1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Welcome. In Wednesday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Had

2
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: an awesome time speaking to the young Republicans of Hamilton County,

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: that is Chattanooga. Last night visited with our friends Legacy

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 1: Box toured their incredible facility. Maybe talk a little bit

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: more about that later, but just wanted to say off

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: the top thanks to everybody out there who was listening

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: in that area. Had a great time meeting with all

8
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: of you. And there are a lot more of you

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: every single day that are joining team Clay and Buck,

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: team Sanity, Team Republican. You could probably feel it. We

11
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: will talk with Heather McDonald by the way next hour

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: about the latest on the crime situation DC in particular,

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: but what exactly is happening when it comes to violent

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: crime in this country? What is the data show us.

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: Heather McDonald's one of the top experts in the country,

16
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: so we will discuss that. But Buck, this is one

17
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: of those days where it pays off to be me,

18
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: where you start off your morning with a nice Crockett coffee,

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: sitting down in front of the newspaper selection opening it up.

20
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: Usually the New York Times, not exactly renowned for its

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: positive stories relating to the Republican Party.

22
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: Can I just say, drinking Crockett clay is like putting

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: on the leather bib before you get the X ray

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: at the dentist. Like if you're drinking Crockett, the communist

25
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: New York Times doesn't infiltrate you the same way.

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: No doubt. And by the way, I just want I

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: do it so you don't have to. This is me

28
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: taking this time.

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: It lead, not leather, sorry, leather, lead bib led bib.

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: I was thinking, what does the leather do? But I

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: was the leather with Crockett connection. I thought I might

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: be missing something. I do it so most of you

33
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: do not have to.

34
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: But this is a headline in New York Times today,

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at what the headline is in the

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: digital right now, because sometimes it's different than the newspaper headline.

37
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: Digital not a positive headline. Democrats flashing read alert. What

38
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: the voter registration data shows subheading And there's a big

39
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: graphical accompaniment story for this. The party is bleeding support

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: beyond the ballot box. A new analysis shows this is

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: a big article. This is the feature for the New

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: York Times. And listen to this open buck you don't

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: hear it opens like these. And I thought it was

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: interesting because the Sunday New York Times basically wrote an

45
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: entire editorial on behalf of the paper saying, Yeah, Clay

46
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: and Buck were basically write about everything on COVID and

47
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: basically write about everything on crime, and maybe we should

48
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: have been smarter about the way we covered it. That's

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: basically what the New York Times said in their editorial.

50
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: Here's the open. The Democrat Party is hemorrhaging voters long

51
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: before they even go to the polls of the thirty

52
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: states that track voter registration by political party, Democrats lost

53
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: ground to Republicans in every single one between the twenty

54
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: twenty and twenty twenty four elections, often by a lot.

55
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: That four year swing towards Republicans adds up to four

56
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: point five million voters, a deep political whole that could

57
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: take years for Democrats to climb out from. And then Buck,

58
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: there is a graphic showing you Democrats losing ground in

59
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: all thirty states while Republicans are gaining ground. And and again,

60
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: one more paragraph here just to contextualize, so you know

61
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: what Democrats are reading this morning. The stampede away from

62
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party is occurring in battleground states, the bluest

63
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: states and the reddest states too, according to voter registration

64
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: data analyzed by the New York Times. And the data

65
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: comes from a non part is in data factory. So

66
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: this is interesting when you think about buck what is

67
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: going on in the larger country. I feel like I've

68
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: seen it for a while because the Democrat Party, it's

69
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: basically an insult to call someone a Democrat if you're

70
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: a young man. We made jokes about this when I

71
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: uh fraternities. Instead of making jokes about your mom with

72
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: the banners outside of the house this fall, we're saying

73
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: their opponents vote Democrat. The culture has shifted in a

74
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: major way. Yes.

75
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: Now, if you're at the frat house and some guy

76
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: swings and misses, you say, you swing that withfleball bat

77
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: like Democrat.

78
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: It's not good.

79
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: It's not good. Yeah. And this whole article to look

80
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: the data in the I'm gonna tell you this right now.

81
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: This article is a joy. It is a joy to read.

82
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 2: I read it more than once. That's how much. And

83
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: this is a New York Times, a big piece from

84
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: the New York Times. This is injected straight into my veins,

85
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 2: take this data and put it right into the heart

86
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: of the American populace. This is great stuff. Some of

87
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: the things I pulled from this in the specifics, the

88
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: long and the short of it, as you laid out,

89
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: is party registration, which Democrats are used to having an advantage.

90
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 2: And one of the reasons why they didn't really detail

91
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 2: this in the article is Democrats have been running this

92
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: voter registration industrial complex that is a non that they

93
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: use nonprofits, so tax advantaged here. Okay, they're using nonprofits

94
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 2: in order to get people to sign up and vote,

95
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: but they do it in a way that they know

96
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 2: they're going to get more Democrats, right, So it's, oh,

97
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: we're just to get out the vote effort, right, And

98
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: you've seen celebrities doing this in the past and stuff,

99
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: but it's always wink wink, we're gonna do this in

100
00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: you know, in Philadelphia, in New York, in Los Angeles.

101
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: It's like they're doing it in places where they figure

102
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: we're going to overwhelmingly be registering Democrats to vote. Well,

103
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: the problem is now they can't count play on just

104
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: a blanket registration effort in these areas, especially when they're

105
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: going after let's say Latino voters, they can't count on

106
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: it benefiting Democrats, so they're going to a whole On

107
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: a second, our scam isn't working the way that it

108
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: used to. Miami Dade County, for example, the number of

109
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 2: active Republican voters zoomed past Democrats after Trump became the

110
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: Republican nominee. As recently as November twenty twenty, my home

111
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: county of Miami Dade, Clay Democrats had a two hundred

112
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: thousand in one county, two hundred thousand registered voter advantage. Yeah,

113
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: there are you know, most counties don't even have you know,

114
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: the two hundred thousand voters.

115
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you see this.

116
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: North Carolina state records show the Democrat advantage there was

117
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 2: four hundred thousand in twenty twenty. It's now basically more

118
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: or less a tide that they've got seventeen thousand voters.

119
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: I mean, that's like not not going to make a

120
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: huge difference. So this is five alarm fire time for

121
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: Is that the most alarms for a fire? Think it

122
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: is right?

123
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: There is a four alarm fire.

124
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: Five alarm fire. We got a lot of firefighters. You

125
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: guys can write it and tell I think it's five alarm, right.

126
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: I think it's five alarm right. I think that's a

127
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: big scary fire. Yeah, this is a big scary fire

128
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: for Democrats. For us, we are roasting marshmallows and enjoying

129
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: all of this. This is fantastic and it goes to

130
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: everything we talk about, as you said, the anti masculine,

131
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: anti white misjudging, the Latino misjudging, the young black male vote.

132
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean they they are in free fall. And the

133
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: great thing is clay. There's no signs of its stopping.

134
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: It just keeps getting worse, and they won't change their messaging.

135
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: They keep pushing for let's have you know, two hundred

136
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: pound guys playing on the women's athletics team in high school.

137
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I do. I think this is so. By

138
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: the way, one bit of news on this thirty states.

139
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: You might be saying, Okay, what happened in the other

140
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: twenty states. The other twenty states don't have party official registration.

141
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: So in my state of Tennessee, for instance, you walk

142
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: in on a primary and pick which side you want

143
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: to vote in, so there isn't official party registration. Some

144
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: places have registered Democrats, some places have registered Republicans. Twenty

145
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: states do not, so they only have a thirty state

146
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: data set. But this, to me, buck it corresponds with

147
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: all fifty states moved redder. If all thirty states are

148
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: hemorrhaging Democrats such that The New York Times is writing

149
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: about it and adding Republicans, it is a sign of

150
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: a profound cultural shift. And I think the numbers are

151
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: actually going to get worse. And this is why we

152
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: had this conversation. In the wake of losing in twenty

153
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: twenty four, Democrats had a real choice. Do we look

154
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: ourselves in the mirror and say, boy, voters by and

155
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: large rejected us, or do they say this is just

156
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: a sign that our message is not getting through. Those

157
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: are the only two paths, right. The first one is

158
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: hard because it requires you to say, boy, this is

159
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: on us. The second one you put it on the voters.

160
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: I think we've gotten a result so far, six months

161
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: after Trump won, Democrats have decided their message just didn't

162
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: get through, and they have as a result, doubled, tripled,

163
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: quadrupled down on crazy And they're saying, well, they're ignoring

164
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: the fact that Kamala outspent Trump. They're ignoring the fact

165
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: that voters, I believe, heard, listened, analyzed, and rejected the

166
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: arguments being made by the Democrat Party, and overwhelmingly chose

167
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: the Republican Party instead. And here's what I think is

168
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: particularly ominous, Buck, I think there are two things that

169
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: are particularly ominous about this data. One, the two most

170
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: Republican groups in the twenty twenty four election were men

171
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: under thirty and men over sixty five. I bet that

172
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: has never happened in the history of this country. And

173
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are still not recognizing it,

174
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: which means that the data, as kids are getting younger,

175
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: instead of working in Democrat favor, is actually working against them.

176
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: And I'll come into the Travis Holts household and give

177
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: you an example on this. My fourteen year old blew

178
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: my mind because I'm I can't believe that I'm going

179
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: to have two grown adult sons by the next election.

180
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: He told me, right after twenty twenty four, Dad, all

181
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: my friends cannot wait to be eighteen so we can

182
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: vote against Democrats in twenty twenty eight. These are fourteen

183
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: year old boys that will be eighteen. This is right now,

184
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: rising ninth graders, and there's a lot of these kids

185
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: they are overwhelmingly indexing a Republican just like their older

186
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: brothers did, just like is happening out there. So I

187
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: think the numbers are getting worse. That's point one for

188
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: younger two. And this is really transformative. And I know

189
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: a lot of you out there are part of this group. Asian,

190
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: Hispanic and Black voters are increasingly moving towards the Republican

191
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: side because culturally they are more male than they are

192
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: Democrat and that men are saying we're done with the craziness.

193
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: So I think both of those things are huge, not

194
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,479
Speaker 1: only now but looking forward.

195
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 2: And just from a pure power perspective, the general belief

196
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: is that after a presidential election, especially a tightly contested,

197
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: hotly contested one, oh Republicans or rather the party in

198
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: power or Republicans in this case, will get smacked down

199
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: in the midterms. And just also the overall political trend,

200
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: because when you're in power, it's easy for people to

201
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 2: say you're not doing a good enough job of this,

202
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: and you messed that up, and you know, to be

203
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: the political complainers. Tends to work right that the opposition

204
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: party gets to say, you're not delivering, you're not and

205
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 2: we've gotten used to that as our framework for politics

206
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: in this country, certainly at the national level. Here's and

207
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: let me add that happened in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen.

208
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: Going into that twenty eighteen midterms, it was Trump hasn't delivered,

209
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: They hadn't built the wall, they hadn't done this and that,

210
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: and they were able to get substantial gains in twenty

211
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: eighteen in the House, and the Democrats were really fired up.

212
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: Obviously about twenty twenty. You could tell already by that

213
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: midterm Clay, that's not happening this time. And this is

214
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: what I think is so concerning to the Democrats and

215
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: so amazing for the rest of us, is that they're

216
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: not seeing the general the general prevailing trends post this

217
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: election are not okay. Democrats are going to snap back,

218
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: Democrats are going to counterattack.

219
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: Here.

220
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 2: It's getting worse for them. Ye, Trump's been president for

221
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: seven months and things are getting better for Trump and

222
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: worse for Democrats right away in all the numbers and

223
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: all the metrics that they can see. I mean, here's

224
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 2: one we didn't mention this battleground states Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania.

225
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: Democrats are losing support in all of those states and

226
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 2: continuing to bleed support based on voter register member not

227
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 2: all states have voter registration. What is it.

228
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: It's like, uh, thirty, thirty out of thirty out of fifty,

229
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: so I'm not a register anything in my state.

230
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 2: So so twenty do not thirty two. Based on those

231
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 2: thirty states, though you can look at Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,

232
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 2: really important states, Democrats are still losing support when it

233
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: comes to voters in those places. And they're also losing

234
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 2: support when you look at voter switches, people that were

235
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: Democrats and come to Republican side, or Republicans who go

236
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: in the other direction. More Democrats are leaving the Democrat party.

237
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: I don't know how this article could be worse for

238
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: Democrats right now. Quite there was not a single silver

239
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: lining anywhere anywhere, full stop.

240
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: It was a total.

241
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: It was a delicious nightmare for them. I loved everything.

242
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: By the way. One state that I think is not

243
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: getting enough attention that is emblematic of this, maybe more

244
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: than most Nevada. In Nevada, Democrats suffered the steepest percentage

245
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: point plunge of any state other than West Virginia. West

246
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: Virginia's pretty red place. Nevada swung massively to the Republican Party.

247
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: I think there's an argument that Nevada is really teed

248
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: up to become rock ribbed red.

249
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: Well, I have a theory on West Virginia. Actually, let

250
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: me come back into the I have a theory. I

251
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: think that West Virginia data is much more important even

252
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: than the article suggests. We'll come back into this in

253
00:14:59,040 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: a second.

254
00:14:59,720 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Look.

255
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: There's only so many hours in the day where you

256
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: can be thinking about what can I do for my

257
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: long term financial health? But the benefits are worth it,

258
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: and you need to take a long term view, a

259
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: long term plan. This isn't about day trading, getting in,

260
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 2: getting out, making quick decisions like that. That's generally not

261
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: a good idea for most folks, and you don't have

262
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: the time for that. What about something that makes sense

263
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: over the long term, maybe the longest term. I mean

264
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: something that has had value for as long as there

265
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: have been economies.

266
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: Gold.

267
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: The value of gold in just the last year has

268
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: gone up about forty percent, and central banks around the

269
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: world are buying gold to back their currencies, and there's

270
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: continued erosion of fiat currencies, including here at home. Unfortunately,

271
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: because of all the spending and all the debt. This

272
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: is why gold as a portion of your portfolio makes sense.

273
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: Birch Gold Group makes owning physical gold very easy. They

274
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: can convert an existing IRA or four oh one k

275
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: into a tax sheltered IRA with physical gold. So if

276
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: you've got an old job and you've got some four

277
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: to one case around, you know, maybe you got you know,

278
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: ten grand, fifty grand, whatever it is in that four

279
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: oh one k, you're not doing much with it. Converting

280
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: that into gold can make a lot of sense. Also,

281
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: you can just buy gold and keep it. And I

282
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: have done that, and guess what. The gold that I've

283
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: bought is worth a lot more. Now. Text my name

Speaker 3: Today, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Mike drops that never

Speaker 3: or wherever you get your podcasts.

291
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: Welcome back into Clay and Buff. We're looking at these

292
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: really interesting trends on party registration, which are a great

293
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: thing for the Republicans, And I would just say this, Clay.

294
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: You said that the trend, the trend for the Democrat

295
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: Party is terrible in Nevada, which is obviously an important

296
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: swing state, and the only place it's been worse was

297
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: West Virginia. And I think that's because the increasingly people

298
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: see the Joe Biden blue dog, gun toting Democrat mythology

299
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: as just that I mean is there's no such thing

300
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: as a moderate Democrat really anymore, not of any significance.

301
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 2: They carry no weight in the party, and nobody cares

302
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 2: what they think in the Democrat Party. So I think

303
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 2: that that's why you're seeing, you know, the numbers in

304
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: West Virginia just going through the roof for Republicans, and

305
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 2: particularly in this last election with Trump won seventy to

306
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: thirty in West Virginia this last time around, and that's

307
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 2: only going to continue as well, because Democrat, you can't

308
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: be a Democrat to be pro gun in pro life.

309
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: They used to pull that off in some places. It

310
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: doesn't exist really anymore.

311
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this, because I do think it's

312
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: profound and I think a lot of Democrats are waking

313
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: up this morning and reading their morning New York Times

314
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: and saying, my goodness, the country is a lot different

315
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: than New York. In La, identity theft happens to tens

316
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: of millions of people every year. Cyber thieves hack into

317
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,719
Speaker 1: a company database and steal your info. They snatch names, addresses,

318
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: perth dates, even social security numbers. Lately, it's been happening

319
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: to a lot of airlines, so if you've flown anywhere

320
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: in the last year, you might be at risk. It's

321
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting

332
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: We are talking about the challenge that Democrats suddenly find

333
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: themselves in the midst of as The New York Times

334
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: is saying, Hey, this is a this is a mess

335
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: for you guys, and one of the uh I would say,

336
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: big issues associated with this going forward, I wanted to

337
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: come back to it is Democrats are unwilling to recognize

338
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: that their message was heard and basically universally rejected by

339
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: voters in all fifty states. So my question for you,

340
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: Buck is now that let me say this, that doesn't

341
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: mean that Democrats may not win in Virginia, doesn't mean

342
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: that Democrats may not win in New Jersey. Doesn't even

343
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: mean next year Democrats might not have a chance to

344
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: take back the House. Right, the trend lines can all

345
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: be moving again them and turnout can still be significant.

346
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: But I wanted to hit this because I think it's

347
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: so important. For a long time, you heard, oh, turnout

348
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: favors democrats. Turnout favors democrats. How many times have you

349
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: guys heard that? The data on the twenty twenty four

350
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: election actually shows if every eligible American had voted, Trump

351
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: would have won by more. Let me repeat that, because

352
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 1: I think it has not come through Trump's margin and

353
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: the popular vote would have become more substantial if everybody

354
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: who didn't vote actually had gone out and voted well.

355
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 2: And the talking point about if everyone voted, Democrats would

356
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 2: win by more. This was a little bit like their

357
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 2: selective love of the popular vote, particularly in the Bush

358
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 2: Gore contest and then Hillary Trump, which is, we know

359
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,959
Speaker 2: that's not the contest you're running, so it doesn't matter, right.

360
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: I mean, if if you're playing first one to twenty one,

361
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: you can't say, well, the ten minute quarter has ended,

362
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: so I win. Like you've got to set the rules

363
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 2: and then you've got to see where things go. But

364
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: they say this, and they've been telling themselves this for

365
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 2: a long time, and I think because of the dominance

366
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: that they had in the broad spectrum legacy media, they

367
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: were able to convince themselves of this. And and really

368
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: with COVID, you got to see. This is why I

369
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 2: think COVID was such an important moment for the country.

370
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I still think about it. I'm still angry

371
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: about it. By the way legitimately get I get ticked

372
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: off when I think about things that happened during COVID

373
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 2: that Democrats did to us, and then a lot of

374
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: Republicans were too cowardly to stop. I might add, but

375
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: that was the Democrat Party, unleashed, unrestrained. That was what

376
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: they really are, which is, you shut up. We're gonna

377
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 2: lie to you, We're going to kick you off the internet,

378
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 2: We're going to use government for to lock you in

379
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: your homes. We're gonna use government force to shut down

380
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 2: We're gonna do all these things, and we're gonna be

381
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: unrepentant about it when it all has shown that it

382
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: was wrong, unnecessary, and just destructive. And then we're gonna

383
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 2: keep telling you, well, you know, you still have to

384
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: say that a man can become a woman. Then we're

385
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: gonna keep telling you you still have to say that unrestricted,

386
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 2: open borders aren't a bad thing for the country, or

387
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 2: for any country for that matter. They decided that they

388
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: were going to go for it and put themselves in

389
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 2: a position where they could dictate what reality was, and

390
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: they were wrong. And now they're seeing the pushback, the

391
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 2: counter attack and everything that needs to happen is happening.

392
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: I think two things tie in with this too. One,

393
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: I think Trump has become a much more sophisticated politician.

394
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: I think that his group that surrounds him, his his aids,

395
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: his cabinet, I think they are smarter. I think they

396
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: are are more reflective of the country and where the

397
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: country stands. And I think Trump has taken advantage of

398
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: the reflective, reflexive anti Trump sentiment to actually just start

399
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: taking positions that are eighty or ninety percent popular to

400
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: see whether Democrats DC crime is a good example, men

401
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: and women in sports are actually willing to continue to

402
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: argue against them, and so far they have been. Here

403
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: is the question that I have for you, Buck, and

404
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: I also have this question for everybody writ large out there.

405
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: If you are unwilling to acknowledge that everybody's hearing your

406
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: message and rejecting it, which is what is happening so

407
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: far with the Democrat Party, is there a truth teller

408
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: on that side of the ledger that is going to

409
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: emerge to redefine what the Democrat Party is or do

410
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: they have to lose again in order to recognize that

411
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: their message is being heard and rejected Because I'll give

412
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: you an example. Buck. Some people are going to say,

413
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: we're just not being left wing enough. That could be

414
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: the lesson to some of these people from Mom Donnie right,

415
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: it is, Hey, basically, let's just become communists. That's what

416
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: has to motivate the base. The real Democrat party has

417
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: never been tried. Yes, basically right?

418
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: Or or.

419
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 1: Is someone going to emerge who is somewhat of a

420
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: centrist now Gavin Newsom?

421
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: Hah, look at you, look at you. This is the

422
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: next go ahead, go ahead.

423
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom has tried to flirt with centrism by saying

424
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: never the right thing, but that he hears the right argument.

425
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Remember when he was on with Sean Ryan, he said,

426
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: what's your voice? Did I hear you? It's like, yeah,

427
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: it's like I'm hearing.

428
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: I'm hearing what you're saying. I'm getting what you're putting down,

429
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 2: and the wind through my hair is speaking to all

430
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: of us.

431
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm hearing what you're saying. Is an amazing line because

432
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: you don't actually say anything like, of course you're here

433
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: unless you're unless you're deaf. Of course you hear what

434
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: I say, it doesn't mean that you actually agree with it.

435
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: So that's his line. And you know who's actually making

436
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: fun now of Gavin Newsom. This is a guy who

437
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: I think has seen the tea leaves and he will

438
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: blow in whatever direction the wind is blowing. Joe Scarborough,

439
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: who just last year was telling us this was the

440
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: best version of Biden he'd ever seen, now says Gavin

441
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Newsom's a total fake. Listen to this.

442
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 4: The Democratic As are trying to find their footing and

443
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 4: it's it's it's quite embarrassing. Actually, I mean Gavin Newsome,

444
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 4: I mean, have you seen what he's doing online? And

445
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 4: just take a deep breath. Don't try to turn this

446
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 4: ship one hundred and eighty degrees and one. They don't

447
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 4: know what to do.

448
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: I have a good idea.

449
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 4: Instead of trying to make school Donald Trump talk into

450
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 4: the camera about affordability, why try to drag Muhammad Ali

451
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 4: in the ring when you get Chuck Webner?

452
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: Sandy Wepner is a bleeder. He's a bleeder. You want him?

453
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: So why are you going I'm long after Donald?

454
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 5: No, you're not.

455
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 4: You're not running against Donald Trump.

456
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 2: Joe after Tweedledee are tweedled dumb?

457
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: Who is this is a low level boxer but what

458
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: what I think it's a very low level boxer from like, uh,

459
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: somebody look it up. But the Muhammad Ali as Trump

460
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: is funny because suddenly Trump is a great politician and

461
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: he's a great boxer. In the analogies from He's he

462
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: has kicked. He's kicked an old tactician out there. He's

463
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: kicked their asses. I mean they've had they've had to

464
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: accept Trump. Trump has kicked their asses. Trump has completely

465
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: plowed the Democrat Party Under Clay, we didn't even talk

466
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: about it because of all the big news with Russia

467
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: and all the things going on there.

468
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 2: Ms NBC has had to change its name. This is real, everybody,

469
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: This is not the onion. MSNBC is now going to

470
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: be called ms now, which honestly sounds like a channel

471
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 2: dedicated to, you know, unmarried, middle aged women who drink

472
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 2: a lot of wine and read those novels that are

473
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: you know, by the front register or something at the

474
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: grocery store like ms now. I mean, is this about

475
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: like women's health? Like, what are we talking about?

476
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: Clay?

477
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 2: He has destroyed CNN, he has destroyed MSNBC. The New

478
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: York Times will never gain back north to Washington Post,

479
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: whatever credibility that they used to have. He has crushed

480
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: the fake media. He has burned their villages and heard

481
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 2: the lamentations of their women. So yes, they have to

482
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 2: accept this. But I have a wild idea for you.

483
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: I have a wild idea for you. You ready for

484
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 2: this one?

485
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

486
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm putting on I'm putting all my Clay

487
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: Travis at right now. Hey, look at me. I love

488
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 2: SEC football and I make wild predictions that sometimes come true.

489
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 2: I'm putting on my Clay hat. Joe Scarborough's media career

490
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: is going nowhere. Joe scar should run for president as

491
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: a Democrat, and I think he sees Gavin Newsom and

492
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 2: I think he's a little jelly and I think he's

493
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 2: considering it. I think he's considering it. I don't think

494
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 2: that that this is I this is a good I

495
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: put on my claim.

496
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: I think this is a good I think this is

497
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: a good take. I actually, I mean Joe Scarborough used

498
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: to be a Republican. He now is redefining himself. He

499
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: called out Democrats for being against more police in DC. Uh.

500
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: He's got the ms now the MSNBC base that likes

501
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: him right there on the most popular show other than Matdow.

502
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: He's obviously in the communication business. We know that he

503
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: has no core belief but that actually might benefit him.

504
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: If all the core beliefs of the Democrat Party are wrong,

505
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: it's easier for someone without core beliefs to take over

506
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: the party. He's perfect, actually, and this is this is

507
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: why Joe Biden was perfect for Democrats in twenty twenty

508
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: because he was old, were scared, he didn't have to

509
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: show up for anything, and he was able to be

510
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: the He was the pretext of the old Democrat Party

511
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: still exists.

512
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 2: Now we know what happened. He was a dementia puppet

513
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: and you got AOC policies with a Joe Biden facade, right,

514
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: and it was truly a facade because it was like,

515
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: you know, the marionette, like hey here I am everybody,

516
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: I'm talking And so that was what worked for them.

517
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: Then what would work for them now is a slick,

518
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: grinning Gavin Newsom or Joe Scarborough type, soulless but smooth

519
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: individual who can who is good on the stump, who

520
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: knows how to debate, who knows how to do the

521
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: the oleaginist thing up there word of the day and

522
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: I think I think Scarborough and actually Gavin, I think

523
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: Scarborough and Newsom are the same creature. That's what I release.

524
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: And I think Gavin Newsom and Joe Scarborough are such

525
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 2: egomaniacs that they have what it takes to say absolutely

526
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: anything to win a Democrat primary. That's what I That's

527
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 2: what that's where I see it. And and you know,

528
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: this would be an opportunity. I'm telling you he would,

529
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: It would get he would do very well in a primary.

530
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 2: Remember MSNBC there's a they have a strong minority and

531
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: a strong female black viewership for from within the you know,

532
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: the news cohorts, the news industry, and so they they

533
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: know him, they would like him, they would support him.

534
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think Scarborough running is not

535
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: as as not a People always say on the right

536
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: the Tucker is gonna run, which I don't think that's

537
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: going to happen. I think Tucker likes what he's doing now.

538
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: But I uh.

539
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: The Scarborough thing, you don't think it's crazy. I put

540
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: my hat on and you agree.

541
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: Well, I've been arguing for some time that it might

542
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: take somebody outside of the Democrat Party, and I think

543
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: in the wake of Trump's success, there will be I

544
00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: think multiple non traditional politicians who on the Democrat You.

545
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: Need, you need star power to win a Democrat primary.

546
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: Now it used you can't replicate the brand creation of

547
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: other Democrats that have you know, Biden, the guy's been

548
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 2: in politics longer than you and I have been alive.

549
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: And so that name recognition is effectively similar to the

550
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: you know, the celebrity status. Right, You're not going to

551
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 2: get somebody who comes up now who doesn't have star

552
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: power and wins a Democrat primary. This is again why

553
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: I think AOC is certainly a vice president in waiting,

554
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: and I think that that's where the Democrats are heading.

555
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 5: Well.

556
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: The reason I like the Scarborough angle, right the outsider

557
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 1: is this is my art, this is my assertion. In

558
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: order to win, a Democrat has to put the left

559
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: wing in basically time out. They have to lecture the

560
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: left wing and say this party is not this party

561
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: doesn't exist just for trans people. This party doesn't exist

562
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: just for people who believe that America is fundamentally awful

563
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: and that American history is something to be ashamed of.

564
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: I think Joe Scarborough or Gavin Newsom, I mean this

565
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: is they're the same. They're the same lane for the Democrats, right,

566
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: A guy.

567
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: With who's smooth on the air, he's got good hair,

568
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: and it's gonna say whatever he has to say to

569
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 2: make everybody play ball long enough that he can actually

570
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 2: get powered. I think that the case from the Newsom

571
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: Scarborough side of things is, I don't care what you

572
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: blue haired you know, communist freaks. Yes, actually, and again

573
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: we mean purple hair, not old people like people that

574
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: die their hair. I don't care what you communist freaks want.

575
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: If you don't let me run this show a little bit.

576
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 2: Trump and Maga are just gonna keep stealing your lunch

577
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: for the next decade.

578
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's right. I also think some of

579
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: the Democrats are too much of cowards to try to

580
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: put what is it a great phrase from Dirty Dancing?

581
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: Nobody puts baby in the corner. You got to put

582
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: crazy in the corner, and you got to say, like

583
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm shutting the door on you loans, you can show

584
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: up and vote whatever. You're not going to drive the

585
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: party anymore. I think a lot of professional politicians are

586
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: afraid of that, because they're afraid of that party element

587
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: coming back. The progressive wing in power, whereas Joe Scarborough,

588
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: what the heck does he care. He's got a television contract,

589
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: he's got money. I don't know that Gavin Newsom is

590
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: willing to truly burn the ships, because if it doesn't

591
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: work in twenty eight, he might need those people in

592
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: thirty two.

593
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: I just one last thing. I know, we got to

594
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: get to it. But just Clay, you know this, you

595
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: know this beast, you know this animal very well, the

596
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: media personality who we've all seen this playing out over decades.

597
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: When you're at that stage at Scarboro's at the guy's

598
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: worth millions and millions of tens of millions of dollars

599
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: probably at this point he's a very wealthy guy. Okay,

600
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 2: he's been doing TV a long time. His relevance is

601
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 2: dropping immensely by being at MSNBC. How do you become

602
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: relevant again? He doesn't really matter to you at that

603
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: point very much. Has it become relevant again?

604
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: You run?

605
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 2: And also you've been embarrassed because you were the guy

606
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: who said Biden was at his best. You need to

607
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: change the story, and you have to do something radical

608
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 2: sometimes because because all you care, it's all ego driven.

609
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 2: And to change the story, I mean, look at Look,

610
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: look at Trump. Obama made fun of Trump at a

611
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 2: dinner and the world changed.

612
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, I think that's right. I don't.

613
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: I think the Scarborough idea is actually a good one.

614
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: I think there will be other people, Dwayne the Rock, Johnson,

615
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban. I'm not signing on to any of these guys,

616
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people will believe that

617
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: they can be the Democrat version of Trump. Ali Dwyer

618
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: and her three sons lost their hero, Stevens. Serving our

619
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: country in the United States Army was Steven's calling. Flying

620
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: helicopters was his passion. Sadly, Stephen died in a black
