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 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Second hour of The Clay Travis and 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show starts. Now, they are lying to you, 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: and it's the point that's true of so many things. 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: But the Democrats, the anti Trump left, they constantly lie 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: to you, and they don't feel badly about it. They 7 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: don't care even when you catch them, because, as I've said, 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 1: the lining is the point. Let me give you an 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: example of what I mean here that you may have 10 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: seen some there's some coverage of this New York Post 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: on it a few others. This fellow named Jeremy Bash, 12 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: who had been the chief of staff I believe, at 13 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 1: the Department of Defense under a Democrat, and also chief 14 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: of staff at the CIA. These are the roles that 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: he has had in the past. He was just named 16 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: by the Y House in a in a statement to 17 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: the President, to President Joe Biden's Intelligence Advisory Board. Now 18 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: this is interesting to a lot of people because Jeremy 19 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: Bash is one of the fifty or so people who 20 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: signed his name to the This is the Hunter Biden 21 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: laptop is disinformation. Trust us. We're super smart intelligence professionals. 22 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: We're out there. We know all the super secrets, and 23 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: you can trust us. Nobody with an IQ above room 24 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: temperature really thought the Hunter Biden laptop was an elaborate 25 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: Russian scheme. But they were desperate. It was a super 26 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: narrow election. You have forty thousand votes spread over a 27 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: few states go in a different way, even with all 28 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: the shenanigans, even with all the legal changes and legal questions, 29 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: forty thousand votes go a different way, and you have 30 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: a different president. So there was a desperation. My point 31 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 1: in bringing up the Jeremy Bash situation is that this 32 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: is one of the great advantages Clay that the Libs have. 33 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: They take care of their knife fighters, the people that 34 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: do their dirty work end up on the boards of companies. 35 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: They get you know, medals of freedom, they get book deals, 36 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: they get hooked up. One thing the left does very well, 37 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,839 Speaker 1: the left, the Democrat Party. They are like the mafiosi 38 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: who do pay the family and you know, you go 39 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: to prison, but you keep the omerta. They're gonna take 40 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: care of your family. They're gonna, you know, bring over 41 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, food and et cetera, et cetera. We've all 42 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: seen good fellows. We know right, they'll take care of 43 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: you when you're in prison. On the right, this is 44 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: one of our big failings. People that take a difficult stand, 45 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: people that stand on principle, or that get canceled because 46 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: not of the thing they did so much is their 47 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: previous work for the right. We said to them, yeah, well, 48 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, maybe they can start, like a start a 49 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: small business somewhere. Good luck to you, buddy. Really appreciate 50 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: all the work you did for the conservative cause. But 51 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: see you later. I don't want to be associated with 52 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: this person who's been canceled. I don't want to be 53 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: associated with this person who the left has targeted and destroyed. 54 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: And I just think that on the Russia collusion issue, 55 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 1: what you have seen is that they were all elevated. 56 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: They were all those people. I mean, here is just 57 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: just this one quickly, Clay James Clapper, for example, this 58 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: guy was obviously a source for a lot of the 59 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: CNN stuff on Russia collusion, became a CNN contributor. They're 60 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: straight up paying about interesting how that happens. Isn't that interesting? 61 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: Here he is saying something that I want to analyze 62 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: with you twelve. Yes, you always have to make a 63 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: worst case assumption. Once these documents are out of government custody, 64 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: where the government is not protected is not in the 65 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: position to protect these documents. They are in areas that 66 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: don't meet storage requirements for the protection of highly sense 67 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: of classified information. So that is the worst case assumption 68 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: that you have to make. What is the potential damage 69 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: that could be done to US intelligence capabilities? That is, 70 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: we're sources, methods, tradecraft compromise, and that can get very 71 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: personal in the case of human assets Clay. If they 72 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: were able to sneak in some spy to get into 73 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: a locked part of Mara Lago with surveillance cameras and 74 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: secret service there, who is able to secretly go through 75 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: thousands of pages of hard copy documents to find the 76 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: ten pages, the twenty five pages whatever it is that 77 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: are that are marked top secret. We're screwed, man, I mean, 78 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: it's all over. But this is what they do. This 79 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: is the fear mongering they engage in. Yeah, and the 80 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: interesting thing about not only the guy that they're protecting 81 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: associated with putting his name on a lie, which was 82 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: that this was Russian disinformation. And I gotta give credit 83 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: to our buddy Senator Ron Johnson, who all of you 84 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: should vote for in Wisconsin. Who is going to be 85 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: in a real battle there. Buck. He's pointing out what 86 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: did Facebook actually get told by the FBI right associated 87 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: with this Hunter Biden laptop and associated that the FBI 88 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: who had this guy whose name I need to look up. 89 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: Maybe one of our staff can text him. I don't 90 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: know we even need to mention his name. But there 91 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: are reports that this guy who protected Hunter Biden inside 92 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: of the FBI and was also in charge of election 93 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: integrity at the FBI doing videos telling all the American 94 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: people about how much they were protecting our elections has 95 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: been let go by the FBI. That he was walked 96 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: out on Friday. So what is going on inside the 97 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: FBI is something that needs to be investigated to an 98 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: incredible degree at this point. And I think that when 99 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: we talk about the way the FBI has interfered in 100 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: elections in the past, there's so many in the recent past. Yeah, 101 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: first of all, it seems to always be in a 102 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: way that dramatically improves the prospects of Democrats, which makes sense. 103 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: I mean, the same mentality, the same belief system that 104 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: people have that would lead them to think that evil 105 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: tyrant Fauci is some kind of a genius who's saving 106 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: us all despite all the evidence. Are the kind of 107 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: people who think that the FBI stands above and apart 108 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: from the actual executive branch chain of command and is 109 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: the praetorian guard of our democracy, if you will, and 110 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: by that they mean making sure Democrats keep getting elected. 111 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: Let's remember that when James Coomy came out and spoke 112 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: about the Hillary laptop classified information situation, Comy was breaking 113 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: with chain of command. It wasn't even just that he 114 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: came out and said nobody would make this. He's not 115 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,119 Speaker 1: a federal prosecutors the FBI director, he has no say 116 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: in prosecutorial decision making whatsoever. He can recommend something, but 117 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: I mean he has no determining ability. He does not 118 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: decide to prosecute or not prosecute. And it should have 119 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: been Loretta Lynch who is the one coming forward, if anyone, 120 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch should have had to come forward as Obama's 121 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: Department of Justice chief and say, yeah, we're not bringing 122 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: charges against Hillary. But that would have looked really bad. 123 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: Why would it have looked so bad? Not only because 124 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: of the obvious politics, but because of the sitdown with 125 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton on the tarmac in private, without the Secret 126 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: Service there to obviously discuss how this was going to 127 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: go down. So Comey coming forward was throwing himself in 128 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: front of that issue as well as the overall Hillary 129 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: classified emails fiasco, which, to your point, is why I'm 130 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: still stunned that Merrick Garland is allowed to be in 131 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: charge of this Donald Trump investigation in any way, because 132 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: the reason they didn't have Attorney General laure At A. 133 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: Lynch make that announcement about Hillary was because of the 134 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: at a minimum, the appearance of impropriety. Remember that conflict 135 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: in the law is not just about impropriety, it's about 136 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: the appearance of impropriety. How is there not a clear 137 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: appearance of impropriety when Merrick Garland is investigating his boss's 138 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: chief political rival, the idea that he is able to 139 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: do this at all. Democrats at least acknowledge this when 140 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: they got James Coomy to step out in front of 141 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: your point the train and effectively say this should not 142 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: be a prosecutable offense. It's the Department of Justice that 143 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: should have made that call, but they didn't because they 144 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: thought it would have looked improper. How do they not 145 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: have that same alarm bell going off right now with 146 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland investigating his boss's chief political rival. If we're 147 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: going to have a special council statute, how can this 148 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: special council statute not apply to what you just brought 149 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: up and to the obvious federal criminal jeopardy that the 150 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: president's son is in. I mean, Clay, they brought forward 151 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: the Democrats fight so dirty and we want to I 152 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: want to. You know, this is gonna be a theme. 153 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: We talked about a lot. You're hitting on what I 154 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: think is one of the top stories. We're probably the 155 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: only people just about that you're hearing say wait a minute, 156 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: Like a lot of you probably are having alarm bells 157 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: go off in your head. We've talked about it on 158 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: this program. You can't investigate your chief political rival. It 159 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: is crazy that this would even be allowed in any respect, 160 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: Democrat or Republican. By the way, Clay, they used a 161 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: special they got a special counsel on Russia collusion and 162 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: the firing of James Comey. They they used a special 163 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: counsel for the leak of a jess name Jeffords gave 164 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: him the special counsel, which is what got Trump so 165 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: angry because the Attorney General said, I can't conduct this. 166 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: If I remember correctly, I think Jim Jeffords was like, 167 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: I can't conduct this investment. It was um uh. It 168 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: wasn't Jim Jeffords. It was um for the Free talking 169 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: about the first AG from al you know, yeah, Trump's 170 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: first attornation session. Thanks Jack. I actually sat down for 171 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: a long form interview with him. I had to say 172 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: I had the phenomenon of sitting down with with Sessions 173 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: for the first time he had given an interview in 174 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: like six months, and then go sit down with Trump 175 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: and all Trump was saying was my my AG is terrible. 176 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh gosh, well I get it. 177 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: Like Sessions recused himself from that investigation, which necessitated an IG. 178 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: But the fact that nobody's even suggesting that hardily in 179 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: anywhere in the media. It's crazy that we got this going. Hey, 180 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: this is the Democrat. Let's do lawfare all the time. 181 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: Democrats are the people that try to get their rival 182 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: fired from the office for leaving five minutes early and 183 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: saying that it's time theft. Like these people are petty 184 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: and vicious. They got a special counsel on the Valerie 185 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: plane issue. They knew from the very beginning what happened there. 186 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: And what happened was that somebody let it slip that 187 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: they knew the identity of something was Richard Armitage. They 188 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: knew from the beginning, and they kept going. Why did 189 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 1: they keep that going? Because they used the special counsel 190 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: as a weapon against their political opponents. We Republicans sit 191 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: around and we go, but what's fair? I want to 192 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: do what's fair? And the lip sit around saying, how 193 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: can we, you know, politically knife our enemies in the 194 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: dark of night without anybody knowing what's going on? And 195 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: we wonder how we have drooling idiot Biden running the country. 196 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: On Thursday, we're getting lectured on the importance of democracy 197 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: in a primetime address from Donald from Joe Biden.

I want to mention a little bit more 249 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: detail on the FBI situation. This was the Washington Times 250 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: reporting Their headline is top agent exits FBI amid charges 251 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: of political bias, undermining Hunter Byen Biden pro Again, this 252 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: is the Washington Times that is reporting this and Senator 253 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, who wants to have hearings into this one 254 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: of many reasons why if you're listening to us in 255 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: Wisconsin right now, you need to be out make sure 256 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: you vote here As we come up on two months 257 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: until the midterms, Senator Johnson says, I appreciate that this 258 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: man is no longer with the FBI, where it's alleged 259 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: he engaged in partisan activities. Still, he and other FBI 260 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: officials must be held accountable if they undermine my investigation 261 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: into the Biden families foreign financial entanglements. Why it matters 262 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: to such an extent who has control of the House 263 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: and the Senate is because we need to know everything 264 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: about these stories. We need to know who was briefing 265 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook to encourage him to believe Russian information. 266 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: This information was coming that helped to curtail the sharing 267 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: of the Hunter Biden laptop because buck the data all 268 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: reflects that if the Hunter Biden laptop story in October 269 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty had been covered, disseminated, discussed as a 270 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: normal story of that magnitude, would that Joe Biden would 271 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: have lost the twenty twenty election. And we don't even 272 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: need to get into all of the parameters that occurred 273 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: to allow him to win, but he would have lost 274 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: if that story had just been discussed. So you want 275 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: to talk about our sacred democracy, what does it mean 276 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: when the FBI is undermining legitimate reporting from the New 277 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: York Post that could have changed the outcome of the election. 278 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: Many people would have not voted for Joe Biden, who 279 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: did based on that story. This is a big story. 280 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: It's a monstrous story, and it should be investigated by 281 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: the Senate and the House. And the only way it's 282 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: going to happen is if we get a Republican House 283 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: and Senate. I mean, the suppression of information before an election. 284 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: If you're going to talk about threats to democracy, that 285 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: is a threat to accountability and governance. Yes, it is 286 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: a direct assault actually on that. And when the methods 287 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: of information dissemination are in on it, right, this is 288 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: the equivalent of all of a sudden right before an election. 289 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: If this were an earlier times. Oh, all the printing 290 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: presses have stopped. Sorry, no news can come out right now, guys, 291 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: So you're just gonna have to go with whatever you're 292 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: feeling right now. It's totally wrong, it's totally unethical. And 293 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: not only do Democrats do this, they want to keep 294 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: doing it. I mean they want to maintain this stranglehold 295 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: on information dissemination, the ability to This is why the 296 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: FBI saying they had some concerns about disinformation. The FBI 297 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: should shut up before an election, not be going around 298 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: meeting with social media companies about disinformation. That's not their job. Amen, Amen, 299 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: we need a massive investigation into this. I want to 300 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: run Johnson Lean that charge.

Our friend Blake Masters is in tight race 317 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: for the Senate set out in Arizona. Critical Senate contest 318 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: out there against Mark Kelly, who Clay rightly points out, 319 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: list the last time you heard a really great idea 320 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: or heard anything anything ever said anything? I couldn't think 321 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: of what his voice sounds like. Yeah, I know he 322 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: was an astronaut, that's all. That's pretty much his entire 323 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: political campaign. I used to be an astronaut. Yeah, it 324 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: seems Fetterman's campaign in Pennsylvania is I wear baggy sweatshirts, 325 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: and Kelly's campaign in Arizona is I was an astronaut. 326 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: And that's pretty much it. It seems like Fetterman is 327 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: wears hoodies and shorts pretty much all year round and 328 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: says that he's a Bernie acolyte and and our astronaut 329 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: for end in Arizona doesn't even care about the border. 330 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: I hope that all the people who work for a 331 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: living in Pennsylvania have to show up for a job 332 00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: that they must do to pay their bills. I would 333 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: find it. I would find it condescending for a politician 334 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: to be like, yeah, we're like big slumpy sweatshirts and shorts, 335 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: because I'm just like you. When his parents and his 336 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: family's paying all of his bills, he's basically like a 337 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: try what No. I was just gonna say, this is 338 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: such a big point to me. Buck. If you have 339 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: a family, and you're in your thirties and your forties 340 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: and you are healthy and your family, your parents are 341 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: paying for your family. I'm not talking about somebody who's 342 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: got a healthy condition or something bad like this. Guy 343 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: is up to that point, totally healthy, unable to provide 344 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: for his own family in his thirties and forties. So mom, 345 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: his mom and dad have to care for his family. 346 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: You shouldn't even be able to consider yourself to be 347 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: a decent human being if that occurs. Much less a 348 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: United States senator, I'm just saying, Fetterman has never had 349 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: a job job, you know, like a job in the 350 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: normal economy. He's showing up at all these players like hey, 351 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: I we're like a big baggy sweatshirt and my shorts, 352 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: and you know, I just look like I don't care 353 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: because you know, I'm just like you who like do 354 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: the things to make the money to live. It's like, no, dude, 355 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: you know this is a little It's a little bit 356 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: like with some politicians all of a sudden they start 357 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: wearing like Carhart jackets they've never worn before. Like, yeah, 358 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm just like a working class yea, a different accent 359 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: depending on what exactly. It's like, don't do that, you know, 360 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: people work hard, show respect. Don't do this. Oh yeah, 361 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: look at me with my Carhart work gloves on. As 362 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: a politician has never actually done one of these jobs anyway, 363 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: But they're going back to Masters. But it is important 364 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: rule of thumb, and anytime a politician has a brand 365 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: new Carhart outfit when they're on the campaign trail, you 366 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: should think twice about who this person really is and 367 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: what they're doing. If it's if they've had it for 368 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,239 Speaker 1: ten years, great, if they're the real deal. But if 369 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, it's like the ones 370 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: who they're like, yeah, I love to go hunt, and 371 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: it's like, do you know which side the bullets actually 372 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: come out of? I'm wondering. But so Blake Masters run 373 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: against Kelly and here's what end up happening. He got 374 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: he got into a scuffle on Twitter or kerfuffle on 375 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: Twitter because of this. He tweeted something about the AP. 376 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: The Associated Press wrote this report about how great it 377 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: is that there's more diversity at the FED at the 378 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve than ever before. Okay, so Masters tweeted about this. 379 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: Finally a compelling explanation for why our economy is doing 380 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: so well. More female, black and gay officials I'm quoting 381 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: here contributing to the Central Bank's interest rate decisions than 382 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: at any time, and it's one hundred and nine year history. 383 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: End quote. Now, of course there was all this backlash 384 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: to this, and here is Blake Matt. He made a 385 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: video about this. Here is what he says in the video. Well, 386 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: this tweet made people. Matt Newsweek for oh, Blake said 387 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: that women and minorities are hurting the economy. Fake news. Look, 388 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: I don't care if every single employee at the FED 389 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: is a black lesbian, as long as they're hiring for 390 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: their competence and not because of what they look like 391 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: or who they sleep with. News for Joe Biden. We 392 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: are done with this affirmative action regime. You know, I 393 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: can't think of a single policy since the end of 394 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: Jim Crow that's been worse or more divisive for race 395 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: relations in this country. Race quotas are wrong. Gender quotas 396 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 1: are wrong, they're unjust, they're illegal. But the Democrats are 397 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: addicted to this kind of identity politics, Scarbors. They just 398 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: care about how you look, not whether you're the best 399 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: qualified or whether you can do the best job. Everything 400 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: he's saying there is true that this is wrong. It 401 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: is unethical to make decisions about somebody based on skin color, hiring, 402 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: letting them into a school, whatever the case may be. 403 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: The Supreme Court is taking this up in just a 404 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: few months. They'll hear the arguments. Republicans have got to 405 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: lean in on this stuff. I mean, the racial entitlement 406 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: regime needs people to go at it all in and 407 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: make the case buck every time that you need something 408 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: really important done in your life, do you care about 409 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: anything other than excellence. Let me give you an example. 410 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: If you suddenly or a member of your family needed 411 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: to have life saving surgery for some sort of illness, 412 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: would you care anything about your doctor other than whether 413 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: he or she was the absolute best at their craft? 414 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 1: They answer, of course, no matter who we're listening to 415 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: right now, is you want the best? When you get 416 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 1: in an airplane, do you feel better if the pilot 417 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: is cosmetically diverse or do you feel better if the 418 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 1: pilot says yeah, you know, I spent thirty years in 419 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: the military as one of their top aviators, and then 420 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: I decided to come over into commercial air aviation. I'm 421 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: gonna be like, hey, you know what, I feel pretty 422 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: confident about the guy or the girl who is flying 423 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: my plane. I want the absolute best, period. That's what 424 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: America represents. The meritocracy to your plane. Example, any American 425 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: right now, gets on a plane, and let's say they 426 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: go and they speak to the pilot for a second. 427 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes that you know, the door will be open. Let's 428 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: say let's see they they see a Native American pilot 429 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: who sitting there? He says, you know, oh, it explains 430 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: he's Native American. He says, I'm a Native American pilot, 431 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: and I also flew in the top gun program for 432 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: the United States Navy for fifteen years. You're like, awesome, sweet, Yes, 433 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: Let's say you walk into another plane. You see a 434 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: guy there named Bob. Bob's a white guy, and you're like, Bob, 435 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: how do you get this job? And he's like, oh, 436 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: you know, he's like, my dad's a high level executive 437 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: at the airline. Yeah. Yeah, you want not that excited. 438 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: We all understand what merit actually means here. We want 439 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: the first pilot, right. It's but the problem that you 440 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: run up against here is that people want a system. 441 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 1: They want a system whereby you can change what merit 442 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: is and how it is, gauge and effect the outcome, 443 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: and demand that everyone pretend there's no effect on merit 444 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,679 Speaker 1: in the outcome. It doesn't work. Let me give you 445 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: an easy example from the world of sports. Buck, every 446 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: member of the US men's basketball team, the national team 447 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: that played at the Olympics, is black, every single one. 448 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: There's only twelve or thirteen percent of the American population 449 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: that is black. If we had a perfectly representative United 450 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: States basketball team, we would take away the all black 451 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: team and replace it with white, Hispanic, Latina, Hispanic, Asian, 452 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: and black players right to perfectly approximate America. The reality is, 453 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: every single profession in the world is not going to 454 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,959 Speaker 1: perfectly represent what the population at large is because talent 455 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: is distributed differently in meritocracies some groups. I'll give you 456 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: another example. Look a look at the spelling Bee. Almost 457 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: every spelling champion for what the last forty years, as 458 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: long as the spelling Bee has been going on is Asian. 459 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: A huge number Indian. Is that because the spelling Bee 460 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: is biased against Indian spellers or is it because for 461 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: whatever reason that talent that group of people has decided 462 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: to focus on the spelling bee. Right, Certainly, the English 463 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: language is not biased in front of in recent immigrants, 464 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: which are overwhelmingly the people who win spelling bees. No, 465 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: we are never going to have any industry I really 466 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: believe this. That is a perfect approximation of the cosmetic 467 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: diversity in this country. We want the best, period, That's 468 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: what America is. That's what the meritocracy represents. So all 469 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: this cosmetic diversity BS Blake Masters is right about it, like, 470 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: we want people who do the job fabulously well such 471 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 1: that what they look like doesn't matter at all. And 472 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 1: it's it's also so unfit or an undermining to anybody 473 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: who's in a protected minority category. Who is you know, 474 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: we think about somebody like doctor Ben Carson, for example, 475 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: is a world class surgeon in his field, right, I 476 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: forget what the procedure was, but his world class surgeon 477 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: in his field. When there are people who are in 478 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: say the field of medicine, who are minorities, there are 479 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: going to be people they come across who say, well, 480 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: I know that we change standards, so they will make 481 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: improper assumptions about the ability of individuals like a doctor 482 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: Ben Carson, based upon the changing of the meritocracy, the 483 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: changing of the system to bring about this outcome that 484 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: the left thinks is more equitable, which is unfair to 485 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: people who have all the skills, have all the ability 486 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: and didn't benefit from it. Right. That's the other part 487 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,640 Speaker 1: of this that I think often gets overlooked. It's what 488 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden did to his own Supreme Court Justice nominee 489 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 1: Katangi Brown Jackson. If Joe Biden had said I'm going 490 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: to pick who I think is the best candidate to 491 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: replace Justice Bryer, then people, you know, he gives you 492 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: a list like Trump did, of twenty different names, and 493 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: he picks Katanji Brown Jackson. I think a lot of 494 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: people would have responded differently to her selection. Then saying 495 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: I guarantee to you that I'm going to pick a 496 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: black woman, which automatically eliminates ninety four percent of all 497 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: the people in the country who are not black women, 498 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: and then you pick a black woman, Well, how do 499 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: you argue that you pick the best man or woman 500 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: When you said on the precept as part of the precondition, 501 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm only going to pick a black woman. You have 502 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: undercut your own nominees legitimacy based on your identity politics. 503 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: I think Joe Biden did a disservice to Katanji Brown 504 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: Jackson in that respect.

You know what that's 512 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: rare because in America testosterone has been on a massive 513 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: decline down over the last fifty years by around fifty 514 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: percent according to some statistical measures.

Welcome back in 532 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: Clay Travis buck Sexton show closing out our number two. 533 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: A bunch of you have been waiting on the phone 534 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: lines to weigh in on a variety of topics through 535 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: the first two hours. Uh, let's go and dive in here. 536 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: Uh Ccilia in Agawam, Massachusetts. Uh, what you got for me? Hey, listen, 537 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: definitely give it a shot at harness training your cast. 538 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: We have a rescue that we've gotten Tember took us 539 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: a couple of months. If you ever want any advice, 540 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: you can reach out. You walk the cat like you 541 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: walk the cat on a leash. We do we do. 542 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: The important thing to remember about cats is, unlike dogs, 543 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: they kind of have to leave the way and sort 544 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: of hold on and follow along. But there they are trainable. 545 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: So the cat is walking you basically, is what you're 546 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: telling us. That's how this goes exactly it. It's a 547 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: great erropic exercise, you know, because you know they want 548 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: to run. So that's that's good. I mean our cats 549 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: one outside of the house. That's thank you for the call. 550 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna do Cute Cat Tuesday, by the way, because 551 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: we've gotten a hundreds and hundreds probably now in the 552 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: thousands of dog photos from this audience. It's gonna be 553 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 1: time for Cute Cat Tuesday. So Clay will realize that 554 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: his feline friends are worth all the scratch marks in 555 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: his nice, fancy leather chair he watches football in. Yeah, 556 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: I will say this. People might hear the show and think, oh, Clay, 557 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 1: you get to say everything you want. I am the 558 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: least important person in my house by far, even below 559 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: both of the cats. These cats are driving insane. I mean, 560 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: they really are. Is this decision that I gave in 561 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: to my three boys and my wife who bo My 562 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: wife wanted to go Egon and Spangler. But what I 563 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: would have thought, yeah, yeah, Well, my youngest son wanted 564 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: to name a cat Leo. I think Leo's the cat 565 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: in Kaiu. This is really diving into the deep end 566 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: of parent knowledge out there. For any of the moms 567 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: and dads, you're like rolling your eyes about having to 568 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: deal with Kaiu two. I think the cat's name in 569 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: Kayu is Leo. So the youngest kid got that one. 570 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: Dave in Wisconsin, up in Ron Johnson Territory, major battleground state, 571 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: what you got for us? All right, guys, I guess 572 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to be the one to say it. 573 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: Mark Kelly's entire political resume has nothing to do with 574 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: him being an astronaut. It has everything to do with 575 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: his wife being shot by someone that the left was 576 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: able to categorize his right leader full stop. Look, Gabby 577 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: Gifford's was shot, and there's no doubt that Mark kelly 578 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: political advocacy is tied to that incident. I just I 579 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: don't think he's been a very good senator. I don't 580 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: think you need to even go into his background of 581 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: how he got there. He just says I'm an astronaut 582 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: over and he's like a Democrat placeholder. You could replace 583 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: him with any other Democrat and you'd probably get the 584 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: same outcoming. There's nothing to him, and so yeah, we 585 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: see it. Dave another Dave, but this one in New Hampshire, 586 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: moving across the country, moving east. What's up, Dave? Hey, guys, Hi, 587 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: I love you. Listen every day. I'll think it's best. 588 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about the Trump raide, Hunter's laptop, 589 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: or even the hiring stuff. You were talking about energy crime, 590 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: the border, energy crime, the border that the Republicans are 591 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: we've taken our eye off the ball. I live in 592 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: New Hampshire. You know what it cost me to heat 593 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: for oil. So no one talks about Maggie Hassen up here. 594 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 1: She's infinitely beatable. You know again, it's a distraction. We're 595 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: getting clobbered with energy crime and the border. So that's 596 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: what I want. I want us to focus on that. 597 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about the Trump raide, the Hunter, laptop, hiring, prefences. 598 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't affect me. I'm gonna ge I got killed 599 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: last winner with oil. I'm about to get killed this 600 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: winter with oil. That's what we will fix all this 601 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: other stuff if we can take the house in the Senate. 602 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 1: But let's talk about what they've just They're destroying this 603 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: country with energy crime and the border. Look, Dave, I 604 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: will say, first of all, thank you so much. It's 605 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: a great call. It's a great reminder for us, and 606 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 1: we do Clay and I do this every day to 607 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: serve all of you who listen. That's why we're here. 608 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: I think we are probably more on the crime and 609 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: border issue than oh. I mean, we are as on 610 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: those issues as anyone, I should say, as on those 611 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: issues as anybody else in this space. I think we 612 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 1: could probably kick it up a notch on the energy 613 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: crisis that's looming though, as well. That would be the 614 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: one thing that I would say we could maybe drill 615 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,759 Speaker 1: down on more. Because Clay, it's gonna be a cold 616 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: winter in Europe. I know Talker was talking about that 617 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: last night. It's gonna be a cold winter in the 618 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: US too, No doubt We've got some good news coming 619 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 1: for you at the top of the next hour, pulling 620 00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: data out from Georgia on Brian Kemp against Stacy Abrahams 621 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: and Herschel Walker against Rafael Warnock. What is that telling us, 622 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: why does it matter and what is the story there? 623 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 1: Plus we're going to dive in some more to many 624 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: of these different battleground states. He just called from New 625 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 1: Hampshire talking about those three issues. We got five races. 626 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: Maybe we could make it six if we toss in 627 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, but they don't yet have a Republican nominee. 628 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: This is going to decide the direction of the country, 629 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: these five races. Update on Georgia. I believe we're going 630 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,120 Speaker 1: to be joined by herschel Walker later this week as well. 631 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: Final Hour next Tuesday edition.
