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 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in our number three Clay Travis 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show spanning the country. I'm in LA super 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Bowl going to be taking place out here on Sunday. 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Buck is in New York City. There are so many 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: different stories that have broken during the course of today's 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: program and earlier today that we have been discussing many 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: of them. Unfortunately, non positive inflation has hit seven point 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: five percent. That is the highest rate in forty years, 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: going all the way back to nineteen eighty two was 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: the last time inflation was as high as it is today. 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: The number of Blue states that have ended their mask 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: mandate on some level continues to grow or have announced 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 1: that they will soon end their mask mandate Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: New York, Illinois, Oregon, Nevada during the course of today's 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: program has ended its mask mandate and ended mask mandates 17 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: in school. People are running scared because they are looking 18 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: even at CNN, which has Joe Biden with a forty 19 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: one percent approval rating fifty eight percent of people disapproving. 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: And to put that into context for you, when Biden 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: has lost CNN that is not ideal. Here is the 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: trajectory in September Joe Biden's approval rating and a CNN 23 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: poll fifty two percent, October fifty percent, November forty eight percent, 24 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: and now here as we are sitting in the beginning 25 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: of February, he has fallen down to forty one percent. 26 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: It is a free for all, falling situation for Joe Biden. 27 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: And there's really no strategy at play here. Biden, while 28 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: we were live on the air in the first couple 29 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: of hours, addressed the current situation, the inflation numbers and more. 30 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: One is his answer. His suggestion is, let's spend more money, 31 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: build back better. Still makes sense. According to Joe Biden. 32 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: It is a floundering failure of a Biden presidency. Here, 33 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: he was a little bit earlier, trying to address all 34 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: of these calamities does not raise anyone. If you're making 35 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: a list than four hundred thousand dollars, you're not paying 36 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: a single penny more in taxes, not a single penny 37 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: more in taxes, And it does not increase the depths 38 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: because it's paid for. It's fully paid for. Can we 39 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: understand this, everybody? It's madness First of all, inflation is 40 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: really the most regressive of taxes because it eats away 41 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: at the earnings and the buying power of those who 42 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: are dependent upon wages and don't have assets, aren't piling 43 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: money to the stock marker, aren't watching their home values 44 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: at home prices you know, currently going up all over 45 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: the place. So it's hurting people the decision to spend 46 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: this money in this way, and to spend even more 47 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: money what we're seeing, and then also the promise that 48 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: it's paid for that's never true, right, I mean, if 49 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: they can just look at the history of what ends 50 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: up happening and who ends up picking up the tab 51 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: for these things, you're going to have companies that will 52 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: do less hiring, You're going to have individuals that will 53 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: do less investing and starting of businesses. And they're talking 54 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: about a massive tax raise that simply can't be paid 55 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: for clay only by people making more than four hundred 56 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. But this is how they sell it. 57 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: They push it through. No one actually reads the text 58 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: of the bill, but I think that people are recognizing 59 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: that he just doesn't have the political capital right now 60 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: to get this Or you mentioned Joe mansion before. The 61 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: Democrat Party is not in a position to get this 62 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: build back better done, and so it just turns into 63 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: empty talking points and more class warfare rhetoric from a 64 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: guy who pretends to be Scranton Joe on the choo 65 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: Choo train all the time on Amtrak. But as we know, 66 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: lives in mansions is worth what fifteen million dollars at 67 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: least that we know of, never mind never mind the 68 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: tenth Yeah, that's right. Look, Buck, I don't even know 69 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: what Biden does at this point. Let's just kind of 70 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: walk through the scenarios that he's facing, worst border crossings ever, 71 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: murder rates for police officers that are the highest, and 72 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: over twenty five years, murder rates in many big cities 73 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: hitting all time highs. COVID is right now massively more 74 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: significant in terms of cases on this date than it 75 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: was a year ago on the same date. Deaths are 76 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: higher with COVID than they were a year ago on 77 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: this same date, and the build back better. As we 78 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: talked about earlier, Joe Manchon has basically said inflation is 79 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: so bad it's at a forty year high, that he's 80 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: not going to support any more governmental spending until we 81 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,799 Speaker 1: get our house in And so we've got this decision 82 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: with the Supreme Court, which I think will distract for 83 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: a little bit, but I don't think it's going to 84 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: be some sort of fundamentally politically game altering situation because 85 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: it's a republic I mean, it's a Democrat appointed Stephen 86 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: Bryer getting replaced by a Democrat appointed justice, like he's 87 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: floundering in a way that we haven't seen a president 88 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: flounder in many of our lives. Whoever, the pick is 89 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: for the Supreme Court from Biden's going to get through basically. 90 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean Republicans might push on some issues and do 91 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of grandstanding, a little bit of uh, 92 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, asking about judicial philosophy. But as I've said, 93 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna get through this uh A candidate. It's going 94 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: to get through with some Republican votes too. It's not 95 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: even gonna be a party. I think that it's gonna 96 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: You're gonna see a number I would say probably four 97 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: or five Republicans would go along with it, um and 98 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: and so then the rest can vote against it, knowing 99 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: that it's gonna sail through. It doesn't really matter anyway. 100 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: So I think that Biden is looking for something now. 101 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: I do think the pivot to healthcare will be interesting because, 102 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: you know, Republicans, I know it's you know, it's never 103 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: preaching to the to the choir when as as a 104 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: member of the conservative side of things, you start talking 105 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: about how we lack how we're lacking messaging appeal, or 106 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 1: we're not saying what needs to be said. What is 107 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: the GOP message on healthcare right now? What are they 108 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: saying about it? Remember, we're gonna have repeal interplace didn't 109 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: really get through under Trump. We got the skinny repeal 110 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: version that didn't even really get through. We got rid 111 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: of the individual mandate. But Democrats are gonna have to 112 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 1: come up with something, and healthcare costs are a place 113 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: where they can pick up. I think a bit of 114 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: ground here. I think that's so. I hope that the GOP, 115 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: hope the RNC have something in the tank for this one, 116 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: have something on the shelf, because otherwise we're gonna get 117 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: caught unaware because they need something clay. They're gonna have 118 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: to pull some kind of a move for Biden and 119 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: the Democrats to avoid annihilation. Yeah, we talked about if 120 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: you were advising the Biden administration as the mid terms 121 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: come closer. I think they're hoping that the Supreme Court 122 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: wipes out Roe v. Wade. I've predicted that. I don't 123 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: think they will. I think they'll allow the Mississippi Bill 124 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: to become law, which basically drops down abortion from twenty 125 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: three or twenty four weeks where it is now to 126 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: fifteen weeks. And if you actually look at the data, 127 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: the number of abortions that are happening inside of that 128 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: window are not very substantial. But it's a big battleground. 129 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they'll allow Texas. But that, to me 130 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: is kind of a hail Mary for the Democratic Party 131 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: because they're going to go after suburban women and say, oh, 132 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: you're the abortion. They tried the war on women issue 133 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: with Kavanaugh, and it actually Backpackfyer. It actually probably cost 134 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: Democrats control of the Senate in that cycle. There were 135 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: a handful of a couple of Senate seats that likely 136 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: went with the Republican, stayed with, or switched to Republican 137 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: because it was so ugly and so dishonest what they 138 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: did to Kavanaugh. Im they mean the polling inside of 139 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: West Virginia for Senator Mansion. During that something like seventy 140 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: percent of West Virginians or eighty percent of West Virginians 141 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: for example, were and that's obviously why Mansion, you know, 142 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: Mansion voter for confirmation. So I don't think the Supreme 143 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: Court is going to be their issue. I think that 144 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: they're hoping the media will carry a lot of water 145 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: for them. Nobody thinks that January six is going to 146 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: do anything other than keep people who watch thenn AN, 147 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: MSNBC entertained with their delusions of the coup that might 148 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: come at any moment, or you know, the constant threat 149 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: of white supremacy. There's just there's there's not a lot 150 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: that they can point to that isn't a disaster. And 151 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: now on the other side of the messaging as well, 152 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 1: I mean, the border needs to wait. We have remember Joe. 153 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: I think Joe Scarborough actually even Clay check this out. 154 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: He's even acknowledging it. Just because Joe Scarborough says it 155 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's not true. Everybody, I have to I 156 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: have to prevace this. Just because Scarborough says it as 157 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: loathsome as many of his ideas have been in recent years, 158 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: doesn't mean wrong he's right on both of these issues. 159 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: He's trying to preach the Democrats. Listen, this is going 160 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: to be a huge issue in twenty twenty two, and 161 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: from what I've seen, Democrats are way behind the ball 162 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: on this issue. Of course, people get angry, they'll send tweets. 163 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: I don't care if you're a Democrat and and you're 164 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: in one of those swing districts in the House, a 165 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: crime better be the top issue, one of the top 166 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: issues that you're talking about and getting crime down because 167 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: this is the issue that's on people's mind. And another 168 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: issue that's on people's mind of those swing districts that 169 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: Democrats don't want to talk about. Don't shoot me. I'm 170 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: only the piano player the southern border. Democrats never talk 171 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: about that that's on swing voters mind. Now, he's right, Clay. 172 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: But the part of this that's left out that he 173 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: won't tell the MSNBC audience is that the Democrats can't 174 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: talk about those issues because the only logical fixes to 175 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: those issues go completely counter what they've been pushing for years. Now. 176 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: I think the Democratic House is on fire and Republicans 177 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: just have to avoid getting caught in the flames themselves. Right, 178 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: because this is a referendum on the first two years 179 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: of the Biden presidency. Midterms are always a referendum on 180 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: the existing president, and so Democrats, look, there's nothing good 181 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: that they can sell, but Republicans have to avoid getting 182 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: the fire spread to them. So the Democrats can argue, oh, 183 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: the whole places on fire, and Democrats and Republicans are 184 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: equally to blame. Because I do think that will be 185 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: one of the other angles that Biden will probably try 186 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: to address, because the overall congressional approval rating is even 187 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: lower than his now. The reality is people tend to 188 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: light their own congressman and hate everybody else. Right, That's 189 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: kind of the way that polling in this situation results. 190 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: But if you're Biden and your numbers are at forty 191 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: one percent, they may try to argue, well, this is 192 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: a do nothing democratic Congress because of Republicans. I don't 193 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: think that works, But again, don't light yourself on fire 194 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: is the strategy for Republicans at this point. I also 195 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: think that there's one thing that they would have tried 196 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: if they could, which was the Obama refrain after the 197 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: twenty ten mid terms of obstruction. Obstruction, they would be making. 198 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: They try that a little bit now, and that's why 199 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: they discussed getting rid of the filibuster and all the 200 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: rest of it. But the belief was that Obama was 201 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: competent in the role and it was those big, bad, 202 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: mean Republicans standing in his way. It doesn't work that 203 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: way now because Democrats aren't even going along with Biden, 204 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: and there's not a belief in Biden's competency even from 205 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: within their own party. So that would be they would 206 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: do the obstruction, all screaming and crying about that, but 207 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: it doesn't work because you can't even get all the 208 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: Democrats in the Senate to go along, and everything's Joe 209 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: Biden's a clown. So we'll come back into all that. 210 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: We've also got Jake Becket joining us. I think we 211 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: jumped the gun on the timing there a little bit, 212 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: but he'll be joining us in a few minutes. He 213 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: is running for Senate in Arkansas. We'll talk to him 214 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: about the Super Bowl. Folks in the military who are 215 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: being relieved of duty and I'm sorry, I fired from duty. 216 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: I should say, if we're not getting the vaccine. We'll 217 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: get into all that in a few moments. Every time 218 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: you make an online purchase, you're putting your online identity 219 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: at risk. Depending on what site or what app you're 220 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: making a purchase on, there are varying layers of online 221 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 1: security involved. When you create an account or type in 222 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: your credit card info, you're at risk. Online identity theft 223 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: is a real thing, and every time you hear read 224 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: about a data breach for one company or another, that 225 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: notion is reinforced.

Right, doesn't everyone want to 239 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: see safe streets in the end of the rise in 240 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: everything from shoplifting to shootings all across the country? Right? 241 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: It is not bipartisan. Can we all agree on that? 242 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Clay and Buck show. I sit here 243 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: and ask the question aloud, because you'd like to answer yes. 244 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: But if you pay attention to what Democrats think and believe, 245 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: you can't really answer yes because they're not serious about 246 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: stopping this stuff. We talked with you, Clay brought us 247 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: up a couple of days ago. We told you all 248 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: across the country about the reality of the Reverend Owl 249 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: not being able to buy toothpaste at the local store 250 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: without it being under literal lock and key. And I 251 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: can confirm as someone who lives in Midtown Manhattan in 252 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: New York City, that is my reality of my corner 253 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: store too under lock and key, razor blades chocolate, which 254 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: really I'm a big chocolate eater. Too much probably what 255 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: is the resale market of like chocolate and also of toothpaste? 256 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: How much money can you make? You can chocolate? You 257 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: can move some Girardelli squares like like nobody's business man. 258 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: It's not hard that those those things are like cigarettes 259 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: in prison, they melt, they melt. I would think it 260 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: has a relatively short shelf life. I'm just telling these 261 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: are the craze. The easiest to steal items, or rather 262 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: the easiest to resell items or what is always getting 263 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: stolen razorblades, obviously because it's small and they're expensive. Right, 264 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: a little package of razorblades is like thirty five forty 265 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: buck And that makes sense. But so here's here's where 266 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: we are, though the reverend now says that, and who 267 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: notice how we sit here? The Reverend Awl probably disagrees 268 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: with Clay and me on you know, ninety percent of stuff, 269 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: maybe ninety five, But he says something that's fair and smart, 270 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: and we give credit for it. And one of the 271 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: reasons is because not all Democrats are even willing to 272 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: go to that place. The New York Times's own Nicole 273 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: Hannah Jones, who is the lead author of the Historically 274 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: Inaccurate or Riddled with Historical Inaccuracies sixteen nineteen project, and 275 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: she tweeted this out in response to the Reverend al 276 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: saying he doesn't like that he can't buy toothpaste that's 277 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: not under lock and key. I think that's something we 278 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: could all agree on. I feel like all Americans want 279 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: to be able to walk into a store clay and 280 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: here here is. This was in response, by the way 281 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: to the story. Initially was The New York Post had 282 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: a story about a guy walked into Trader Joe's and 283 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: shoplifted ten steaks, just just fill them in a bag 284 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: and walked out. It's probably, you know, a couple of 285 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: hundred dollars worth of produce. Nicole Hannah Jones responds to 286 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: Revernew in this way, this drum beat for continued mass 287 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: incarceration is really horrific to watch a person stealing steak 288 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: is not national news. And there have always been thefts 289 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: from stores. This is how you legitimize the incarceral state. 290 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: That's what she wrote. Just let everyone steal all the stuff. 291 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: Call I no big deal. Well, I don't think there's 292 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: anybody out there right now who's living in a city 293 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: that is willing to argue that in modern twenty first 294 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: century life, we have ever seen the degree of theft 295 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: that is occurring right now, and so it's interesting that 296 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: she considers that anecdotal story not to be news. But 297 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: anytime there's any anecdotal story that furthers her agenda, even 298 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: if it is an outlier and not representative of what's 299 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: all actually going on in the country, she jumps behind it. Look, 300 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: there is when you see the story that is an 301 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: anecdote that reflects the larger reality of what's going on 302 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: in cities. Rever Now, didn't make up that you have 303 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: to ask You could well validate it that you have 304 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: to ask someone to unlock toothpaste to allow you to 305 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: buy it in New York City. Right now, that's madness, right, 306 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,719 Speaker 1: that is absolutely crazy. And we have all known and 307 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: we have seen all of these big companies have to 308 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: acknowledge that theft has become a major issue. Really, when 309 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: did this startbuck June of twenty twenty yep, June of 310 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, late May. As all of these protests started, 311 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: people were looting, they were rioting as a part of 312 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: the mostly peaceful protests all over this country. And now 313 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: as we come up on the two year anniversary of 314 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: George Floyd, it's still going and we haven't reversed the 315 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: tide of what began. Then piece up on Foxnews Opinion 316 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: and Foxnews dot Com right now, written by yours truly, 317 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: the legacy of BLM and defund is more debt, cops 318 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: and more crime. And I make the case with the numbers. 319 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: You can go check it out, no doubt. And as 320 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: we go check it out, you know it takes care 321 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: of a lot of historical and accuracy. We were just 322 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: talking about the sixteen nineteen project and how wrong it 323 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: is about the guys and girls at Hillsdale College. They 324 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: have a couple of really important message. One is educating 325 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: and properly preparing the undergrads and grad students on their 326 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: campus for a life ahead. The second is explaining and 327 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: defending our nation's freedoms. It's what set our nation apart 328 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: since we declared independence in seventeen seventy six. One way 329 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: they do it is by sharing all of their all 330 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: of their great historical knowledge with as many people as 331 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: they can. They're even sending out right now free constitutions. 332 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: This is great if you have kids, maybe you haven't 333 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: looked at the Constitution for a while yourself.

You know, look, 358 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: I haven't been a very outspoken critic of the NFL, 359 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: But if you're gonna force, gonna make a choice, I'll 360 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: go with the Bengals. Go for the underdog. I think 361 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: they are the team of destiny this year. I like 362 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. It's good to see two former SEC quarterbacks 363 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: getting after it. Um, So I'll go for the Banks, Jake. 364 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: Now let's dive into the larger political environment. What are 365 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: you hearing from people in Arkansas? I had a great time, 366 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: great experience in Fayette ball all over the state of Arkansas. 367 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: We were there for the Arkansas Texas game, one of 368 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: the I think the biggest crowd ever in Razorback Stadium there. 369 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: I love being able to interact with football fans because 370 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: it really feels like the heartbeat of America very often, 371 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: particularly college football fans. What are you hearing from your 372 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: potential constituents the most as you travel the state of 373 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: Arkansas and run for the Senate there? Well, first of all, 374 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: it was great to have you in Fayetville for that game. 375 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 1: And you know, Arkansas and just had a big basketball victory. 376 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: Who just knocked off Number one Auburn saw that a 377 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: heck of a heck of a storming of the court 378 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: scene there in Fayettville over that win. That was a 379 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: big one for Eric Musselman. Absolutely, and that's where I 380 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: was going. You know, We've we've had two you know, 381 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: we've stormed the field after the UT game, We've stormed 382 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: the court after the Auburn victory. And I'm so proud 383 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: of SEC country because we have been holding the line 384 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: on this COVID tyranny from the beginning. You know, I 385 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: think we've led the charge. We've led the fight to 386 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: restore some sanity to this country because you can't escape 387 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: the images on TV people around the country, and you know, 388 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and New York and DC, they're seeing 389 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: all these SEC stadiums fully packed. They're seeing students pack 390 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: into the student sections from the great time. You see 391 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: them scorming the field Inteville Razorback Stadium or in Bud 392 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: Walton Arena, and it just it never made since with 393 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: these braconian lockdowns and mask mandates and vaccine passports that 394 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: their reality was in those coastal liberal elite cities. So 395 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: look at in Arkansas. People are fed up, they're angry, 396 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: they're ready to take our country back. That's part of 397 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: the reason why I'm running for the US Senate is 398 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 1: because there really is a huge gap between the beating 399 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: heart of the grassroots, the base of the Republican Party 400 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: and these establishment career politician rhinos who were in DC. 401 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: And part of the reasons why I'm running just to 402 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: close that gap. Speaking of Jake Becky at former Army 403 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: ranger and a former NFL player running for Senate in Arkansas, Jake, 404 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: as you've seen, no doubt, some members of the military 405 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: have been fired, have been kicked out for vaccine refusal, 406 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 1: and that's coming right before. Of course, we have a 407 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: lot of vaccine mandate and mask mandates, essentially suspensions going on. 408 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: Right They're stopping, at least for our period of time 409 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: some of these programs and a lot of states, the 410 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: blue states, you don't have to worry about this in 411 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: Arkansas the same way, what do you think should be 412 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: done for the folks? And if you were to be 413 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: in the Senate, what would you like to see the 414 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: federal government due for anyone who's been involuntarily separated from 415 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: and or you know, fired from the military for vaccine refusal. Well, 416 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: this is an issue that is near and dear to 417 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: my heart. I was recently a rifle platoon leader in 418 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: one hundred and first Earborn Division, and look, some of 419 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: the bravest and best soldiers that I ever served with 420 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: are being forced out of the military. Some have already 421 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: been fired due to these insane, tyrannical vaccine mandates. You know, 422 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: if I'm elected to the US Senate, I will leave 423 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: the fight to either restore these troops to active duty 424 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: status with full back day or just give them the 425 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: money in the retirement they are owed as if they 426 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: were never fired. It's an absolutely ridiculous situation that we're in, 427 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: that we are firing some of the most elite troops 428 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: in this country, including Navy Seals, Green Berets, you know, 429 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: some of the some of the bravest Americans, you know, 430 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: some of our bravest fellow citizens who have sacrificed so 431 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: much for this country, laid it all on the line, 432 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: and look at this one story. Anecdotally, I'm a good 433 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 1: friend of mine's marine. He came home from Kabul, Afghanistan. 434 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 1: He was part of that bodged withdrawal in Afghanistan. The 435 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: Biden administration just completely screwed up, and upon returning after 436 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: serving his country over in Afghanistan, upon returning, he was 437 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: forced to retire from the military because of the vaccine mandate. 438 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's absolutely insane. I'm never going to stand 439 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 1: for it. I salute some of the you know, one 440 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,719 Speaker 1: of the few brave US Senators, Ron Johnson, who has 441 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: been you know, holding the administration accountable. He's you know, 442 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: bringing some very interesting information to light. I'll leave it 443 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,719 Speaker 1: at that. And I think there's going to be a 444 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: critical mass of new leaders in Washington who are going 445 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: to expose the fraud in the absolute wise that the 446 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: American people have been told in our watchword has to 447 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: be accountability. Accountability for doctor Founchiv's unelected bureaucrats and the 448 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: corrup politicians in both parties who have imposed this COVID 449 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: tyranny upon America. Jake, by the way, we're going to 450 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 1: have doctor sorry, Senator Ron Johnson on tomorrow with us. 451 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: He's been a great guest on Clay and Buck obviously 452 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: running for reelection in the state of Wisconsin here coming 453 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: up in November. You just mentioned doctor Fauci. We've had 454 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: Rand Paul on the show, obviously Rand as a doctor, 455 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: and he has said that we should hold doctor Fauci accountable. 456 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: If you're elected to the Senate from Arkansas, and we're 457 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: talking to Jake Bocquett, former NFL player, former Arkansas razorback, 458 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: also a soldier, what would you consider accountability for doctor 459 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: Fauci looked like as a senator from Arkansas, if you 460 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: have the ability to be asking him questions. Look, I 461 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: think he should be held accountable. He should first and 462 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: foremost be brought before hearing them, both the House and 463 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: the Senate. I was among the first to sign the 464 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 1: Michael Knowles Pledge to hold doctor Fauncie accountable too if elected, 465 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: reduce his salary to zero. He should be paid nothing 466 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: by the American taxpayer. And quite frankly, I think he 467 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: belongs in prison. I think he should be liable to 468 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: criminal prosecution for the lies he has told to the 469 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 1: American people, for the untold damage that has been done 470 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: to our country, the small businesses that have been shuttered, 471 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: lives that have been shattered young people who have been 472 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: driven to drug abuse and societal disruption. It's totally insane 473 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: that the children across this country. I think a story 474 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: that hasn't been told enough is the complete collapse in 475 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,479 Speaker 1: achievement among standardized test scores across the country. You know 476 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: that some of these left winning outlets have been have 477 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: begun to let some of this information trickle out. But 478 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: I think the last couple of years have been an 479 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: absolute disaster for the progress, the intellectual and social development 480 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: of so many young children across this country, and the 481 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: consequences of which are going to reverberate for years to come. 482 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 1: And so, as I said again, accountability if the watchword, 483 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: and I think that includes, you know, possible imprisonment. Jake, 484 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: what's your site for folks who want to learn more 485 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: about you and your race for the Senate in Arkansas? 486 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: So my website is Jake Beckett dot com.

I mean we 539 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: are we are racked and stacked in terms of guests 540 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: right now. We've got oh gosh, doctor Marty McCarry on 541 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: natural immunity. Turns out natural immunity it's really good, kind 542 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: of a big deal, very durable, very helpful, very effective, 543 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: and they just suppressed it because they're anti science totalitarians 544 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: and you know Fauci and the rest of them. We 545 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: got Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin. I said, do you 546 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: convince him to run free election? Clay, I feel like it, 547 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: and then he did it. I hope I had an 548 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: impact because it takes true bravery for him to be 549 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: throwing the punches that he has been filled with truth, 550 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: accuracy and scientific basis in reality on COVID because he's 551 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: been one of the guys buck that has been most 552 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: readily attacked by left wing COVID Coronabro losers right. And 553 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: he needs to win in Wisconsin. And I know we 554 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: got a monster audience in Milwaukee that listens to us 555 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: every day. We're number one in that market, and you 556 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: guys need to turn up in a huge magnitude to 557 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: support him this November and make sure that he gets reelected. 558 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: And just because he's great, he's our buddy and he 559 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: always has insightful things to say. We got our friend 560 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: Will Caine from Fox News Johnny as Well talk about 561 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you guys are gonna do the whole, 562 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: you know, the football discussion thing of the football watching folks. 563 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: I feel like I have to Super Bowl Sunday, just 564 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: you know, because I'm an American and I got to 565 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: watch the Super Bowl. So I feel like I'm a 566 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: part of this whole thing. But you guys can have 567 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: a whole talk about that. We've also got other things 568 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: to discuss. To be sure with Will Kine, He'll be 569 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: joining us. We're excited about all of that. Uh, we 570 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: got another Williamson County. You know, look at this, Clay, 571 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 1: Williamson County, Tennessee. Our buddy Jerry's calling in. What's up? Jerry, Hey, guys, 572 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: thanks for your voices. Clay laid out a list for 573 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: the DEM's mid term strategy. I'd like to add one. 574 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 1: I believe the Ukraine Russia threat of war with Millie's 575 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: estimate of possible eighty five thousand troops won't happen and 576 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: they will credit their great diplomacy for saving thousands of lives. Yeah. Probably, 577 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: that's actually I think you're right. If if there is 578 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: no war, they're gonna act like Biden stop the war. 579 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: Seeing though, that's a good, good point, Jerry, because Clay, 580 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, it really depends on what Putin thinks he 581 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: can get out of this. I think that Biden, no 582 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 1: matter what, was going to be essentially a backseat player 583 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: in it. It's just Biden in that seat instead of Trump. 584 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: Makes it feel like Putin can push a lot further, 585 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: a lot faster. That's that's the difference. But it wasn't 586 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: going to be a decide or one way or the 587 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: other forty one percent approval according to that CNN poll, 588 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: which is probably exaggerated, right, fifty eight percent disapproval. But 589 00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: do you have any confident, that confidence that if we 590 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: get the red wave that we anticipate getting in twenty 591 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: twenty two, that Joe Biden has any possibility of digging 592 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: himself out of the hole. You know, we saw it 593 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: happen with Clinton in ninety four, we saw it happen 594 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: with Obama in twenty ten. They at least had the 595 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: political savvy to pull themselves out of the gigantic hole 596 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: they were in. I don't think Biden does remotely have 597 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: that chance. If Biden was able to pivot, get serious 598 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: and essentially co opt a bunch of Republican ideas that 599 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 1: are popular enough with independence and with enough Democrats that 600 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: he could he could put but you would and then 601 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: Clinton triangulation, whatever you want to call it, I think 602 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: there's no chance he does that because first of all, 603 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,479 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the political capital, and second of all, 604 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: he's dealing with a lunatic, commy riddled Democrat Party now, 605 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 1: I mean, they have completely shifted to the far left 606 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: and some of the vanguard if you want the Democrat Party. 607 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: Some of the most powerful voices within it are just 608 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: talking about crazy stuff. I mean, it's it's insane. They 609 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: focus on the climate change and the support that they 610 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 1: went through for defund police, all these ideas, the open 611 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: border situation. So I think they're they're in for a 612 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: lot of trouble. But I do think could happen though, 613 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: wondering I throw this your way if it is the 614 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: red wave that we hope for and are gonna push 615 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: for all the time. And I want ever to know 616 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: also we're gonna push Republicans after they win, like I 617 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: don't want any of this. We have a red wave, 618 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: and then it's all we should all be nice to 619 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 1: Fouchie now you know. No, No, I want to Fouchie hung. 620 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: Hug is the wrong word. I want him be held accountable, 621 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: and I don't want him hung. I want him to 622 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: continue to be able to live. I want him held accountable. 623 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 1: And I'm afraid that there will be some push to 624 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: just say, hey, let's pretend none of this ever happened. No, 625 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: no, no no, no. We need a nine Levin style commission. 626 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: We need Republicans in control of the House in the 627 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: Senate to find out how COVID happened, and to hold 628 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: the highest paid taxpayer funded bureaucrat in our entire industry, 629 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 1: doctor Fauci account. If if it is the red wave, 630 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: we'll have to see if that pushes Biden toward the 631 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: step down maneuver that many of us have thought was 632 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 1: going to be the game plan all along, because at 633 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: least then they could say there's a change, there's a shift. 634 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: They can even say it was because of health reasons, 635 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 1: and which is totally plausible when you're basically eighty right, 636 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: But I wonder what they're gonna do. Could then Kamala 637 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: step into the role? How does that all play out? 638 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we'll have to see Ron in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. 639 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,919 Speaker 1: We got about a minute rom what's up? Cool? I'll 640 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: make it quick. Who's the most annoying Democrat? You know, 641 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: you should do a survey? Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Alexander 642 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: Acostia or Biden's favorite bird dog girl Jensky. She just 643 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: covers him. She's a bullish he uses the press course, 644 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: so average people go, why did she say that? If 645 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: we were in elementary school, she'd do the spoiled little 646 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: brad everybody hate it. That's my point. You should do 647 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 1: a survey though, top ten annoying Democrats. I gotta tell you, 648 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: I don't thank you so much. Ron, interesting question. I 649 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: don't have a most annoying Democrat front of mind. Although 650 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 1: Pelosi does really bug me in a deep way, I 651 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: don't Saki is not the top ten worst. I'm just 652 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: gonna say, maybe I like redheads, but Saki is not 653 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: the worst. Well, and she's got an almost impossible job. 654 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: She has to try to defend the idiocy of the 655 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 1: Biden administration every day, and that's really difficult to do 656 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: when he got a fifty eight percent disapproval rating even 657 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,680 Speaker 1: by CNAM. I'm just gonna say it's fauci. She's probably 658 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: most I think of him, was the worst person in America, 659 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: not the worst Democrat. But you know, John Saki endorsed scarfs, 660 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: some white claws. I'm sure she's fun company. Anyway, you 661 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: were the scarfs
