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 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Our two of Clay and Buckets going 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: right now. We are so appreciative of you joining us 4 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: all across the nation. And we had said we'd dive 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: into the oil price situation here in this country and 6 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: how it affects the elections, and the Democrats know that, 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: which is why Joe Biden is saying today, well, he's 8 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: given a speech. He's gonna say a lot of things, 9 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: but that he will be releasing the final traunch of 10 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: fifteen million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. 11 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: I'd mentioned this on the show yesterday, Klein, I were 12 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: talking to you about this one. And this is at 13 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: a time when they were a few weeks ago telling 14 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: us or baby, let's say maybe more like August, the 15 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: price of gas started to go down a little it 16 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: and they were throwing little victory parties. You don't see 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: prices coming down. Biden knows what he's doing now. The 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: price has been going up for weeks and sure enough, 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: you know what, when if they're gonna take the praise 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: when it's going down, they got to take the blame 21 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: when it's going up. That's where we are, they would think, 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: you would think would be because we operate in reality, Clay. 23 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: We look at what people actually say and do and 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: hold them to it. Fascinating to watch this whole thing 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: play out, though, because they're doing everything that can to 26 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: just squeeze out some quid pro quo votes here on 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: bringing first of all, the removal the illegal student loan 28 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: forgiveness program from Joe Biden, wiping away student loans, the 29 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: transfer of wealth there, the decision to release this petroleum 30 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: reserve in a way that just just before the election, 31 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: just so everyone understands, fifteen million barrels. It'll affect prices 32 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: in the short term domestically a little bit, not that much, 33 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: and it's not gonna last very long at all either. 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: This is just hoping that at the last moment they 35 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: can pull off a little change in perception here. I 36 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: think we're Clay. We produce something like sixteen million barrels 37 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: a day and consume something like twenty million barrels a day. 38 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: I think those are twenty twenty one numbers. But so 39 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: it's one day's less than one day's consumption for sure. 40 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: About one day's production being dumped on the market, which 41 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: will have a little bit of a jolt, right, but 42 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: it's a caffeine rush. It's not gonna last. This is 43 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: what they're up against. The part of this that I 44 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: find really most annoying, and that's hard to say, Clay, 45 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: because a lot of this is annoying, but that the 46 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: White House is not only releasing the fifteen million barrels 47 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: because they're just hoping to bring the gas price down 48 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: right before people are voting, or as people are voting 49 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: in some places, but that they're doing this thing of 50 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: blaming the oil and gas companies. Neither you nor I 51 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: have ever received a dollar from Exxon or you know, 52 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: give it. I'm lot of dollars. Yeah, we all. But 53 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: now that you and I have ever, you know, we're 54 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: not on the payroll of the oil companies or whatever. 55 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: But it's just if you have a very basic understanding 56 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: of supply and demand and how markets work. This notion 57 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden, remember they were saying over the summer 58 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 1: the gas stations shouldn't be profiteering off of this. This 59 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: is a true global commodity. I mean, it's always the 60 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: most truly global commodity that is out there, and the 61 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: prices are set through market forces. The oil and gas 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 1: companies are not in some position now to just they're 63 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: not just raising prices because they feel like it. But 64 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: this is almost like the Marxist hectoring that you would 65 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: expect Clay in Venezuela. I mean, this is effectively the 66 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: government just stopping short of saying hey, because he's calling 67 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: them out, and he's really threatening the oil companies in 68 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: some ways because obviously government can do leases and there's 69 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: a whole lot of things that go into this. They 70 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: either don't understand or just don't care what this actually 71 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: means for the markets, and it just goes to show 72 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: we have economic incompetence running the government. They don't. They 73 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: don't know anything. Not only that, it's I think even 74 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: worse than incompetence, it's arguably impeachable. This didn't get as 75 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: much attention as I thought it should, but the Wall 76 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: Street Journal had a front page article where they said 77 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: that the Biden administration begged the Saudies not to cut 78 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: daily oil consumption until after the mid term election. So 79 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: they didn't even argue hey, against the oil cut directly. 80 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: They just said, finally, well, please just don't cut the 81 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: oil production until after the mid terms, because this is 82 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: going to hurt us politically. And I think this is significant. 83 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: If you're driving around out there right now, listening to us, 84 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: and you're looking at gas station prices as you drive by, 85 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: and like many people, you're sometimes going to be pulling 86 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: into the gas station on the right or the left 87 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: side of the road, depending on whether it's a couple 88 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: of pennies cheaper. And that's obviously how competitive our gas 89 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: market prices are in the first place, thanks to capitalism, 90 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: that you never see one gas station costing twenty cents 91 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: more a gallon than another gas station in the same area, 92 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: because that's why they published their prices so high on 93 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: the board. They're almost identical the closer they are to 94 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: each other, and so they weren't even trying to stop 95 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: gas prices from going up aggressively. They were just saying, hey, 96 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: wait to do that until the politics of the midterms 97 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: is already passed. So basically, screw the little guy, but 98 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: screw him after he already has voted in this midterm election. 99 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: So that's one two buck, and I think we need 100 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: to keep hammering this home. They have tried to make 101 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: your average gas station owner the bad guy. I believe 102 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: the number is two thirds of gas stations are owned 103 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: by sole proprietorships. I think I'm correcting that one of 104 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: you out there who knows the industry better than me, 105 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: can correct me if I'm wrong. What I do know 106 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: is true is that gas stations don't have success based 107 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: on the price of oil. Based on the price of gas, 108 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: they make one or two cents a gallon and barely 109 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: cover the cost of the gas themselves. Where they make 110 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: their money is when you go inside and you get 111 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: a cup of coffee, or you buy beer, or you 112 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: buy whatever you might inside of their convenience store. And 113 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: the worst the economy is buck as you well know, 114 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: the less people buy when they go into the convenience 115 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: store because they can't afford as much disposable income. So 116 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,119 Speaker 1: Biden is destroying the economy but simultaneously making a villain 117 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: out of people that are small business owners that are 118 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: not making a killing off the price of gas either. 119 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: And people who have been paying attention to the Democrats 120 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: on this issue of climate change and fossil fuels and 121 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: gas have seen for many years now that they can't 122 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: have it both ways. The Democrats can't have it both ways. 123 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: That they're fighting this war to save the planet from 124 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: climate change, and they say things like, we all remember 125 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: Obama back in the day, under my plan, the cost 126 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: of electricity would necessarily skyrocket. I believe that's actually the 127 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: direct quote because I saw that so many times. That's 128 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: what he said. We remember Hillary Clinton telling what was 129 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: it to coal miners in West Virginia learned to code? Right? 130 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: People that work in the coal industry learned to code 131 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: that was They're gonna have to find new jobs effectively. 132 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden saying in the debates the Democrat debates, 133 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna phase it out about fossil fuels. They are 134 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: hostile to this industry. They are hostile to really a 135 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: modern the modern economy that we have, which is only possible. 136 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean the fact that you and I and people 137 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: listening to us all over the place in the in 138 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: the country are either sitting in perfectly air conditioned offices 139 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: or cars or homes, eating incredibly bountiful food, you know, 140 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: on the most comfortable chairs and the most delicious drinks. 141 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: This is only possible because of the system of economics 142 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: built upon fossil fuels. They hate this. It's like an 143 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: article of religious faith for them, and which is why 144 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, who's going to be joining us here in 145 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: a few moments, the senator from Florida, he pointed this 146 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: out in his debate last night. He said, why are 147 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: we begging Saudi Arabia for more oil? Play seven? Why 148 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: are we begging Saudi Arabia for oil? Why are we 149 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: begging Venezuela and Iran for oil? We're producing a million 150 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: barrels a day less on oil than we used to 151 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: do just a couple of years ago. We have the Instead, 152 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: we are depleting our reserves. Our oil reserves do not 153 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: exist to win midterms. They exist to help this country 154 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: in an emergency or in the midst of the storm. 155 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: He's totally right, Clay, and I would just add to this. 156 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: The United States in twenty twenty was the number one 157 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: producer of oil and gas in the world. There's a 158 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: pretty big deal. We have slipped two number three now 159 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: behind Saudi Arabia and Russia under the Biden presidency. This 160 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: is not an accident. It's also pointing out the extreme 161 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: hypocrisy of the climate change Green New Deal Zealots and 162 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: that is this. They are somehow acting as if getting 163 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: oil and gas from Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Venezuela or 164 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: Russia before they invaded Ukraine, as if getting oil from 165 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: those foreign countries is somehow better for the environment. They 166 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: are pretending because the United States is committed to the 167 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: Green New Deal, that somehow the global oil industry isn't 168 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: a global marketplace. So when we de incentivize our own 169 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: country to produce oil and gas, all were doing is 170 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: creating more power for the petro dictators right now. And 171 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: in no way is it better for the environment for 172 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: us to be begging Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iran or Russia 173 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: to produce more oil for us to be able to buy. 174 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: It's just a total and complete farcical why but it 175 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: allows the idiots and the Green New Deal wing of 176 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party to believe that they are getting something 177 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: better for the world when I would just say to them, 178 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: if the oil and gas is being produced, no matter what, 179 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't you rather the money be produced in a free 180 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: country where our people benefit from it, as opposed to 181 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: a petro dictatorship around the world, which is where the 182 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: money goes otherwise, it's as though they've been running a 183 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: plan for many years to make it harder and harder 184 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: and more and more expensive to produce this stuff domestically. 185 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: And now they're trying to turn around and tell everybody, 186 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: what do you mean, we love we love gas, just 187 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: lower the price, even if there was a concerted effort 188 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: to increase. It's not just, as we know, exploration and 189 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: then the actual getting the gas out of the ground. 190 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: It's also the refining process. Even if they wanted to 191 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: do that, it would take some time. But that's why 192 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: they respond. That's why this industry responds to market signals 193 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: over a longer horizon and say, look, we're not going 194 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: to be taking We don't want to take a loss 195 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: on these things. The Biden administration's position isn't even you 196 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: guys need to produce more oil. Gear up, let's go 197 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: we were wrong. It's take a loss on this until 198 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: the elections happen and we don't have to face the 199 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: wrath of voters, and then we'll go back to talking 200 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 1: about windmills and solar And you know, Bill Gates can 201 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: be lecturing everybody about eating bugs. That's who they are, 202 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: and they're trying to hide it from the American people. 203 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: They have made this a longstanding policy of the Democrat rats. 204 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: They have gone completely insane on this climate change stuff 205 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 1: for twenty years. This has been a twenty year arc 206 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: of total Go back and watch the al Gore movie. 207 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: But it's kind of fun to go back and watch 208 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: it now. Everything he says is wrong, everything he says 209 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: is not true. That was the most successful documentary of 210 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: all time in terms of money that it made because 211 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: all the libs were like, oh my gosh, the planet's 212 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: melting or whatever. Florida is gonna be under the entirety 213 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: of the Atlantic Ocean. I mean, they were saying crazy stuff, 214 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: and here we are now they act like they never 215 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: said it, Clay, Just like Biden's acting like he didn't 216 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: say we're gonna phase out fossil fuels. A lot of 217 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: those people are still buying beach houses. Just toss it 218 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: out there.

Prices are actually going up, suggesting that the 223 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: market is not really buying into the idea that beaches 224 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: are going underwa just toss it out there for everybody. 225 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: I also want you to know before you know it. 226 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: I can't believe we have to say this, it's gonna 227 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: be holiday season.

Sign up today Stamps dot Com. Welcome back 254 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: in Clay Turravis Buck Sexton Show. I want to talk 255 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: about state of Florida for a minute if I can. 256 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: We're about to be joined by Anna Paulina Luna, who 257 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: is going to be I believe, one of the newest 258 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: Republicans elected to Congress here in about twenty days, and 259 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm curious what story she will be seeing on the ground. 260 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: And then we're gonna go and talk to Senator Marco 261 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: Rubio at the top of the next hour. And he 262 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: had his big debate against Valve Demming's last night. He's 263 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: coming on to react to it with us. But a 264 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: couple of things, Rhonda Santis and all the people of 265 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: Florida who are responding to Hurricanean have already got the 266 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: Santabelle Island Bridge back up, just got announced a couple 267 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: of hours ago. If any of you've ever been to 268 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: Santabelle Islands, beautiful place. A lot of rebuilding now that 269 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: needs to be done. But Buck, you and I saw 270 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: the videos of that essential epicenter of the storm that 271 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: eviscerated and I don't think that's an exaggerated word. There 272 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: much of the island and destroyed the bridge, the bridge, 273 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: the causeway to get you to Santabell Island, and many 274 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: people have not been able to get out onto that 275 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: island since they've already rebuilt the bridge. Buck, when I 276 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: saw that to allow people to get back and forth. 277 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: When I saw that bridge, I thought, there's no way 278 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: people are going to be able to use this bridge 279 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: for months and months. It's going to be the spring 280 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: at the best before they have regular access to be 281 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: able to get back to that island. They opened it 282 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: up today, and I think this is a testament to 283 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: the job Brown Descantis has done as governor. And I 284 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: was just you guys, next twenty days, I'm looking at 285 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: him obsessively looking at the betting odds right this minus 286 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: three thousand to be re elected governor of Florida. That 287 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: means you would have to bet three thousand dollars in 288 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: order to win one hundred dollars. I mean, he is 289 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: a monster favorite. He's going to destroy Charlie Christ and 290 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: I believe that Florida now is the home of the 291 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: Republican Party. And the way that De Santis responded to 292 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: that hurricane, there was even quotes out there from Charlie 293 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: Chris people saying we were hoping he was going to 294 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: do a bad job. Think about how desperate you are 295 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: politically that you have to hope someone does a bad 296 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: job responding to a natural getting people to even have 297 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: a chance for people to vote for you, to getting 298 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: people's electricity turned back on and help them get food, 299 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: and you know, safety and shelter after a natural disaster. 300 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: But you know, Democrats, no principles, no standards, folks, It's 301 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: very common thing among them. Look, we all know this. 302 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: If ron De Santis hadn't done a very strong job 303 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: and really beyond reproach job, I think, as a way 304 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: to think of it, it's all we'd be hearing about 305 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: from Democrats, certainly in the state media in Florida, but 306 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: also nationwide, because they view him as a they view 307 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: him as a political threat. I think this is important, 308 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: This is true. If anything, they're gonna view carry Lake 309 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: the same way when she wins and does what she's 310 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: doing in Arizona. Play any successful Republican politician who's making 311 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: people's lives better. You'll notice the theme here. The lib 312 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: media hates them, hates them anybody anywhere you can point 313 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: to who is bringing down crime, bringing up the number 314 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: of people moving to that state, businesses growing, people thriving, 315 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: balancing budgets, creating surpluses. Libs hate those people, you know. 316 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I get it. North Korea hate South Korea. 317 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: I get it. But you know there are there are 318 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 1: reasons for this, so we should all be very we 319 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: should all be very aware. I think of the fact 320 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,239 Speaker 1: that if there was an opening to attack him, they 321 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: would be piling on. There's no doubt, and he's going 322 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: to win such a big landslide. It's gonna be interesting 323 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: to see how people in the left wing who tried 324 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: to turn him into the Great Satan during COVID are 325 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: going to respond to Floridian's overwhelmingly supporting this antis after 326 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: Remember he only won by thirty thousand votes in eighteen. 327 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 1: It's really important everybody stays prepared for whatever the unthinkable. 328 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: Even the unthinkable is perhaps a supply chain slow down, 329 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: a run on the supermarkets, a global food shortage.

Welcome back Clay Travis and Buck 347 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We have Biden addressing the nation right now 348 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: on the gas price situation. Actually said something that a 349 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: little surprising goes to the desperation of the moment when 350 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: it comes to the Democrats realizing what the future is. 351 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: We'll get into that with you in just a little bit. 352 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: We'll have the most important soundbites from that speech to 353 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: then of course dissect and destroy for amusement on the show, 354 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: because I'm sure it's very much an position with Democrats 355 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: have been saying up until this point. We will get 356 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: into that. But first we are joined by our friend 357 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: Anna Pauline a Luna. She is running for congress up 358 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and she is 359 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: with us. Now. Anna, great to have you back. Thank 360 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: you so much for having me back on Bucks. So 361 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: one thing I think is really is really interesting is 362 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: how much money the Democrats or you're in a congressional race, 363 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: And yeah, sure some congressional races yours getting a lot 364 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: of attention, Some get more attention than others, but they 365 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: generally don't get the kind of money that is being 366 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: engaged in the millions, and yet the Democrats are throwing 367 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: the kitchen sink at you, it seems. What's going on. Well, 368 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: as of right now, we are collectively up against seven 369 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: million dollars in spending, which is pretty unheard of for 370 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: most house races in Florida. So, as you know, this 371 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: was a newly redistricted seat, we are one of the 372 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: top five targeted to take back the house and just 373 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: one an ilion Illinois billionaire actually just dumped in about 374 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: seven million dollars into a superpack called Progress for Panellis 375 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 1: and apparently he's trying to turn Pennell's County into Chicago. 376 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: What Anna, thanks for coming on. And I know that 377 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: that we've met before and we talked about this race. 378 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: But what's the most ridiculous thing that you have seen 379 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: said about yourself? With all of this money rolling in, 380 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: I think you've got a decent into humor. I mean, 381 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: some of it has to be crazy, right to be 382 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: twenty days out and to have them so desperate in 383 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 1: a state where RHN de Santa is going to kick 384 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: ass in the governor's race, and certainly Marco Rubio who 385 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: were about to have on is going to beat Val Dimmings. 386 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: They are desperate to try to find a win somewhere anywhere. 387 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: What's the craziest attack you've seen against yourself? So initially 388 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: it started out with my Democrat opponent calling me supreme extreme, 389 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: and then I looked it up and it's actually a tep. 390 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: You're gonna laugh. It's tepe guacamole. And so I know 391 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: I'm aesthetic, right, I'm Mexican. But you know, it's interesting 392 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: that the Democrat Party always likes to really kind of 393 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: label Hispanic Republicans as some form of food item or 394 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: as nasty close he said, you know, crop pickers, but yeah, 395 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: breakfast breakfast taco right, as Joe Biden memorably described, yeah, 396 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: breakfast tacos. But you know, doesn't just stop there. We 397 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: found out recently and I'm actually going to probably be 398 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: trolling my opponent here in a few minutes. But my 399 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: Democrat opponent actually started sending out my swimsuit photos to 400 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: his donors, and I guess in an effort to have 401 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: them donate to him. But I'm actually going to be 402 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: trolling him about this because she was recently photo dancing 403 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 1: with drag queens, and so I said, well, I know 404 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: that your party can't define women, but I can, and 405 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: you choose a difference. We're talking to an Napoleon alluded everybody. 406 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: She's running for Florida's thirteenth congressional district in the Tampa 407 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 1: Bay area, and Anna, I wanted to let you just 408 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: tell everybody a little bit about your background. I mean, 409 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 1: you're an Air Force veteran, but even earlier on than that, 410 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 1: there's some really interesting parts that parts of your experience 411 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: you're in this country that you bring to the table 412 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: that I think the voters of Tampa Bay should know about. Absolutely. So, 413 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: I grew up within the welfare system. I was raised 414 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: by a very young single mother. And you know, one 415 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: of the biggest attacks that they're running against me is 416 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: that I'm pro life. But a lot of people might 417 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: not realize that my own mother was essentially asked to 418 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: have an abortion by my father and she chose life. 419 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: And then later on, when I met my husband, Andy, 420 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: who you well know, it turned out that he was 421 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: actually a byproduct of unconsensual events and he was actually 422 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,239 Speaker 1: adopted out with his twin brother. So a lot of 423 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: what I talk about in regards to life, in regards 424 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: to you know, the ability to be born into nothing 425 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: and really attain everything through hard work. In the American 426 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: drew not from personal experience, you know. I left a 427 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: situation and environment where I was exposed to gang culture 428 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: at the inner cities of Los Angeles. I joined the 429 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: military at nineteen, and it was the best decision I 430 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: ever could have made. I met my husband, Andy twelve 431 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: years ago. We got married pretty quickly, So we married 432 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 1: after about a month of dating. But you know, I'm 433 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: very happy to say that we were still together. We're 434 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,120 Speaker 1: pushing strong, and in twenty fourteen, when he was shot 435 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, I actually ended up really seeing firsthand what 436 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: happens with the long term impacts of war on the 437 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: families and what our friends were going through. And so 438 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: I got involved with several nonprofits focusing on PTSD, and 439 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 1: I later came across an organization called Veterans for Child Rescue, 440 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: and ultimately that's how I got politicals I was working 441 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: as a volunteer and counter trafficking, and I realized propaganda 442 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: was being used against the American people in regards to 443 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: what was happening with immigration debate, and I was later 444 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: recruited by Turning Point USA. I was there for about 445 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: a year. I want to pragger you as their national 446 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: Hispanic Outreach director, and realized I needed to run for office. 447 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: So I'm here weathering the storm now. And what would 448 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: happen if you had enjoy in the military based on 449 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: just kind of the environment that I was exposed to? 450 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: I mean, to be quite honesty, most people that you 451 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: know are from where I'm at, born in Wedlock, obviously 452 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: exposed to poverty. I probably would have ended up, you know, 453 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: either on drugs, probably single with a kid. And you know, 454 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: I understand people are not always dealt the best hand. 455 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: But the military really provided me the structure that I needed, 456 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: not to just help my family, but I was later 457 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: able to help my dad and I got him sober 458 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,719 Speaker 1: and moved him out to Florida and we had some 459 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: good time together before you passed to in January. And Anna, 460 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 1: we know you are your Mexican American by background, but 461 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: the left likes to come after you for whitewashing. What's 462 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: that all about? Yeah, so I realized that because of 463 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: the color of my skin, I'm not the right type 464 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: of minority. Right do you left likes to stereotype and 465 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: to use race and skin color to divide people so 466 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: that we don't talk to one another. I've been told 467 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: countless times by laftist reporters that you know, how am 468 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: I Hispanic? If I look white? And then you know 469 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 1: my response is pretty straightforward. Am I supposed to look 470 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: like Speedy Gonzales and run around with system Barrow to, 471 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, prove how hispanic I am? I mean, they 472 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: like to forget that Barack Obama was half white, and 473 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: yet they called him the first black president. So I 474 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: mean they like to push that narrative. But as you'll known, 475 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: as many people listening to the show, to include you know, 476 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: some of my friends, Mario. I know you're listening to 477 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: this show all the way out in Illinois, but you know, 478 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: Hispanics are not just one color, and we're not just 479 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: one culture. Obviously, we're first and foremost Americans, but we're 480 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Columbians. And it doesn't just stop there. 481 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: I mean recently I saw a headline and an article 482 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: that try to tie me to Pablo Escobar, and I 483 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: just started laughing because I said, I don't think they 484 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 1: realized Mexicans and Columbians are different. And by the way, 485 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 1: Roun Cartels, Hannah, what are you hearing the most from 486 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: your district as you travel around? And we want you 487 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: also to tell people how they can support you where 488 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: you are running in Florida. You can give us all 489 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: that info because I'm sure that a lot of people 490 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: have really enjoyed hearing from you. But what are you 491 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: hearing on the ground from your constituents that matters the 492 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: most to them as we sit here twenty days from 493 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: the election. The economy. You know, people are actually being 494 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: priced out of Pinellas County. It is now one of 495 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: the most expensive counties to live in and all of Florida. 496 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: And you know, we have an incredible governor, but the 497 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,719 Speaker 1: governor doesn't control the economy that's made. Those decisions are 498 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: made out of the White House and out of Washington, DC. 499 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: And a lot of people right now cannot afford this 500 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: inflation that we're seeing. A lot of people are afraid 501 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: of what's happening. When you have Joe Biden talking to 502 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 1: his donors about the potential of armageddon in nuclear war, 503 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean that's not we might think Joe Biden sounds 504 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: crazy but like that's actually very scary from a national 505 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: security perspective, and so a lot of people right now, 506 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: as much as you left, as much as Democrats are 507 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: really just I think, like emotionally abusing my constituents with 508 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: these awful attack ads about me, saying that I'm crazy 509 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: and all this other garbage. You know, those people are 510 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: really struggling. And so I am for a balance the 511 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: budget amendment. I am for really reeling in some of 512 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: this reckless spending. But more importantly, I'm someone that's controlled 513 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: by we the people, not special interests, and definitely not 514 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: some billionaire you know, playboy out in Illinois or yeah, Michigan, Annapolina, Luda. 515 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: Where do people go to donate, because you're going to 516 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: need the war chest here to fight back against Libs 517 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,239 Speaker 1: in New York and California and everywhere else that are 518 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: donating your opponent. Yeah, if you want to help fight 519 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton source money that they're pouring into this race, 520 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: and that's exactly where it's coming from, please head to 521 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: vote apl dot com. Even if you can just do 522 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: twenty dollars, it all matters. We are really really white 523 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: knuckling this race. Okay, We're holding on and we are 524 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: doing everything we can and we're looking good. But they 525 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: are throwing literally everything in the kitchen sink. So I 526 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: need your help and I hope to have your vote 527 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: on November. Let's all be honest with this. For second, folks, 528 00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:01,479 Speaker 1: they don't want a really outstanding female. The Democrats are 529 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: terrified and about an outstanding female Mexican American veteran in 530 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: Congress within our next to her name. They hate this, 531 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: so they're trying to stop this. Democrats are trying to 532 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 1: stop this. We obviously wanted to go forward. It should 533 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: go forward. Be best for the people of Pinellas County, 534 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: Annapolina alone.

Welcome back in, Clay, 556 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton, Show Anna, Paulina Luna. You just heard 557 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: from a lot of you reacting to her in that 558 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: battleground district down in Florida. That is Charlie Christ's former seat. 559 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: So it would be a pickup for Republicans if she wins, 560 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: and I think she will become I'm just gonna say, 561 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: very influential in her ability to make arguments going forward. 562 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: Perhaps you could say Clay, she's a young Carry Lake 563 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: in the making young Carry Lake. Potentially, I think she 564 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: would do really, really well. One of the challenges I 565 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: think four Democrats is when you trot out a seventy 566 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: five year old guy to try to argue against AOC, 567 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: there is a, let's be honest, a cosmetic impact. I mean, 568 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: I think AOC is an Instagram influencer who happened to 569 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: get get elected to Congress, and she has had as 570 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: a result, a substantial impact with the Instagram generation. I 571 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,959 Speaker 1: think what's going to happen great untold story for this 572 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: midterm is if things go well, Annapolina, Luna, Caroline Levitt, 573 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: who were about to have on in a little bit, 574 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: We're gonna have on some of these younger candidates for 575 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: Republicans who are trying to win elections. There's going to 576 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: be a generational change in a big way, and the 577 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: Republican Party is going to have people who can appeal 578 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: better I think to people in their twenties and thirties. Now, 579 00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm not saying if you're a seventy five year old candidate, 580 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: you can't have young supporters obviously. Unfortunately, Bernie Sanders was 581 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: propelled by many young people who found him to be 582 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: particularly trustworthy and wanted to support his ideas. But I 583 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 1: do think it's important to have young people fighting fights, 584 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: and Annapolina Luna would be a big addition, as would 585 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: the guest we're going to have in a little bit, 586 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: Caroline a Lovet. By the way, we're going to be 587 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: joined by Marco Rubio here shortly. But Buck, you were 588 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: talking about before we talked to Anna Paulina Luna that 589 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: there was a speech being given by Joe Biden. I 590 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: think we have a cut. He's trying to talk about 591 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: gas prices, energy policy. I haven't even heard this cut yet, 592 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: but this is Joe Biden. Just a few minutes ago 593 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: the DAMN announcing three critical steps and my administration will 594 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: take to produce gas prices at the pump. First, the 595 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: Department of Energy, you will release another fifteen million barrels 596 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: from the Strategic Patrolling Reserve, extending our previously announced release 597 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 1: through the month of December. Independent analysts have confirmed that 598 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: draw downs on the reserve so far have played a 599 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: big role and bringing down oil prices so We're going 600 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: to continue to responsibly use that nationalist st Right now, 601 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 1: the strategic Strategic Patrolling Reserve is more than half full 602 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 1: with about four hundred million barrels of oil. That's more 603 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: than enough for any emergency draw it out. With my 604 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 1: announcement today, we're going to continue to stabilize markets and 605 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: decrease the prices at a time when the actions of 606 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: other countries have caused such volatility. He also went on 607 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,959 Speaker 1: to say Clay, first of all, blaming in other countries. 608 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: This is a version of the Putin price hike. It's ridiculous. 609 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is something that you know, any administration 610 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: deals with other countries actions, and yet some administrations want drill, 611 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: baby drill, and other administrations or we need more windmills, 612 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: and they're in the latter category and we all know it. 613 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: But he did say increased domestic production. I saw it 614 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: and closed caption on the screen while we were doing 615 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: the show, and while we're talking to Anna Polina Luda 616 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: popped up on the screen, And the fact that those 617 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: words would even come from Biden's mouth right now, increase 618 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: oil production just goes to show you because that has 619 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: not been what they were saying they were asking Venezuela, 620 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 1: they were asking Iran, they were asking Russia. You know, whoever, 621 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:17,319 Speaker 1: anybody else increase it but us. They're desperate politically right now. 622 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: They're so desperate that they're willing to tick off the 623 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: ultra high, high dollar donor environmentalist wackos who write a 624 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: lot of checks to a lot of Democrat packs. It's 625 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: also worth mentioning he tried to say, oh, we still 626 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: have a lot of oil in the strategic petroleum reserve. 627 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: It's actually the lowest level since the early nineteen eighties. Now, 628 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: so Biden has been desperately selling off much of our 629 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: strategic petroleum reserve in an effort to keep oil prices 630 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: from going up. The challenge now with these fifteen million 631 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 1: additional barrels is we were already down at the lowest 632 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: level based on the graphics and data that I saw 633 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: since the nineteen eighties. So he is trying to get 634 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 1: the price of oil down as low as he possibly 635 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: can before the midterms. We know this because of the 636 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: relationships and the reports associated with Saudi Arabia. It's desperation. 637 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: The analogy I'm gonna keep making it for the next 638 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: twenty days. Biden and the Democrats are a boxer who 639 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: is laid in a match that they are losing, and 640 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 1: I think they are going to get increasingly desperate, starting 641 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,920 Speaker 1: to throw big punches. They're going to leave themselves open 642 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 1: for devastating counterattacks. But make sure that you don't hop 643 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: on the crazy train. Let the crazy train go fly 644 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: and buy and counteract what they're saying because they don't 645 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: have a rationale for why they should be supported in 646 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: the midterms. Biden's been the worst president in any of 647 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: our lives over the last two years. There needs to 648 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: be a reckoning. There is going to be a reckoning. 649 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: The question is do we get a red wave or 650 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: a red tsunami? And this is their attempt to keep 651 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: it at a wave as opposed to a tsunami. I 652 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: think they're going to leave open a lot of counterattacks, 653 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: like Stacy Abrams today that are absolutely devastating. Your answer 654 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: to inflation is abortion. That's not a good one. I 655 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: was thinking about this because you could always get into this, 656 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: into this frame of mind. No is it is it 657 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: more that their candidates are so bad or that our 658 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: candidates are so good? And I actually think it's both. 659 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: I think Democrats have a particularly bad set of candidates 660 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: this time around, and I think that Republicans have a 661 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: particularly strong set when you add in governors and members 662 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: of Congress. You know, some of these Senate choices maybe 663 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 1: seemed but to some of that, to some of the 664 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: newcomer's credit on the Senate side who want to be 665 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: in the Senate, they've stepped up the game. We all 666 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 1: know oz Is stepped up his game, herschel Walker stepped 667 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: up his game. Blake Master's first time out. So I 668 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: think we've got a strong, a strong crew of candidates. 669 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: I do. Look, I think jd Vance and Blake Masters 670 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 1: have eviscerated their competitors in debate. I thought, But I mean, 671 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: Jad's not a surprise, right, like he was excluded. I 672 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: think some people may have been surprised by that. I mean, 673 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: you know that the Peter teol Back candidates. You may 674 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: not agree with them, but you know they're going to 675 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 1: be super smart because Peter Teo, whether you like him 676 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: or not, is a super smart guy who's going to 677 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: be surrounded by very competent, intelligent people. Mr guy, Yeah, 678 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: and he just whipped Val Dimmings in their debate. I mean, 679 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: these debates are not going well at all.
