1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,599
Speaker 1: All right, second hour, Clay and Buck starts right now.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Just as a reminder, at the about of the hour,

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House Johnson will be with us talking

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: about the Save Act and the border and also bide

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: in succession crisis or reelection crisis, whatever you want to

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: call it. This is the story that is more than

7
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: anything else right now, in the middle of July of

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: a presidential election year, the thing that everyone is watching

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: very closely, because the whole race could change in a day,

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: in an hour, really, in any moment, we could find

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: out that there is a massive change in the race

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,160
Speaker 1: that nobody can anticipate currently because we don't know even

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: what the secondary options are. As we've been discussing, I

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: still think it as likely as Joe Biden holds out,

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: but understand that that has been a tough position to

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: hold to given the pressure that has been put on

17
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: the Biden team to push him aside. And I bring

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: you now the New York Times with its main piece

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: right now New York Times top story on the website.

20
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: Some Biden advisors are discussing how to convince him to

21
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: step aside. Close allies of the president are developing a

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: case for why he should end his re election campaign,

23
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: though it does not clear the discussions have reached him. Okay, okay,

24
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: let's get into a little bit of this, shall we.

25
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: So they're saying a small group of Biden advisors in

26
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: the administration and the campaign, and at least two of

27
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: whom have told allies they do not believe he should

28
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: keep trying to run for a second term, have said

29
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: they would try to convince the President of the following things. Quote.

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: They said they have to make the case to the President,

31
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: who remains convinced of the strength of his campaign that

32
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: he cannot win against former President Donald J. Trump. They

33
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: have to persuade him to believe that another candidate, vice

34
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: President Kamala Harris, can beat Donald Trump. And they have

35
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: to assure mister Biden that should he step aside, the

36
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: process to choose another candidate would be orderly and not

37
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: devolve into chaos in the Democratic Party. This is I think,

38
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: this is fascinating. Again, we are watching.

39
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: We've never seen anything like this ever happen in any

40
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: of our lives.

41
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: This is the flagship publication of the Democrat Party, no

42
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: question about it. Trying to create more news cycle time

43
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: focused on pushing Joe Biden out. The New York Times

44
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: is all in on Biden's ouster. That is what you

45
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: are seeing. They won't name these advisors. Why not if

46
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: it's so important, if the Republicans at stay, why would

47
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: you grant them anonymity? Right? Oh, they won't talk to

48
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: us with that anonymity. Really because I thought the country

49
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: was at stake. I thought democracy was at stake and

50
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: all that other stuff they say, Clay uh. The The

51
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: New York Times component of this is fascinating, But yeah,

52
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: you gonna just by their own admission, these advisors have

53
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: to convince Biden he can't win, Kamala can win, and

54
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: the process will be orderly if he steps down at

55
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: the convention. They can't convince Joe Biden of any of

56
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: the three. That's what I get from reading this Good

57
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Luck Advisors. That's one interesting angle. The one that I

58
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: actually think is more intriguing is Biden's own campaign, according

59
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: to The New York Times, is conducting polling in favor

60
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: of Kamala Harris to see how she does against Donald Trump.

61
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: If I were the President of the United States, theoretically

62
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: the most powerful man on the planet, and my own

63
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: campaign was doing polling to see whether the vice president

64
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: would do better than I would in a presidential campaign.

65
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: I would fire everyone involved with that. That is a

66
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: coup inside of your own campaign. Do you find this

67
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: as staggering as I do?

68
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: If?

69
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean, that is an unbelievable betrayal. You are putting

70
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: yourself out there, You're raising hundreds of millions of dollars.

71
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: You are the president of the United States, you have

72
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: all the delegates to be the nominee for twenty twenty four,

73
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: and your own campaign is polling Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

74
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 2: They're spending the money that you are ra to try

75
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: to lift the second in command above the first in command.

76
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for anybody out there listening right now. If

77
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: you were in charge and you found out that this

78
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: kind of insubordination was happening, I would lose it.

79
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 3: If I were Joe Biden, if I were Jill Biden, if.

80
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: There weren't in place some sort of mechanism by which

81
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 2: we said, you said a billion dollars, I said a

82
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: couple one hundred million.

83
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: Whatever it is the.

84
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: Payoff that they will say, oh, this is a foundation,

85
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: we know how.

86
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 3: Hard you've worked.

87
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: We're going to build you an unbelievable presidential library, and

88
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: basically we're going to give your family a sinecure so

89
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: that they're all super wealthy for years and years to come.

90
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: That might work on Hunter, that might work on Jill

91
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: because then they're like, oh, we don't have to work

92
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: anymore and we're super rich, which a lot of politicians

93
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: frankly get into politics to try to become super rich.

94
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: There's a couple things here, Klay. One is I think

95
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: if they even if Biden's family approached him with that,

96
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: I think he would say, what do you think happens

97
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: if I win? Guys, he fundamentally has to believe that

98
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: he can win. He is the sitting president. He beat

99
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Trump before. Again, I know I sound like Biden's lawyer here,

100
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: maybe I should be, but he at his core believes that.

101
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: Also, sorry to cut you off here, but twenty five

102
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: percent or thirty percent chance that he would win, right,

103
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: So if you're like this not crazy that he could win.

104
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: We're not talking about ninety nine to one. It's like,

105
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: if you look at the polling, there's a twenty five

106
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: or one in three chance maybe at best, that he

107
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: could win.

108
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: It's a neck and neck race. Basically if you look

109
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: at the national vote numbers.

110
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: I mean I know that in the Swing States, but

111
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: I would give him a one in three chance to win.

112
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: Right now, I don't think that's crazy. And by the way,

113
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: that's pretty good percentages to be elected president of the

114
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: United States.

115
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: What were Trump's chances to win in twenty sixteen going

116
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: into the Republican convention? Anyone? Anyone? Did anyone think it

117
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: was one? And now I know somebody were saying I

118
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: knew he would win, Okay, fine, but I mean the

119
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: odds makers chances one in three. Oh, I don't think

120
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: it was New York Times there was a ninety seven

121
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: percent chance on the day of.

122
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: The He'll after the grabber by the pussy Willow tape.

123
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: It was way I mean, you could have gotten some

124
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: of you did ten to one on Trump to win,

125
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: like in the gambling markets.

126
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: So so, but this brings me back to, first of all,

127
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: the you keep saying, or you brought up that the

128
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: campaign is polling. I think they want to show the

129
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: Kamala does worse.

130
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, because that is what that's one thing to

131
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: what's going on.

132
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, that puts the whole thing to bed if

133
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: you get some If you you say, if you're the

134
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: Biden team that still wants him to run, which is

135
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: going to be most, if not all, of his senior

136
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: people because they want to keep those jobs in that access,

137
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: the best way to make this whole thing go away

138
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: is you're like, all right, let's get who's our best

139
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: pollster right now in the swing states. And you show

140
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: that Biden is equal to or surpasses, surpasses Kamala in

141
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: a head to head, then this whole thing falls. Then.

142
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 2: But the problem is, what if she's better, I wouldn't

143
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: even want the polls done. That's where I'm saying, Like,

144
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: if I'm Biden, I'm like, I'm the guy. You don't

145
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: run options on number two, Like when you're getting ready

146
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: to walk down the the we were using the wedding analogy.

147
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: You don't suddenly say, hey, how would the best man

148
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: do if we decided to pick him instead of you.

149
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: It's a little bit like calling for you know, the

150
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: breathalyzer or the light detector, like you better be damn sure, right. So,

151
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I think from Biden's team's perspective, I mean,

152
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I do not see a world in

153
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: which Kamala Harris is even is even compelled. I mean, look,

154
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: just to be clear, the others that people have talked about,

155
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom gets gets smoked. I mean nationally, It's like

156
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: we agreed three or something. I mean, he gets absolutely destroyed.

157
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: So these other, these other names that come up because

158
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: you know, we all live in this media cable news

159
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: world of of Oh wouldn't this be interesting?

160
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: Uh?

161
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: The only one that is that is a serious contender

162
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: would be Michelle I mean sorry, no, now, Michelle Obama

163
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: would be.

164
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: I think has the best answer to win.

165
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 2: I understand everybody's like, you're crazy, but just to just

166
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: I think she would be the best way.

167
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is the only is the only plan B.

168
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: And And the truth is that I think Kamala Harris,

169
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: even with all of this, uh, still underperforms what Joe

170
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: Biden would perform in those states because I think that

171
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: people really just think that Joe Biden is a brand

172
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: more than anything else, and that the advisors would make

173
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: the tough decisions and they could start to lean in

174
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: more on that. But look, this is this is also

175
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: if you if you study airplane disasters, which not a

176
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: lot of people do. But if you watch some of

177
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: those shows, are you you know uh, you know, I

178
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: have some friends who are very knowledgeable in the aerospace industry, right,

179
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: and also your father in law is an unbelievable pilot,

180
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: like in your wife's family are badass pilots prepared. It's

181
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: like a little kid, I'm just like, what happens if

182
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: flood wigg comes up? You know, He's like, well, we

183
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: could probably you know, he could ask all these questions.

184
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: But if you if you look at airline disasters, it's

185
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: usually it's usually cascading error, meaning one thing to another,

186
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: thing to another, there's a series of mistakes and then

187
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: catastrophe happens, and you know, there's major loss of life.

188
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: The Democrat everyone keeps looking at this as though it's

189
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: just the Joe Biden thing and everything was going fine.

190
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: The law Fair campaign, which was the singular Democrat obsession

191
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: of the last year, has completely failed. Yeah, completely failed.

192
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: The defend democracy January sixth obsession has completely failed up

193
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: to this point. And on top of that you have

194
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: the Biden disaster debate. So it's really a series of

195
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: things here. And I think that the cooler wiser heads

196
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: among the Democrats understand that it's not like you replace

197
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and oh everything clicks into place. They have

198
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: taken multiple swings here in this election cycle that have

199
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: been abject failures, I mean, really disasters for them. And

200
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: I think that this is why stability and what you know,

201
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: meaning Joe Biden still ends up being more compelling even reading.

202
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: Even by the way, the White House unequivocally denies the

203
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: account of the New York Times. Not a surprise. No,

204
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 1: the president's team is strongly behind him. That's the official quote.

205
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: Not a surprise. But uh, you know, Clayton, to the

206
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: point I was making, I know you could say they

207
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: get fired. But if you got fired from this White

208
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: House because you were trying to get Joe to be

209
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: replaced with another Democrat, you get your name in lights.

210
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: You're a here. They're not even the people saying this,

211
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: they're not sure that Joe's not going to be the

212
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: guid Do you know what I mean? If you were

213
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: sure you could push Joe out, I think you want

214
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: your name in the New York Times piece even in

215
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: this White House saying I think I love the president,

216
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: I think he should step aside they're worried.

217
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: Now, oh that's why the Again, you want the bigger

218
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: tree so that you can be in the shade. Most

219
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: people don't want to be the big tree because they

220
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: don't want to. When you're the tall tree, the wind

221
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: blows strong, people come after.

222
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: You, they try to chop you down.

223
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: If you're just the secondary tree that stands in the shade,

224
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: that's where most politicians want to be. They want somebody

225
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: else to take the heat, and then they want to

226
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: get as close to power as they can with limited cost.

227
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: And that's what you're seeing right now.

228
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: Who's the most prominent person to actually say Joe Biden

229
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: has to step down? The senator from Vermont in the

230
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: Washington Post, probably the most prominent elected Democrat official. Yeah,

231
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: we're more famous than.

232
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 3: That guy is.

233
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: I've actually I've actually heard I've heard that that guy

234
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: still requires proof of vaccination to go into his Senate office.

235
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: I've heard that in Vermont.

236
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's a lunatic.

237
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: Okay, so but that that kind that guy, nobody knows

238
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: who he is. He has a prominent office. I now,

239
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: I don't can I ask you a question that we

240
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: didn't get you first?

241
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: It just really hit me. Why wouldn't Why would Barack

242
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: Obama use George Clooney as a cutout. Why wouldn't Barack

243
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: Obama come out and say it first himself? You see

244
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: what I mean?

245
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: No, I I think.

246
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: Imagine if that Will went to George Clooney to do

247
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: his dirty work for him.

248
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: No, because I think Obama desperately cares about what people

249
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: think about him, and I think you that's what That's

250
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: what my question has been.

251
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: Is he paving the way to come in on.

252
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: Gilded lily pads, walking on water like Barack Obama?

253
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 3: Does?

254
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: I know? But if he does, Clay, I think Joe

255
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: Biden's like, that's a really interesting perspective. I'm still running.

256
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: Well, that's the ultimate that's the ultimate trump card he has, right,

257
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: he is the president of the United States. And to

258
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: your point, it's like they thought that they could make

259
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: him do whatever they want, and suddenly they're thinking to themselves,

260
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: weight has the Ai gone?

261
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: Rogue has our?

262
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 2: You know, like Ai chatbot Manchurian candidate decided he has

263
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: his own opinions.

264
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: He's effectively a CEO of a company that also has

265
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: board control, like he has a majority of the seats too.

266
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: There is no mechanism, so you could keep going, Oh,

267
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: I don't like the CEO's direction for the company. If

268
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: the CEO wants to stay and has board control, guess

269
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: what it's that guy's company.

270
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: Well, he's got the best analogy is he's like Zuckerberg,

271
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: you have dual shareholder controls. He has the majority control

272
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 2: of all the votes, like right now. That's why I

273
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: asked the question, how walked in are Biden's delegates? That's

274
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: the question that I haven't heard explored.

275
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Clay, the convention will go nuts if there

276
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: is a straight up delegate coup to betray all the

277
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: voters because they think it's better. And who's to say that?

278
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: Think about all that.

279
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: My understanding the Bernie bros.

280
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: And the and the you know and the Gavin Newsom

281
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: fans and the Corey Booker voters, and that you go

282
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: down the Oh.

283
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: But whatever the delegates do, my understanding is that there's

284
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: not a majority.

285
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: The super delegates get to have a say.

286
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: That's the unelected, Like there's like nine hundred and seventy

287
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: of them. I wonder if they're a play to threaten

288
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: Biden with you're not going to have a majority. And

289
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna, we're willing to embarrass you at the convention.

290
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 2: And I still can come back to this other than Kamala,

291
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 2: for whom this whole thing is the gravest of insults.

292
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: Can we just be clear the fact that she isn't

293
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: already the nominee is such a slap in the face

294
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: to Kamala Harris.

295
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: Other than Kamala Harris, who really wants this job? You're

296
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: going up against Trump on a title wave of numbers

297
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: and support and everything else, you know, I mean that,

298
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that, because that's the other part of

299
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: this that I think is really interesting. Is this idea that, oh,

300
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: somebody really wants the job.

301
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: But is there a sacrificial way I'm being set up

302
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: if it's not Biden, Basically, switch your cell phone service

303
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: to the one that I rely on, Puretalk, and you'll

304
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: be saving at least fifty dollars a month or more

305
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: while not sacrificing an equality. Puretalk's monthly price for service

306
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: is just twenty bucks for unlimited talk, text, and plenty

307
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: of data. You'll have service on America's most dependable five

308
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: G network while saving six hundred bucks or more a year.

309
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: Pure Talk doesn't just save you money each month while

310
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: delivering superior cell phone service, You're also supporting a company

311
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: who's sharing your values. Puretalk creates American jobs, and it

312
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: supports our veterans. One hundred percent of their customer service

Speaker 2: by Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. A lot to

326
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: get into with him, including what is going on with

327
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 2: the Save Act, which we discussed yesterday, how does he

328
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: see the top of the ticket impacting the Republican attempt

329
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: to retain control of the House, and what is he

330
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: hearing behind closed doors from Democrats about the panic surrounding

331
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. We got a lot to get into here

332
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 2: in about five minutes or so with Speaker of the

333
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: House Mike Johnson as he gets ready to join us.

334
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: And I was just saying off Airbuck, every time I

335
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: hit refresh on my Twitter feed to see what the

336
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: latest news is, anything can happen, and it's hard to

337
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: even keep track of what might be happening. But remember,

338
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 2: six point thirty eastern Biden is having a press conference,

339
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: and I can't imagine that that will go very well

340
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 2: for him at all. I would bet that that will

341
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: be our lead tomorrow is how that press conference goes.

342
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: So Buck and I are just as crazily following these

343
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,840

Speaker 1: Welcome back in everybody we have speak or Mike Johnson,

362
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House, with us now, mister Speaker, appreciate

363
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: you making the time, sir.

364
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, great to hear your voice.

365
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 1: It's good to be with you, you too. All right,

366
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: Let's start with this, the Save Acts. What would this do?

367
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: Why do Democrats oppose it? And where does it currently

368
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: stand now that the House has weighed in.

369
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, we weighed in last night. We passed it out

370
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 5: of the House with one hundred ninety eight House Democrats

371
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 5: voting no. And guess what they voted no to, guys,

372
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 5: They've voted against the legislation. That would very simply and

373
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 5: very clearly ensure that only Americans get to the side

374
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 5: of American elections. What concept. One hundred ninety eight House Democrats

375
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 5: voted to allow illegal aliens to vote in American elections.

376
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 5: That's exactly what happened. Only five Democrats joined us. Here's

377
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 5: the problem. We have non citizens who are registering to

378
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 5: vote in federal elections, and we have a big one

379
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: upon us in November. Right, we know that Joe Biden

380
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 5: has allowed, by our account, probably as many as sixteen

381
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 5: million illegals to come across that border since he walked

382
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 5: into the Oval office and began to open And why

383
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 5: it's just a fraction of those actually go to register

384
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 5: to vote and participate. They can throw a congressional race,

385
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 5: they can throw the balance of the majority in the

386
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 5: House or the Senate. They might even affect presidential race outcome.

387
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 5: It's enough of them participate in swing states. And so

388
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 5: that's a real problem. So we passed legislation to ensure

389
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 5: that anyone who registers the vote has to have proof

390
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 5: of citizenship before they can get on the voter rule, which.

391
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: Is a totally logical, reasonable bill that Democrats are opposed to.

392
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: Which makes you raise your eyebrows and ask why, as

393
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: you guys are doing, speaking of raising eyebrows, Attorney General

394
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 2: Merrick Garland will not turn over the audio version of

395
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 2: the interview Robert Hurr did of his alleged classified documents holdings,

396
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 2: and as part of that, basically her said that by

397
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: was an elderly man with a poor memory and that's

398
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: why he wasn't being charged with a crime despite the

399
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 2: fact that he will fully retain those documents. You guys

400
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: are holding Meyrick Garland in contempt variety of different bills

401
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: going through right now. I think you just had a

402
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: recent vote. Where are we there? Where are we going?

403
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: Where should we go as it pertains to Merrick Garland

404
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: and these audio files of the interview.

405
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a great question because it's a lot to

406
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 5: keep up with. We've got multiple angles on this because

407
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 5: in the House we're trying to use every tool in

408
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 5: the Arsenal to ensure that Attorney General Garland follows the

409
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 5: law and that we can fulfill our constitutional duty. We

410
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 5: need the tapes of the Special Council hearings with the

411
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 5: interview with the President Biden, because they gave us the

412
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 5: transcript but we have no idea of knowing whether the

413
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 5: audio of that actually matches a transcript, and in order

414
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 5: to fulfill our constitutional duty of oversight over the special

415
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 5: Counsel and his decision, we have to have it. So

416
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 5: Merrick Garland, we sent a appropriate, very lawful, kind of

417
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: run of the mill subpoena to the Attorney General, and

418
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 5: he will not turn over that tape. Now, we have

419
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 5: some suspicion as to why how is Joe Biden going

420
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: to sound on that tape? Probably very much like he

421
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 5: looked on the debate stage right, But you can't that's

422
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 5: not a reason for him to withhold it. He has

423
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 5: no legal reason or no valid argument to not turn

424
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 5: it over to Congress. So we held him in contempt

425
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 5: several weeks ago on the House floor. We filed a

426
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: lawsuit in federal court less than two weeks ago to

427
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 5: enforce our subpoena, and we're looking at inherent contempt. One

428
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 5: of the first efforts at that, which is a more

429
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 5: kind of direct measure, was brought on the floor today.

430
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 5: We came a little short of that, but we're not

431
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 5: giving up. We have got to hold this ag accountable

432
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,880
Speaker 5: because they are a lawless administration, and they were affecting

433
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 5: the people's faith in our system of justice itself, and

434
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 5: that's the greatest threat, mister speaker.

435
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: Would you say to somebody who points out that there's

436
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: a perception, maybe it's a reality that when it comes

437
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: to contempt of Congress, Democrats get away with it. Republicans

438
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: get sent away for it, as in, if you're in

439
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: Trump's orbit, you go to prison for contempt of Congress.

440
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: But when it comes to Democrats, there's a history now

441
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: of Democrats who defy the will of Congress and could

442
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: be charged with contempt in a criminal fashion as well.

443
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: Is it just as simple as their teams in power,

444
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: they use it more. Our team's not in power. We

445
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: can't do anything about it. What's the reality of this?

446
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 5: That's actually a pretty good summary of it, And it's

447
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 5: very alarming for you to say it and for me

448
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 5: to acknowledge it. Right, because our whole system is built

449
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 5: from the idea that we have equal justice under law.

450
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 5: There's not two tiered on a two tiered system of justice,

451
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 5: and you don't get to put on one jersey for

452
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 5: one team and play the game that way at the

453
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 5: Department of Justice itself, But that's exactly what Merrick Garland

454
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 5: has done. They have weaponized all the agencies of federal government,

455
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 5: including the Department of Justice, and it's a serious problem.

456
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 5: We call it law fair. President Trump has been, of

457
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 5: course the victim of this, everybody in his orbit. And

458
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 5: because they have those levers of power, because they have

459
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 5: the Executive Branch. Dj is an executive branch agency, They're

460
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 5: using it to go after political opponents. It's unconscionable and

461
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 5: as I said, I think it's one of the most

462
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 5: dangerous things that's happened under the Biden administration because people

463
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 5: are losing their faith in the system of justice itself.

464
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 5: And to keep a constitution or republic, that is one

465
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 5: of the fundamental things that you must keep, you must

466
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 5: have it.

467
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: We're talking to the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.

468
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 2: You have been around Joe Biden in your official capacity

469
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: a Speaker of the House.

470
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 3: I know you were quoted in the Wall Street Journal.

471
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 2: Piece that the Democrats tried to claim was out of

472
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: context when it said that Biden was not sharp mentally

473
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: and physically. Do you think Biden right now should be

474
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 2: President of the United States or do you think he

475
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: should step down.

476
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: He has the capability to be president, right, I mean.

477
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, Like, does he have the

478
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: capability mentally and physically to be president or should he

479
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: step down? And do you think he will be and

480
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 2: or should be the nominee going forward? How would you assess,

481
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: based on your experience Biden's mental and physical capacity now

482
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 2: and going forward.

483
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 5: Evaluated purely on that capacity evaluation? No, he should not,

484
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 5: he is.

485
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: He is not on his a game.

486
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 5: I'll say it as charitably as I can. Everybody can

487
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 5: see this for themselves. I have had a couple of

488
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 5: you know, one on one meetings with him, I've had

489
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 5: you know, conversations with him over the last eight months,

490
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 5: and I've been speaker sporadic because his staff is very

491
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 5: protective and would not ever ever allow me to just

492
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 5: have a conversation that wasn't monitored and controlled in some

493
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 5: way by the people around him. Now, in hindsight, I

494
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 5: understand why. But I mean, he's clearly aging very rapidly,

495
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 5: and it's not a personal thing. It's just it's a

496
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 5: It presents a real peril for the for us and

497
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 5: for all of our allies. You know, the NATO summit

498
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 5: is going on in Washington, d C. This week, seventy

499
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 5: fifth anniversary of that big alliance, and all the you know,

500
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 5: friendly and allied nations are in town, all the prime

501
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 5: ministers and the counterparts, speakers of these other parliaments and

502
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 5: houses around the around the world, and they all come

503
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 5: in privately and shake their heads and say what the

504
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 5: heck is going on because their feel fearful for themselves.

505
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 5: If America projects weakness on the world stage, which is

506
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 5: obviously what Joe Biden is doing right now, and they've

507
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 5: become it's a mockery that jeopardizes freedom around the globe

508
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 5: because the perception of a strong America is the only

509
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 5: thing since World War Two that has kept the terrorist

510
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 5: in tyrants at bay. Right now. You see Russia, China,

511
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 5: around North Korea, I mean, Venezuela, Cuba, you know, all

512
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 5: all the nations that hate freedom and hate us are

513
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 5: being very aggressive and they're making big plans, and that's

514
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 5: a very dangerous situation for all of us.

515
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: You're the speaker of the House.

516
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: Reports out there that Biden's basically only able to do

517
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: his job from ten am to four pm. We know

518
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 2: that he told the governors recently, the Democrat governor. Hey,

519
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: I need to get more sleep. I need to be

520
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: in bed at eight. If you only did your job

521
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: from ten am to four pm, and if you went

522
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: to bed at eight o'clock every night, what percentage of

523
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: your job.

524
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: Would you be able to do as Speaker of the House.

525
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 5: Oh, the job would not be possible. I mean this

526
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 5: job and that one require a almost literal twenty four

527
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 5: hour a day of vigilance. I mean there are many

528
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 5: nights when I get three or four hours of sleep

529
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 5: at night. It's just what the job requires. I mean

530
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 5: my schedule and I'm the Speaker of the House. He's

531
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 5: the president United States. I mean my schedule is you know,

532
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 5: built in ten minute increments almost every day and there

533
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 5: is no downtime. I haven't had a day off since

534
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 5: October twenty fifth, you know. And to be the commander

535
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 5: in chief and to be the leader of the free world,

536
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 5: which is what that being the commander in chief of

537
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 5: the you know, the President of the United States is

538
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 5: you must be on your a game. You have to

539
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 5: project strength. There must be a perception that you can

540
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 5: do the job at any hour of the day. And

541
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 5: he's simply cannot. And it's not a slight dim personally,

542
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 5: it is an objective fact, and now you have Democrat

543
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 5: leaders acknowledging it suddenly. They've just suddenly noticed it. Guys,

544
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 5: they've known this all along for the last three years.

545
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 5: They're in panic right now, but the American people have

546
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 5: been in panic for much longer because we've seen it,

547
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 5: and now everybody's seen it and it's undeniable.

548
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: Mister Speaker, how do you think Republicans in the House

549
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: are looking going into the election cycle right now? What

550
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: do you think the strengths and weaknesses are of being

551
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: able to maintain the majority.

552
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 5: I think we're in excellent Jay, I mean before all

553
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 5: of this Brook, before the debate, the polling was already

554
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 5: affirming what we've known intuitively. I've traveled so far to

555
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 5: I think it's over one hundred and forty cities doing

556
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 5: events now in thirty one states or something like that.

557
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 5: Over the last six months. I go to all the

558
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 5: candidate's districts and in our incumbents, and we're doing that job.

559
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 5: There's something happening out there, guys. We're seeing a demographic

560
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 5: shift going on like we've not seen in our lifetime.

561
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 5: We have a record number of Hispanic Latino voters, of

562
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 5: Black voters, African Americans, I mean, the Jewish communities so

563
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 5: energized they're coming into the Republican camp. Why because they

564
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 5: feel like the Biden Democrats and the progressive woke agenda

565
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 5: and all of that has done a great disservice to

566
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 5: all of them there and what's good for them and

567
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 5: their families, and you know, the Biden's abandoned Israel, all

568
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 5: these things. So all these factors are happening at the

569
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 5: same time, and then you have the debate, and then

570
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 5: you have the glaring distinction between Trump and Biden, between

571
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 5: two men who have actually been president. Okay, we haven't

572
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 5: had this matchup since the late eighteen hundred, two men

573
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 5: running for president who have already done it. And so

574
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: people are looking past the reddor they're looking past the

575
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 5: talking points, and they're looking at how they're doing. You know,

576
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 5: was I doing, Was I in my family doing better

577
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 5: under President Trump's administration or President Biden's And it's not

578
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 5: even close. And so all that is to say, we're

579
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 5: very bolish about November. I'm absolutely convinced Donald Trump's going

580
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 5: to the White House. I think we're going to retake

581
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 5: the Senate for the Republican Party, and I'm absolutely convinced

582
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 5: we're going to grow the House majority for the Republicans.

583
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 5: We'll have unified government and we'll be able to fix

584
00:29:59,200 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 5: all this.

585
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: How's LSU going to do this year? Most importantly, I

586
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 3: bet to your constituents.

587
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: That's great.

588
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 5: I'm always watching it. I have a jersey above my

589
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 5: desk in the Speaker's office, mister Speakers and LSU one

590
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 5: jersey and the first speaker from the Louisiana so they honored

591
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 5: me with that. But the Tigers are always going to

592
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 5: be peting for the Natty. You know, that's football. That's

593
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 5: our thing, and in all our sports, we're just dominant university.

594
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 5: So I think football season looks pretty good. I'm gonna

595
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 5: I'm going to say we're gonna we're going to be

596
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 5: competitors all the way to the end.

597
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: I agree with the speakers, it's going to be a

598
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: great year for mister speaker. We appreciate you making the

599
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: time for Thanks so much.

Speaker 5: Yeah, my friends, good talk, YO.

601
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Tom of the Towers Foundation. They do

602
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: incredibly important work and you need to know the stories

603
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: of the people that they are helping and their families.

604
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,560

00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: in Afghanistan, Jerry was injured by an improvised explosive device.

Speaker 1: and audio and visual impairments, but he lives today after

609
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: long recovery. Nothing can reverse the damage downe to Jerry's body,

610
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: but through the Tunnel the Towers Foundation, we can honor

00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: Do you know him as conservative radio hosts? Now just

624
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 3: get to know them as guys.

625
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 4: On this Sunday hang podcast with Clay and Buck.

626
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 2: Fight it in their podcast feed on the iHeartRadio app

627
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: or wherever you get your podcasts.

628
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: Welcome back in really interesting.

629
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: I thought appreciate speaker Mike Johnson joining us giving us

630
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: kind of a behind the scenes look at what his

631
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 2: interaction with Joe Biden has been like. As we were

632
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: doing that interview. Another story coming out and we'll talk

633
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: about this sum at the top of the next hour.

634
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: NBC News, citing anonymous sources, the headline is no one

635
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: involved in the effort. This is a quote thinks he

636
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: has a path. Biden insiders say the writing is on

637
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 2: the wall. Listen to this opening paragraph. Several of President

638
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: Joe Biden's closest allies, including three people who are directly

639
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 2: involved in efforts to re elect him, told NBC News

640
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: they now see his chances of winning as zero and

641
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: the likelihood of him taking down fellow Democrat candidate's growing.

642
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 3: He needs to drop out.

643
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: One Biden official said he will never recover from this.

644
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: You know what, you know what. First of all, they're

645
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: going for it today. Again, this is the most concerted

646
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: pressure we have seen on all fronts since really right

647
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: before July July fourth or four before Independence Day weekend,

648
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, right after the debate, basically in those days

649
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: right afterwards. Clay, Here's here's where where I think this

650
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: could go. If you start to have people in the

651
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: White House and on the campaign resigning, which obviously means

652
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: they're named and known, then you might start to change

653
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: things a bit. But could you imagine if you resign

654
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: and you're you know, you're being asked which king do

655
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: you support, and you don't know who's going to end

656
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: up the king at the end of this whole process,

657
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: and that is not a fun place to be.

658
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 2: I actually feel some measure of I can't believe I'm

659
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 2: saying this sympathy for Biden, because when you're in politics,

660
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: people take shots.

661
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:10,760
Speaker 3: At you all the time.

662
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: And what I would always want if I were him

663
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 2: is I'll take the external slings and arrows. But if

664
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: people start firing at me inside of my own tent,

665
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 2: inside of your own campaign, this is a coup. And

666
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: it's not a coup from all external forces. There are

667
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: people inside of the Biden campaign, it appears, and maybe

668
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: even the Biden White House that are now taking up

669
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: arms against him. But who until we have somebody named

670
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 2: on the record who matters, I get this to be.

671
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 2: This could be like the anonymous Trump White House who

672
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 2: was a stooge, I mean something, guy was basically cleaning

673
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: the pruson who was saying like, oh, I'm the resistance

674
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 2: inside of the Trump teams.

675
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't he pops up on MSNBC every now and again.

676
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: That's a guy that definitely needs some chuck, you know.

677
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: It's it's ridiculous. I think that until you have people

678
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 1: coming out who are named, and until you have people

679
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: coming out who are willing to resign. You know, you

680
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: can't keep working for the Biden campaign and say he

681
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: can't win and he's going to destroy the democratic order,

682
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? You can't do both of

683
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: those things.

684
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 3: No, it's cowardly.

685
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: And I always say, look, you can agree or disagree

686
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 2: with everything that we've said on the show. I don't

687
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 2: think I've ever been an anonymous source for any article.

688
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: If I am not willing to say it publicly with

689
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 2: my own name attached to it, I would never go

690
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 2: out and be like an anonymous source about something.

691
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's obviously meant to give people cover to

692
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: take shots of people with no recourse against them. Clay,

693
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: I just think we got to talk more about this

694
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: because we've got the press conference, the big the quote

695
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: they called it, this the big Boy press conference that

696
00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: will be happening at A six thirty six. Definitely gonna

697
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: be watching that. And here's where I see it. This

698
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: is it if we go into the weekend. I said

699
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: it to the RNC, I said, what was it? This

700
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: is their last chance. They're throwing everything they have to

701
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: get Biden out because if he doesn't make the announcement

702
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: by end of business tomorrow and the RNC starts, I

703
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: think the clock is run out.

704
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 3: And I think that figure out no choice.

705
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think it's a coincidence that they scheduled

706
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: the Lester Holt interview for Monday and they have the

707
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: press conference today. They are the Biden team that is

708
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: still supporting him, saying we're the choice, we're the nominees.

709
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: We ain't going anywhere.

710
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: He's somewhere, yes, is this the where Behind the scenes,

711
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 2: though there's an envelope getting slit across the Resolute desk

712
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 2: and they're like, what's the number you need to leave?

713
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 3: I really wonder if that's where we are
