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 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody to the Clay Travis 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show on this Tuesday, March first State 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: of the Union Day. Oh my, going to be a 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 1: creative writing exercise for those last minute changes to this speech, 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: that's for sure. I think it would be amazing if 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: the President's Joe Biden would just come out and be 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: honest and say, the state of our Union is not 9 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: so good because I'm bad at this job. Maybe somebody 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: else should take over. I mean, it would be an 11 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: amazing political moment. I don't expect anyone thinks that's gonna happen, 12 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: but we will tell you what we'll be talked about tonight. 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: We'll get into some of the previews out there in 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: the political media, some of the major themes. Our theme, 15 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: of course is Joe Biden is I thought he was 16 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: going to be bad at this Clay thought he was 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: going to be bad at being president. He has exceeded 18 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: our expectations in badness. I think there's no question about that. 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 1: But there's one thing that is near and dear to 20 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: our hearts here on the show right now, and of course, 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: later on we'll give you updates on everything else in 22 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: the new cycle. We will talk in a deep dive 23 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: session about the escalation and situation in Ukraine getting worse 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: as I anticipated it would. It's not going to be quick, 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: it's not going to be a limited conflict in terms 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: of duration, I think, or even well, we'll get there 27 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: in a bit. But in the meantime, we wanted to 28 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: talk to you about the mask situation because Clay, I 29 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: think this is in many ways the perfect preview of 30 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: what we should all expect tonight. Because mask masks all 31 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: of a sudden, drop it all over the place. I 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: no longer get the angry stairs of you're an evil 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: granny killer when I walk into a coffee shop. Whatever 34 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: that a mask on here in New York all of 35 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: a sudden, like magic. Jen Saki wants to say this 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: about the whole situation. I would say, the President is 37 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: very powerful, but he couldn't make us be in the 38 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: green zone that we're in right now in DC. That's 39 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: why we are not required. We're not going to be 40 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: required to wear masks starting tomorrow. So I would say 41 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: that for him, it had nothing to do with the 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: timing around the state of the Union. He wanted to 43 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: give the CDC the time to assess and make recommendations 44 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: that would be clear to the American public about what 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: their recommendations would be for mass squaring moving forward. I 46 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: just real quick, Clay, I just would say, if anyone 47 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: believes that, I don't even care what their part. If 48 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: anyone believes that, please don't vote, because you are not 49 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: able to think through problems of politics and policy in 50 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: a way that is even remotely sound. It is the 51 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: most obvious lie anybody could ever conjure, and she's saying 52 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: it all the time. It is think about this, Buck Friday, 53 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: the CDC comes out with the new guidelines. Those new guidelines, 54 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: by the way, are what allows there to be a 55 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: green area, because make no mistake, the overall rate of 56 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: COVID infection right now is still wildly higher than it 57 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: was for much of last year, and certainly wildly higher 58 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: than it was for much of twenty twenty when everything 59 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: shut down. There are way more cases of COVID right 60 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: now than there were in March of twenty twenty when 61 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: we did fifteen days to stop the spread. Remember all 62 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: that insanity two years ago. The reason why masks are 63 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: now being removed. Is because the CDC redefined what the 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: overall characterization of high levels of spread and everything else were. 65 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: So this is one hundred percent a political decision. This 66 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: is about the political science, not the science at all. 67 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: And what's so frustrating to many of us is we've 68 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: known this for so long that this was what was 69 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: going to happen. And the fact that you've got the 70 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: CDC on Friday, Buck, You've got New York State and 71 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: New York City over the weekend announcing their changes. You've 72 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: got California, Washington, and Oregon announcing their changes, all of 73 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: that happening before Joe Biden speaks tonight. Because Joe Biden's 74 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: polsters came out, Buck and said, you're getting hammered on this. 75 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: We have to change the trajectory. You need to declare 76 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: victory against COVID and move on, because that's where the 77 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: American public now is. But the problem is that's not 78 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: good enough, and this is what we're going to continue 79 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: to hammer off and on. You may get tired of 80 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: us saying it for the next eight months. First of all, 81 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: they're going to bring back COVID restrictions like even now 82 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: they're saying, well, we're doing away with this now while 83 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: we can, but we may bring them back, masks on kids, 84 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: social distancing, vaccine mandates, all of that. So it's not 85 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: going away. It's going away for some places for right now. 86 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: That's why the midterms have to be an evisceration. And 87 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: I appreciated what you said, Buck, because I think it's 88 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: it's the message that Republicans should run with. Biden's a disaster. 89 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: But the twenty twenty two midterms, while being partly a 90 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: referendum on Biden, are really a referendum on all the 91 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Senators and congressmen and your school board members and your 92 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: local administrators and your local officials who did this to us. 93 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: And we're wrong about everything. There have to be consequences 94 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: for all of these people being wrong about everything, and 95 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: those consequences need to be a red way the likes 96 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: of which we have not seen. Everybody needs to be 97 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: a single issue voter, and it's COVID failure. That's what 98 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: you are casting your ballot about. You're either voting for 99 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: freedom or voting for tyranny this fall. Everyone should know this. 100 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: That is actually a true way to put the choice. 101 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: That is before the American people in the midterm election. 102 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: And I know that it's only March, but friends, it's 103 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: this is going to creep up, creep up on us fast. 104 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: And the people who have been in charge, who have 105 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: been so wrong about everything, they're not humbled, They're not sorry. 106 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: They're not sitting around thinking how could we do better 107 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: next time? Their only their only thought process really in 108 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: terms of what will guide their actions and how they 109 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: will conduct themselves. Whether it's Biden, Democrats in the Senate, 110 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: the House, all the blue check doctors that have been 111 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: on CNN and MSNBC and writing for The New York 112 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: Times Washington Post constantly over two years who were wrong 113 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: about basically everything, None of them are saying to themselves, Wow, 114 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: maybe we should have listened to Clay Travis and Buck 115 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: Sexton show more, which would have been a smart thing 116 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: for them to come away think that's how bad things were. Buck. 117 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: If you and I had been in charge of American 118 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: COVID policy, the country would be in an infinitely better place. 119 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: Economy would be better, mental health across the country would 120 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: be better, kids would be better, did would be better off, 121 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: focus more on protecting and getting every single senior think 122 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: about that, think about the messaging damage, and I know 123 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: we have the whole other state of the Union. We're 124 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: gonna get into the economy and how they're going to 125 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: try to spin inflation. This is gonna be really tough. 126 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: You know. This is like, this is gonna be the 127 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: waiter who shows up and it's charging you three times 128 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: as much for your dinner as you thought it was 129 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: going to be and is explaining to you it's not 130 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: that expensive, it's not that bad. This is fine. You 131 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: love those French fries anyway. Play The reality of what 132 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: we have seen here during COVID is a collapse of 133 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: the elites in real time, a collapse of their credibility, 134 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: a collapse of there I would hope this is the 135 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: part of it that makes me determined their ability to 136 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: control us going forward. And they're going to fight with 137 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: everything they have against this. They're they're not thinking to themselves, 138 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: hold on a second, what is it that we can 139 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: do here that will bring the country back together? All 140 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: that really matters is maintaining power, staying in charge, and 141 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: being in a position to do all this stuff to 142 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: us again. And yeah, if we had been in a charge, 143 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: the country wouldn't better think of how much if instead 144 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: of trying to convince five year olds, Oh I saw, 145 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: I think you shared that data. Claus vaccine boots, for one, 146 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: was at five to twelve year old. Vaccines themselves for 147 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: five to eleven year olds have had virtually zero impact 148 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: in limiting your The kids are getting infected. So everybody 149 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: out there who rushed and I said, straight up, people 150 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: are gonna call you anti vax. I didn't get my 151 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,119 Speaker 1: five year old vacs. Now seven year old, I didn't 152 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: get my eleven year old vacs. I'm not going to 153 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: do it. Okay, five to eleven year olds zero positive 154 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: result when it comes to rates of infection based on 155 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: getting the COVID shot. And by the way, that's written 156 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: in the New York Times. Even the New York Times 157 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: is writing it for people out there who are like, oh, 158 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that I trust that data. If you 159 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: ran out and got your five to eleven year old 160 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: vaxed for COVID, you got them zero positive impact. Effectively, 161 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: they didn't need the vacs to start with, but they had. 162 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: The vacs had no impact on whether or not they 163 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: got COVID. And yet we could just go back three 164 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: or four months, and people were in hysterics about waiting 165 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: to get their children facts Oh my god, crying and 166 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: all the kids crying like, oh, we could finally get 167 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: the COVID shot. It's child abuse. I think they had 168 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: made their kids think they were afraid. Think of all 169 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: the sociopaths that were taking photos of themselves with their 170 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: with their writhing, crying children getting a shot in the arm. 171 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: They were the adults were trying to show everybody how 172 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: seriously they take the virus. People are idiots, and it's 173 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: terrifying we have to share a country with so many 174 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: millions of lib idiots. I'm just gonna be honest with you. 175 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 1: I mean, I actually thought, and this has been a 176 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: change in my perception of people around me. I thought, 177 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: even like the Democrats that I grew up around and 178 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: with in New York City, would be far more rational 179 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: during COVID than they were. I know, I wasn't gonna 180 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: get them to agree with me on a lot of 181 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: other things, but I figured they could realize that building 182 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,959 Speaker 1: a little miniature restaurant outside of a restaurant wasn't actually 183 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: doing anything from an epidemiological point of view. I figured 184 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: they could they could understand that when every single study 185 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: shows that there's almost zero globally transmission of COVID outside, 186 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: racing around New York City on a bicycle with an 187 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: N ninety five mask on is psychotic. I was wrong. 188 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: I was wrong. They were crazier than I thought. And 189 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: for people who ask me, why am I so angry 190 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: at Fauci? Had I see this in my Twitter threat? 191 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: You know Twitter responses, which I try to not look 192 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: at unless it's someone on our team, you know, one 193 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: of our people. But I see people will say, Fouci 194 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: did the best he can. You could have done any better? Really, 195 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: there was an alternate way to go. We talked about 196 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,479 Speaker 1: the alternate way to go. There was the Great Barrington Declaration. 197 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: The fact that there were seniors still who didn't get vaccinated, 198 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: and many of whom were distrustful of this whole situation 199 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: because of how much it was politicized. Just goes to 200 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: show you the messaging was a massive failure. Imagine if 201 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: we had all been united as you and I would. 202 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 1: We said all along our parents, I love nobody in 203 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: the world more than I love my parents. Right, you 204 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: feel the same way. I mean, you know you love 205 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: your immediate family members more than anything else. My parents 206 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: were vaccine and boost it. You said it to imagine 207 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: if we could have been united as a country. On Look, guys, 208 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: this really is a disease that threatens those sixty five 209 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: and up. We really know this. We all agree on this. 210 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: Let's make sure all of them know that it's really 211 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: in their interests, not mandating it, but really in their 212 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: interest to get the shot. It's a lot harder to 213 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: make that case when Fauci's running around saying, I think 214 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: you five year old is going to need an eight 215 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: dose regimen, maybe twelve doses. You know, people understandably see 216 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: them say these people are lunatics. And when college kids 217 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: are protesting because they're not having to wear masks, I 218 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: mean the entirety. And this is a good debate question 219 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: that we should have, I think going forward. Now that 220 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: every mask mandates being basically ended, in the VAX mandates 221 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: are being ended, when in the world are they going 222 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: to take it off for airplanes? Right? I mean, because 223 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: that's the last place and as the Southwest Airlines and 224 00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: American Airlines CEO said under oath, actually based on the 225 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: recirculated air the safest place probably that you could be 226 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: is on an airplane when it comes to whether or 227 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: not COVID is spreading there. But this idea that we 228 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: have to continue this cosmetic theater of sitting around and 229 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: pulling down your mask while you take a drink, and 230 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: then putting it back up and wearing it inside of 231 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: the airports. In general, it's madness. It's absolute madness. You 232 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: and I understand this. And our people are extended family, 233 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: which is everyone listening to this across the country. They 234 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: understand this too. This isn't over when they stop with 235 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: these mandates. It's over when they admit the mandates were 236 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: wrong and had no impact. Which is really why we 237 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: played that Saturday Night Live skit because this is where 238 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: we say Team Rationality is gaining members every single day, 239 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: and it's taken some people a long time to come 240 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: on board. But when Saturday Night Live is doing that skit, 241 00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: if you didn't see it, you can go see it 242 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: on Twitter. We played it for you. I think it's 243 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: up at clayinbuck dot com. When they're making fun of 244 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: the ridiculousness of all these restrictions, they're basically acknowledging that 245 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: they had no impact. That's what they're doing. They're not 246 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: saying it directly, but that's basically what they're not acknowledging. 247 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: Don't you wish fixing your car was simple?

This is a guy who's basically 269 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: an authoritarian gas station attendant, okay, with some legacy nuclear 270 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: weapons from the old Soviet Union. They their whole society 271 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: is hollowed out except for that energy. And so if 272 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: you want to hit him, hit him at the gas pump, 273 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: hit him, hit him with energy. Welcome back to the 274 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck show. That was the Governor of Florida, 275 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: Ron de Santis. Thanks shots at Vladimir Putin and bringing 276 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: up something that is really at the center of this 277 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: from the US perspective, how much can we do? What 278 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: should we do in response to the invasion of Ukraine? 279 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: Just as an update right now and what's going on, 280 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:24,239 Speaker 1: the capital of Kiev is increasingly coming under Russian airstrike 281 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: and artillery and missile strikes, and so that's likely to continue. 282 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: Some are saying there might be a true siege of 283 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: the capital city as Russian forces continue to move into 284 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: the country. Keep in mind, it's only a small portion 285 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: of the Russian forces that have already been prepositioned for 286 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: this invasion that have been deployed. Casualties are going up. 287 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: Civilian casualties going up with each passing day. This fighting 288 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: looks to be getting worse, and it does not seem 289 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: but there's any imminent negotiation going on. So now we 290 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: turn to what is the US and Western response of 291 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: this going to be? What levels are we willing to 292 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: take it to? And you had Rhnda Santis. They're talking 293 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: about the energy sector and how we have put sanctions, 294 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: we meeting the West generally, but America specifically on Russia 295 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: clay in order to create economic pressure. And the ruble 296 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: has fallen and the stock market is tanking over there, 297 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: and they're they're they're feeling it, but they're not feeling 298 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: it at an economic existential level, like we won't be 299 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: able to pay our bills, no milk in the store, 300 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: no bread on the shelves level. Instead, we have carved 301 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: out their energy sector and said, well, we're not going 302 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: to hit that. And here is saky White House Press 303 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: secretary trying to tell everybody, well, that's because it would 304 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: have big impacts on us here at home if we 305 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: were to do that play. We have taken steps we 306 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: have not taken some steps on energy sanctions in part 307 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: because we weigh that. Um, that doesn't mean they're off 308 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: the table, that remain. They remain on the table. But Europeans, 309 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: for example, are very concerned about further price spikes on gas. 310 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: In particular, their prices have gone up three hundred and 311 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: thirty five percent over the last through yes, over the 312 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 1: last year, and twenty six percent over the last five's days. 313 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: So sanctioning energy would affect Russia's income stream, certainly that 314 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: would be a reason to do it, but it would 315 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: also have extreme consequences on the world energy markets, particularly 316 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: for our allies in Europe. So I used as an 317 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: example because we have to weigh all of the factors 318 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: as we weigh whether to take additional steps. We have 319 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: additional steps we could take, but we consider all of 320 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: those factors as we make determinations. So Clay, she's basically 321 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: she is actually just saying, well, yeah, we could hit 322 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: Russia a lot harder economically, but that would hurt us 323 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: too economically, that would cause an increasing gas prices. I 324 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: think the Democrats realize this is a political vulnerability, which 325 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: is why more than anything else, although I'm sure they 326 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: also don't want to see higher prices across the board. 327 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: I think that they really this is a problem for 328 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: them going into the State of the Union, going into 329 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: the midterm election as well well. People are going to 330 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: start to put two and two together here. This isn't complicated. 331 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: You can't be social justice warrioring on Twitter and saying, oh, 332 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: look at what we're doing. We're pulling Russian vodka off 333 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: of our shelves. We're not going to buy Russian vodka. Meanwhile, 334 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: we are buying millions of barrels of oil, and the 335 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: price of oil literally as we are speaking right now, 336 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: has risen to the highest level since twenty fourteen, over 337 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a barrel. And this is where the 338 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: United States not maximizing its energy production, in particular in 339 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: the oil and gas for instance, Buck I saw cinder 340 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio point out that we are producing over one 341 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: million less gallons of oil per day, barrels of oil 342 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: per day than we were before Joe Biden took office. 343 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: Why did that happen because of this whole Green New 344 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: Deal energy process that they put in place. So you 345 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: can't have it both ways. You can't social justice warrior 346 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: for Ukraine and argue, hey, let's pour out all the 347 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: Russian vodka and meanwhile be passing money directly to Russia. 348 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: For buying a million barrels of oil from Russia every day, 349 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: which is what the United States is doing on average. 350 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: That means we're giving Russia over a hundred million dollars 351 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: a day while we're claiming that we are bringing to 352 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: bear economic sanctions upon them. You're fighting a battle with 353 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: one arm behind your back, and when that is occurring, 354 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: sooner or later, that dichotomy becomes apparent. If you are 355 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: going to stand up to Russia, then you're going to 356 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: have to bear the price of increased oil or you're 357 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to do what I think most people would 358 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: agree listening to this program, You're gonna have to produce 359 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: the highest amount of oil that the United Dates possibly 360 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: can in an effort to help to make up for 361 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: what you're losing from Russia in terms of production. Here's 362 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: Jen Psaki on this very issue this morning on Fox News, 363 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: talking about how the Keystone XEL pipeline would take a 364 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: long time to affect markets. We'll address this in a second. Listen. 365 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: The President shares the concern about any impact on gas prices, 366 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: on energy prices for the American people. And that's why 367 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: a range of options remain on the table. He already 368 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: recently tapped into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve just last fall, 369 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: which had an impact. But I would say the Pine 370 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: but the impact Jen that was pretty That was a 371 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: clip a paying but it doesn't last. But data the 372 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: policies you mentioned, I know Senator Senator Cotton and others 373 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: have mentioned these, they are not policies that would address 374 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: the issue at all. This Keystone pipeline. It would take 375 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: years for that to have an impact on prices. Obviously, 376 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: there are a range of reasons why the President opposes it, 377 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: but it wasn't functioning, isn't functioning. It would take years. Now, 378 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: let's be honest about this. This is purely ideologically and 379 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: emotionally driven for Democrats, the opposition not just a Keison 380 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: Xcel well, but specifically in that case, because it doesn't 381 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: stop the oil from the Canadian shale oil at shale 382 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: sand or whatever. You know, I forget what the technical 383 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: term for it is. It's gonna get pumped either way, right, 384 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna they're actually gonna be using that oil regardless. 385 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: So it doesn't change the emissions. It's just a question 386 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: of whether the US has a hand in it or 387 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: not with the pipeline. But Clay, they're hostile to fossil 388 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: fuel across the board. They're hostile to exploration, to exploration 389 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: on federal land. They make it more difficult for the 390 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: energy sector. They talk about shutting down, they brag about 391 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: shutting down aspects of the energy sector. So, yeah, it 392 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: would affect things maybe a few years. But the point 393 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: is they're on the wrong side of the issue because 394 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: we still live in a world that runs on fossil fuel. 395 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: And then you just stop acting like idiot children who 396 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: can't see them well, and everybody is going to slowly 397 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: realize this that you can't have sanctions or an embargo 398 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: against Russia and goods and carve out a massive exception 399 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: that allows the Russian economy to continue to flourish in 400 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: many ways. Right, So this is the essence of what 401 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: is going on, and it's fundamentally directly contradictory. You can't 402 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: sanction a country and argue that you're going to bring 403 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: them to their knees economically while you are simultaneously sending 404 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: them a hundred million dollars a day in oil money. 405 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't add up. Either you have to provide real 406 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:38,719 Speaker 1: sanctions without this massive loophole, or or you have to 407 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: figure out maybe both, but certainly you have to figure 408 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: out a way to make up for the oil that 409 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: right now we are sending money to Russia four and 410 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 1: produce that oil and gas ourselves, energy and dependence not 411 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: only for the United States, but also being able to 412 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: sell that to all the other countries that are otherwise 413 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: purchasing oil themselves. That's the essence of the issue, and 414 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: that's what more and more Americans, I think, are going 415 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: to see as this process plays itself out. Right now, 416 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: a lot of Americans suffer from debilitating and disabling pain. 417 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: You can only grin and bear it for so long. 418 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: How about trying a new solution from our friends at 419 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: relief Factor fifteen years of scientific research. Look, this is 420 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: one hundred percent drug free product. It addresses joint pain, knee, hip, back, neck, 421 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: and shoulder pain. Hundreds of thousands of people have ordered 422 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: relief Factor, about seventy percent of them go on to 423 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: order more. If you're currently in pain and you had 424 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: a seven and ten chance to eliminate it, those are 425 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: pretty good odds. What do you have to lose? Well. 426 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: Joseph from New Jersey took a shot shared his story 427 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: with us. He was in pain for years after a 428 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: van hit him when he was crossing a street in 429 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: New York City. Taking relief Factor, he said, felt good 430 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: and helped him feel much better. For the first time 431 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: in years, he could play with his kids again and 432 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: even do yard work. For him, it was like he 433 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: had gotten his life back.

I appreciate 441 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,959 Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us. It is State 442 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: of the Union Tuesday. As the chaos continues in Ukraine 443 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: and around the world, but we want to hear give 444 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 1: you an early preview of what we think Joe Biden 445 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,640 Speaker 1: is going to argue at his State of the Union 446 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: address and so I have got four things that I 447 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: am supremely confident in. Buck will be a part of 448 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: this State of the Union. All right. By the way, 449 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi has also joined Joe Biden in saying that 450 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: she's also not going to be wearing a mask, but 451 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 1: she said if she had young children or some sort 452 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: of immuno related disease, she would be wearing a mask. 453 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: The young children part of that. First of all, she's eighty, 454 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: she hasn't had young children sixty years. But the young 455 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: children part of this makes zero sense because statistically kids 456 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: are not in danger from COVID, and so it's a 457 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: totally nonsensical statement by her. The Party of Science yet 458 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: again demonstrating that they have no knowledge of actual science. 459 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: But it also flies directly in the face of Jensaki 460 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: attempting to argue that it's just coincidence that the mask 461 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: mandates are vanishing just in time for the State of 462 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: the Union. Buck, it's a big deal for Democrats, And 463 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: this is one of my four part things that I 464 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: believe Joe Biden is going to get into a State 465 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: of the Union. So let me start here. I think 466 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden will mention inflation but he will mention 467 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: inflation in the context of the reason why inflation exists. 468 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: This is the argument he's going to make is because 469 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: we have the largest economic expansion ever. We've created more 470 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: new jobs than any administration ever. Now that's a lie 471 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: because the jobs that we are getting are the jobs 472 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: that we forced people to leave back in March of 473 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and we still don't have the same number 474 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: of jobs. We have not recovered all of them going 475 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: all the way back of March of twenty twenty. But 476 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna say we have the greatest economy ever. The 477 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: inflation is a cost of that, and he's going to 478 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: pivot and argue Buck that the way to handle inflation 479 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: is by passing his Build Back Better Bill, which is 480 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: totally insane. You're not going to solve inflation by spending 481 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: trillions of dollars more. But that is prong one of 482 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: the four prongs that I'm confident he's going to argue. 483 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: Second one, he's going to talk about Ukraine in the 484 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: context of fighting for democracy and tie that in with 485 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: January sixth, then argue that that is a battle that 486 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: the United States will fight around the world, but also 487 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: is fighting on our own backyard, and he'll site January 488 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: sixth and argue that there was an attempt to overthrow 489 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: the government, even though it's not true as an insurrection. 490 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: He'll also it wouldn't surprise me if he takes a 491 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: dig at Donald Trump by saying Putin is not a genius, 492 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: he's a brutal dictator, something along those lines. I would 493 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: not be surprised. He's going to argue, and this is 494 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: why they're not wearing masks buck, He's going to argue 495 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: that they beat COVID thanks to his actions. And finally, 496 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: he's going to try and take a lap for success 497 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court, using diversity and inclusion as the 498 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: argue e meant there. Do you think I'm going for 499 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 1: for four? Do you think all four of those are 500 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: going to hit? Yeah? Yeah, I think that's right. I 501 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: think Clay, it'll be fascinating to watch a presidency that 502 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: has in year one less to cheer about and less 503 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: to show for one point nine trillion in partisan spending. 504 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: It's just Democrats who went without it earlier on in 505 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and so much of what was promised, 506 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: I mean the Biden agenda for example, couldn't even get 507 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: his own party to pass it. How they keep saying 508 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: it's so popular, and they keep saying, oh, but everyone 509 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: wants this really because apparently not. But there's gonna be 510 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: a lot of that. There's gonna be a lot of 511 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: the attempt to convince people that what they see, what 512 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: they've experienced, what the numbers say, somehow doesn't matter. That 513 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 1: Biden is operating at some level of four D chess. 514 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: You know, he's at the next level of Democrats strategicy, 515 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: where just give it time, it's all going to be amazing. Clay. 516 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: In every one of these areas where there has been 517 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: failure of this administration up to this point, none of 518 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: it is surprising. None of it is actually something that 519 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: wasn't foreseeable. You spend too much money, you get inflation, 520 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: You refuse to enforce the law at the border and 521 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: in the interior. When it comes to illegal immigration, you 522 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: get more legal immigration. You undermine cops, you defund police, 523 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: you have progressive prosecutors, you empty out the prisons, You're 524 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: going to have more crime. All of these things. There's 525 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: cause and effect, and that's what I think is so 526 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: damaging for the Democrats. A lot of these areas where 527 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: they've had failure. What happened in Afghanistan. The Afghan military, 528 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: after twenty years of training, crumbled into nothing and didn't 529 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: actually fight, and we had to run out of that 530 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: country as fast as we possibly could. People saw the 531 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: images themselves, right, they know what they've experienced under this administration. 532 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 1: And here's the other part of it. The memory of 533 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: all Trump is so terrifying, and the insurrection that only 534 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: got them so far. You know, the first six months, 535 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: all Biden had to say was your our democracy. It's 536 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: under threat, folks, underthreat. You know, everyone said, okay, fine, 537 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: he's so much better than not everyone listening to this, 538 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: But you know, the Democrats who voted for him, we're 539 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: a year in. What does this guy have to show 540 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: for it? I mean, tonight is really the state of 541 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: the dumpster fire addressed, because that's what Biden's administration has been. 542 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: And it'll be fascinating to watch. And I think it's 543 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: perfect that Biden and Pelosi no masks all of a sudden, 544 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: as if we could. You could not script, if you 545 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: were writing this as a screenplay, you could not write 546 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 1: a better moment to show the theatricality and politics behind 547 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: masking all along by if anyone should continue masking, it's Biden, 548 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: it's Pelosi, it's people in there basically in their eighties. 549 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: By the way, if you're in your eighties, stone mask 550 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't do anything. But the point is, if anyone should, 551 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: anybody was going to do it, you're right. And yet 552 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: and yet they're gonna walk around and act like they're 553 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: heroes and they've been right the whole time. It's just galling. 554 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's the level of brazenness of the lies 555 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: that we've been told, not just on COVID but on 556 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: every aspect of this. Clay Biden never should have been 557 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: the nominee, never should have been president. This is clear. 558 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: It's already clear, and Democrats recognize that at some level. 559 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: But what are they gonna do. They got the tiger 560 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: by the tail here. They don't want, they don't want 561 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: to deal with. The alternative scenario would be having him 562 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: step down for Kamala. We all know that Kamala is 563 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: probably a bigger liability for the Democrats from an electoral 564 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: perspective than Biden. So I don't know, they may talk, 565 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: you know, they'll be talk about Biden just loves it. 566 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: Jobs were are jobs, folks. Jobs. He just yells it 567 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: and gets all squinty and yells it, and you know 568 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: that'll be a big push. You'll say he's created all 569 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: these jobs. I don't think anybody's really gonna come away 570 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: from the first of all, no one's gonna remember the speech. 571 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: We'll talk about it tomorrow to analyze it. No one's 572 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: gonna remember it. And they got nothing, man, they got nothing. 573 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: I really do think that the pivot is going to 574 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: be that they beat COVID, like I always try to think. 575 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: And this may be the lawyer training in me, but 576 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,160 Speaker 1: one of the things about being a lawyer is sometimes 577 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: you look at the facts and you're like, I got 578 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: a bad side here. And this is where any lawyer 579 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: out there can tell you. It's a lot like being 580 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: a coach, you know. Sometimes it's it's how good a 581 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: talent you got. You got to try to put the 582 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: best game plan together, even when you've got a losing hand. 583 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: And Joe Biden has got maybe the worst hand in 584 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: the history of a first year presidency in any of 585 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: our lives. I mean that legitimately. I don't think that's hyperbole. 586 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that you can point. And I know 587 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: we got a lot of people have a lot of 588 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,479 Speaker 1: different ages. Buck you and I right around forty, some 589 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: people consider that young, you know, middle age, whatever you 590 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: want to call us two generations, and I know there's 591 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 1: people out there listening who were eighty and beyond. I 592 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: don't think no matter how old you are right now, 593 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: I don't think we have ever had an American presidency 594 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: in anyone's life who is listening right now that has 595 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: been as bad as Joe Biden's first year. And that's 596 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: not hyperbole, that's not me try. I know everybody wanted 597 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: to compare Biden to Jimmy Carter. I think at this 598 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: point it's unfair to Jimmy Carter. Biden is far worse 599 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: than Jimmy Carter ever was. And by the way, Jimmy 600 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: Carter was competent, he was intelligent, he was able to 601 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: at least fashion his own thoughts. Now, he didn't make 602 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: good choices and things did not go well for him. 603 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: But Jimmy Carter is like orders of magnitude greater. I 604 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: would trade Jimmy Carter, maybe even Jimmy Carter at this 605 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: age now for Joe Biden now and something. But certainly 606 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: thirty years ago Jimmy Carter. Yeah, something I like to 607 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: remind everybody about. As well as the storyline that was used, 608 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: the narrative that was used to get Joe Biden elected, 609 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: but aside the COVID pandemic and how they weaponize that, 610 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: that was important. But I'm saying another area to focus 611 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: on is this story that Joe Biden is a really 612 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: a decent, warm, friendly, better kind of politician. You know, 613 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: he's Grandpa Joe riding the Amtrak chow chow to work 614 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: every day. You know, he's just one of the guys, 615 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: total bull I mean, yeah, when his son is not 616 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: getting paid eighty thousand dollars a month by Ukrainian oligarchs 617 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: are running around to Chinese hedge funds and saying But 618 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: put all that aside for a second. Here's the kind 619 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 1: of stuff that Joe Biden says even this week, and 620 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe he's a nice guy. We're gonna 621 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: keep pushing on this, and we're protecting our country's threshold liberty. 622 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: The sacred right to vote, which I've never seen is 623 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: under such attack. And it's all He's made it harder 624 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: for blacks to vote. But this is trying to be 625 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 1: able to figure out how to keep the black vote 626 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,760 Speaker 1: when it occurs from even county. It's just not true. 627 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: It's nasty, it's racial demagoguery, and he knows it, and 628 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't even He's not a nice guy at this point. Yeah, 629 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: I agree, he's not a nice guy. I don't know 630 00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: that he's smart enough to even know that the things 631 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: he's saying are not true now, and and smart maybe 632 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: the wrong word. I don't know that he's functionally with 633 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: it enough to even understand arguments and counter arguments now. 634 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,760 Speaker 1: I really don't have that sense if he's not reading 635 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: directly off a prompter. It's always difficult, I think, when 636 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: you're in the White House to be aware of what 637 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: the real world is like, because you're in that strange 638 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: universe of the White House, which is abnormal. What did 639 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: Harry Truman say? Being a president it's like trying to 640 00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: ride a tiger. I do think there's truth of that, 641 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: whether you're a Democrat or whether you're a Republican. But 642 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't think Joe Biden has any clue what's really 643 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: going on when he was wearing that mask, walking across 644 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: that grassy field at the White House yesterday, Buck. I 645 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,240 Speaker 1: watched that for a couple of minutes, watched him walk, 646 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, it is the very definition 647 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: of someone's home. The lights are on, but no one's home, right, 648 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no You can almost see it in 649 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,720 Speaker 1: the eyes. He doesn't have the cognitive ability to be aware. 650 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: And I know we've used this an all before, Buck, 651 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: but every day it feels more and more like Joe 652 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: Biden is. It's Thanksgiving, and Joe Biden is the elderly 653 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: relative at your Thanksgiving dinner who is unable to know 654 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,840 Speaker 1: what's going on, follow the conversation in any way be 655 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: cognizant of what the actual day to day activity is there.

I want to note that 703 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: it's possible you might hear something tonight in the state 704 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: of the Union address and in terms of how Democrats 705 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 1: are going to try to frame the issue of the 706 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: parental revolt against CRT in schools, and the way that 707 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: this was a mobilizing, unifying force going into the Virginia election. 708 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:06,240 Speaker 1: Remember the Democrat governor's race in New Jersey was actually 709 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 1: pretty close, which was remarkable. What do you think about it? 710 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: Very blue state Because of this phenomenon and the so yes, 711 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: the Democrats recognize that this is a major challenge to 712 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 1: them and it continues on the Whenever you see debates 713 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: over CRT, you have a lot of a lot of leftists. 714 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: You get very snide and they say, oh, you don't 715 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: know what it is, or oh that's not CRT or 716 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,880 Speaker 1: CRT is not being taught, and then it turns out 717 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: they have to back off because parents go will hold 718 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: on a second, look at this, Hold on a second, 719 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,600 Speaker 1: this video exists, or that video shows what they're teaching 720 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: in schools. This is I mean, if you pay enough attention, 721 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,960 Speaker 1: you'll just see it crossing the radar on social media 722 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: at some point, the video or either teaching materials at 723 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: UC Berkeley Professor Zeus Leonardo clear, did you see this 724 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 1: part of this on CRT if you see what this 725 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 1: guy has to say about I saw the headline, but 726 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: I haven't heard the audio. Why why your parents so 727 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,439 Speaker 1: far up other stuff being taught to their kids. Well, 728 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: when you get to the graduate level of CRT indoctrination, 729 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: if you will, you'll hear things. Isn't UC Berkeley, which 730 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,759 Speaker 1: is supposed to be an elite school though all the 731 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:20,320 Speaker 1: elite schools now are basically social social justice factories of lunacy. 732 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: And so that's why I'm coming up with this recent 733 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: understanding that to abolish whiteness is to abolish play people. 734 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,279 Speaker 1: And that's very uncomfortable perhaps, but it asks about our 735 00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: definitions of what races and what racial justice might leave. Okay, 736 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: So again Dager is asking the same question here. It's 737 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,240 Speaker 1: about this genuine class unity is not going to happen 738 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,880 Speaker 1: because within it by these images of racial struggles and 739 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:52,719 Speaker 1: gender struggles that prevent class unity from sort of happening 740 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: and prevents white working class posts as cheving their goal. Here, 741 00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: the pathetic little Marxist said their clay to abolish whiteness 742 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:06,359 Speaker 1: is to abolish white people. Oh okay, it seems kind 743 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 1: of like a bad thing to abolish a race of 744 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 1: people I don't know, kind of a genocide. Big picture, 745 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 1: there is no good response here, which is why we're 746 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 1: eight months basically. By the way, today is the first 747 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 1: primary that I'm aware of State of Texas. Many of 748 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: you out there listening right now going to vote in 749 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: the Texas Democrat and Republican primaries today. But if you 750 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:38,719 Speaker 1: are paying attention, what you cannot allow to happen is 751 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: for eight months of whitewashing on COVID to convince you 752 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: that somehow the Democrats solve COVID, because that's they're opening for, 753 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: that's their opening. You know, I would say, fuselage here, 754 00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,759 Speaker 1: fuselate that they're going to have an interesting word that 755 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,839 Speaker 1: they're going to have tonight in the in the State 756 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: of the Union. They are going to begin the argument 757 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden beat COVID because they are aware that 758 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:08,920 Speaker 1: there is nothing else that they can argue on. Behalf 759 00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:14,680 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden. Inflations and disaster, murderates, skyrocketing borders, a mess, Afghanistan, Ukraine, 760 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 1: all of it's a failure. The only thing they can 761 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,560 Speaker 1: argue is COVID, and they are going to try to 762 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,800 Speaker 1: argue with every fiber of their being that they solved COVID. 763 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,839 Speaker 1: Our freedoms were first defined in our Constitution. It took 764 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 1: all of forty four hundred words to define them, written 765 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: longhand by a single individual, and signed by thirty nine 766 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: of the forty two delegates and attendance of the Constitutional Convention. 767 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 1: Benjamin Franklin was the oldest at eighty two. The youngest 768 00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,480 Speaker 1: twenty six year old Jonathan Dayton. He was a delegate 769 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 1: from New Jersey. It took a hundred days to frame 770 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,320 Speaker 1: the words and meaning of this enduring document. Not a 771 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: college more perfectly skilled and suited than Hillsdale College to 772 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,480 Speaker 1: teach each of us about this document and it's impact 773 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: on our lives.
