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

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: as we roll into the program. As we are speaking

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: to you, unless it has ended in the last few minutes.

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: They are finally the FBI is getting around to searching

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's Delaware beach house to see whether or not

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: there are any classified documents there. This now is essentially

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: three months after the first classified documents were found at

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: the Penn Biden Center. We know that the FBI has

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: searched there. We know that the FBI has searched now

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: in the Wilmington, Delaware home primary residents of Joe Biden.

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: They are now at the Rhoboth Beach House searching. Here

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: is a news update on that search, which is, as

15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: we said, currently going on. This is NBC's Kristen Welker

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: discussing the consensual consensual search. We are told, and this

17
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: is an important point that there is no search warrant,

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: that the White House Counsel's Office is investigating, and that

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: this was planned. But such an important point, and I

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: just want to underscore that. According to a source familiar

21
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: with the matter, the White House Counsel's Office is cooperating

22
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: fully with this search. There was no search warrant that

23
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: was issued. This was pre planned, So this was not

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: a surprise search. This is something that they've been doing

25
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: in coordination with the White House Counsel's Office. It's just

26
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: real quick. Remember remember Frank the tank in old school.

27
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: What he starts swinging the chair on. As we've said,

28
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: she's basically screaming at everybody. It's a planned search. You

29
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: gotta keep your composure. You gotta keep your composure. I

30
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: don't think people are feeling so good the Democrat Party

31
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: right now. Look, we said on this program as soon

32
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: as this story broke that there had to be a

33
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: search of Joe Biden's beach house, and there had to

34
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: be a search at Joe Biden's primary residence. It took

35
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: months for this actually to occur, and I saw a

36
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: Miranda Divine, a friend of ours who posted on Twitter.

37
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: But it kind of tied into a lot of what

38
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: we have discussed. I will be stunned if they find

39
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: any classified documents at Joe Biden's beach house, because they

40
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: have now had three months on top of the screw

41
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: up at the Wilmington residence, where they also found classified documents.

42
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: Surely they have done away with whatever classified documents might

43
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: be in the beach house. Joe Biden has traveled there

44
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: multiple times since since the initial discovery of the documents

45
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: took place in the Penn Biden Center. I just I

46
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: would be flabbergasted if even if there were classified documents there,

47
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: buck if they're still recoverable. I think that part of

48
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: this is that they're trying to move through the Special

49
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Council and dibidens as quickly as they can, and so

50
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: that's why they're now they're reporting on how, oh, it's

51
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: a planned search, and you could tell the reporters like, yeah,

52
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: don't everybody freak out. Okay, it's a it's not a

53
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: moral ago rate here, We're not freaking out. It's a

54
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: little bit of nervousness. But I think that their plan

55
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: is to get this done before the reelection season really

56
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: is underway in a meaningful way, and that and so

57
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: they hope by by talking about how they're planning the

58
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: searches and and they're making sure there's nothing left there,

59
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: they can essentially put this aside. I increasingly view this

60
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: and look, it's really tough to see this, Clay, right,

61
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough to see this in advance. I

62
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: think that there is a lot of the anxiety of

63
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: this isn't even so much. Oh my gosh, the sitting

64
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: president is a moron, which they knew all along when

65
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,839
Speaker 1: they voted for this guy. That's actually not new, right,

66
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: But it's the recognition that it does have to be Biden,

67
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: and he is making this a lot harder and he's

68
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: not going to be able to run from the basement.

69
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: He's not going to be able to have COVID. Just

70
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: sort of remember the whole thing about Trump was, oh

71
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: he mishandled COVID and we're in all people were miserable

72
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: and they voted, some of them and let's not get

73
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: into how many voted. We'll talk about that another day

74
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: for change from the misery. Right, as you've said, a

75
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: million times, do is Donald Trump? If the elections held

76
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, does Donald Trump lose? No, he does

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: not lose. Even if they're trying to do everything they

78
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: can to beat him and rig the game in every

79
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: way they could, Trump would have won comfortably in twenty nineteen,

80
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: and so I think right now with the document situation,

81
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: what they see playing out is we have no choice

82
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: but this guy and this guy. Because remember, originally people thought, oh,

83
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: they're trying to push him aside, he's a bridge. And

84
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: maybe there were a few people involved in this process

85
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: who did see that. I'm not saying that that theory

86
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: was entirely off or that. I mean, look, I thought

87
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: for a second there maybe it was true. But now

88
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: given the way this process is playing out, that the

89
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: fact clay at some level that they have put this

90
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: special counsel on and I think means they're trying to

91
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: cross the t's dot the eyes and get past this

92
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: before the election. And I think they're also having some

93
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Hillary email trauma come up in their minds because they

94
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: thought they were going to be able to put that

95
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: one to bed and they weren't. And this one it's

96
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: not clear. I mean, it's your point. If they find

97
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: stuff in Rehobeth at this stage, you've got to think

98
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden was papering his walls was classified and

99
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: just didn't care. I mean, it was totally reckless. Yeah,

100
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 1: and remember he's speaking for the state of the Union

101
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, so six days from now, February seventh, I believe.

102
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: And you think the State of the Union before all

103
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: this classified document scandal blew up, you do the State

104
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: of the Union. Maybe you'll wait a couple of weeks

105
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: and then sometime late February early March, the official rollout

106
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's running for president again in twenty twenty

107
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: four happens. Has the classified documents scandal created a challenge

108
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: to that schedule in some way? I would say probably yes.

109
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: By the way, we should mention, Nicky Hayley is scheduled

110
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: to announce, according to multiple reports, on February fifteenth, the

111
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: day after Valentine's Day, just a couple of weeks from now,

112
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: that she will be officially contending in the twenty twenty

113
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: four Republican primary. Joining and I didn't even know he

114
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: was in there, John Bolton, who evidently announced at some point,

115
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump, with the expectation of Pompeo, Pence, maybe

116
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: tem Scott. Certainly, I think that Ron DeSantis is going

117
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: to run all of those figures stepping into the fray,

118
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: and that ties me into this buck. I saw this

119
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: quote come out from Donald Trump, and I'm curious how

120
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: you would analyze this, But Trump on truth Social is

121
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: stepping up up his battle with Ron de Santis. We

122
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: played you the audio yesterday where DeSantis, I think, took

123
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: a pretty like kind of a little bit under the

124
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: radar shot at Trump by saying, the people render a

125
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 1: judgment on reelection in my case meaning De Santas saying,

126
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: in my case, I won by nineteen points. Trump obviously

127
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: did not win in twenty twenty. And Trump has just

128
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: posted on truth Social the real Ron is a all

129
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: caps rhino globalist who closed quickly down Florida and even

130
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: its beaches, loved the vaccines, and wasted big money on

131
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: testing how quickly people forget. Okay, so this is going

132
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: to be an issue. We're gonna always look to what

133
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: we know, right. I mean, if Trump says, you know,

134
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Ron doesn't have the persona, the skills, the expertise to

135
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: run the country, people can argue that m way or

136
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: the other. But when Trump says that Ron is guilty

137
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: of shutting down super early and not doing a good

138
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: job on COVID and loving the vaccines, he is going

139
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: directly into the strength of rohnd scantists. I think the

140
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: strongest single area. I was fleeing to Florida in the

141
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty personally because of what Rhonda Santists

142
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: did in the state. Okay, so you know, we can't

143
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: get into this. Who do you believe you know me

144
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: or your lying eyes situation with Trump on this stuff,

145
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: it's not going to go well. There are other areas

146
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: where he can make it. You know, he can say

147
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm the Trump saying I'm the only one who can win.

148
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm the only one who can govern. I'm the only

149
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: one who can Those are all areas where I think,

150
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: you know, he's got he's got the upper hand. He does. Yeah,

151
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: Trump saying Rhonda Santist was bad on COVID and like

152
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: the vaccine. So but Trump said that the vaccine saved

153
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: one hundred million lives a week ago. Yeah, so's he's

154
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: got to he's got to pick his lane here because

155
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: we are paying attention, we are seeing what's going on.

156
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: I think it's the worst scene goal avenue of attack

157
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: Donald Trump could have on rand De Santis. I mean,

158
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: this is like saying Glen Yuncan is too short. Glen

159
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: yunkn is like six nine. Okay, he's not too short.

160
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: Say what do you want about it? Yeah? It is.

161
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: And to me, what it does is reinforce frankly, Trump's

162
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: failures on COVID because you can criticize Rhonda Santis for

163
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: a lot, right, That's what politics is. You get criticized

164
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: on a variety of different fronts. If you told the

165
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: De Santis people, where do you want Trump to fight

166
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: the battle of the twenty twenty four presidential nominating fight

167
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: on weather, de Santis treated COVID too seriously and locked

168
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: down too aggressively. That why have almost the lane? Why

169
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: have three hundred and fifty thousand people moved to Florida

170
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: in the last two and a half years. We all

171
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: know why, because of what Florida did during COVID. This

172
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: is the the single weakest and and it's you know, dude,

173
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: you and I we we voted for Trump. We like Trump.

174
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: I like Donald Trump as a person. You like Donald Trump.

175
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: He did a great job in office as president. He's

176
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: got to go after the things that are are are

177
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: gonna make sense, They're gonna resonate. I don't know, I

178
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: don't know who's advising him right now, but whoever's advising

179
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: him in the way he's going after desantist is not

180
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: is not serving him well. Honestly, DeSantis insisted that every

181
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: single school in Florida be open and that no one

182
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: be required to wear masks in July and August of

183
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Buck that isn't I mean, the kids in

184
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and parts of California are still wearing masks to

185
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: this day. This is the single worst avenue we can

186
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: attack him. I also think it elevates de Santis because

187
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: right now Trump's in the lead in many states, certainly

188
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: in national polling. But I think when Trump is attacking

189
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: a guy who hasn't even announced for the office yet, One,

190
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: it looks like he's afraid of him. In my opinion. Now,

191
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't think Trump's afraid of anybody, but I think

192
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: that's how it comes off. And two, I think he's

193
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: choosing to attack him in the worst possible space. Yeah. Look,

194
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: you and I both know this from just being a

195
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: public person who gets attacked. They're the people who attack you,

196
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: even who are public people themselves, and you ignore because

197
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: it's just not you know, when Keith Olberman, you know,

198
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: attacks you may Yes, he's sad. I feel I feel badly.

199
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: He's a sad old man. No one cares. You know,

200
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: there's nothing, so it's not worth getting into with him.

201
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: But occasionally somebody will throw you know, somebody will throw

202
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: a jab or a right cross at you, and you

203
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: know it's go time. Right. You're kind of saying, you know,

204
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: Trump is kind of saying that, you know, he thinks

205
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: that Ron is the guy that he has to throw

206
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: shots at first, which is indicative of a concern over

207
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: the dynamic right now in the momentum. And I just

208
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: think that, you know, to attack Ron on COVID is

209
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: very I mean, look, does anyone, I don't know what

210
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: we'll does anyone think that that's actually a valid because

211
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: I Trump was Trump was angry at Georgia for opening

212
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: too early. Yes, I spoke to the President in the

213
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: Oval in May of twenty twenty about COVID and I

214
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: was begging him, sir, you gotta stop with these. He

215
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: let Fauci take over. I hate to say it, Fauci

216
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: and Burkes were calling the shots, and early on you

217
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: could say that's not his fault because you know, they

218
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: were the experts, et cetera. By May June twenty twenty,

219
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: it had to be. You know, he should have ousted them.

220
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: They should have been sidelined. So if we're gonna if

221
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a fight over who handled COVID better,

222
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: it's got to be a fight over who handled for

223
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: Trump China, trade, the economy, the border. Those are areas

224
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: where Trump can can do some victory laps COVID not

225
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: so much. Eight hundred and two A two two eight

226
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: e two. Maybe some of you disagree and think that

227
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: the Santis is vulnerable there, buck My general position is

228
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: it's hard to judge anybody on March of twenty twenty

229
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: because it was such a total and complete cluster, you

230
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: know what. And there was some time there where Desantists

231
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: shut down beaches and that was happening everywhere in the nation.

232
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: But by April in May, Desantist was leading one of

233
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: the free estates in the country. And that is just

234
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: I think the single worst area where Trump could be

235
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: attacking him. There were people before Trump, before DeSantis's reelection,

236
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: there were governors in far more read states, meaning just

237
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, they totally Republican top to bottom, who refused

238
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: to protect people from vaccine mandates in the private sector. Yeah,

239
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis said, Nah, not in my state. You're

240
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: not doing that. You're not forcing shots people don't need

241
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: into their arms on pain of firing them from their job.

242
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: They're antidiscrimination laws. There are a lot of employment laws

243
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: in the books. Some governors wanted to take big money

244
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: from big Pharma. Some governors had other things in mind.

245
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: Ron was good on this one. Yeah, and Buck. I'll

246
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: just say from my personal experience, I moved my whole

247
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: family only to Florida in May of twenty twenty and

248
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: lived down there for that month. Kids were out of school.

249
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: We spend a lot of time in Florida, and De

250
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: Santis was really good. In May of twenty twenty, all

251
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: the restaurants were opening up. You know, by May of

252
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, Florida was basically one hundred percent hotels were open,

253
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: basically one hundred percent back to normal. How many places

254
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: in America can you say that about. I think it's

255
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: hard to attack him. You know, if you're going to

256
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: criticize Tom Brady, probably best not to say he doesn't

257
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: know how to throw a football right, or he didn't

258
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: win enough Super Bowls. He lost three super Bowls, that's true,

259
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: he won seven, But what Trump's doing is like going

260
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: after Brady because he lost too many Super Bowls eight

261
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: hundred two two two eight eight two. If we're missing something,

262
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: folks on this and we always want to hear from me,

263
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be ongoing conversation. I just want to point

264
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: this out to do you know what matters the most?

265
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: We don't have four more years of a Democrat running

266
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: this country. How much more damage do you think Joe

267
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: Biden can do with four more years? I really think

268
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: about that one for a second. We gotta get this

269
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: one right. This next election is critical and you can

270
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: already feel these dynamics and this battle playing out right now.

271
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: If your cell phone services with AT and T, Verizon

272
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: or T Mobile, guess what, you're paying too much? Switch

273
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: to pure Talk. That's my cell phone company a choice

274
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: and save more than fifty or sixty bucks a month

275
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: for the same quality of service. That's because pure Talk

276
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: uses the same towers and network as the big companies.

277
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: It's great nationwide five G service at a better price.

278
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: What makes switching your pure Talk even better is the

279
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: company itself. It's better and owned US based customer service team.

280
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: Just to give you a sense of them, they don't

281
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: put up with anything woke, so you don't see them

282
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: advertising on all the fake news networks and doing that nonsense.

283

Speaker 1: is simply smarter wireless play Travis and Buck Sexton voices

290
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: of sanity an Insane World. Welcome back to Clay Anne Back.

291
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: We're talking about the back and forth. Well really it's

292
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: actually just a back and not a fourth or a

293
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: fourth or not a back. It's just kind of one

294
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: way so far. A little bit of a pushback from

295
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis to some of the Trump tump Trump criticisms

296
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: of him, specifically on COVID. It's note, though, the Trump

297
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: is actually putting out some really good videos. For example,

298
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: play clip ten. Here he's talking about Title nine, no

299
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: parent having their child forced to assume a new gender.

300
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: Play clip ten. The bill will also make clear the

301
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: Title nine prohibits men from participating in women's sports, and

302
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: we will protect the rights of parents from being forced

303
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: to allow their minor child to assume a gender which

304
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: is new and an identity without the parents consent, the

305
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: identity will not be new, and it will not be

306
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: without parental consent. No serious country should be telling its

307
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: children that they were born with the wrong gender, a

308
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: concept that was never heard of in all of human history.

309
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 1: Nobody's ever heard of this what's happening today. It was

310
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: all when the Radica left invented it just a few

311
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: years ago. Under my leadership, this madness will end Clay.

312
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: To me, the short policy videos he's putting out have

313
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: been right on target. Yeah, you know. The attacks on

314
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: decantists I think are just objectively not landing the way

315
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: that he would want them to. But the video seem

316
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: to be on point. His video policies are one hundred

317
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: percent right what he is saying there. No men should

318
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: be competing against women. Overwhelming majorities of the public agree

319
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: with you shouldn't be able to suddenly flip your gender,

320
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: and certainly parents of kids that are trying to do

321
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: that are entitled to know it. He's right on all that,

322
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: which is why I think there's a miscalculation on the descantists.

323
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,840

Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton on the lines. Welcome back in

342
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: Clay Travis, Buck Sexton Show. We're gonna take some of

343
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: your calls talking about Trump the Santists? Is Trump attacking

344
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: the Santists and landing blows Buck? You put up a poll.

345
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: All of you out there listening to us right now

346
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: can go vote in it. Lay out the poll and

347
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: what the results are showing so far. Well, this is

348
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: just based on folks who are using Twitter and wise

349
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: enough for Twitter users to follow me. You got to

350
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: be following Clay in Buck where well Clay Travis and

351
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: Buck Sex and we have two separate accounts. You should

352
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: be following us. We also have a Clay on Buck

353
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: account which is fun. But we have almost seven thousand

354
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: votes in. Eighty eight percent say that the attacks on

355
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: de Santists are flailing. Twelve percent say they are landing.

356
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: So again, any Twitter poll we're not claiming is representative

357
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: sample of the entire nation. But if eighty eight percent

358
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: of people and you just put this poll up about

359
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: five minutes ago, are all reacting and saying that he

360
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: is flailing, that gives you some snapshot of what the

361
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: Twitter audience following us is saying. Now, we opened up

362
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: phone lines eight hundred two eight two two eight eight

363
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: two Mary in Ohio. What do you think about Trump

364
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: going after to Santis? So? I loved Trump as a president.

365
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: He outworked everybody, he had great policies. But the fact

366
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: is that he has been smeared so bad by the media.

367
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he's reelectable honestly. So who would you

368
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: vote for? I mean, obviously we're just now starting to

369
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: find out who the nominees are going to be. Who

370
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: do you like in twenty four to Santus? Okay, Sannis

371
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: a thousand times, thank you for the call, Mary, And look,

372
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: I just want to get people's reactions here. Jordan in

373
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Jordan, what do you think we'll love guys?

374
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: Amazon drover Jordan. My thing is the big issue with

375
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: Trump is love him. The greatest president in my lifetime.

376
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: But the problem is it's safe to Sants runs and

377
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: beats Trump and gets the nomination. I do not think

378
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: for a second that Trump will back to sant is

379
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: almost kind of like a Teddy Roosevelt thing, correct and

380
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong historically, but almost like wanting to run.

381
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: It's like a third party which would completely guarantee the

382
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: Democrats would win, Like no unification. You know what I'm saying,

383
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: that's the fearbuck. Thank you for the call, Jordan, be

384
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: safe out on the road. Amazon driver. We know how

385
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: you guys are everywhere I say, you know that fear

386
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: the Amazon drivers we often see truck drivers. Thank you

387
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: so much. Amazon drivers, thank you so much. Just as

388
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: a side note, I think I have probably had hundreds

389
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: of hours of my life, if not thousands, saved by

390
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: the fact that you could have so many things to liverage.

391
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: It's a remarkable age we live in. I'm just saying

392
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: so thank you to all the times who deliver the

393
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: packages because I hate shopping. I shop on my phone

394
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: for everything. Anyway, there is a there's a story out

395
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: I need to find it where Politico basically old and

396
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: said how many Trump supporters would vote for him third

397
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: party and it would be enough as Jordan and North Carolina.

398
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: Amazon truck driver just said to potentially hand whichever Democrat

399
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: were running for the office the presidency. I see, Here's

400
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 1: why I don't think Trump would do that. Yeah, I

401
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: don't believe Trump would do that because I think, look,

402
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: Trump is a man of healthy ego. I think we

403
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: could say, as a man of healthy ego, maybe a

404
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: tremendous understatement. He did something in twenty sixteen that set

405
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: the Republican Party in a new direction, changed the way

406
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: the right does politics, how we fight, how we think

407
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: about the use of power on our side. There's a

408
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: lot of legacy there no matter what happens here in

409
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: this primary. As far as I'm concerned, if I'm trying

410
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: to look at how this will go down in history,

411
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has that legacy intact that he did something

412
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: that he had a great first term as president, covid basic,

413
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: you know, and all the Shenanigans and the Democrats stole it.

414
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: I mean it was a lightning strike, meteor comment, hitting

415
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: the you know, hitting the earth kind of situation any

416
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: won or you know, And he lost Biden one if

417
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: you were to run third party in hand four more

418
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: years to the Democrats. In the process, he destroys his legacy.

419
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: And I think he knows that. So I don't believe.

420
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: And I think he loves I honestly think he loves

421
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: his country too much for that. I do believe that.

422
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: So while it is a you know, we're going to

423
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: talk about it as a possibility, I think at the

424
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: end of the day, Donald Trump knows that his legacy,

425
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: his name, his brand are bigger than running a third

426
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: party spoiler candidacy to just let the Democrats, you know,

427
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: push transgender surgery for kids for four more years. You

428
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't think he'll do it.

429
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: I get it. That's a fear that's lingering out there.

430
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: Heather in North Carolina weighing in as well. Heather, what

431
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: do you think? I agree with you guys. I think

432
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump does have a legacy, and I think

433
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: that he did a lot of great things as president.

434
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: And I think that he did wake up the American

435
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: people by not being politically correct and by calling out

436
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: the lift. However, I do think if he's going to

437
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: be successful in the future, he needs to stop the

438
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: personal attacks, attack the policy, and leave the person along.

439
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: You know. I think, by the way, I think that's

440
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: various student analysis. Thank you very much for calling in.

441
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: I would say, Clay, you know what would play to

442
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: Trump's strengths here, even even running against Assantis. And I

443
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: know we're gonna be doing a lot of a lot

444
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: of on the fly strategy here for all kinds of candidates,

445
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: and just be honest with everybody about what we're seeing

446
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: and how it seems to be playing out. Trump's saying

447
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: Ron is a great governor. Ron has done a phenomenal

448
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: job on COVID. Ron can't win at the national level

449
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: against this Democrat machine. I can Ron will have his time,

450
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: and you know, and I'll work with Ron when the

451
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: time comes. And that to me is Trump's smartest approach.

452
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: Right to be the big because you're inherently the bigger man, right,

453
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: Trump basically saying, I'm Obi wan Kenobi, and I still

454
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: have some things I gotta teach young Skywalker that I

455
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: think people can say, you know, maybe, but Trump saying, yes,

456
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: Skywalker sucks. That guy can't swing a lightsaber to save

457
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: his life. That's not gonna fly. That's not a bad

458
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: angle at all. And if you think about it, Trump

459
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: I Think's best pitch is I've been president before. I

460
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: will hit the ground running on day one. And if

461
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: you think they're going to attack me, so what I

462
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: can only serve four more years now, desantists can stay

463
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: till twenty twenty six. Guys. I'll endorse who I think

464
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: the best candidate is for twenty twenty eight, and I

465
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: think it may well be Ron de Santis. But guess what,

466
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: I'm the best by far in twenty twenty four. That

467
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: is a pitch that I think a lot of people

468
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: would respond to him. Trump co opting Desantists into the

469
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: broader movement make gives him far less place to run.

470
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: Saying Ron de Santists did a bad job on COVID

471
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: is just He's just gonna get laughed at. Trump is

472
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: gonna get laughed at if he does that. People are

473
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: not because there are two men any of us who

474
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: experience firsthand what was actually going on in Florida during COVID,

475
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: which was you know, it was like I said, it

476
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: was leaving East Germany and arriving in West Germany circle

477
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five. I mean, it was just remarkable. And

478
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: so you're that's the worst possible The worst possible attack

479
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: is one that everyone knows is false. Yes, and that

480
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 1: also ties in with Trump still is bragging about the

481
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: vaccine himself. So how can you attack like that's a

482
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: bad that's a bad battleground. I think, I'm honestly, I

483
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: don't know if Trump's people are listening right now, they

484
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: should be, Uh, you know, the template if he wants

485
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: to win this primary is to be big, to show

486
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: that he's the elder statesmen, bigger than the petty all

487
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: of his eyre goes against. You know, it's same thing

488
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: with you and me. We don't. We never sit here

489
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: and trash people on the right. Some people on the

490
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: right annoy me. Politicians we criticize. But other people that

491
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: are doing what we do in this business, we support them.

492
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: We're friends with other people on the right. We try

493
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: to help them sell their books because we're about the

494
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: movement right. We want the movement to succeed. Trump takes

495
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: that approach to the Republican Party into the right and

496
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: shows himself to be above the petty nonsense, but still

497
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: the right guy for the job that I think is

498
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: compelling to enough voters that he could get it done.

499
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: The the you know, the shots in the in the

500
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: kidneys when Decantist isn't looking, that's not gonna that's not

501
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: gonna work. JB in Texas, what do you think for

502
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 1: carrying a torch man? Uh? Yeah, the one thing. Yeah,

503
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for Desantist or Trump whoever or whomever. Yeah,

504
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: the nominee is. But I something that hasn't been to

505
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: say of these Trump's already thoughts the fought he can

506
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: afford to fight the lest. I'm afraid if Desantist gets

507
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: in there too early. I don't think he can fight

508
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: the lest economically, I mean the gootigations and the you know,

509
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: politically he's fine, but economically I think Truck's stronger and

510
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: personal finances or yeah, that your argument is that if

511
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: he's getting sued, that Trump's you know, a billionaire and

512
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: he has the resources and de Santists wouldn't that that

513
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: may not be a bad point, but it's something to

514
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: think about. I think, well, look, this is an interesting angle.

515
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: I think Trump, going back to his twenty sixteen campaign

516
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: and to a certain extent in twenty twenty, the billionaire

517
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: status for Trump matters in this way, Buck, And I'm

518
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: curious if you would agree. It basically means Trump doesn't

519
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: have to do anything to curry favor with anyone. He's

520
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: already super rich. And so this idea of oh, he's

521
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: gonna be like the Clinton's or the Obama's or other

522
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: people who were not wealthy and then got very wealthy

523
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: in politics. Trump is already wealthy. More money to him

524
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: is not significant. DeSantis doesn't really have any assets. I mean,

525
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: I think you know that he published. I think he

526
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: still has a loan debt from going to get his

527
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: law degree. I think he's only worth a couple one

528
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. I'm not concerned about all the frivolous

529
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: lawsuits that will rain down. He'll have enough for resources

530
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: to be able to defend himself there. But what DeSantis

531
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have that Trump has is that independent wealth to say, hey,

532
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm doing what's best for the country, which I think

533
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: is a strong argument for Trump because DeSantis is like

534
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: a normal guy. But I think that also cuts in

535
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: his favor, right, Like you can see how both they're

536
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: very different in terms of their personalities and personal life.

537
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: DeSantis is married to one woman, still in his forties,

538
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: three young kids. Trump has got a fully grown families, grandpa.

539
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the financial but I do think

540
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: that helps Trump a little bit in terms of establishing independence.

541
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: Look the fact that we're even talking about and when

542
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: I say we, I don't just mean you and me

543
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: and everyone listening to this, but everybody in the right

544
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: across the country right now is having this discussion. And

545
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: whenever you talk about Trump and the election, you're talking

546
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: about DeSantis as well. He hasn't even said he's running.

547
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: He's the governor of Florida. So there's something obviously going

548
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: on here, right. I mean, we're all aware, and that's

549
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: why I think, you know, criticism has to be rooted

550
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: in truth or else or else. The base eventually is

551
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: just going to say, wait, hold on, what's what's going

552
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: on here? Because DeSantis is a phenomenal governor as not

553
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: just not just my opinion and your opinion. Look what

554
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: just happened in the election, you know, scoreboard results, look

555
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: at the reality. So there are other ways to make

556
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: the case. But saying he's you know, done a bad

557
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: job on COVID is not going to fly, my friends.

558
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: The tunnel of the Tower found tunnel. The Towers Foundation

559
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: delivers on its promise to do good and never forget

560
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: the sacrifice his America's heroes have made for US. Heroes

561
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: like Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Israel del Toro Junior.

562
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: He promised his father he'd take care of his family,

563
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: and he promised his son he wouldn't grow up without

564
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: a father. When his humby exploded in Afghanistan, he suffered

565
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: severe burns over more than eighty percent of his body

566
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: with only a fifteen percent chance of survival, Del Toro

567
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: focus on the promises he made. Later, he became the

568
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: first fully disabled Airmond permitted to re enlist and a

569
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: gold Meta winner in the Invictus Games. Now he shares

570
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: his story to help others. Thanks to the Tunnel to

571
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: Towers Foundation and your generosity, Del Toro received a mortgage

572
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: free smart home. The home has a range of features

573
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: to help him live his life more independently. Help heroes

574
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: like del Toro when they need it most. Donate eleven

575
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,200

Speaker 1: dot org. That's t the number two t dot org.

577
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: From the front lines of truth Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.

578
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: He's barring public high schools from teaching ap African American studies.

579
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 1: He's taking aim at drag performances, even suggesting that he

580
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: would urge the state's Child Protective Services to investigate parents

581
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: who take their own kids to one. He's actively trying

582
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: to ban COVID vaccine mandates and restricting mass rules, while

583
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: at the same time calling for probes into supposing wrongdoing

584
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,239
Speaker 1: linked to the vaccine and He's in all of this

585
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: while making sure that anyone can walk around with a gun,

586
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: no permit fire. It's a right wing fantasy land like

587
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: Disney World, but in hell come to Florida, the meanest

588
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: place on earth. Right wing fantasyland, Florida. I gotta say,

589
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: sounds pretty awesome to me in terms of walking around

590
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: with constitutional carry, which is supposed to get done here.

591
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: No COVID. The fact that they still think COVID mandates

592
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: for vaccines or masks or anything other than something to

593
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: be ashamed of pushing is truly mind blowing. Clay. Also, yeah,

594
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: keep pushing the parents who or people who have a

595
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 1: problem with adult men gyrating their butts in thongs in

596
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: front of small children. Keep pushing it. Somehow that's not weird. Yeah, good,

597
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: good luck with that. Democrats with the whole you know,

598
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: drag drag queen thing in front of the little kids.

599
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: That's all De santist doesn't think that adult men should

600
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, be shaking their their behinds and whatever in

601
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: front of small children. Yes, because Ron de Santis is

602
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: a normal person who has not been brainwashed by the Left,

603
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: I gotta say, you know, it's it's amazing branding when

604
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: you have MSNBC calling your state of right wing fantasy land,

605
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: because in all the best ways it actually is, Florida

606
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: is kind of right wing fantasy land. Now, well, what

607
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: ties in with that bucket I'm looking at? They just

608
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: release the latest data on voter registration edge in the

609
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: state of Florida. And this is the legacy as you've

610
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: got trumpet Mara Lago, and you've got the Santis in

611
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: Tallahassee and the governor's mansion right now. In twenty eighteen,

612
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: when Ron de Santis came into the office, Democrats had

613
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: a statewide edge in voter registration of two hundred and

614
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: fifty seven thousand, one hundred and seventy five voters. Buck

615
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: This is pretty crazy. In January of twenty twenty three,

616
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: which just basically has been completed, Republicans now have an

617
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: edge of just shy five thousand people shy of four

618
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: hundred thousand voters. So in the space of effectively four years,

619
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: you have seen Florida go from a blue state and

620
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: registration to not only just a red state in registration,

621
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: it's flipped by six hundred and fifty thousand voters. Now

622
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 1: we know DeSantis won by nineteen points in the state

623
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: of Florida. But the legacy to me going forward is

624
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to really screw up as Republicans to

625
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: lose the state of Florida in the presidential election or

626
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: to lose one of the statewide political offices, whether it's

627
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: one of the two senatorships or the governorship. That's a

628
00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: pretty stellar resume to have to be a to leave

629
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: behind going forward. Let's take a couple of more of

630
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: your calls. We're going to be joined by Heather McDonald.

631
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: If you heard us yesterday talking about police and the

632
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: dangers and the continuing fallout of what happened with Tyree Nichols,

633
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: Heather McDonald's got some incredible data that I think you'll

634
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: all want to hear. Ed in Louisiana. What you got

635
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: for us? Ah? Hey, what's up man? I was calling

636
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: to give my take on the Trump the Santist. Yeah,

637
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: what do you think protocol? Well, I've been I've been

638
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: working on looking at the big picture. See, Trump knows

639
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: he's got his base and his voters, he's working to

640
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: get nation wide votes. So he did that to activate them.

641
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: Just like the sound bite you just played, he did

642
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: that to activate votes from other people, as far as

643
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: to say, look how I handled the virus. That's why

644
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: he's playing boat fields on it, because he wants to

645
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: activate the people. You think Trump is making a play

646
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: for Democrats and independence by attacking the Santists on COVID, Yes, sir,

647
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: he's seeing the big pictures as he's trying to win.

648
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: He's playing ball. What he might throw things out there

649
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean he's not necessarily attacking the Santist He's

650
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: just throwing things out there to get mask mandate people

651
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: and vaccine people active active in the conversation to say, oh,

652
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: DeSantis is totally against all of this stuff. But see,

653
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate your call. I think that helps de Santists

654
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 1: in the Republican primary. Yes, if mask people are like,

655
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: oh DeSantis hates masks, then people and you and me

656
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,479
Speaker 1: buck are like, yeah, God bless him. He's not running

657
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: a general election strategy right now. And by the way, honestly,

658
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: if someone still I don't want someone voted for my candidate,

659
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: if they still think we should have mask mandates, because

660
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: they're out of their minds. Yeah, the data on that

661
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: is so clear that again that's our point is that

662
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 1: the way Trump is attacking De Santists actually is helping

663
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: De Santists more than it's helping Trump. Head of McDonald next,
