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

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: We are spanning the entire United States. I am in

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: La Buck is in New York City and there is

5
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: much to discuss. COVID insanity continues to rage. We've got

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: a loaded program for you. But just earlier this morning,

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: news comes down that the inflation rate is continuing to

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: rise in the United States. We are up to seven

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: point five percent. Every single time the inflation rate comes

10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: in above expectations, economists are quoted as being surprised. I'm

11
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: far from an expert on the economic conditions, but if

12
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: your models continue to be overrun by increasing inflation, maybe

13
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: you should stop being surprised by the things that are

14
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: actually taking place. All the way back in nineteen eighty two,

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: forty years ago, was the last time inflation was this high.

16
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: I actually pulled up the article here on what was

17
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: going on in nineteen eighty two, David Letterman made his

18
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: debut on NBC. Basically this same time forty years ago,

19
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: the House Judiciary Goop said diet coke was just introduced.

20
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: The New York Islanders were actually good at hockey. That

21
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: feels like just a low blow to people who are

22
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: living out on Long Island, to just I mean out

23
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: of nowhere you're starting off your day. We got some

24
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: Islander fans. I apologize that, and CD players made their debut.

25
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: This is pretty crazy, buck, and I wanted to listen

26
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: to the react action on Fox Business Network Stuart Varney

27
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: as this news comes down, and he talks about the

28
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: fact that instead of getting better, inflation continues to get worse.

29
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: There is only one money story, and that is inflation.

30
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: So here's what we have. In the last year, consumer

31
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: prices have gone up seven point five Inflation is running hot.

32
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: This is another report showing the worst inflation in over

33
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: forty years. And this is the inflation which everyone feels,

34
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: food prices, housing, transportation all up sharply, question who gets

35
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: the blame for this? It looks like inflation is actually

36
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: speeding up, not tapering off by any means. It's getting worse.

37
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: Seven percent in December, seven point five percent in January.

38
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: Not good. So Black, I mean, this is a mess.

39
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: And I know we've talked about COVID and the dangers

40
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: that it could be as a drag for Biden. As

41
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: we go into twenty twenty two, but the combination of

42
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: COVID and inflation. Inflation is not going to be gone.

43
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: I feel very cold, infinite about that as we get

44
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: into election season. I mean, this is pretty crippling, right,

45
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: the problems that we keep seeing that are severe and

46
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: inescapable at this point, the border issue, COVID restrictions, all

47
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: these things. Clay, we're seeing the downside obviously inflation as well.

48
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: But we have all these different areas where no one

49
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: can say this isn't going poorly, crime in cities, no

50
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: one can say this isn't going poorly. The issue we're

51
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: running up against is that the only way to deal

52
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: with these problems is to do the opposite or go

53
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: in the opposite direction of what Democrat policy has been

54
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: for the first year of the Biden administration and even

55
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: stretching back into what they've been pushing for for years

56
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: into the Trump administration. So we're in we're in this

57
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: fix right because if we look at the inflation issue,

58
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: why do we have it? Everybody who has even the

59
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: most basic understanding of economics, we'll say, well, we spend

60
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars in addition to the trillions of dollars.

61
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: The government is already spending after a period of never

62
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: before done, you know, quantitative easing and monetary policy, and

63
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: a debt that's approaching now thirty trillion dollars. I mean,

64
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: let's what was the debt in nineteen we're doing nineteen

65
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: eighty two? What was our national's head in nineteen eighty two?

66
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: Someone will tell me in a second, and I bet

67
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: over under, let's set over under. What do you think

68
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: the national debt? No, I can't walk. I'm walking in

69
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: front of the cluss on this one. I mean I

70
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: will a couple trills. I will set a number. I

71
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: was gonna say two, three, Yeah, I was gonna say

72
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: three trillion dollars. Two and a half. Three trillion dollars

73
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: would be my guests. So for them. By the way,

74
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: the entire history of the United States, buck, we had

75
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: built up a deficit I think of around of around

76
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: five trillion by the end of the nineties, and in

77
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: the last twenty years we have added twenty five trillion

78
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: dollars to the national debt. So I believe that's actually

79
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: now we look at this problem. People, everyone, all of

80
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 1: our people listening across the country know that their wage increased.

81
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: There's been some modest wage increase that's occurred in the

82
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: last year or so, depending on the period of time,

83
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: but that has been completely outstripped by inflation. So you're losing.

84
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: You're putting money in a bank account every month if

85
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: you're able to save, which, as we know, a lot

86
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: of people, over half of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

87
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: But if you're able to save, whatever you're saving, you're

88
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: losing about seventy sorry seven seven percent annually. And you're wondering, Okay, well,

89
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: what can we do about this? Clay the Biden Administration's

90
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: entire economic and domestic policy agenda at a time of

91
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: the highest inflation since I was born. It's I mean,

92
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, you're only a couple of years out of me.

93
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: Is to spend a whole lot more money? I mean,

94
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: you can't. It's like they're staring at a forest fire

95
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: and they're saying, you know, we got a fever and

96
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: the only prescription is more gasoline. They are out of

97
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: their minds. Joe Biden is going on tele isn't telling

98
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: everybody if we spend the build back better trillions and

99
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: you look at the real estimates there's so much of

100
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: this as sunset, but it's not going to be sunset.

101
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: So the spending will be higher than they say it'll be.

102
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: They say it'll pay for itself. That is delusional. It'll

103
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: cost trillions of additional dollars. The one thing that they

104
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: would need to do, Clay, would be to of course

105
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: stop the restrictions in the Blue States which are holding

106
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: back those economies and economic productivity, and to stop spending

107
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: money and essentially running an experiment in universal basic income,

108
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: which is what they've done during COVID. They use as

109
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: an excuse to set up a universal basic income I

110
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: paying people to stay home, and they're doing the exact

111
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: they're doing the exact wrong things because otherwise, what are

112
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: they going to say, we were right? And they won't

113
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: say that. They won't accept that. And the one saving

114
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: grace might be that Joe Mansion actually seems to care

115
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: about inflation. He's one of the few Democrats who seems

116
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: to have a functional brain as it pertains to the

117
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: overall hit And I think you said as a stute,

118
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of focus in the Biden administration on

119
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: wage growth. Wage growth is not rising to the level

120
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: of inflation, So in terms of real income in pockets

121
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: everyone out there who is working, even if their wages

122
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: are going up, I think the average wages are going

123
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: up five point five point eight or five point seven

124
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: percent right now are the most recent estimates i've seen. Well,

125
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: that means you're losing even if you're gaining, you're losing

126
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: ground relative to the buying power. When inflation is up

127
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: to seven point five percent and it appears built back

128
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: better is dead. Did you see Mansion put out a

129
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: statement effectively saying we have to figure out how to

130
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: get control of inflation and bucket this point in time.

131
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: I just wonder when is when are we going to

132
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: top out? Right? Because the economists keeps saying, Oh, it's

133
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: gonna ease, it's gonna ease, gonna ease, all right, but

134
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: we're now into February. I don't get the sense that

135
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: it's easing. I don't get the sense that the supply

136
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: chain is getting that much better. If you walk into

137
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: a grocery store, there are a lot of empty shelves

138
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: right now, higher than most of us have seen at

139
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: any point in our lives other than the COVID rush.

140
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: If you go to fill up your car. You stand

141
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: there and you look at the price of gas. I mean,

142
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: it is staggering how much it costs to fill up,

143
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,559
Speaker 1: to fill up a car right now, no matter where

144
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: you are in the country. And when is that going

145
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: to get better? God? God forbid, you're trying to buy

146
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: a car. Have you seen how much use car prices

147
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: are up. I mean, we're talking about just fundamentally broken

148
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: aspects of our economy, and I don't know how we

149
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: fix it. And certainly the Biden administration has no answers here.

150
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Where did all the money go? People wonder one point

151
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: nine trillion spent by Democrats at the beginning of administration,

152
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: And I mean, yeah, there are answers to this. It

153
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: went to pay people the extended unemployment benefits. It went

154
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: to all kinds of purchases that were supposed to get

155
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: states ready for reopen, but then of course they kept

156
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: withholding the reopen. They are spending money in ways at

157
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: the government level that are making everyone listening to this

158
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: less well off, costing them hundreds of dollars a month

159
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: on average, just in terms of what's being eaten up

160
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: in the economy by these bad policies. But this is

161
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: the issue. The Democrats can't accept that they're just obviously wrong.

162
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: But they also know that these issues gas prices, inflation,

163
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: cost a groceries, and by the way, the way we

164
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: gauge inflation isn't even really that good, you know, the

165
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: basket of goods. It's it's higher than it really seems

166
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: to be for most people when you look at what

167
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: the actual cost of living is for folks now. But Clay,

168
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: this does hurt Democrats, so they know they've got a

169
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: problem because politically, people are annoyed by this, which is

170
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: why the average, the real clear politics average of pulling

171
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: for the Biden administration approval is under forty percent. I

172
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: believe the average being under forty percent. This is the

173
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: first time. So things are looking bad for them already.

174
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: And on all these issues, we keep coming back to,

175
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: how can they make things better with the economy. Well,

176
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: for one thing, they have to regulate lest they have

177
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: to let people get back to work. They have to

178
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: stop with all the stupid pandemic restrictions, stop spending money

179
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: that they don't have, stop running up a national debt.

180
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: Those are all the things that they refuse to do.

181
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: Right that this is the problem is why we're at

182
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: an impass block. Here's the answer. By the way, for

183
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two, Ali tracted down one trillion dollars was

184
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: our national debt in nineteen eighty two. So think about this.

185
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: The entire history of our country, from let's say you

186
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: seventeen eighty three when we won independence from the British,

187
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: all the way up to nineteen eighty two, two hundred years,

188
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: we had run up a national debt of one trillion

189
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: dollars in that first two hundred years. In the last

190
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: forty years, we have added twenty nine trillion dollars to

191
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: our national debt because three peple out there, I know

192
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, but we're at thirty trillion

193
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: dollar national debt right now. And guests, by the way,

194
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: who owns a huge percentage of our national debt China?

195
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you are talking about in two generations twenty

196
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: nine trillion dollars in spending. I don't know. I understand

197
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: there's people out there who say modern monetary theory doesn't

198
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter, and as long as you keep as

199
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: long as you keep printing money, you're gonna be fine.

200
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: But man, this is to me, it's incredibly sobering. I

201
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people out there who are

202
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: crypto people. Buck, I don't know if you've ever done

203
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: anything in crypto, but I mean one of the big

204
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: driving forces behind crypto is that national currencies are in

205
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: for really substantial issues going forward, particularly the dollar. And

206
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: I mean, god, that's crazy to think about nineteen eighty

207
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: two one trillion. We've added twenty nine trillion dollars in

208
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: debt in the last forty years. I sit here and

209
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: I just tell everybody, if you look at the history,

210
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: and it's a pretty long one, the history of fiat

211
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: currency is not something that I'll help you sleep well

212
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: at night in terms of what it always devolves into

213
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: and where it goes. This is not good folks, and

214
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: the Democrats that they like paying people off with the

215
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: public's money, convincing them with someone else's money, and keeping

216
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: themselves in power with it. This is how you destroy

217
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: an economy and with it, actually you can destroy a

218
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: whole country of civilization. It's scary but to think about.

219
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: Because the conversation almost has disappeared. There used to be

220
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: people who would say, hey, we got to make sure

221
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: we worry about the deficit. Even remember it wasn't that

222
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: long ago. Bill Clinton balanced the budget. And you know,

223
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: because you live in New York City, it used to

224
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: be an iconic story all the time, your national debt.

225
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: And they still have the billboard that counts the national

226
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: debt like on a day to day, hour by hour

227
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: basis New York City. Yeah, the debt clock. And they

228
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: actually had to take it down because from like ninety

229
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,199
Speaker 1: six to ninety eight we started running surpluses and then

230
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: everything has fallen apart. I mean, it really is scary,

231
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: and there's almost no discussion of it. It turned into

232
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: an arm discussion. It turned into an arms race really

233
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: between both Republicans and Democrats for who could spend money

234
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: in ways and this really, if you go back to

235
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: the Bush administration, who could spend money in ways that

236
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: would win them the most votes in the next election.

237
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 1: And once that de evolution happens where both sides are

238
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: just saying we're going to shovel, what really is going

239
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: on also, and a lot of folks know this, and

240
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: it's a hard thing for some people to hear, is

241
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: intergenerational theft. I mean, you see the saddling of future

242
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: generations with debt obligations from within the for for our

243
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: currency and for our national financial obligations. That is just

244
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: going to hurt your your kids, your grandkids, Clay, you know, yeah,

245
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: that's that's what it's. It's frustrating to see this, and

246
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: I think the only way that you start to turn

247
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: the ship in the other direction is that annihilation the

248
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: midterms and then of course a different president as soon

249
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: as we can possibly get one. But even that you've

250
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: got to keep the heat on Republicans with it. I'm

251
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: not I am not delusional about Republicans being the fiscal

252
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: conservatives that they pretend to be. Thirty twenty nine trillion

253
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: additional dollars debt in the last forty years, Buck, I mean,

254
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 1: that is that's just crap. I mean, I don't how

255
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: do you end it? Right? And right now we're talking

256
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: about still low interest rates. But what happens if we

257
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: ever end up in an era where interest rates take

258
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: off again like they did in Jimmy Carter's era, like

259
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: they were in the early years of the Reagan era.

260
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: People forget there's this idea and it's magical thinking. Every

261
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: couple of generations, we forget that things like this can

262
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: happen because people age out of it? How often are

263
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: you saying? How often have you found yourself switching your

264
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: cell phone provider once a decade, maybe never. You don't

265
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: have to be chained to Verizon AT and t r

266
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: T Mobile. Trust me. Pure Talk gives you the same

267
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: five G service on the same network as one of those,

268
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: but for a tiny fraction of the price. Consider this.

269
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: If the average sized family is saving over eight hundred

270
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: dollars a year by moving their cell phone service to

271
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: pure Talk over the next ten years, that's eight thousand

272
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: dollars in savings. Would you switch your cell phone provider

273
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: if you could save eight thousand dollars and you can

274
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: keep your phone and your number. I thought so when

275
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: you start relying on pure Talk for cell phone service,

276
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: you're supporting a veteran owned business and supporting a US

277
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: based call center. Listen to this new plan from pure Talk.

00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: talk dot com promo code, pure talk. Welcome back into

285
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: the Clay and Buck Show. We've got inflation at a

286
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: forty year high. You've got the federal government still making

287
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: people cling to masks, certainly on planes, and saying the

288
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: CDC isn't ready yet. They're not ready yet to give

289
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: up all the crap that didn't work, Southern border wide

290
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: open drug overdoses at an all time high last year.

291
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're trying to find something the Biden

292
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: administration has done well, unless you think that destroying the

293
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: country is actually their goal, which I know some of

294
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: you probably do, you will be looking for a very

295
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: long time. And Clay and I are not out here

296
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: on an island shouting about I mean, I'm technically on

297
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: an island, but shouting about this stuff on a metaphorical

298
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: island alone. Here's the CNN, Paul, you just send this

299
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: to me, Clay. Most Biden detractors say he's done nothing

300
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: they like since becoming president. So it's not even just

301
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: that they're they're kind of iffy on it, or they

302
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: think the people that think Biden's not doing good job

303
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: are basically saying this dude is a zero. He is

304
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: a straight up loser top to bottom. When you have CNN,

305
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: I mean I saw this headline. I couldn't help but chuckle.

306
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean it sucks. Right, Let's be honest, nobody's rooting

307
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: for the President of the United States to do an

308
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: awful job because ultimately it emboldens our enemies, destroys every

309
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: everybody's quality of life, right because of the failures. But

310
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: the opening paragraph is nearly six and ten Americans disapprove

311
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: of how Joe Biden is handling his presidency, with most

312
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: of that group saying there's literally nothing Biden has done

313
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: since taking office that they approve of. And a couple

314
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: of the stats here forty one percent approval rating. Again

315
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: this is according to CNN, so that's probably an exaggeration. Honestly,

316
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: fifty eight percent disapproval. Only thirty six percent of Independence

317
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: approve of Joe Biden so far nine percent of Republicans, which,

318
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: by the way, who were those nine percent? I mean

319
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: those people been paying attention to any headlines out there,

320
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: and it's dropped even to the Democrat approval. So this

321
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: thing is, this thing is pretty crazy. When the opening

322
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: sentences I mean, this is this is about as bad

323
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: as it can possibly get, right. I just it is

324
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: an unmitigated disaster. Right now, for Joe, I gotta tell

00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: the podcast. We set a new record which was awesome.

00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you. In January nearly twelve million downloads

346
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: of the Clay and Buck podcast, which is just off

347
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: the charts. We'd love all of our affiliates. We love

Speaker 1: you possibly can. But if you need it on demand,

350
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,600

351
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,240

353
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: doable when it comes to the overall podcast universe, the

354
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: on demand audio space. We thank you, and let's see

355
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: if we can set another record in February, which, given

356
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: the fact that it's a short month, is a bit

357
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: of a challenge, but we believe you can do it.

358
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: We thank all of you for that support. All right,

359
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: if you have been listening to the show for a while,

360
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: you might have noticed that suddenly the Democratic governors in Connecticut,

361
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Delaware, New York, even Illinois, Oregon, as they

362
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: are rolling back all of their different restrictions are starting

363
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: to sound just a little bit like Clay and Buck,

364
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: like Ron de Santis, like voices for sanity in an

365
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: insane world. Well, even the media and the White House

366
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: is starting to notice this, and they said, Jen Psaki,

367
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: you ripped Ron de Santis to the high heavens for

368
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: making many of the same choices that the democratic governors

369
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: are now making, summons them a year later. And why

370
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: are you not also ripping those choices made by those

371
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: democratic governors? How did Jensaki aka Little Red Lying Hood

372
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: handle that question? Not very well? I would say there

373
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: is a distinct difference between standing in the way which

374
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: run de Santis did, our Governor de Santis, I'll give

375
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: him his full title of teachers, school administrators, and others

376
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: taking steps to protect the students in their school communities.

377
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: There's a difference between standing in the way of it,

378
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: threatening to pull back funding and allowing for local school

379
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: districts to make choices, which is what a number of

380
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: these states are doing. I mean, Clay, this is what

381
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: they should have been doing much sooner. This is why

382
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: when people say, well, hold on a second, is it

383
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: really safe? I don't know. Look at the state of Florida.

384
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: They have not had these restrictions in place in schools

385
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: in particular at all this school year at all, And

386
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: the numbers are fine, it's right in line with everything else.

387
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: One of the problems here, I think is that no

388
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: one's claiming that the lack of restrictions is necessarily going

389
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: to mean. You know, that doesn't defeat COVID. It just

390
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: deals with the reality of the restrictions don't actually restrict COVID, right,

391
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: So then you're gonna have cases, You're gonna have things

392
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: that are happening to people. But it's it's pretty stunning

393
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: to see how obvious the politics are here. You know

394
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: how obvious. It's because our team is doing it now

395
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: that it's okay. But you even see among the journos,

396
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: by the way, and now you'll see people saying, oh,

397
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: look at this. You'll see people who are clear Democrat

398
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: blue check saying, look at this really insightful piece from

399
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: somebody raising questions, raising tough questions about whether masking in

400
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: school comes with some real drop acts. And you and

401
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: I are sitting here, you know, screaming to high heaven

402
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: like yeah, welcome to the party, pal John McClean style Yeah,

403
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: that's a great line from die Hard. I gotta tell you,

404
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: these are the same blue checks who were ripping me

405
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: to the high heavens when I went and argued against

406
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: mask for my kids back in August at a school

407
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: board meeting. That was exactly what they were ripping me for.

408
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: And the data has been clear and readily transparent to

409
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: anybody that was actually willing to look at it. And

410
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: the overall overarching results here I think, buck, who is

411
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: ever going to trust the CDC ever again when it

412
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: comes to any of the things that they are being

413
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: asked about? And so this is really kind of intriguing,

414
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: and credit by the way to the media, which actually

415
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: is finally start to ask questions like this. And again,

416
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: Jensaki was asked, Hey, does the CDC run the risk

417
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: of becoming irrelevant if every Democratic governor as well as

418
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: certainly most Republican governors are effectively acknowledging that there is

419
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: nothing to support in the CDC data? Listen to this

420
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: on cut seven. We gotta come in here. But I

421
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: mean that's the real question, right, I think it is

422
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: absolutely See we're on the risk of becoming irrelevant given

423
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 1: that their states are moving along the heap of out them. Well,

424
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: I don't think the federal experts on health and medical

425
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: advice should be irrelevant to Americans at a time where

426
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: we're still facing a pandemic. It's such a snarky, like

427
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 1: mean high school girl answer to this. Yes, the CDC

428
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: is largely irrelevant to people that pay attention and have

429
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: any judgment whatsoever, because the CDC is not only wrong

430
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: over and over again. Go back and listen to Rachelle

431
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: Wilenski with her it protects so well against infection what

432
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: six months ago? Yeah, about that protection from infection that

433
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: the vaccine was supposed to give us. But beyond that, Clay,

434
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: they're obviously gauging these important decisions that this affects every

435
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: affects the economy, it affects our day to day lives,

436
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: based upon what the politics of the Biden regime and

437
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party are. We all see it. We saw

438
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: it with the fact that they were changing guidance for

439
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: school reopening a long time ago for the first time around,

440
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: based on what the teachers unions wanted CDC fauci they're

441
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: meeting with the teachers. Why should the teachers unions have

442
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: any say in this whatsoever. The rest of us didn't

443
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: get a say and whether we could go about our lives.

444
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: The teachers unions get to determine. They get a taxpayer

445
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: funded vacation for their adults at the expense of children.

446
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: I don't think so, folks. I'm not giving this up.

447
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: I keep telling me, I'm an anti mask zealot. I'm

448
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: holding through teachers unions a honble for child abuse. I

449
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: am not letting any of this stuff go because I

450
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: worry we're gonna go into summer and it's gonna be

451
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: a big party and everyone's gonna be cracking their white

452
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: claws or whatever, and they're gonna forget about what they

453
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: did to us. What percentage is A Yeah, I was

454
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 1: gonna I know what you're talking about. But I think

455
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: they're hearing like white claws. They're like that is that

456
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: that endors scarf while he's drinking his white claws? Yeah,

457
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: they are gonna there's no law with the claw. Um

458
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: is the is the some of the moms. What the

459
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: moms say out there? I will say, by the way,

460
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: it's an alcoholic beverage. If you're not aware of what

461
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: that is, that was supposed to be what happened this

462
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: past summer. Right, you're supposed to have a vax summer.

463
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be amazing parties. Remember even in your town, Buck,

464
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 1: people just turned all the different uh early days like

465
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: May and June and July, all of the different city

466
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: parks just turned into basically open raves, like people were

467
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: just throwing crazy parties because the idea was, oh, everybody

468
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: got vaccinated, there's nothing to be afraid of. Now celebrate

469
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: the end of COVID. And then all of a sudden

470
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: the data came out and they're like, well, actually, and

471
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: then we had delta and then we had omicron. I

472
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: just I you're right that there will be an attempt

473
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: to try to pretend that COVID is over this summer.

474
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt, and we know based

475
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: on the overarching data that it's likely to be lower

476
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: cases then. But I just think the conjunction of COVID

477
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: and inflation is going to make it hard for Biden

478
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: to dig himself out of this hole. Plus we know

479
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: he's incompetent and not politically savvy, and frankly, I don't

480
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: think he has very good advisors helping him either, And

481
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 1: I'm happy to see that the American people, of a

482
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: solid majority of them, the old let's get involved in

483
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: some foreign conflict and maybe stoke some military intervention somewhere else,

484
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, like Hillary with Libya. That's not happening, it

485
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 1: seems right now with Ukraine. I mean, I don't want to,

486
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: I don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but I

487
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: think the American people are like, that's not going to

488
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: fly either. So some of the some of the moves,

489
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: the maneuvers that they could take right now to try

490
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: to shift what is it going to be? We saw

491
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 1: they're gonna mobilize BLM again, that was a disaster, by

492
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: the way, up at clainbuck dot com, Fox News editorial

493
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: piece from yours. Truly, the legacy of BLM is more

494
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: crime and more dead police officers. That is the actual

495
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: legacy by the numbers of Black Lives Matter as a movement.

496
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: And it's up at Clay and Buck dot com right now.

497
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: Go check that out Fox News piece. And yes, that

498
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: is the reality, Clay. They can't What are they gonna do?

499
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: What what's the move? What's the Biden move? Right now?

500
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: Going into the midterms. Let's talk about a week come back,

501
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: because I don't think he has some great plays. But

502
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: I always like to think in the same way where

503
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: if you're coaching a game, you think, hey, what do

504
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: you expect the opposition to do if you were getting

505
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: ready for the mid terms? And I don't think Biden

506
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: has great advisors, but what would they try and focus

507
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: on to avoid the tidal wave of Republican opposition sweeping

508
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: over them, taken back the House and taken back the Senate.

509
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: I kind of sketch stout yesterday. I was like, Okay,

510
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: what would his arguments be by the summer as we

511
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: get ready for you know, that Labor Day push rolling

512
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: into the mid terms. And I got a couple of

513
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: ideas that I think they may try to trot out there.

514
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: I'll let you know what those are, and I'm curious

515
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: what you think about the argument as well. Black We

516
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: got loaded guests, awesome show coming the rest of the way,

517
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: spanning the country from LA to New York. And by

518
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: the way, haven't been asked only one time to get

519
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: into any bar restaurant in LA. Obviously I'm unvaccinated. Zero

520
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: issue so far in LA. It's super Bowl Week. Everybody's

521
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: hoping they're going to score some tickets when they see you.

522
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: You know, hey, Clay Plea's got the hook up. I'm

523
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: not gonna check his vax card. We should send me

524
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: out there, have the have the swoop walking around downtown LA.

525
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: They'll be like, hey, you no sports took up? You

526
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: gotta It's also like eighty five degrees out here, so

527
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: I think they're just They've put even more tables outdoors

528
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: and everything else. But I think all the restrictions have disappeared.

529
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: We were talking about inflation to start off the show today.

530
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's the worst it's been in forty years.

531
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: That means that the dollars in your bank account are

532
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: losing value. This is a mathematical certainty. It is a

533
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: reality that we're all facing right now. But you can

534
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: actually have gold or silver placed in your iray or

535
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: four one k as a way of protecting your wealth

536
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: and diversifying in a time of rampant inflation. You should

537
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: own real gold and silver because gold and silver traditionally

538
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: hold value, especially when markets decline or fail, and you

539
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: can rely on the team at the Oxford Gold Group

540
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: to make all this possible. Both the purchase and the

541
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: delivery of the gold and silver that you purchase. The

542
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: gold from Oxford Gold Group will beat any competitor's price.

543
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: That includes also silver, platinum, and palladium. If you think

544
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: buying precious metals is complicated, my friends at the Oxford

545
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: Gold Group are who you need to call. They'll explain

546
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: everything to you. You can have real gold delivered to

547
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: your home like I have in the past, or have

548
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: real goal that's part of your iray. It's just a

549
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: phone call away with Oxford Gold. Call them at eight

550
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: three three four zero four Gold and learn how you

551
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: can have real gold in your IRA and delivered to

552
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: your door. That's the Oxford Gold Group at eight three

553
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: three four zero four Gold eight three three four zero

554
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: four g LD. This is a defining moment for parents

555
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: and kids in Virginia, and we have a bipartisan movement

556
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: to get parents back in charge of their kids' lives

557
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: because remember, parents matter, and that's what voters said loudly

558
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: in November. And so all of a sudden, now where

559
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: Virginia has been leading, we're seeing the rest of the

560
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: country also come around us because it's time to get

561
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: back to normal. It's time to empower parents. And I'm

562
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: so excited that Virginia is leading in a bipartisan way

563
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: to give parents the power to choose whether their child

564
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: wears a mask or not in school. Welcome back to

565
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck Show. The new Governor of Virginia, Glen

566
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: yunkin staying on message and getting it done early on

567
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: in his administration and following through more importantly being on

568
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: message with the promises that he made two parents in

569
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: Virginia and Clay, this is another part of our whole

570
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: What does it look like this year? This is about

571
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: to just turn into an all out political battle. As

572
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: we know right, we've the last year was really Biden

573
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: Year one, COVID coming out of the you know, coming

574
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: out of the ditch to borrow from the remember of

575
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: the Obama with the economy, got driven into a ditch. Well,

576
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: COVID got driven into a ditch from the Obama era.

577
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: That was the line. And now year two is going

578
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: to be the referendum and the big political fight. Part

579
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,239
Speaker 1: of the messaging will be that the parents are going

580
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: to be able to go forward now, going to go

581
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: out there and not only have their voices heard. We've

582
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: been putting parents just everyday folks on this show even

583
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: on the issue of masks and schools. But when they

584
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: decide to mobilize, they could be a major force, a

585
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: Tea Party like movement when it comes to their views

586
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: not just on masking, but on CRT and just the

587
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: overall need to put children first in a system, the

588
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: school system nationally that's supposed to be all about them.

589
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: And the part of this I find fashioning this play.

590
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: This is another area or what is the Biden we're

591
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: just talking before. What's the Biden move? The Biden move

592
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: can't be shut up parents, I'm gonna put you on

593
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: a terror watch list. They tried that and it didn't

594
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: go very well. So what is the counter messaging to

595
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: this movement right now? That doesn't sound like Biden is

596
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 1: effectively owned by the teachers unions and wants to have

597
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: kids learning CRT and you know, shut up and go

598
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: away parents. That's not going to go well for them. Yeah.

599
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: Look when we went and I saw the crowd when

600
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: I spoke in August, I called you right after at

601
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: the school board and I said, this is the start

602
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: of the mom revolution. Right If you went back and

603
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: listened to our show from August of last year, you

604
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: could feel the energy that was likely to power Glen

605
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: Younkin through And I said, look, they're gonna be caricatured

606
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: all these moms and dads who are opposed to masks

607
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: and are looking at the data and looking at the

608
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: science as redneck, idiot Trump voters. But the reality was

609
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: many of these parents are among the best educated out there,

610
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: and they're actually looking at the data and they're not

611
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: sheep who were following the argument. So I think what

612
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is going to try to run on this

613
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: is my bet in twenty twenty two for the midterms.

614
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: The Democrats, they're gonna try to use abortion right because

615
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: we know we have the Supreme Court case that is

616
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: coming down at some point in the summer, and they're

617
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: gonna try to terrify suburban women using abortion as a cudgel.

618
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: We'll see whether or not that works. I think we

619
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: are already seeing buck they're gonna try to co opt

620
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: the mask argument by pretending that this has been their

621
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: argument all along and that they followed the science and

622
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: it's now safe to not have masks, even though everyone

623
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: out there who is smart has been looking at the

624
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: data and they're saying nothing has changed like this is

625
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 1: a lie. They'll try to argue we ended COVID. Right,

626
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna say we ended COVID by relying on the

627
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: science and doctor Fouci know why, Right, That's going to

628
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: be an argument. They'll try to play the racism card

629
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: depending on how exactly the Supreme Court nomination goes of

630
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: whoever the black woman is. And as you just pointed

631
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: out as we went to break, they're going to continue

632
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: to argue that January sixth was an insurrection and the

633
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: white supremacists are trying to overthrow the election by not

634
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: letting minority voters go to the polls. That is going

635
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: to be I believe, their entire argument for the midterms.

636
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: Biden right now, as we speak here and everyone's listening

637
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: and hanging out with us across the country, Biden right

638
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 1: now is addressing the nation. It's not it's being carried

639
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: on CNN on healthcare costs. You know what he's really doing, folks. Now,

640
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: they're going to go back to this issue because they

641
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: thought this did very well for them in the twenty

642
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: eighteen election, the healthcare issue. Republicans were asleep at the

643
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: wheel on this one, did not do well on that,

644
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: and that was part of the way the Democrats did

645
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: well in the House races in twenty eighteen, So they're

646
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: go go into this, but it just goes to the

647
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: issue we're talking about before, about inflation and the debt.

648
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: They're just trying to bribe people with other people's money.

649
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really They're just looking to find ways

650
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: to move dollars around. They're not improving competition, they're not

651
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: improving actual delivery of healthcare anything like that. It's just

652
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: what subsidies can we direct in what ways that hides

653
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: the overall cost the American people, and that is effectively

654
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: redistribution of wealth through the healthcare system. That's why when

655
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 1: you're talking about healthcare costs, bringing it down, it just

656
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: means squeezing the balloon at one end so the balloon

657
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: gets bigger at the other. That's all they're really doing.

658
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: But this is the game to what they're gonna do

659
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 1: play stuff like this. They're gonna try to buy off

660
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,959
Speaker 1: just enough voters with what they say is the money

661
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: of other people, but is often of use just the

662
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: American people's money overall. It's an ugly truth, but when

663
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: the facts aren't on your side, you play to emotion,

664
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: and we know the facts are not going to be

665
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: on the Democrats side. On inflation, on schoolmasking, on COVID

666
00:35:55,160 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: response in general, on murder, on defunding the police, all

667
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: of these issues. They are fundamentally failing and the facts

668
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: are straightforward, transparent. They can't win on them, and so

669
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: they're going to try to run on emotion. All those

670
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: awful redneck white supremacists who don't want minorities to vote.

671
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: You have to stand up to them or else the

672
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: country falls apart. Do you think the pivot here to healthcare?

673
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: That was Biden speaking on this right now, they're clay.

674
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: This is exactly. It's almost like they're listening to the show. Though. Wait,

675
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: we gotta come up with an issue. We gotta go

676
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: up with a pitch, you know, because they gotta go

677
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 1: with something, and it can't be crime, the border, COVID,

678
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: all these things. I mean, they'll try on COVID, but

679
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: it's laughable. Speaking of crime. Cities have turned into, including

680
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: my own beloved New York City, health scapes in so

681
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: many ways, crising crime. Huge issues. You got to hear

682
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: the story about what's going on in San Francisco. The

683
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: open air drug markets stick around for that fleet. Travis

684
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:06,960
