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

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in our number two Clay Travis

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. We appreciate all of you hanging out

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: with us. We are officially one week until the midterms.

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: There is going to be a red wave. All of

6
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: you need to get out and vote. The question is

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: how high will that red wave be and how many

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: will it carry into Washington and into the state capitals

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: in many of your different locations. As we speak right now,

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: you guys know that I am enjoy I'm a nerd

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to looking at polls, but also I

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: am a gambling person and I like to look where

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: people are actually putting their money. Right now, there are

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: a lot of tight races. But as we speak right

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: and now at a little bit after one o'clock on

16
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: the East Coast on Tuesday, seven days until the election,

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Blake Masters is favored to win the Arizona Senate race.

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: In Nevada, Adam Laxalt is favored to win the Nevada

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Senate race. In Pennsylvania, doctor Oz is favored to win

20
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: the Pennsylvania Senate race, and herschel Walker is a favorite

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: to win the Georgia's Senate race. Republicans right now are

22
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: minus thirty thousand to go out and win the win

23
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: overall the House. So the House, the question is really

24
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: as long as all of you get out and vote

25
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: minus three thousand, I should say, the question is how

26
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: big will that majority be? A really really big favorite

27
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: at minus three thousand. But those four Senate seats that

28
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: I just hit you with Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and in

29
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: Sylvania are all in the crosshairs winnable right now. Republicans

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: are favored in all four, win two, and Republicans take

31
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: back control of the Senate. That is a red wave election.

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Fifty three forty seven. A tsunami would be Joe O'Day

33
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: in Colorado. It would be Tiffany Smiley in Washington, lifting

34
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 1: up other additional candidates. A tsunami buck would be your

35
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: guy Leezelden in New York. Christine Drayson, who we're going

36
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: to talk to in the next hour, is actually favored

37
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: to win an Oregon Tutor Dixon tied up right now

38
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: in many different polls in Michigan, New Mexico, Wisconsin. There

39
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: are a lot of states that could flip from Democrat

40
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: control to Republican control if all of you get out

41
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: and vote, and tide continues to move in the direction

42
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: it is right now. Not surprisingly, I told you that

43
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: I would share you Joy Behar and I will play

44
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: that for you at a moment. But Buck, I thought

45
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: you would love this. This is from Tom Bevan at

46
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: Real Clear Politics. Great website, Real Clear Politics out there

47
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: does a great job of distilling so much of this data.

48
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: Neither Stacy Abrahams in Georgia nor Beto O'Rourke in Texas

49
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: has ever led in a poll this entire race. Not

50
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: one poll has ever had them in the league combined.

51
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: What do you think they have spent on their governor

52
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: races in Georgia and Texas? Buck Sexton to putting me

53
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: on the spot. Okay, I we have not coordinated this.

54
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: You have no ide I'm assuming you haven't seen this tweet.

55
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: I have not seen this tweet. I am going to

56
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: guess at the number. I'm going to say between the

57
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: two of them, they've spent one hundred million dollars, good guess,

58
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: not enough. They are going to spend a hundred and

59
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars between the two of them. That is

60
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: wild raised allion dollars up in smoke. Totally put it

61
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: up in smoke, one hundred and fifty million dollars, much

62
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: of which has come from really rich people in New

63
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: York and California who we said before have been the

64
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: founding members of this Beato and Stacy Abrams fan club

65
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars, and they have never

66
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: led in a single poll into either Texas or Georgia

67
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: this entire election side. So I don't want to get

68
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: in the way of your luncheon day with Joy bay Haa.

69
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: But she's got thoughts for Clay Clay Travis. Isn't he

70
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: that mean sportsman who's always oh, go play the sports.

71
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm from York, I get it. But here

72
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: is Oh actually no, not the Joy Behar. I want

73
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: to tell you about um Josh crash Hour. I just

74
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: saw this tweet. I'm pulling it up right now. Here

75
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, Josh crash Hour. I think he's a

76
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: political guy. One Democratic operative working on house raises in

77
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: New York says the politician on who is the biggest

78
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: drag on Democrats is in Biden. It's not Pelosi, it

79
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: is Governor Kathy Hokel quote, She's dragging down the whole

80
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: ticket and will lose winnable house races because of it.

81
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: The operative says, from his lips to God's ears, the

82
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: woman who used to wear the vaccine necklace deserves not

83
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: only to lose to Leezelden, but every other Democrat in

84
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: a contested race in her state deserves to lose two

85
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: that she will be the vortex that brings them all down.

86
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: You see back where she said she was the underdog.

87
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Did you see you saw the god and see that?

88
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So maybe we can grab that at some

89
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: point and play it for you. I meant to. I'm

90
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: meant to grab that the other day when I saw it.

91
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: She was asked about the close race against Lee's Eldon.

92
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: And there is an all points bulletin like defcon notice

93
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: out for Democrats right now all over the state of

94
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: New York to try and save Kathy Hokel. And I'm

95
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: not sure that they're going to be able to do it.

96
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: I hope they're not going to be able to. But

97
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: she was asked about that, and she said, oh, I'm

98
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: the underdog in this race. And when you're the Democrat

99
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: and you're calling yourself the underdog in a statewide race

100
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: in New York, it ain't going well for you. It's

101
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: it's remarkable that this is where we are at this

102
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: stage of the game with Democrats. But when you think

103
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: about it, they refuse to moderate positions or change course,

104
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: and so of course it keeps getting worse. Right, There's

105
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: there's no part of them that's really been willing to

106
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: adopt in the last six months, even the last six weeks,

107
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: positions on the crime issue. The crime issue is one

108
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: where you know, no matter who you are, if you

109
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: live in a place where you feel like it is.

110
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, people who live in the suburbs,

111
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: for example, people who live upstate in New York. Just

112
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: to give you an example of that, right, my grandparents

113
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: had a place in the Hudson Valley. I used to

114
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: spend summers there. Okay, it's two hours drive, one hundred

115
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: miles from New York City. None of them want to

116
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: hear or believe that New York City is unsafe because

117
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: they have friends and family who live there. They go visit,

118
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: they go to catch a show, or they go to

119
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: see the rock Cats or what. Nobody wants to believe

120
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: that the crown jewel city of their state, whether it's

121
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: New York or Chicago or you know, Phoenix or you

122
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: name it, is having a massive crime increase. And the

123
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: fact that what they've been saying to us is and look,

124
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: this is also a part of the Pelosi the Paul

125
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Pelosi attacked discussion here, which putting us up, you know,

126
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: the politics that they're trying to make of and everything else.

127
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,559
Speaker 1: It is far too normal in American cities for seeing

128
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: your citizens to be attacked by maniacs. Just as a

129
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: general you know, this is and we want this to stop.

130
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Our side wants us to stop. In all cases. What

131
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: happened to Popolosi was terrible, but it shouldn't happen to anybody.

132
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: And they're telling us, Clay that it's not happening. That's

133
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: the part of it that I think is the most calling.

134
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: And this is exactly what so they've moved from the

135
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: argument now, which is it seems maybe the worst argument

136
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: they've made so far is the idea that crime is

137
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: increasing is just in your heads. It's not a reality.

138
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: That's what the dumbest person in television. Joy Behar said

139
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: to her audience on the view earlier today. I might

140
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: to remind everybody, but it was the Democrats, but not

141
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats who storms the government that day and tried

142
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 1: to kill the vice president. Yeah, okay. And the Republicans

143
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: now coming up to the next election, which is next week,

144
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: by the way, that all they do is talk about crime, crime, crime.

145
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Well I looked it up. Murders and major cities have

146
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: fallen by four percent so far in twenty twenty two

147
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: compared it with the same period a year ago, So

148
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: the crime is not on the rise, it's actually going

149
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: down under jub so four percent. Buck, And again, she's

150
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: an imbecile. First of all, I don't know what city

151
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: she's citing, so, and I also question anyone who works

152
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: on Joy Behar's rearch research staff. I'm also going to

153
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: toss out is probably an imbecile as well. But the

154
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: way to look at this is not to compare it

155
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: right now with twenty twenty one, because twenty twenty and

156
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one were massive increases. It's to compare twenty

157
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: twenty two with twenty nineteen, which is when this all

158
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: took off, and the number of murders occurring in twenty

159
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: twenty two are up massively. Compared to what happened in

160
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. And actually, I think

161
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people remember that the argument that the

162
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: same Democrats, the argument they were making Clay was that

163
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: this was just COVID related and therefore temporary, kind of

164
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: like how inflation was going to be temporary or transient.

165
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: They said the same thing about the crime wave. It

166
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: has actually proven to be durable. And so what they're

167
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: doing now is saying, well, maybe it's durable at this

168
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: elevated rate, but at an unacceptably high rate, it has

169
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: dipped down a tiny bit. And that's not even true everywhere,

170
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: and it's not even true in all crime categories. We

171
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: could sit here and play this game all day. Okay, fine,

172
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: San Francisco doesn't have a sky high murder rate. It

173
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: does have a sky high burglary, you know, theft, breaking

174
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: and entering. I mean, those crimes are all different. Areas

175
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: have different Some places have tremendous increases in grand theft,

176
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: auto or even carjacking as a specific. You know, crime

177
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: is regional in some ways in that sense. But what

178
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: you do see is there are big increases in every city,

179
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: pretty much in the entire country. In fact, the Wall

180
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: Street Journal was crunching the numbers eight months ago. I

181
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: think it was on rural areas seeing an increase in

182
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: crime because there's so much more in the cities that

183
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: it starts to bleed out into not just the suburbs,

184
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: but even further beyond that. And look, they're the Democrats.

185
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: If they lose the way we think they're going to lose,

186
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: and if it's in large part on this issue, they're

187
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: getting what they deserve. Yes, that's something ever needs to know.

188
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: They deserve to lose based on what they've done. But

189
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: also when the arguments they make the crime situation isn't

190
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: that bad, Jay Peharsha rud Clay. It's spent decades of

191
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: my life in New York, thousands and thousands of hours.

192
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't do the math off the top

193
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: of my head. But on the subway system it is dangerous.

194
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: Now there are there are maniacs that you have to

195
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: be aware of and that are threatening an ominous to

196
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: be around in levels I have never seen before, certainly

197
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: since like nineteen ninety two. Yeah, and look, the argument

198
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: is going to really fall flat because I think people

199
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: are smart enough to understand that saying oh, crime's not

200
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: up that much in twenty twenty two, combined with historic rises.

201
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: I believe the FBI said the difference between nineteen ninety

202
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: and nineteen sorry night, twenty nineteen and twenty twenty was

203
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: the largest single year increase in murder on record for

204
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: the FBI, and then the numbers went up again in

205
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. And so I think, again, we're sitting

206
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: here in November. First, A lot of murders tend to

207
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: happen late in the year historically, and so that will

208
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: likely continue. But to say, oh, murders are down four

209
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: percent off of two of the worst years that we

210
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: have seen in the twenty first century is not going

211
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: to make people feel like they're very much safer. And again,

212
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: I would question any data that Joy Behar is citing,

213
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure there's anyone on television who has

214
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: consistently been more wrong. I'm not even talking about opinion,

215
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: just factually getting things that are clearly not true and

216
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: using them as a part of her arguments. Clay Traviss

217
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: being so mean today, he's being a mean many to you, Joy,

218
00:12:54,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: you turned eighty. I was legitimately stunned that you were.

219
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: I thought Joy Behar is a lot younger than eighty it.

220
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: I mean she's younger. Joy Behart is older than Joe Biden.

221
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: And as much as I think Joy Behar has lost

222
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: her mind, her mind works way better than the President

223
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: of the United States. Unfortunately she's damming her with faint praise,

224
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: but it is fate praise. At least there you go. Look,

225
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: the economy is what it is right now. You see

226
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: it rising, inflation, the stock market up down, up down.

227
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: Look what's gone on with your four oh one k

228
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: and it's likely to get rockier even in the next year.

229
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: So what are you doing right now? The Phoenix Capital

234
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: stuff that we need and everyone's figuring out we really

235
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: need this stuff. We need more of it to be produced,

236
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: and that means the oil and gas companies are going

237
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: to be in a good spot. These are corporate bond

240
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: in a second. But keep in mind in investment in

241
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: bonds does have a certain amount of risk, and you

242
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: should only invest if you can afford to bear the

243
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: risk of some loss. Before making investment decisions, you should

244
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,760

Speaker 1: want to invest in the oil and gas sector and

248
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,760

253
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: three two three Phoenix, like the city three two three

254
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: pH Oe Nix. This is new from Gallant. They ask

255
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: folks the issues they consider the most important, very important,

256
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: and you see the economy, tops of abortion, saggan, crime,

257
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: gun policy, immigration. Then you ask folks who say these

258
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: are the most important issues to them, how they intend

259
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: to vote. And I think this is interesting too because

260
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: look at this on all but one of these topics,

261
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Republicans have an advantage, and on three of them, the economy, crime, immigration,

262
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Republicans have massive advantages over Democrats. So that's the numbers

263
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: guy at NBC, Steve Kornaki, And what was that Economy

264
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: crime immigration. I feel like I feel like that's a

265
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: mantra that everybody will recall. We have been just sitting here.

266
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: I think we've even done show episodes where the title

267
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: was economy, crime, immigration, economy crime immigration. And the GOP

268
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: has done well presenting these as areas certainly of Democrat deficiency,

269
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: and they have no response to the failures that have

270
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: happened on those three primary issues. It's not January six,

271
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: it's not abortion, it's economy, crime, immigration, and Clay. This

272
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: is why they're not even making sense. I mean, here's

273
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: Kathey Hokel. We're talking about her a second ago, saying, oh,

274
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: she's actually the sitting governor who's the underdog in New York.

275
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: We have it now. Great, I think, Nan, you'll clear

276
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: in my expectations in this race since the GHINNI I've

277
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: always said, how was an underdog. I've been in the

278
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: job a short time. I have a short compressed period

279
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: for people to get to know me. I mean, she's

280
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: underdoged buck. For you, when you hear that, as a

281
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: lifelong New Yorker, when you hear a Democrat who is

282
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: the incumbent saying that she is the underdog, what is

283
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: your reaction? I mean, is this one of the we

284
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: know Kathy Hokel is not smart, but is this actually

285
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: one of the dumbest things Kathy Hokel has ever said.

286
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: It's certainly, it's certainly in that list. I think it

287
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: makes the pantheon of stupid statements. And this is also though,

288
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: indicative of they got they got nothing. I mean at

289
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: this point point, you know, I don't know if you've

290
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: ever had this experienced, Clay, but I have played on

291
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: some sports teams in my life where you were getting

292
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: beaten so badly. Oh yeah, that you know that that

293
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: you just wanted to end like you're like you just

294
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: you just are like those by the way, and that

295
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: clock finally hits or the buzzer sounds, and you get

296
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: to you and you get off that field as fast

297
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: as possible. You just want to protell like it never happened.

298
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: Democrats are sliding into that territory with this election. Right now,

299
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: that they just want the pain to stop. I've had

300
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: a lot of those speeches as a coach where you're

301
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: down big at basketball at halftime, you're like, let's just

302
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: win the second half, guys, just like, let's not even

303
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: worry about the first half result. Let's just win the

304
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: second half. Democrats can't even say that. I do feel

305
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: like they are spiraling into absurdity every single day the

306
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: longer this goes, and it's just making it worse. Absolutely

307
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: the case, friends, We've got a lot to be talking

308
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: to you about out here going forward. We're going to

Speaker 1: be discussing it. In a second. Gun owners, you know,

Speaker 1: there's a new way to keep your skills sharp without

311
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: spending all that money on AMO. The product is called

312
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: Mantis X. It's an AMMO free, electronic way to improve

313
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: your shooting accuracy. I'm sitting here right now with my

314
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: Mantis X system. All the best shooters do their training

315
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: doing dry fire practice at home, and that's what mantis

319
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: Ninety four percent of shooters improved within twenty minutes of

320
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: using mantis X military grade technology. Our own military uses

321
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: this to help them brush up their skills. If you

322
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,280

Speaker 1: X dot com. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

326
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: We are joined now by Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton. Appreciate

327
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: him joining us. Senator, I want to start right here.

328
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: I know you've got a new book out Only the

329
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: Strong Reversing the Left plot to sabotage American power. We

330
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: appreciate everyone listening on our Arkansas affiliates and certainly all

331
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: over the country. But I want to start here. Given

332
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: the fact that we are one week out from the

333
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,959
Speaker 1: mid terms, based on the numbers that you are seeing,

334
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: do you feel like you guys in the Senate will

335
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: be in the majority come you know, a week from

336
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: today when these election results start coming in. Well, thanks

337
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: for having me on, guys, and I do believe that

338
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: we're going to win a solid majority in both the

339
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: House and the Senate. I wan't hazard death with specific numbers.

340
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: Just let me say, I think it's going to be

341
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: a comfortable majority. You know, I got into New York

342
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: late last night for the book launch of Only the Strong,

343
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: and I turned on the local news because I'd like

344
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: to see what's happening in the local scene. And every

345
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: ad I saw in the local news was about Democratic

346
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: congressman in New York and connect in New Jersey. Some

347
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: of these congressmen are in seats that Joe Biden won

348
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: by twenty points, and the Democratic Party is now spending

349
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars to save their hide. Why

350
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: are they doing that? Because they know they're in trouble.

351
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: As I say, and Only the Strong, you know, you

352
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: shouldn't listen to what your adversaries say. Look at what

353
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: they do. Iran says, Oh, our nuclear deal is peaceful,

354
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: but then they build nuclear facilities in a hardened monk

355
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: or underneath a mount. Charlie says, they're not peaceful. Likewise,

356
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: don't look at Nancy Pelosi saying they're going to hold

357
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: the House, or Joe Biden say the polls are going

358
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: to turn around. Look where they're committing their time and

359
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: their money and their surrogate's time, they're in places that

360
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: Joe Biden won by ten at fifteen and even twenty points.

361
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: Cenator cottons Buck, Thanks for being with us. Where do

362
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: you see surprising victories now as possible? I mean so

363
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put you know, anybody who has been ahead

364
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: so in recent polling, herschel Walker for example, methemod Ozs,

365
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't view those as a surprise. We've been talking

366
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: about some important races where it looks like, for example,

367
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: Tiffany Smiley will be with a shortly in Washington State,

368
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: we could pull out some huge upset wins. Do you

369
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: do you have any that our top of mind for you?

370
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: And if so, what is it? Just the the triad,

371
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: the triumvirt of crime, immigration, and the economy that's pushing it. Yeah,

372
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: but thanks for the question. Thanks for having Tiffany on

373
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: as well. Tiffany is a great candidate. I've been fantastic

374
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: from the very beginning early last year when she and

375
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: her husband, Scotty Smiley came to see me, and I've

376
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: been encouraging her. I encourage her Ryan, I've been backing

377
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: her for over a year now, being out on the

378
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: campaign trail with her in Washington later this week. I

379
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: think she's gonna beat Patty Murray, who is a failed

380
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: thirty year politician, no solutions and no answers, and in

381
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: fact is part of the cause for the record high

382
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: inflation that Washington Staters are suffering. For the crime and

383
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: the drugs, and the homelessness that makes the areas in

384
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: Seattle to in the Puget Sound almost unlivable for families

385
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: with young children, For the wide open border that has

386
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: brought so much of those drugs into our communities. I

387
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: also wouldn't be surprised to see Joe O'Day when in

388
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: Colorado was with Joe on the campaign trail last month.

389
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: Joe is a great up from the bootstraps American success story,

390
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: working as a carpenter to build his own construction company.

391
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett has not only been a rubber stamp for

392
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, but he himself has been a driver of

393
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: the inflation. He was the champion in the big stimulus

394
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: bill last year of sending out welfare checks to all Americans,

395
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: even prisoners, which that all the Democrats voted for without

396
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: any connection to work. Again, as I make the point

397
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 1: in my book, are the strong what you see with

398
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: our wide open border, what you see with these record

399
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: inflation numbers, weakening our military. It's not an accident. It's

400
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: not bad luck for the Democrats. It's what they intended

401
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: to accomplish when Joe Biden said he was going to

402
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: ban fossil fuels. We shouldn't be surprised to see gas

403
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: at almost four dollars a gallon. The American people can

404
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: see these things. They want to put the brakes on

405
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: the democrats ideological agenda, and that's what they're going to

406
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: do in a wait. Okay, Senah Cotton, We've got Christine

407
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: Dreysen who's running potentially and we believe gonna win the

408
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: Oregon governor's race as a Republican for the first time

409
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: since the nineteen eighties. You just mentioned Tiffany Smiley, who's

410
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: gonna be on with us tomorrow. We've had her on

411
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: a couple of times already that you think she's gonna

412
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,439
Speaker 1: win in Washington. What does it say that both of

413
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: these women are capable of winning Washington and Oregon among

414
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: the bluest of the Blue states, as Republican moms running

415
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: basically on a platform of sanity about how far left

416
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 1: wing Democrats have truly gone that even their bait states,

417
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: which I think it's fair to say Washington and Oregon are,

418
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: are now open to Republican arguments. Yeah. And I would

419
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: add another surprising race to many observers as the New

420
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: York governor's race. I'm coming up at Lee Zelden is

421
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: going to be Kathie helpful there, and Zeldon's gonna win

422
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I do. Yeah, And I believe that

423
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: because the Democrats have put their ideology ahead of the

424
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: concrete material interests of normal Americans, as I write about

425
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: and only the strong. And this goes back one hundred

426
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: years to the progressive movement and really it's founder and

427
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: patriot Saint Woodrow Wilson, that they put ideology above things

428
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: like stable prices in better jobs, and sound education, safe street,

429
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: secure borders, a strong military. To win wars, we have

430
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: to fight them, hopefully to deter them from happening in

431
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: the first place, in a state like New York or

432
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: Washington or Oregon. You know, as I've told some of

433
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: our CAMISA and you can't just run a partisan campaign

434
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: because there aren't enough Republicans to win. It's like Glen

435
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: Yonkin ran last year in Virginia. It's a campaign that's

436
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: focused on the common sense aspirations, needs, and interests of

437
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: normal Americans. The American people have a sound head on

438
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: their shoulders. They are not ideologues, unlike the progress have

439
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: left in America today, and they don't want leaders who

440
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: put their own ideology ahead of their interests. And that's

441
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: exactly what you're going to see in places like Washington

442
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: and Oregon and New York, to say nothing of slightly

443
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: more Republican states. We're speaking of Senator Tom Cotton and

444
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: Senator to that end, I'm wondering for anybody, and we've

445
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: got a reach into all fifty states here. We've got

446
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: stations or people listening in all the competitive races right now.

447
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: For anyone who's sitting around they're thinking, am I am

448
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: I going to get up? Am I going to vote?

449
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: Who am I going to vote for? They still have

450
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: any questions in their head whatsoever about Let's just say,

451
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: in these Senate races that are very close, what is

452
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: a fifty two or fifty three seat Republican Senate majority

453
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: mean for the next two years? Were the simplest and

454
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: fastest accomplishment will be that we put the breaks on

455
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: the Democrats ideological agenda. The reason we have thirteen percent

456
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: inflation since Joe Biden took office is the Democrats of

457
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: trillion dollars that we don't have and the economy didn't

458
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 1: need all that style. When we win this election and

459
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: take power in January, we can also use Congress as

460
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: spending power to make some incremental games to help reduce inflation,

461
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: to help get people back to work, hopefully to forestall

462
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: or weaken the intensity of a recession that Joe Biden

463
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: inflation may be causing right now, to insist that Joe

464
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: Biden take more steps to secure our border. You know,

465
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: when I was in the Senate the first two years.

466
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 1: In the last two years of the Obama presidency, we

467
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: are able to use the spending power for some such accomplishments, like,

468
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: for instance, lifting the ban on exporting of oil, which

469
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: only helped us produce more oil here at america'sts we

470
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: could now sell it all around the world. A third

471
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: thing is that we're going to use our oversight power

472
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of exactly what the ad

473
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: Biden administration has been doing to abuse its power. Why,

474
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: for instance, is the FBI conducting raids against pro life

475
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: activists for the grave sin and crime of singing hymns

476
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: in front of abortion clinics, while pregnancy crisis centers are

477
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: being vandalized and even firebombed in some cases, yet there's

478
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: never been an arrest in them. You know, what's the

479
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: administration proposing to do with these eighty seven thousand new

480
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: RS agents. What exactly have they been up to in

481
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice and persecuting parents who have the

482
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: audacity to go to school boards to speak up on

483
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: behalf of their kids education. I promised thoroughgoing probing inquiries

484
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: into the abuses of the abiding administration. Those are just

485
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: a few things that you can expect to vote Republican,

486
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: and I'd urge you all to get out and vote

487
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: in the next seven days, no doubt. Last question for you,

488
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: Senator Cotton, you wrote a op ed for The New

489
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: York Times, which I agreed with at the time it

490
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: was published, that we needed to get our riots, that

491
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: that summer of twenty twenty under control, and that might

492
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: involve bringing out the National Guard to help patrol city

493
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: streets and get places back to normal. The I believe

494
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: I got this correct. The executive editor of the New

495
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: York Times editorial page lost his job over that article

496
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: even being published the Washington Post. I'm sure you saw this.

497
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a response, but the Washington Post two

498
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: and a half years later came out and said, oh,

499
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: that was wrong. That shouldn't have happened. What does it

500
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: say about left wing cowardice that it took two and

501
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: a half years for anybody to even stand up for

502
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: the belief that your opinion was valid and should be

503
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: able to be shared. Yeah, and you know that Washington

504
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: Post story. It said that, and we knew it was

505
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: wrong at the time. We definitely didn't say it at

506
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: the time because we were scared. I think that's the

507
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: exact language. Scared of their own readers and subscribers, scared

508
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: of their left wing workforce, just like the New York

509
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: Times had a woke rebellion among the little social justice

510
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: warriors working there. I think the bigger question is what

511
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: are they suppressing now? What information are they not sharing?

512
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: What are they trying to censor? And I touch on

513
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: this sum and only the strong. This is part of

514
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: the progressive less playbook, going back to Woodrow Wilson a

515
00:28:55,600 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: hundred years ago, rather than engage in a debate the

516
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: merits and then try to subject it to stay. Legislative

517
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: votes are ultimately the ballot box. The left would prefer

518
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 1: to censor information with which it doesn't agree. You know,

519
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: that was one example from twenty twenty of the riots

520
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: in the summer. Remember in early twenty twenty, I also said,

521
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think this coronavirus came from a

522
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: market in Wuhan. I think it probably came from these laboratories,

523
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: and we should at least examine the question. And again

524
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: I was condemned as a conspiracy theorist, and then I

525
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: was probably fomenting racism and nativism and xenophobia. Or later

526
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: in the election, about this time of year when Big

527
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: Tech censored The New York Post and refused to allow

528
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: people to share stories about Hunter Biden's laptop. Well, two

529
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: years later we know that both of those were sure.

530
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: You know, Hunter Biden's laptop definitely is real, and most

531
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: normal people would common sense think that this virus came

532
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: from those labs. Yet the Democrats still want to censor

533
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: any opinion that goes against their left wing perspective. So

534
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: if you think, for instance, that maybe a healthy teenage

535
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: boy shouldn't get the coronavirus scene, or a healthy teenage

536
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: girls shouldn't have a double mastectomy, or that maybe there

537
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: were irregularities that we should examine and certainly not repeat

538
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 1: in this election from the last election, or that climate change,

539
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: while real, could be better handled with more fossil fuel

540
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: production and more innovation and more economic prosperity. Rather than

541
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 1: engage those on their own terms, the progressive Left simply

542
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: tries to censor them. And this is part of their

543
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: playbook going back one hundred years. As I explain, and

544
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: Only the Strong, the book is Only the Strong. Senator

545
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton, appreciate you being with us. Thanks, gentlemen, it's

546
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: been fun. Clag You know. I don't know if you

547
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: know this about me, but I am a world class

548
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: expert on action movies and even specifically what I would

549
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: call the sub genre of action movies that are martial

550
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: arts films. Have you ever seen the movie Only the Strong.

551
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: I have not. It is about the Brazilian martial art

552
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: known as Capawera. It came out in the nineteen nineties.

553
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: It has quite a catchy soundtrack for the capuaristas listening

554
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: right now, bon On away, guys, bon away, they know

555
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I have no idea what's been Literally,

556
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: it's like a Brazilian dance martial art called Cappuwara and

557
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: the movie is called Only the Strong. So I don't

558
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: think Ceator Cotton knows about that either, but martial arts films, man,

559
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm all about it. For that overlap of our audience,

580
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,040

581
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: political newsmakers joining us in the next hour. Christine Draysen amazing, Drayson,

582
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: I gotta get the t shirts's gonna win running for

583
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: governor and hopefully gonna win. I'm with you on this,

584
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm with you on calling that. That's

585
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: a shot from home. Play it into the upper deck.

586
00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: That's a big swing. But I think she's gonna pull

587
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: it all off. And then doctor meth met Oz doctor

588
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: sent a Canadate for Pa. He'll be joining us the

589
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: next hour or two. So we just want you to

590
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: hear what they're up against. It's fascinating also to see

591
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: the Democrat machinery trying to just kick in here at

592
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: the last second. That figure you gave Clay is mind blowing.

593
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought my guests of one hundred million

594
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: might be a little low, I really thought, honestly, as

595
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: the said, I'm like, it's probably more like one hundred

596
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: and twenty million. But that's still a mind blowing figure

597
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: for two governors races that aren't even close. They're gonna

598
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: lose by double digits in those two places, certainly maybe

599
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: eight or you know, seven or eight points in Georgia.

600
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: And with all this stuff that we see going on,

601
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty million dollars on two governors races,

602
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: the money that is just understand everyone on the merits

603
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: on the facts, on reality. Of course, Republicans are in

604
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: such a strong position, but the propaganda machinery of the Democrats,

605
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: the amount of money pouring into these media markets, and

606
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: it's funded by New York DC area and California predominantly,

607
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: it's crazy amounts of money they're thrown into this stuff.

608
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 1: Did you spend like thirty million against our guy Ron

609
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: John and Wisconsin? Oh, at least I bet it's more

610
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: than that. Before all of a sadden done, the political

611
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: consultants are lining their pockets and the people who are

612
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: making these donations are getting nothing for them, And you

613
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: would think at some point, if you were part of

614
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: that one hundred and fifty million dollars in donations, you

615
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: would say, man, we are throwing good money after bad money.

616
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: And I think, frankly buck, where we are is to

617
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: kind of put it into context, where we are seven

618
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: days out. I don't know of a Republican incumbent that

619
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: is in danger of losing. Republican incumbent now they are

620
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: open seats, like doctor Oz, who we're going to talk

621
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: to next time in the next hour, is running in

622
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 1: an open seat because the senator who owned that seat,

623
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: a Republican, decided to step down. But I can't think

624
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: of a single governor. Remember they were saying, Oh, we're

625
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna get uh Greg Abbott, We're gonna get to Santas,

626
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna get Brian Kemp. I can't think of a

627
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: single Republican governor that is in legitimate danger of losing.

628
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: I can't think of there isn't a Republican senator, and

629
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: I can't imagine there's hardly any in the in the House.

630
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: That's how much of a red wave this is. There's

631
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna be no blue wave to speak of at all,

632
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: no pickups. So this is not the issues and not important.

633
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: But we only have a few seconds here. I just

634
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: want to clarify something. So you weren't it You didn't

635
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: watch like American Ninja and blood Sport and all those

636
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: like eighties early nineties martial arts. Martial arts is a

637
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: genre is kind of falling off. Do you remember they were?

638
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: They were making ninja movies every five minutes when I

639
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: was growing up, man was crazy watch I remember the

640
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: Jean Claude Van dam um My cousin actually got me

641
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: watching the old school, uh, Bruce Lee, Like those are

642
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,360

646
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: saw the Chuck Norris movies, but I was more into

647
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,560

648
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,560

650
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff is amazing, but no, Marshall, I mean

651
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: blood Sport. I can't even admit. I can't believe I've

652
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: met this on there. I may have seen the movie

653
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: blood Sport with Jean Claude van Dam more times than

654
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: any other movie in existence. Have you ever met Jean

655
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: Claude van Dam No, he seems like an interesting fellow.

656
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: He loves talk like that. Yeah, I think he. I

657
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: think he's six. Well, uh, that's probably pretty expensive, I

658
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: would imagine for the alimony. I hope those movies still

659
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: make him somebuddy,
