Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: Monday edition of the program. We hope all of you 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 1: had fantastic weekends wherever you may be across this great country. 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: We are rolling, i believe today, fifty days until the 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: mid term. Buck, we'll get into some of the latest 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: polling numbers, some of the latest odd shifting where are 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: things moving? But Joe Biden hadn't done an actual interview 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: in over two hundred days, I believe was the number. 10 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: An unprecedented amount of days to not sit down and 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: do a one on one interview sixty minutes. As many 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: of you out there who watch NFL football knows, makes 13 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: a ton of money and viewership off their show coming 14 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: on immediately after the NFL ends on CBS many different weekends, 15 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: and that was the case with the debut episode of 16 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: their new season, and it featured a long form interview 17 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: with President Joe Biden and Buck. As is often the case, 18 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: the more Biden talks, the worse it goes for him. 19 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: His approval ratings went up when he got COVID and 20 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: when he spent a month on vacation during the summer. 21 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: Since he's come back and started talking, his numbers haven't 22 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: gone down, and now the left wing of his own 23 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: party is angry at him. There were a lot of 24 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: news related comments from Biden because he doesn't talk to 25 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: the media that much, but let's start with this one. 26 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: He said, the COVID pandemic is over. This was last 27 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: night on sixty Minutes. I want you to listen this 28 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: president first Detroit auto show in three years. Yeah, is 29 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: the pandemic over? The pandemic is over. We still have 30 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: a problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: work on it, but the pandemic is over. If you notice, 32 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: no one's wearing masks. Everybody's being pretty good shape. He 33 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: was wearing masks outside alone two years, two weeks ago, Clay, 34 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: for two years, they've been wearing masks. Two weeks ago, 35 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: he was wearing a mask. I saw people this morning 36 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: on the street in New York City, and I saw 37 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: more than just that. We'll talk about that later, wearing masks. 38 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: What changed between now and then, Oh, there's an election come, 39 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: They're really gonna do this right now, They're gonna do 40 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: the whole We're gonna tell everybody everything's great and hope 41 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: that they're just foolish enough to believe the propaganda. Clay. 42 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: They fired eight hundred and fifty teachers last week in 43 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: New York City where I am right now. Who could 44 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: justify this? They fired them for not getting the vaccine everybody. 45 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: They fired almost a thousand employees of the City of 46 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: New York last week because they won't get a shot. 47 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: And it's up to nearly two thousand I think teachers 48 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: in total total, but they just did eight fifty four. 49 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's way a fire people a year ago 50 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: was stupid and unfair. Find people now is just monstrous 51 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: and vindictive. I mean, this is completely insane. Why isn't 52 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden asked about that? Where is Mayor Eric Adams, 53 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: who is a total catastrophe, by the way, a buffoon, 54 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: an imbecile. Where is he on this issue? It's a 55 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: great question. And what I found most interesting about Biden's 56 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: comment there, for anyone who has a functional brain and 57 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: looked at the data, COVID was over by the summer 58 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, and I know a lot of you 59 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: out there feel the same way that you knew what 60 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the dangers were that you knew what you might need 61 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: to do depending on your individual health concerns. But basically 62 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: the data has continued to reflect if you're under the 63 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: age of fifty, you were never in any sort of 64 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: danger from COVID at all. You were far more likely, 65 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 1: for instance, under fifty, to die driving to and from 66 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: your office than you were to die with COVID. And 67 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: certainly if you're a kid, the fact that we required 68 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: kids to wear masks at all. But Buck, what I 69 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: found most interesting about this was not Joe Biden saying 70 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: it because I agree with you. I think it's a 71 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: ploy to try to look like he's accomplished something as 72 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: we get ready for the mid terms. Because remember the 73 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: premise upon which Biden ran was twofold, I'll solve COVID, 74 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: I'll end COVID, and that whatever has not happened, really 75 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: And he also said I'll restore normalcy and decency to 76 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: the White House. That certainly hasn't happened either. But on 77 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: the COVID front, Buck, there's about thirty percent, twenty five 78 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: percent maybe of the American public, and they are wildly 79 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: overrepresented on social media and certainly way overrepresented in the 80 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: Blue Check brigade on Twitter that are furious at Joe 81 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: Biden for saying the COVID pandemic is over. I mean, 82 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: it was just trending last night. Number one trend was 83 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: COVID is not over, and they were ripping Joe Biden 84 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: for saying this. You know what this has really shown us. 85 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: They're so many different aspects of the of the COVID fauciite, 86 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: locked down or panic mentality. But one part of this 87 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: that I think now you can see very clearly is 88 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: that the same people who are addicted to victimization COVID 89 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: is victimizing them. Oh my gosh, COVID. I'm always so scared. 90 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: I have long COVID. I need four masks. I'm immunocompromise. 91 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: Have you ever, by the way, I actually have an 92 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: immune disorder, which is celiac disease. I've never heard so 93 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: many people in my life running around dudo, Oh, I 94 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: need everyone to wear a mask because I'm immunocompromise. Like, 95 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: you're twenty five years old, and you've never said this 96 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: to anybody before, and you're a Blue Check and now 97 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: you're a Oh, now you're suspiciously somebody who's what the vulnerable. 98 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: The vulnerable people, you know, always vulnerable, people who were old, 99 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: people were overweight, people with severe health issues who are 100 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: old and overweight. Everybody else is pretty much fine, okay. 101 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: And the fact that we're still walking around listening to 102 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: people wide about this, it's what you're really seeing. The 103 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: same people who think it's it's a horrible catastrophe if 104 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: everyone doesn't announce their pronouns, you know, are the people 105 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 1: who are now saying, oh, the pandemic, I'm so scared 106 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: of it all the time. Perpetual victimhood. They're addicted to it, 107 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: and COVID is an opportunity to play the victim for 108 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: them forever, by the way, forever. Yeah. I think one 109 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 1: of the primary impacts of social media is it fetishized victimhood. Buck, 110 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember, and you're old enough to remember, 111 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: even though you're still a very young man. Am I 112 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: old enough to remember? Clay? You gotta be careful. Would 113 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: you use that construct? I don't know. When we were kids. 114 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: I'm betting you were taught the same thing that I was. 115 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: You never wanted to be a victim. If someone bullied you, 116 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: you stood up to the bully. And there's that great 117 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: scene if you want to sort of use it as 118 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: an epitomization of this Christmas story. You know, when Ralphie 119 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: confronts the bully and after getting picked on, picked on, 120 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: picked on, finally he just turns on the bully and 121 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: beats him up. I mean, that's one of the iconic 122 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: scenes in a marriage. I thought you were gonna go 123 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: with Marty McFly's dad when he knocks out the bully 124 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: at prom. It's like, one of the most inspiring moments 125 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: of my young life was seeing that guy get laid 126 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: out on the car. What would happen now is you 127 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: would go to your teacher. You would say, oh, somebody's 128 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: being really mean to you. You would go home, your 129 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: mom would sit you down on the couch. They would 130 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: take a TikTok video. They would put the TikTok video 131 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: up on social media. It would go viral, and for 132 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: being a victim, you would be fetishized that there would 133 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: be a great amount of outpouring of emotional support because 134 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,119 Speaker 1: of people being mean to you. And look, I wish 135 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: bullying didn't exist. I wish there weren't bad things in 136 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 1: the world, But we have taught an entire generation of kids, 137 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: and they certainly are coming of age on social media 138 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: that being a victim is a point of pride. That 139 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: if someone is mean to you and give you posial 140 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: media and talk about its powerful. This is why they 141 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: This is why the COVID lunatics love this. It's oh, 142 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: you have to mask, you have to do this because 143 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: I said so, because I'm at risk. Yeah, and and 144 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: and buck. I mean, I keep coming back to stories 145 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: like Jesse Smallett and the BYU volleyball the duke volleyball 146 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: player at BYU, because this is the natural outgrowth of that. 147 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: People who aren't even victims now are so in love 148 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: with the idea of being a victim that they either 149 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: make it up whole cloth like Jesse Smallett did, or 150 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: they maybe best case scenario, if you're being really charitable 151 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: to this duke volleyball player, she thought she heard racial 152 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,479 Speaker 1: slurs when they weren't actually there because she's so conditioned 153 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: to believe that she's a victim. And then she goes 154 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: on social media and everybody praises her. And so this 155 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: to me, like the COVID, it's a good connection by you, 156 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: This COVID fearmongering, the fear porn as I've caused called 157 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: it for a couple of years. These people are not 158 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: going to let go. And I really wonder how does 159 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: the Biden administration, even if it's just for politics that 160 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: he says COVID is over, how do they manage to 161 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: convince the thirty percent or forty percent of the Democrat 162 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: base that will not give this up? How do they 163 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: convince them to go back to normal? I just know 164 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: what how they do. Obviously, today we're going to talk 165 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: about the Martha's Vineyard migrant debacle and the following of that, 166 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: and inflation and Biden's inflation, and so we got Charlie 167 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 1: Gasparino from Fox joining to talk about that. I mean, 168 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: we're going to tackle all these issues, a border, economy, 169 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 1: everything else. But why do we keep hammering COVID. We 170 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: keep telling everybody about this because we have enough people 171 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: listening in states that are up for grabs that if 172 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: this audience mobilizes on that issue at the polling place 173 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: when they're actually voting, there can be some accountability. But 174 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: also we can stop this. The Biden administration still wants 175 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: to bring back the federal mask mandate as a tool 176 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: they can turn on and turn off for people who 177 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: think this is all done to your point about the 178 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: thirty or forty percent of hysteric meltdown, Lib Democrat basic 179 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: cost a lot to wing out there. By the way, 180 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: it's what's amazing to me too, is that they're actually 181 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: not seeing your citizens. Senior citizens have a perspective on life. 182 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: They understand. They're the ones that I see freaking out 183 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: are aged twenty five to forty five. Particularly, you know, 184 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: those are which have zero risk, zero risk. So they 185 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: just love this. They love the attention and love the 186 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: power if you have to do this because I say so, 187 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: they're going to try to downplay this place. Why Biden 188 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: just said, oh, the pandemic's over, because first of all, 189 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: promises made, promises kept with the pandemic is going to 190 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: be something they try to say. By the way, do 191 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: you think this was planned or do you think he 192 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: just stepped all over himself and said this. I think 193 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: it's I think biden Ology. The analysis of Biden is 194 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: made effectively impossible to do with precision because it's tough 195 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 1: to know whether it's mostly he's stupid, which he is, 196 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: mostly nasty, which he is mostly lying, or it's a 197 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: function of his age in dementia. It's you can never 198 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: really tell which of those is the primary factor. I think. 199 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: So to your point about what he's saying in this speech, 200 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I mean, there's plenty of reasons 201 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: why Joe Biden says crazy stuff that's untrue, that goes 202 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 1: off the rails. And I think obviously a lot of 203 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 1: people listening would say, well, buckets, I agree, it's all 204 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: of those things. I'm just saying to put it on one. 205 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: You know, is it because he's a little bit out 206 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: of it today, is he sundowning? Or is it because 207 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: he's in a foul mood because he's a nasty guy. 208 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: But Clay, they're going to just bring it back to 209 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: why we have to remind everybody about they just fired 210 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 1: eight hundred and fift people from New York last week. 211 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: Some of them not a lot, but some of them 212 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: probably listen to this show. Not a lot of teachers 213 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: in the New York City public schools system listeners, but some. 214 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: You know, they just fired people, and they're gonna bring 215 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: some of this stuff back if they can get away 216 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: with it. They're gonna dial it up a little bit 217 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: in the winter. As soon as the midterms are over, 218 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: they will. And we know because we've been telling you 219 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: for a couple of years now. The numbers will likely 220 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: go up for COVID like they do for cold and 221 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: flu and have for generations in winter. So when everybody 222 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: goes inside and it's cold outside and you're not spending 223 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: as much time outdoors. Remember where they told everybody to 224 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: go indoors and not go outside, which is one of 225 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: the most ridiculous I just kind of just jumping one thing. 226 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: They actually made COVID worse. I want everyone to be 227 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: very clear on this. More people got COVID early who 228 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: were at risk because they made up these stupid ideas 229 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: that people thought protected them. Don't go outside, stay six 230 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: feet away. Lets every single person go into one house 231 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: and every single person don't get sunshine, get fatter, have 232 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: your immune system run down, become depressed. Oh but social 233 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: distancing and cloth masks will protect you. Not true. Yes, 234 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: all of it was a lie.

I I I don't. I mean, 257 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: I just say, like, I'm I understand it's very important 258 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: to a lot of people. I just don't care at all, 259 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: so it's just not my thing. I don't know this woman. 260 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm not British, so I don't understand. I've done TV 261 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: networks though. See this will bring it up pretty much 262 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: wall the wall with it, right, because that's getting ratings, 263 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: so Americans are clearly watched. So I just look to 264 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: each his own. You know, some people like watching shuffleboard 265 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: and the Olympics or is that shuffleboard or no, I'm 266 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: what's the what's the thing where they pushed the nut? Shuffleboard? 267 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about? Oh but this Winter 268 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: Olympics you're talking about? Yeah, you know the thing where 269 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: they eat like curling, Sorry, not shuffleboard curling. Some people 270 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: like to watch curling. I don't. That's fine. People can 271 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: watch their own things. I'm more focused on America and 272 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: what's going on here, and with that in mind, our president, Yes, 273 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: it's the facts of the mon is actually at the 274 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: funeral to tie it in. Yeah, well, I mean I 275 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: would expect I would expect that. Actually, do you do 276 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: you remember? Um? Not to put an ominous undertone of this. 277 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: But remember the start of the fantastic World War One 278 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: book The Guns of August by Barbara Tuckman is about book. 279 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: You haven't read The Guns of August, no, you World 280 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: War One, absolute classic. Um, it's really about just the 281 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: beginning and the lead up to it, The Guns of August. 282 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: You guys know this one too. But the whole thing 283 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: is about a It's about a funeral of a royal 284 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: and all the European royals who showed up. And this 285 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: is in the months before the breakout of World War One, 286 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: and it's essentially meant to show you, like that whole 287 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: world of monarchy and is dissolving effectively, and it dissolves 288 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: in the First World War and it changes the modern 289 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: world globally as a result. Um, it's a it's a 290 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: really compelling because it also explains to you how so 291 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: many of these royal families are people forget the Germans 292 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: married into the families. That's one of the things with 293 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: the Game of Thrones that's so accurate is the bloodlines 294 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: are definitely the Hanoverian dynasty or whatever Mary I think 295 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: it's called marries into the what the windsor which is 296 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: not even really the anyway, so anyway, but I wasn't 297 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: even going to talk about the feudal today, you know, 298 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: condolences to the British people, and will be just like 299 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: what it's gonna be like when Dolly Parton dies in America. Oh, 300 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: there'll be there'll be long lines for Dolly Parton. God 301 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: bless her. She's got many decades left in her though. 302 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: Um so I would want to talk about Joe Biden. 303 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: I don't even know if I have time for this, 304 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: but actually, you know what we do here, mister president. 305 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: As you know, less, your approval rating in the country 306 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: is well below fifty and I wonder why you think 307 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: that is. I think you'd agree that the impact on 308 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: the psyche of the American people as a consequence of 309 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: the pandemic is profound. Think of how that has changed everything. 310 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: People's attitudes about themselves, their families, about the state of 311 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: the nation, about the state of their communities. And so 312 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of uncertainty out there, a great teal 313 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: of uncertainty. Yeah, it's the psyche of people. It's not 314 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: that the Biden administration tour the country apart with a moronic, 315 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: authoritarian and useless vaccine mandate. Not only that his approval 316 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: ratings have tanked since he started when people were even 317 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: more in a time of turmoil. By the way, the 318 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: guns of August nineteen ten, the funeral of King Edward, 319 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: this seventh of England is what I was referring to. 320 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: Just so everybody knows. This may be one of the 321 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: most challenging times for employers. If you're one, you know 322 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: exactly what we're talking about. Managing your team in the 323 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: office or working from home comes with unique challenges, keeping 324 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: up with changing regulations and HR compliance, hiring top talent, 325 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: handling payroll. The list goes on. There's a limit to 326 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: what you can do to keep employees engaged while running 327 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: your business smoothly. Fortunately, there's insparity. They put thirty plus 328 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: years of HR experience to work to help you develop 329 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: a people strategy that supports your business strategy and focuses 330 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: on the health of your organization. What if your HR 331 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: strategy included access to better benefits to help you keep 332 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: the employees you have and attract new ones. What if 333 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: it also offered training for your employees to increase their skills. 334 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: That's why you need insparity. Insparity is ready to take 335 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: your HR to the next level with insparity. Nothing seems 336 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: impossible insparity HR. That makes a difference. Walk back in 337 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: Clay Travis buck Sexton show. You're rolling through all of 338 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: the big stories over the weekend, and one of them, 339 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: not surprisingly, is Joe Biden stepping all over himself in 340 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: a sixty minutes interview. Even with sixty minutes, which probably 341 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: I would say, based on the past sixty minutes reporting 342 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: is quite comfortable with helping to cover up for Joe 343 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: Biden's frailties because they still there's a question in there. 344 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: They talked about the Hunter Biden laptop and they still 345 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: haven't even acknowledged, to my knowledge, Buck, that the Hunter 346 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: Biden laptops one hundred percent accurate. Everybody probably remembers the 347 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: conversation that Donald Trump had with Leslie Stall where he 348 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: was saying, why aren't you guys investigating the laptop? It's 349 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: one hundred percent real, and she said, we can't authenticated. 350 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: You remember that where that was behind the scenes that 351 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: the Trump administration put out And here we are two 352 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: years later, they're now sitting with Joe Biden. They had 353 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: a sort of very flaccid level question, which is probably 354 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: an ironic choice of words given the videos of Hunter 355 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: Biden's laptop, But buck to me, what really kind of 356 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 1: crystallized was the inability for Biden to seem to grasp 357 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: how bad inflation is. The past couple of months, they've 358 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: tried to say, well, inflation is not getting any worse. 359 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: Well for people out there with thirteen and a half 360 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: percent grocery increases, this is pretty significant. Listen to Joe 361 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: Biden try to explain away inflation and actually get called 362 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: to account for it, mister president. As you know, last Tuesday, 363 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: the annual inflation rate came in at eight point three percent. 364 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: The stock market nosedived. People are shocked by their grocery bills. 365 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: What can you do better and faster? Well, first of all, 366 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: let's put this in perspective. Inflation rate month to month 367 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: was just an inch, hardly at all. You're not arguing 368 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: that eight point three is good news, No, it is 369 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 1: good need, but it was a point two or eight 370 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: point two before. I mean, it's not. You may act 371 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: can make us sound like all of a sudden, my god, 372 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: it went to eight point two percent. It's just the 373 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: highest inflation rate, mister president, in forty years. I got that. 374 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: But guess what we are. We're in a position where 375 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: for the last several months it hasn't spiked. So Clay, 376 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: can I just say this is just so tone deaf. 377 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what stands out to me about this. 378 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: It is factually accurate for me to say that this 379 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: is the highest inflation in my lifetime, right so I 380 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: could sit here, Oh you are to say it forty years, 381 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: so I could say it is the highest in my 382 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: entire life the inflation number right now. But imagine Biden, 383 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: if let's say we had twelve percent unemployment, they always 384 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: point to the unemployment number. I would also say to 385 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: everyone that you got to get into the into the 386 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 1: weeds a little bit on CPI and unemployment. They have 387 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: changed the way this stuff is calculated. There's a lot 388 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: of manipulation that has gone on, yes, and that's why, well, 389 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: well they're telling you the inflation rate is the real 390 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: inflation that people are actually feeling in how father dollar goes, 391 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: what they can purchase, you know, what their household budget 392 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: is feeling right now. These are different things. It's worse 393 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: than the actual number tells you. But beyond that, imagine 394 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: if unemployment were twelve percent, and it was last month 395 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: twelve percent, and then this month we got a number 396 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: and is twelve percent, And you know, old man aviators 397 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: came on TV. I was like, urs twelves, greats twelve 398 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: percent again, man, it's not getting worse. How is that 399 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: an argument? Something being really bad and staying bad is 400 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: not the same thing as good. But see here we go. 401 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: I don't know is he so dishonest or so dumb 402 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: that he thinks this is a sound argument to make 403 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: on National TV. I would be persuadable either way. I 404 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: think the challenge with inflation is people get used to 405 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: it being awful, and so the fact that your grocery 406 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 1: bills are up thirteen point five percent, you can feel it. 407 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: The fact that not only is inflation up, but your 408 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: real wage growth is down. So everybody has gotten effectively 409 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: attacks increase from Joe Biden because your monthly income has 410 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: gone down. And remember Buck, if you look at the numbers, 411 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,959 Speaker 1: it's amazing to look at. I believe I'm correct. Our 412 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: staff can tell me if I'm wrong. I believe when 413 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden came into office in January of twenty twenty one, 414 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: inflation was at one point four percent. I think that's 415 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: where it was. And then you watch every single month 416 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: since he came into office as it has continued to 417 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: tick up, and real wage growth has gone down every 418 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: single month as well, meaning you aren't making, on average 419 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: everybody out there more money in your paychecks to make 420 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: up for how much these goods are costing. So it's 421 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: particularly tone deaf to be arguing, yes, we're at a 422 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: forty year high, but it's not getting worse any or 423 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: that is not something that makes your average person out 424 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: there feel like, oh, you know, the fact that eggs 425 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: are up nearly forty percent, I think is the number 426 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: that these things make someone feel better. Biden is tone deaf. 427 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 1: I remember they used to say Bill Clinton memorably said 428 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: I feel your pain. Now. Look, given it was Bill Clinton, 429 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: there's a lot of territory to work through there. But yeah, 430 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: and that phrase is like such an interesting phrase, but 431 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: what it reflected was Clinton had an ability to connect 432 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: with an average person out there and understand, at least 433 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: in public, what they might be going through. Biden feels 434 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: particularly tone deaf when it comes to trying to explain 435 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: away stories like these Buck And maybe it's being in 436 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: office for over forty years. Maybe it's to your point 437 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: that it's deteriorating mental capacity. Maybe it's also being cloistered 438 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: inside the White House. It's hard to know what the 439 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 1: real world is like. And this answer was a really 440 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: bad I tell you. His whole political career, though, is 441 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: based on here. You know, here I am sitting with 442 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: everybody rolled up sleeves. Man. You know, not a joke. 443 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just one of you. This this, you know, 444 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: using the word folks a lot, and you know, blue 445 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: collar Joe from scrant is the whole. It's all crap. 446 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's all basically a big, a big lie. 447 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: The problem though, is that that stuff can always work 448 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: when you're a senator. Oh man, things are I'm just 449 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: one senator. Oh things are rough right now out there. 450 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: He's the president, so it actually falls on him. So 451 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: the I feel your pain thing in this case doesn't 452 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: really work for him very well. By the way, I'm 453 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: not sure it really worked for Bill Clinton that well either, 454 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: But it doesn't really work very well for Joe Biden 455 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: because he's been doing things that have been making that 456 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: pain worse, and he can't pretend that there's some external. Well, 457 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: he might pretend, but everybody can see that the reality 458 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: of this is that his decision may has made everything worse. 459 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: One point four percent in January of twenty twenty one, 460 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: when he came into office. It ticked up to one 461 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: point seven percent in February. Then they spend one point 462 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: nine trillion, turn the money spiggot on, and we're sitting 463 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: right now at eight point three percent. And we'll talk 464 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 1: with Charles Gasparino at the top of the third hour 465 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: about this, because he's an economics guy. The challenge that 466 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: came out of the most recent numbers buck that is, 467 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: I think making so many people nervous and certainly led 468 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: to one of the biggest sell offs we've seen, the 469 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: biggest in the Biden administration so far. On Wall Street. 470 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: This is starting to feel very durable. And you know 471 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: this idea that for a few months things would come 472 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: back down very quickly. We only have to raise rates. 473 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: It looks like we're going to go at least three 474 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: quarters of a basis point. Again here mortgage rates are 475 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: over six percent. I don't know if you saw the 476 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: quotes from FedEx's CEO, but he basically said, hey, we 477 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: are in a recession right now. Anybody out there who's 478 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: arguing otherwise is basically crazy. And that's the Biden administration. 479 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm telling everybody right now that you're gonna see it. 480 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: Mark by words, mark this one down. By late November, 481 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: early December, there's going to be an avalanche of Oh 482 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: my gosh, consumer spending is way down. We're in a 483 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: legit inflict, in a legit recession. Jobs numbers are starting 484 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 1: to look really shaky. And also, slap your masks bask 485 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: back on everybody, because we're going into the COVID cycle. 486 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 1: They're gonna wait till after the They're just trying to 487 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: delay the obvious recognition of their failures until after the election. 488 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: I think that's the whole game here. That's one hundred 489 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: percent they play. They don't want to be an inflo. 490 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: They don't want to acknowledge that recession is here. Before 491 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: the midterms, it didn't. They didn't beat COVID as in 492 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: it's around forever. They were horrible on it. We are 493 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: in a recession. Inflation is long term and continuous, and 494 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: they're actually making it worse.

Welcome back, 522 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck rocking out today on Monday, September nineteenth, 523 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 1: we will talk about the Martha's Vineyard migrants the headline 524 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: on CNN. They were here for forty eight hours and 525 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: they enriched us because the shamelessness of the oh my 526 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: libs of the Vineyard, and it's amazing. They changed our 527 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: lives forever in a day. So we made them leave 528 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: real fast. Um. Anyway, we'll get to that in just 529 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: a moment. But you know this is I On the 530 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: one hand, I'm encouraged when people of the left start 531 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: to speak out about reality. On the other hand, I 532 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: also remember that they pushed the culture and the media 533 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: to the point where now unreality is fashionable and actually 534 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: mandatory in so many ways. You see in the Atlantic 535 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: they're saying, you know, there's really not clear evidence that 536 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: men are stronger and faster than women. I saw that. 537 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that. I mean, they folks, they're they're crazy. 538 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they are zealots of lunacy. And this is 539 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: what is mandatory now on the left. But anyway, Bill 540 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: maher over on his show, and I think at some 541 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: level this is driven by he's frustrated that he's not 542 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: allowed to really be a comedian anymore, at least not 543 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: a not really right. I mean, he can make certain 544 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: jokes and haha, you know Donald Trump, haha, but you 545 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: can't really push boundaries very much. And on the historical 546 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: stuff we were just talking, I was talking about the 547 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: Guns of August and the funeral of King Edward the 548 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: Seventh in nineteen ten. And I'm sure we could go 549 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: through all the assembled monarchs of Europe who were there 550 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: and find that a lot of them were insufficiently voted 551 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: to LGBTQ plus rights, a lot of them were insufficiently 552 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: woken one we're another. But that would be a bizarre exercise, really, Like, 553 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: what's the point of it? Presentism is what Bill Moore calls, 554 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: this phenomenon of judging everything in history by the standards 555 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: of today. How we teach our kids history has become 556 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: a big controversy these days with liberals accusing conservatives of 557 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: wanting to whitewash the past, and sometimes that's true. Sometimes 558 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: they do, but plenty of liberals also want to abuse 559 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: history to control the present, and last month, a scholar 560 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: named James Sweet called hell for calling them out for 561 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: doing just that. He criticized the phenomenon known as presentism, 562 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: which means judging everyone in the past by the standards 563 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 1: of the present. It's the belief that people who lived 564 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: a hundred or five hundred or a thousand years ago 565 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: really should have known better. On the one hand, Clay, 566 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,959 Speaker 1: we could talk about just the way that this is. 567 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: It's absurd and makes no sense because what are the 568 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: outer limits of it? But I think it's really more 569 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: to the point for everyone to know this is just 570 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: about power, and it's actually about controlling the present. It 571 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: is effectively creating narratives meant to destroy so much of 572 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: what our society is built on historically and our understandings 573 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: of how we got to where we are, and replace 574 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: it with something else. If you can destroy the moral 575 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: legitimacy of the men who created the Constitution and the 576 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence, then you can say that Constitution doesn't 577 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: speak for America today. And you can demand that all 578 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: of the foundational elements of American democracy are illegitimate. And 579 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: it's wild to me that Mayor Muriel Bowser, who will 580 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: talk about in a minute, in Washington, DC, she endorsed 581 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 1: the idea of renaming I believe, Washington, DC, and the 582 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: idea of tearing down the Jefferson Memorial as well as 583 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: potentially the Washington Monument over the fact that both of 584 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 1: those Virginians owned slaves in their era. And maybe we 585 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: can grab the part of Bill Maher's monologue which I 586 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: thought was really good. We have created this world in 587 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: America today which is founded through the sixteen nineteen project, 588 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: which New York Times has put all their power behind, 589 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: as if America was the only place that ever had 590 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: slaves and that slavery didn't exist anywhere else in the 591 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: history of the world, when the reality is every single 592 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: person listening to us right now, at some point in 593 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: time had ancestors who wore slaves. That is one hundred 594 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: percent true. Now I'm not saying that they were slaves 595 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: in the United States or in the United States colonies, 596 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: but every single person listening to us right now, if 597 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: you go far enough back, has ancestors who wore slaves 598 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 1: at some point in world history. Because slavery was everywhere, 599 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: every single society practiced it. I mean read the Bible. 600 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: The Bible, as Bill Maher points out, discusses slavery all 601 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: the time. It was commonplace that if your tribe defeated 602 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 1: another tribe, you killed most of the men or made 603 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 1: them slaves and took the women and children into your 604 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 1: own tribe. That existed everywhere, that existed in Native American culture, 605 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: where everybody wants to pretend was like this Bucolic without 606 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: flaw country here at Landmass before Europeans arrived. The term slave, 607 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: we believe comes from Eastern Europe and Slavs because of 608 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: the Muslim slave trade, which involved a lot of white 609 00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: Christian Europeans enslaved over period of centuries, which is often 610 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: not talked about today. The Muslim the Barbary coursers of 611 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: North Africa went as far as Ireland and actually Iceland, 612 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: believe it or not, on slave raiding missions, and they 613 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: took people. They took the women for harems and the 614 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 1: men not to keep them for long periods of time. 615 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: It was to have them run or the ships of 616 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: galleys where they would die essentially at the or they'd 617 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: put them in minds where the conditions were so horrific 618 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 1: that they would die, and they just kept a steady 619 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 1: stream of people to come in and die in North Africa, 620 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: a few million people over a few centuries. No one 621 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: talks in even in the sixteen nineteen project, about the 622 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: fact that the African slaves were being initially enslaved by 623 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: other Africans who were then taking the people that they 624 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 1: had enslaved and selling them into the Transatlantic slave trade. 625 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 1: But it's as if those people don't exist. Maybe we'll 626 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,359 Speaker 1: grab that short period because you're exactly right. But Bill 627 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: Maher basically talks about that in his monologue The Legacy 628 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 1: of Slavery. We've descended it to the point where the 629 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: United States, according to left wingers, is the only place 630 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,959 Speaker 1: that has ever had slavery, and that that original sin 631 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: is such a stain upon this society that there is 632 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: no legitimacy in rooted anywhere in our historical past. It's 633 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: a lie, but it's a powerful lie, and it's one 634 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: that needs to be refuted on the historical record. But 635 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:33,600 Speaker 1: when we come back, you're going to give us the 636 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: latest on Martha's vineyard, all those brilliant left wingers, they 637 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: weren't that happy. Although they're happy, they're just lying about 638 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: why they're happy. We'll talk about it.
