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 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in. We are rolling into the

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Friday edition of the program. We hope all of you

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: are having good early starts to your weekend, and we

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: want to have some fun with you as we bring truth, sanity,

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: and justice in the American Way to the masses across

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: this great land. I am Clay Travis, he is Buck Sexton,

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: and we have got good news on the horizon as

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: it pertains to the Senate battle grounds forty six days out.

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: Adam Laxalt, who I believe and Buck believes will be

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: the next Senator from the great state of Nevada, is

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: going to be with us in the third hour of

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: the program. New polls that are out putting him in

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: the lead to potentially knock out a Democrat seat there

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: if you consider herschel Walker as well. There is now

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: strong evidence, regardless of what might happen in Pence Sylvania,

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: that Republicans have a very good chance at minimum to

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: pick up two seats, which would help to alleviate even

19
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: if there were one lost, which we don't think there's

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: necessarily going to be. But all of that is coming

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: and is a big deal and big news in a

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: positive way. What is not positive, unfortunately, if you break

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: down everything that is going on right now, what is

24
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: not positive is that we are in a situation now where, unfortunately,

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: the stock market has now dropped below thirty thousand for

26
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: the first time since all the way back in twenty

27
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: You also are now dealing with surging mortgage rates which

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: are well over six percent on the thirty year, and

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: inflation remains near a forty year high. As was said

30
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety two by the ragin Cajun James Carvill,

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: it's the economy stupid. Also, not just the economy, we

32
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: also have murders and violent crime continuing to surge across

33
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: the country in twenty twenty two, skyrocketing since twenty nineteen,

34
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: and the border is an unmitigated disaster that is impossible

35
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: to defend. Rhonda Santis has made it a major topic

36
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 1: of discussion. All of these things in a basket are

37
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: massive issues and point towards what is occurring right now.

38
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: As we sit forty six days out buck, it feels

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: like everybody is circling back around and the focus is

40
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: moving from Donald Trump and whatever happens with mar Lago

41
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: and whatever criminal investigations or civil investigations might be going on,

42
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: Everything is moving off of Trump. It feels like abortion

43
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: is receiving substantially. It's the economy, it's the border, and

44
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: it's crime, which is what is captivating most of the

45
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: American electorate. And yeah, I worry Clay about the GOP

46
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: as an entity and its ability to really focus in

47
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: and make the case in these final weeks. I mean

48
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: you probably saw this morning Minority Leader McCarthy unveiling the

49
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Commitment to America, which to me, I understand, contract with America.

50
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: You know, I understand there's a history here of that

51
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: they're trying to harken back to. But notice the other side.

52
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: We'll just call the the Green New Deal spending extravaganza

53
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: and higher IRS bill, the Anti Inflation Act, right, the

54
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act, and we call our you know, at

55
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: this moment in time, the GOP rolls out the commitment

56
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: to America, we kind of assume if you're an elected official,

57
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be committed to America. You know, when

58
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: Biden rolled out his two trillion dollars spending binge, what

59
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: did they call that? One point nine trillion dollars for

60
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: the fact checkers, the American Rescue Plan, right, the sense

61
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: of either urgency or defiant propaganda in what they put

62
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: forward versus our side's kind of like, yeah, we're gonna

63
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: reduce taxes and deregulate, and you know it's no, no,

64
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: we are going to turn around the cratering economy, the reckless, insane,

65
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: lawless border and make it safe for you, your family,

66
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: your business, your community to exist without crime, public urination,

67
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: drugs everywhere, lunatics running around naked throwing things at you.

68
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: That's the GOP has got to understand what time it is.

69
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: And I think there are some candidates who do. I

70
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: think we look in on the for example, the doctor

71
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: os Federman Race, doctor Oz. He's got a plan, he's executing,

72
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: He's out there, he's going for it. Right. I think

73
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna Adam laxalt On. Let's talk to him about

74
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: how he is in a I mean with the latest

75
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: polls what we have here basically tied dead heat. The

76
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: latest poll that I see here has he's up in

77
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: the two most recent polls that just came out, I

78
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: mean within the margin of error, right, So it's forty

79
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: seven forty six against Cortez Mastro. So yeah, he's up

80
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: a point, but you know, a point is not enough

81
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: to feel particularly confident on Kelly, Senator Kelly and Masters

82
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: again within the margin, right within the margin of vera,

83
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: which I think is two points forty eight forty seven.

84
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Warnock Walker tied in the poll forty six forty six.

85
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: So every single one of these races, you know, it

86
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: turns you know what, Clay, Actually, you'll like this. Remember

87
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: that speech. It's really the most memorable part of any

88
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: given Sunday that al Pacino gave me an inch. He's like,

89
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: you gotta fight for every inch, and you gotta look

90
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: at the guy next to you. It's the difference between

91
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: winning and losing. Pretty much every GOP staff right now

92
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: in all these campaigns should have that playing on in

93
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: the background because Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and we can't

94
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: even focus in on all the house races that are

95
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: there's some close house races here in New York that

96
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: could go either way. For example, we got to win

97
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: these ones, Clay, and we got to focus on what matters,

98
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: and people got to they have to be reminded it's

99
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: not enough for the headlines. They have to be reminded

100
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: of how we got here. Bad Democrat leadership. Yeah, and

101
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: I think in particular on the economy, the graphs kind

102
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: of speak for themselves. We have dropped unfortunately today the

103
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: stock markets down another four hundred and five hundred points.

104
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: We have dropped now below where we were in December

105
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty. So if you were a huge Democrat,

106
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: and if you said, thank the Lord, we've got Donald

107
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: Trump out of office. Now the adults are back in

108
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: the room, and you had poured all of your money

109
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: into the stock market on January twenty twentieth or twenty

110
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: first of twenty twenty one, when Joe Biden got inaugurated,

111
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: you would have lost a lot of money now, and

112
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: that's relatively rare buck where you have somebody come into

113
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: office for two years the stock market be down right

114
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: over time, stock market goes up. But we have created

115
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: such a bad economic situation with Joe Biden in the

116
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: White House, with the money that has been spent, with

117
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: the lack of prioritizing things that matter, and now I

118
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: think we're going to have Frankly, and I hate to

119
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: say it, but I think twenty twenty three is going

120
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: to be an economic disaster of a year. I really do,

121
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: and I think that a lot of the worst of

122
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden economy, unfortunately buck is not going to

123
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: hit in time for this mid term. We're going to

124
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: get a lot of it in November, December, and then

125
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: all into early parts of twenty twenty three. It's going

126
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: to be really bad. They're very clearly hoping that they

127
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: can just just hold on for dear life here politically

128
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: as the economy. Everyone I talk to everyone, I talk

129
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: to you, the bulls, the bears, the people who know

130
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: Wall Street super well who are usually very pessimistic, and

131
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: the ones who are very optimistic. Everybody that I know.

132
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: I grew up in New York City. My family's a

133
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: Wall Street family. I know tons of people that work

134
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: in the financial sector, and they're saying it's about to

135
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: get ugly out there. Like there's not a single person

136
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: who's saying it's gonna be good, Clay. It's just a

137
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: question of are we going to see unemployment at six percent?

138
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Nine percent? Is you know, where is this heading in

139
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: terms of the damage as as part of this reset.

140
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: Dare I say, and even I mean think about it

141
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: this way. You're in the first you're in the you know,

142
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: the honeymoon period of a presidency is the first six

143
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: to twelve months. We're not even yet at the two

144
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: year mark. And here is the White House's chief spokesperson,

145
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: Karine Jean Pierre, saying, yeah, I mean the President realizes,

146
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: like it's really rough out there right now. So the

147
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: President understands that when it comes to the economy, he

148
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: understands how much that's crushing families. He gets it that

149
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: people are sitting around their kitchen table and trying to

150
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: figure out how are they going to pay for their groceries.

151
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: And so that's why he's made that his number one

152
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: economic priority. If you think about energy costs coming down,

153
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: and you think about the gas prices that we have

154
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: been able to fight so hard because of the President's historic,

155
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: you know, his sorry policies that he's put forward. We

156
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: were able to bring gas prices down about a dollar

157
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: thirty per gallon every day this summer, and so it's

158
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: on his mind. It's on his mind. He knows how

159
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: bad things are. Can I just say, Clay, if we

160
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: were just able to go back in time two years

161
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: and say, hey, a little vision into your future, while

162
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: Joe bidesen Middle Clash out pop down, making everything normal

163
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: and better that his press secretary would be saying, the

164
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: President realizes how much the economy sucks for all the

165
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: American families out there right now. How many people would

166
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: have voted differently, Well, a lot should have. And the

167
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: way that I would describe the economy right now is

168
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: you ever been driving down the road and you think, oh,

169
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: I think I've got a flat tire, and then but

170
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: you're like, you turn the music down and you start listening,

171
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: and your car starts to handle a little bit differently.

172
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: We've got a flat tire, and the question is is

173
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: it going to be one of those flat tires that

174
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: goes flat immediately right? And suddenly the tire starts shredding

175
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: and everything's fallen out in your back window, and you're like, man,

176
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I have time to hardly

177
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: get across the road to pull off on the side

178
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: of the road. That's where we are right now. The

179
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: tire is flat. You can hear it right like you

180
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: can you can, you know, drive in the car. Everybody

181
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: out there who is involved in the economy knows what

182
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: that feels like, and the question is how bad is

183
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: the blowout going to be and how fast is going

184
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: to get here? And certainly for Biden and his administration,

185
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: buck what they're sitting around saying is we want to

186
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: get through the midterms forty six days away before the

187
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: full calamity reveals itself, and we need to distract people

188
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: by going after Donald Trump. We need to distract people

189
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: by talking about abortion, something that's not going to change

190
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: based on the midterm election, and not look at what's

191
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: directly in front of them and react to it. You know,

192
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: I really want everybody to get ready for it. As

193
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: I was saying, I talked to my dad, family members,

194
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: people that I know who are either retired and have

195
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: been in the game we're in the game a long

196
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: time or still in the game, about where this market's

197
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: going and it's going to get rough. I'm talking stock market,

198
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: commodity markets, housing market. Let's go to mortgage rates. Have

Speaker 1: economy weren't enough. Bat there's this word out right now,

227
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: play that the next iteration of the James Bond character

228
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: is going to have quote bigger roles for women and

229
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: a more sensitive That is the word they used, double

230
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: O seven and they say the people that are putting

231
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: this together say that Bond is evolving just as men

232
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: are evolving. I mean, first of all, there are few characters.

233
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: I think James Bond is one of the greatest fictional

234
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: character creations of the of the twentieth century. Ian Fleming

235
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: had a work of genius. You know. He's also the

236
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang guy. He wrote Chitty Chetty Bang

237
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Bang and and Fleming was an actual member of British

238
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: naval Intelligence. Took a small part in Operation Mincemeat, which

239
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: which Netflix made a movie of. Was a faint operation,

240
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: essentially a false informa, a disinformation operation, had to do

241
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: with the British invasion of Sicily. A decent movie, a

242
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: little boring, but Fleming really knew his stuff, Clay, which

243
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: is why the books were such a revolution at the time.

244
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: He came out of the Secret Intelligence Service or the

245
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Naval Intelligence Service, I should say, of World War Two

246
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: and wrote these amazing, amazing novels. I think they've made

247
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: over twenty James Bond movies. I think it's like twenty seven.

248
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: It's been played by seven different actors. I have two

249
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: questions for you, Clay, because of course the wokeness is

250
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: James Bond gonna, you know, be a they character and

251
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: you know who knows right, they may. I don't know

252
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: how much they're gonna ruin this, but I'm gonna. I'm

253
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: put you on the hot seat, sir, before you go

254
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: off and place, you know, tell people who's gonna win

255
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: the sports games this weekend? The best James Bond yet?

256
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: And who should be the next James Bond. Sean Connery

257
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: I think is the best James Bond ever. Um, just

258
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: as an effortless cool persona about him, and so I

259
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: think he was the best Bond. Who should be the

260
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: next James Bond is A that's a really good question. Um.

261
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Can I tell you who's tom top of the running

262
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: right now? Yeah? Give me the give me the list.

263
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: Idris Elba or Idris Elba has been at the top

264
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: of the list for a while. Right now, I think

265
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: he would people have talked about about him in the past,

266
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, the only I actually think he would

267
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: have been a very good James Bond. I think now

268
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: I think he's like maybe late fifties early. I think

269
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: age may be the issue for him getting cast in

270
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: that role. But Tom Hardy, who I think is maybe

271
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: my favorite, my favorite actor to watch period these days,

272
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: did Tom Hardy just enter like a tournament and one

273
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: like randomly right, just as a normal dude, which I

274
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: mean he trains MMA. It's actually jiu jitsu he does.

275
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: He's a jiu jitsu Prazilian jiu jitsu. But I mean

276
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: the fact that he's not only an actor, but he

277
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: is willing to put his face on the line and

278
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: an MMA fight makes me feel like he's kind of

279
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: the perfect James. This is where some of the audience

280
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: who trust my recommendations and watch Peaky Blinders or shouting well, Clay,

281
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: if you and missus Clay would just watch Peaky Blinders,

282
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: I haven't would see the best Tom Hardy performances of

283
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: all time. Football season and me being able to watch

284
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: shows are in constant battle like I'm gonna try to

285
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: watch the new Cobra Kai with my twelve year old

286
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: this weekend. He was like, Dad, not only can we

287
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: go watch football game? You know I'm gonna be in

288
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Knoxville for the Florida Tennessee game. He's like, we can

289
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: catch up on all the Cobra Kis and I'm gonna

290
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: try to catch up on that first. So that's that's

291
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: on the roster right now. Henry Cavill is the other

292
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: guy who's being talked about a lot as a possible Bond.

293
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: What does he play? Like? How would I know him?

294
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: I know that name Superman. He was recasting in the

295
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: DC universe as is it called the multiverse now or

296
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: is that something else he might be? Is he too

297
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: comic multiverse? Is he too pretty? I feel like he

298
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: might be too pretty to be James Bond. I mean

299
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: Sean Count Sean Connery was like a weightlifter and like

300
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: mister the equivalent, like mister America. Good looking guys, but

301
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: I feel like he is almost too pretty if that

302
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: makes sense. Sure, Um, but yeah, you've got Henry Cavill,

303
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: Tom Hardy Jean. Do you know that that was also

304
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: talked about anyway? I'm just I bring this up because,

305
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: first of all, the James Bond novels are amazing. Ian

306
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: Fleming is a genius. He really created the super spy Jean,

307
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: like he created a Jean the way that Bruce Lee

308
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: created the martial arts movie genre, in a way that

309
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: was sort of a global phenomenon. Ian Fleming really created

310
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: the spy genre as a global phenomenon. I hope they

311
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: don't ruin James Bond. That's what well, nobody out there

312
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: is once a woke James Bond, right, I mean, come on,

313
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: did they want did they want all female? Well? Ghostbusters

314
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: Clay No. But a good point. It's people in Hollywood

315
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: may want it, but the audience doesn't want it. And

316
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: at some point, I think the audience matters in a

317
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: big way. Hey, by the way, unfortunately, you may have

318
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: heard us talking about how the economy's tanking, stock market

319
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: hitting a new new lows who going all the way

320
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: back to December, and many of you out there are struggling.

321
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: What else could happen? You got weather related disasters, you

322
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: got all sorts of supply chain issues. Maybe it's time

323
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: to get an emergency food inside of your home and

Speaker 1: my Patriots Supply. Again, this is breakfast, lunch, dinner, drink, snacks,

327

Speaker 1: Twenty percent off. Too good to pass up. It ends soon.

332
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: with Clay and Buck dot com. Clay Travis and Buck

333
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: Sexton on the front Lines, Welcome back in Clay Travis

334
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. We talk about the economy, we talk

335
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: about the border, and we also talk about crime. But

336
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: the fourth thing floating out there that we should be

337
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: talking about a great deal is what occurred and what

338
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: was done in response to COVID And with a lot

339
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: of people going back to school, a lot of moms

340
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: out there, a lot of dads, everybody back in school. Now,

341
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: the fact that they're just going to suddenly say, Oh,

342
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: you don't really need to wear masks anymore. Oh, you

343
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: don't need to really socially distance anymore. Oh, let's just

344
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: pretend that what we told you about COVID doesn't exist

345
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: anymore except doctor Fauci. I think, deep down knows that

346
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: he got it completely wrong. I really do think he's

347
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: cognizant of that, and so he's still trying to fight

348
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: this rearguard action, arguing, yeah, the decision to shut down schools,

349
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: even though we now know the cost associated with that decision,

350
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: even though the loss of learning is all readily apparent,

351
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: generational in nature, even though as Buck and I told

352
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: you would happen, even though we know that the kids

353
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: who had the worst results were the ones who could

354
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: least handle poor results, that is, kids of low socioeconomic backgrounds,

355
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: Fauci is still defending the idea of the lockdowns. Listen

356
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: to this. It's indefensible. He is the worst bureaucrat in

357
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: American history. And this guy really does deserve to face charges.

358
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,239
Speaker 1: It's reason enough to vote Republican in the House or

359
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: Senate races in your jurisdictions, just based on the fact

360
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: that Fauci then be held accountable. Listen, we've talked a

361
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: lot about learning loss in Texas. There were a bunch

362
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: of other consequences of closing into schools down. Were they

363
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: worth it? Yeah, I believe so for a number of reasons.

364
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: First of all, there is this misunderstanding that because children

365
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: do not get a severe disease as a cohort in

366
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: general as the elderly individuals, and those were the underlying conditions,

367
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,239
Speaker 1: we still lost fourteen hundred children. So although you have

368
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: to be aware and not deny that there are deleterious

369
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: consequences for prolonged periods of time for keeping children out

370
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: of school, Remember, the safety of the children is also important.

371
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: I just I can't buck. I can't with this imbecile

372
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: because when you actually look at the data, if you

373
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: look at the data, fourteen hundred kids did not die

374
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: because of COVID, and they didn't die because they went

375
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: to school. It's just a complete and utter wise So

376
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: they're spreading. There are two reasons why Fauci is just

377
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: this much of an aggressive liar, right, I mean, now

378
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: the lies have gone beyond Oh well, maybe there's some

379
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: gray area. He is in Stalinist style rewriting history. I

380
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: mean he is going full Soviet commissar with all the pronounces.

381
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, of course, you know, they would trade offs,

382
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: we had to make and all this other stuff. Okay,

383
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: hold on a second. Here, his whole premise that there

384
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: was a risk of children and keeping them out of

385
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: school was somehow in any way a worthwhile, worthwhile decision

386
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: is belied by the fact that basically every kid in

387
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: the country got COVID. Okay, yeah, so everybody got COVID.

388
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: All children effectively got COVID. There was almost no one

389
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: who believes otherwise. It was estimated by the CDC and

390
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 1: over more than a year ago. So this idea, children

391
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: get this super quickly, and they clear it super quickly.

392
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: But Clay, they kept on putting all these things into

393
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: place without taking into account. Delaying this does nothing. The

394
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: delay of the disease getting to all of these people

395
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: had no effect whatsoever. So why would you incur any

396
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: of these losses? Learning loss, emotional damage, destruction of businesses.

397
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we also did take into account here we're

398
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: suffering through all this economic well, I think the economic

399
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: tsunami that is coming is going to be really rough.

400
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: And yes, it's a lot of Biden policies or nothing,

401
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: but it's also a lot of COVID spending and COVID

402
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: lockdown mania that was global. By the way, this is

403
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: going beyond even just America making the wrong decisions on this.

404
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: Fauci doesn't want to admit he was wrong about everything, Clay,

405
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: That's certainly a part of it. But also I think

406
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: he've used his role. I honestly believe Fauci v his role,

407
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: and he would say it's because I'm a man of

408
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: science and the Democrats are science. He thinks that saving

409
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: Democrats political pain in this midterm election is his duty.

410
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: I think he's convinced himself of that. Yeah, And I'm

411
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: actually surprised that he would fight this battle because my

412
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: expectation buck was that he would say, well, in retrospect,

413
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: hindsight is twenty twenty. But you have to consider where

414
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: we were in March and April of twenty twenty, and

415
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: we wanted to be as careful as we could, and

416
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: so we decided to shut down schools. In retrospect, that

417
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: might not have been the best decision, but and then

418
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: try to pivot and argue most kids were back in

419
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: school by September of twenty twenty. They weren't. You know,

420
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: a lot of kids were still remote schooling in August

421
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: and September of twenty twenty. And that's why so many

422
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: moms in particular, got so fed up up and finally

423
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: let their voices be heard in twenty twenty one, as

424
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: it pertains to Glenn Yunkin, but he's not even trying

425
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: to make that argument, at least not yet. He's still

426
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: trying to argue that this was a justifiable decision based

427
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: on the metrics, and in doing so, he's also conflating

428
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: all these kid deaths when the reality is, and look,

429
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: every child's death is an awful result, right, everybody out there,

430
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say we wish that no

431
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: kids were ever ill. Like, let's be clear, but fourteen

432
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: hundred kids dying with COVID, almost all of those kids

433
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: would have died of something other than COVID. These are

434
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: very ill, very unhealthy kids who also happen to get COVID. Again,

435
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: your kid is more likely to die driving to and

436
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: from school. Your kid is more likely to die drowning

437
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: than they ever were from COVID. And I don't want

438
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: us to only get deep into their unscientific analysis here.

439
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: That's important, clear, and it's just I mean, think of

440
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: it this way. Also, so the children were at home

441
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: where they were cared for by adults. Who overwhelmingly we're

442
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: going to have to go out and live their lives

443
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: and go do jobs anyway. So then they come home

444
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: and they get and you know, COVID has passed on

445
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: to the children in the home, which is where most

446
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: of the COVID spread that kids. The whole thing makes

447
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: no sense scientifically if you just think it through. But

448
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: beyond that, Clay, they bent the knee to the teachers

449
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: unions when the data was clear. And that's the part

450
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: of this. That's why I keep saying immigration the economy crime, right,

451
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: This is the mantra, Immigration the economy crime, and whichever

452
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: order somebody wants. School closures need to be on that list.

453
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: Who are really just schools in general, The indoctrination of children,

454
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: the bizarre attempt by the left to push not just

455
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: transgender ideology on very young children, but the sexualization of

456
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: very young children, These dragged shows that keep popping up

457
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: all over the country. All of that stuff, including at

458
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: schools by the way that I dragged Queen Story Hours,

459
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: all of that stuff needs to be taken into account.

460
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: Here Fauci did the bidding of Randy Wine Garden. The

461
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: Democrat Party is beholden to the teachers unions for donations

462
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: and political muscle, and millions and millions of kids, particularly

463
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: low income minority kids, suffered as a result. The teachers

464
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: union sold out kids, and the Democrat Party was the

465
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: instrument of that sellout. And if you want to go

466
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: through all of Trump's twenty twenty election campaign, that to

467
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: me is his biggest whiff if you could go back

468
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: in time. And that's what I was trying to beat

469
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: the drum on. He kind of argued in favor of

470
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: opening up schools, but he didn't do it aggressively enough,

471
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: and there was an opportunity there, I think, to win

472
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: a lot of suburban moms over that issue. But if

473
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: we're the coaches at halftime for Team Trump, the COVID

474
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: response wasn't great, folks. You know, I know people, Oh,

475
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: I did everything the opposite of fout. You said that

476
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: is not true. Oh you know. You know. The one

477
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: thing I said to Trump and Maya twenty twenty in

478
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: the Oval office is sir, we gotta get rid of

479
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: these lockdowns. We gotta get rid of this craziness. Now.

480
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: To be fair, he didn't do bad things at the

481
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: federal level. It will then became the states that did

482
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: the craziest stuff New York, California, etc. But you know

483
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: there was room four again coaching the team that I

484
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: want to see win. There was room for improvement on

485
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: COVID response. I think, specifically, Clay to your point, I

486
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: mean the Republicans should have been the open schools party,

487
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 1: full sets right across the board July of twenty twenty.

488
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: The number one goal of Republican Party should have been

489
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: every school needs to open all over the country. Frankly,

490
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 1: like the Santis did down in Florida. And if he

491
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: had run that campaign, I do think he would have

492
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: been reelected, no matter how much should get Shenanigan's Democrats

493
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: are trying to pull. If you own a business, I'm

494
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: sure you could use a break. Past several years been

495
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: really rough. If your business has five or more employees

496
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: and managed to survive COVID, you could be eligible to

497
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: receive a payroll tax rebate of up to twenty six

498

535
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: That's because we've also got lines lit a lot of people. Man,

536
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: we've got so much more show than we have time

537
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: for today. We're gonna get through as much as we can.

538
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: We'll start with this one from Linda. She writes, HI,

539
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: love the show and never miss it. So Linda is

540
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: a woman of excellent taste, and she's a paid no doubt.

541
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: I just have a simple question. Since Buck is a

542
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: native New Yorker and Clay is from Tennessee, why is

543
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: it that neither of you have the distinctive accents from

544
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: your part of the country. Just wondering, keep up the

545
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: great work. I will answer from the New York perspective,

546
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: and then Clay you can tell her about Tennessee. So

547
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: New York just like London those you know, London is

548
00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: a metropolis with many accents contained within it. So what

549
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: people often think of Fauci, for example, Fauci actually has

550
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: a Brooklyn accent, which is a little similar to a

551
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: Staten Island accent but different, which is similar to a

552
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: New Jersey accent but different. There are different and by

553
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: the way, a lot of people in New Jersey at

554
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: Staten Island don't have those accents either, But those are

555
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: the regional specializations you get with those accents. In Manhattan,

556
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: where I grew up, there is no accent we have

557
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: whatever there's you know, the sort of broadcaster neutral mid

558
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: Atlantic accent is supposed to be. That's what I meant,

559
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: So I have a Manhattan accent. If anyone's wondering Clay,

560
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: what about you I attributed to when my voice changed.

561
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: I went to a school Martin Luther King in downtown

562
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: Nashville that had kids from all over the place, and

563
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: there was not a predominant Southern accent there. I would

564
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: say in the central part of Nashville, there's less maybe

565
00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: somewhat similar, there's less of an accent. My parents. We

566
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: had my mom on the show. I don't think we've

567
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: had my dad on the show yet. But they have

568
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: deep disc awesome like she should read, she should read

569
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: books written about Tennessee on tape because your mom's accent

570
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: is off. They have very very deep Southern accent. So

571
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: I think I had a Southern accent before my voice changed.

572
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: But then when you're you know, eleven, twelve, thirteen years old,

573
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: you sound like the kids ultimately that you're around. And

574
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: that's what I attribute not having an accent to. I

575
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: also think one of the things that's that's interesting about

576
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: accents in general, everybody thinks they don't have an accent,

577
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: and then when they actually hear themselves, you know, you

578
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: know how people get really uncomfortable if we're used to it,

579
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: because we hear our voices, we know what they sound

580
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: like you don't ever sound like what you think you

581
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: sound like. Does that make sense if you've got done

582
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: television before, or if you haven't done radio and you

583
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: go back and listen to it, the pitch in your

584
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: ear is different than the pitch that expels itself for

585
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: everyone else to be able to hear. Because I used

586
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: to hear from people all the time. I don't have

587
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: an accent, and like, actually, you got pretty strong accent.

588
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: And I would love when I went away to college

589
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: in DC. I would come back to Nashville and everybody

590
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: would sound like they had a super Southern accent. And

591
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 1: I could pick up a Southern accent on anybody. It's

592
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: usually the letter oh, if you've grown up in the

593
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: South at all, just even if you don't have much

594
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: of one, you can tell a little bit of a

595

Speaker 1: Just draw that out there. But no, I mean, Claid,

615
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: I joke around about this a little bit. And you know,

616
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: we don't want to get to you know who we

617
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: have to have on. You know who the expert is

618
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: in congressional rankings in Jesse Jesse does it? Our friend

619
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly. So we can have Jesse Kelly on because

620
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: you will have a group of I'm not trying to

621
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: be sexist just objectively, some of the best looking female

622
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: politicians you have ever seen in this in this country

623
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 1: or any country coming in all on the Republican side,

624
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: as far as I know, I don't know if any

625
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: of the Democrats I'd put in that category right now

626
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, and they're all friends

627
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: of ours. Yeah, and he might say, Okay, what's the

628
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: significance of that. A big reason for AOC's appeal is

629
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: she's an Instagram influencer who happened to get elected to Congress.

630
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: She's young and good looking. They're going to be if

631
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: you look at some of these polls coming out, a

632
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: lot of young, vibrant, good looking Republican women who I

633
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: think are going to be able to go toe to

634
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: toe with AOC. And AOC's not going to get as

635
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: much attention off being the youngest and best looking in Congress,

636
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: which frankly she does. Beauty is a form of power,

637
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: Despite what the Left says, they actually use it all

638
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: the time and was a form of power, and in

639
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: our Instagram and social media obsessed world, it is now

640
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 1: more powerful in politics than ever before. I mean, you

641
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: go back to like the eighteen eighties politicians, they all

642
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: have like giant mutton chops, and they were not looking

643
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: who No, no one cared, right, it didn't matter now,

644
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously there's a lot of things that were

645
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: different to gud you. Then now people actually get a

646
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: real advantage from this, A lot of politicians on the right,

647
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: politicians on the left, you know, men and women both.

648
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the reason Kennedy got elected to a large

649
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: extent was because he was incredibly good looking. I mean,

650
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: to your example, that great perfect historical residence Nixon versus Kennedy.

651
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: Nixon wins for everybody who listens on the radio. Kennedy

652
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: smoked him for everybody who watched it on television, same

653
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: exact words. Just what is It's funny though, because our

654
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: conservative like female members of Congress, when guys on the

655
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: right are like, wow, yeah, this is a very beautiful

656
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: woman and very accomplished, they take it as a compliment. Clay.

657
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: You and I know if I say any left wingers

658
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: are hot, oh my gosh, media matters coming after me.

659
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: Dare you judge? The buck Fleet, Travis and Buck Sexton

660
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: on the front lines of
