1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,480 Speaker 1: Sexton Show, Podcast number three, Wednesday edition. I'm Clay Travis, 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: aka a right wing extremist, and I am joined by 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, who's a little bit disappointed that he wasn't 5 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: called the right wing extremist just a few minutes ago. 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 1: You'll be fair, I wasn't mentioned in the piece. If 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: I was, I think I might have been called an 8 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: ultra right wing extremist. Nonetheless, we are rolling with you. 9 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: If you are wondering about that, it's because we dared 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: to question whether there might have been a racial slur 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: uttered at BYU, and that is extremism. Now to ask, hey, 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: could you provide some corroborating evidence of the accusation that 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: you have made? How dare you request such a thing? 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: That is extremism according to the USA? Today we are 15 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: rolling through. We got our friend Senator Ron Johnson scheduled 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: to join us at the bottom of this hour to 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 1: talk about his big Senate race that is going on 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: in the state of Wisconsin. We are obviously advocating for 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: him as aggressively as we can because he's been one 20 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: of the true truth tellers out there. As pertains to 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: COVID and our government's response to it. But Buck, let's 22 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: have a little bit of fun. I know, we got 23 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: a monster audience in California. We're number one right now 24 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: in Sacramento. We are also number one in San Diego, La. 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: Step your game up. Let's be honest, and to San 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: Francisco everybody, we should be number one in the whole state. 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. But I hope that you're able to 28 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: listen to us right now, because maybe you got a 29 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: radio plugged in last night, Buck, right there, a plug 30 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: in radio, school, plug in radio. Last night they were 31 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: having rolling blackouts. Maybe you got us on in your 32 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: electric vehicle and you weren't able to plug in that 33 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: electric vehicle because you were already having to set your 34 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: house thermostat to seventy eight degrees. And last night I 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: was watching the Atlanta Braves play against the Oakland A's, 36 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: and as they started to shut down power in many 37 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: different parts of California. I'm not kidding, Buck, I actually thought, 38 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: for a minute, are they gonna have to turn the 39 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: lights off in the Oakland Baseball Stadium because they can't 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: keep the electricity going? So Gavin Newsom who's grant, whose 41 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: in laws donated five thousand dollars to Governor Ron de Santis, 42 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: and whose family his in laws actually relocated from California 43 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,399 Speaker 1: to Florida because they were so angry over his own 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: COVID policies. Is out there right now, and last night 45 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: they had to start the rolling blackouts. California wants everybody, 46 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: They want everybody to have to have electric vehicles, and 47 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: they're not gonna allow you to buy gas powered vehicles. 48 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 1: And this was Gavin Newsom'm saying, Oh, you know, I 49 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: might be feuding with the state of Florida, but in 50 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: the meantime, let me wear my fleece vest with the 51 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: Did you see the picture of the video with the 52 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: bear on it. Yeah? He he doesn't want to be 53 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: shivering in the cold in his office while he's making 54 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 1: the video about how you have to turn off your electricity. 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: His AC is far too powerful for that. But listen 56 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: to this, Californians. You've stepped up to help in a 57 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 1: big way to keep the lights on so far, but 58 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: where we're heading to the worst part of this he 59 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: wave and the risk for outages is real and it's immediate. 60 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: These triple digit temperatures throughout much of our state are leading, 61 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: not surprisingly to record demand on the energy grid. Everyone 62 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: has to do their part to help step up for 63 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: just a few more days. Individuals, the state, industry's business 64 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: all doing their part to help produce strength on the grid. 65 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 1: And today and tomorrow afternoon after four pm, in particular 66 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: four pm, please turn your thermostat up to seventy eight 67 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: degrees or higher and avoid, to the extent possible using 68 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: any really large appliances. Seventy eight degrees clay. If I'm 69 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: in a room that sevy eight degrees, whatever I'm wearing 70 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: is just sealing in the juices, you know, it just 71 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: is absorbing the sweat that's pouring on seventy eight degrees 72 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: really hot. Also notices tone, though, right, this is the 73 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: governor of California. There's no sense of hey, guys, this 74 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: is you know, a little embarrassing. We're the fifth largest 75 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: economy in the world if we were a country and 76 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: not a state, and we've been blessed with tremendous natural resources, 77 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: but we've kind of got a third world power grid 78 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: situation going on here. He's like, isn't this great? Everybody, 79 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: we're coming together, do your part. They like this for 80 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: the peasants. Mind you, Gavin Newsom, he's gonna have the 81 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: ac blasting at French laundry, maskless, lying in his private jet, 82 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: driving in his Tesla X, which is actually a pretty 83 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: cool cars. That's what he's gonna be dealing with. But 84 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: for all of you out there in California Land, turn 85 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: that thermostat up and just, you know, towel off a 86 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: little bit. Explain this to me, Buck, How is it 87 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: that Florida, which is super hot, Florida obviously really warm 88 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: all summer long. Certainly, how is it that they never have, 89 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: to my knowledge, rolling blackouts in Florida. It's almost like 90 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: California is governed really poorly. Even though it is an 91 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: amazing state. As we always say, I love California, I 92 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: despise the idiotic decisions of the government at California. Florida's 93 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: run well, California is not. This is just the reality 94 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: that everybody who lives in either state knows. Right now. 95 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: Have you ever lived anywhere where the power would go 96 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: off overseas overseas hell, yeah, I mean like in third 97 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: world countries. I was in places where where the power 98 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: would go out for six hours at a time, and 99 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: it was like, yeah, just swelter, just sit there and 100 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: the sweat. To this point, I lived in the US 101 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: Virgin Islands, which is ostensibly still the United States when 102 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: I started practicing law, and power would go out down there, 103 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: because it's basically a third world country. Power would go 104 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: out down there so frequently that we kept frozen ice 105 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: cubes in the refrigerator, so when the power would go out, 106 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: you could go get frozen ice cubes and just put 107 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: them on your forehead because you're sitting you know, it's 108 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: eighty five degrees at night or whatever the heck it 109 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: is in the middle of these places, and the power 110 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: it's you know, perfectly normal weather. I'm not talking about 111 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: like a tree falls on the power line the power 112 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: goes out. I'm talking about, you know, it's perfectly sunny, 113 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: there's not a cloud in the sky, no storm going on, 114 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: and then boom, your power just goes out, and everybody 115 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: just kind of get used to it. When I practice 116 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: law down there, we had a super high end generator 117 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: because the last thing you want to be doing is 118 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: sitting working on a legal document and then boom, the 119 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: power goes out and you lose it, so we had 120 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: a high end generator. It was common and the incompetence 121 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: of the government was a regular discussion point there, because 122 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: when the power goes out, you look around and you're like, 123 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: we're run by imbeciles. How does that not happen in California? 124 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: Even if you are a diet in the wool liberal, 125 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: if you're sitting in your house and the powers turned 126 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,799 Speaker 1: off because yours, Oh I have an instance. Electric grid 127 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: can't answer that? How do you not run by imbeciles? Oh? 128 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: I'm raising my head here. Yes, the answer is it's 129 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 1: not Gavin Newsom's fault. He's a hero in this equation 130 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: because he's fighting climate change, which is the reason the 131 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: power is going off. Isn't that amazing that that we 132 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: we that's limits. We limit the use of natural gas oil, 133 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: we make it more expensive in California, we make the 134 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: power grid less reliable, less powerful, less powerful. Yes, and 135 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: then when the power grid fails because you've been combating 136 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: climate change. The reason for the failure of the power 137 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: grid is climate change. It's it's almost like these people 138 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: are working with a faith based tradition here about the 139 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: climate and nothing else matters to them, and Clay. You 140 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: know the thing about tone. I think this is important 141 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: because they're losing the absolute control of COVID. But it 142 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: was really a test run and many of us you did, 143 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: I did warned early on, Hey guys, don't think that this. 144 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: Oh it has to be this way for we have 145 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: to control where you can go, what you can do, 146 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: what you can buy, what businesses operate, what you can 147 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: say about these policies. COVID was like our free trial 148 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: of totalitarianism in this country and in Western Europe. And 149 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: we said, do you think they're going to stop with 150 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: the COVID emergency, Oh, they're going to get ready for others. 151 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: This Europe has even having worse power issues than we 152 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: are because of the climate lunacy. You know, Joe Biden's like, oh, 153 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: parish climate accords, you know, if he can remember to, 154 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: you know, whichever climate accords in Europe. The European Commission 155 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: President Ursula von dare lay In that's her name, said this. 156 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: I want everyone to hear what she says. This is 157 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: what is expensive because in these peaked demands, the expensive 158 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: gas comes into the market. So what we have to 159 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: do is flattened the curve and avoid the peak demands. 160 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: We would propose a mandatory target for reducing electricity use 161 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: at peak hours. Clay, she's straight up saying it. She 162 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: is saying, we need to mandate how much electricity you 163 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: can use to flatten the curve. Everybody's hairs on the 164 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: back of their neck should be standing up right now. 165 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: These autocrat bureaucrats are not done with you. Not in Europe, 166 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: not in California. I'm glad I got the TV eight 167 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: to rely on in my home state at Tennessee because 168 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: we got a lot of electricity and a very expensive 169 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: But I will that is chilling. I hadn't heard that audio. 170 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: They're using the exact same doctor Fauci language when it 171 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: comes to electricity. We used to make these jokes buck right, 172 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: like you know the rice of gas is too high, Well, 173 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: let's flatten the curve. Nobody drives a car for two 174 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: weeks and the of gas will come down. Well that's true, right, 175 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: They wouldn't be able to sell it. But it isn't 176 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: the way that normal people live. And yet they're going 177 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: to take the lessons from a failed lockdown and start 178 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: to apply it on the climate too. Well, what do 179 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: you think of the chances that Fouci has a second 180 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: act here where it comes out with like a hard hat, 181 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they're like, you know, Fauci's 182 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: been studying up in electricity. He's like, when you're in 183 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: a congregate setting and the power outage issues from the 184 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: climate change. You know. I don't think he's done, man. 185 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: I think they can try to mount for round two. 186 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: I will just tell you, as someone who lived in 187 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: an area where the power would sometimes go out, when 188 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: you are sitting in darkness in your house and nothing works, 189 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: you have a lot of time for sober reflection upon 190 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: the choices that you have made in life. You can't 191 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: escape to the television, you can't go cook, you can't 192 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: listen to music very easily, and when you are sitting 193 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: can't even charge your phone. Your phone better be charged. 194 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to get on that either. 195 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: When you're sitting there, you definitely think, why do we 196 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: have such imbeciles making decisions? And I would just ask people. 197 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: I understand we're big in California with the audience that 198 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: we have. More people voted for Donald Trump in California 199 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: than any state. More people voted for Donald Trump in 200 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: California and this blows people's mind. Then voted for Donald 201 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: Trump in Texas, Like that's true. California is a massive 202 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: population state. This is a moment when many of you 203 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: can have conversations with your persuadable friends and you can 204 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: just say something simple like, hey, do you think a 205 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: state that runs out of electricity and isn't able to 206 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: satisfy the demand for power of its citizens is a 207 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: well run state? Simple question. If you can't satisfy the 208 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: electric demands of your community in the twenty first century, 209 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: is that a state that is being governed well. Don't 210 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: even need to get into politics anything else, just a 211 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: simple question of when your power goes out. It's a moment, 212 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: Crystal is for a lot of people out there to 213 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,439 Speaker 1: maybe question some of the decisions they're making. I would 214 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: add that whether it's Gavin Newsom in California or name 215 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: a Democrat governor or senator, or Joe Biden himself, when 216 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: they pretend to sympathize with the price of natural gas 217 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: right now really hurting families bottom lines, it's gonna get 218 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: a lot worse. Obviously in the wintertime, when that's the 219 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: primary method of heating in this country. When they pretend 220 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: to care about the high price of gasoline, they're lying 221 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: to you because their actual, the Democrat Party's belief system 222 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: is that high prices for gas when you are seeing 223 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: on your credit card receipt at the gas station, those 224 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: sky high prices. Just remember Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, 225 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, name a Democrat. They believe you should be 226 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: paying those high prices because if you're a good person, 227 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: you'd be driving electric, or riding a bicycle, or doing 228 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: your part to fight climate change. The high prices you face, 229 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: they want you to face because it's a necessary way 230 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: to transition you, the dirty peasant, from fossil fuels to 231 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: green energy. They do not sympathize with you. They lie 232 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: to you when elections are coming up to pretend they 233 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: absolutely don't care about the high price of gas for you, 234 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: I mean, Clay. Look at all the things they say. 235 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: Joe Biden says he's gonna phase out all fossil fuels 236 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 1: like a maniac. He's also not letting people. We talked 237 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: about this yesterday. Lowest number of federal land grants to 238 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: be able to get oil and gas in most of 239 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: our lives a fraction even of what Obama did to 240 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: allow oil and gas drilling on federal lands. It's by design, 241 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: my friends, My Pillow has some amazing products out there, 242 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: and their original My Slippers are almost completely out because 243 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: you realize how great they are.

Welcome back to Clay and Buck. 261 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: We got Senator Ron Johnson joining us in just a 262 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: few minutes. Fortunately, we've got a big audience up in 263 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: Milwaukee and across the state of Wisconsin. We need all 264 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: of you to mobilize for Senator Johnson because that is 265 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: a critical seat and they are throwing tons of money. 266 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: I mean, he's effective, he's conservative, and so the Libs 267 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: are throwing everything they have at him. Libs are throwing 268 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: everything they can. We'll get to him in just a 269 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: couple of minutes here, but you know, first, Clay Mark Cuban. Mark, 270 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: you occasionally you have these people who are Democrat or 271 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: left of center or whatever who have this moment of 272 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: clarity where they go, wait a second, you mean that 273 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: the shining lights of the Democrat Party are a bunch 274 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: of hypocritical, disingenuous commies. Yes, it turns out here is 275 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: Mark Cuban. I don't mind being taxed more. I wrote 276 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: a block twenty years ago saying it's the most patriotic 277 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: thing you can do after military services, pay your taxes 278 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: because that's what allows everybody you know, to live and 279 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: to prosper. But yeah, the idea of just soaked the 280 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: rich billionaire tears tears that sell that cup. Screw you 281 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: with Elizabeth Warren, You're everything wrong with politics. Screw you, 282 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren, You're everything wrong with politics. Look, Mark Cuban 283 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: and I have feuded back and forth occasionally on Twitter 284 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: over the NBA's refusal to say a single negative word 285 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: about China, despite the fact that they rip American institutions 286 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: to shreds. So he's wrong on that. I mean, basically, 287 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: he's making a capitalistic business decision not to anger China 288 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: and critical angering people. Yeah, certainly wildly hypocritical. But he's 289 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: right about Elizabeth Warren, I mean, and and good credit 290 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: to him for speaking out. She I still can't believe 291 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: she's even allowed to be in office after getting caught 292 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: lying about being a Native American like she did. Given 293 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: all of the racial politics that the Democrat Party is 294 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: obsessed with, lying about being a minority and profiting off 295 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: of it for decades is to me should be totally 296 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: disqualifying for you to be able to hold any position 297 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: of power in the Democrat party. Of course they just 298 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: pretend it doesn't exist. But Pocahonas shouldn't be able to 299 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: actually have a job in the Democrats if they truly 300 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: held themselves to the standard they claimed to hold everyone too. Cli, 301 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? She had a great recipe 302 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: in pow wow chow. And it's just the millionaires and 303 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: the billionaires who don't want to pay their taxes. She 304 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: is among the biggest phonies in politics. The beer video 305 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: that she did you want to have a beer? Remember 306 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: when she was in her in her kitchen, like having 307 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: a me a beer? Oh yeah, that woman hadn't ordered 308 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: a beer in decades, let me tell you. And then 309 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: her husband walked in and she was like, do you 310 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 1: want to beer? Like they just sit around pounding beers 311 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: left and right in her Harvard town home. Look, if 312 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: the pandemic wasn't disruptive and enough for business owners, how 313 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: about inflation.

Appreciate you joining us, Senator, and I want 332 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: to jump right in. There seems to be a lot 333 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: of smoke suddenly around the Hunter Biden story that many 334 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: of us have known was one hundred percent legitimate for 335 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: essentially two years now, since this story came out in 336 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: October of twenty twenty. And I know you talked about 337 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: this a little bit with us recently, but I want 338 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: to dive into it with you again. You were briefed 339 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: by somebody at the FBI. Senator and you can correct 340 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong on this. Who was trying to 341 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: tell you that the Hunter Biden story was Russian disinformation 342 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: as you were investigating and examining it. And it sounds 343 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: like the same kind of briefing that Facebook got, Mark 344 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: Zuckerberg said on Joe Rogan's podcast recently. This appears to 345 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: have been a concerted effort inside the FBI to keep 346 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: this from being a story and discourage anyone who was 347 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: asking questions about it at all. What more do you 348 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: know about this story and what can you tell us? 349 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: First of all, I think it's bigger and broader than that. 350 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean, we had literally an intelligence product produced out 351 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: of hold colost that accused Senor Grassy Eye of listening 352 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: and disseminating Russian disinformation from a guy I had never 353 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: heard of, Andrey dirk Ostion. This was actually published in 354 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: February inside the CIA's little newsletter, classified newsletter, and it 355 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: was of course leaked to the press smearras. So this 356 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 1: is a February twenty twenty, you know, right during COVID 357 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 1: is it's starting up, and so we continue to be 358 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: accused of disseminating Russian disinformation. So, now that we know 359 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: from whistleblowers Senator Grasslews office, the FBI had developed a 360 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: scheme in August of twenty twenty to downplay the dragatory 361 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: information basically D sixty investigation now will come to that briefing. 362 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: On August six, I was walking back from a vote. 363 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: My staff all of a sudden walks up to me 364 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: and I'll send you got a briefly with the FBI? 365 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: What's this about? What I want to talk to you? 366 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: So I go down there and it's a completely bs briefing. 367 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: Said you didn't really say anything sly about Hunter. Biden 368 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: just said that we're a target or Russian disinformation. I 369 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: kind of look at him like duh, I mean, is 370 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: there any intelligence to back up this briefing? Why'd you 371 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: call this? And they had nothing, And so that's that's 372 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: why knew was a setup. And I asked them there 373 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: who directed this briefing? Guys? Two years later, we've done 374 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: multiple public letters asking Christopher ray, Merritt, Garland, the d 375 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: and I who directed that briefing. We still don't know 376 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: now it was a setup because nine months later it 377 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: was leaked to the Washington Post where they did a 378 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: hit piece on me having been briefed that I was 379 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: targeted by rushing disinformation. Again, so it's much larger than 380 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: what just the FBI involvement. By the way, who do 381 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: you think coordinated? And I have no evidence of this, 382 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: but they're just write who do you think coordinated? The 383 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: writing of that letter by fifty one form intelligence officials 384 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: to trash the Hunter Biden laptop said that it would 385 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 1: have the earmarks of a Russian information operation. So that 386 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: letter was an information operation. And by the way, the 387 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: FBI and intels its officials and the news media interfered 388 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: in our twenty twenty election to a far greater extent 389 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: than anything Russia or China or any other foreign power 390 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: could ever hope to a chain in. They're just not 391 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 1: willing to open up, you know, they're not willing to 392 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: own up to it and admit it. We're speaking of 393 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Senator part of any well, 394 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna have any hope of getting real oversight and 395 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: and some real answers about what's gone on with the 396 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: FBI with regard to Hunter Biden, the DJ Marlago rate, 397 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: a whole range of issues. Got to have a Republican 398 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: majority in the Senate for the Senate to be able 399 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: to do those kinds of fact finding missions. Your opponent, 400 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: Mandela Barnes, what do we need to know about this 401 00:22:54,280 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: individual's record and what's going to be different if you 402 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: were to look what's the top of the agenda? Shall 403 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: I put it that way for you versus Mandela Barnes. Well, 404 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: he's a radical leftist in Chief's quothing. He's in hiding. 405 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: He's taking a page out of Biden's playbook, and he's 406 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: just staying away from the press. No interviews, no access 407 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: to no no answers to questions. But we do know 408 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: that he thinks the founding of America was offen. He 409 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: thinks our national parks are racist. I guess Old Faithful 410 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: is racist. You know again he is. He is a 411 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: radical leftist. He's he's for gun registration at upset to 412 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: people that value the Second Amendment in Wisconsin, that's for sure. 413 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: He claims he really doesn't want to defund the police, 414 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: although he said everything but that he's supported by the 415 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: groups that lead the effort to defund police, says he 416 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: doesn't want to abolish ice. Always got a big old 417 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: picture of him with a smile in his face holding 418 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: up a T shirt that says abolish Ice. So again, 419 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: he can't be honest with Wisconsin voters. But the guys, 420 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: I'm up against a huge challenge here. If we had 421 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: an honest media, it's not a level playing field. I mean, 422 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 1: I've got a media trying to take me out for 423 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 1: two years. But just think about I said about the FBI. 424 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: They sneered me in May twenty twenty one, and so 425 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: their people in Wisconsin think I'm some kind of tool 426 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: of Vladimir Prutin. Nothing could be further from the truth. 427 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: So the FBI now only impacted the twenty twenty election, 428 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: but they're impacting the twenty twenty two Wisconsin US sending 429 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: an election as well. So this corruption in our agencies 430 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: needs to be exposed. The American people deserve the truth. 431 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 1: And you're right. If I get reelected and we have 432 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: a majority, I'll be this chairman of the Permanent Subcommand Investigation. 433 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: I'll be like a mosquito in a newdist Columny. It'll 434 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: be a target rich environment. But I'm going to need 435 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: help Ron Johnson Senate dot com. They've already spent more 436 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: than fifty million dollars sneering me, lying about lying about me, 437 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: assassin and my character. Plus they got the mainstream media 438 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: in their corner, and that support is priceless to them. Senator, 439 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: You've said this before, but I think it's important. We're 440 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: number one in Milwaukee, We've got a massive audience all 441 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: over your state. We're talking about a fine razor's edge 442 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: decision here for the people of Wisconsin. This is gonna 443 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: be a close race. What would you tell people out there? 444 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: They may be your supporters, but there's a lot of 445 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: independent people to your point, who may not pay a 446 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: lot of attention on a day to day basis. They 447 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: know that you have been and I think it's fair 448 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: to say targeted by the same people who tried to 449 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: target President Trump in twenty twenty. There are a lot 450 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: of people who don't want you asking those questions in 451 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: the Senate. What would you tell your supporters to tell 452 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: people who may not know enough about you, what they 453 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: can say to help get more supporters in this tent, 454 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: given how close this election is going to be, well, 455 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: first of all, talk about the main issues that are 456 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: concerning wisconsinized. I mean it is for to your high 457 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: inflation record, gasoline prices rising, criming, we don't have enough 458 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: baby formula. You have the open borders, which creates the 459 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: lanes for the deadly drugs killing our citizens. I saw 460 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: those issues that Democrats cannot talk about. They can't defend 461 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: their records. So all they have our lives, character assassination, 462 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: and the politics personal destruction. So in terms of defending myself, 463 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: I've got a pretty good record of accomplishment in the US. 464 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: And I'm the guy that made sure that more than 465 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: twenty million business tax filers got a tax cut without me, 466 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: only five cent American businesses the sea corps who have 467 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: got a tax cut. I'm the guy because I'm a 468 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: private sector guy. I'm a small business guy. I recognize that, 469 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: and dug my heels in until that happened. The champion 470 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: of rights try law, which is saving people's lives. And 471 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: you know, we're doing something Wisconsin called the Joseph Project, 472 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: which is transforming lives people formerly incarcerated drug and alcohol 473 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: abusers by getting them good paying jobs and manufacturing and 474 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: it's transform their lives. So I've a I've got a 475 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: great track record. I am what you really want in 476 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: a member of Congress. I lived full life, raised a family, 477 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: had for a career in manufacturing any ship jobs overseas 478 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: high ship plastics to China. Okay, I'm an account. We're 479 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: thirty point eight trillion dollars in debt. You need somebody 480 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: that understands numbers. Not enough people here do that. And 481 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: you also need somebody who has the courage to help 482 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: people the truth relentlessly. So again, I you know, I 483 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: think the choice is quite obvious. But Mandel Barnes is 484 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: going to hide from Wisconsin. It's who he is, and 485 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: the mainstream media is going to back him all the way. 486 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson, where can people go to help out? Donate, 487 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 1: do what they can, Ron Johnson percentate dot com And 488 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: if you want to find out the truth with facts 489 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: dot com, wis facts I write. If all the rebuttals 490 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: to the major lies, it's kind of hard to keep 491 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: track of all of them. But Ron Johnson percentate dot 492 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 1: com And again they've spent well over fifty million dollars 493 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: smearing me and lying about me. So I'm gonna need 494 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: this vast to help to come to those lies. Well, 495 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: you got a lot of Wisconsin Iites listening now, and 496 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: I think they recognize how important is that we keep 497 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: you in the Senate.

With each mortgage free home, 503 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: the Ton of the Towers Foundation delivers on its promise 504 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: to do good, never forget to sacrifices America's heroes and 505 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: made for us.

I was going to tell people this. A 527 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: sexton is like a baker or a mason. It is 528 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: a job which people don't The sexton is the is 529 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: the non clerical at basically the civilian, if you will, 530 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: who helps in a church, the person who collects money. 531 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: In previous times, sometimes the sexton would be the fellow 532 00:29:54,400 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: who digs up for diggs for graves, So a grave 533 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: digger could be another way of so I'm just saying 534 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: it's a common last name. Yeah, it's a common last name. 535 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: But we had him on talk about crime in Tennessee. Um, 536 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: and uh yeah, there's there's some other great moments in 537 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: the show, but you'll miss them unless you subscribe to 538 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: the Clay and Buck podcast. Please do check it out. 539 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: By the way, Clay, I just saw on Fox where 540 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: you work, they ran a preview of a segment coming up. 541 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: I guess they're gonna talk about the by U story 542 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: and there's a jumping to conclusions. Question Mark, Now, who's 543 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: jumping to the conclusions? Of course, we don't know. It's 544 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: left Ah, that's what we call it. Perhaps the conclusions 545 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: were jumped to by the initial media, and what we're 546 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: doing here is straightening out the story a bit. But yeah, man, 547 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm on the h I'm on the submarine with Clay 548 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: on this one. So if we take some incoming, it's 549 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: gonna be already taking it. I mean, USA Today called 550 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: me a right wing extremist for saying, hey, can we 551 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: just have a single bit of corroborating evidence to the 552 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: allegation that BYU fans were screaming racial slurs at a 553 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: black women's basket volleyball player at Duke just one. Speaking 554 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: of corroborating evidence, you want corroborating evidence, buck that Ron 555 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: Johnson's opponent in that Senate race, is running from his 556 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: past statements. He claimed he was too busy to make 557 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: it to Joe Biden's rally in the state of Wisconsin. 558 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: This is a guy who's basically called to defund the 559 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: police the Democrat nominee in Wisconsin. The President of the 560 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: United States comes to campaign in your state. You are 561 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: the Senate nominee in that state, and you say you're 562 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,040 Speaker 1: too busy to show up at his rally. Look, you're 563 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: trying to hide from your connection to Joe Biden. And 564 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: also you're he's far more radical than even Joe Biden 565 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: would be. But this is a pretty good sign that 566 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden made too popular in Wisconsin when the Democrats 567 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: Senate nominee won't show up at his rally. So we're 568 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: telling you this because the rest of the media, obviously 569 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: other than our fellow conservatives on radio and at Fox, 570 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: they're not going to tell you about this. But that 571 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: still was a reminder for all of us, or we 572 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: still should be reminded. It's got to be pedal to 573 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 1: the medal. That Wisconsin race. It shouldn't be close. It's 574 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 1: important the margins matter too. You know, Governor Rhonda Santis, 575 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: for example, is running in Florida. If he doesn't have 576 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: the biggest win of any governor in that state, any 577 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,880 Speaker 1: Republican governor in like living memory, that's just not the 578 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: proper outcome. I mean, he's gotten a huge switch and 579 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: voter registration of that state. I just used that as 580 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: one example, about a half a million vote swing. They 581 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: used to have plus two hundred and fifty thousand Democrats 582 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: registered in Florida. Now under Jasantis's tenure, it's about two 583 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: fifty two hundred and fifty thousand plus Republican. But I mean, 584 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: I want to see him win by you know, it'd 585 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: be great if you could do double digits, but certainly amazing. 586 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: I mean I'd be amazing, but certainly six or seven 587 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: points something really resounding for a state that you know, 588 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: it used to be, Oh, who's gonna win Florida. That's 589 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: who's gonna win the national election for the presidency. We 590 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: all remember two thousand oh Speaking of states, Stacy Abrams 591 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: in the state of Georgia She's having a rough one 592 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,400 Speaker 1: right now. Clay the New York Times, Democrats fret as 593 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams struggles in Georgia's governor race. She has been 594 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: trailing her Republican rival, Bryant Governor Bryant Kemp, alarming Democrats 595 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: who have celebrated her as the master strategist behind the 596 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: state's democratic shift. It's just up on the New York Times. 597 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: A lot of wealthy hedge fund managers in New York 598 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: and a lot of wealthy producers in Santa Monica are 599 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: gonna be really upset if Stacy Abrams isn't the governor 600 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: of Georgia. Isn't that interesting? I think she's gonna lose 601 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: by five, six seven points to Brian Kemp in Georgia. 602 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: This is going to be significant because remember she refused 603 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: to concede when she lost by fifty thousand votes in 604 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. It's also significant everybody out there listening in 605 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: Georgia to us right now. Not only does Brian Kemp 606 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: need to win reelection and defeat Stacy Abrams for a 607 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: second time, this time basically letting it be known that 608 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: she is like the Beato of Georgia. She just runs 609 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: for office. Everybody loves her nationally and just gets her 610 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: ass kicked over and over again. But for the Stacy 611 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 1: Abrams campaign, they are not only nervous about her buck. 612 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: They're nervous because how many people are actually going to 613 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 1: split their ballot? If I'm right, and let's say that 614 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: Brian Kemp is gonna win by five or six points, 615 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: do you really think that the Reverend Raphael Warnock is 616 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: going to be able to overcome that? There are going 617 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: to be that many Republicans out there who vote for 618 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: Brian Kemp and our independent voters. Brian Kemp and Warnock. 619 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: Incumbency is powerful, but not that powerful. I think Brian 620 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: Kemp is going to beat Stacy Abrams so bad that 621 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: herschel Walker is also going to benefit from Kemp's dominance 622 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: and will beat the Reverend Raphael Warnock. And that's the 623 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,759 Speaker 1: underlying story there. They're not only nervous buck about Stacy Abrahams, 624 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 1: They're nervous because they are starting to see the tea leaves. 625 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: The last two poles that have come out have shown 626 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: herschel Walker in the league. And you know, Claire, we 627 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: got that great pickup meeting a radio station. Now is 628 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: going to be running the show in Reno as of yesterday. 629 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: We gave them a shout out, welcome to that whole audience, 630 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: and we thank the station for putting us on Nevada 631 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 1: critical Senate race out there that's not really getting the 632 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: headlines right now. But Adam Laxol, a very solid candidate, 633 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:00,320 Speaker 1: a very smart guy, is running out there, and we 634 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: should get him on the show too. So because we 635 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: want the people of Nevada to hear it what the 636 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 1: choice really is, because if they're reading the I don't know. 637 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: I don't even know what the papers are out you know, 638 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: the Las Vegas is the Las Vegas Tribute Currier journal 639 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: I think the Las Vegas Currier Jommstad. They are the 640 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: state that is most likely to flip from blue to red, 641 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 1: I think in terms of one that hasn't traditionally done 642 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: it in twenty twenty four. The governor's race out there 643 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: and the Senate race, and we all our listeners are 644 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: the force multipliers of truth. They hear it here, they 645 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: hear from aust They hear from the candidates that they 646 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: can go out tell their neighbors, their colleagues, they're friends. Hey, 647 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: we don't want our state to get California. So let's 648 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: actually make the right decision this election. Fleet Travis and 649 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth
