1 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 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in our number two Monday edition, 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. I'm Clay Travis, he is 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton. We are talking about the biggest story that 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,479 Speaker 1: is going on right now anywhere in the world, and 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: it is Joe Biden having to come to grips with 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: the biggest stock market drop that he has seen in 8 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: his entire tenure. Buck Sex And I'm reading from the 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal article about this. It says the moves, 10 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: the stock market moves were reminiscent of trading patterns that 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: prevailed in the early days of the pandemic. Investors sold 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 1: shares of companies directly affected by restrictions on movement and 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: business while buying government bonds and stocks that stood to 14 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: benefit from renewed lockdowns. American Airlines, United Airlines, cruise operator 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: Carnival all saw their stock prices drop substantially. Stocks that 16 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: climbed on Monday, Kroger, which we all remember, Etsy which 17 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: is an online marketplace, and Peloton. And the big question 18 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: now is are we I hate to say it, Buck, 19 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: I really do, are we stumbling once more into March 20 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty all over again, I don't think so. 21 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be short lived with this 22 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: stock market to appear, at least the plunge that we're seeing, 23 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: because this is right now, it's panic driven. This is 24 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: panic selling at some level, and it's very unlikely we're 25 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: going to go back to I mean, I think it's 26 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: almost impossible we'll go back to where we were at 27 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: that phase. The market is an indicator of fear in 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: this moment. And as we know, if you if you 29 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: actually believe what the market was telling us back in 30 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: March or twenty twenty, if people thought, oh my gosh, 31 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: you know, the end is near, that was the wrong attitude, 32 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: because the market end up having a huge rally and 33 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: doing incredibly well. Selling in March of twenty twenty, well, 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: at least if you're a long term investor, was not 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: the right move. But what we are seeing is I 36 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: think a sense of economic anxiety that is reflected in 37 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: the market right now, in the stock market, but it's 38 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: reflected also from the Biden administration, which is why he 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: gave a speech today in which you trying to tell 40 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: everybody that things are better than you think they are. 41 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: Everything is going great, everything is working according to plan. Well, 42 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: what I was just gonna say, Buck, is usually you 43 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: don't give a speech during the time when the stock 44 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: market is open. That's been a long time, you know, 45 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: sort of tried and true political mechanism, because if the 46 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: stock market goes down while you are talking, then a 47 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: lot of people use it as sort of a sign 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 1: of your impotence. And that's exactly what happened with Joe 49 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Biden speaking earlier today. Stock market went down even more 50 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 1: after he talked. Amazing. When you think about how the 51 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: sales pitch for Biden, what was it in the summer 52 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: of twenty was that he would unite America, he would 53 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: calm things down, and he would help the middle class 54 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: afford stuff like gas and housing and groceries. Remember that 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: an economy that's from the bottom up in the middle 56 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: out right. I mean, now, I would want to say 57 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: it's hilarious, but it's also deeply depressing that that was 58 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: the sales pitch for Biden because on every front so far, 59 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: we haven't even talked about today and we should. We 60 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: should get into the fact that the latest numbers for 61 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: illegal crossings at the border twenty year high last month. 62 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: We've been discussing how it's it's a twenty year high 63 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: in the aggregate play since January for this year, but 64 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: last month alone, for the month the month of June 65 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, the highest illegal crossing. We have 66 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: the most open border we've ever had. We have an 67 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: economy that's right now. Obviously stock markets looking really shaky, 68 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: but also a lot of job openings that aren't filled. 69 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: You have a three plus trillion dollar stimulut not stimulus package. 70 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: All that's kind of what it feels like budget bill 71 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: they want to get through. Inflation is very real, and 72 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: Biden's going around trying to tell everybody that things are 73 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: actually just fun, that somehow this is all going according 74 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: to plan, which I find at some level just troubling 75 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: and hard to imagine that he really says this stuff, 76 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: It really believes this stuff, But this is what we're 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: being told it's all gonna be okay. Yeah, And I 78 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: think what's such a challenge about this is, in general, 79 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: we just are sitting in a really precarious spot. And Buck, 80 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: you and I were talking about this off air, and 81 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: certainly it's a conversation we're gonna have a lot of 82 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: on air as well. Is this stock market sell off 83 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: a reflection of increased fear? And if you want again, 84 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: we kind of laid out the hypotheses earlier. Buck, we 85 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: said there's two different paths. Right, this could be a 86 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: blip or this is a sign that the vaccines may 87 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: not be as effective as we had hoped. And you 88 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: can use some of the data to tell either side 89 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: of the story. Right Now, here's Biden from the speech 90 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: that was right before we came on air today. Biden 91 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: was going to tell everybody about about how the economy 92 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: is going, and it's just fine. As demand returns, there's 93 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: going to be global supply chain challenges. We've seen that 94 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: in semiconductors, which are used in automobiles, that global shortage 95 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: has slowed vehicle production, creating a temporary spiking car prices. 96 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: That's a real challenge. Lumber prices or another example, they 97 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: spiked early in our recovery, but in recent weeks they 98 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: began to fall. They've followed by more than fifty percent. 99 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: In the hospitality industry, prices are returning to where they 100 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: used to be. I want to be clear my administration 101 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: understands and if we were to ever experience unchecked inflation 102 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: over the long term, that would pose a real challenge 103 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: to our economy. While we're confident it is what we're 104 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: seeing today, we're gonna remain vigilant about any response that 105 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: is needed. Do you trust Joe Biden to be the 106 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: steward of this economy? Should anyone think one should? No? 107 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: I mean, look, this is this is the big You 108 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: could dislike Donald Trump on many different levels, and I 109 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: understand people who said, hey, he tweets too much, he's 110 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: frustrating to me, he leaves himself open to counterattack. I 111 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: understand all those criticism. There are people out there listening 112 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: to us right now who voted for Donald Trump in 113 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: spite of all those things. But you knew that on 114 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: the economy, Trump knew what he was talking about. From 115 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: a business perspective, I don't believe that Joe Biden has 116 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: any real knowledge of business or the economy because I 117 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: don't think he's ever had to have a real job 118 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: where he had to sit down and make a payroll 119 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: or prove that he could have a profit. The only 120 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: jobs he's created are the money laundering scheme for his 121 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: son with the five hundred thousand dollars paintings that people 122 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: are buying anonymously, by the way, so which is an 123 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: unbelievable story. So he's good at that. I mean, Joe 124 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: Biden knows, he knows how to get the griff going 125 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: real well for Biden family members. Of course, the corporate 126 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: Democrat media doesn't want to touch that. But but let's 127 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: look at where they really are right now. The promise 128 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: of Biden, the fundamental, the central promise of the Biden 129 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: campaign into the presidency, was that things would go back 130 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: to normal, that he would steer us out of the pandemic. Today, 131 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: it feels like everything else, crime awful, border awful, inflation 132 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: going up. You look at all these things. If on 133 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: top of that, their COVID plan, their vaccination stuff, all 134 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: the things that they've been pushing from the White House 135 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: down and I don't mean just vaccination in general, but 136 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: I mean they're they're, oh, we're the great stewards of 137 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: getting needles into people's arms, and we're going to convince everybody. 138 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: And the messaging around it play if if we go 139 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: back into us I mean, you think that we're heading 140 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: back into full on lockdowns. That is, that is what 141 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: I'm afraid of But if we head there, the Biden 142 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: administration in year one is a massive and catastrophic and 143 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: entirely predictable failure. And that's when I think people in 144 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: DC are seeing but you know what will happen? I 145 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: think I am. I am afraid, like I'm going out 146 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: Trump because that would be the most surprised what is 147 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: going to happen. Their game plan is going to shift 148 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: from Hey, we're going to return to normalcy. Two, we 149 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: can't return to normalcy because of Trump? Right if the 150 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: vaccines And look, I hope that this is important, right 151 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: because I want to be honest with our audience. We're 152 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: talking about data on the ground as it exists right now. 153 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: Right if you look at the numbers in England, the 154 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: overall number of COVID effect today as they are opening up, 155 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 1: England are approaching the all time high for COVID infections 156 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: that they have ever seen. I tweeted out a graphic 157 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: at Clay Travis. You can go look at this yourself. 158 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: That is the data right now. Data does not necessarily 159 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: mean that we know one hundred percent what the cause 160 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: of that is, right, It could be, It could be, 161 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: and I hope this is the case that we're just 162 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: doing a better job in England of testing and that 163 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: the vast majority of those people who are testing positive 164 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: it's the equivalent of a cold, and we're not going 165 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: to see a rise in hospitalization and we're not going 166 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: to see a rise in death. We won't know because 167 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: that sort of data follows by about a month. If 168 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: we do, then my concern, Buck is it's evidence that 169 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: there's something really going awry in our response that the 170 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: narrative of hey, if we get enough people vaccinated, COVID's 171 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: just going to go away. The evidence suggests that that's 172 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: just not true. Why that would be. I hope that 173 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: we're going to have less hospitalization and less death, But 174 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: I'm apprehensive that people are going to see this data, 175 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: right Buck, that all the people out there who have 176 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: been supporting lockdowns are gonna say, you know what this means, 177 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: double masks, triple mask We've got to shut down schools 178 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: again in the Blue States. We've got to shut down businesses. 179 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: We need targeted lockdowns to stop the spread of COVID. 180 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: My concern is that by the fall and winter of 181 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, we could be seeing a replay of 182 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: what happened in March of twenty twenty last year. I 183 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: think there's a concern among the Biden administrations, specifically in 184 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: addition to all the things you're laying out with when 185 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: it comes to COVID, that the agenda is stalled. We're 186 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: gonna be this This summer is starting to feel like 187 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: it's already passing us by here, We're gonna be in 188 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: recess soon. What is the Biden agenda? What have they accomplished? 189 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: What are they doing? What have the Democrats done with? 190 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: Remember the House in it and the presidency for all 191 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: intents and purposes. I mean, I know the Senator is 192 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: fifty fifty technically, but they can get things through by 193 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: a tie break from Kamala. What have they managed to do? 194 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: And if they give up the power, if they give 195 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: up the authority they have over our lives that's rooted 196 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: in this COVID state, what are they going to be 197 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: able to accomplish? What then becomes the reason for having 198 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: Democrats in charge? It's not the booming economy. And let's 199 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: all be very clear, everyone who was looking at the 200 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: end of COVID was thinking that the economy would be 201 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: a rocket ship because we had parties an artificial lockdown, 202 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: and we're out of that. I'm sorry, artificial recession. The 203 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: lockdown obviously was very real and made by them. Now 204 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: we're at a point where they're starting they're starting to 205 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: tell us, well, yeah, inflation's real. Yeah, jobs haven't come 206 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: back as quickly as we wanted. Yeah. Maybe what's the 207 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: point of having Democrats in charge? What is the upside 208 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: of democrats running things compared to where we were? That 209 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: is a question. I know Democrats will say, Oh, because 210 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: Trump is an in erectionist and the worst thing since 211 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: the Civil War, They're gonna talk crazy talk no matter what. 212 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: But for the persuadables for independence, it's a great point Bucket. Also, 213 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: remember this they used at the COVID as the rock 214 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: to try and drown Donald Trump. He couldn't escape it. 215 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: COVID is theirs now, and just as Trump couldn't escape COVID, 216 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: we may have Joe Biden aka Jimmy Carter two point 217 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: zero caught up in the same mess. We'll get into 218 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: this some more coming up here.

Welcome 252 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: back to the Clay Travison buck Sexton Show. I'm Buck, 253 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: He's Clay, and we had this breaking news story from 254 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: just the last hour or so, the first Capitol Hill rioter. 255 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: And it's amazing. I mean, they use the term insurrection 256 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: so much now, It's in so many news stories and 257 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: headlines that I worry that I'm going to start to 258 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: say it just from habit of reading it. Not that 259 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: I would ever declare this an insurrection. I was in 260 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: the CIA, I know something about coups. This was not 261 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,359 Speaker 1: a coup. And if a few people who were emotionally 262 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: disturbed who were present that day really believed they were 263 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: going to overthrow the government. Then that's an issue of 264 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: their delusion and not describing this in reality. Some guy 265 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: can push a shopping cart through Times Square saying the 266 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: end is near tomorrow, and that doesn't mean that everybody 267 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: should act like the world is ending, right. It doesn't 268 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: mean that you forget the rationality that you have to 269 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: apply to situations like this. But they don't want it 270 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: to be rational. In fact, they want Clay to make 271 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: this a situation where anybody who speaks out against us, 272 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: anybody who says this is severe. I mean eight months 273 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: for effectively trespassing on the floor of the Senate during 274 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: a riot. Democrats have in twenty twenty alone tried to 275 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: burn down a federal courthouse, tried to burn out a 276 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: historic church. I mean, did anyone get an eight month 277 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: sentence for any of that? I mean the double standard 278 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: of justice here is mind blowing. That is I think 279 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: the biggest takeaway here is we had months of riots 280 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: all throughout the country, and in fact, not only were 281 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: there almost no punishments that came from many of those riots, 282 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: but many of those people were not even charged with 283 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: crimes after being arrested, they were let go. There was 284 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: millions of dollars, probably tens of millions of dollars in 285 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: what would have been bail to be able to put 286 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: forward for anybody arrested during the middle of the riots 287 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: and in this particular incident. Now everything is being prosecuted 288 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: to the full of sucstent of the law. Let may 289 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: be clear. I said this when things were happening on 290 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: January sixth, I said, look, if we got to punish 291 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: people who break the law, that is one of the 292 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: ultimate lessons of ways to drive crime down is when 293 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: you collect and catch people who are breaking the law, 294 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: punish them. But what creates a lack of trust and 295 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: faith in the system is arbitrary punishment. It's not punishment, 296 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: it's arbitrary punishment. And I think you can look at 297 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: many of the results that are now coming down, compare 298 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: them with the results from the riots all through the summer, 299 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: and this is now looking like politically motivated, completely different 300 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: standards of punishment for behavior. I want to be very 301 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: clear that they use the system itself uses some of 302 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: the talking points that you'll hear constantly on CNN or 303 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: in the New York Times or wherever. The threat to 304 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: democracy claim is part of the enhancement. Here is part 305 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: of the justification for the severe sentence. Member. This is 306 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: not somebody who assaulted a police officer. This is not 307 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: somebody who even destroyed property. This is somebody who was 308 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: present and trespassed. That is what and therefore was obstructing 309 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: government administration. I believe that the sentence he could have 310 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: gotten was I mean, technically in the statute was twenty 311 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: years obstructing an official proceeding and give you sense of 312 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: how insane federal law actually is. But Clay, they said, 313 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: like each riod Or, this was in the filing. He 314 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: contributed to the collective threat to democracy. Let's come back 315 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: to that. This is Soviet style propaganda in a courtroom 316 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 1: to throw somebody in a cell for eighteen we'll come 317 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: back to in a moment. I want to hear your 318 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: thoughts on this. Two eight hundred two eight two two 319 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: eight eight two. But if we've learned anything in the 320 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: last year or so, it's that there's nothing quite as 321 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: powerful for your health as your immune system hitting on 322 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: all cylinders.

But you know we're 328 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: all busy, right and fast food doesn't have this stuff, 329 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: so a lot of people don't actually get the nutrients 330 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: they need.

I'm 340 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: your host of this series, available wherever you listen to 341 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: podcast Tunnel to Towers Foundation and my pillow of both 342 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: sponsors Woman Again Clay Travis Buck Sexton rolling through the 343 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: Monday edition of the program Dal Jones Industrial Average as 344 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: we are speaking with you approaching a thousand point drop. 345 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden spoke earlier today. The market has continued to 346 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 1: fall since then, and the storyline of Joe Biden, as 347 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: you pointed out, Buck, was We're gonna be I'm gonna 348 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: be a uniter, not a divider. We're going to recover 349 00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: from COVID. And as I think it's fair to say, 350 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: nervousness surrounding COVID is building as we get into late July, 351 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: mask bandate reinstituted in LA numbers coming out of England 352 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 1: and Israel of increasing numbers of COVID cases. Certainly, with 353 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: the COVID cases increasing in the United States, we hope 354 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: that they are not going to be accompanied by as 355 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: simultaneous rise in hospitalizations and deaths. But if COVID isn't solved, Buck, 356 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: this is what Joe Biden ran his campaign on. This 357 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 1: is how he won. He hit in his basement and 358 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: said Donald Trump isn't taking COVID seriously enough. You have 359 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: to double mask, you have to triple mask. We will 360 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: solve it for you. All you need to do is 361 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: get a vaccine. If there's still uncertainty out there, then 362 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: maybe you lean even more into the culture war, because 363 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: what else do you have to point to as success. 364 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: Not the border, not certainly, inflation, not murder. It's not 365 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: actually the culture war, really, it's it's the make believe 366 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: civil war that they talk about here with the insurrection. 367 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it goes beyond even just the cultural 368 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: fights we have about CRT. They treat this, and they're 369 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: treating the incident on January sixth, the riot on January sixth, 370 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: as though it was a not just a threat to 371 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: democracy to get CNN viewers to tune in in larger number. Otherwise, 372 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: we know their audience has fallen off a cliff in 373 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: the last six months. But that's why they use those terms. Clay. 374 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: It's showing up in official proceedings now, it's showing up 375 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: in courtrooms and also in the justification that judges put 376 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: forward to hold people guilty of no violent crime or 377 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: even an attempt at a violent crime, as a threat 378 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: to democracy. It's they did this with Russia collusion too, 379 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: and some of us were pointing this out at the time. 380 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: Russia collusion is not even a crime. The crime would 381 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: have been conspiracy. Collision would be two companies working together 382 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: to fix prices or something like that. That's what happened 383 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: with social media. By the way, what the Biden administration 384 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 1: is trying to get to happen with big tech. And 385 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: yet what we see is that they create something that 386 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: sounds scary, and then that becomes the narrative and it's 387 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: used as a club to bludgeon their political opponents with. 388 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: But not just in rhetorical terms. They actually have the 389 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: weaponization of the system of the doj of the people 390 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: in charge against their political opponents based upon that narrative. 391 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: And that's why I mean eighteen months behind, eighteen months 392 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: behind bars. They wanted him to serve they wanted him 393 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, wait, he had eight months behind eight months, 394 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: eight months, thank you, eight months beyond bars. They wanted 395 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: him to serve eighteen months behind bars for an entirely 396 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: non violent crimemember. He didn't even destroy property. Now I'm 397 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: not saying that what he did is okay in the least. 398 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that people that were trespassing shouldn't. But 399 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: how many people who are Democrats who have trespassed in 400 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: state capitals or who have been parts of riots at 401 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 1: least present for riots that have engaged in illegal behavior 402 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 1: are getting eight month federal sentences. I can't think of 403 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: a single one. And this is one of the things 404 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: about the legal system in general. What creates a distrust 405 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: among the public is when like crimes are not treated 406 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: with like severity. And you had Kamala Harris out there 407 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: running around raising money to pay bail for people who 408 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: are arrested during the Black Lives Matter summer protest, and 409 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: she's a hero for doing so. And you have one 410 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: incident which is lawbreaking involving Republican voters, and the Democratic 411 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: Party is fixated on it. And look, we've been pretty straightforward. 412 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: I know you said the same thing, Buck, if you 413 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: break the law, you should be prosecuted. But you have 414 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: to prosecute people who are raking the law in similar 415 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: fashions to similar degrees. And we had an entire summer 416 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,239 Speaker 1: of Democrats running roughshod over federal property and a lot 417 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: of times they got arrested and let go with nothing 418 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: happening to them. I love it when we can give 419 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: not just examples, Clay, but almost contemporaneous ones of exactly 420 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: what we're talking about. So so today we have the 421 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: eight months sentence for the Capitol Hill Rider, and just 422 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: the fact that NBC News, ABC New CNN refers to 423 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: it as an insurrection as though that is yeah, when 424 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: when there's actually there are definitions of what would constitute 425 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: an insurrection, and a true insurrection could be prosecuted and 426 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: should be prosecuted under statutes that would involve whether it's 427 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: treason or sedition or just an armed insurrection. Period. Yet 428 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 1: here you have this guy facing eight months in prison. 429 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: Cycle back a few days. I wanted to mention this 430 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: and I'm getting to it now for everyone listening. The 431 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: federal prosecutors looking at the Hunter Biden finance probe, you know, 432 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: basically money laundering with Hunter Biden, which which I would 433 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: note now he feels so free to do whatever that 434 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: they're essentially letting him launder money with his half a 435 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: million dollar paintings to anonymous donors. They're doing it in 436 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: plain sight, they don't even care. That's what they really 437 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: think of the law. But you know, Clay, a few 438 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: days ago, it came out that the US Attorney David 439 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: Weiss for Delaware made sure to quote avoid taking any 440 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: actions that could alert the public to the existence of 441 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: the federal probe into Hunter Biden in a presidential election. 442 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: So he delayed a federal investment investigation, he delayed search warrants, 443 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: he delayed subpoenas, he delayed the judicial and prosecutorial process 444 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: to help out Hunter Biden. And he got praised for it. 445 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: And they're thinking, are like, oh, what a great job 446 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: of a prosecutor to not actually enforce the law, because 447 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: if you enforced the law, it might have lended legitimacy 448 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: to the idea which is which is out there that 449 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: you have that you have Hunter Biden engaging in rampant criminality. 450 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: And by the way, this is also ties in with 451 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: with our friend Jensaki, who was saying that she wanted 452 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: everybody banned if they were banned from one place, and 453 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: she's so focused on misinformation. Now. I don't know if 454 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: you saw this over the weekend, but this tweet of 455 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: hers cycled up and I thought was pretty interesting, which 456 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: is Jensaki said, you know again she White House directed 457 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: collusion is going on. But when that Hunter Biden's story 458 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: came out, she would immediately shared Hunter Biden's story is 459 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 1: Russian disinfo. Dozens of former Intel officials say that's a lie. Right, 460 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: she shared a lie on social media. By her own standard, 461 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: she should be banned by from every difference social media. 462 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: Camp Right, this is the absurdity of Joe Biden's policy 463 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: as it pertains to bid big tech being writ large. 464 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: There's actually no substance to it. It is a total failure. 465 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: We'll talk about this a little bit more when we 466 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: come back, but Buck, we're continuing to try to make 467 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: everybody feel a little bit healthier and a little bit better, right, 468 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: and generally healthier.

But behind the scenes, people 512 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: who you hear us occasionally mentioned have done a pretty 513 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: fantastic job of running It's the Rush teams, the best 514 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: team in the business.

Check that out. We did want to take 518 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: some calls, but before we get to the calls, I 519 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: just want to note that we have a cancel culture 520 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: situation to discuss with you in the third hour, and 521 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: I one thing that the Clay and I will always 522 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: do here is tell you the truth and make sure 523 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: that you know what you need to know to assess 524 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: where we're coming from on things. Black Rifle Coffee was 525 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,479 Speaker 1: the subject of a New York Times magazine profile over 526 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: the weekend, got a lot of attention and a lot 527 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: of people on the right are pretty angry. Now we're 528 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: going to have the Black Rifle CEO on, Evan Hafer, 529 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: and I want to tell you, while they're they're not 530 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: sponsors of this show, we're having them on to talk 531 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: about the cancel culture situation. They could be at some 532 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 1: point in the future. I've had them on as a 533 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: sponsor in the past. And I will also tell you 534 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: that I consider Evan and the founders of Black Rifle 535 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: to be friends. So Clay and I are going to 536 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: ask them what's going on here. But I want you 537 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: to know that here's a situation where someone that I think, 538 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: a group that I think has done some great stuff 539 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: is getting a lot of heat on the right, and 540 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: we want them to explain. We want them to be 541 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: able to tell you what's really going on here because 542 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: they say, Clay, it's a hit piece. Man. They got 543 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: taken out of context, and I think they should have 544 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: the right to make that case to everybody. Yeah. Look, 545 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 1: and we're in a good spot where we have the 546 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: biggest radio show in the country, and so sometimes when 547 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: controversies arise, people have options to go and talk to 548 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: a ton of different sources out there, right, And we have, 549 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: because of you guys, such a monumentally massive audience that 550 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: sometimes one of the most effective and efficient things to 551 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: do is go right to the biggest audience you can find. 552 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: And so that's why they want to come on and 553 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: talk talk with us and talk to you guys. So 554 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how this is going to go. 555 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: We're taking some of your calls in the meantime, we've 556 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: been we haven't done that yet so far. Today. Who 557 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: should we go to? First? Buck? Tom? And Ridgefields? Do? Tom? Yes? Yeah? 558 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: How are you guys? Tom at Connecticut? We're good? What's 559 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: going on? I just want to just preface what my 560 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: comments up by saying that I was at first plus 561 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: faithful listener for Russia Limbaugh. I'm missing gearly I think 562 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: that it was a little rough transition from not listening 563 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: to him and then listening to you guys. But you 564 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: do a great job, and I'm thankful that you're there 565 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: because there's such a void when you drive all day 566 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: for a living, you don't get to really commute commute 567 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: with people. And to hear that, it's reassuring. He was 568 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: a mentor, he was an inspiration. He told me to 569 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: seek facts on my own and how to find the 570 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: truth in of a massive media. Well, Tom, we shared 571 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: just you know, we share that with you. I mean, 572 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: Rush was a mentor on the air and then obviously 573 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: as a guest hosted him at guest hosted for him 574 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: for years. And Clay is inspired by Rush as well. 575 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: So we're with you on that. But what's your thought 576 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: about the Democrats? Okay, so my comment is this, I think, 577 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: looking back, and I'm going to powerphrase what was said, 578 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: but the greatest dissemination of disinformation throughout the media was 579 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. And that's because she had the biggest, largest 580 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: bully pulpit. And she said, and I'm paraphrasing, I would 581 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: not take the vaccine if Donald Trump, who's advocating or 582 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: promoting it. Now. This is the same vaccine that Biden 583 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 1: is now swearing by. And I would think since she 584 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: was able to get all to wall media coverage without 585 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: that SoundBite, that probably three hundred million people in the 586 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: United States heard what she said. Out of those, we 587 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: know at least seventy five seventy seven million people voted 588 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: for her and Joe Biden, So she got to influence 589 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: half the population of the United States to at least 590 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: be doubtful or in some way have some suspicion about 591 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: that vaccine because of what she said. Tom, you are 592 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: making and thank you so much for calling her from Connecticut. 593 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: You are making, Clay, He's an excellent point here. The 594 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: origins really in the least American political discourse of vaccine 595 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: hesitancy came from Democrats like Biden and harrassed themselves who 596 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: were saying, I mean, you know, maybe you can't trust 597 00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: a vaccine under Trump's FDA. They absolutely did it. There's 598 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: no doubt. And I think people I understand the argument 599 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: of hey, we need science to not be political, but 600 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: I don't understand also how anybody out there who has 601 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: listened to everything our public scientists have said since March 602 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty can come to any other conclusion other 603 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: than it's all political and I think it's unfortunate, but 604 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,759 Speaker 1: that's where we are, and that's why I'm afraid that 605 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: we're going to end up in buck another lockdown before 606 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 1: all is said and done in this process. That is 607 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: where we are heading. You got a New York City councilman. 608 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: Thank you producer Ali for sending us to us right now, 609 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,320 Speaker 1: New York City councilman saying he wants the mass mandate 610 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 1: back in New York, biggest city in the country, folks, 611 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: Ken in Texas, you got some thoughts on it, Clay 612 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:51,359 Speaker 1: and Buckets an honor to speak to you guys. The 613 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: politicians in California and Gavin Ducon in particular, are requiring 614 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: people who are vaccinated to wear a mask that is 615 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: clearly overdoing their authority. And I predict you guys there, yeah, 616 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,399 Speaker 1: we're listening to everybody the God. I predicted this last 617 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: year that when this COVID virus initially set in that 618 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: liberals were going to take advantage of this and use 619 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: it because they are absolutely into control. And now that 620 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: the Delta buried is coming back, they're looking their chops. 621 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,479 Speaker 1: They're loving every minute of it. It's time for these people, 622 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: these people in California anywhere else, if you're vaccinated, you 623 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: should not have to wear a mask. These people need 624 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: to stand up to this. I'll I'll just say, can 625 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,240 Speaker 1: I feel like you shouldn't don't wear a mask? Period? Serious? 626 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,760 Speaker 1: If there are the data doesn't reflect in Bucking mind's 627 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: mind again, and we try to use the actual data, 628 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,920 Speaker 1: the data doesn't reflect that masks have made any difference 629 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 1: at all if you compare different state outcomes based on 630 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: the way that they the choices that they made. In 631 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: other words, if you look at Florida and you look 632 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: at Texas and you compare them with California and New York, 633 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: Florida and Texas far less draconian in terms of what 634 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: they required compared to New York and California. Yet Florida 635 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: and Texas have lower rates of cod COVID infection COVID 636 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: deaths than those other places. And so what Buck and 637 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: I try to do is share data with you, real 638 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: facts and try to make sense of it. And sometimes 639 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: that can be challenging in real time. That's what we're 640 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: trying to do right now, is the stock market is 641 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 1: down nearly a thousand points. But Buck, when we come back, 642 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: we're going to be joined by the guys at Black 643 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: Rifle Coffee to talk about what they are going through 644 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,320 Speaker 1: right now as they find themselves at the center of 645 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 1: a media storm based on a New York Times article 646 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,400 Speaker 1: that went up on the front page in the New 647 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 1: York Times magazine over the weekend, and that should be 648 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 1: a pretty interesting conversation. We're gonna have a CEO, the 649 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,920 Speaker 1: founder of Black Rifle, on to talk about what's happening. 650 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 1: The Left came for them. We'll get into it. You're 651 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: listening to Clay Travis and Buck Sextons fun the EIB Network. 652 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 1: M
