: guides a broader legal immigration policy as well, which I 705 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 5: have you know, lengthy views on. But that's the north 706 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 5: star principle that I would use. 707 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 2: The Vike Ramaswami everybody, he is running the veke.
