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 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Clay and Buck our two underway. Welcome 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: and everybody, thanks for hanging with us. We have the 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: highest average price of gas ever nationwide right now, and 5 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: it is hitting records day after day. Credit where it's due. 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: Biden does keep breaking records when it comes to high 7 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: price of gas inflation. So at least he's number one 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: in something. And now after really months of prevaricating on 9 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: this issue of oh, well, we can't do anything about 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: gas prices, and now they're saying, oh they're NPR reporting, 11 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: Biden is under pressure, so he's putting pressure on oil companies, 12 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: so apparently he can do something. And if he can 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: do something, now, why wasn't he doing something for the 14 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: last six months. You see, they change their two not 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: based on the reality of the market and prices that 16 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: people are dealing with, the pain at the pump that 17 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: you're feeling. They change based upon what the polls say 18 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: and what the politics dictate. And man, have they gotten 19 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: this one wrong the whole time. Biden's getting it wrong. 20 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: The White House is getting it wrong. Clay. Increasingly, I've 21 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: been telling people maybe Biden meant it when he said 22 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: that Hunter was the smartest person he knows, because this 23 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: White House is not impressive. You got Jennifer Granholm saying, yeah, 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: just go buy an electric vehicle. She's worth I see 25 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: about eight million dollars, so buying a Tesla's not some 26 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: big deal to her. But the best on this issue. 27 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: I just want you to know. These are These are 28 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: the Democrat in this case, a Democrat who was almost president, 29 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: who was the Democrat nominee, who has been Secretary of 30 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: State under Hillary sorry under Barack Obama, Thank god Hillary. 31 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: I was almost a Hillary Clinton presidency, whoops under a 32 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: Brack Boma presidency. And this guy, more than anyone else, 33 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: says the quiet part out loud, which is that the 34 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: Democrat elites actually think that the suffering that you're feeling, 35 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: as much as they don't like the politics of it, 36 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: they think that this is necessary for you to suffer through, 37 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: you know, you being the hoi POLOI because we need 38 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: to go to a green economy, energy security where he 39 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,079 Speaker 1: is driving a lot of the thoughts now about oh, 40 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: we need more drilling of guy, we need more drilling 41 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: of this. We need to go back to cole no 42 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: we don't. We absolutely don't, and we have to prevent 43 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: a false narrative from entering into this clay. That's John Kerry, 44 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: who flies private everywhere, who moved his yachts registration a 45 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: multimillion dollar yacht so that he could pay less taxes 46 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: on it. I think he went from Massachusetts Rhode Island 47 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: for yacht tax purposes. Who paid when he was running 48 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: for president? I think it was seven percent effective actual 49 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: acts on his investments. Who has married two, not one, 50 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: two very wealthy women. So this is a guy who's 51 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: good at spending money made by other men, and he 52 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: wants to at this point when people can't afford to 53 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: put gas in their cars, lecture you on, we don't 54 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: need more gas. Well, I appreciate the fact that he's 55 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: not suggesting that we all travel via kitesurfing. If you 56 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: remember that memorable windsurfing. Kitesurfing is actually kind of cool windsurfing. 57 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: And he was I think he was wearing the wet 58 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: suit that got a lot of attention. That's right. And 59 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 1: so look, John Kerry, as you mentioned, I believe now 60 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: is married to the Hinz heiress, and so he most billionaire. 61 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: He's a billionaire he mostly has made his money by 62 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: marrying very, very rich women. And I think we got 63 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: to have this flashback from John Kerry, because you're right. 64 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: What they really want is high gas prices, because they 65 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: want for energy, whether it's solar, whether it is electric, 66 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: whether it is wind turbines. They want all of that 67 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: to be more competitive in terms of cost right now, 68 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: when it's not. And this is him saying, hey, if 69 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: you happen to lose your job, you happen to lose 70 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: your job because oil and gas is an issue. And 71 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: by the way, hopefully nobody is right now. He told 72 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: those people who lost their jobs, go make solar panels. 73 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about out of touch. Listen to this. 74 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: You know you look at the consequences of black lung 75 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: for a minor for instance, and measure that against the 76 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: fastest growing job in the United States before COVID was 77 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: solar power technician. The same people can do those jobs, 78 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: but the choice of doing the solar power one now 79 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: is a better choice. Similarly, you have the second fastest 80 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: growing job pre COVID was wind turbine technician. This is happening. 81 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: Coal plants have been closing over the last twenty years, 82 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: So what President Biden wants to do is make sure 83 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: those folks have better choices, that they have alternatives, that 84 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: they can be the people who go to work to 85 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: make the solar panels. I mean telling people who are 86 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: losing their jobs go make solar panels or become a 87 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: wind turbine technician. I don't know where that would test 88 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: in terms of a political statement. Pretty bad, and I 89 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: want to play this in a sec I give a 90 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 1: heads up to the guys back there. How about Jennifer Granholm. 91 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: The other major talking point is if you don't like 92 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: gas prices, you should just go buy an electric vehicle, 93 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: which you mentioned earlier. This is what Debbie stab Now, 94 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: the senator from Michigan, which is a toss up state, 95 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: was bragging about her drive to Washington, DC and how 96 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: she was driving past all the gas stations and just 97 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: kind of laughing at how high the prices were. If 98 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: you are already struggling to pay for gas, if you're 99 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: struggling with five dollars a gallon gas, let me tell 100 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: you something. Your options aren't Hey, well, instead of struggling 101 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: for five dollar gas, let me buy a sixty thousand 102 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,559 Speaker 1: dollars vehicle. Those aren't fungible alternatives. That isn't the real 103 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: decision that Americans are facing right now. Whether it's Energy 104 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: Secretary Grant Home or Climate Zar Carry or anybody in 105 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: the Joe Biden orbit on this issue, they make it 106 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: very clear people are picking up on this. They're hearing 107 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: not not just Republicans Conservatives, people listen to talk radio. 108 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: The whole country is starting to figure out at some level, 109 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: at least those who are capable of processing new information, 110 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: that they really do look down on the dirty CO 111 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: two producing masses, that if you have to suffer because 112 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: we're going to save the planet, too bad. The problem 113 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: is that as people figure that out, they get annoyed because, 114 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: as we said, John Carry is a big private jet guy. 115 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the same yes, the same nonsense, 116 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: the same crap we saw with Al Gore, all these 117 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: bloviating jerks who are all going to save the planet, 118 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: but I fly everywhere in a G six. Well, the 119 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: rest of us right now are looking at the price 120 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: of gas and saying what is this? As we it's 121 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: not even just about the gas that goes in your car. 122 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: It's about the transport of food. It's about petroleum that 123 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: goes into products. Everything is getting more expensive, people's budgets, 124 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: People that have been showing up, working hard for years, 125 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: doing the right thing, thinking we're gonna get through COVID 126 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,559 Speaker 1: and everything is going to get better economically. I thought 127 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: that might happen. Of course, I overestimated the Democrats ability 128 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: to not be crazy. And here we are. You're hearing 129 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: it from carry, You're hearing it from Granham, from Debbie Stabin. 130 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Now they, on the one hand, despise fossil fuel usage 131 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: by the lessers, by the pores, by the people that 132 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: you know can't actually get a ninety, and also produce, 133 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: by the way, everybody who has to work in coal plants, 134 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: everybody who has to work I mean like you're really 135 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: looking down on those people in a substantial way. Think 136 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: about John Kerry's like, oh well, if you're a petroleum engineer, 137 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: you should just make solar panels. I mean, this is 138 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: a guy who hasn't had callouses on his hands in 139 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,119 Speaker 1: fifty years. I mean, give me a break. And yet 140 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: hearing what you see is a Democrat elite that has 141 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: pushed for exactly where we are, and they don't even 142 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: have the honesty because the Democrat Party is rooted in 143 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: the irrationality of catastrophic climate change. It's gonna destroy our species. 144 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: They don't even have the honesty and the courage of 145 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: their convictions to say, you know what, yeah, gas prices 146 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: are high and this is what it takes, because they 147 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: know the people are gonna say, really, okay, let's vote 148 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: on this one. Yeah. By the way, Buck, my grandfather, 149 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: who I was named after, eighth grade education, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. 150 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: He and his family members, a lot of them, worked 151 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: in coal mines. Now. He came down to Nashville where 152 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: I live now to work at DuPont in the Factory 153 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: during the nineteen thirties. But this idea that people who 154 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: have been working their entire lives and have a certain 155 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: skill set should suddenly change and become experts in solar 156 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: panels or wind turbines, it's not a reality and it's 157 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: not a rational choice that people who have been doing 158 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: these jobs for a long time can make. And let 159 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: me just say this too, I want to play this 160 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: cut because this is a Marie Antoinette let them eat 161 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: cake moment to me. For the Democrat Party, we're talking 162 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: about why Congressional District, Texas at thirty four flipped like 163 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: it did. There's a lot of Latinos out there listening 164 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: to this right now, a lot of Hispanic people. When 165 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: you're being told, hey, you should if you're dealing with 166 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: high gas prices, just go buy an electric vehicle. It's 167 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: among the most tone deaf comments that I've ever heard of. Politician. 168 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: Make listen to cut fourteen. If you filled up your 169 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: EV by charging, and you filled up your gas tank 170 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: with gasoline and you have the same sized tank, you 171 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: would save sixty dollars per Philip by going electric rather 172 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: than using gasoline. So it's very compelling case. But again 173 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: to your point, we want to bring down the price 174 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: at the point of purchase. Yeah, just go buy an 175 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: electric vehicle. If you're dealing if you're having to pay 176 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: a one hundred dollars to fill up your car right now, 177 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: and that's putting you in financial straits, I have the solution, 178 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: just go buy an electric vehicle. And also, if you're 179 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: living in an apartment and you wish you had more space, 180 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: you should just go buy a house, right I mean, 181 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: this is so tone deaf that it actually discussed me. 182 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: It's so many incompetent people all brought together in this 183 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: Biden White House. Imagine Buck, if they came to us 184 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: and they said, Hey, you guys need to talk to 185 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: the biggest radio audience in the country right now. I 186 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: know a lot of people in your audience are struggling 187 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: with high guys prices. You should tell them they should 188 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: go buy electric vehicles. We would both say, your absolute imbeciles. 189 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: I sat on a Bill Mars Show panel with Granholm, 190 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: and I remember thinking it is appalling that this woman 191 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: was the governor of any state. It would think from Canadas, 192 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: she's not eligible to be elected president. But they loved 193 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: her in the Democrat part. Not a smart person, not 194 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: a serious, pleasant surprise. But I just remember thinking, oh, 195 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: my gosh, Michigan, what has gone on here? What has 196 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: happened in the state of Michigan. But you're seeing that 197 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: there's a dissonance here. On the one hand, they care 198 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: so much about saving the planet and draw and they 199 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 1: say we're gonna have to spend more, got to go solar, 200 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: gotta go greed, and got to do all these things. 201 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: And now Biden, because they're just hemorrhaging in the polls 202 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: or hemorrhaging support Biden saying, well, I'm gonna what They're 203 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: gonna cut the profits of oil companies by that demand 204 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: more production, which is just bonkers. What do they think 205 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: they're doing. They don't even know how these industries work 206 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: that they want to not only regulate but do some 207 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: confiscatory profit season. But I just did a quick search 208 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: of this Clay. I thought this was interesting because, you know, 209 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: just become a solar panel worker. I'm one of one 210 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: of the biggest job recruiting sites in the country. While 211 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: we're sitting here, just to check this out, average oil 212 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: rig worker in America seventy thousand dollars a year. Average 213 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: solar energy worker in America median salary of forty six 214 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. I've made in the forties and 215 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: lived off of it, and I've made in the seventies 216 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: and lived off of it. It's a big difference, folks. 217 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: It helps a lot. That extra twenty or thirty k 218 00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: helps a lot. It's a massive difference. And moreover, it's 219 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: just insulting, right because these are not fungible jobs. And 220 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: to me, it just demonstrates to your point on this 221 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: idea of an excess profits tax. First of all, how 222 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: is that going to help in any way with the 223 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: overall cost of oil and gas? Making oil and gas 224 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: companies less profitable is not going to encourage them to 225 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: invest more to produce more oil and gas. It would 226 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: actually do the exact opposite, because if they're making less money, 227 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: they have less money to invest. And if you compare, 228 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: and I know almost no one in the media will 229 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: I was reading this morning, if you actually look at 230 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: the profits that were produced in the Obama years for 231 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: oil and gas companies, they actually were more profitable than 232 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: most of these oil and gas companies were in twenty 233 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: twenty one. And remember a lot of oil and gas 234 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: companies are coming off twenty twenty when the overall demand 235 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: because of the lockdown, the shutdowns, the lack of people 236 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: going to work for gas crater. It wasn't the very 237 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: least two years ago, buck, where the price of oil 238 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: and gas went negative. Remember how crazy that was when 239 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: you had that scenario where all of a sudden you 240 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: could buy the future deliveries on the oil and gas 241 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: for negative dollars because suddenly there was zero demand out there. 242 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: It's just an embarrassment. A lack of understanding of basic 243 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: economics and also an insult to all the working people 244 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: out there the arguments that the Biden administration is making 245 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: right now. And that is why a lot of you 246 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: out there I want to try and save some money 247 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: on some great products, and our guys at my Pillow 248 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: will hook you up.

Appreciate all of 265 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: you hanging out with us, powering through the show. As 266 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: we come up on the one year anniversary of the program. 267 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you who have made that first year 268 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: so much fun. And I wanted to hit a couple 269 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: of different stories that are out there which are basically lies. 270 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: And this is DNC Advisor Cedric Richmond. Inflations at eight 271 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: point six percent, a forty plus year high, and really 272 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: Democrats don't have any explanations for it at all, And 273 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna have some fun clips for you of potentially 274 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: trying to explain it on Morning Joe on MSNBC in 275 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: a moment. But first, this is a legitimate argument that 276 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: they're making. The reason why inflation is an issue is 277 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: because they blocked Joe Biden's agenda. Now keep in mind, 278 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: the only reason inflation is not fifteen or twenty percent 279 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: right now is because Republicans actually blocked Biden's agenda. So 280 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: this is the why. But I just want you to 281 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: be able to hear it. Democrats block What did I say? 282 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: You said? Republicans block Biden's agenda. True, but also you 283 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: got mansion and you got Cinema involved. But yes, without 284 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: unanimous Democrat the Republican opposition, this would have been even worse. 285 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: I just want you to hear this argument so you're 286 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: prepared for it if someone tries to use it on you. 287 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: Here is that argument cut eight Republicans purposely obstructing it 288 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: and keeping it from happening. Then at the same time 289 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: saying inflation is high and we know we have work 290 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: to do there, but the Republican opposition, just for the 291 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: sake of opposition to legislation that would bring household costs 292 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: down is what's continuing to spark it. But the President 293 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: also laid out his plan to continue to deal with inflation, 294 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: to continue to deal with rising gas prices, he wants 295 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: to continue to pay down the debt. And the question becomes, 296 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: why won't the Republicans really seriously take up the end 297 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: of the President's agenda, which would allow him to tax 298 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: the rich so that we can continue to pay down 299 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: the debt, reduce the deficit, which would also reduce inflation. 300 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much there's so much wrong there 301 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: that it's not even right to call it wrong. That 302 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: was just that was going off the rails in many 303 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: directions at the same time. I don't even know what 304 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,359 Speaker 1: he thinks he's saying there, Really, Clay, anytime any Democrat 305 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: tells you we have work to do from now until 306 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: election day, I want everyone to hear we still have 307 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: work to do. Is a Democrat subconsciously saying, Wow, we 308 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: messed up and we're bad at our jobs. Yeah. And look, 309 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: we played earlier some cuts from CNN about Joe Biden 310 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: being incompetent. I think this is interesting. Harry Inton on 311 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: CNN absolutely shreds Joe Biden over inflation, saying he's doing 312 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: worse than Jimmy Carter in the minds of voters. Listen 313 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: to this CNN now taking out the shots on Joe Biden. 314 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: This is the worst consumer sentiment ever measured by the 315 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: University of Michigan, going all the way back since nineteen 316 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two. And how does prison Biden's performance? Right? Awful? 317 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: I mean I knew that was the answer, but the 318 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: answer is awful. I mean, you know, I'll compare it 319 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,239 Speaker 1: to Carter at this point in his presence here right, 320 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: look at the disapproval rating Joe Biden has an inflation 321 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: right now, it's over seventy percent. Carter was not even 322 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: there at this point in mid nineteen hundred and seventy eight. 323 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: When you're doing worse than Jimmy Carter's doing in the 324 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: minds of Americans on inflation, you know that they're holding 325 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: you responsible for the conditions that are currently on the 326 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: ground that are hurting Americans in their pocketbooks. It is 327 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: an insult to compare Biden to Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter 328 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: way smarter than Joe Biden for all the men the audience. 329 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: A footwear tip, there's no reason to spend an entire 330 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: day in uncomfortable shoes just to look sharp. A company 331 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: called Wolf and Shepherd solve that problem. Honestly for me 332 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: years ago. I love Wolf and Shepherd shoes. They're so comfortable. 333 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 1: They're dress shoes that feel like sneakers. Think about that. 334 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: It's a game changer anytime I gotta look nice, whether 335 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 1: it's for work, stuff, date night, a wedding. Clay is 336 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: wearing his Crossovers with me right now in the studio. 337 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: He's loving them, wearing them all day. They're amazing. I've 338 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: got mine at home. I've actually got three pairs of 339 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 1: Wolf and Shepherd shoes. Wolf and Shepherd shoes should become 340 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: part of your routine. Guys, you're gonna love them. Ladies, 341 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: get them for the Milf and Shepherd dot com. Right now, 342 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: join the wolfpack at Wolf and Shepherd dot Com. That's 343 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: Wolf and Shepherd dot Com thinking. But right as fuel 344 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: prices continue to surge, the White House is considering a 345 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: temporary suspension of the federal gas tacks. Yeah, they're considering it. 346 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: So take your time, gang. You tell the President is 347 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: on the older side when he's like, what if you 348 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: give everyone a quarter? Welcome back to clan Buck show. 349 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: When when the late night comedians feel like they could 350 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: start poking fun at the absurdity and unfortunately the economic 351 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: pain induced by the Biden regime, you know, they've got problems. 352 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: So there are there are two things, or rather there 353 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: are two points of connectivity that we have to maintain 354 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: here all the time because on the one hand, we're 355 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: telling you about a lot of stuff that that you're 356 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: feeling and seeing every day, price of gas inflation, what's 357 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: your grocery bill like these days? I gotta tell you 358 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: every time if I go to a restaurant now, or 359 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: if I get I get into the grocery stored, I 360 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: look at the receipt, I'm like, wow, everything is getting 361 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: more expensive producer inflation. I just spoke to a friend 362 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: who told me that the cost of eggs for his 363 00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: baked goods company at wholesale is now up from twelve 364 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: months ago over five times. If you're baked goods company 365 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: and you're paying five x for eggs. By the way, 366 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: cost of flour also important for a baked goods company 367 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: that is up dramatically in the last year as well, 368 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,239 Speaker 1: all across the board. And what's going to happen is 369 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: they have they're going to change the prices in the 370 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: stores that's still coming your way. So you all that's real, 371 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: that those are numbers. Those are cold hard realities. And 372 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: the Democrat really religious zeal for their redistribution, their socialism, 373 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: their defund police will make a say for all. These 374 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: ideas are now crashing against the shoals of the reality 375 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: of what we're actually seeing day to day all across 376 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: the country. And that then brings me to the other 377 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: part of this, which is this is happening because what 378 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: you are seeing is happening because of decisions that were made, 379 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: because of decisions that Democrats made, and a perfect example 380 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,719 Speaker 1: of how they're just going to be so dishonest on 381 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: this is I don't even know what Joe Scarborough over 382 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: at MSNBC considers himself politically. Probably is suave, independent. That's 383 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: a pretty good Scarborough. That's not a man of many voices, 384 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: a lot of tricks up the sleeve, so he's he's 385 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: out there. I just want to remind you that right now, 386 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 1: it's oh man, you know, it would have been so 387 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: bad if Build Back Better had gotten through because then, 388 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: because everyone realizes that who's not completely brain dead, if 389 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: you had spent another five trillion dollars six trillion dollars 390 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: depending on the estimate, things that'd be worse. But let's 391 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,479 Speaker 1: just take a little trip back down when Clay and 392 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: I were saying in January on this show, Joe Mansion 393 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: may have saved the Democrats from themselves and from the 394 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: economic and therefore political annihilation that they were recording with 395 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: the Build Back Better agenda. Here's what MSNBC's favorite fake 396 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: Republican had to say about Joe Mansion back in January. 397 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: You get the head of the Progressive Caucus. You get 398 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion, and you get Joe Biden, and you put 399 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: him in a room and you say, we're not going 400 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: to get out of this room until one of two 401 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,360 Speaker 1: things happen. One we have a deal, or two we're 402 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: gonna have a press conference where we go out and 403 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: announced that Joe Mansion does not support any piece of 404 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: legislation regarding build back better. We either have a bill 405 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: or Joe Mansion will never support anything, and he's been 406 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: lying to us for the past year and a half. 407 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: So basically, throw Joe Mansion under the bus completely and utterly, 408 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: like like make Joe Biden, I mean sorry, make Joe 409 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: Mansion rather the scapegoat for the entire failure of the 410 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: Democratic gender that was punted on TV Joe Scarborough in January. 411 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: Here he is as of Monday. My god, I just 412 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: wonder what would have happened if progressives has gotten their 413 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: six trily dollar wish earlier this year. Yeah, in an 414 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: ironic way, you almost have to thank Joe Mansion from 415 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: blocking that. I wouldn't even say ironically thank Joe Manchin. 416 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: You can just thank Joe Mansion if you're glad that 417 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: interest rates aren't even higher. I just feel Clay, you know, 418 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: these people are wrong all the time, and somehow their 419 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: audiences will listen to them. Sometimes I do want to 420 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: step back and say, we've been right about a lot 421 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: of this, a lot of other conservatives too, and it's 422 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: like we're supposed to ignore that the people who are 423 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 1: always wrong still want to tell us what to do today. 424 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: Six months, we're not talking about six years. We're talking 425 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: about in January throwing Joe Mansion under the bus and 426 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: arguing that he is destroying Joe Biden's agenda, and six 427 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: months later on the same program, it's not even a 428 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: different program. Six months later. By the way, we should 429 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: give credit to Dave Rubin, who does a fantastic job 430 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: pointing out some of these absurdities on his show at 431 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: Reuben Report. You can follow him on Twitter. That's who 432 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: put these two clips together. I watched this right after 433 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: I landed in New York City, buck as I was 434 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: writing in to the city into Manhattan, and I just couldn't. 435 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: I was in the back of the uber just laughing 436 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: as I watched this, because this is a perfect distillation 437 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: of one how many people in media just really aren't 438 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: that smart, right Joe Scarborough on MSNBC that's where this aired. 439 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: He's going to follow whichever way the winds blow. Buck 440 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: mentioned if you go back, I think we played this 441 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: yesterday or the day before. On the program. We were 442 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: arguing for months Joe Mansion cannot support billback better because 443 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: of the danger of inflation. You might not agree with 444 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the opinions that we have here. There's 445 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,640 Speaker 1: almost never going to be a time on this program. 446 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: I say almost never, because who knows what might happen 447 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: where we argue one thing six months ago and the 448 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: exact opposite later and don't at least acknowledge, Hey, here's 449 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: what's changed, so that we've changed our opinion. Scarborough was 450 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,479 Speaker 1: a one hundred percent wrong, but he was celebrating and 451 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 1: sharing the Democrat orthodoxy in January. Now he suddenly has 452 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: got independence, which to me, Buck, you played that cut 453 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: from Jimmy Fallon, and we played earlier cuts from Van 454 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: Jones and also from Don Lemon. What's happening is suddenly 455 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: even people in Democrat media are willing to acknowledge that 456 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is incompetent. And why I think he's going 457 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: to get kicked to the curve after the midterms. Is 458 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: all these guys are not worried about having to interact 459 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: with the Biden administration for four more years. They think 460 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: he's done, and all of a sudden, the story's going 461 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: to change by December of and January of twenty twenty 462 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: three to who's the new Democrat nominee gonna be. There's 463 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 1: an inescapable political reality here as well, that the Biden 464 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: White House has no idea how to handle or how 465 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: to message. Because when Obama and of course Biden was 466 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: the vice president for eight years under Obama and the 467 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: Obama administration, they ram through Obamacare without a single Republican vote, 468 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: but Republicans where they could held the line against Obama's agenda. 469 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: And so even though I thought the Obama agenda was 470 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: very destructive and bad, he could say, and you heard 471 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: this all the time, obstruction. They're obstructing me. Things would 472 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: be great if they weren't standing in my way. And 473 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: now I didn't believe that. Conservatives didn't believe that, but 474 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: the point was, okay, you could at least make that argument, right. 475 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: The problem that Joe Biden faces is that instead of 476 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: being able to argue that obstruction from Republicans is what's 477 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: preventing him from bringing down prices and making everything great. 478 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 1: The obstruction of Republicans is clearly a gift to the 479 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: country when people can't afford gas and food because of inflation, 480 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: and Biden wanted to spend more. Right, the usual talking 481 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: point of if they would only go along, things would 482 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: be so much better. Anyone who's paying attention sees this 483 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: and says, if Republicans and Joe Mansion had gone along, 484 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: I mean we would be people will be talking about 485 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: Venezuela style inflation. We would be in infinitely worse shape 486 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: if that had happened. And by the way, to your 487 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: point on hey, if they had gone along, things would 488 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: have would have gotten far or worse. I hate to 489 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: say it, but what if Democrats had never had a 490 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 1: majority at all, if we had won just one of 491 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: those two seats in Georgia Buck, just one of the 492 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: two Senate seats, how much lower do you think inflation 493 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,479 Speaker 1: would be. We're saying it would be way higher if 494 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 1: Democrats had had enough of a majority, the Joe Mansion 495 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: and Curson sent him had gone along, because they wouldn't 496 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: have passed To one point, nine trillion that immediately Biden passed. 497 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: So this is the unintended consequences. This is the old 498 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: the adage about the zen master. You know who gets 499 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: it gets a horse given to him as a gift, 500 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: and someone says, you know, it's not amazing. He says, 501 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: we'll see yeah, And then you know, a member of 502 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: his family in an accident, and it says, isn't that horrible, 503 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: and it goes, well, we'll see you right. It's just 504 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: everything is we don't really know yet how it turns out. 505 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: If Democrats had not won those two Senate seats, I 506 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: actually think Joe Biden would be right now in a 507 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: much better place and everything we've seen, because then the 508 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: old Obama argument of they stood in my way, I 509 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: was going to all these amazing things would have some residence, 510 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: whereas now people look at the primary problem they face 511 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: is the one thing that would have clearly been exacerbated, 512 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: made worse by exactly what Joe Biden wanted to do. 513 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: So in a weird way, as much as it felt 514 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: like a disaster to lose both those Senate seats at 515 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: the time, you can make an argument you can't prove 516 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: a historical negative, but you can make an argument that 517 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: Biden with Gridlock in Congress instead of spending that two trillion, 518 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: would actually be in a better position. The Democrat Party 519 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: would be in a better position. I think you're right. 520 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: The red tsunami would not be as powerful. The flip 521 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: side is as a country, we also wouldn't be dealing 522 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: probably with eight point six percent inflation. It might be 523 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: four and a half percent or five percent and be 524 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: way more reasonable than it is right now. Absolutely the case, 525 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: Legacy Box provides the simplest and safest way to digitize 526 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: all your aging videotapes. Look if you've got a box 527 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: full of cam quarter tapes, video cassettes, I mean, I 528 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: don't know if vc are already more film reels. You 529 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: know you're keeping those because they have priceless memories on them, 530 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: But what are you gonna do when you want to 531 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: watch them or we want to share them with family members. 532 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: Legacy Box is what you need. They have transferred that 533 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: old media onto new media for a million plus families, 534 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: and you know you can trust them to convert your 535 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: most meaningful recorded moments too. Clay and I have both 536 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: used Legacy Box to convert some of our family memories, 537 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: digitizing them so we can share pictures and videos with 538 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: easy to forward and share digital files. We send items 539 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: off the Legacy Box and in several weeks it all 540 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: came back to us, both the digital file and our 541 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: digital pictures and originals and the video too. You know, 542 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: the best part is you can relive those memories whenever 543 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: you want. The voices, the smiles, the stories of older 544 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: family members recorded on tape, the first words of young 545 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: ones in your family.

Make sure you don't miss a single moment. 559 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: Search out my name, Clay Travis Sexton. We said an 560 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: all time record in May. We want to do the 561 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: same in June. Fighting battles for truth insanity in an 562 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: insane world. And we've been talking about the current situation 563 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: some of the past. I think the future where we 564 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: are headed. I think buck you agree with me, is 565 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: for a Donald Trump versus Ron De Santis battle for them. 566 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: I know they're gonna be multiple people running for the 567 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 1: Republican nomination, but I think that's where we're headed. And 568 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, who was trying to buy Twitter the richest 569 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: man in the world, tweeted yesterday that he was going 570 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: to probably be supporting Ron De Santis for president in 571 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Now, Ron de Santis hasn't announced. He's 572 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: got to first and I know a lot of people 573 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: listen to us in Florida don't want him to leave. 574 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: But he's got a first win his governor's race, which 575 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: is going to be in November. We don't even know 576 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: who his opponent is yet. But DeSantis was asked about 577 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: the Elon Musk support and he had an all time response. 578 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: Remember kind of tipping it off here a little bit 579 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: Musk originally from South Africa. Enjoy. You know, I'm focused 580 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: on twenty twenty two. But with Elon Musk, what I 581 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: would say is, you know, I welcome support from African Americans. 582 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: What can I say so if you again, Elon Musk 583 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: is legitimately an African American born in South Africa, has 584 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: since immigrated to the United States. That is an all 585 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 1: timeline from Ron de Santis. We got a lot of 586 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: different people who want to weigh in on a variety 587 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: of different issues. We try to get as many of 588 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: you in during the course of the show as we can. 589 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: And up first, Armando in Garland, Texas.

Born in Mexico, she is going 593 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: to be the new congresswoman from that district. And Armando, 594 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: you're calling in to let us know down in Texas 595 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: a lot of Hispanics you are seeing moving into the 596 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: Republican column.

We're not 604 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: the Black Lives Matter moving any of that kind of stuff. 605 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: And what happened in the District thirty four with Martin Flores, 606 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: which actually left in an emma. I congratulate her for 607 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: that is big guy. I mean that, that's a big, 608 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 1: big thing, guys. And they know that because they see 609 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 1: a massive, massive living of Hispanic living the Democratic or 610 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 1: whatever it's left for the Democratic Party by that means, 611 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: because this is this is not a big Clinton Democratic Party. 612 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: Guys did say various for sure, nefarious, very nefarious, base 613 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: philosophical twisted on the on the minds of these so 614 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: politicians that actually they're affecting tremendously or or judicial system 615 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: or institution. So we see that guy, and look, listen, 616 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: I didn't went to law school.

They make a technical 621 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: mistake with Trump and they regretted. They tried to reverse it, 622 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: but they couldn't. So we know that as well. So 623 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: this is the trend that we don't want. And look, listen, 624 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 1: I don't like Trump, me personally or families. We don't 625 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: like Trump, but he's more aligned of what we believe 626 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: about America than anybody else out there. And Nando, I 627 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: gotta say, great political analysis about the feelings of the 628 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: Hispanic community that they you know, you are a part of, 629 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: and that you're talking to day and Dale, thank you 630 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: so much for calling in from Garland, Texas. Clay, I 631 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: gotta say, really hoping, wouldn't it be great if not 632 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: only is there a red wave, but at the crest 633 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 1: of the red wave is this surge of Hispanic voters 634 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 1: who leave the Democrat Party in this big term to 635 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: vote for the Republican Party because they know it's in 636 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: the interests of their family. When it comes to safety 637 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: on the streets, putting food on the table, paying the mortgage, 638 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 1: and having their kids get a normal education in school 639 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 1: that's not full of crazy left wing indoctrination. I just 640 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: want to make it clear to everybody. People risk their 641 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: lives to come to America and stand in line to 642 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: immigrate because of how awesome this place is, and America 643 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: being an awful place, which is the underlying theme of 644 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: very much every argument made by Democrats right now, it's 645 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: not going to play. And I just love the idea. 646 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: We're in New York City together right now. Buck.
