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

Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in The Clay Travis and

Speaker 1: eight two two two eight two. On the phone lines.

5

Speaker 1: You want to chat with us about anything, please by

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: all means. Also, I was going through some of our

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck podcast reviews yesterday just for fun, and

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: there are some very very amusing ones, so we appreciate that.

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Please do write us reviews of the podcast. If you

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: listen to Clay and Buck podcast, and Clay also does

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: a post show on Twitter. I do a post show

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: on Rumble, so you can check us out there. Rumbles

13
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: a great platform free speech, which is what hopefully Twitter

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: will be when Elon buys it and then freeze it

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: of all of the woke loons who have ruined that place.

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: But the Left isn't going down without a fight. Here

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: in the final weeks before the election, We've seen so

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: much from them in the way of the January sixth

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: insurrection hearings and finally the polls I think are getting

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: through to them that people recognize this is all distraction

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: at best, it's lunacy. Really but doesn't mean they're not

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: going to keep pushing because there is a segment of

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. I would say the base, maybe it's

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: thirty or forty percent of Democrats who will never be

25
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: satisfied until Trump and everybody who worked for Trump at

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: a senior level isn't handcuffs. That's they've been promised this

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: for years. They gotta get sent to prison. This is

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: or else. The MSNBC watching, you know, unhappy ladies at

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: home and guys, We'll never be satisfied with the situation, Clay,

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: and that is why we have Steve Bannon today sentenced

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: to serve four months in prison because he defied a subpoena.

32
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: This is how they say it. I'll explain that this

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: in a second from the House Committee investigating the January

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: sixth insurrection at the US Capitol. This is four months now.

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: He's appealing and he's out until the appeal is heard.

36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 1: So it's not like Steve is currently sitting in a

37
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: cell for four months. Do you know Bannon? By the way,

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: I know Bannon a bit, met him a few times.

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever met Steve Bannon. Looks Steve's

40
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: a he's a showman and he's a fighter. His crime

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: though here super smart, brilliant guy, smart guy. Yeah it was. Look,

42
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: he came into the Trump campaign in twenty sixteen at

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: a critical moment, and he is credited by people in

44
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: the room as saying, even on what they call Billie

45
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Bush Monday, when they released that video, Bannon was like,

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: stay the course, where one gonna win. He was that guy.

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: And when you're that guy in the history books, that

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: goes a long way. But because he's that guy, the

49
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: psycho libs hate his guts, I mean they hate his guts.

50
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: He wasn't a moderating influence on Trump in the White House.

51
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: He wasn't somebody who still gets invited to the cocktail

52
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: parties or whatever. No, no no, there's only a few of those.

53
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: Bannon was the basis representative in the Trump administration in

54
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: the early days in that White House. Now, this is

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: a crime, and I mean it's technically it is. You know,

56
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: as a matter of statute, Congress can do this. This

57
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: is a crime that hasn't been charged in forty years.

58
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: The person who has charged forty years ago, I think

59
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: was acquitted of contemptive Remember, people are getting this confused too.

60
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: This isn't lying under oath. This isn't some of these

61
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: other process crimes that they've been using against Trump people.

62
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: This is Congress says you have to show up and

63
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: talk about this thing. And Bannon's like, now, I'm not

64
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: going to show up. It's Congress. It's purely through Congress.

65
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: And his defense was, look, this is all under executive privilege.

66
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: My conversations with the President of the United States, he

67
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: has assorted executive privilege. The system says that you can't

68
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: just have be testified about everything. I told the President.

69
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: They want to send him in prison for four months anyway, Now, Clay,

70
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: we know brand wise than everything else. Here we are

71
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: sitting talking about Steve Bannon, and he is a showman

72
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: and he's not shy about liking attention. But I stand

73
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: with Bannon on this one. He's part of our team,

74
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: he's part of our fight, and if they can, they'll

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: send him away for four months because they're lunatics. I

76
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: agree with the principle of the stand because he could

77
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: have shown up, I believe, legally immediately taken the fifth

78
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: and basically refuse to answer any question of the Congressional

79
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: Committee and had the same default perspective. With all that

80
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: in mind, I think this is the best thing that

81
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: could happen to Steve Bannon, and I think he did

82
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: it as a method to show how radical and overreaching

83
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: Democrats actually are. Because Buck, this is one thing that

84
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: I think we had carry Lake on yesterday and she

85
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: was great with us, But she's been great on this.

86
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: We got to have more people willing to fire back

87
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: about Democrat excesses when it comes to arguing over the

88
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: threats to democracy. What's a bigger threat to democracy? Buck?

89
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: The sitting president having his chosen attorney general raid the

90
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: home of a former president, the January sixth Committee two

91
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: years after January sixth being willing to put people in

92
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: prison because they won't talk to them. The fact that

93
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: there are still January sixth political prisoners in solitary confinement

94
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: sitting in Washington, DC who have yet to face charges

95
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: and have been now in prison for approaching two years.

96
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: The fact that we've got raids going on right now

97
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: from our FBI grabbing up people who had the audacity

98
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: to protest outside of abortion clinics, while they haven't managed

99
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: to arrest anyone for fire bombing right to life centers,

100
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: if you really truly care about threats to democracy, all

101
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: of what I just laid out is far more radical

102
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: and far more dangerous to our country than what happened

103
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: on January sixth. And I stand with Steve Bannon for

104
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: his decisions here, but I also think Buck this is

105
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: a I think he and his calculus is saying, okay,

106
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: if they're going to send me to prison for four months.

107
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart went away to prison for I think we

108
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: looked it up five votes for insider trading and came

109
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: right back out of prison. It was like the best

110
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: it was an insider trade man. Actually some interesting backstory

111
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: to this because I talked to Rudy Giuliani about this

112
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: from when he was back in the prosecutorial side before

113
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: he was mayor. He knew Comy Coomy as in James

114
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: Comey of Russia collusion. Was the US attorney who pushed

115
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: the prosecution of Martha Stewart. And it wasn't about insider trading.

116
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: It was about her lying about a phone call to

117
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: FBI investigators. Her bro no just but it's in, but

118
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: it was related to an insider trading investigation. Her broker

119
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: called her and said, I think we should dump this stock,

120
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: and there was a broader insider trading investigation broker is

121
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: allowed to call her and say, I think we should

122
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: dump the stock. She though said basically like either we

123
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: didn't talk about it or he didn't call me. I forget,

124
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: But it was about the lying about the phone call,

125
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: not the action insider trading, and James Coomy decided to

126
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: make an example of her. Why I just bring this

127
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,119
Speaker 1: up because Comey had aspirations to be a big national

128
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: political figure. By the way, if he wasn't a lanky,

129
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: unself conscious weirdo, I think he'd run for president. Like

130
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: he's one of those delusional narcissists who thinks people like

131
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: him because he's just been sliming his way through the

132
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: bureaucracy his whole life. But that was who he And

133
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: he's a lawyer, but he's not an FBI guy. He's

134
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: a lawyer. People always forget this. So Martha Stewart came

135
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: right out went back into a television show. I think

136
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: she and Snoop Dogg have all these products that they

137
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: do together. Now. I don't know if Snoop Dogg has

138
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: ever actually served anytime in prison, but if I remember correctly.

139
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: I think snoop doc was charged with murder back in

140
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: the day. Bigger picture, Steve Bannon, I believe, recognizes that

141
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: he can be the poster child for Democrat overreach here.

142
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: And if the potential fallout is he has to go

143
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: to prison for a couple of months to prove how

144
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: much they are overreaching, it's a choice that he's willing

145
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: to make. Brandon, he'll stand on principle on this one.

146
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, Bannon is right here. I mean

147
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: that's the other part of this too. It's not like

148
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: you and I like Steve and what he stands for,

149
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: so we're just going to defend him. He's right on

150
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: the merits. I mean, this is he could whether they're

151
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: gonna make him show Congress is gonna make him show up.

152
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: He just pleads the fifth. What's the point of this

153
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: holding him in contempt? Eric Holder was held in contempt

154
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,199
Speaker 1: and laughed at it. I mean the notion that anyone's

155
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna lock up Eric Holder when he was the Attorney gent,

156
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: when he was Attorney General and er Obama people thought

157
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: that was a joke. Same exact lawed issue, same exact

158
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: same exact power could be used here. But Clay, this

159
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: is this goes to the auto issue, which is that

160
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: they use the people who are constantly whining about how

161
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: our democracy is under threat. They are the greatest threat

162
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: to our democracy. Yes, they used the law as a

163
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: weapon of politics. As a matter of course, this is

164
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: standard operating procedure for them. Now sure they're doing this

165
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: is Steve Bannon, who's you know, a famous millionaire with

166
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: you know, lots of followers, and so people are gonna say, well,

167
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. You see, they just they sent away

168
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: this former UCLA student. It's getting almost four years and

169
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: he's served it in federal prison. I mean, he's going away.

170
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: This guy, Christian Sikor, who was one of the people

171
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: who walked into the US capital, but he sat in

172
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's chair. Now what I think is so important

173
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: for him to know here, No one believes that Christian

174
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: Sacre did anything violent, didn't attack cops, didn't and threaten anyone.

175
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: He walked in the Capitol as part of a mob

176
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's chair, and his life is basically over now.

177
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's branded a insurrectionist for all time.

178
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: So he's going to have to probably move out to like,

179
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, rural part of a red state and go

180
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: off the grid just to have some peace and quiet.

181
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: He's going to serve almost four years in federal prison. Clay, Yeah,

182
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's crazy. And I hope when Republicans take

183
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: back control of the House and Senate they're going to

184
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: have an investigation into the January sixth investigations and prosecutions.

185
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: I really do hope that. I would also point out

186
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: that Democrats are very poor at analyzing the larger precedent

187
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: that they are setting by their actions. So they're going

188
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: to be a lot of Republicans suddenly who have the

189
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: power of the gavel, who have the power of subpoena

190
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: in both I believe the Senate and certainly the House.

191
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: And Buck, what are they going to do when some

192
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: of these Democrats that they want to haul in front

193
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: of them and put under oath and ask questions refuse

194
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: to appear. What are right now? We have seen Democrats

195
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: have set the precedent that if you don't show up

196
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: to testify in front of a Congressional committee, you can

197
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: go to jail for it. I'm curious, Buck, how many

198
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: witnesses who are called that might be left leaning or

199
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to suddenly face similar consequences. Now. The reality, unfortunately,

200
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: is it's not just that Democrats are using the law

201
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: to their best devices. It's that and I believe correct

202
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Steve Bannon was in front of

203
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: a DC jury, right, You are able to get Republicans

204
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: in front of a jury that votes ninety five percent

205
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: or ninety percent Democrat and basically hammered them for their

206
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: politics and get convictions in a way that Republicans do

207
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: not have the same jury pool to be able to

208
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: rely on for any charges that they may bring. As

209
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: we just saw in a lot of the Steel Dossier,

210
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: Durham related prosecutions. The jury matters. That's why there's always

211
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: buck for lawyers. There's always a rush to choose the forum.

212
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's a term for it, forum shopping, where

213
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: you file a case oftentimes can dictate who has a

214
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: strategic advantage. And Democrats have that strategic advantage, right because

215
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: the location of the federal government is in DC, and

216
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: therefore it's going to end up in the DC court

217
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: system or even the d DC Federal Court so or

218
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: a court of appeals. So you know what, what we

219
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: have here Clay is. Yet the district of Columbia is

220
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: a deep state stronghold. As we all know, they can

221
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: always count on it. And so that's why, I mean,

222
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: look at just the last six. So they're sending away

223
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: this UCLA kid. And though there's so many January sixth defendants,

224
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna say it, not enough prominent people

225
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: on the right, including those in elected office, speak out

226
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: about what's gone on with these j six defendants. Sure,

227
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: some of them broke the law and they should face consequences.

228
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: They shouldn't face unreasonable consequences, and they should be imprisoned

229
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: for months and months without trial as part of a

230
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: gulag detention system that they're only doing against Jay six people.

231
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: But also now with Steve benn In with the Marlago raid,

232
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: look at all of the law there that they wage

233
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: against our side. What is the equivalent, Like I would

234
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: actually almost want one of these MSNBC or CNN contributors

235
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: to couple what is the equivalent on the right? Exactly

236
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: where are we prosecuting some I mean Democrat politicians only

237
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: get prosecuted when they're caught with like three hookers, a

238
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: bag of coke and one hundred thousand dollars in cash

239
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: that they've stashed from a bribe in their freezer somewhere

240
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: like that's what Democrats get prosecuted for our side, it's

241
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: all the emoluments clause. I think that you will see,

242
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: and we donated on this show. We've had the political

243
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: prisoner discussion in a big way. I donated. I think

244
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: it was almost ten thousand dollars to that those political

245
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,479
Speaker 1: prisoners of January six to be able to get better attorneys.

246
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: I think after the midterms, Buck, you will see a

247
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: lot of Republicans in the House and the Senate who

248
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: aren't afraid to address that right now. I think they

249
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: made the political calculation. I agree with you, I wish

250
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: they'd been more aggressive, but I think a lot of

251
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: them made the political calculation that with everything going on,

252
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: they don't want to fight the battle of January sixth

253
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: with Democrats. Once this midterm is over, I think you'll

254
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: see a pivot and there will start to be a

255
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: lot of people asking about the treatment of these political prisons.

256
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think people could have made more of

257
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: a due procedent argument. I think former President Trump, I

258
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: think former President Trump could be more vocal about the

259
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: due process rights of people that are being mistreated on

260
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: that day. I'm just gonna say it. I think there

261
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: are a number of people who could speak out on

262
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: this one. We've done it on this show. I would

263
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: agree with you. And we're gonna have Julie Kelly, who

264
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: has spoken out eloquently on this probably more than any

265
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: person in the media period. She's gonna be on with

266
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: us in this next hour to close out the Friday

267
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: edition of the show and talk about that issue and more.

268
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: But we want to tell you how you spend your

269
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: money can make a big difference. You guys know this,

270
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: Just like who you choose to vote for, a lot

271
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: of companies out there make contributions to candidates or causes

272
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: Verizon at and T T Mobile. Do you know that

273
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: they are giving money to causes you probably don't support.

274
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: Don't give your money to woke wireless companies. Why not

275
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: choose a company that agrees with you, that supports this

276
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: program Pure Talk. They believe in family values. They also

277
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: believe in giving you great service at a low cost,

278
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: like unlimited Talk text plenty of data for just thirty

279
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: bucks a month. The average family can say a thousand

280
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: dollars a year. That's what pure Talk does. Here's what

281
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: we love about pure Talk, a company that we are

282
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: customers of network same as those companies sews the coverage.

283
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: You get to keep your phone, but your bills lower

284
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: and you get thirty days risk free. When you switch

285
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: show Corporate America, you're done funding their leftist politics. Dial

286
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: pound two fifty and say Clay and Buck to say

287
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: fifty percent off your first month again pound two five zero,

288
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: say Clay and Buck make the switch to Pure Talk today.

289
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: That's pound two five zero. Welcome back, Eden, Clay, Travis

290
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton show rolling through the Friday edition of the program.

291
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: We've been talking about the red wave, potentially red tsunami

292
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: that is coming. We haven't updated Hunter Biden in a

293
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: little while. I still think Hunter Biden's going to get

294
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: charged as part of the way that they force Joe

295
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: Biden out of the White House. But in case you

296
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: were wondering, Buck, doctor doctor Jill Biden has weighed in

297
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: on Hunter. She says everybody in their brother has investigated Hunter.

298
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: They keep at it and edit and edit. I know

299
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: Hunter is innocent. I love my son and I will

300
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: keep looking forward. Do you buy doctor Jill Biden. Do

301
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: you believe that she really thinks Hunter is innocent because

302
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden I don't think has even been this strident

303
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: in saying that Hunter Biden is innocent of all wrong doings.

304
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: But I think it's pretty pretty telling that Jill feels compelled.

305
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: What are we sitting at seventeen or eighteen days out

306
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: from the mid terms that she's deciding to weigh in

307
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: on Hunter Biden and his guilt or innocence. I still

308
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: think that, you know, to our point about the weaponization

309
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: of the law enforcement apparatus, I just think that they

310
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: do this stuff Clay because they keep getting away with it,

311
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: and that includes breaking the law man they You know,

312
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: this is why my thesis along. I know the politics

313
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: have shifted. I know you think it really all goes together.

314
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: Is Biden running again? That very much relates to whether

315
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: or not Hunter gets prosecuted one way or the other.

316
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: So we shall see, my friend, I think that he

317
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: will get prosecuted. As for people out there, remember, I

318
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: think they're going to try to come after Trump as

319
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: well and use Hunter his cover. In the meantime, our guy,

320
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: Mike Glendel, you want to talk about prosecuted. He was

321
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: in the parking a lot of Hardy's when the government

322
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: came and seized his cell phone. That is how much

323
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: they are doing to him right now when it comes

324
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: to prosecuting him for his political beliefs. But he's still

325
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: running his company like a true American patriot, and he

326
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: has incredible offers for you right now. He has got

Speaker 1: eight hundred seven nine two thirty two sixty nine, Welcome

338
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: back into Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We've been

339
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: telling you about some critically important races, including in some

340
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: places that you may not expect it to be possible

341
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: for a Republican to be in such good shape. But

342
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: up right now in the polls, Tim Michael's the governor

343
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: of candidate rather pardon me, candidate for the governor of Wisconsin.

344
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: He is with us and he's running quite a campaign. Tim,

345
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: thanks for calling in. Okay, thanks for having me on

346
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: the show. It's quite an honor. And yeah, it's it's

347
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: crazy that this race has not gotten more national attention.

348
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: Two things. Number one, it's the most expensive governor's race

349
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: in the entire country. And two, boy, if you'd like

350
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: to tune into a football game, and I know politics

351
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: is much more serious in football. Tune into a football

352
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: game with less than two minutes ago, and the score

353
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: is tied. This is your race. We've been statistically tied.

354
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: It's crazy how close all the polls have been. Like

355
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: from a week ago until three or four weeks ago,

356
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: is like forty seven point three to forty seven point three.

357
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: But finally now in the last week, we're starting to

358
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: see a little bit of separation. Up a point, up

359
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: a point and a half. One point one poll has

360
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: us up three points, so we're headed in the right direction.

361
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: It's a crazy expensive race. We're going to take out

362
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: an incumbent Democratic governor and it's going to be a

363
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: big win for the people of Wisconsin. We appreciate you

364
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: coming on, and certainly alongside of Ron Johnson, we are

365
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: continuing to fight as hard as we can to make

366
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: sure people in Wisconsin make a choice to return some

367
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: sanity to their state. What are the number one or

368
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: two issues that you are hearing in particular from voters

369
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: that you are seeing that the incumbent governor there has

370
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: failed on that they want to switch and allow you

371
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: to be in charge. Great, great question, and all over

372
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: this state, from you know, the Superior Wisconsin, which is

373
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: up by Lake Superior of course, down to Kenosha, over

374
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: to Lacrosse by the Mississippi River, everywhere I go. The

375
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: number one issue by far as inflation. People are. People

376
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: are so concerned. We all know across America, price of

377
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: groceries is up, price that the pump is up. People

378
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: are very concerned. It's not a lot that a governor

379
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: can do. Right. We all get paid in US dollars

380
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: and all spend US dollars, and you know, the federal

381
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: policy got us into this mess of inflating the currency,

382
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: thus resulting in inflation. But I'm going to do massive

383
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: tax reform here in the state of Wisconsin. We're going

384
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: to put more money in people's pockets. Right on the heels.

385
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: Right on the heels of the economic issue is crime,

386
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: and people are very concerned about crime all across Wisconsin,

387
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: from the inner city of Milwaukee out into the suburbs

388
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: and end up through northern Wisconsin. We're at a thirty

389
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: year high of crime in Wisconsin. And I believe the

390
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: reason we got here is because of a byproduct of

391
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: the defund the police movement. We got to this crazy

392
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: spot in America where less police is better or cops

393
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: are bad. I don't buy that for a second. We're

394
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: going to flip the switch. We're going to back the

395
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: men and women in law enforcement. We're going to get

396
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: rid of the catch and release das here in Wisconsin.

397
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: And we are going to change the attitude, if you will,

398
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: of the bad guys, because right now, the bad guys

399
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: are emboldened. They think that they're going to get away

400
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: with it. They're not going to serve their terms. What

401
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: do I mean by that? Governor Eberts here in Wisconsin,

402
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: he made a campaign pledge four years ago that he

403
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: was going to cut in half the prison population in Wisconsin,

404
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: and he's well on his way to doing it. He's

405
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: released over a thousand convicted felons on early parole. Some

406
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: of them, you know, I think about three hundred of

407
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: them are convicted murderers, and some of those are cop killers.

408
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: Most shockingly, forty four of them are child rapists released

409
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: early on the streets of Wisconsin today. That's that's the

410
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: attitude of our current governor. That is not what the

411
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: people of Wisconsin want. I'm going to back the blue,

412
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: get rid of the soft das, and we are going

413
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: to get rule of law back in the state of

414
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: Wisconsin once again. And the bad guys are going to

415
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: know they're not gonna get away with it anymore. They're

416
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: gonna know that the governor himself met wore a uniform.

417
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: I'll be in a military uniform for twelve years on

418
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: active duty in the US Army as an Army ranger.

419
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: And We're going to flip the switch on crime here

420
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin and real quick. The third issue that I'm

421
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: hearing everywhere is education. People know that education today is

422
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: not working. And I went to public school in Wisconsin

423
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: about an hour north of Milwaukee, little farm community. I

424
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: went to Little Myra K through twelve and it worked

425
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: for me. But that was over forty years ago, and

426
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: today the numbers in education continue to get worse. The

427
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: state test here in Wisconsin is called the Forward Test.

428
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: The numbers continue to go down, the national test, the

429
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 1: NAPE Test, the education scores continue to go down. And

430
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: our current governor, he spent his entire life, his entire

431
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: career in education. I have a lot of respect for

432
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: school teachers, but he probably should have stayed a teacher

433
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: and not got into administration. He was the head of

434
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: all education in Wisconsin, and now he's ahead of as governor,

435
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: he's ahead of the entire state, and the numbers continue

436
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: to get worse. So I'm gonna do massive tax reform,

437
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: put more money in people's pockets. We are going to

438
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: back the blue get rid of the softy a's. We're

439
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: going to get crime down in neighborhoods and communities, and

440
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: we are going to have better school tools. You're here

441
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. We're gonna empower parents. We're gonna do universal

442
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: school choice and put parents back in charge of their

443
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: children's education, and stop the CRT and get back to

444
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: the ABC's we're speaking to Tim Michaels. He's a candidate

445
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: for governor Wisconsin, and too our folks listening in Wisconsin

446
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: on affiliates like Madison's WIBAAM in WISN in Milwaukee. This

447
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: is an opportunity. You know, we've been talking to Ron

448
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: Johnson is running for Senate. They're looking pretty good so far,

449
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: but we could also get a sane individual, a Republican. Here,

450
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: we're speaking to Tim Michaels in the governor's mansion of Wisconsin,

451
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: and I'm just wondering you said it was. This is

452
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: really interesting. I mean, you led with the statistic about

453
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: the most expensive governor's race in the country. I'm assuming

454
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: a lot of the money that's coming in for your opponent,

455
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: is it special delivery courtesy of New York, California and

456
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: Washington DC. Where's the money coming from? Yeah, you got it.

457
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: It's all. It's all the East coast, West coast money

458
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: that's coming into Wisconsin. They're you know, they're all rallying

459
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: behind the incumbent Democratic governor because they know that this

460
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: seat is threatened and it's going down. So the usual suspects,

461
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: if you will, you know, Steven Spielberg is sending a

462
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: million dollars a week, and you know, the cast of

463
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: West Wing is doing a show and they fundraise a

464
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: million dollars in one hour, and they're trying very hard here.

465
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: It's a crazy, crazy expensive race. When my wife and

466
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: I made our decision to run very early in the year,

467
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: back in February, we were told there'll be about thirty

468
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: five million dollars spent against the Republican Canada, it's now

469
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: up to about eighty five million dollars. So they're pulling

470
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: out all the stops, doing everything they can to hold

471
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: this seat. But the good news is, and we're unfortunately

472
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: we're being out spent on the air two to one

473
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: right now. But the good news is it's not having

474
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: the effect that they want. We are up a little

475
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: bit in the polls, We have the momentum. Now we're

476
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: going to close strong. But it takes everybody in Wisconsin.

477
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 1: It takes everybody rallying together, when we're all rowing together,

478
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: when we're all working together to do the right thing

479
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: to elect a conservative governor who's not a politician, who's

480
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: a businessman, who's an outsider, who's made tough decisions in

481
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: his life, who knows how to make plans, execute plans,

482
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: solve problems. Who's met a payroll as we have at

483
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: our company since for the past sixty two years, and

484
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: who can read a balance sheet and read an income statement.

485
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: That's the kind of leadership that we need in government

486
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: right now. The problem we have in government at the

487
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 1: national level and at state levels is we have all

488
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: these career politicians in there that have never done anything well.

489
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: We need to get back to the way our founding

490
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: fathers intended it to be. People from all walks of life,

491
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: take their real life experience, go to the capital, serve

492
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: a couple of terms, and then leave and let somebody

493
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: else come in. Not have these career politicians that are

494
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: in there for way too long, that are in way

495
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: over their head, like our governor here in Wisconsin, he's

496
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: never even run a lemonade stand. And people are frustrated.

497
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: I challenge people everywhere I go, are you better off

498
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: than you were four years ago? And nobody can say

499
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: they are. With inflation up, with crime, price at the

500
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: pump is up, test scores are down. In schools four

501
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: or one ks are down. People are really frustrated. They're

502
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: ready for change. They see in me a candidate who's

503
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: going to bring that change. I've been a bold leader

504
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: in my whole life. Twelve years on active duty in

505
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: the US. Are any Army as an airborne ranger, twenty

506
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: five years helping grow our company from when my dad

507
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: passed away twenty five years ago, from a few hundred

508
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: employees to over eight thousand a day. That's what people want.

509
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: Bold leadership of a problem solved, to get things done.

510
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not beholden to anyone. I've made a pledge

511
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: and I've stuck to it. Never not taken any money

512
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: from packs or special interest or lobbyists. There's one person

513
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: on the face of the planet that I'll be beholden too,

514
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: and that's my wife, Barbara, my bride of twenty seven years. Jim.

515
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 1: If people want to help out in this final stretch here,

516
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: where should they go? Michael's Forgovernor dot com. That's that's

00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: great day. Bye. The world is a turbulent place, my friends.

522
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: The stock markets react now in just the most up

523
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: and down swings. One thing leads to another, and your

524
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,920
Speaker 1: four oh one K has gotten brutal last year or so.

525
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: If you not yet diversify your retirement accounts with precious

526
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 1: metals like gold and silver, it is definitely time to

527
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: do so. Pricing on those commodities is good right now,

528
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: and they've proven overtime over the long haul to hold

529
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: their value, especially when markets are volnable. I rely on

530
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: the Oxford Gold Group for gold purchases. They're the industry leader,

531

533
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: top of it. When you buy gold, you're buying something

00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: real and tangible that places your retirement and savings account

Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We're closing out the Friday edition of the

541
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: program closing out the week a little bit over an

Speaker 1: I want to encourage you guys go subscribe. You'll get

544
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: a special weekend edition of this program breaking down all

545
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: of the latest on politics. As we sit here eighteen

546
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: days out from the mid term election, with many of

547
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: you already voting, and we have discussed this as a

548
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: potential outcome Buck and a poll just came down very

549
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: first one I have seen showing that Lee Zelden in

550
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: this poll has a one point lead over Kathy Hokel.

551
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: He's winning Independence by nine points. And we have talked

552
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,239
Speaker 1: about Oregon with Christine Drayson, We've talked about you just

553
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: heard us talking about flipping a governor seat in Wisconsin

554
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: with Tim Michaels, who's actually favored to win that election.

555
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: Now in Wisconsin it's going to be very close. All

556
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: of you need to go vote. But you look at

557
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: Michigan where Gretchen Whitmer is on the ropes right now

558
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: from Tutor Dixon, and even in New York, there is

559
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: a possibility that we are going to be able to

560
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: celebrate in eighteen nineteen days here a Republican win in

561
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: New York State. How crazy would that be? Buck starting

562
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: to feel like it could be clay and it would

563
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: be for me, as somebody who saw the generation firsthand

564
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: in New York of the Deblasio administration and then during

565
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: COVID the just worst possible decisions made at every at

566
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: every juncture. For New York to rally and just put

567
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: someone sane in charge, it would be you know, the

568
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: funny thing is, even all the Libs who will scream

569
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: and cry and the rivers of tears will start, it

570
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: will be better for them too. Their state will be

571
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: more prosperous. It will be safer on the streets. Businesses

572
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: will be popping up again instead of closing down. They

573
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: will benefit despite the fact that they will be crying

574
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: about this. But it's gonna it's gonna be very close.

575
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, that is kind of the test case.

576
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: If Zelden can win in New York, the Kamis have

577
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: been crushed by the red wave. I mean that if

578
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: that happens, you know, it's going to be a great night.

579
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: So if you're wondering, Okay, what are they talking about

580
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: on MSNBC As we are seeing this red wave build

581
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: into potentially a red tsunami. What is the counter programming?

582
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: What are they arguing? How? What are they discussing? What

583
00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: is MSNBC sound like? This is Gabrielle Blair. They are

584
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: focusing almost exclusively on abortion, on pregnancy. This was a

585
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: real discussion. Men, you are the problem. Listen to MSNBC.

586
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: The title is both a prescription and an argument. It

587
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: encapsulates the whole idea in two words. Uh, ejaculate responsibly.

588
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: No one has control over where the you know, of

589
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: the release of sperm more than men. They get to

590
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: decide if they're going to release sperm or not. And

591
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: it's sperm that impregnates an egg. Ovulation and having a

592
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: fertile egg is totally involuntary. I cannot control it. It

593
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: happens once a month for me, and I cannot control

594
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: when or where it happens. But but ejaculation is always voluntary.

595
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: You always get the choice. What the he This is real,

596
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: This is MSNBC. But you're getting married. Maybe you needed

597
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: a little biology lesson book as you get ready for

598
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: your wedding. This is real. I could like imagine booking

599
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 1: that in that segment. If you wonder how Republicans are surging.

600
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: That was what MSNBC is talking about. She can't control

601
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: her eggs, Buck, I guess the the egg doesn't consent

602
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: to the sperm, so you gotta keep those super aggressive

603
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: sperm from I mean, but you know what, Wow, you

604
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: didn't even give me a wark. Just some understands. I

605
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: had a warning about this cut. Clay just said this

606
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: one to the team and sprung this one on. No.

607
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even I don't know who on our team

608
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 1: grabbed this. This was on the list of potential audio

609
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: they had. I didn't see that. I saw it and

610
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: I went and read it, and I was like, this

611
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: is even crazier than what I would think is airing

612
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: on MSNBC. What really, if being a Democrat was just

613
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: on a scale of like anxiety disorder and some form

614
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: of mental illness, I mean, you really you have to

615
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: wonder now, like the activists are crazy, right, So there's

616
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: some rank and file people who, yeah, they were Democrats.

617
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: Maybe their parents, they're grandparents were Democrats. So it's almost

618
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: like a sports team affiliation. But if you're in the

619
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: vanguard of the Democrat part, now I think you're a

620
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: crazy person. I actually think there's something wrong with you,

621
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: which is why on this show we talk about sanity

622
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: and insanity a lot, and we want to welcome in.

623
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: I thought Carry Lake did a good job of it

624
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: yesterday because in order to win landslide elections, you have

625
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: to persuade a lot of people who are not necessarily

626
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: members of your team ordinarily to just come over to

627
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: your side. And if you hear that segment on MSNBC,

628
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: how in the world can you think to yourself, I

629
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: want to be on the side of these people. I mean,

630
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: I tweeted this out, Buck, I know you saw it

631
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: earlier too. As his closing argument, Joe Biden is having

632
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: transgender activists, that is, biological men who identify as women

633
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: come into the White House and explain what being a

634
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: woman is like. They have so lost to their minds

635
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: that I actually think every time Joe Biden opens his

636
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: mouth and every time the Democrats try to make an argument, Buck,

637
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 1: he was on the road in Pennsylvania yesterday for John Fetterman.

638
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: Feederman didn't even speak at the rally. Can't think of

639
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: a smart move. But can you think of a time

640
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: when a president came into rally with somebody in a

641
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: state and the guy that he was ostensibly there to

642
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: rally with didn't speak. I've never even heard Could you imagine?

643
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean, could you imagine a woman who you know,

644
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: like has a like decide like puts on a fake

645
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: you know, because a lot of this is like Harry

646
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 1: extensions and stuff too for menda that are gonna be women.

647
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: A woman comes up to you with like a paste

648
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: on beard and she's like, let me tell you what

649
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: it's like to be a man, Like, what would your

650
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: response be? I mean, I think these people are all crazy.

651
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean I think that the whole transagenda has rapidly

652
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: spiraled from when you're an adult you can decide to

653
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: be a different person to now saying things that are

654
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: biologically untrue. You can get Maignant women are like Women

655
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: of the Year are dudes who decided a year ago

656
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: to be a woman. Ali, our producer just texted us

657
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: that that lady's eggs are definitely scrambled, which is pretty

658
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: well done. I just I like, that's crazy talk. I

659
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: mean they are. I always say, don't get on the

660
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: train to crazytown. Democrats are all boarded and they're going

661
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: full speed into crazytown, and that red tsunami is chasing them,

662
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: and it is going to wipe a lot of really

663
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: mean this. This isn't just about politics. The country needs

664
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: the red Wave
