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 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in, and I say welcome

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: back in, Welcome in the first start of the week. Here.

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: I feel like we're constantly talking with all of you.

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: I know Buck does as well. We love being able

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: to hang out with you for three hours every single day,

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: especially when we enter into the start of a new

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: week and we are officially thirty six days. Tomorrow will

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: be five weeks to the day from the mid term.

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: Some of you are already in states where you can

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: cast your ballot. Some of you may have already gone

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: in and voted, and certainly we think all of you

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: who are doing so. And I gotta tell you, Buck

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: got a bunch to dive into. We'll give you the

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: latest on Hurricane in and it's aftermath and the attempt

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: which is aggressive now to come after Ron de Santis

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: and probably Marco Rubio and everybody running as Republican exactly

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: as we said they would last week, irrespect, before the

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: hurricane even hit, we were saying, get ready, they're gonna

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: come after Ron Desis. This is their hell, Mary move Buck.

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: They have gone after De Santis for two years, for

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: every decision that he has made as governor, everybody overwhelmingly

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: has decided that they liked the choices that he is

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: making in terms of people choosing to move from one

25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: state to another. A poll came out today that has

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis up eight points right now in Florida.

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: He won election by around thirty thousand votes. I think

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: it was buck less than a percent in twenty eighteen

29
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: and one of the most consequential governor elections of all time.

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: And so there is in the left wing media right

31
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: now a desperate attempt, a hell Mary like attempt, thirty

32
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: six days out to try and use this hurricane to

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: damage and drag down Roun de Santis, because otherwise, otherwise

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: this is a referendum on De Santis's leadership during COVID,

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: and he is going to go from a guy who

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: was elected governor by less than one percent to according

37
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: to this most recent poll, winning by eight. Maybe he

38
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: could win by ten, maybe he could even win by

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: twelve in a state where, as you well know, buck

40
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: typically the state of Florida is decided, has been for

41
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: much of the twenty first century on a razor's edge,

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: as it pertains to Democrat or Republican support. Rhonda Santis

43
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: has done what many said was improbable, if not impossible.

44
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: He's made Florida red state, and he has almost taken

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: it off the board. I really believe this. In twenty

46
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: twenty four, Trump won Florida by around three points, de

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Santis potentially going to win by eight to ten, and

48
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: they're coming after him. Why do you stand behind Lee

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: County's decision to not have that mandatory evacuation until the

50
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: day before the storm? Well, did you where was your

51
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: industry station when the storm hit? Were you guys in

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: Lee County? No, you ran Tampa, So that's you know,

53
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: they were following the weather track and they had to

54
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: make decisions based on that. But you know, seventy two

55
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 1: hours they weren't even in the cone. Forty eight hours,

56
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: they were on the periphery. So you got to make

57
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: the decisions the best you can. I think part of

58
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: it was so much attention was paid to Tampa that

59
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: I think a lot of them probably thought that they

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't get the worst of it, so you know, they

61
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: but they did. And I think it's it's easy to

62
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: second guess them, but they were ready for the whole

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: time and made that call when when they were justifiable

64
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: to do so. Everything he said about his response play

65
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: has shown command of the facts, poise. He's on it.

66
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: There's no there's no reason to believe that he hasn't

67
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: been on at every stage. But we knew that this

68
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: is an opportunity. A natural disaster, a catastrophe with loss

69
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: of life and billions of dollars of loss of property

70
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for Democrats, unfortunately that they are taking

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: here to score the cheapest of political points. I'd remind

72
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: everybody you brought up the twenty eighteen election and how

73
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: rohnd Dea Santis has now turned Florida into a red state,

74
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: not super red, but a red state over the course

75
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: of four years. They wanted Andrew Gillham to be the

76
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: governor of Florida. Andrew Gillham, who in June of twenty

77
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: twenty two was indicted and faces decades in prison on

78
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: wire fraud making false statement. That's who they wanted in charge.

79
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: The former mayor of Tallahassee. Not to mention the whole

80
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: hotel incident with the drug overdose and all the other

81
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: stuff that was going on there. So they're in no

82
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: position the people that were trying to tell you Rhonda

83
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: Santists was awful in twenty eighteen, or a no position

84
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: now to pretend that somehow they've known something all along

85
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: about Rhonda Santis. They hate him because he's effective, They

86
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: hate him because he's good at his job. Because look

87
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: at the other side. Right now, we're looking at a

88
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: referendum about Democrats, most notably Joe Biden, but Democrats across

89
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: the board in positions of power, whether you're talking about mayors, governors,

90
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: senator who are horrible at their jobs. The American people

91
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: have suffered as a result. So a shining example of

92
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: competent governance in the state of Florida is something they

93
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: must destroy, no matter how dishonest they have to be

94
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: in the process. And that's what we're seeing. And that's

95
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: the attack right now, and I'm sure it will shift.

96
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: And I just want all of you and a lot

97
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: of you knew this was going to happen too, But

98
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: Buck and I told you that this was going to

99
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: be their play because DeSantis has such a commanding lead.

100
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: They've thrown everything at him related to COVID that don't

101
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: say gay Bill, they just totally made up when it

102
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: came to not allowing kindergarten a third grade to have

103
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: sexual identity discussions and instruction, which almost every parent in America,

104
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: regardless of race or politics, actually agrees with if you

105
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: have young kids. I've got a second grader right now.

106
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: He's going to the zoo today on a field trip.

107
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: He was super excited when I dropped him off at

108
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: school this morning. If you told me, hey, instead of

109
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: going to the zoo, we're going to have a nuanced

110
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: discussion about gender identity with your second grader at public school,

111
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: which is where he goes, I would, along with many

112
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: of the other parents out there, say you are insane.

113
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: So all the Santas has done is advocate for policies

114
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: that make sense. But they're now coming after him based

115
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 1: on the hurricane. And know what they're doing right now, Buck,

116
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: They're saying one particular area of Florida, Lee County, and

117
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a second. Let me say this.

118
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Our station is down right now in the southwest Florida area.

119
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: We have the number one radio show in Fort Myers, Naples,

120
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: basically on the southwest coast of Florida. Buck and I

121
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: have been talking. We don't want to try to come

122
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: down when they're still a chaotic recovery going on. Last year,

123
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: I came down and spoke in Fort Myers. We had

124
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: a phenomenal turnout. Buck got COVID or he would have

125
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 1: been there. Buck and I are going to come down

126
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: to where Hurricane Ian made landfall somewhere in that Naples

127
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: Fort Myers Lee County area, and we are going to

128
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: do an event to help to raise money for that

129
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: area to recover. But we don't want to come down

130
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: while all of the recovery efforts are still going on,

131
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: while so many people out there are trying to rebuild

132
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: and get everything that fixed up. So we will hopefully

133
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: come down sometime before the end of twenty twenty two.

134
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: We will pick a date, we will pick a destination. Literally,

135
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: the studio that I did the show from is not

136
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: far from the coast there. It's totally flooded. The Wink

137
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: studios there. Producer Ali and I were in those studios.

138
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: We met so many fantastic people in that area southwest

139
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: of Florida. Our station's not even back up yet. I

140
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: think the television station is still down. There was standing

141
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: water surged into those studios. So we are going to

142
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: come down. We're going to do everything we can to

143
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: help people in southwest Florida. I know many of you

144
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: listening and all other parts of the country want to

145
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: do something as well. So we will be doing something

146
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: for the hurricane Ian survivors and the people who were

147
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: impacted by that storm. But Buck, what they're trying to

148
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: do is they're now saying this is the focal point.

149
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Twenty four hour notice in Lee County is not enough.

150
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: The attack now is that Lee County did not issue

151
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: an evacuation order early enough. And what I would say

152
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: about that clip, and that was CNN that Rhnda Santis

153
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: was speaking with a CNN reporter. They are trying to

154
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: come after him over this now. And what I would say,

155
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: just in general is how great is it, Buck to

156
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: have a politician who actually can understand facts and marshal

157
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: them to explain his decision. We don't have that in

158
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: the White House right now. Can you imagine Joe Biden

159
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: trying to explain what happened in Lee County or why

160
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: a decision was made there. The man can barely speak.

161
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: DeSantis is the best advocate for his positions out there,

162
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: which is frankly rare in politics these days. Also, why

163
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: are they coming after him on the issue of a

164
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: late evacuation when everyone knows and he points this out

165
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: by saying, you meeting the media, we're all stationed in

166
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: the Tampa area because it was believed at that point

167
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: where that's going to get that was where it was

168
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: going to get hit. So you can only go based

169
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: upon what the hurricane trackers believe the path will be.

170
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: We all know storms move sometimes it storms about to

171
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: hit a place and it doesn't even get touched and

172
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: it moves out to see or moves into the gulf

173
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: or whatever. Right, so they're effectively saying, no matter what

174
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: he did, it wasn't good enough, which we knew they

175
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: were going to say all along. That's not surprising, But

176
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: just I want to remind everybody on the other side

177
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: of the equation. You have the federal government which is

178
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: going to be sending resources here, sending considerable resources, FEMA

179
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: and all the rest of it. But what is the

180
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: ideology at work from the Biden White House? You have

181
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. People really paid attention to this. Yeah, who

182
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: said it was going to be an equity based relief effort.

183
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: We have to address this in a way that is

184
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: about giving resources based on equity understanding that we fight

185
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: for equality, but we also need to fight for equity

186
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: understanding not everyone starts out at the same place, and

187
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: if we want people to be in an equal place,

188
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: sometimes we have to take into account those disparities and

189
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: do that work. Now, she really just like somebody who

190
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: gives HR seminars. You know, she knows the buzzwords that

191
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: she's supposed to use. But to bring up equity here

192
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: to everybody, that sounds like she's saying, well, this will

193
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: be because when they talk about equity and lending to

194
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: businesses and equity and hiring or whatever, racial justice is

195
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: what equity actually means to the left. So she's calling

196
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: for a racial justice based hurricane and relief effort. How

197
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: is that supposed to work? Exactly? Well, it's profoundly offensive,

198
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: I think to everybody white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, who overwhelmingly

199
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: understands that when there is a natural disaster, we send

200
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: all of our resources to the places that are most

201
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: hit by the natural disaster. Because that's the most important

202
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: thing that federal and state authorities can do is respond

203
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: immediately and as efficiently as possible. To the people that

204
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: are most in need, regardless of what their background is,

205
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: regardless of what their gender idea is, regardless of what

206
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: their politics are. If people need help in this country

207
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: because of natural disasters, we've actually, I think, by and large,

208
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: done a pretty good job of ensuring that the people

209
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: who need the most help get it the most rapidly.

210
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: And of course, Kamala Harris, I mean to even suggest

211
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: this in the immediate aftermath of a hurricane like Ian

212
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: is just further evidence buck of how insanely tone deaf

213
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: all of her political instincts are. Look, this whole equity

214
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: argument has been out there because they switched from equality

215
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: because equality wasn't good enough. Treating everybody equal under the

216
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: law wasn't good enough. Equity requires that you treat some

217
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: people differently under the law, based not upon anything that

218
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: you were, me or anyone has done, but based on

219
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: what people did hundreds of years ago. And to tie

220
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: that in with a hurricane is so immensely tone deaf

221
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: that only Kamala Harris could do it. Even Joe Biden

222
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: hasn't been dumb enough to do that. I will say,

223
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: and I've said it for a while, maybe the only

224
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: decision Joe Biden has made is he managed to pick

225
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: the one person who is more incompetent than himself to

226
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: be his vice president, which is really the reason why

227
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: nobody talks about the twenty fifth. It has given him

228
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: a degree of job security, yeah, meaning that the party

229
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: will continue to back him because they know, look, Clay,

230
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: right now, all across the board, Democrats, they're seeing the

231
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: writing on the wall. They don't really want to say

232
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: it that much out loud, but they know that they

233
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: are a month away from a very different reality. And also,

234
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: if the election goes the way it is trending right now,

235
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: where Republicans will take the House and likely the Senate,

236
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: that means the Biden presidency has achieved what exactly for

237
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: the point eight percent inflation, But thankfully it would mean

238
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: that he would do nothing for the final two years

239
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: of his tenure. You know, it'd be great for us.

240
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: But I'm like they're panicking, like they they are realizing

241
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: what is coming, what is coming down the roadway here,

242
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: which means they're gonna get nasty and they're gonna get desperate.

243
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that coming up here in a second.

244
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: Our federal government, you know, this addicted to spending. That

245
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: recle spending has led to near unprecedented inflation, raising the

246
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: costs on everything food, gas, clothing supplies. But there are

247
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: things you can do right now to lower your monthly

248
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: expenses and reduce the impact of inflation. Start by switching

249
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: your cell phone service to pure Talk. They deliver best

250
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: in quality cell phone service on America's most reliable five

251
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: G network. With pure Talk, you don't have to sacrifice

252
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: coverage to save money every single month. Look at your

253
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: cell phone bill. If you're with Verizon AT and T

254
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: or T Mobile, you're paying too much. Pure Talk will

255
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: give you unlimited talk, text, and six gigs of data

256
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: for just thirty dollars a month. That's real money that

257
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: can go to cover groceries or gas, and Pure Talk

258
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: has never raised rates. Take action today. Pick up your

259
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: cell phone and dial pound two fifty and say Clay

Speaker 1: and Buck. You'll say fifty percent off your first month,

261
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: enjoy superior coverage and save money. Just dial pound two

262
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: five zero say Clay and Buck to switch the self

Speaker 1: service that I'm on Her Talk is my phone right now,

264
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: It's what you should be using to save some money, Folks,

265
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: dial pound two fifty from your phone. Say Clay and Buck,

266
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: welcome back everybody. Second hour of the Clay Travis and

267
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show gets going right now. If there is

268
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: one issue that you could put up alongside the economy

269
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: in terms of how much it really affects people in

270
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: their everyday lives, and you could certainly argue, depending where

271
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: we're talking about, it affects them even more than the economy,

272
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: it would be public safety, crime, law and order, right,

273
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: that is absolutely essential to a well functioning, to a

274
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: happy and yes, safe society. You have to have intelligent

275
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: policies in place. You have to have the rule of law,

276
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: you have to have police that are supported in what

277
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: they do. We have seen the opposite free years now.

278
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: This past weekend, thirty four people shot in chicag thirty

279
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: four in one weekend, everybody. And that's not even a

280
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: record for Chicago. That's just horrifically another weekend in Chicago

281
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: right now, the murder rate in Philly. In Philadelphia is

282
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: over four hundred. Philadelphia is on track for its worst

283
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: year of murders ever after last year having its all

284
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: time worst year of murders. So it had the worst

285
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: ever last year and it can't bring it down. In

286
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: fact that it's looking to be ahead of last year.

287
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: This year, Atlanta is on track for the most murders

288
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: it has ever had as a city, and it is

289
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: up three years in a row starting in twenty nineteen.

290
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: You'll notice something, all of these places that have seen

291
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: dramatic increases in crime. It not only starts in twenty nineteen,

292
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: it starts right around June of twenty nineteen. All of

293
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: a sudden, there is this shift. You can see on

294
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: charts that show you the rate of murders. You can

295
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: see that shows you violent, violent, serious felonies. It all

296
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: starts getting worse. And now the Democrats, you will recall,

297
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: and many of you remember this, and I know Klay

298
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: Dusk we talked about on the show for the first

299
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: year of this. You remember what they were saying. It's COVID.

300
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: COVID exactly right, they were lying to you. Go back,

301
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: you can find this all over the place. Oh well,

302
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: COVID's caused an increase in murder because people are said. Meanwhile,

303
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: other countries all over the world actually had a decrease

304
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: in murders because nobody was going outside. This was crazy,

305
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: This made no sense. You're locked at home. We argued it.

306
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: One of the first things I remember having a conversation

307
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: with you on this show, Buck, was last June. We

308
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: were coming on and we're saying, hey, crime is skyrocketing everywhere,

309
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: and they're saying Democrats were at that time, Oh, it's

310
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: the disruptions caused by COVID, and you and I were

311
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: on the air. Send Wait a minute, but people didn't

312
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: go out for much of twenty twenty, Right, the numbers

313
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: should have all gone down. It's not even logically analytically arguable.

314
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: In fact, if you were to really look at it

315
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: as we did, you would see that there was during

316
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: the major shutdown, Right, there was a period in March

317
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: April where you basically had two months of dramatically dropped crime.

318
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: So for twenty nineteen to be a year of incredibly

319
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: increased crime, you have to take into account that during

320
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: the lockdowns crime went very, very low. But beginning about

321
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty it was actually down substantially. It only started

322
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: to skyrocket as soon as the George George Floyd every game.

323
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: It was the George Floyd incident, the BLM movement, the

324
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: Democrats mobilizing inelection year, and the narrative, not just the act,

325
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: the act of defunding, but the narrative of defunding the police.

326
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: Just to remind everybody, and you'll you'll recognize a lot

327
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: of these voices because now they're all saying, oh, we

328
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: didn't we didn't want to defund police. You know. Biden's all, oh,

329
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: not a joke, I don't want to defund Sure, these

330
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: are Democrats, including the Vice President I believe, is on

331
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: this montage saying just that we've been talking about defunding

332
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: the police. There are some issues that we ask police

333
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: to do, like mental health issues or policing in schools

334
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: and all the rest that perhaps we can shuffle some

335
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: of that money around, suck it up. Defunding the police

336
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: have to happen. We need to defund the police, eric

337
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: ar said. He's saying, take some of the money from policing.

338
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: About one hundred fifty million dollars time plot eric Arcadi

339
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: for doing what he's done. Funding isn't necessarily as aggressive

340
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: as a lot of folks pay it, paint it, you know, school,

341
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: but just get cut almost every year. Not only do

342
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: we need to invest foreign police, but we need to

343
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: completely dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. So yes to some defunding.

344
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: We have to reallocate resources. So yes, would you echo

345
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: calls from some Black Lives Matter activists to defund the police? Well,

346
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: I think now is the time that we need to

347
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: actually do that work. It is outdated. It is wrong

348
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: headed thinking to think that the only way you're going

349
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: to get communities to be saved. As to foot Moore,

350
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 1: police officers on the street. Coluse, would you call the

351
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: seats buck, that's what you call direct receipts. Democrats have

352
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: who supported defund the police blood on their hands in

353
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: cities and states all across America. So I get to

354
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: see headlines like this from the Daily News, which is

355
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: a left wing paper, violent unprovoked attacks have New Yorkers

356
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: on edge, and then in quotes there is something profoundly wrong. Yes,

357
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: there is something profoundly wrong. And let me explain why

358
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: the violent, unprovoked or violent random attacks. This is what

359
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: we're seeing videos of. And I think the video because

360
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: of the proliferation of video all across social media. When

361
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: people see what's going on, they see that we're not

362
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: talking about. You know, there are some cities where there's

363
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, there are pockets of the city where there's

364
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: a lot of gang activity where the drug trade results

365
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: in violence. Now that's criminal and that needs to be

366
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: stopped too. But what you're seeing all over the country

367
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: now because there are few were cops on the streets,

368
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: because the cops don't feel backed up, because progressive Democrat

369
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: Biden supporting prosecutors won't do their jobs and actually do

370
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: public safety. Instead they're doing social justice. What you see

371
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: is people walking down the street with a bag of

372
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: groceries and some lunatic who's been arrested a hundred times

373
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: hits them in the face with a brick, and then

374
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: you see they're out in a couple of hours. Then

375
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: you see that somehow they're out on bail and a

376
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: few weeks will pass and they're going to go before

377
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: some lib judge who was appointed by some Democrat is

378
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: going to say, well, you know, we want to make

379
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: sure that we don't have too many people in the

380
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: prison population, so we'll give you a suspended sentence or whatever.

381
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: This is what is happening everywhere, and Democrats are running

382
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: for cover on and including Fetterman Philly. As I said,

383
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: worst murder rate ever this year. Fetterman when he was

384
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: intellected office was going around saying, hey, we should let

385
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: forty percent of people out of prison in this state,

386
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: or thirty percent, that's what he said. They let forty

387
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: percent out, and now Philadelphia is a war zone. And

388
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: does anyone does anyone believe in cause and effect Clay,

389
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: That's what we're being asked. Not only that, Fetterman has

390
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: pulled all I'm told Black Lives Matter support off of

391
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: his campaign website. So you'll remember in twenty twenty, when

392
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: if you had ever bought like a gift basket, you

393
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: were getting emailed by a company saying like we stand

394
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: in thirty BLM. Like remember when anybody we know you

395
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: bought a soap five bought soap from us five years ago.

396
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: But we just want to tell you where we stand

397
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: on police and defunding. Hey, I just want I just

398
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: want shampoo, head and shoulders. I don't really care about

399
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: any of your any of your efforts or in right guard. Hey,

400
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: just give me some deodor I don't really care about

401
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: anything that your company stands for other than does your

402
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: shampoo work, does your does your deodorant work? Whatever you've

403
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 1: got out there, and give me the product Okay, Fetterman, Now,

404
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: is Oz is gonna win? Let's just you can Like

405
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: we are thirty six days out. I believe voting in

406
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania has officially started. Some would say it never ended.

407
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: And I believe that doctor Oz is going to win.

408
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: And sometimes you can tell the momentum. You know, it's

409
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: a lot like a game. Somebody's up, somebody's down. Where's

410
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: the ball in the field. Democrats are in the scrub

411
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: campaign materials off anything related to crime. And when you

412
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: see remember we talked I think it was last week

413
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: Buck that in the Washington Post ABC poll. Republicans have

414
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: not had this big of a lead and who will

415
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: solve crime? Since nineteen ninety one? Nineteen ninety one, We

416
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: have to go back over thirty years to a time

417
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of you out there old enough to

418
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: remember nineteen ninety one crime was surging everywhere. Buck, you

419
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: were a young whipper snapper, but you wasn't safe to

420
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: walk through Central Park like that was the pre Giuliani

421
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: before they came in and took over New York City.

422
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: And to your point, we were up for your engagement party.

423
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: I was into your work. I like to occasionally just

424
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: flip on local news, you know, as I'm killing time

425
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: to see what they are going to be focusing on crime,

426
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: It's like just local news in New York City, right,

427
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: You referenced the Daily News, which is a left wing newspaper,

428
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: but in every city in America, they usually if it bleeds,

429
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: it leads. Has long been the case. But there is

430
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: a sense that things are broken and people are throwing

431
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: up their arms saying, no one's safe. Right now, here's

432
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: what everyone needs to understand about the Democrat left mentality

433
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: about all of this. At some level, they believe that

434
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: this is what we have to suffer through as a

435
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: society because of equity, because of social justice. This is

436
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: their demand. Effectively, it's better for people to be unsafe

437
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: on the streets than for the prison population to be

438
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: too large in this city or that city. Right then,

439
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: people who are incarcerated, ending mass incarceration was the rallying cry,

440
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: a big part of it for the progressive prosecutors even

441
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: before the George Floyd incident. Right. So there's a part

442
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: of the and the way you know this clay is

443
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: that in a lot of places it's been clear, the

444
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: numbers have been clear for going on three years now

445
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: and they haven't done anything to change it. They're not actually,

446
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: I mean I mentioned before how our things going in Seattle.

447
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: Seattle is still hemorrhaging police officers. They're gonna be down

448
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: from let's call it a thousand who I think it's

449
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: gonna be something like, you know, seven fifty something like that.

450
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: That's a huge difference on a police force of that

451
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: size in a short period of time. It means fewer

452
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: presence patrols. It means fewer people on the streets, giving

453
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: people the sense that one the bad guys aren't going

454
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: to do stuff, and two that they should feel a

455
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: bit safe. This was all not only predictable, we predicted it.

456
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: We said when we started the show together, this is

457
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: going to continue on. They blamed COVID everybody, I mean

458
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: the people. Anyone who blamed COVID for the rise in

459
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: crime is either dishonest or a moron. And people did

460
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: this all across the Democrat Party, and now they're running

461
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: from it because they don't want to be held accountable,

462
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: because they have no argument otherwise. And this is the

463
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: way that I would crystallize it for so many people

464
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: out there, because I know this is happening in my

465
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: own life. Have you changed the way that you instruct

466
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: your kids or your wife in choices that they're making

467
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: when they're out on their own in the city or

468
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: state where you live since twenty nineteen, I have. I mean,

469
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: I think you'd be crazy to be a dad, granddad

470
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: out there and not be talking men and kids in

471
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: your lives and saying, hey, murder is up forty percent,

472
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: A lot higher than that in some communities, but in

473
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: an average of forty percent since twenty nineteen. In this country.

474
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: It's real. That threat that many of us feel is

475
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: omnipresent because we have taken police's ability to do their jobs.

476
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: And I talk differently to my wife and kids now

477
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: than I did in twenty nineteen, as it pertains to

478
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: choices they're making in neighborhoods and in cities and states,

479
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: and you're not living in the middle of New York

480
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: City right now. I'm in a very safe I'm in

481
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: a very safe I tell I have to tell Carrie,

482
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: you know that I don't want her taking the subway

483
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: at night. I want her I'll pay for a cab,

484
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: I'll pay for a car service, whatever we have to do.

485
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't want her on the subway as a as

486
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: a single thirty three, I told my wife, yeah, well

487
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: we used to ride the subway. Buck When she came

488
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: up this summer and we went out to dinner, I said,

489
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 1: you know, when I'm doing the show, you want to

490
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: run around, go shop somewhere, just take a car. I

491
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: do not get on the subway. And I think there

492
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: are dad's husbands, granddads out there that are having conversations

493
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: with their kids and grandkids. They haven't had any here.

494
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: And here's the other part of this. And everyone who

495
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: lives in New York, in the city or comes into

496
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: the city for work, which is a lot of our

497
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: people who are listening on wo R, It's not just

498
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: the violent assaults that you hear about. It's the constant

499
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: menacing of clearly deranged lunatics on the streets who come

500
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: up and demand money and you don't give it to them,

501
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: and they say, you know, bleep you, and they scream

502
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: at you, and they threaten you. You know. I mean,

503
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: I have had numerous times on the streets within blocks

504
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: of where I live in the last eighteen months, last

505
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: or last two years. I could I was just thinking

506
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: of eighteen months because while we've been doing the show,

507
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 1: I've had people basically threatened me on the streets of

508
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: New York City, random strangers, lunatics, you know, usually shirtless.

509
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: I can usually you know, tell they're walking over there.

510
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes you know, basically barefoot. I mean, they look like

511
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: they've just run out of the insane asylum, and they'll

512
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: say something horrific and violent. I mean, i've they've said

513
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: when you do that, when you have that enough times,

514
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: when that becomes normalized in a city, people don't want

515
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: people don't want to deal with it anymore. And that's

516
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: where they are. And Democrats need to face up to

517
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: their creation here, to the reality of what they're doing,

518
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: and people need to vote against them. I don't know

519
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: what else to say. It absolutely must happen or else

520
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: this continues or also keeps getting worse. I want to

521
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: tell you about the Preborn Pregnancy Clinics. They began their

522
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: mission over sixteen years ago to love and help women

523
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: with unplanned pregnancies by offering free ultrasounds. You see, when

524
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: an expected mom hears her baby's heartbeat and sees the

525
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: image of her baby on ultrasound is so often an

526
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 1: immediate connection, a real bond that lasts forever and the

527
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: majority of the time she's going to choose life preborn positions.

528
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: Their clinics in states where over fifty percent of abortions occur,

529
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: and as a result, they've rescued hundreds of thousands of

530
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: babies lives. They're the country's largest provider of free ultrasounds.

531
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: Think about how important this mission is. They're saving lives

532
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: every day, but their response, their ability to do this

533
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: mission is dependent upon you, the pro life community, and

534
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: your generosity. Your help is needed now more than ever.

535
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: One ultrasound is just twenty eight dollars, and one hundred

536
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: and forty dollars helps her rest you five babies lives.

537

Speaker 1: To donate, dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby.

Speaker 1: with you anywhere. Clay Travis buck Sexton Podcast joined now

561
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: by Art Laugher. He is maybe the nation's most esteemed

562
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: economist out there, and importantly, given my lack of supreme

563
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: economic knowledge, he can make me understand very complex topics

564
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: and he can do the same I bet for almost

565
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: everybody out there. Plus he's even mentioned in the legendary

566
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: film Ferris Bueller because of the Laugher Curve. He is

567
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: a former Ronald Reagan economic advisor. I don't know how

568
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: many grandkids he has, but he's got a ton, and

569
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: he is here in Nashville where I live. And Art,

570
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: you came on with us about a month ago. People

571
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: loved it. You walked us through where we were headed.

572
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: We're not very excited about the state of our economic union.

573
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: What would you say right now? Thanks for giving us

574
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: the time. Where are we big picture? A big picture?

575
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: I think the US is in a very bad economic shape.

576
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: But I'm much more optimistic than I was last time.

577
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: And the reason very simply is, I think the election

578
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: in November is going to be good for the Republicans,

579
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: which will at least to stop the onslaught by Biden

580
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: and the Democratic Congress and may just may lead to

581
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: some good policies, although that's still in doubt. But the

582
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: Republicans construe things up pretty badly too. But I'm very

583
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: optimistic about the election and about stopping the Biden onslaught

584
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: on the economy. Ay, Art, it's buck, you know last

585
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: week stand drunken Miller, one of the most well known

586
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: hedge fund money managers out there, basically said, look, no

587
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: one can predict the future, but I'm about as certain

588
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: as I can be that we're heading into a pretty

589
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: nasty recession in twenty twenty three and it could be

590
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: a really bad one. What did you think of that?

591
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: I think he's right. I know stand very well, and

592
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: he's a very smart guy. And I've known him for

593
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 1: forty years, thirty five years, and he really knows his stuff,

594
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: and he comes at it from a very different perspective

595
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: than I do. But he's awfully good at his trade,

596
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: and I would not discount his advice in his forecast

597
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: at all. Art A lot of people out there have

598
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: been trying to figure out when to buy a home,

599
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: and in the space of a year, we basically had

600
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: thirty year mortgage rates go from around two and a

601
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: half percent to now approaching seven percent in many places.

602
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: We got a lot of young people out there listening,

603
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people who might be trading down in

604
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: homes as they're retiring. What would you tell people who

605
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 1: are in the housing market based on your economic analysis

606
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: both of where we are right now and where we

607
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: might be headed, Well, let me just say that what

608
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 1: I would think is that those mortgage rates are not

609
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: going down anytime soon. In fact, if we keep on

610
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: with the inflation, the Biden inflation that we've had, I

611
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 1: think those rates who go up a lot higher now

612
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: in nineteen in nineteen eighty eighty one, those mortgage rates

613
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: got up to fifteen seventeen percent, maybe even higher. So

614
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: that's not out of the question. So when you look

615
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: at this, if that happens, housing prices will come down substantially.

616
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you do your trade off

617
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: between buying and producing a house, but I don't think

618
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: the mortgage rate peak has been hit. Speaking of Art

619
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: laugh for a former economic advisor to President Reagan, you'll

620
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: see him on Fox News, and Art I got to

621
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: know the job situation. You know. That's it's interesting because

622
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: over the summer, the Biden White House would point to

623
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: the low unemployment number and say, see, we can't be

624
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: in a recession because the job's number is so good.

625
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: As an unemployment is so low, where do you see

626
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: that going now? I mean, the first six months of

627
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: the year we did have negative GDP growth. That has

628
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: been affirmed by further analysis recently that was just put out.

629
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: So the job's picture and what's it going to look like?

630
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: Because I'm not here in the Biden White House saying

631
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 1: at least not as much. Oh but look at how

632
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: great the unemployment figure is. Well, you know, I don't

633
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: know why they. I mean, obviously they're going to pick

634
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: the ones that look the best to them. And as

635
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: far as unemployment rates go, this is a very low

636
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: rate of unemployment in the US. But the reason the

637
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: unemployment rates so low is not because it is not

638
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: because there's so many people employed. In fact, the participation rate,

639
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: which is the total number of people in the labor

640
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 1: force divided by the population, is that it's lowest level.

641
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: So why aren't any people in this age group trying

642
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: to find jobs? Why aren't they in the labor force?

643
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: And it's because the government has given them all these

644
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: special goodies that they don't need to work. They can

645
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: take time off and not work and still not suffer

646
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: the consequences of hardship on buying things. They just don't.

647
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: So I think the jobs market is at one of

648
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: its worst positions ever, not because of the unemployment rate,

649
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: but because of the participation rate, which is it about Oh,

650
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: I think sixty two point four percent, which means that

651
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 1: everyone's left the labor force and they are very few

652
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: left working, and that's a real problem that can't be

653
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 1: solved simply. Yeah. And look, I want to build on

654
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: what you just said, because a lot of economics is

655
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: about analyzing people's behavior and what might or might not

656
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: be rational for their individual economic decisions. It seems to

657
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: me that what we did when we shut down the

658
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: economy in March and April in May at twenty twenty

659
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: and flooded the market with giving people so much money

660
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: and not requiring them to work is create brand new

661
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: paradigms whereby to your point, art, some people just decide, Hey,

662
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: you know, this whole work thing is not for me.

663
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to do it, or I'm going

664
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 1: to commit to very short range jobs. And to your point,

665
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: I get I hear very few people talking about this.

666
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: To me, it's a psychological issue. Why is the overall

667
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: rate of work down so precipitously compared to February of

668
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Is it a psychological or economic issue that

669
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: needs to be healed in order us, particularly when it

670
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: comes the young men to get these people back in

671
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: the workforce, well, it comes to economics, and by giving

672
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,359
Speaker 1: them all that money, and I think it was three

673
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 1: and a half trillion dollars, which you know, a trillion here,

674
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 1: a trillion there, sooner or later it adds up the

675
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 1: real money. And giving them that type of money gave

676
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: them the wherewithal not to have to work, and so

677
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: therefore they quit. And if you look at the people

678
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: who left the labor force, they're all almost all low

679
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: level workers. Even the high level workers used went online

680
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: to do that and calls and stuff, so they don't

681
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: even work as hard. What I proposed, if you'll remember

682
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: back in March of twenty twenty, was I proposed to

683
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,919
Speaker 1: the President that he not do the minution spending plan

684
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: of three and a half trillion with Schumer and with Pelosi,

685
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: but that we get rid of the payroll tax. We

686
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: have a payroll tax waiver both employer and employee for

687
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: a year and a half. That would have put the

688
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: same amount of money back into the economy, but it

689
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 1: would have done it by encouraging people to work hard

690
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: or not less hard, not to take off from work,

691
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 1: which is exactly what we needed to do. If we've

692
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 1: done that we'd be in great shape today. But we're not.

693
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: And that's that's not what they did. And shoot manution

694
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: and Schumer and Pelosi got their way and are The

695
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act is something that Biden White House still

696
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: talks about as though it will reduce inflation. What do

697
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 1: you see from that spending bill? How long will it

698
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 1: be before we feel those effects? And just generally speaking

699
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: for everybody out there, I mean here, I have on

700
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: my I just saw this this morning on the amount

701
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: of increase in the cost of food. Thirteen point five

702
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: percent increase in grocery prices year over year for this

703
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 1: past year. That's a lot of money to people. That

704
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: really hurts. What's going to happen with inflation? When is

705
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: this thing going to get under control? Well, that really

706
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: irritates me, given that I'm a little bit tubby and

707
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: I love eating. I just love blave, blave, love eating.

708
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: So I really I really resent the thirteen percent plus

709
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: increase in grocery prices more than other people do. But

710
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: there is no reason to expect that that inflation will stop. Now.

711
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: What you can see is that there are a lot

712
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: of spot commodity prices, very sensitive prices that during an

713
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: uptick in the economy, like when we came out of

714
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: the out of the pandemic, those prices like oil and

715
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: a lumber, and like copper and all these others rose enormously,

716
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: so the inflation was overstated substantially. We got up I

717
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: think as high as nine point one percent inflation on

718
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: the CPI. Now that we've rolled over and the economy

719
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: is going down, these prices are falling very rapidly, and

720
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: now they are understating inflation dramatically. What you want to

721
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: look at is sort of a core inflation without this,

722
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: and I think the core inflation number today is probably

723
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: its highest point. And I don't expect any decline in

724
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: inflation until there's being a decline in the bad policies

725
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: that are put into place which really stimulate demand and

726
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: are antagonistic to supply. Art. So let's say that Republicans

727
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: take back the House in the Senate. To me, that

728
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 1: and most people out there, I would imagine is much desired,

729
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: But to a large extent, it will just kind of

730
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: create a log jam because Biden won't be able to

731
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: shove through his excessive spending programs. But a lot of

732
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: what Republicans would want to do to address our economic status,

733
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: also won't get signed into law by Joe Biden. So

734
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: what does that mean for the overall state of our economy.

735
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: Let's presume Republicans take back the House, in the Senate,

736
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: what do we look like in twenty three? What do

737
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: we look like in twenty four in your mind, given

738
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: as you said, the elevated state of inflation and how

739
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: hard now it is to chop it down. Yeah, let

740
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: me just talk about Republicans for a second. Republicans are

741
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: no angels now. The reason we look so good as

742
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: angels as Republicans is because we compare very favorably to Democrats,

743
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: to Schumer all that group which are running with imperfect

744
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: compared to insane, is still favorable for imperfect. Yeah, that's right.

745
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: But during the next two years, if we did take

746
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: back the Senate now house, and given that, we can

747
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: have some sort of discipline on the Republicans, which is

748
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: by no means guaranteed. If we could have discipline on

749
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: the Republicans, we could have a stasis period where things

750
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: don't get a whole lot worse quickly. There's a lot

751
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: of still money left out there wanting to be spent.

752
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: That's going to be spent. But what I would like

753
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: to see the Republicans do is take aspects of the

754
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,320
Speaker 1: Build Back Better Bill or the baby Build Back Better,

755
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: like the eighty seven thousand new IRS agents, and just

756
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: advance a piece of legislation repeal the eighty seven thousand

757
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: and the eighty billion dollars spending there, and let it

758
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: go through the House, let it go through the Senate,

759
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: and then have the President fee to it and do

760
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: that every six months and pick out the twenty least

761
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: popular things there so we can make sure that we

762
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: get the presidency back in two twenty four. If we

763
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: can get it back in two twenty four, and God

764
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: willing and the creek don't rise too fast, we can

765
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: get a complete reversal of these policies. Jimmy, it took

766
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter to create Ronald Reagan. Guys that believe me

767
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: when I tell you that, in the same breath that

768
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: it took Jimmy Carter to create Ronald Reagan, you can't

769
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: imagine the great president that could follow Joe Biden. Aren't

770
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: You're an optimist? Based on that? Based on that story,

771
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: One thing that I'm actually curious about. You're an economic genius.

772
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: You've been advising presidents for generations. Now does Joe Biden

773
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: have anybody advising him economically that you like or think? Man,

774
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: if he would just listen to this guy or this girl,

775
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: everything wouldn't be a disaster, because Buck and I struggle

776
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: to find any Democrat who has basic economic sense. If

777
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,800
Speaker 1: we were doing a draft of the White House personnel,

778
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: we would we would wait till next year's draft. You know,

779
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 1: you've got a group of people that are intellectually identical.

780
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 1: They all have seen the view through the world to

781
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: the same eyes, from Larry Summers to to Furman, to

782
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: all of them Ghoulsby and even the ones in there.

783
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at Bernstein, you look at Dese,

784
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: you look at all of these guys, and they all

785
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:04,959
Speaker 1: have the same view of the world. The government's spending

786
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: stimulates economy, makes life better, And it's not true. I

787
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 1: have never heard of a poor person spending himself into wealth.

788
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense. Have you ever heard of

789
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: an economy being taxed into prosperity? Again, it just is

790
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: silly on the face of it. But these guys all

791
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: believe that's true. They are so doctrinaire and so in

792
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: lockstep that they are unwilling to look at any evidence

793
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: to the contrary. I don't know if you're aware, but

794
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 1: my book just came out called Taxes Have Consequences. It's

795
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: a complete history of the US income tax from nineteen

796
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: thirteen to the present. I did it with Brian Dmitrovich

797
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: and Jane Sinkfield. And if you look at that, you

798
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: know everyone's allowed to have his or her own opinion.

799
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 1: They are. I mean, you can have your opinion about

800
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: anything you want, but you can't have your own facts.

801
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: And you know, when you look at the facts, these

802
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: people's models have not worked. They just don't work. Biden,

803
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, They're all the same, and they just don't work.

804
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: And they leave then do a rebound by the other

805
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: view of the world. And that's what I'm really looking for.

806
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: Our laugher given us some hope, some truth, and some hope. Right,

807
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being with us. What's the

808
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: name of the book again, Taxesences. We gotta get together

809
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: in Nashville. I mean, every time he comes on, I

810
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: love it. Well, guy, I'm living right here in Nashville.

811
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: You can just walk across the street and say hello

812
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: to me. I's going to kind of get a signed copy.

813
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna go pick one up that I've signed it

814
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: for both of you. Both of you don't have to come,

815
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: but I love it if you did. All right, sounds good,

816
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: my friends. Our nation's history is rich, not only with

817
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: stories of accomplishment and growth, but of bravery and freedom.

818
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 1: Teaching our nation's history that kids starts at home. Yes, sure,

819
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: school history classes can be okay, but sometimes they're aly

820
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: on history books that are boring, or they even focus

821
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: on the wrong stuff where they try to indoctrinate your

822
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: kids right, They try to tell your kids they should

823
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: feel ashamed of their country. So if you're interested in

824
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: teaching your kids real history at home, you need to

825

836
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: We got Bill O'Reilly with us now. He's got over

837
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: a dozen bestsellers. His latest Killing the Legends, The Lethal

838
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 1: Danger of Celebrity is out now, sure to be another

839
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: massive bestseller. Bill. Thanks for I'm making the time good

840
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: to talk to you again. Listen. I'm doing this for

841
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: you guys. You guys are celebrities now and you need

842
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 1: to know about the lethal danger that faces you. And

843
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerated. Every famous person in this country is

844
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: a target on his or her back. But the three

845
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: that I write about, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Muhammad

846
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: Ali change the culture of the United States. So this

847
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: is a history book. As you know. This is the

848
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: twelfth Killing Book, and we got nineteen million copies in print,

849
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: the most successful nonfiction book series in history. And I

850
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: chose these guys because people don't realize the way we

851
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: live today in America. Stems from these three and when

852
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: they open and they read their stories and how they

853
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: all were destroyed literally by their celebrity, you learn a lot. Yeah, Bill,

854
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: when you break this down, I've had discussions about this.

855
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: Do you think it was safer to be a celebrity

856
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: in years past? Or do you think that risk has

857
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 1: always been sort of omnipresent, in particular with social media

858
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: and people able to track where you are, maybe in

859
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 1: a way that wasn't the case in the past. I

860
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: kind of go back and forth because obviously, historically we

861
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: saw so many different famous people murdered. But it feels

862
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: to me like we are in a time of great violence,

863
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: certainly when you look at the crime rates all over

864
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: the country, and it's never been easier to go on

865
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: a social media device and find out where someone is.

866
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: It's dangerous physically now more than ever before, but psychologically

867
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: and emotionally it's the same. So you go all the

868
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: way back to Maryland Monroe, you know, and then you

869
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: have all the sixties rockers Hendricks and Jim Morrison and

870
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: all these people, and then right up the Prince and

871
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson and Karen Carpenter and Blushi. Never ends, so

872
00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: psychologically and emotionally, it's the same. But you're right the house.

873
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: You're a famous person. Now there is a camera on

874
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: you every second when you're in public. It is debilitating,

875
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: it's annoying, and there's nothing you can do about it.

876
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: And all you need is one nut like John Lennon,

877
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: just one person and your vapor. The burden that puts

878
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: on people is just off the chart, and people don't

879
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: understand it. And we have a blood sport in America.

880
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: Let's tear the famous people apart, you know, the sport.

881
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: You see it every day. And now we have no

882
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: due process. So we used to have due process that

883
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: an allegation may or may not be true. Now any

884
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: allegations true. Paper doesn't care. Throw the allegation out. Well,

885
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 1: especially if you're a Republican Bill right, if you're on

886
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 1: the right, then the allegations definitely whatever it is. You know,

887
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: if someone accused one of us, I always tay the

888
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 1: clay of killing Abraham Lincoln. Well we're right wing talk

889
00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: show host, so we probably got on a time machine

890
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: figured it out. We're speaking of Bill O'Reilly right now.

891
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: He is the author of Killing the Legends, The lethal

892
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: danger of celebrity. It is out there. Bill, I do

893
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: want to ask you though, because we were just talking

894
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: about you said you leaving your house. You constant cameras

895
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: on you for celebrities leaving your house right now, just

896
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: for folks, for everyday people. Is feeling really unsafe? I

897
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: can say from New York City here, you know, I

898
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:21,760
Speaker 1: was just telling somebody the other day I witnessed a

899
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: fight in broad daylight on the street with two lunatics

900
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: bashing each other with trop Each one had trash cans

901
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:28,959
Speaker 1: and they were hitting each other with them. The cops

902
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,359
Speaker 1: did nothing. Democrats, I think, are finally starting to get

903
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: a little bit freaked out on this, as in it

904
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: might cost them. What do you think about this? You know,

905
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: you know how this goes. The culture has declined, and

906
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:46,959
Speaker 1: along with the culture that includes crime and punishment, law

907
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: and order, but personal responsibility is the big thing. Tonight

908
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: on my television broadcast which we live on, Bill O'Reilly

909
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 1: dot com, everybody can get us there. I opened the

910
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: show with, you know, the government exists for two purposes

911
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 1: and two purposes only. That is to provide protection for

912
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 1: its citizens and to provide a pathway to prosperity. That's

913
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: the only reason the federal, state and local governments exist.

914
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: Those two simple reasons keep you safe, give you an opportunity.

915
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: So to keep you safe thing is gone because of

916
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: the progressive movement, which sees America as a racist, evil

917
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: country that only goes after African Americans and wants to

918
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: hurt them. Therefore, we got to break down the prison

919
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: systems and the policing system and build it up again

920
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: in our vision. That's what has happened. So when you

921
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: in New York City, because I live here too, have

922
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: a government and a district a term knees four out

923
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 1: of five of them that will not prosecute dangerous people

924
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: will not do it, then you're going to have more

925
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 1: dangerous people because they can get away with it, and

926
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 1: they have and they are in thousands of mostly poor

927
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: Americans are being killed because of it. And you say

928
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: to yourself, how can that be? How can that happen?

929
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 1: Because the corrupt corporate media will not report it accurately.

930
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: We're talking to Bill O'Reilly, Bill, I'm curious. We're thirty

931
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: six days from the mid terms, and everybody can have

932
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: their opinion about what's going to happen in the midterms,

933
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm curious what you think that will be. But also

934
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: building on that, do you think Joe Biden is going

935
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: to run for reelection in twenty twenty four? Buck and

936
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: I are split on that. I say, I don't think

937
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 1: Biden will. I think the Democrats are going to force

938
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: him out. Buck says he thinks they're so desperate they'll

939
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,239
Speaker 1: keep him in. What do you think happens in the

940
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,840
Speaker 1: mid term and how does that play into Biden's political

941
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: future in your mind? Well, you know that I think

942
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: Buck is a genius, right, Bill is the wisest man

943
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: I know. So this works out really well. Okay, so

944
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: Buck is desperately wrong. There you go, stay dinner. Buck.

945
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: No chance that he runs again. Bill, I'm just telling

946
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: you we're marking this audio. You're gonna have to go

947
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 1: out with Travis and I. There's this thing called Wag

948
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: you a five. You're gonna be buying me. It's very expensive.

949
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: So you're with me, though, Bill, you think there's no

950
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 1: way they're gonna put him out again. Joe Biden is

951
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: the worst president two years into office in our history,

952
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 1: with the exception of James Buchanan. Good analogy. So wait,

953
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: So Bill If it's not Joe, though, who is it?

954
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,240
Speaker 1: This is always the problem. Who it is? It doesn't matter.

955
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: Newsom is circling like a Turkey buzzard. He'll have the

956
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: money to do it. But it doesn't really matter who

957
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: it is, Okay, it matters is the American people actually

958
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: wanting to improve their country again. I'm a simple man.

959
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 1: You don't get simpler than I am. Two years ago

960
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: we had in the United States the most prosperous economy

961
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: on earth. In this space of two years, the Democratic

962
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: Party and Joe Biden have destroyed the economy. There isn't

963
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: two sides to that story. If you want to think

964
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,439
Speaker 1: Putin did it, then you go right ahead and think

965
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: Putin did it. But those of us in the right,

966
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 1: in the real world understand the dismantling of the American

967
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: fuel industry, the insanity of the spending at the federal level,

968
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: which is eroded all savings in four oh one case.

969
00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 1: So if you like that, if you think that's good,

970
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: then you'd vote for Biden again, wouldn't you think? I

971
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: think right. I think you're brilliant on this one, as

972
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 1: much of a genius as Buck may be, but so

973
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,919
Speaker 1: building off that if you let on something, go ahead. Yeah.

974
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,959
Speaker 1: If Biden is not running, and I agree with you,

975
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: what does I know? You know him really well and

976
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 1: we love having him on the show. How does that

977
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: impact President Trump's calculus on his potentially running in twenty

978
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: four if he's running against an uncertain democrat as opposed

979
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 1: to thinking he's going up against Biden again, how do

980
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 1: you think he would analyze that? It doesn't matter to him.

981
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter to him, all right. The only person

982
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: that would rattle him would be Michelle Obama. So, Michelle

983
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: Obama as a book coming up, and it's gonna be huge.

984
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna outsell Killing the Legends, and it breaks my

985
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 1: heart to say it sell a lot of copies. Yea,

986
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 1: all right, but Michelle will will trump me. Pardon a pun.

987
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama is the only Democrat in the country that

988
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: could really go toe to toe with Trump as far

989
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: as a populist is concerned. She would run as a populist.

990
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: That's what Trump runs as. Okay, But we have to

991
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: get by the midterms first, because I'm not sure the

992
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: American public now at this point in history, I don't

993
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 1: know what it is. But you know, the Democratic party

994
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: in November should not get one vote. They should be

995
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:26,720
Speaker 1: shut out. What are you voting for more dead poor people?

996
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 1: Are you voting for more undocumented people in the country

997
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: in a sense that we don't even know who or

998
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 1: where they are are? Are you voting for more inflation?

999
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: Do you want to pay more for the stuff you

1000
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: need to live? Is that what you're voting for? So

1001
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: they should get no votes. And it doesn't matter what

1002
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 1: clowns are running on the republic and they have plenty

1003
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: of clowns running on the Republican side. They do, I mean.

1004
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons we don't have the leadership

1005
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: in both parties that we should have is because good,

1006
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: smart people don't want to get their throats cut out

1007
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 1: by this fame power thing that we have in this

1008
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: country is so dangerous. They don't want to go into

1009
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: the arena. And that's a subtext to the book. But

1010
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: Trump himself would be wise to disappear for a month,

1011
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: let the mid terms play out. If they go the

1012
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: way I think they will go, Republicans will be very

1013
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: happy on November ninth, But then it shapes up to

1014
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: be who's going to be the next president. And basically

1015
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: Trump has a pivot and run on his record and

1016
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 1: stop with the crazy stuff that he's putting out there.

1017
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: Would you guys agree with that? I mean, I think

1018
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see what position he's in if

1019
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 1: Republicans do really well Bill in the mid terms without

1020
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: him even on the ticket there. And obviously Ron de

1021
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: Santist is someone that a lot of folks are going

1022
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,799
Speaker 1: to be talking about regardless. So yeah, I mean, we'll see,

1023
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: but we're definitely gonna have you back on to talk

1024
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: about both about the election and whoever ends up being

1025
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: the Democrat nominee. So but you're not gonna right now

1026
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: just Bill, You're not putting your money down on one.

1027
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: Democratic could be anybody but Biden as far as you're concerned,

1028
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 1: that's where we are. There's nobody. There isn't anybody. So

1029
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is done. I mean the fact that Kamala

1030
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 1: Harris came over the weekend and said hurricane relief should

1031
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:20,560
Speaker 1: be granted by skin color that she's done. Right, I

1032
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: think they're done. I both think it's probably gonna be

1033
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,479
Speaker 1: New Sabot. We're about to run into a station heartbreaker. Bill.

1034
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: The book is killing the legends, the Lethal Danger of celebrity.

1035
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: Look at how much we like talking to him. You

1036
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: guys can all read the book The Lethal Danger of

1037
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: Celebrity Killing the Legends Bill O'Reilly, Thank you sir, all right,

1038
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: we'll talk to you guys. Thanks for having me. You know,

1039
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: Biden didn't have a lot of testosterone left. A lot

1040
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: of you out there might say Biden doesn't have a

1041
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:47,839
Speaker 1: lot of anything left. I don't think there's any way

1042
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to run him in twenty twenty four.

1043
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: But if Biden were going to run, the only way

1044
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: that he could possibly have enough energy, vitality, vim vigor

1045
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,440
Speaker 1: in any respects is to take as much chalk as

1046
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: he possibly could every day, all day long. I still

1047
00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 1: don't know that he'd be able to speak coherently, but

1048
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: at least maybe he'd have a little bit more testosterone

1049
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: in his body. Look, energy is improved when you have

1050
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: a restored level of testosterone in the body. For years, men,

1051
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: all men, have seen a steady decrease in testosterone levels

1052
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: all over this country, and that has corresponded too much

1053
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: less energy in our population. That's why you need Chalk's

1054
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 1: male vitality stack. Joe Biden definitely needs it. Every man

1055
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: who works in the Biden White House needs it. Monday's

1056

Speaker 1: a tough day. Every day is a tough day when
