1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travison buck Sexton

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: all of you as we get rolling on the Thursday

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: edition of the program. And speaking of rolling, also flying,

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: there are a lot of things to get into. Inflation

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: seven point nine percent came out this morning, a forty

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: year high. We've already got all sorts of crazy explanations

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: out there. We'll be joined by Senator Ron Johnson of

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Wisconsin at twelve thirty eastern. At one thirty eastern, Bill

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: Roggio will break down the on the ground war that

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: is taking place in Ukraine right now, and then at

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: two thirty eastern will be joined by Senator Ted Cruz

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: of Texas. So lots coming in that direction. We've got

14
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: the Bill down in Florida, and the feud that is

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: going on with Disney, the ongoing war in Ukraine. But Buck,

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: I am so mad. It's rare that I come on

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: the show angry. But in the last hour, the Biden

18
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: administration has extended for another month the requirement that you

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: wear a mask on airplanes, on trains, in airports, on

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: public transit, according to no scientific basis in logic whatsoever

21
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: anyone who has been and I'm going to focus on

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: airplanes because I think that is where much of the

23
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: angst and ire is directed now. But Buck, the only

24
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: place you now have to go in much of the

25
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: country and wear a mask is an airport, and on

26
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: an airplane. It is nonsensical, it is anti science. The

27
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: masks do absolutely nothing at all. This was set to

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: expire on March the eighteenth, and it now has been

29
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: extended until I presume April the eighteenth. I think that

30
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is going to get destroyed over this,

31
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: because we know in Congress we saw the state of

32
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: the Union. Nobody wears masks anymore, even in schools, as

33
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: dumb as it has been, kids are now not required

34
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: to wear masks most places now, either in the near

35
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: future or it's already happened. Are you as angry as

36
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,279
Speaker 1: I am about this nonsensical rule being extended. I'm furious

37
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: and also kind of break out into laughter at the

38
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: same time, because these libs are morons. I mean, they

39
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: really are. This is now Moronville. This is not I disagree,

40
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: this is not there's good faith. Let's all sit down

41
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: and look at the data and the numbers. This is

42
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: impossibly stupid. I mean, can we please try to get

43
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Pete Buddha Judge nayor p of the Transportation Administration, assuming

44
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: he's not still on paternity leave, can we get him

45
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: to come on the show. I would love to hear.

46
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't he go to Harvard a Yale

47
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: or something. I'm sure he thinks he's really smart. Please

48
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: try to defend this somebody. I'd love to have Will

49
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Lenski or Fauci come on. They would get annihilated and

50
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: they know it, and that's why they won't. Actually, somehow

51
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: this is a policy that no human being can defend

52
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: without looking like an abject fool. But it's still the

53
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: policy of the Biden administration. Pr Lady Jensaki is going

54
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: to be coming forward to say, yeah, we still just

55
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: need to keep everybody safe. And they're all these Democrat

56
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: idiots who are seeing the country fall apart around them

57
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: in a whole variety of ways. We're gonna say, yeah,

58
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: it's real safe on the planes. Now, what is wrong

59
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: with them? Clay? What percentage of our lives do we

60
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: spend it? You and I fly a fair amount, yeah,

61
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: less than one percent of our lives are spent on

62
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: the plane. Our planes a uniquely dangerous environment for the

63
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: spread of COVID. No, in fact, we know the science

64
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: says because of the HEPA filters in the planes, they

65
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: are uniquely safe place to be gathering when it comes

66
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: to respiratory viruses. And yet I'm gonna be in crowded bars, Clay,

67
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: I'm going to a crowded bar this weekend. I'm gonna

68
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: be elbow to elbow with New Yorkers telling them to

69
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: move to Florida, and it's gonna be mask free. What

70
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: possible epidemiological justification for this can there be? So I

71
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: kind of laugh because they look so stupid, But I'm

72
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: also I go back and forth because I'm also furious

73
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: because this just shows what a joke this whole thing

74
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: was for two years. It's also arbitrary and moronic. American

75
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: Airlines and Southwest Airlines both had their CEOs testify that

76
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: the mask mandate made no sense. They said that under

77
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: oath in Congress, specifically citing the extreme air filtration systems

78
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: that exist in airplanes, I want someone to explain to me,

79
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: and by the way, I presume that this means also

80
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: if you take an uber or you take a lift

81
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: that they'll technically still have their policy in place that

82
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: you have to wear a mask in those vehicles. By

83
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: the way, I want someone to explain to me why

84
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: the only place in my city that there is even

85
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: the mention of a mask. I'm gonna go get on

86
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: an airplane flight to Florida as soon as we finish

87
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: the show today Buck. Like this afternoon, I'm going to

88
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: head to the airport. I'm going to pull up at

89
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: the airport and I am going to get out of

90
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: my car, put a mask on as I walk into

91
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: the airport, and then I'm going to be required basically

92
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: to keep that mask on until I get to Florida

93
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: and step outside of the airport and can take the

94
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: mask off again. What sense can this possibly make from

95
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: a scientific basis? In the city of Nashville, and I

96
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: know there are many other airports just like this. I

97
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: will walk past Buck the indoor dining area where they

98
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: have a where they have a bar set up that

99
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: looks out into the main terminal of the airport. You

100
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: can high five people as they are walking by. People

101
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: drinking beer, eating food. They're not wearing masks. You could

102
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: if you wanted to, you got your girlfriend or your wife, husband, whatever,

103
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: you could walk over and you could kiss them right

104
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: there as they are said, there's no barrier, there's no wall.

105
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: They're looking right out into the middle of the airplane terminal.

106
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: At a minimum, Look, I think it's insanely stupid that

107
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: there are masks anywhere. But what basis is there for

108
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: a mask mandate in the airport? Like, it doesn't make

109
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: any sense in the airport. It doesn't make any sense

110
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: in the airplane, but at least you're tightly corralled in

111
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: an airplane. I'm so angry at this process. If they

112
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: just said you only have to put a mask on

113
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: in the airplane, I would be like, well, whatever, at

114
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: least you don't have to wear one in the stupid airport.

115
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: I just it rarely has get to the point where

116
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm in where I'm furious over a decision. There's no

117
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: way to justify this, And the only way I have

118
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: any sort of solace on it, buck is it just

119
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: further cements the absolute destruction that we have to see

120
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: in November. Every single person listening right now, you have

121
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: to go vote based on the covid lies that you

122
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: have been told by the Democrats, and you have to

123
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,559
Speaker 1: we have to put forward maximum pain, utter destruction, because Buck,

124
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: they're going to bring all this back. I really do

125
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: believe if they can as soon as we are through

126
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: with the midterms. I really legitimately believe as we get

127
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: into winter and fall, they're going late fall and into

128
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: winter they're going to try to bring back masks if

129
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: they haven't already done it. Their narrative for all of

130
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: us is that the vaccines were great and they did

131
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: a great job, and the mandates were necessary and that's

132
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: what got us through the winter. Now they're a little

133
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: quiet about it, because that's also absolutely absurd. The vaccines

134
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: were fun well, Lenski even admitted far less effective than

135
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: they thought, which you know, Clay, I mean, I say,

136
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: do you know what else I'm furious about? You and

137
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: I have been right about this, and honestly I'm not

138
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: just saying this. Clay and I were talking about this

139
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: is you know you can go back. We'll pull some

140
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: of the tape. I think you came on my show

141
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: in April, on the Bucks Section show in April to

142
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: talk about this, and you're like, yeah, masks. This doesn't

143
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: This is idiocy, And I'm like, yeah, Clay, great to

144
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: have you on masks. They're so stupid. Yeah. Somehow we

145
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: now on Spotify, which you know is just overrun with

146
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: leftist children. Yeah, Joe Rogan as to get banned. Yeah,

147
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: there's such babies. Somehow over there we're listed, as you know.

148
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: Basically they put this for more on every podcast now,

149
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: for more information about COVID, for more information about COVID board.

150
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: They should be putting Clay and Bucker right, clayin Bucker right,

151
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: clayin Bucker right. But this is all part of the

152
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: Soviet style rewriting of history that's going on right now.

153
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: And these are the same people who will say, yeah,

154
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm asking up on planes. It's really smart, keeps its

155
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: safe because people are morons and they think they're smart,

156
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: which is the worst part about it. They actually think

157
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: they're smarter than the people who have been right all along.

158
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: We are tagged on Spotify as though we're spreading I mean,

159
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 1: they're not blocking it, right, because then they have to

160
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: actually specify what. But they're kind of warning everybody, oh,

161
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: don't listen to this, you might get red pilled by

162
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: reality if you listen to this show. I just and look,

163
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into inflation in Ukraine and everything else.

164
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: But this news just breaking in the last hour or so,

165
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's even been officially officially announced yet.

166
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: I just I hope what percented? This is a good question.

167
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: What I would love to see a poll of the

168
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: American public that is being taken right now. What percentage

169
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: of Americans buck do you think agree with us that

170
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: it is absurdly ridiculous to require and by the way,

171
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: a mask mandate on an airplane, if you truly believe

172
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: masked work, you're wrong. But you can still wear a mask.

173
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: It's not like they're banning the use of masks. If

174
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: you truly believe that they work, you can wear them.

175
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: I think it's probably seventy thirty. Now, do you think

176
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: we're there? I think so, But Clay, I also want

177
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that we are we are clear the

178
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: policy on airplanes. And you and I have just done

179
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: a lot of flying recently, and some of the other

180
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: folks listening this will now we're talking. I know, we

181
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: got like pilots who listened to us and flight attendant

182
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: to agree with us. By the way, because they're coming

183
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: up to me. Now, yeah, the pilots give me the

184
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: thumbs up in the wink. They're like, don't worry about

185
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: believe beneath the nose, it's no big deal. So but

186
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: but it's not actually mask up on planes. It is

187
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: mask up between bites on planes. Yeah, and we all

188
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: know it. So for thirty minute stretches at a time,

189
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: you're actually totally just breathing normally in the air, but

190
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: all of them I'm in a mask up. If the

191
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: official federal government policy right now is to make people

192
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: mask up between bites in the airport and on airplanes

193
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: to protect them from a virus that the country just

194
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: got wrecked by half the country just got it basically,

195
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: and they act like they're the people who believe in science. No,

196
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: they're the people who believe that just having male genitalia

197
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: doesn't make you male. I mean, you know, this is

198
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: this is who we're dealing with. The whole time that

199
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: you're drinking well and the whole time that you are

200
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: physically chewing it. Really is maybe the dumbest thing in

201
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: our lives that adults have been made to do. Right

202
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: when your kids sometimes you have to do, like, can

203
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: you think of anything you're forty now, hey, can you

204
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: think of anything dumber that you've ever been made to

205
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: do than the masking rules when you kind of gently

206
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: welcome me into the forty plus by the way, forty

207
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: club because you can and you're over forty, you know

208
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: you actually you've got two generations now of experience on

209
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: this planet. I can't think of anything dumber that we

210
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: have made adults do in my life. That is a masking.

211
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: It is debasing, and I actually think at some level

212
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: that's the point. It's humiliating, and it's it's forced humiliation

213
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: of the public at the whim of the federal autocrats

214
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: and the federal bureaucracy and the apparatus. And I think

215
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: that's the point. It's it's meant to show you you

216
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: do what we say, you do what our most hysterical

217
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: left wing base demands, when we have the power to

218
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: make you do it, and you shut up about it,

219
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: no matter how dumb it is. It's it's humiliating, honestly.

220
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm and people who have massed shame other

221
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: people should hang their heads in infamy for all time

222
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,239
Speaker 1: for being such dumbasses. Honestly, yes, I agree with all

223
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: of that and more. By the way, lots still to come.

224
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, I want to tell you about

225
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: pure Talk customer Douglas. He lives in Indiana. He was

226
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: in touch with us about his newfound savings. He switched

227
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: to pure Talk for his cell phone service. He finally

228
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: made the switch from his cell phone carrier to pure

229
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Talk and guess what cut his phone bill in half

230
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: and he found pure talks customer service was most helpful

231
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: with everyone out there in the entire United States, and

232
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: Douglas his mind. He's now paying for just the service

233
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: he needs. And it's time you two can kick Verizon

234
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: AT and T Mobile to the curb and only pay

235
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: for the service you need and want. Pure Talk's plan

236
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: with unlimited talk, text and six gigs of data is

237
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: just thirty dollars a month from your cell phone right now,

238
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: here's how you sign up. Dial pound two fifty say

239
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: pure Talk, and you'll save an additional fifty percent off

240
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: your first month. You can be switched over to pure

241
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: Talk service in less than ten minutes. Dial pound two

242
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: five zero say pure Talk. Pure Talk is simply smarter wirelet.

243
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: Nothing has been more politicized than inflation. Just let's hearken

244
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: back to all the things we've been through. First its transitory,

245
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: then inflation is good. Then we went to corporate green.

246
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: Now we're at Putin. Welcome back to Clay and Buck show.

247
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: There's the man actually got the tea party going years ago.

248
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: If you recall on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile

249
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: Exchange saying we need a tea party, and people took

250
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: him seriously. That's Rick Santelli. But he's pointing out the

251
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: shifting excuses for seven point nine percent inflation. It's remarkable

252
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: when you see how quickly they move from it's not

253
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna last to it's no big deal, to its Russia. Right.

254
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: They're always changing the explanation for this. They're always trying

255
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: to tell you, Oh, wages are going up, don't worry

256
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: about them. They're not keeping up with inflation, that's for sure.

257
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: Here's actually over to Fox Business, Dagan McDowell saying just

258
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: that wages have not been keeping up with inflation. Wages

259
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: have been falling. Yeah, and you wages were up five

260
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: point one percent in the most recent jobs number, So

261
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: five point one percent versus inflation of almost eight percent.

262
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: That's that's somebody whose pay is not keeping up with

263
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: the guy rocking in consumer prices. But this is only

264
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: going to get worse in the weeks and months ahead.

265
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: We've been saying it's gonna get worse, Clay, the economy

266
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: is going to get worse. We have what negative growth

267
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, zero growth really for the looking like for

268
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: the first quarter. And if we go into a negative

269
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: growth quarter now we're talking recession under Biden. Oh and

270
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: the threat of possible nuclear exchange because of Ukraine situation.

271
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: It's not good right now, not good. We've still got

272
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: two million fewer people employed right now, and I think

273
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: this is important to keep beating this drum than we're

274
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: employed before we shut down the country. And by the way,

275
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: we're about to come up on fifteen days to slow

276
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: to spread, the anniversary of fit two year anniversary of

277
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: fifteen days to slow the spread. I believe that started

278
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: on Thursday of next week. Was the first time that

279
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: phrase was ever uttered to my knowledge. And so what

280
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: I thought Davia mcgowand said there is so important because

281
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: the Biden administration buck keeps trying to argue old wages

282
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: are growing rapidly, but it doesn't matter if your wages

283
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: are growing. If inflation seven point nine percent, and this

284
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: doesn't include Buck, most of the rapid run up we've

285
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: actually seen in the price of gas. Because this is

286
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: the February number, so as we move into March, it

287
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: seems likely and this, by the way, is a forty

288
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: year high. And one of the things that's interesting is

289
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: if you use the CPI index that they used in

290
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies and eighties, we would be I believe

291
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: it's over sixteen percent on the inflation rate. They change

292
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: the way that they calculate inflation, you can still go

293
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: look at that old number and if you see that

294
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: it's actually higher than it would have been in the

295
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. And I just I don't know how this

296
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: is going to end anytime soon, and certainly March is

297
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: likely to be worse than February. And the thing that

298
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: keeps standing out to me, Buck is it feels as

299
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: if every time these new inflation numbers come out, they're

300
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: considered to be a surprise. Have you noticed this All

301
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: of the economic experts consistently say, oh, this was higher

302
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: than our expectations were. Well, if your expectations are too low,

303
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: like eight or nine months in a row. Maybe your

304
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: expectations are really out of whack with the reality as

305
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the country's experiencing it. Did anyone think

306
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: that this administration really had to handle on economics and

307
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: how to create prosperity and growth. I mean, I would

308
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: love to sit down with the economists now. Unfortunately there

309
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: are a lot of very left wing economists, and Biden

310
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: will draw upon them and say, ah, they all agree

311
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: with me. But this was the most predictable thing you

312
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: could ever find. Joe Biden comes into office, they spend

313
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: one point nine trillion dollars beyond the trillions that we're

314
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: already spent on a bipartisan basis in the early days

315
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: of the pandemic. They're spending too much money. Inflation is rising.

316
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: This is not a surprise. This is what happens. And

317
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: yet they act like, wait a second, what's with all

318
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: the inflation. Well, it turns out, yeah, modern monetary theory

319
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: said this was not gonna happen. Looks like they got

320
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: that one wrong. Listener of the program asked her mom

321
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: last week what level of pain she was in, using

322
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: one to ten, ten being the highest, and her mom responded, nine.

323
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: That's the level of pain she was on. That's why

324
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: she decided to get her mom. The first delivery of

325
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: Relief Factor created by doctors, perfected over fifteen years of

326

00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,760

331
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: and about seventy percent of them go on to order more.

332
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: If you're currently in pain, had a seven and ten

333

Speaker 1: We welcome back in Clay Trobits Bucks Extent show. We

340
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: are joined by the man that Wisconsin has to send

341
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: back to the Senate. Senator Ron Johnson and Senator Johnson

342
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: appreciate you joining us. You just head off on the

343
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: Biden administration policies and how they've weakened the US and

344
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: emboldened adversaries. Let me play this for you and then

345
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: I'll bring in. It's in those early days the Biden

346
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: administration when he canceled the Keystone XO pipeline, opened up

347
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: our borders. You started pushing for uncontrolled depths of spending,

348
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: which is sparked seven half percent inflation of forty year high.

349
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: All these policies, decisions have weakened America. It's emboldened our enemies.

350
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: It's basically tempted tyrants to take advantage of the situation.

351
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: So you have now a situation where tyrants around the

352
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: rise and we're trying to react. What this administration has

353
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: done is virtually across the board enact policies that have

354
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: weakened this country. Senator Johnson, I want to start with this.

355
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: The breaking news that I'm sure you've seen the Biden

356
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: and illustration is extending the mask mandate for federal travel,

357
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: for airplanes, for buses, for trains, all these things you

358
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: guys just had the State of the Union, nobody wore masks,

359
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: mask mercifully or finally disappearing because they don't work. How

360
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: moronic is it for them to be extending the mask

361
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: mandate on airplane and air travel? Very moronic. I was

362
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: in that Commerce Committee hearing when the airline has NOTWI

363
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: said that they didn't make sense. But they've talked about

364
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: the science. They've done extensive studies of an air cabin

365
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: with Hepper filters and airline cabins. It's probably one of

366
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: the cleanest breasts of air you're going to take. So

367
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, it's completely ridiculous. But I think what it

368
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: really shows is that the people who have pushed all

369
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: this on America will never admit theyre wrong, and this

370
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: is one of the ways they, I guess, confirmed that

371
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: they weren't wrong. They continue it even though it's completely moronic.

372
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: Center it's buck I got to say, when do you

373
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: think they're actually gonna stop with all that madness? Is

374
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: it going to go away? Or could you foresee them

375
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: saying just to be on the safe side, as if

376
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: that makes any sense, they'll keep this going all the

377
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: way up perhaps to the midterm election. Yeah. Again, I

378
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: think it's you know, part the reaction is this helps

379
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: confirm the fact in their minds and hopefully for the

380
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: public in their minds that they were never wrong, that

381
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: they've been right all along, and they just need to

382
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: do this just to make it that much safer. You know,

383
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: what is really a tragedy about how they've responded to

384
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: covids relates to masses. You know, I don't care how

385
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: good an end ninety five masks might might work. If

386
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: you change out three or four times a day type

387
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: fitting out an adult, I'll tell you where it would

388
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: never work. It's not a child. Have you have you

389
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: seen children wear masks? But this was obvious from the

390
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: start that mass would never work on children, no matter

391
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: how effective they might be on an adult or healthcare worker,

392
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: they would never work on children. And yet we made

393
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: our children do this for two years. Delay speech denied

394
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: them the ability to read the expression on their teacher's face,

395
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: the smile their classmates. I mean the harm we have

396
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: caused our children, that we've put them into it, We've

397
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: plunged them into a state of fear with immature minds.

398
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, what we have done to our children is

399
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: a travesty, which is one of the reasons the people

400
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: who have voiced this honest, the COVID cartels, the COVID gods.

401
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: They can't afford to be proven wrong. And I've said

402
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: this in the past. They have the power because they

403
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: are the legacy media, they are the big tech social

404
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: media giants, they are you know, the big farm and

405
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: everybody else. They've got the power to make it very

406
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: difficult that they can't be proven wrong. I mean, let's

407
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: face you, guys are outliers. You talk radio. I wish

408
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: every American listened to you, but they don't. They listen.

409
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: They listen to the leg media. That's where a lot

410
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: of people get the news. And we still have a

411
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: lot of our fellow citizens in this state of fear

412
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: that they whipped up, and they've been very effective at

413
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: maintaining the state of fear. Well, we appreciate all the

414
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: people listening in the state of Wisconsin, including Milwaukee where

415
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: we're number one right now, and they need to make

416
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: sure they get out and work to ensure that you

417
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: get reelected because you're speaking the truth and so many

418
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: people are spreading lies, speaking of lies. Seven point nine

419
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: percent inflation rate now, Senator, and the Biden administration is

420
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: shifting all the blame now, and they're saying, hey, the

421
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: reason this is occurring is because of Vladimir Putin? What

422
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: do you think of the shifting blames as to why

423
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: we are at a forty year high for inflation both

424
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: total bs, but it's expected, It's obviously not true. We

425
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: had gasoline prices up over a buck before who had

426
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: never invaded Ukraine. This is the results of their war

427
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: and fossil fuel. And you canceled the key star on

428
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: XL pipeline G do you think that's going to reduce

429
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: the price of energy? This is the this is the

430
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: result of their policies, This is their policy goal that

431
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: they have a war on fossil fuel. You know, you

432
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: listen to the clips, the video clips of Joe Biden

433
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: during the campaign. He was absolutely dedicated to ending the

434
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: use of fossil fuels. So when you when you have

435
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: an economy dependent on fossil fuel, you restrict the ability

436
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: for people to produce fossil fuel. What do you think

437
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,479
Speaker 1: is going to happen to the price And you just

438
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: mentioned the seven point nine extent inflation rate that's accelerating.

439
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: It's not going away because the price of energy flows

440
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: through every product, and it's to a certain extent the

441
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: product prices are lagging indicator. The cost of housing went

442
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: up over the last twelve months. The rents are just

443
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: being changed. Now that's going to spark additional inflation. So

444
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 1: this isn't going away anytime soon. Of course, then just

445
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: a massive deaths of spending. The Democrats still are proposing.

446
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: And here's how much the presses in the tank for

447
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: the Democrats. They're pretty well parroting what Biden says. Yeah,

448
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: you know the solution to infallation, build back better. Let's

449
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: do some more deaths spending. This is beyond absurd, beyond moronic.

450
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: We're speaking Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. Senator, how concerned

451
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: are you that this Biden administration could get dragged further

452
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: into the Ukrainian conflict than is wise and we could

453
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: find ourselves in an open conflict with Russia. It seems

454
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: like the no fly zone idea has gotten pushed back

455
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: from this White House, but people are still concerned. How

456
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: how worried are you that they're going to mishandle this

457
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: or what do you think happens here? Well, Unfortunately, I

458
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: agree with the President Obama's Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who

459
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: said that Joe Biden was wrong and every major foreign

460
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: policy issue for the last forty years, and his record

461
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: remains unbroken. Peace surround himself the exact same advisors who

462
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: are advising probably those forty years as well. So no,

463
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: I've got a great deal concerned. He obviously didn't respond

464
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: appropriately to try and prevent Putin from invading Ukraine, that

465
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: that would have been a successful response. It's pretty galling

466
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,399
Speaker 1: in the state of the unions basically taking a victory lamp. Laugh. Hey,

467
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: look a look at the coalition people that are now

468
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: supporting Ukraine once it's been invaded. No, that our European

469
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: allies are just waking up to the fact that Russia

470
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: is that much closer to their doorstep, and all of

471
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: a sudden they're reevaluating their policies as relates to their

472
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: own defense. So you only have to look at what

473
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: he's doing crawling to Iran. You realize the US is

474
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: not negotiating directly with the Iran they refused to meet

475
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: with us. We're actually having Russia and China negotiate on

476
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: our behalf. So you think that's maybe perceived as weakness

477
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: by Russia. You think maybe that's one of the many

478
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: factors that played into Putin's calculation said, yeah, this might

479
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: be a good time to invade Ukraine because a man

480
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: Erica in the West are weak. Senator Johnson, what do

481
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: you expect to happen with the Build Back Better? I

482
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: know that it's been tabled because of Joe Mansion, but

483
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: you made an important point there that there are arguments

484
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: still being trotted out that by using parts of the

485
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: Build Back Better agenda they could that they could try

486
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: and reduce inflation, which is total nonsense. Uh. But do

487
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: you think that there is likely to still be a

488
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: big domestic spending bill rolling out between now and an

489
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: election season or do you think the Democrats are going

490
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: to end up acknowledging that they really can't get much

491
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: more done. Where are we based on your analysis of

492
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: Senate movement? Well, here's my concern is, they don't want

493
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: to be perceived as failing. They all want to spend money,

494
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: and they all want to increase Americans taxes, and so

495
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm concerned that they just might find in their own

496
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: minds a sweet spot where they can raise people's taxes

497
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: enough to allow for just enough spending. Call it desk

498
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: at neutral and go ahead and pass something like that.

499
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 1: So I'm highly concerned about that. But you know one thing,

500
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: I do want all of your listeners understand that inflation

501
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: is the Democrat tax on the middle class, on the

502
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: working middle class, no doubt is as much as Joe

503
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: Biden said he's going to increase taxes on anybody. No,

504
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: this is the Democrats tax on the middle class, on

505
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: every American. Senator Ron Johnson and Wisconsin Senator, thanks so

Speaker 1: and Buck dot Com. You may have noticed this week

537
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: that your gas prices have gone up. I want to

538
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: talk to you a little bit about why. A lot

539
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: of it has to do with Vladimir Putin. The reality

540
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: is that Russia is one of the three largest oil

541
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: producers in the world, and the fact that they have

542
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: started this conflict, invaded a foreign country, and they are

543
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: such a big producer of oil in the world is

544
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: the reason why the global oil markets are disturbed right

545
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 1: now and why your gas prices are going up. The

546
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: President is going to do everything he can to bring

547
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: down the price of gas for the American people. But

548
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: there are a few facts you should be aware of.

549
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: The US production of oil and gas is rising. In fact,

550
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: in the first year of the Biden presidency, there was

551
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: more oil and gas produced in the United States than

552
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: the first year of the Trump presidency. And there's opportunities

553
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: to produce more from here. But part of this is

554
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: on the oil companies. So there's an increased demand for

555
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: gas every year this country. The economy expands, with the

556
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: exception of COVID, of course, And so they say, well,

557
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: the first year of Biden versus the first year of Trump,

558
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: there's more oil, Okay, So then why don't we just

559
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,239
Speaker 1: kick open all the spigots, so to speak, and go

560
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: all out with as much energy. Oh, they don't want

561
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: to do that, Clay, there's some there's some dissonance here

562
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: in the position, which is they love fossil fuels. They're

563
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: all about fossil fuels, except they're going to destroy the

564
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: planet and we need the Green New Deal asap. They

565
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: cannot have it both ways, and people are picking up

566
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: on looks. She's effectively in this pr role for the

567
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: White House and White House Press Secretary, but more than

568
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: others that I can think of, she's just willing to

569
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: say whatever, it's pretty it's pretty shameless stuff you're seeing

570
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: here because the price of gas has been rising since

571
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: Biden came into office, way before anybody who's even thinking

572
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: about Ukraine. We can all see it, we all know it,

573
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: and I just want to know what exactly is Biden

574
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: going to do to bring the price down, because they

575
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: say it's not his fault the price has gone up,

576
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: but he's doing everything he can to bring the price down.

577
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: Let's not forget. These are the same morons, and I

578
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: mean the exact same people who were telling us in

579
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: the middle of January, don't worry, we're gonna send you

580
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: a billion at home COVID tests which arrived like yesterday, defunct, frozen, destroyed,

581
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: and completely useless for most people. That was a great move.

582
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: A billion tests well done, largely purchased from China. As

583
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: if that were not enough, and by the way, they

584
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: just doubled down on the testing strategy. So if you

585
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: are such a loser that you are sitting around obsessed

586
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: constantly testing yourself for COVID, you can go get four

587
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: more COVID tests for free. And I put free in

588
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: quotation marks because the media is really complicit in all this.

589
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: It's not free, We're paying for it. It's our tax dollars.

590
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: So this idea of free COVID tests that they constantly spread, no,

591
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: no, no no, it's not free. We're all paying for it.

592
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: And buck. What's going on is the Biden administration is

593
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,719
Speaker 1: poor at responding to issues that arise, but they're also

594
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: poor at forecasting the issues that might arise. And so

595
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: when they say, hey, there's no way for us to

596
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: increase production of oil and gas this quickly. We can

597
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: maybe do it by the end of the year. Well,

598
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: that's why you want to have the capacity to get

599
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: as much oil and gas out of the ground available

600
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: as you can, which is why the pipeline would have

601
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: made such a big difference. It would be coming online

602
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: about now and it would be adding eight hundred thousand

603
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: additional barrels of oil, according to the updates and things

604
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: that I have seen, which would replace all of the

605
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: Russian oil that is being purchased right now. Now hopefully

606
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: there is a lot of speculation and fluff in the

607
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: gas markets. I think that's probably the best case scenario

608
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: for American consumers, is that the price of gas has

609
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: gotten ahead of where the market based reality should be

610
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: based on speculation, and that maybe that might lead to

611
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: some retrenchment in gas prices. In the short term, it's

612
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,959
Speaker 1: going to continue to go up, I think, but maybe

613
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: in the month ahead it's going to change a little bit.

614
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: But does anybody here's the big issue, buck, Does anybody

615
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: trust the judgment of the Biden administration on anything? Because

616
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: let's just be honest here. We talk about this all

617
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: the time, because I think you have to contemplate not

618
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: only what your arguments are, but what the other side's

619
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: arguments are. What can the Biden administration argue that they've

620
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: done well a year, sixteen months into the tenure of

621
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. I'm gonna say this play. I know there

622
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: were times when, for example, and I'll just put this

623
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: out there the Obama administration. I was opposed to Obama

624
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: Care and got very involved. That was the early stages

625
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: of me leaving the CIA, coming into media, and I

626
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: would say to people, this is bad for the following reasons.

627
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: But there were people who would say, and they would

628
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: reach out to me, Hey, look, I'm I'm on my parents'

629
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: insurance until I'm twenty six. I think that's great, and

630
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: I would try to explain, well, but that's not or

631
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: the people say, you know, my pre existing condition is

632
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: covered now. And so you actually had this back and

633
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: forth of I think the tradeoff you're making is not

634
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: worth it. I think you're not seeing the long game.

635
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: But at least there was some point they were making

636
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: that you would have to address. I almost don't trust

637
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: how crappy this Biden administration is at running the country

638
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: in the sense that they don't even have anything to

639
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: point to. There's nothing like I'm just sitting here saying

640
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: you got Every decision they make seems to be contrade.

641
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: It seems to be to the detriment of the country

642
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: in a way where I don't even it's hard to

643
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: believe they're so bad at this is what I'm actually

644
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: saying it's hard to believe they could make so many stupid,

645
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: obvious blunders and decisions throughout without any response that's worthy

646
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: of the name. I mean, look at Jed Saki. It's

647
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: Vladimir's fault that they're really that's it. Yeah. Look, this

648
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: is the difference between having a good lawyer that you're

649
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: arguing against and a bad lawyer, because if you're a

650
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: good lawyer, there's probably a case you can make for

651
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: your client. If you're a bad lawyer, you're creating one

652
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: mess after another, And basically we have a series of

653
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: bad judgments that are virtually indefensible from the Biden administration,

654
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: one after the other. Such that, Buck, if you really

655
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: start to think about what their argument is going to

656
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: be at the mid terms, I struggle to even come

657
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: up with one that is logical. They may try to

658
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: say that they beat COVID, but when you're not allowing

659
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: people to fly on airplanes without wearing masks, you have

660
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: a beating COVID, and they may try to argue that.

661
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know. I don't even know what their

662
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: arguments are, Buck, I don't think they do either. Clay

663
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: Ukraine no fly zones Russia deep diving into it all.

664
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: Coming up next,
