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 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome into the second hour of The 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate you being with us, 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: and especially all those excellent calls we had in the 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: last hour from people facing that choice in the National Guards. 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: Some of them already made the choice to separate from 7 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: serving our country because they were being told that they should, 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: or they were being forced to get the shot. And 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: we'll be returning to that story frequently. I can assure 10 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: you were not going to let that go. We are 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: not letting them get away with the fauciite madness. Friends, 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: not going to do what they want, which is to 13 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: fade away from it and let people vote. Oh, you know, 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: maybe Biden's not that bad. No, it actually is that bad, 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: you know it because at the gas prices, an inflation. 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: But we should also remember the refusal to allow people 17 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: to have weddings and then you know, they had a 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: whole bunch of funerals with hundreds of people in DC. 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: You remember that for a member of Congress who passed away. 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: So it's something that we have to continue to stay on. 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: It's a story that we will not let go here. 22 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: But then there was this in New York City, and 23 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: it's now catching national attention because of a lot of 24 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: what I think people are feeling right now is there 25 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: is a among woke progressive prosecutors. There seems to be 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: this desire to go soft on criminals, meaning either don't 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 1: charge them at all, dismiss the charges, give them minimal charges, 28 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: or want them let them get out early. I mean, 29 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: there's just this attitude within the criminal justice apparatus of 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: the left where they are in charge, which is now 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: pretty much every major city. As I said, Clay, I 32 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: checked in on this one with our buddies Michael Berry 33 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: and Jesse Kelly. Houston even has a progressive prosecutor. Now, 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: this is not just a thing that's happening in cities 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: in the Blue States. It's all over the place. Here's 36 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: the situation, and it's a self defense case that is 37 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: already being treated as a murder by Alvin Bragg, a 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: new district attorney here in New York City. A man 39 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: named Jose Alba, sixty two years old, almost a senior citizen. 40 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: He was working in his Now, for those who aren't 41 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: familiar with Bodega's it's very much like a Delhi or 42 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: a small grocery store. We call them bodegas here in 43 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: New York City, and so that's how I'll be referring 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: to it, just common parlance here in New York. So 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: he's a bodega employee, and he was doing his job, 46 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: and he's behind the counter, and there is some kind 47 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: of disagreement with a woman who is the girlfriend now 48 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: of the deceased, who apparently tried to buy a bag 49 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: of potato chips for her daughter. Her debit card was declined, 50 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: and the store employee said, give the chips back you 51 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: or you have not paid for them, and if you 52 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: cannot pay for them, you must give them back. According 53 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: to police, then the woman produced pull the knife out 54 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 1: of her handbag. There was a scuffle, and she ran 55 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: out of the store to call on her boyfriend for help. 56 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: Her boyfriend now dead. This guy Simon was on parole 57 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: at the time for attacking a police officer. So this 58 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: is a person with a violent criminal history. State records 59 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: also show that he had spent time in various New 60 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: York prison facilities previously. So Clay, this is all on video. 61 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: We're putting the video up at Clayenbuck dot com so 62 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: people can see it themselves. You should see this video. 63 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: This individual, remember he's already. This guy's an employee, Jose Albo. Okay, 64 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: he's been working there for decades. It's apparently a very 65 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: well respected and like member of his community, no criminal record, 66 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: never had a problem of any kind. And this guy, 67 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: this guy Simon, goes in and assaults him, it's all 68 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: on video, shoves him into the stack, gets physical with him. 69 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: Alba tries to go remem this is behind the employee desk. 70 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: Alba tries to go around him, and then and then 71 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: Austin Simon, thirty seven year old x con attacks him 72 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: again and Jose Alba pulls out a knife and stabs 73 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: twice defense himself. Simon dies. Clay Jose Alba, the employee here, 74 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: is facing second degree murder charges right now and being 75 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 1: held in Riker's Island Correctional Facility. People are outraged, and 76 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: I think we all see what's going on here. It's 77 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a big story to the extent that it's 78 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: not already. A couple of other details. Bail two hundred 79 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars, which is a really not surprisingly 80 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: high Originally it was half a million. They lowered it. Yeah, 81 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: and maybe they've increased it since then. I'm reading from 82 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: the Daily Mail and this is also important. I think 83 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: Buck family launched a go fund me. They have to 84 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: judge for half a million, pardon me, and then it 85 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: was set at two fifty go ahead. Family launched a 86 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: go fund me to try to raise money so they 87 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: could bail him out. They had raised twenty twenty thousand 88 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: dollars and then go fund Me pulled their fundraising capability, 89 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: much like they did for the Kyle Rittenhouse case, because 90 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: go fund me basically decides if there's anything that's the 91 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: least bit controversial that BLM is upset about, that is 92 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: going against the prevailing left wing orthodoxy, they will pull 93 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: it back. And so the case is going this is 94 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: according to the Daily Mail again, case is going in 95 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: front of a grand jury on Saturday. This is going 96 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: to be everywhere, is my prediction. You you saw this 97 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: story because New York City and there's again it's all 98 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: on video. You can watch this. Everybody can effectively be 99 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: their own juror and determine what they believe is appropriate 100 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: or inappropriate. The racial dynamics at play here, let's be honest, 101 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: are significant because the guy that got stabbed is black. 102 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: The bodega employee I'm assuming is Hispanic based on his name, 103 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: Jose based on his name. So you've got that dynamic 104 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: that is at play as well. You've got the location here, Buck, 105 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: which you could speak too better than I could. But 106 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: it's a Harlem bodegas, right, It's in a heavily black 107 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: and Hispanic neighborhood. Neighborhood. You have the past history of 108 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: this individual who was stabbed, and that will be much 109 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: debated in terms of admissibility in the event that this 110 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: is a criminal trial. But you also have Alvin Bragg, 111 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: who has typically been and again you're in New York City, 112 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: so you can speak to this very well. But I 113 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: follow it. Let's say soft on crime, right, has not 114 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: charged people to the utmost buy in large when they 115 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: are accused of misconduct, accused of criminal activity. And here 116 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: the books getting thrown at this guy. Now, I think 117 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be a really difficult case, right for 118 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: New York City in general, because I think this guy 119 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: has the right to defend himself. So I can look 120 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: at this from the perspective of what exactly is going on, 121 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: but what was being said you can't hear. Right, there's 122 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: no audio on this video that I have seen so 123 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: far that certainly goes a long way towards implicating self defense. 124 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: Because if the guy is saying, hey, I'm gonna kill 125 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: you because of how you treated my girlfriend, that certainly 126 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: plays in here as well. The age, the size, the positioning, 127 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: all of this is going to be because everybody can 128 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: watch it for themselves and make their own decision. I've 129 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: had some use of force training from the government in 130 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: the past, and I can tell you that when you 131 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 1: have someone who is bigger and stronger, who has already 132 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: remember he's coming in in effect here to finish off 133 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: the fight that his girlfriend wrongly started, and a knife 134 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: which assesses which brings into a weapon into the case immediately. 135 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: So what we're asking this individual, Jose Albert to do 136 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: here is to hope that the knife that has already 137 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: you have been used to threaten him is not now 138 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: in the hands of this guy who wasn't even there, 139 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: who's a violent felon, who is clearly a guy who 140 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: you know has has an even enter the store with 141 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: good intentions right, clearly didn't enter the store because he 142 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: wanted to have a nice chat with him, asaulted him 143 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: once physically, and then the guy tries to get away. 144 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: He didn't use the knife the first time, and then 145 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: he wanted to assault him again behind the counter in 146 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: the store. If this isn't self defense, what is self defense? 147 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: What is the City of New York asking Jose Albert 148 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: to do here? Is it to wait until you get 149 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: stabbed and then you're allowed to defend yourself. Is it 150 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: to wait until you're already bleeding out and about to 151 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: die and then maybe you can use lethal force? I mean, 152 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: I see this instance, and you know you come away 153 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: from this thinking Democrats really only want to throw the book, 154 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: it seems when it comes to use of force at 155 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: people who are defending themselves. In some of these cases 156 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: the Kyle Rittenhouse thing, for example, Kyle Rittenhouse was on 157 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: video defending himself. Charged him with murder. In this case, 158 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: this is clear video charging him with second degree murder, 159 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: not even manslaughter, second degree murder. It is outrageous. But 160 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: you know the attitude of the Democrats now, Clay is 161 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: you gotta let people go in your store, steal your 162 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: stuff and rough you up. Let's be honest here, it's 163 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: identity politics. Yeah, and so you have got a to 164 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: me go fund me taking down his ability to raise 165 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: money to defend himself. We have not spent and I 166 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: mean as a society enough time talking about the powers 167 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: of big tech to determine this is me being a 168 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: lawyer here, right. Why should everyone who wants to donate 169 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: money to a legal defense fund for this individual not 170 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: be able to do so? Why should go fund me, 171 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: which allows legal defense money to be raised in left 172 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,439 Speaker 1: wing cases all the time, not have gotten more criticism 173 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: for the Kyle Rittenhouse case. And when you're talking about 174 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bail, why should 175 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: this family not be entitled to try to raise money 176 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: using the go fund me platform as well? And for 177 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: people who listen to the show regularly, you know that 178 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: I have donated to the Criminal Defense Fund of the 179 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: January sixth prisoners. We've got people who are still in 180 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: solitary confinement who have not been able to have justice 181 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: in that case over eighteen months after they were allegedly 182 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: committing a crime. Regardless of what your politics are, we 183 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: have really and this is the aco you, this is 184 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: the legal defense community in general. Remember Buck John Adams 185 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: defended the British soldiers who were accused of committing the 186 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: Boston massacre, not because not because he agreed with their behavior, 187 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: but because the responsibility of a lawyer is to provide 188 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: zealous defense for his clients. So how can you not 189 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: allow that client to be higher. The left does not 190 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: believe that the enemies of social justice deserve elite defense. 191 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: That is the bottom line. That is the truth. It 192 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: is the truth though now the ACLU. It is the 193 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: truth of the Democrat Party. It is the truth of 194 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: prosecutors as well. In cities like New York, you see 195 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: an instance like this and you say to yourself, this 196 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: all ties in to what we saw for a while. 197 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: If you remember in San Francisco, there's started to be 198 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: these news editorials, don't call the police when someone's robbing 199 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: your house. Yeah, that might in violence against a person 200 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: of color who is committing a non violent crime. Those 201 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: were real editorials, folks. I'm not making this up. That 202 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: was a sentiment the social justice left tells people. Don't 203 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: tackle anybody who's or you know, or physically block anyone 204 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: who's engaging in grand theft, larceny from your store. Let 205 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: them take it. It's just property. Why would you use violence, 206 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: and in this case violence disproportionately that may target communities 207 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: of color. This is the thinking of the left. They 208 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: say it out loud, and so when you get a 209 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: prosecutor like this, it's just let him steal the back 210 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: of potato chips. It's almost like he started it by 211 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: not letting. In the mind of Alvin Bragg, you started 212 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: it by not letting someone steal from you quietly. Well, 213 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: and I would say two bucket. The self defense is 214 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: about the mind of the self defender. In other words, 215 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: what threats did they perceive? How do you not allow 216 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: in your mind the rise of violence in New York 217 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: City to not also go into the level of fear 218 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: that you fill when there are random acts of violence 219 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: and crimes skyrocketing all over your city, probably your neighborhood 220 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: as well. When you are working in that shop. All 221 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 1: of that is part of the decision that you are 222 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: making when in that spur of the moment you act. 223 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: And again, that video is out there a lot of you. 224 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: I had not seen this until you shared it with 225 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: me Buck when we sat down and start the show today. 226 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: I think this is going to become a major, major 227 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: story before all is said and done, because of the 228 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: identities involved, because there's a video and everybody can sit 229 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: down and be their own juror. And it's close in 230 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: terms of any everything.

It's New York City, where the media 233 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: covers things, as you well know, more aggressively than they 234 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: do in other parts of the country.

Also yesterday's conversation with Alex Berenson, who has 267 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: returned from the Twitter band list and won a big 268 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: legal victory over Twitter. Latest on COVID. That was a 269 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: really good conversation yesterday. If you haven't checked that already, 270 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: I would encourage you to do so. So we were 271 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: talking as we went to break about I believe the 272 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: ultimate battleground state in twenty twenty two if I had 273 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: to just pick one, and I know there are many, 274 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: but if I had to just pick one, it would 275 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: be Georgia because you have a big battle between Governor 276 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: Brian Kemp of Georgia and Stacy Abrahams on the governor's race, 277 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: and then you have herschel Walker going up against the 278 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: Reverend Raphael Warnock, who is currently the Senator, and so 279 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: you have a big Senate race that could decide the 280 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 1: fate of who controls the Senate. And then you have 281 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: a governor's race, and if Stacy Abrams were to win, 282 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: I think Brian Kemp is right, she would use that 283 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: as a stepping stone to run for president from the 284 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: state of Georgia. Stacy Abrams sits buck on the board 285 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: of a group that has advocated to defund the police. 286 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: This is the Marguerite Casey Foundation. They have supported defunding 287 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: the police. What is interesting and I gotta give the 288 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: New York Post credit on this. Stacy abrams Georgia campaign 289 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: for governor has spent five hundred and twenty thousand dollars 290 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: and change on security just since December of twenty twenty 291 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: one to April of twenty twenty two, So in basically 292 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: a four to five month window of this governor's campaign, 293 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams has average spending over one hundred thousand dollars 294 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: a month for private security protection. Your reaction to sitting 295 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: on the board defund the police. Stacy Abrams, who remember 296 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: also wanted all kids to be wearing masks, sin said 297 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: Georgia is the worst state to live in in the 298 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: entire country. The fact that she has spent over half 299 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: a million dollars on private security while saying that others 300 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: don't deserve the right to police is what buck Sexton Well, 301 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: obviously we see the hypocrisy here, which is true of 302 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: so many of the gun grabbers. Anybody who has made 303 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: a big show in politics of their desire to make 304 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: it harder for law abiding people to get guns at 305 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: the national level, if they're a big enough politician or 306 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: a rich enough guy or gal, you find that they 307 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: have armed security, sometimes privately paid for, but often paid 308 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: for by the taxpayer, and it makes you wonder, why 309 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: aren't those police, so to speak, defunded? You know, why 310 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: is it that there are some people who deserve to 311 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: feel safe as they walk around? I remember, even armed 312 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: security isn't a guarantee, right, So we could always say, 313 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: because they'll they'll tell people will conceal carry permit or 314 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: being able to open carry isn't something that necessarily will 315 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: save you. And they'll point to some case or statistic 316 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: or whatever. Yeah, but you got a shot. Yeah, you 317 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: say you got a chance, you have the possibility of it. 318 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: But Stacy Abrahams has built a massive career already on 319 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: fraud and lies. I mean, this is actually completely on 320 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,479 Speaker 1: brand for the woman who would be the actual governor 321 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: of Georgia instead of the fake governor of Georgia. If 322 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: Democrats are able to pull it off this fall. I 323 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: certainly hope that that is not the case. But there's 324 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: also something really unsettling, to put it mildly, about the 325 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: mentality of so many of these Democrats right now who 326 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: act like defund the police. Okay, they're not yelling it anymore. 327 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: They're not shouting it the same way that was a 328 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: maniacal civilization destroying idea. Getting rid of cops in America 329 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: today would destroy our society faster than almost anything. Maybe 330 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: getting rid of all fossil fuels would destroy it faster, actually, 331 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: because we would just all starve. But getting rid of 332 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: police is crazy, and I will say it is one 333 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: of one of my big disappointments with the way, you know, 334 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: the American people voted the last time around in twenty twenty. 335 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: Instead of being in a moral panic about racial politics, 336 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: they should have seen that the BLM movement and defund 337 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: the police was going to be disastrous for everybody, particularly 338 00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: Black Americans, particularly minorities who live in high crime neighborhoods. 339 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: And it was, and there has been no no real 340 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: accountability for this yet, Clay, you know, it's almost tough 341 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: to pick. We talk about COVID, what they did on 342 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: defund the police. I would also argue that alone should 343 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: be enough for them to get destroyed. If there aren't 344 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: rivers of Democrat tiers on election day, we haven't done 345 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: our jobs. I'll even defend the choice between, at least 346 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: initially with COVID, there was some uncertainty about what was 347 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: the best choice to make. Defunding the police never had 348 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: any legitimate basis whatsoever. We knew what was going to happen, 349 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: right because we had seen high crime America before when 350 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,239 Speaker 1: we didn't support our police. And so the fact that 351 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: there are thousands more people dead as a result is 352 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: the consequence of the fear. The fear that is out 353 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: there of being called racist is so pronounced, especially in 354 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: highly educated white society in particular, that there is no 355 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: willingness to even mention any facts that might contradict the 356 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: idea that American racism is so founded in policing that 357 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: we have to do away with them in order to 358 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: make people safe. The perfect distillation of this book. Remember 359 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: when Senator Tom Cotton wrote on the New York Times 360 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: op ed page we should call in security, meaning the troops, 361 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: to call the National Guard, call the National Guard in 362 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: to help deal with all the rioting that was going 363 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: on all over this country. And they fired the New 364 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: York Times editorial page leader for even allowing that to occur. 365 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: And then what's the first thing that they did after 366 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: January sixth happen? They called in the National Guard and 367 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: use them to help provide security. But that idea, they 368 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: said calling in the National Guard was racist because it 369 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: would put minority lives in danger to allow our national 370 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: Guard to work. And I'll be very clear with everybody, 371 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: and I want everyone to remember this. You won't hear this, 372 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: I don't think anywhere else. And it's important. The defund 373 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: the police ideology that the left espouses is always actually situational. 374 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: They want to defund local law enforcement so that they're 375 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: unable to protect people from rapes, assaults, murders. You know, 376 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: they because we need to suffer through that as a society, 377 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: because the left us all crime as a collective problem. 378 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: It's not individuals who are valuing. They want to do that, 379 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: But Clay, they don't actually want to defund the police. 380 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: When it comes to using the FBI, they want to 381 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 1: more the homes of the political enemies of the regime. 382 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: They don't want to defund police, not in the slightest 383 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: when it comes to wrestling pastors out of their churches 384 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: for exposing people to COVID by actually trying to exercise 385 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: their First Amendment constitutional rights. They have no problem with 386 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: police coming into arrest people for failure to show a 387 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: vaccine passport in New York City, which happened. They have 388 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: no problem with people being wrestled to the ground on 389 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: airplanes by cops for not wearing a mask. So they're 390 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: actually not even consistent among the defund the police crowd. 391 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: They want the force of the state, they want the 392 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: boot on your throat when they want it. They just 393 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: don't want there to actually be authority that is armed 394 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: and capable of enforcing the law to protect us from 395 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: everyday crime that we all have to suffer through. Yeah, 396 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: they're fine with people being tackled and arrested for not 397 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: wearing masks appropriately, but they're not okay with police pursuing 398 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: violent criminals aggressively, war with district attorneys bringing heavy levels 399 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: of charges against constantly cyclical violent criminals. It really is 400 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: a mind disease that is without any sort of justification 401 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: at all. In fact, I think defund the police is 402 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: the single dumbest political slogan of our lives in that 403 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: there is zero argument in favor of it. Buck. You 404 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: could say, hey, we need higher taxes because we want 405 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: to pay for X or Y. I think climate change 406 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: is all bunk, as do you, But you can argue, hey, 407 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: as a part of the Green New Deal, we need 408 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: more windmills and solar energy or whatever. We can dispute 409 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: that there is not a single argument that defund the 410 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: police in any way makes sense. And I want to 411 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: also remind everybody Clay that defund was the workshopped phrase. 412 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,240 Speaker 1: Defund was the one that they actually were. The anti 413 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: cop left, which at its core just believe they are 414 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: racial Marxists. They want they want to use the same 415 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: tactics of the radical Marxist of the past, but instead 416 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: of class it is along race lines. That is exactly 417 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: what they do. That's the whole that's the whole game. 418 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: But but Clay, they're looking to pull apart our society 419 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: and to do so, they actually want to abolish police. Yes, 420 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: and you heard AOC. Remember she wasn't saying defund ice originally. 421 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: She knows she's parrots, that's her job. She just spouts 422 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: the slogans of the far left. And she was saying, 423 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: abolish immigrations and customs enforcement. And if you speak to 424 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: people who are truly in the leftist movement, they'll say, well, 425 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: actually I want to be an abolitionist of police. Now, 426 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: notice they use the term abolitionist because of the connection 427 00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: to the righteous cause of the abolition of slavery. And 428 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: then you look at the sixteen nineteen project, for example, 429 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: which had a whole part which which had this whole 430 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: connection of where do police come from slave patrols? This 431 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: was the argument that left was making. So it was 432 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: actually the abolition of police that they were hoping to 433 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: get to, and defund was a midway stop. And you 434 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: and I are sitting here saying defund the police is insane, 435 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: and it's directly leading to thousands of people who would 436 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: otherwise have been alive being dead. The rate of violent 437 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: crime that has a majority of the people who are 438 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 1: vast majority of the underman of cops are black. Young 439 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: blacks man have died because of this. Black Lives Matter 440 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: has led to more young black deaths than any political 441 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: movement in the twenty first century by far, not even close. 442 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,239 Speaker 1: It's I mean, you know, folks, we're just telling you 443 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: what you know is true and what you can see 444 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: is true in the data. But you know, they've got 445 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: a probably another January six hearing coming any day now 446 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: over on the left. That's what they're focused on. Financial 447 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: markets have had bubbles bursting. Lately, it's been rough, one 448 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,959 Speaker 1: one after another, the markets getting crushed, the housing markets 449 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: showing real signs of instability for the first time in years. 450 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: When you add the inflation rate to all of this, 451 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: it's a scary scenario. If you're trying to protect the 452 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 1: value of your savings account, it's important to think this 453 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: through differently. A new plan is in order, and if 454 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: you're developing that new plan, include the purchase of real gold. 455 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: Gold has been proven over time to hold its value 456 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: when markets become turbulent. I rely on the Oxford Gold 457 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: Group for my purchases.

Welcome in Clay 466 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton Show, Thursday edition of the program. Appreciate 467 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us as we roll 468 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: through bringing sanity to an insane world. We're gonna be 469 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: joined by Brian Dean Wright, who is one of Bucks 470 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: buddies from the CIA. At two thirty we will talk 471 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: with current Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt. That is on the 472 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: horizon in terms of guests. But this is not going 473 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: to surprise any of you. The rapid I would say, 474 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: rats fleeing from the ship of the Biden administration continues 475 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: to accelerate as Joe Biden's floundering and trying to exp 476 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: lane away what is going on with this economy continues 477 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: to not land in any kind of significant way. Just 478 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: moments ago before we came on the air, Reuters not 479 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: exactly a Democrat or a Republican favoring I should say, 480 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: polling company announced that Joe Biden has equaled his all 481 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: time low in support. Thirty six percent of Americans right 482 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: now support Joe Biden. I actually believe that is likely 483 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: too high. As a part of that thirty six percent approval, 484 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: the economy is overwhelmingly the number one issue in the 485 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: country right now as everyone is struggling with eight point 486 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: six percent inflation and Joe Biden is floundering trying to 487 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: explain why his administration, despite everything that you see, has 488 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: actually been a success. I want you to listen to 489 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: what Biden said about how awful the economy was when 490 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: he was elected. By the way, inflation was around one 491 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 1: and a half percent when Joe Biden came into office. 492 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: But he says people couldn't even find things to eat. 493 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: Might be a surprise to moms out there who still 494 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 1: can't find baby formula. Here's Joe Biden saying, you couldn't 495 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: even find food when I got elected. You all remember 496 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: what the economy was like when I was elected. A 497 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: country in a pandemic with no real plans how to 498 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: get out of it. Millions of people out of their jobs, families, 499 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: and cars. Remember backed up for literally miles waiting for 500 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: a box of food to be putting their trunk, just 501 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: to put box of food to be putting their trunk 502 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: because didn't have enough to eat. Previous administration lost more 503 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: jobs in his watch than any administration, sends Herbert Hoover. 504 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: That's a fact, all based on failed trickle down economics 505 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: to benefit the wealthiest Americans and at the middle class 506 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: of working people. The hardest. We came in with a 507 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: fundamentally different economic vision. He is like a bullcrap conveyor belt, 508 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: Like it just keeps on coming play. It's almost it's 509 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: hard to even pick out the individual falsehoods. You're overwhelmed 510 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: by it. You know, you can't actually deal with all 511 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: the incoming It's crazy, this stuff that he's trying to 512 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: get people to believe now. But the only alternative, right, 513 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: the only thing that he could do otherwise, would be 514 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: to pivot and admit that some of the things that 515 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: they've done were really dumb and really destructive and made 516 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: things worse. And in doing so, they would be implicitly, 517 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: whether they say it or not, admitting that people on 518 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: the other side who are saying, Hey, lockdowns are terrible. 519 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: You should get out of them as soon as possible. Hey, 520 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: vaccine mandates are a bad idea. Hey, one point nine 521 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: trillion of spending when we're already through the worst of 522 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: the pandemic is crazy. Those people were all right. The 523 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: problem is they don't want to give any credibility to 524 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: that because that means there might be an even bigger 525 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: shift in power. I do think they'll clay you're you know, 526 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: because we'll be talking more about this today every day. Now, 527 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 1: it just feels a little bit like the Democrat legions 528 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: in the media are having more and more desertions from 529 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: the field of muster. More and more people kind of going, 530 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: I'm putting down a sword in my shield here. I 531 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: don't really want to fight for Team Biden anymore. I 532 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: think that's exactly the story as we move closer and 533 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: closer to the mid terms. And it's important to note 534 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: when Biden says Trump had the worst economy, said no. 535 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,959 Speaker 1: In February of twenty twenty, before COVID hit, the United 536 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: States had the strongest economy in the history of our country, 537 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: lowest unemployment rate, virtually non existent inflation, and the places 538 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: that have actually recovered after the Democrat enforced lockdowns that 539 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: lasted for far longer have actually been red states. But 540 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: Biden is lying about that. He's also claiming and this 541 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: is signal forget because this is going to be one 542 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: of his arguments now. He's going to say Republicans are 543 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: the reason for the economic failures that are going on 544 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: right now. They're not letting Democrats pass the legislation which 545 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: would change this. When the reality is and I want 546 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: all of you to listen closely here. Remember if Build 547 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: Back Better had passed as bad as inflation is now 548 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: eight point six percent, we're talking about inflation that could 549 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: be fifteen percent. And here's Biden saying Republicans are obstructing us. 550 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: Thank god Republicans are obstructing Democrats, because otherwise the worst 551 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: inflation in most of our lives would be far worse. 552 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 1: Listen to Joe Biden talk about obstruction, Well, Republicans do 553 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 1: nothing to obstruct our efforts to lower your gas taxes. 554 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: I propose that I've asked the Congress to eliminate the 555 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: federal gas tax for the next as long as this 556 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: crisis goes on. The lower food prices, lower healthcare costs, 557 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 1: hopefully soon lower your prescription jug cause I mean, Clay, 558 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 1: it's just laughable all of this. First of all, his 559 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: own party doesn't support much of what he's trying to 560 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: push through because it's all a sham. This do away 561 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: with the federal gas tacks, Okay, it might save you 562 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: ten fifteen cents on this is this is him throwing 563 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: pennies at the peasants and expecting them to be grateful. 564 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: And everyone's look at him saying, look, old man, this 565 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 1: is not okay. You need to stop just continuing with 566 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: talking points that not there's a level of believability that 567 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,200 Speaker 1: you need for even government propaganda, right, I mean Democrats, 568 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: there are things they can get away with. And for example, 569 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: and we've said this before, what he's doing right now, 570 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: would Biden is claiming they're standing in my way. I 571 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: would do all these amazing things. That is straight out 572 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,240 Speaker 1: of the Obama playbook. This is what Obama did going 573 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: into that big midterm election, and it's you know, oh, 574 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: they're not going And remember they did have they did 575 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: have of plenty they had they had a supermajority in fact, right, 576 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: so they were able to get through Obamaca. They were 577 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: able to get through stuff. And then once the Obama 578 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,799 Speaker 1: administration didn't have anything left that they were able to push, 579 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: once they got beaten down so badly in those midterms, 580 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,840 Speaker 1: it turned into obstruction. Oh they're obstructing that at least 581 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 1: resonated because Republicans were seg we're not going along with 582 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 1: your crazy agenda. Thank god. By the way, with Biden, 583 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: as you pointed out, the agenda is the problem, and 584 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 1: everyone sees it because the agenda is entirely based upon 585 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 1: spending a whole heck of a lot more money, and 586 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 1: as you mentioned yesterday, probably taxing people a whole lot 587 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: more too, which is beer right now, a guaranteed way 588 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: to push us not into a recession that's kind of 589 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: like an ouch recession, but in an oh my gosh recession, 590 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: you raise taxes dramatically on corporations and individuals. Right now, 591 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: big problems ahead, and a lot of people are not 592 00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: aware that that's what they're trying to do. There's a 593 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: certain level of acknowledgement right now that Democrats are going 594 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: to lose the House, may lose the Senate. We'll see 595 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: how a lot of those races turn out. But they're 596 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: not going to be able to pass any substantial economic 597 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: agenda that Joe Biden would like to be able to pass. 598 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: And if in fact that is going to occur, they're 599 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: basically saying, let's just go ahead and pass whatever we 600 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: can right now, because who knows when we will control 601 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: the House, the Senate and also the White House. That 602 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: is particularly cynical because it may take a long time 603 00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: for Republicans to control the House, the Senate in the 604 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: White House as well. So whatever tax increases passed, but 605 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: could last four years because there may not be able 606 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 1: to be the votes to pass it and overturn whatever 607 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,840 Speaker 1: gets passed right now in July in advance of the 608 00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: mid term. And isn't it interesting that speaking of Obama 609 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: for a second here, you don't see him coming out 610 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 1: all fired up in defense of the Biden administration, which 611 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 1: would I think it would help hope with the Democrat 612 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: base to be sure, right, you're see he'll speak, Obama 613 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: will put out some tweet about climate change, right, I mean, 614 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, he will use the megaphone sometimes. And I 615 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,080 Speaker 1: just wonder, I just wonder if already there's some understanding 616 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:19,320 Speaker 1: in the real Democrat Party power centers of don't don't 617 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: waste your your energy and don't waste your political capital 618 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: on this White House. We might need it for the 619 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: next Democrat White House. Because I'm not to the earlier point. 620 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: The media is already pulling away a little bit. But 621 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: some of the big voices in the Democrat Party, they're 622 00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: not all saying what a great job, you know, Hillary Clinton, 623 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,279 Speaker 1: even for whatever she brings to the table, She's not 624 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 1: saying Joe Biden's done in a no one's saying he's 625 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: done a great job. I think it. Obama is smart, 626 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 1: and I think Hillary Clinton is smart. You can agree 627 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 1: or disagree with their political opinion, but smart. Sure. They 628 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: are intelligent people. I think they don't have respect for 629 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's intellectual acumen. I thought it was significant that 630 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,399 Speaker 1: Obama didn't endorse Joe Biden at all in twenty twenty 631 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: until he had already gathered and gained the nomination, so 632 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 1: he wasn't willing despite the fact that he served alongside 633 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden for eight years. Hillary Clinton's not running, 634 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,160 Speaker 1: then there aren't really that many people who were involved 635 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: in the Biden administration at all who were throwing punches 636 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: and viable candidates in the twenty twenty Democratic primaries. I 637 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: think I think that Biden Obama did not endorse Biden 638 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: because he doesn't respect his intellect, and same reason that 639 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,280 Speaker 1: he picked Hillary as his would be successor in twenty 640 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: sixteen and essentially kicked Biden to the curb because he 641 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 1: doesn't respect him as an actual leader. And I do 642 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 1: think that with Biden, they just in the pandemic year, 643 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: while BLM mobs were burning down cities and you know, 644 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: or areas and cities and going all the stuff that 645 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 1: we saw. It was a really de state abalizing year 646 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,280 Speaker 1: for the American psyche. I think that they just figured 647 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: this old grandpa like guy that everyone knows, who's always 648 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: got this grin on his face, and we're gonna tell 649 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: everybody he's a modern even though he's actually a trojan 650 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: horse for the left, which we said and that has 651 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 1: turned out to be true. But we can make this 652 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 1: guy something he's not when everyone's so scared that they 653 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: just want that national father or grandfather figure in essence. 654 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: And everyone hates Trump so much because he's so scary 655 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: and bad, and the pandemics his fault. You go back, 656 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,440 Speaker 1: you think about the psychology of it. This was the 657 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 1: only I mean, this was we had a once in 658 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,640 Speaker 1: a century pandemic that created a once in a century 659 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: opportunity for Joe Biden to actually be the president and 660 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: please direct all the emails about their cheating and everything else. 661 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: I get it, I know, but we're dealing with the 662 00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: reality of what actually happened here in terms of he 663 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,239 Speaker 1: is the president right now and it's not going well. Well, 664 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: he's the president, like Jimmy Carter was the president. And 665 00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: this is where I think the analogy historically, he makes 666 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. Jimmy Carter was an accidental president. 667 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: He was president because Richard Nixon had Watergate happened, and 668 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: whoever the Democrats put forward in nineteen seventy six was 669 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: gonna win. The reason why Joe Biden won is because 670 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: of COVID. If COVID doesn't happen, Trump wins. I really 671 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: do believe a landslide election. The reason why suburban women 672 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: turned on Donald Trump was because he was not empathetic 673 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: enough in the midst of COVID, and they bought the 674 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 1: argument that Joe Biden put forward, which was alsaals cooked. 675 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,120 Speaker 1: I mean, now, people that are walking around double mask 676 00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,280 Speaker 1: with their N ninety five, they're doing it as either 677 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 1: a show of what is honestly an anxiety disorder or 678 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 1: political allegiance. But in twenty twenty I knew a lot. 679 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people who are like, look 680 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:47,439 Speaker 1: better safe than sorry. I'm concerned, and you know that, Yeah, 681 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: that's a different that's a different thing. In the beginning. 682 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I the first month of pandemic, there are 683 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: a couple times in my building I put on rubber 684 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:57,720 Speaker 1: gloves because I was like, they keep saying, you touch everything. 685 00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to get this stuff in my eye 686 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,399 Speaker 1: or whatever. I don't want to yet it. So I'm 687 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: not pretending like we had all the answers. Then people 688 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: were scared. Joe Biden was America's grandpa, and now we 689 00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 1: find out he's actually a jerk and he's incompetent and 690 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 1: he's not America's grandpa. And the Democrats are realizing this 691 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,919 Speaker 1: too well. And we've got a huge number of people 692 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: right now that are listening to us that I believe 693 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: voted for Joe Biden everything. I really believe. I really 694 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,239 Speaker 1: believe it because I think a lot of people bought 695 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,720 Speaker 1: into the fear. I think they bought into the hype, 696 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,880 Speaker 1: and I think now they're seeing how much of a 697 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 1: disaster Biden is, and they're looking for rationality, They're looking 698 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: for reasonableness, they're looking for sanity in an insane world. 699 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: And where else are you going to go? I mean, 700 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 1: look at some of the Republican governors out there, not 701 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: just Rhonda Santists. We give him plenty of Let's just 702 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 1: be honest. What we say about Rhonda Santists on this 703 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 1: show is just reflecting the reality of the results in 704 00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: his state. Other states, we've got Governor Stitt coming on 705 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: from Oklahoma. Oklahoma has done very well. You're a home state. 706 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 1: We've had governor the fastest growing state in America. We've 707 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 1: done very well. So we've had these models of re 708 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: of red governance, of Republican governance. Things are great, and 709 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: you got Biden at the top of the whole system. 710 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 1: Things are trash. I think people are figuring this out. Yeah, 711 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 1: and white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, some of whom who bought 712 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,920 Speaker 1: into the Biden hype or were just turned off by 713 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: the cosmetic aspects of Trump. As you'll see a lot 714 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 1: of people say, now, do you letter have eight point 715 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: six percent inflation or mean tweets? Would you rather have 716 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 1: war in Europe or mean tweets? I think a lot 717 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: of people are saying mad, the mean tweets aren't really 718 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 1: that bad compared to how for me every time I 719 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,760 Speaker 1: go to the grocery store. Nearly a third of Americans 720 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: suffer from chronic pain. It happens because of getting older, 721 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 1: over exertion on the job.

Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 741 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 1: We are joined now by the Governor of Oklahoma, Kevin Stentt, 742 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: to talk to you again, Governor, And I want to 743 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:05,439 Speaker 1: start here because I know this is something that you've 744 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,240 Speaker 1: been having to deal with a large amount of time. 745 00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 1: Buck and I have been teeing off on the idea 746 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,320 Speaker 1: that we are losing any of our National Guard troops 747 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: as well as any of our fighting men and women 748 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:24,759 Speaker 1: at all in the armed forces over this COVID shot requirement, 749 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 1: which every single week and month gets more and more ridiculous. 750 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 1: How frustrating is it to you. I'm sure there are 751 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: a lot of Oklahoman's out there in the services that 752 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 1: are raising this issue with you, and I know you've 753 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: fought it yourself. How incredibly bad of a decision is 754 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: this by the Biden administration? Well, first off, thanks for 755 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. And again it's just it's 756 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:50,400 Speaker 1: one more example of this administration just having zero common sense. 757 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 1: We sued I wanted to protect the National Guard that 758 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 1: report directly to me as the commander in chief in Oklahoma. 759 00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: We said, we're not going to dishonorably discharge anyone. We 760 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,960 Speaker 1: think it's absolutely ridiculous to force someone to get a 761 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: shot that may have a thirty day you know, affect 762 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,920 Speaker 1: effective rate of getting COVID and if you think about it, 763 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,440 Speaker 1: there's sixty thousand people that will be discharged from the army. 764 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:22,399 Speaker 1: We lost fifty eight thousand soldiers in Vietnam, and one 765 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:27,560 Speaker 1: day we've lost more people from just an absolute political 766 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: stunt by this administration. It is just unbelievable. It's a 767 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,800 Speaker 1: national security issue, and I just think about these brave 768 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: men and women that are serving our country and serving 769 00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 1: our states in the National Guard and are paying for 770 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: college and want to serve their state, and now they're 771 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: being forced to get out of the military because of 772 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 1: a political stunt, and it's just it's just ridiculous as 773 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: far as we're concerned in Oklahoma. Hey, Governor Stid it's Buck. 774 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: Thanks again for being with us. And you know, we 775 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 1: talk a lot on this show about some of the 776 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 1: policies in the larger population red states like Florida and Texas. 777 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,479 Speaker 1: And then because Clay's at Tennessee and obviously we hone 778 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: in on that one too. I mean, you're speaking to 779 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 1: people all across the country, but certainly in your home 780 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,279 Speaker 1: state of Oklahoma as well. We've got KTOK Oklahoma City 781 00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 1: and KAKC and Tulsa, great stations, heritage stations there with 782 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,560 Speaker 1: big audiences. We want to just give you an opportunity 783 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,480 Speaker 1: to tell folks, what have you been doing in your 784 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: state when it comes to COVID, when it comes to 785 00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 1: getting the economy back on track, when it comes to 786 00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 1: a rule of law and the protections therein. What should 787 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 1: people know about what Oklahoma has been doing because they 788 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 1: know about Florida and Texas if they listen to this show. Yeah, well, 789 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 1: we're glad Florida and Texas can be following Oklahoma's lead 790 00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:47,479 Speaker 1: through this entire process. But you know, basically, here's the deal. 791 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of the conservative states in US, 792 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma, you don't put your constitution in the attic 793 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,840 Speaker 1: when there's a pandemic and just because someone in Washington, 794 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,680 Speaker 1: DC says that you should act a certain way. And 795 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 1: so we've believed in freedom's personal responsibility. As one of 796 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,360 Speaker 1: the few governors that did not declare a mass mandate statewide, 797 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,800 Speaker 1: we kept our schools open, we kept our businesses open 798 00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 1: all through the pandemic, and we kept people safe. I 799 00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 1: was transparent with all the data. We gave all of 800 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:19,520 Speaker 1: our hospitals, the PPE everything that they needed. But we 801 00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,839 Speaker 1: weren't going to shut our schools down. Now people are 802 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,799 Speaker 1: waking up to the learning loss that happened from some 803 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,200 Speaker 1: of these Blue states that closed down their schools, and 804 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: now Oklahoma, just like Texas and Tennessee, in South Carolina 805 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: and Florida, our economy's booming. We have the lowest unemployment 806 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 1: in our state's history. I have the largest savings account 807 00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:43,319 Speaker 1: we've ever had. We've got some business principles that we're 808 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 1: making Oklahoma the most business friendly state. I cut taxes 809 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 1: last year for every business, every single individual, and just 810 00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: could not be more proud of the migration that's moving 811 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:57,120 Speaker 1: to our state and the economy's booming. Here. You mentioned 812 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 1: something that I think is reason alone to read in November, 813 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,320 Speaker 1: and I know many of our listeners are still fired 814 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,600 Speaker 1: up about it. All over the country you're seeing now. 815 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,760 Speaker 1: I saw Joe Biden tweet I think it was yesterday 816 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,839 Speaker 1: or the day before. Due to the pandemic, we saw 817 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 1: a great amount of reading and math learning loss among students. 818 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 1: I know there are certain public school districts in your state, Tulsa, 819 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 1: for example, that shut down for a long time. I 820 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:28,600 Speaker 1: think Tulsa was down like three hundred days. How infuriating 821 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 1: is it to you? As the chief executive of a 822 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,319 Speaker 1: state like Oklahoma, to have these teachers unions and these 823 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:39,319 Speaker 1: left wing city mayor and administrators in these schools who 824 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:44,399 Speaker 1: took this opportunity to take away learning from kids who 825 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 1: needed it the most. Frankly, well, that's exactly right. And 826 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: the hypocrisy from the folks from the left, and I 827 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 1: mean governors of certain states literally closed their schools down 828 00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,200 Speaker 1: while their kids were in private schools the whole time. 829 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,279 Speaker 1: We had. This same thing happened in some of our 830 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: big school districts. But yeah, Tulsa Public Schools was closed 831 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 1: for over three hundred days. I hammered them every single day, 832 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 1: had to fight my own superintendent of education because they 833 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,120 Speaker 1: were siding with the unions and keeping things closed. And 834 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if you had to, if any of anybody, 835 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 1: any of your listeners, were the governor and had to 836 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,200 Speaker 1: talk to the single moms, the single dads, the parents 837 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 1: that called my office and would say, Governor, it's not fair. 838 00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,479 Speaker 1: My first grader is not learning how to read via 839 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,800 Speaker 1: zoom and across the street of the different school districts, 840 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 1: they were in school the whole time, and it just 841 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 1: broke your heart. That's why we need parents to have 842 00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:41,080 Speaker 1: more choice. That's why I stand with parents to give 843 00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: them options to move to schools that better fit their needs. 844 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: And maybe you're just simply open, but we want to 845 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,839 Speaker 1: fund students, not systems in Oklahoma, and you're seeing that 846 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 1: move all across the country right now. And you know 847 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 1: people are they want to educate their kids, not indoctrinate 848 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:00,480 Speaker 1: their kids, and so we want to are trying to 849 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: lead the way in Oklahoma, and I know a lot 850 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 1: of other common sense states are doing the same thing. 851 00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:09,600 Speaker 1: Speaking in Governor Kevin Stith of Oklahoma governor state, are 852 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: are you the first governor of a state who is 853 00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,759 Speaker 1: a registered member of a Native American tribe? Do I 854 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,160 Speaker 1: have that right? You know, That's what I've been told. Yeah, 855 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,239 Speaker 1: we're proud of our heritage. I'm a member of the 856 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 1: Cherokees here in Oklahoma, and you know, so proud of that. 857 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,200 Speaker 1: About ten percent of our population is part in Native 858 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,320 Speaker 1: here in the great state of Oklahoma. Just injuring, I 859 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: feel like I haven't seen the Washington Post do a 860 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,799 Speaker 1: big cover story on our first Native American governor, which 861 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,840 Speaker 1: seems kind of strange. Yeah, well, this means you have 862 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,719 Speaker 1: a lot in common governor with Elizabeth Warren, right, I 863 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,600 Speaker 1: mean Pocahona's herself. Yeah, well, you know, I think she 864 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 1: was born in Oklahoma City. But that's about as far 865 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,120 Speaker 1: as ours, our connection goes, that's for sure. And so 866 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:56,080 Speaker 1: what are you planning going forward here, governor? I mean, 867 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,399 Speaker 1: since your state is doing well right now, when things 868 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 1: are going well, you want to run up the scoreboard, right, 869 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 1: you want to get more things done. And I know 870 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 1: there are a number of Republican governors and hopefully incoming 871 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: Republican governors, who are seeing how much state governance can 872 00:52:12,239 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: really help books at a time when they're having trouble 873 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,320 Speaker 1: paying their gas, paying for the gas for the cars, 874 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 1: and food bills and rent and mortgage and everything. Because 875 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: of many decisions made at the federal level by the 876 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 1: Biden administration, it feels like it's going against them. What 877 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: are you planning to do here at the state level? 878 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 1: And I know there's some other red states. You're talking 879 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 1: to those governors too, to see how we can show 880 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,600 Speaker 1: that things can work for you, things can get better. 881 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,440 Speaker 1: What are your plans? Yeah, Well, in Oklahoma, things you're 882 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 1: going well. I mean, inflation is hurting us like it 883 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,799 Speaker 1: is everywhere across America. Everyday, working families are paying more 884 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 1: with the gas pump at the grocery store. And really, 885 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 1: if we could just spend just a minute to talk 886 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 1: about that, why that happened, and really we were energy independence. 887 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,680 Speaker 1: It's a national security issue. We were energy independence a 888 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. This administration is so far removed 889 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,240 Speaker 1: from common sense it's amazing to us. Because they choke 890 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 1: off supply, they kill the Keystone pipeline, they make it 891 00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 1: impossible to drill. But here's the problem. Demand is the same. 892 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 1: We're still driving to word, driving our kids to soccer 893 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,680 Speaker 1: practice and to school every day. We're heating our homes 894 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:24,600 Speaker 1: and our businesses. So when you choke off supply, the 895 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 1: price that the pump is going to go up, the 896 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 1: price that everything at the grocery store goes up. We 897 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:31,680 Speaker 1: need inflation relief. I've asked, I've called my legislature back 898 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,360 Speaker 1: for a special session to lower the taxes again, to 899 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,719 Speaker 1: remove the grocery tax. So we're doing some things to 900 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 1: help Oklahoma's but we need to put pressure on the 901 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,640 Speaker 1: federal government to make sure that they unleash companies in 902 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,080 Speaker 1: America and in states like Oklahoma to meet the needs 903 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 1: of our citizens, because every president of the United States 904 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: since nineteen seventy three has had an energy independence policy 905 00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,560 Speaker 1: until this administration, and their solution is to buy oil 906 00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,840 Speaker 1: from Russia to meet the demands of Americans. And so again, 907 00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,279 Speaker 1: it just doesn't make sense if you have a logical conversation, 908 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 1: but you can't with some of these folks that literally 909 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,120 Speaker 1: it feels like they're just trying to harm America. We're 910 00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,640 Speaker 1: talking to Governor Kevin Stead of Oklahoma. Governor, I'm sure 911 00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:21,520 Speaker 1: you saw that Gavin Newsom bought ads in Florida saying 912 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 1: that California was the real home for freedom in the 913 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,239 Speaker 1: United States. Now you are in Oklahoma, right smack dab 914 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,800 Speaker 1: in the middle part of the country, pretty much almost 915 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:35,960 Speaker 1: equidistant from California and from Florida. What do you think 916 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,400 Speaker 1: your constituents think about Gavin Newsom selling the idea that 917 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 1: California is the home of freedom and Florida is the 918 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:50,879 Speaker 1: home of basically you confinement. That's how delusional the left is, 919 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:56,200 Speaker 1: because everybody knows that Florida is one of the free 920 00:54:56,239 --> 00:55:00,360 Speaker 1: estates in the country. The SANTIS is doing a fantastic job. Um, 921 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,760 Speaker 1: that guy in California. He needs to. He's to focus 922 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:08,359 Speaker 1: on his homeless problem and people uh leaving leaving California, 923 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,839 Speaker 1: uh in in droves instead of trying to recruit people 924 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 1: from Florida because it's certainly not gonna work. But uh, 925 00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:17,280 Speaker 1: I think all the U hauls are down in Florida 926 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,279 Speaker 1: that have left California, and that's why he's trying to 927 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 1: get some of them back. Governor, who wins Oklahoma or 928 00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:26,719 Speaker 1: Oklahoma State in uh in the football game this year? Well, 929 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,479 Speaker 1: you know, I went to Oklahoma State, that's my alma mater. 930 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:33,600 Speaker 1: So uh but man o us uh oh us pretty good. 931 00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,359 Speaker 1: But Oklahoma State got the better of him last year 932 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,680 Speaker 1: in bettelhum. So it'll be good. You're ready, you're ready. 933 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,400 Speaker 1: You kind of dodged that one of advantage to get 934 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,319 Speaker 1: in that you're a year in alum as. Well, I'll 935 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 1: let him get away without a little controversy. Oklahoma State 936 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:47,920 Speaker 1: will win two years in a row. We'll trump, We'll 937 00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,279 Speaker 1: go over there. Good stuff. Governor will appreciate it.

His favorite thing to 996 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,640 Speaker 1: do is get on YouTube, and that's the first thing 997 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 1: my boys do when they went up in the morning. 998 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 1: You used to be or go see what happened the game. 999 00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:19,600 Speaker 1: So we're having a little bit of a little bit 1000 00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,439 Speaker 1: of connectivity issue there. But the what Clay is talking 1001 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: about are so true, which is that there are there 1002 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 1: are these platforms that tend to correspond more with different 1003 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: different age demographics, and as conservatives, we can't one mistake 1004 00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: that I think we made in the past as a movement, 1005 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 1: as as an ideology of belief system is we just 1006 00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 1: seeded a lot of the public square. We're like, well, 1007 00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,480 Speaker 1: the left controls it, so we'll just we'll do our 1008 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:50,120 Speaker 1: own thing. I mean, thank heavens we have the unsingable 1009 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 1: aircraft carrier of free speech that is this show and 1010 00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:56,160 Speaker 1: other talk radio shows like it, and thanks of course 1011 00:59:56,200 --> 01:00:00,040 Speaker 1: always to rush for building this aircraft carry into what it. 1012 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 1: But we shouldn't just allow places like YouTube and TikTok. 1013 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,720 Speaker 1: In my now, TikTok is a little different because of 1014 01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,560 Speaker 1: the surveillance issues, and we've just talked about those with 1015 01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Brian Dean Wright. But we shouldn't just say YouTube should 1016 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,880 Speaker 1: be a place that is dominated by the left and 1017 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:20,280 Speaker 1: just let it go. There's rumble, there's other platforms that 1018 01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 1: are free speech devoted, but I think we've taken all 1019 01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:25,919 Speaker 1: of the above. We fight every we fight on every 1020 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,640 Speaker 1: battlefield where we can get a foothold and try to 1021 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:32,160 Speaker 1: make as much headway as we can, especially with you know, 1022 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,560 Speaker 1: I want twenty to twenty five or twenty to thirty 1023 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 1: year olds listening to this show. I mean, obviously we've 1024 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 1: got millions of people who are our contemporaries, Clay and 1025 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 1: obviously Russia's audience, as we're so grateful stayed with us 1026 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,160 Speaker 1: in the numbers that they have given us a chance. 1027 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,920 Speaker 1: Let us try to keep this legacy going and as 1028 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,960 Speaker 1: much as we can keep the fight going really in 1029 01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,640 Speaker 1: Russia's name and in his honor. But if we can 1030 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,120 Speaker 1: reach college kids, and we can do it on YouTube, 1031 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's as saying your kids are not quite 1032 01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:02,919 Speaker 1: college age yet, but they're going to be high school 1033 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,080 Speaker 1: age here soon. Let's not let the left get away 1034 01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 1: with the brainwashing of the youth without any alternative, right, 1035 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 1: Let's not say, let's not assume, well, they'll pay taxes, 1036 01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 1: they'll turn thirty five, and they'll see reality. That is 1037 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: ultimately the most important part of all of this is 1038 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 1: we have got to be wherever that audience is. We 1039 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,400 Speaker 1: need to be in front of them on YouTube, and 1040 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,440 Speaker 1: we need to be in front of them on iTunes, 1041 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 1: and we need to be in front of them on 1042 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 1: Spotify and Stitcher and everywhere else because you can't see 1043 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:41,080 Speaker 1: the battle ground anywhere anyway. That's why it's important for us. 1044 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 1: We got the biggest radio show in the country. We 1045 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,400 Speaker 1: have got one of the biggest podcast audiences in the country, 1046 01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 1: and we want you guys, get your kids involved, get 1047 01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,840 Speaker 1: your grandkids involved, share some clips, go subscribe. It's free. 1048 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:57,360 Speaker 1: Just type in Clay and Buck on YouTube and you'll 1049 01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 1: be able to find us there, and you'll be able 1050 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,960 Speaker 1: to find us everywhere. And I can't impress upon you 1051 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:07,320 Speaker 1: enough if you're sitting around thinking, Oh, nobody cares about YouTube, 1052 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:12,120 Speaker 1: we just talked about, like Buck said, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. 1053 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,680 Speaker 1: We're trying to be omnipresident, be everywhere. And one of 1054 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,400 Speaker 1: the cool things about it is the audience isn't cannibalizing. 1055 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,280 Speaker 1: Everybody is so many different places. We had tens of 1056 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 1: millions of you download the podcast in June. Most of 1057 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 1: you listening to me right now on the podcast, including 1058 01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 1: my wife, Hi, honey, Happy birthday tomorrow. Most of you 1059 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:39,240 Speaker 1: out there listening on the podcast are not daily listeners 1060 01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,400 Speaker 1: on the radio show. The audiences feed off of each other. 1061 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,440 Speaker 1: A rising tide lifts all boats, but they don't necessarily cannibalize, 1062 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 1: which is hugely important in terms of continuing to grow 1063 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,520 Speaker 1: this audience in this influence. Now I'm excited, Clay that 1064 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,720 Speaker 1: we've got coming up here in the next hour, the 1065 01:02:55,760 --> 01:03:00,280 Speaker 1: governor of Oklahoma joining us. Governor STIs because you know, 1066 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,440 Speaker 1: one thing is we've got, you know, fantastic audiences all 1067 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,640 Speaker 1: of the country, and you know, the big states, the 1068 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:09,560 Speaker 1: big red states that we talk about off in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, 1069 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 1: and we did. We had Governor Nome from South Dakota 1070 01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,760 Speaker 1: on last week, great interview, a discussion with her. But 1071 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, we got and that's obviously a small population state. 1072 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 1: We want to give all due props and consideration and 1073 01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,880 Speaker 1: attention to some of the other red states out there 1074 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:29,960 Speaker 1: who are models of smarter, better governance, governance, and we 1075 01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 1: want the people who live in those states to know 1076 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,320 Speaker 1: that we're always thinking about what's going on with them too. 1077 01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,480 Speaker 1: So well, the governor of Oklahoma, and there's some really 1078 01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,400 Speaker 1: interesting stuff going on in his state. I'm looking forward 1079 01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,040 Speaker 1: to having him join us here in the next hour, 1080 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,480 Speaker 1: so that'll be something to talk about. Because we've got 1081 01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 1: ktok Oklahoma City listeners, We've got KAKC Tulsa listeners, we 1082 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 1: got folks in Oklahoma City, I'm sorry, Oklahoma State. When 1083 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,880 Speaker 1: we come back. Stacy Abrams is on a board arguing 1084 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,680 Speaker 1: that Defunding the police needs to happen. She's already said 1085 01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,919 Speaker 1: Georgia is the worst state in the nation. You will 1086 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 1: not believe what Stacy Abrahams has spent on private security. Buck, 1087 01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this story yet. I 1088 01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,080 Speaker 1: saw it and my jaw dropped. They want to be 1089 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,200 Speaker 1: as protected as they possibly can be, but they don't 1090 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 1: want you safe. These numbers are going to crystallize the 1091 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:26,720 Speaker 1: lie of defund the police. We're going to talk about 1092 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,000 Speaker 1: it and more along with the governor of Oklahoma next 1093 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,520 Speaker 1: Thanks for anyway the sun playing, Buck,
