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 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis and

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show starts now. I hope you all had

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: a very RESTful Labor Day weekend. We are now in

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: the sprint phase, headed to the very end. Here to

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: a finish line of the midterm election breakdown. The latest

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: for you all on this. How is it looking the

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: key races, key states, plus a big win for Team

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Trump with regard to the Maralago raid and in this case,

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: the appointment of a special Master by a federal judge.

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: We will discuss that why it's a big deal. Friend

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: Annie McCarthy will actually be with us talk a bit

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: about why it's a big win for Trump. Also, Molly Hemingway,

14
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: who is the editor of The Federalist, she'll be joining

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: talk about mid terms and Biden so much more. Biden

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: was in Milwaukee over the weekend and saying all kinds

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: of stuff. We will certainly be breaking that down as well.

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: I want to begin with this. You know, Clay, I

19
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: was in California over the weekend. I was there for

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: a wedding and my general theory about all this is

21
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: California is a fantastic state that is being ruined by Libs.

22
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: The Commies have overrun the government there and also just

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: the system I mean, I mean local government, I mean

24
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: the teachers unions or everything there. Right, the Democrat power

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: apparatus in California is destroying the state and by the

26
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: time even Californians really recognize that it will be too late.

27
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: There were multiple warnings over the weekend telling people in

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: California to avoid using too much electricity at certain times

29
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: because that might cause blackouts, which is something we generally

30
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: expect in the Third world. And I think everyone's realizing

31
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: we are heading for some major energy catastrophes ahead here

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: in this country. In Europe, a lot to breakdown here.

33
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: I want to remind everybody that Joe Biden said back

34
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: during when he was running for president, or back in March.

35
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, in March of twenty twenty debating Bertie Sanders,

36
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: no more drilling on federal land, no more subsidies for

37
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: phospiphili industry, no more drilling on federal lands, no more drilling,

38
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: including offshore, no ability for the oil industry to continue

39
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: to drill, period. Yeah, that's when he was saying when

40
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: he wanted to get the Libs to elect him, and

41
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: people forgot what the price of energy actually means. Clay.

42
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: The Biden administration, according to the Wall Street Journal, has

43
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: leased fewer acres for oil and gas drilling than any

44
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: administration since basically we were drilling for oil in the

45
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: first place. You got to go back to like the

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: World War two era for this. The energy prices, the

47
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: natural gas prices have tripled. This is an economic crisis

48
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: caused by Democrat lunacy. Yeah, and buckets intentional. And I'm

49
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: glad you brought that up, because the numbers on this

50
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: are staggering. I was reading it this morning. President Biden's

51
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: Interior Department least one hundred and twenty six thousand acres

52
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: for drilling in its first nineteen months in office. That's

53
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: the lowest since Richard Nixon in nineteen sixty nine, nineteen seventy.

54
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: Do you know what Nixon leased out four point four

55
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: million acres. So it's not only that Biden is doing

56
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: this at this kind of level, it's that it's truly

57
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: unprecedented what he is doing and what this does. Obviously,

58
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: and we got a lot of people access all over

59
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: the oil and gas industry who are listening to us

60
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: will be down in Austin doing the show live on

61
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday, interacting with a lot of those people.

62
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: What that's doing, Buck, is it's handcuffing us, not only

63
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: right now, but in particular in the years ahead, because

64
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: it takes years to get all of these oil and

65
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: gas wells up and running, and so what he's doing

66
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: is not only hamstringing the current industry, but potentially these

67
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: issues are going to become even more paramount in the

68
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: years ahead after he's out of office. With so many

69
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: policy issues, we see a pattern repeating. I think on

70
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: energy it's one of the most clear, but it's true.

71
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: On crime, it's true, on the border, inflation, government spending,

72
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: they do stuff. Clay, the Democrats promise to do certain things.

73
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 1: Bind administration by regime comes in effectively saying Joe Biden

74
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: tells everybody that he hates fossil fuels, that it's destroying

75
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: the planet, that we need to act urgently on climate change.

76
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: Remember Barack Obama gave a speech I think it was

77
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: at the Coastguard Academy saying the biggest national security threat

78
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: the United States faces is climate change. That's when he's

79
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: commander in chief. It is a quote eggs essential threat.

80
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a mass hysteria. This is a

81
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: lunacy that the Democrat Party has has adopted, and they

82
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: do this. The price of gas is obviously still very high.

83
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: I would see in over five dollars a gallon. I

84
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: believe that I was out in California. The price of

85
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,559
Speaker 1: natural gas has tripled in the last year, which doesn't

86
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: affect people as much right now in this country. Wait

87
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: until things get cold. That's the number one way that

88
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: people heat their homes. And the Democrats turned around and say,

89
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: what do you mean we don't we don't have a

90
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: problem with fossil fuels. Yeah, the gas is okay. Biden's letting,

91
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: letting leases go for Explorer. They are so full of it.

92
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: They just don't want to be held accountable. They know

93
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: right now people are seeing and feeling in terms of

94
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: the economic impact these idiotic policies when it comes to energy.

95
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: So what are they doing. They're not They're not saying,

96
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, oh we're gonna we're gonna change course, or

97
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: oh we're wrong. They're just saying, oh, there's no connection, man,

98
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: We're fine. We like fossil fuel. They're lying to everybody

99
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: right when they know there could be political consequences for

100
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: the idiocy. Not only that, and you hinted at this,

101
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: the larger context here is this is a global phenomenon

102
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: of pretending that all of us are going to die

103
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: because of climate change and buck every time. I guarantee

104
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: you if you turned on the news in California, it's

105
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: hot in California, what do they blame it on climate change?

106
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: If the electric grid collapses and people are not able

107
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: to have electricity, what are they going to blame it

108
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: on climate change? They're not going to accept the reality,

109
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: which is their Green New Deal future doesn't provide enough

110
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: sustainable energy to be able to power our needs right now.

111
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: And so this idea of we're gonna have to get

112
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: used to rolling blackouts, We're gonna have to eat bugs.

113
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: They are using all of this, and it might sound crazy,

114
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: but this is what they're slowly introducing into the American discussion.

115
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: They're using all of this as an excuse because they

116
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: will not maximize oil and gas production in this country.

117
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: There's no need for there to ever be a blackout

118
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: anywhere in the United States. That's based on inability to

119
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: serve supply, and that's what's going to happen. And today

120
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: in California, where it's going to be super hot, suddenly

121
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: they need to have some rolling blackouts. They'll say this

122
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: is a result of climate change, when the reality is

123
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: that's not true. Just like they're trying to argue that, oh,

124
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: all this learning loss that happened in schools as a

125
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: result of COVID. No, no, no, it's the policy choices

126
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: that we as a country are making that are causing

127
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: these issues, not climate change or COVID or whatever it

128
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: might be. It's poor leadership and poor judgment. And this

129
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: is where I think there has to be a wake

130
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: up call, not only for any Republicans who don't see

131
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 1: it this way, but particularly for Independence. If the idea

132
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: is democrats will get their way, they will fail, and

133
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: then they'll figure out how stupid their ideas are. You're

134
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: going to be waiting forever. All they do is double down.

135
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how catastrophic the failures you see these

136
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: Democrats on climate. To your point, they're going to say

137
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: that the very problem causing the blackouts that are coming

138
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: possibly in California, the problems that are causing the spike

139
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: in gas prices and natural gas prices being through the

140
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: roof right now are climate related in the first place,

141
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: So that only increases the imperative to do more of

142
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: what they've already done so we can bring down climate change,

143
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: which is completely insane. You know, this is like pouring

144
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: cups of water in the ocean and hoping to change

145
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: the temperature. They're out of their minds, but they don't

146
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: want to admit. Just like with Mask and Clay, there

147
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: were people all over this plane from Elliott in New York,

148
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: obviously Mask over the weekend. They don't want to admit

149
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: that they're crazy on that too, so they just keep

150
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: on doing it. My point here being, you've got to

151
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: stop these people, meaning you have to take power out

152
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: of their hands. You have to hold them accountable. They

153
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: will not self correct. This is what we're seeing with

154
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: Democrats on energy, climate crime, the border. They won't self

155
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: correct because they lie to themselves as well as to

156
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: everybody else about the cause of these problems. Buck, do

157
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: you remember Ross Perot when he ran for president? Of course, yeah,

158
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: every remembers back in ninety two. I was reading this morning,

159
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: and you're one hundred percent right, and we get it

160
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: on energy. I think what we really need is somebody

161
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: who's like a professor to just start buying television time

162
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: and just sit down and lay out all the facts, right,

163
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean, because you have to be able to distill

164
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 1: it into a thirty second or one minute ad. But

165
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: also with the rise of YouTube, I feel like there's

166
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: a mass I'm not kidding about this. I feel like

167
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: there's a massive demand that isn't being filled by American

168
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: politician to discuss big issues in an intelligent and detailed way.

169
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: We know Joe Biden can't do it right, Like Joe

170
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: Biden couldn't whatever you think of his policies, Joe Biden

171
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,239
Speaker 1: couldn't sit down for thirty minutes and have a nuanced

172
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: discussion about oil and gas production and why we need

173
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: more oil and gas production data analysis? Do you know

174
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about? Like, we need an incredible communicator

175
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: in chief who is good. I mean, Fauci was a disaster.

176
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: Who's a great communicator that is in the world of

177
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: politics right now? Because what we do, I mean, I

178
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: think we do a pretty good job on this show,

179
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: but we're not political figures. We're just trying to make

180
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: people smarter on the issue. But there's almost a dearth

181
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: of anybody in politics, it seems to me, who can

182
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: talk about a complex issue in a nuanced and intelligent fashion.

183
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: But I don't even think some of these things for

184
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: like thirty minutes or an hour. Yeah, I don't even

185
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: think some of these things are really complicated. I mean,

186
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: I think that it's going to be issue. It depends,

187
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 1: but energy energy can be it can be a complicated issue.

188
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: But there just needs to be clarity the Democrat Party

189
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: and they can just line up the evidence. I mean,

190
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: I agree with you that having a you know, having

191
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: people that put the case out in a way that

192
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: they're almost like prosecuting the Democrat lunacy would be helpful.

193
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: But they're they're ideologically opposed to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels

194
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: are getting hit as a result, things are more expensive,

195
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: and now they're turning around and they're lying to everybody

196
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,119
Speaker 1: by saying this has nothing to do with their ideological opposition.

197
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look at what's going on right now in Europe.

198
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: There were some people who were who were saying it's

199
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: going to be a massacre, it's going to be a disaster.

200
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: In the beginning of the Russia Ukraine War, We're saying, hey, guys, um,

201
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, Germany is really dependent on Russia for a

202
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: natural gas. So this whole sanctioning Russia and cutting off

203
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: or trying to cut off parts of the Russian economy

204
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: but not the energy sector. This could come back to

205
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: bite those who think that they have all the leverage

206
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: against Russia. You know what Europe has found out economically,

207
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: they don't actually have that much leverage at all against Russia,

208
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: which is why now Emmanuel met Krall, the president of France,

209
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: it's calling for a ten percent reduction in France's energy use.

210
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: Germany is just heading off of an energy cliffigat it's

211
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: real cold and Doucldorf in the winter everybody, and they

212
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: are not going to extend their last three nuclear plants.

213
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: Did you see this? Yeah, if anyone was serious about

214
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: energy and the climate, they would be chaining themselves defenses

215
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: saying we need more, not less nuclear power. But ideologically clay,

216
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: they can't get around the reality. So you're going to

217
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: have massive economic and social implications. But basically, people freezing

218
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: in Europe in the wintertime because Prudin has just cut them.

219
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: Prudin has just said that sorry, they can't maintain the

220
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: natural gas delivery to Europe they've been doing so the

221
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: Nordstream one pipeline gonna have to turn that one off

222
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: when we come back. We need to talk about this

223
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: because I think it's the most underdiscussed story that could

224
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: have calamitous consequences and spill in a major way into

225
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: the United States come the winter. And I understand a

226
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, Oh, Europe, why do I

227
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: care about what their energy costs are. We need to

228
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: make the case for why this is a monstrous deal

229
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: and why I'm getting increasingly nervous that it's going to

230
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: end up torpedoing the United States as well. And I

231
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: don't think that most people have really contemplated where we

232
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: are headed here. We'll talk about that in a moment,

233
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: but first, in a world full of takers, Pure Talk, well,

254
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: Turravis Buck Sexton Show. We are rolling through the Tuesday

255
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: edition of the program like a lot of you out there.

256
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes after pause, I thought early the part of this day,

257
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, it's Monday. I hope you had

258
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: great labor day weekends. I hope you're ready. As we

259
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: move into the sprint portion of the midterms, about sixty days,

260
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: a little bit over away from the mid term elections,

261
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: and we bring in now Andy McCarthy, who has been

262
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: doing an amazing job breaking down the legality surrounding the

263
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: mar Lago raid. And we've told you on the program,

264
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: we're not going to get overwhelmed by the mar Lago

265
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: raid because we think in many ways it's a political distraction.

266
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: But I am fascinated by the legal maneuvering that is

267
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: going on. So Andy, let's start here. We know that

268
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: a federal District court judge has granted Donald Trump's legal

269
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: team's request to have a special master reviewing all of

270
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: the seized documents from inside mar Lago, and there are

271
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: allegations that those documents we know they initially took the passport,

272
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: but that there may be a lot of medical records,

273
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: maybe tax records that were also seized. Here. What did

274
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: you think of the ruling? What is its significance? A

275
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: couple of big questions here, and as it pertains to

276
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: the Eleventh Circuit, do you expect the Department of Justice

277
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: to appeal? Where are we headed procedurely? In your mind?

278
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: Quite probably? I should answer those less two together, because

279
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: I think that's that really hits the important part. I

280
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: was surprised by the rationale for Judge Cannon's ruling, which

281
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: is that not only does President Trump, as a former president,

282
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: retain some measure of executive privilege, but it can actually

283
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: be she says, potentially exercised against the executive branch itself,

284
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: which is a controversial ruling. I think it was very

285
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: foolish for the Justice Department to proceed with this without

286
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: getting a ruling on that from the court first, because

287
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: that's a controversial area of the law. I think the

288
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: Justice Department may have the better of the argument, but

289
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: when you're in an unsettled area, what you want to

290
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: do is get the court ruling first before you start

291
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: doing stuff based on a potentially bad assumption about the law.

292
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: And that's why I think they really have to go

293
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: to the Eleventh Circuit. I think they'll want to get

294
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: that reversed if they can. Andy it's buck, where do

295
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 1: you see this going. I mean, let's assume for a

296
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: second that it isn't reverse. Take us down that pathway. Well,

297
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: you guys teed this up mentioning the I think, like

298
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: just mentioned that we're about sixty days from the mid

299
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: terms and it's a good point Buck to pause and

300
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: remind people that the Justice Department purports to go by

301
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: this sort of guidance that they call the sixty day rule,

302
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: which is really not a rule. It's kind of an

303
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: unwritten set of guidelines, but the ideas they're not supposed

304
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: to take any big public steps in investigations within a

305
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: sixty day window of major elections that could conceive where

306
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: under circumstances where the law enforcement action could influence the

307
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: outcome of the election. So I have a feeling that

308
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: other than necessary things like if you're going to appeal

309
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: to the Eleventh Circuit and if they're going to have

310
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: oral argument and that sort of stuff, I think we're

311
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: probably not going to hear a whole lot about this

312
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: for the next sixty days, other than what President Trump

313
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: has to say about it. And I think the same

314
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: thing is probably true you know, not that you asked

315
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: me about this, but the same thing is probably true

316
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden. I'd expect that nothing's going to move

317
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: on that for the next sixty days either. All right, Andy,

318
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: you did twenty years in a prosecutor's office, so you

319
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: know of which you are talking to a great extent.

320
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Eleventh Circuit. What if they uphold this ruling,

321
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: then in theory, it would go all the way to

322
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. And I want to kind of just

323
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: for everybody out there who's not sitting around like analyzing

324
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: the legality here, you said something that I think is

325
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: so fascinating. Trump is arguing that essentially he retains executive

326
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: privilege from when he was president, even if that executive privilege,

327
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: in his opinion, is contrary to what the current executive

328
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: ie Joe Biden, believes about executive privilege. I'm not an

329
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: expert in this realm at all. Tell us what this

330
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: means in layman's terms, what this battle is like potentially

331
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: at the Eleventh Circuit, and how you would handicap what

332
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: the judges there might do in terms of analyzing it. Well,

333
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: I think there's a very good chance Trump is going

334
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: to lose in the Eleventh Circuit, and I think he

335
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: probably losing the Supreme Court. And let me explain why

336
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: the executive privilege is this idea that there has to

337
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: be confidentiality between the communications, the communications between the president

338
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: and his top advisors and how subordinates carry decision making.

339
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: How that gets carried out. It's a tenet of originalist

340
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: legal thinking, and I consider myself in that school of thought.

341
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: That as Justice Scalia wrote in a famous descent in

342
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighty eight in a case called Morrison v Olsen,

343
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: which was a Special Council case, all executive authority in

344
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: the government in the Constitution is reposed in one official,

345
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: the President of the United States. Everybody else who was

346
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: in the executive branch is a delegate of the president power.

347
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: In other words, they don't have their own power. They

348
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: get to use the president's power at the president's pleasure,

349
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: which is why the president can fire anyone he wants

350
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: to fire, except the vice president, who's separately elected under

351
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: the constitution. If you believe that, as I believe it,

352
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to swallow the idea that a

353
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: former president who has no power not only has retained

354
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: a measure of executive privilege, but also has executive privilege

355
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: that he can exercise against the will of the incumbent

356
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: president and the executive agencies of the government. I think

357
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: it might be arguable that executive privilege could be exercised,

358
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: say against Congress or against you know, some freedom of information.

359
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: So So Andy, though, explain and this may be off

360
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: and just for everybody we're speaking to. Any McCarthy Fox News,

361
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: you know him there as legal analyst and he was

362
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: at the mighty Southern District of New York for twenty

363
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: plus years as a federal prosecutor. So, Andy, though, executive

364
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: privilege is supposed to be able to protect deliberations between

365
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: a president and his top advisors, right, so essentially he

366
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: should be able to have a discussion. If this ruling

367
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: doesn't stand, then can't any president say, hey, you know

368
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: that stuff that you thought was executive privilege, I actually

369
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: want access to all that. My political party wants to

370
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: put that on the front page of a New or Times. Yeah,

371
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: that's why I think Buck that Biden is being very

372
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: foolish by a sweeping denial that Trump has executive privilege. Here.

373
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: I think what Biden should have done has said, you know, look,

374
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: let's look at this document by document and then he

375
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: would decide whether to support Trump on executive privilege or not,

376
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: because this shouldn't be a partisan consideration. Biden's going to

377
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: want to have executive privilege when he is a former president.

378
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna want the incumbent president and institutionally,

379
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: this is what's happened in the past. He's going to

380
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: want to have a situation where where whoever his successor

381
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: is honors his assertion. Yeah. I mean, Andy, it sounds

382
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: like you're telling me that President Biden's breaking some norms here.

383
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, yeah, but you're right. I think this

384
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: is really foolish. I mean, I don't think Trump should

385
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: be making sweeping claims of executive privilege, but neither do

386
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: I think Biden should be doing sweeping rejections. I think,

387
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, there's very likely to be executive privilege material

388
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: in what the government is looking at, and I think

389
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: it was a mistake for Biden to just wave it

390
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: without having any idea what he's waving. Andy, you mentioned

391
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: the sixty day rule, which would theoretically put a damper

392
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: on any investigation anyway. But based on this Federal District

393
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: Court judges ruling, there is no case here that would

394
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: be able to be prosecuted I think, basically against Donald Trump.

395
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: So there, obviously, I think has to be an appeal, unless,

396
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: by the way, there was some agreement that we had,

397
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: like a plea agreement behind the scenes, and they just

398
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: they didn't want to try to set any precedent going

399
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: forward Eleventh Circuit ruling. We're regardless of what the Eleventh

400
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: Circuit rules, wouldn't you think, Andy, that Trump, if he lost,

401
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: would appeal it to the Supreme Court at minimum as

402
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: a stall tactic. How long are we talking about this

403
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: process potentially playing out in your mind legally before this

404
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: issue is resolved. Yeah, see play. I think that the

405
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: fact that we have to consider in connection with that

406
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: is that the Trump people waited a couple of weeks

407
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: before they sought a special master. So it's hard to

408
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: unring that bell. You know, at this point, they actually

409
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: had gone through their process of segregating privilege what they

410
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: think is privileged information and had given what they thought

411
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: was not privileged to the investigation team. So I think

412
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: even if this continues to wind up the appellate courts,

413
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean the courts would put a stop

414
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: to the government's investigation. You know, they might be able to, like,

415
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: they might be able to get vacated the part of

416
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: Judge Cannon's ruling where she basically suspended the Justice Department's

417
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: use of these materials in its investigation, which you just

418
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: alluded to. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

419
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: I have to say at a point where they had

420
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: already completed their process, and I think you know what

421
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: you could say, if you're the higher courts is you don't, look,

422
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: They've already got the documents. If there's taint, they're already tainted.

423
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: So we're we're not going to jump the gun on that.

424
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: If it turns out down the road that they've used

425
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: information that turns out to have been to have been privileged,

426
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: then at that point Trump can complain and get evidence

427
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: thrown out or do whatever is appropriate, and we'll hear

428
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: that then, but we're not going to stop them from

429
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: investigating at this point. That doesn't make any sense. Andy,

430
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: is this, in your mind heading toward nothing Burger territory?

431
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: As in, they got the docks, there's going to be

432
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: some wrangling over the docks, but there's no further legal

433
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: action of consequence. Or in the back of your mind

434
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: or maybe the front of your mind, are you still

435
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: thinking they may decide right before Trump announces to run

436
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: for president, that they are going to prosecute him. Well, Buck,

437
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: I have a little humility that I think the Justice

438
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: Department could actually use So I don't assume that I'm

439
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: necessarily right about this, because you know, this is a

440
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: moving target and we've all had things that we've been

441
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: right and wrong about. What the Justice Department did wrong

442
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: here was they not only decided that Trump had no

443
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: privilege that could be asserted against the executive branch. They

444
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: were so sure about it they didn't get a court ruling.

445
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: And as a result, I can't sit here and say

446
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: that that's not that that necessarily ends up being a

447
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: nothing burger. It could be a nothing burger if I'm

448
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: right and Trump doesn't have a privilege that he can assert. Again,

449
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: Oh Andy, I'm sorry. I mean I'm at nothing burger

450
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: in terms of whether they're going to charge him for

451
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: the classified documents, which is kind of the you know

452
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: we're we're talking about here. Effects obviously that final decision.

453
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking even beyond this too. Is this not going

454
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: anywhere as a criminal matter? Yeah? I think Buck. I

455
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: continue to think that the obstruction is what they're looking at.

456
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they wanted to a classify information case

457
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: just because those cases are so hard, as you know,

458
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to do a classified information case

459
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: without exposing the classified inforiation, and if that wasn't a problem,

460
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: this wouldn't be criminal activity right in the first place.

461
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: I think if they go after him for obstruction, I

462
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: could see them throwing in the presidential records because that

463
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: doesn't raise any you know, security problem, and they can

464
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 1: do the obstruction without identifying what's in the classified documents,

465
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: because it doesn't matter what they say if he you know,

466
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: if they're going to say he tried to conceal them,

467
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: or if the issue is even like whether they were

468
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: classified or not, that goes to whether you know he

469
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: did the things that you would need to do to

470
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: declassify them. Doesn't matter what's in him. But if you

471
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: start making the counts about the classified information, I just

472
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: think that, you know, you run into the old gray

473
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: mail problem where the defendant says, I can't defend myself

474
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: without getting into what's in the substance of the documents.

475
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: So I don't really think they want to do that case.

476
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: And I've always thought that if they can, if there's

477
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: any January sixth information in what they seized, I think

478
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: they would use that because they're definitely trying to make

479
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: a January sixth case Okay, whether this advances that or not,

480
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: we don't know, right Andy, this feels like legal trench

481
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: warfare that we have officially entered, which is why I'm

482
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: kind of focused on the timeframe. So last dual question

483
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: here for you, how long does this process play out?

484
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: It feels to me like this is years, not days

485
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: or weeks. And how ultimately, from your perspective, do they

486
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: get over the decision not to charge Hillary Clinton with,

487
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: let's be honest, something that arguably is much worse considering

488
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: those were electronic documents that could have been easier to transfer,

489
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: and she certainly doesn't have the presidential privileges arguments that

490
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump would be able to apply here. I'm curious

491
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: legally the precedent of Hillary, how does that play out?

492
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: And ultimately what is the time frame that we are

493
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: looking at here? Two things. One, I think the Hillary

494
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: thing will weigh heavily on Garland because the issue here

495
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: is not just whether there are crimes, but whether it's

496
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: appropriate under all the circumstances to bring charges here. And

497
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: I think the country's already on fire with the idea

498
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: quite appropriately that we have a two tier justice system

499
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: that would fuel that in a way, that we haven't

500
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: even seen up until now, So that should be something

501
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: that weighs on them heavily. As far as how long

502
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: it'll take play. I think the Democrats like this. You know,

503
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: the last four weeks, while Trump is front and center,

504
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Biden's numbers have ticked up a bit.

505
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: You know, the Democratic Congress's prospects have picked up a

506
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: little bit as far as the midterms are concerned. So

507
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: I think anything that makes Trump front and center and

508
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: takes attention away from Biden and what you do into

509
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: the country is is helpful to them. And that kind

510
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: of plays into legal proceedings because, as you know, you

511
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: can drag this out for a long time, no doubt, Andy,

512
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: we appreciate the time you're fantastic on all these issues.

513
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: I feel like this story is not going away anytime soon. Amen.

514
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm afraid that's right. He's Andy McCarthy. I gotta tell you,

515
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: Mike Lindell Man, they have brand new all season slippers,

516
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: slides and sandals, comfortable, easy to wear all season. You

517
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: know what's happening in my house. My wife's walking around

518
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: in the sandals and my kids are stealing them from them.

519
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: Stealing them from her. She's looking for him the other day.

520
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: Boys have around the same size feet now as they

521
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: get older, and they're stealing my wife's shoes because they're

522
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: so comfortable when they run out in the backyard to

523
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: go play basketball, they'rowing football. They just want to throw

524
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: on some shoes and run out and play in them.

525
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: They absolutely love them. You get a sixty to eight

Speaker 1: money back guarantee. Maybe you need to buy more pairs

527
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: like we do, because your kids start stealing from your wife.

528
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: That's never good when it comes to footwear. That's how

536
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: nine Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I

537
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: want to share a story with many of you out

538
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: there that is awful. We're the large audience in Memphis

539
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: and this story has spread well beyond Memphis because unfortunately,

540
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: I believe it's emblematic of the crime wave that we

541
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: are living amidst in so many different parts of the

542
00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: country right now. So a young mom of two named

543
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: Eliza Fletcher went for a jog. She was training for marathons.

544
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 1: She did early morning jogs because she wanted to be

545
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: able to I'm I don't know her full routine, but

546
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: I do have a wife who is trained for marathons.

547
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: And in the South, in the summer in particular, it

548
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: is super hot, and if you have a job and

549
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 1: you have young children, sometimes you have to get up

550
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: really early in the morning to be able to get

551
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: in long runs outdoors. So this mom of two, school

552
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: teacher in the Memphis area young kids, she's out for

553
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: a jog. It's four thirty in the morning. She is

554
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: by the University of Memphis's campus, and she is attacked

555
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: and assaulted by a man who kidnaps and kills her.

556
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: The man who kidnapped and killed her was out of

557
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: jail early. He did not fulfill the full terms of

558
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: his sentence in the state of Tennessee that would have

559
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 1: required him to still be in jail. Where he had

560
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: previously kidnapped a man a lawyer in Memphis, put him

561
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: in the trunk and drove that man around, requiring him

562
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: to withdraw money from a variety of ATM machines until

563
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: that man was able to escape. He was released from

564
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: prison in November of twenty twenty and he's been charged

565
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: with first degree murder. This man has for killing this

566
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: young mother of two. Buck, I think one reason why

567
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: this story again, her name is Eliza Fletcher. I would

568
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: encourage you guys google her. She appears to have been

569
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: a fantastic mother, wife, school teacher, array of sunshine in

570
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: the world in which she lived. And I think one

571
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: reason Buck, this is connecting with so many people viscerally,

572
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: and I know many of you out there have been

573
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 1: following this story. They've been looking for her body, they've

574
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: been trying to figure out what happened to her. Is

575
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: because it is a perfect approximation of a random act

576
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: of violence that should have never been able to be

577
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: perpetrated against anyone. A young mom is out for a

578
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 1: jog training for a marathon. Two young kids, school teacher

579
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: husband back home early in the morning. She's trying to

580
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: fit in all the things in her life, and she

581
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: is attacked and brutally murdered in a totally senseless and

582
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: random act of violence by someone who should have never

583
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: been on the streets. There were policy decisions that not

584
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: only this hainous incident, this hainous crime, but in so

585
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: many others like it across the country, made this tragedy possible.

586
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: Democrats have been pushing for early release, pushing for ending

587
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: mass incarceration. These are decisions that they made based in ideology,

588
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: based in the sense that the criminal justice system is racist,

589
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: that the best way to address what they claim is

590
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: the racism of the system is to lower prosecution rates,

591
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: lower incarceration terms, let people out earlier, and effectively side

592
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: with criminals as much as possible in the criminal justice system.

593
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: That is a shift that has been occurring now for years.

594
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: In the last couple of years, we have seen the

595
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: numbers reflect what that actually means. I saw an ad

596
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,399
Speaker 1: over the week, and I'm trying to remember what group

597
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 1: put it out, but it went viral. It got a

598
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: lot of attention Clay and it was just showing all

599
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: of the crime that's been occurring in cities across the

600
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: country in broad daylight. I mean, really brazen, awful violent

601
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: crime going on in cities across the country. And where

602
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: do you see democrats focusing more attention Donald Trump's documents,

603
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: habits or stopping crime in major cities that are at

604
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: all times. Look at what's going on in Seattle. I

605
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: think Seattle just is on track for its most violent

606
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 1: year ever. Portland is on track for its most violent

607
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: year ever. Philadelphia is on track for its most violent

608
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: year ever. These are This means hundreds and hundreds of

609
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: people killed beyond what had been the case in an

610
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: average year in these in these cities because democrats feel

611
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: better about themselves, they feel anti racist by pushing these policies.

612
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: They think they're being heroes and they're pushing for civil

613
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 1: rights or whatever, by limiting the terms that people serve

614
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: for violent crimes, by undermining the will of state legislatures

615
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 1: in many places, And how many of these tragedies do

616
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: we have to go through before people realize if they

617
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: don't change the system, we will have more of this,

618
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: more of these horrible incidents, more of these. You know,

619
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: it's the person who is who is assaulted or in

620
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: this case killed after being kidnapped. It's also the family

621
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: that's shattered. Ye. I think for all the shootings that

622
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: occur in a place, let's say Philadelphia, where they're going

623
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: to have their worst year ever for murders, it's going

624
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: to be hundreds of murders, it's thousands and thousands of

625
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: people whose lives are shattered. It's it's businesses on the

626
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,240
Speaker 1: street where a shooting occurs. Let's say where a drive

627
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: by occurs, that knows that they have to leave the neighbor,

628
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: they have to close it down. It's the urban decay

629
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: that results. And what do Democrats do when we say

630
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: we need to back police, we need to crack down.

631
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: You know what they do They sneer and say that's racist.

632
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's racist to leave minority communities

633
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: to suffer from the idiotic Democrat policies and not to

634
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: recognize me. And as I said, Clay, in New York City,

635
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: they can break it down. You know, five thousand people

636
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: in New York give or take, are the repeat violent offenders.

637
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: There are two million black residents of New York City. Yep.

638
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: Just so, do we want to just keep the ninety

639
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: nine point nine percent safe or do we want to

640
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: focus in on disparate impact and what makes social justice

641
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: warriors feel good about themselves. Arguing that you're too nice

642
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: to criminals is a luxury of a low crime environment,

643
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: and we are not in a low crime environment. And

644
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: I know there are so many moms out there that

645
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: saw this story and what happened to this young mom

646
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: and thought that could have been me. I'm up early

647
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 1: running in my neighborhood. At any point someone can pull

648
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: off on the side of the road and grab me

649
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: like happened to this poor mom, Eliza Fletcher. I do

650
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: want to mention the Speaker of the Tennessee House reached

651
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: out to me about this case because it has resonated

652
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: certainly around the nation, but in the state of Tennessee

653
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: in a major way. And Speaker Camera and Sexton, I'm

654
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: gonna try to get a on maybe to talk about

655
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: this case later this week, Buck, because I do think

656
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 1: there's a lot of interest. He said, this year we

657
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: passed one hundred percent sentencing for violent criminals in Tennessee.

658
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 1: This guy would have still been in jail under the

659
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: truth in Sentencing bill that had been pushed. This mom

660
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: would still be alive. How many people out there are

661
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: like Eliza Fletcher, Buck thousands, maybe even tens of thousands

662
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: now of people who would be alive if the violent

663
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: criminals who took their lives had been kept behind bars.

664
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: The cops, no, Buck, you just mentioned it. They know

665
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: who the bad guys are. We've got to let them

666
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: go after the bad guys, and when we catch them,

667
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: we got to put them away behind bars, and we

668
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: got to throw away the damn key. This being concerned

669
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: about being too mean to criminals business. It is inexcusable.

670
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: This defund the police argument. It is indefensible. And I'm

671
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: there being tens of thousands of Eliza Fletchers all over

672
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: this country, one hundred percent, honest, one hundred percent did

673
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 1: nothing wrong, victims of senseless violence. And as you mentioned, Buck,

674
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: the families will never recover from this. Never will these

675
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 1: little boys who grow up without their mom, husband, all

676
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: of her family, the kids that she would have taught

677
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: in school and raised up to be better, They will

678
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: never recover from this loss. And it should have never happened.

679
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: There is blood on the hands of anyone who allowed

680
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: this to occur and continues to allow it to occur. Yeah,

681
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if Democrats were serious about addressing the issue,

682
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: they would admit that many of the things that they've

683
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: been pushing for, bail reform, I mean, go down the

684
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: whole list, all these things, they have not made us safer.

685
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: They have made things less safe, and more people have

686
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: been the victims of violent crime, have been raped, have

687
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,959
Speaker 1: been murdered. That has happened because of their stupid ideas. Yes,

688
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: and it happens so that people like Nancy Pelosi who

689
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: live in fifteen million dollars mansions in the Bay Area

690
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: with security everywhere and feel good about themselves. For the

691
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: rest of us, there needs to be the reckoning you

692
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: and I have talked about so much on the crime

693
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:12,200
Speaker 1: issue alone, Democrats deserve to lose their jobs in elected office,

694
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: to lose the power that they accrued in twenty twenty

695
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: while the country was under durests from the BLM riots

696
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: that they were supporting. By the way, and if still

697
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: never condemned and never said yeah, maybe that was a

698
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: little too far. In fact, as we know, that led

699
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: directly to the massive increase in murders, assaults, burglary, steps,

700
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: you name it that we've been living through in this

701
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: country for the last two years. Undermining cops became a

702
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: way for Democrats to pander to their base, and they

703
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: did it as a party. They've never backed down from it.

704
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: Eliza Fletcher would still be alive if your politicians did

705
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: their job and kept violent criminals behind bars. And she

706
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: is emblematic of what is occurring far too often all

707
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: over this country. Crime completely out of control. We got

708
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: to put people behind bars and let the good guys,

709
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: that is, the cops, lock up the bad guys and

710
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:05,439
Speaker 1: support them to duce period guys. Back in the day,

711
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: the debate in America was about which policies to pursue

712
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: to improve this great country we all love. Too often

713
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: today we find ourselves arguing about whether our country is

714
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: even great at all. That's a real argument, and it's

715
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: happening in more places than it should be. The reason

716
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: for this is simple. For too many years, too many

717
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: of our schools have been neglecting to teach young Americans

718
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 1: about America's great heritage of liberty. Instead, students are presented

719
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: with a dishonest narrative of America as a fundamentally unjust

720
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: and racist country. Hillsdale College is weighing in for America

732
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: Our friend Molly Hemingway is with us now. She's a

733

734

Speaker 1: an amazing book, Rigged, How the Media, Big Tech, and

735
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: the Democrats seized our elections. Molly, great to have you back.

736
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: It is great to be here with you. How are

737
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: we looking at this stage right now, going into this

738
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: midterm for control of the House, control the Senate. What's

739
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: top line for you? Just want to say it's an

740
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: excellent data Ask me this question, because I, as a

741
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: rule do not pay attention to any of the prognostications

742
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: about what's going to happen until Labor Day. And we've

743
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 1: hit Labor Day, and so now I'm now I'm joining

744
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: the fray and discussing what I think is going to happen.

745
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: So I think that the fundamentals of this election have

746
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: been pretty constant. You have the Democrat Party in control

747
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: of everything in Washington, DC, the presidency, both houses. You

748
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: have people really upset with the policies that Democrats have

749
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: put in place, and so all the polls are very

750
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: consistently showing that people have very negative views about the

751
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: direction of the country, and they don't have much reason

752
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 1: to go for Joe Biden and so or his party.

753
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: So I think it's going to be a pretty good

754
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,959
Speaker 1: year for Republicans. I do have a few caveats on that, though.

755
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: What are those caveats? Molly, Thanks for coming on. You

756
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: want to give a shout out to your mom, who

757
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: I understand as a big listener in Colorado. We would

758
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: certainly love for her to receive a claim that she

759
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: well deserves for producing you at minimum, But yeah, what

760
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: are those caveats? And give a shout out to your mom? Yeah,

761
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 1: Hi to Caroline, who is not even a big radio

762
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,280
Speaker 1: listener but loves your show and so great taste all

763
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: the time about the brilliance that you guys have shared

764
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: and what she's learned. But yeah, the compnswer that I

765
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: don't think the Republican Party is doing a good job

766
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: of arguing for anything. They think it's sufficient to just

767
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: let Democrats be the bad guys that that will carry

768
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: them to victory, and it's actually probably true. That's actually

769
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: so much less than they could accomplish by being very

770
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: vigorous about what they're for and how they're going to

771
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: fight against some of these things that have people throughout

772
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: the country is so upset about the direction of the country.

773
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: Speaking of Molly Hemingway, senior editor at The Federalist. The

774
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: Federalist dot com is a great website covering politics, news,

775
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: everything you need to know. Molly, race by race or yeah,

776
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: we'll do what that was because they state by state Pennsylvania.

777
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: We were just talking about doctor Oz Fetterman. How do

778
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: you see that one? So I got to kick out

779
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: of hell. Like a month ago, everyone just decided that

780
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: race was over and in favor of Fetterman. It reminds

781
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: you of why you need to see what's happening in

782
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: an actual state where Federman is unable to campaign. Essentially

783
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: he's unable to speak. His campaign admitted to The Washington

784
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: Post that he has trouble in complicated auditory environments, which

785
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: is kind of the definition of being a senator. And

786
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: so and meanwhile, them at Oz, who hadn't really been

787
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: doing much campaigning, is now barnstorming throughout the state. And

788
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: so Federman's obviously ahead according to most polling, but I

789
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: think that's definitely going to tighten up in AZ's favor. Molly,

790
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: what did you think of Biden's speech Thursday night. I'm

791
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: still having trouble processing that that actually happened. I couldn't

792
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 1: believe how dark and dangerous it was. And I am

793
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: not one of these people who gets really upset about

794
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: heated political rhetoric on, you know, no matter who's doing it.

795
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: I kind of think all's fair in love and politics,

796
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: and you've got to get out there and punch. I

797
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: kissed him, mildly, horrified that he went to war again.

798
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: The entire Republican Party ten, you know, basically anyone who

799
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: didn't vote for him he's putting in the enemy camp.

800
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: It's or who doesn't plan to support him in the

801
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: upcoming elections for his party. It just is a really

802
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: dangerous line to cross at a time when we're experiencing

803
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: such political division. And I'm I've never been a Joe

804
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: Biden fan particularly, but if there was something to be

805
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: said for him that he said that his administration, the

806
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: media that ran his campaign claims this would be a competent, unifying,

807
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 1: moderate administration. It's completely incompetent. It is the furthest thing

808
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: from moderate, and it's very divisive. And so if you

809
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: had to get rid of Trump, and because of all

810
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: those because because of the drama of his presidency, even

811
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 1: if people liked the direction of the country, it makes

812
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 1: no sense to replace Trump with someone who is much

813
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: more corrosive in his rhetoric and much more divisive and

814
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: far less competent. It's the opposite direction of what we

815
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 1: I mean, how much molly of what we're seeing right now.

816
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: I think there's some poll that says, you know, generic

817
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: ballot Democrats now have the advantage over Republicans. How do

818
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: you separate out what seems to be likely suppression of

819
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 1: Republican enthusiasm. Essentially, dare I say disinformation When it comes

820
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: to assessments of polling and the sweeping analysis, you'll hear

821
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: on a lot of the other networks out there about

822
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: how all Republicans are getting clobored on this issue, or

823
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: oh it's looking bad from on that issue. Feels at

824
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: some level like that's meant to depress turnout. It's obviously

825
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: the case that people are trying to influence influence the

826
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 1: perceptions about races through some polling that just frankly doesn't

827
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: make any sense. I did see someone last week going

828
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: through and commenting on how previous election years were Republicans

829
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: had very good years, say twenty ten. They would show

830
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: the headline from Politico at this point of the campaign

831
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 1: cycle saying that Publicans were in a very bad situation

832
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: and it was going to go horribly, and of course

833
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 1: by November it was they picked up sixty three seats.

834
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: And so it does affect the way people talk about it.

835
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 1: And obviously corporate media are very much in the political

836
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: camp of the Democrats. That it's evidenced by nearly everything

837
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: they do, and so you saw that throughout August they

838
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: were trying to convince people that Biden was back and

839
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: he was wearing aviator sunglasses and everything was going great.

840
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: The thing is, though, it obviously isn't going great, and

841
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: as much as they were trying to make something happen,

842
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: it seems like they couldn't quite do it polling wise.

843
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 1: But these polls do have an effect on people, and

844
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 1: like in twenty twenty, the polls were so horrible for

845
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,319
Speaker 1: Republicans that I think it did affect the mood of

846
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: people even in the Trump administration. You know, you heard

847
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: Bill Barr say he really didn't think Trump had a chance.

848
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: He was shocked that the race was as close as

849
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: it was. Well, that's a function of the polling narrative

850
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: that people put out there, and you have to kind

851
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: of step back and think through, you know, what are

852
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: the fundamental what's really going on? Talk to real people

853
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: who are livid with the direction of the country, even

854
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: if everyone in DC in New York are trying to

855
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: convince everybody that things are actually going better. Molly Bluck

856
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: and I have been arguing, just based on COVID alone,

857
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: if democracy really works, then blue state governors, blue state

858
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: congressmen and senators, certainly mayors, they all failed. Kids and

859
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: suddenly it's like everybody is looking around and saying, hey,

860
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: wait a minute. We had generational learning loss, and the

861
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: people who lost the most were minority kids whose families

862
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: didn't have the same resources to be able to handle

863
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: when they suddenly weren't in schools. Is there going to

864
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: ever be a reckoning for this failure? In your mind?

865
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 1: Will we get it this fall? Well? I think I

866
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: live in Virginia, and it was fascinating to see what

867
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: happened in our off your elections when in Virginia is

868
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 1: a pretty blue state and you had all three statewide

869
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: off disco Republican and it was one hundred percent what

870
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: was going on in the schools, the shutdowns, and then

871
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: also that they have been like pushing actual racist curriculum

872
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: in the form of critical race theory in school districts

873
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: across Virginia, and so I think that you'll still see

874
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: parents revolting against this. However, I do find it passing.

875
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: There's no question that Democrats and their base, like the

876
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: teachers unions, were pushing really hard to keep schools closed,

877
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: to keep masks on children, and they's had very bad

878
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,800
Speaker 1: outcomes on the students learning. You've seen in recent weeks

879
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: where you have again major media just kind of gas

880
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 1: lighting the country and claiming that it was the teachers

881
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: unions who pushed to open the schools. That's just it's

882
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: amazing true in any way, that's a level of gaslighting

883
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 1: that's very disturbing to experience. And it's happening right now

884
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: because they know it's so bad electorally, so they're just

885
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: going for the We will completely lie about who shut

886
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: down the schools and who kept them shutdown. Speaking of

887
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 1: Molly Hemingway of the Federalists right now, Molly, we do

888
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: have some campaign folks from campaigns who listen people's staffs

889
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: who are up for re election to listen to the show.

890
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: If there was one area where you would like to

891
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 1: see Republicans between now and that big election day really

892
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 1: go on offense, what would it be and how would

893
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: you want them to do it? I think there are

894
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: many ways that they should, but there's one that they

895
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: absolutely have to according to polling, which is being accurate

896
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: and honest about what the situation is with abortion law

897
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 1: in states throughout the country. The DABS decision overturns Roby Wade.

898
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: This actually makes for a very moderate approach to abortion

899
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: law instead of having it where nobody can have any

900
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: say in it, even though the vast majority of the

901
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: country would like to see at least some restrictions. Dabbs

902
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: enables people through their representatives to put in place some

903
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: protection for women and children in the pregnancy situation. And yet,

904
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: because again the media are so crazy lefty, they have

905
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: basically lied about what that ruling is, what it does.

906
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: They said it's antidemocratic, when that's exactly what it is

907
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 1: is It is democratic. And the vast majority of Americans

908
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: support at least some restrictions on abortion to protect unborn

909
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: human life. So they can't just let the media and

910
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: Democrats run that conversation, particularly when there's so much misinformation

911
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: and disinformation about what is in play with doubts and

912
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: people love life, people love babies, people love mothers, people

913
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: love family formation, and so it's a very strong issue.

914
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 1: But you can't do it defensively. You have to explain

915
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 1: proactively what you're for and why it benefits society. Molly Hemingway,

916
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: everybody the Federalist dot com go check out our latest Molly,

917
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: come back talk to us again soon. We got to

918
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: see how the selection goes, take care thanks. Question for

919
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: business owners in this audience, are you feeling boxed in

920
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: by the pressures of running your business, managing remote workforces,

921
