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 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in the Thursday edition Clay Travis 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. We wish we had better news 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: for you, but we unfortunately told you exactly where we 5 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: would be sitting starting today's program. At a unfortunate forty 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: year plus high on many measurable inflation data, September did 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: not get any better for the Biden administration. Inflation rose 8 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: eight point two percent in September. That is the big number, 9 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: but the core inflation rate was up six point six percent. 10 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: That is a forty year high, going all the way 11 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: back to August of nineteen eighty two. So the Inflation 12 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: Reduction Act, which actually increases inflation, has not in any 13 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: way made things any better. And stop if you've heard 14 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: this before, everybody out there said, wow, this inflation is 15 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: even worse than we expected. Let me play you a 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: couple of cuts as this number came down at eight 17 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: thirty am this morning. Let's start with Fox Businesses Cheryl Cossone. 18 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: Here's what she said. So we're looking at a month 19 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: over month gain a point four percent. The estimate was 20 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: point two percent month over month, coming in at point 21 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: four percent year over year eight point two percent, that 22 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: is hotter than expected. Again, coming in month over month 23 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: hotter than expected at point four percent, and again eight 24 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: point two percent is the headline CPI number for the 25 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: month of September, that is hotter than expected. Let me 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: contextualize this with a couple of more cuts from a 27 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: variety of media sources. CNBC Steve Leiseman says, you can't 28 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: even say that inflation has peaked yet. Everything that look, 29 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: they had been medium term to long term wrong, short term, 30 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: they've been right when they've been coming forward. And you 31 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: had Mester who took a little heap the other day 32 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: saying you can't even say inflation has peaked yet. Well, 33 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: you can't even say inflation has peak yet, at least 34 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: in these numbers. We can argue about whether or not 35 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: the FEDS watching the right numbers. And then finally, CNN's 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: Christine Romans, this is the one I want to hit 37 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: you with, highest since August of nineteen eighty two, forty 38 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: year highs. Listen to this. The fet has been raising 39 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: interest rates now for months, and these numbers are still 40 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: near forty year highs. And when you dig inside these numbers, 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: and this is what everyone's really paying close attention to. 42 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: When you strip out food and energy, that core inflation, 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: annual core inflation six point six percent, that is the 44 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: highest since nineteen eighty two. So that is a fresh 45 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: forty year high for core inflation. And month over month 46 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: core inflation zero point six percent. That matches what we 47 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: saw in August. Overall inflation. You can see on a 48 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: line chart how it's off the worst levels that we'd 49 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: seen earlier this year, maybe showing signs of turning or peaking. 50 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: And that's what everybody wants to know. Okay, So Buck, 51 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: it ain't good. I mean, first of all, the fact 52 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: that there's this worse than expected. It has been worse 53 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: than expected pretty much every month for the last eight 54 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: months or so. Every month it feels like they're like, oh, 55 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: it's worse than expected. Here's something that's very important I 56 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: think for everyone to keep in mind. Here. Joe Biden, 57 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: what was it a day or two ago speaking to 58 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: Taper over at CNN that interview, and he says, oh, 59 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: look at the people that are saying we're you know, 60 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: we're going to have a recession. They've been saying it 61 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: and saying it put that aside. For a second, look 62 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: at the people who have been saying since the beginning 63 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration, we are going to have really 64 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: bad inflation if you don't stop spending like lunatics, and 65 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: that is what we have. So we've been right on this. 66 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: When you think about how the Tea Party came to 67 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: prominence or came to be in two thousand and nine 68 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: because of the Obama administration spending basically eight hundred billion, 69 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: nine hundred billion dollars in stimulus. Biden came into office 70 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: and was like two trillion, just let's do it one 71 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: point nine trillion, I mean, right off the bat, not 72 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: a single Republican vote, and then they did the Inflation 73 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: Reduction Act, which does anyone actually think that's reducing inflation? 74 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: Of course not. They want to separate the cause and 75 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: effect here because we've been telling them the other side. 76 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: The Republicans have been saying, you're spending too much money, 77 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: the government is putting too much currency into circulation, you've 78 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: got to stop. And now we were right and they 79 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: were wrong. There's this pattern. Hey, if you undermine cops 80 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: and you have progressive prosecutors, you're going to have lawless, 81 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: crazy streets and a lot of crime and violence. That 82 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: is what has happened. Hey, if you make it really 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: easy for people to come into this country and you 84 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: don't do any interior enforcement of illegal immigration, you're going 85 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: to get even more illegal immigration. That is what happened. 86 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: And with inflation, we've been telling them exactly what is 87 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: going to happen, Clay, And here we are and the 88 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: American people are presented with this and Democrats have no 89 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: real answer other than it's not that bad. Look at 90 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 1: how low unemployment is right now, We're not going into recession. 91 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: You and I've been saying inflation is going to be 92 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: really bad. We were right. We've also been saying we're 93 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: heading into a bad recession. Who wants to place bets 94 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 1: on the guys who have been right on that versus 95 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: the guys who were wrong, as in the Biden regime 96 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: on inflation, on inflation and recession. So we played all 97 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: those cuts coming out at a thirty am Eastern. I 98 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: wanted to do that because Democrats knew, even though they 99 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: publicly are arguing otherwise, that these numbers were likely to 100 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: be really bad. And the significance here is this is 101 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: really the last economic data that is going to come 102 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: out before the midterms. We're sitting at twenty six days out. 103 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: A lot of you are already able to vote through 104 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: early voting, or you're voting through absentees or whatever it 105 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: may be. A lot of you have already cast your ballots, 106 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: and everybody out there should go vote. But this basically 107 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: bakes in there's no argument the Biden administration can make 108 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: now that they have inflation in any way under control. 109 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: And to a couple of things that are significant. One, 110 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: there's one buck online source where you can bet on 111 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: elections in the United States. It's called the Predicted Markets. 112 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: You guys can look it up. I like to watch 113 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: all of the offshore, all of the overseas. But in 114 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: this newest in this United States market, for the first 115 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: time in months, Republicans are now favored to take the Senate. 116 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: So things are all breaking in a very positive direction 117 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: for Republicans. On top of that, look at what they did. 118 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: This is at least the second time Buck that the 119 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: January sixth Committee has scheduled a hearing on the day 120 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: that inflation is coming out. Oh Clay, what do you mean, 121 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm coming over your place? I got the popcorn ready, 122 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna watch the January six hearing. It's gonna be amazing. 123 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: But if we had a real media when they are 124 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: talking to all of these committee chairs that are involved 125 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: in January six, they would say, wait a moment, you 126 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: canceled the hearing a couple of weeks ago because there 127 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: was a hurricane, and you intentionally chose this date on 128 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: the calendar for at least the second time when inflation numbers, 129 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: we're going to be coming out. My point is they 130 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: are trying to run from inflation and basically pull a 131 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: pivot and say, oh yeah, inflation's forty year highs. It's 132 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: really bad. It's not getting any better. But look at 133 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: what happened back on January six those awful Trump Republicans, 134 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: the maga's, they're trying to destroy the country. Let me 135 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: tell you something. Inflation at forty year highs is more 136 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: of a threat to American democracy than anything that happened 137 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: on January sixth. Not to mention, it's a direct attack. 138 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: Every single time you pull your wallet out. If you 139 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: want to really mess up, im miserate, and even in 140 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: its most extreme form, destroy a country. Debasing and ultimately 141 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: destroying its currency is one of the most effective ways 142 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,239 Speaker 1: to do it. I'm not saying that we're at that point, 143 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: but we've been pushing the limits here and people are 144 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: feeling the pain from it, and Democrats won't stop. They 145 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: can look, look what they just did. Democrats in the 146 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: House all voted for you know, build back Better. Democrats 147 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: in the House voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, and 148 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: the same thing, same thing with basically all of the 149 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: Democrats senators. So we'll actually, well, Joe Mansion too, but 150 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: he just voted for the you know, the lesser version 151 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: of build back Better. And so we sit here and 152 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: we say, does this all matter to people or not? 153 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: I mean, this is really the question going into the election. 154 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: Do you want the failures of the Biden administration which 155 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: are obvious now there really isn't. I think it's so 156 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: important that we always, you know, bring out what the 157 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: argument of the other side is with these things, right. 158 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes, as we know, it's you know, oh, 159 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: the right is racist, and that actually is their argument. 160 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: They won't really argue that on inflation. They'll argue that 161 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: on a whole lot of other things, and that's a 162 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: bad faith argument, but on this they really don't have one. 163 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: I mean they're they're effectively just saying, you know, trust us, 164 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: as in the Biden regime, we know what's best for you, 165 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: will get you through this. There's more work to do. 166 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: You hear that line from them all the time. No, 167 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: you guys suck at this. This has been really bad. 168 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: This has been a disaster, and you need adults who 169 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: can actually read a balance sheet or at least do 170 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: basic math to be making more of these decisions. Things 171 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: would be far better if Joe Biden had done nothing. 172 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: Yes right, goodlock would be amazing. What's the numbers one 173 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: rule of doctors, first, do no harm. Joe Biden has 174 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: done a great deal of haunt of harm. And remember Buck, 175 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: as much as he spent the trillions of dollars he 176 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: spent on all Democrat votes since he came in, he 177 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: wanted to spend over five trillion dollars on build back 178 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: better like that was the initial asking price that they 179 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: put out there, And eventually I don't trust that it's 180 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: going to only cost eight hundred billion dollars, but I 181 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: think that was the final cost of whatever the build 182 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: back Bill ended up being called the Inflation Reduction Act. 183 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: I guess is what they eventually ended up calling that thing. 184 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: And remember Buck, it was only what like two months ago, 185 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: with a stroke of a pen, he spent another four 186 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars plus trying to eradicate student loans, which 187 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: is going to end up in a court proceeding. Probably 188 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: for you, that's inflationary as well as that's inflationary. I mean, 189 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: Clay Biden, as we all know, is effectively a cognitively 190 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: challenged puppet of the hard left in this White House. 191 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: That's what's actually going on now. They haven't been able 192 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: to get full Bernie Sanders policies through because there are 193 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: Democrats that are invulnerable states that want to keep their jobs. 194 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: So they've got to tow that line between letting people 195 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: know who they really are and letting people letting the 196 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: left get its way. But Biden is, by no means 197 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: fiscally when it comes to economics, a moderate, a sound, 198 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: steady hand. I mean, I also think that he clearly 199 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: lacks and many of the advisors around him lack the 200 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: understanding and judgment necessary to be able to push for 201 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: worthwhile ideas that would create growth and prosperity. But this 202 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: is a mess. It's the number one issue. Everyone knows 203 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: we're heading into recession. The country's basically, the country's in 204 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: a bad mood right now, and the country should be 205 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: in a bad mood right now because we've got idiots 206 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: in charge. We got the worst economic environment in many 207 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: of our lives and the most ill suited knowledge of 208 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: economic leadership that we've probably ever had in the White House. 209 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: That's not a good combination. Yeah, and they keep pointing 210 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: to Trump as you say, January six hearings today, it is, 211 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: it is pathetic. It is it was so transparent that 212 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: they must know that. But play to the earlier point. 213 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: If they had a good argument for what they've done 214 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: with spending and how it hasn't led to inflation, we 215 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: would tell you they did this. Biden. Did you know 216 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: those little stickers, That's why they were so brilliant, little 217 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: stickers with Biden the gas prices. There should be those 218 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: little stickers, but they should be on every website looking 219 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: at the inflation, the CPI index, and and by the way, 220 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: mortgage rates are the highest they've been in twenty weeks. 221 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: There's that. We've got audio on mortgage rates. And I 222 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: know a lot of people out there you've been looking mortgages. 223 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: It's rough out there in mortgage level. Yeah, we'll tell 224 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: you how rough it is if you have not bought 225 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: a home. And again, I think the big part about 226 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: mortgages not just buying homes, it's how many people won't 227 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: leave their homes now if they happen to have a 228 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: good mortgage rate because of how much more they're going 229 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: to have to pay to borrow to move somewhere else. 230 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: And all this ties in with the economic collapse unfortunately 231 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. It's causing real issues for car insurance, 232 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: home insurance, life insurance, food insurance. We have all these things, 233 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: but how many of you out there are protected In 234 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: the event the supply chain crisis gets even worse. It 235 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: can change in a hurry, Which is why I'm encouraging 236 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: you to do what I've done for my family, and 237 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: let's go to prepare with Clay and Buck dot com. 238 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: My Patriot supplies the nation's largest preparedness company.

Prepare with Clay and Buck dot com. Welcome back, 251 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: Clay and Buck breaking down the big election stories for 252 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: you here were just a few weeks away, and one 253 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: race that could very well go in the GOP column 254 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: that would send a shockway through the political establishment is Oregon. Politico, 255 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: the left wing political site, had this story up today. 256 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: Oregon is suddenly in jeopardy, like it's facing an earthquake 257 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: or something that suddenly the state of Oregon is in jeopardy, 258 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden wants to help you know why. It's 259 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: it's quote in jeopardy because Christine Dreysen is doing a 260 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: heck of a job running your campaign and might actually 261 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: win this governor's race. And the Libs will cry, she's 262 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: with us now, Christine, thanks for calling back. Thanks so 263 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: much for having me. It's great to be back. So look, 264 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: there's so many issues that we want to break down 265 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: that you will. We have a little bit of time. 266 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: I asked Clay this before. We're talking a lot about 267 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: the crime issue here, but Oregon was one of the 268 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: crazier states, certainly in Portland, I would and the surrounding 269 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: areas for COVID stuff. Is that what is what is 270 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: getting people behind you more than anything else? Is it 271 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: just the economy and crime? What's the third issue? It's well, 272 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: it's definitely a thousand cuts. It's affordability. We are one 273 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: of the least affordable states in the nation. And when 274 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: our you know, major urban corps, used to be one 275 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: of the safest places in the nation. Now it's now 276 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: it's one of the least safe. Crime skyrocket, it's hard, 277 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: it's expensive to live here. Our schools are a mess. 278 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: They our schools had a longer shut down than California 279 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: for our students. I mean, just to put that into perspective, 280 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: and our ACT scores and all of our standardized testing 281 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: show that our kids are in a real bad way 282 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: and parents are upset. I mean, you name it, you 283 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: name the category, you name the issue, and under single 284 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: party control and Democrat leadership in my dear home state, 285 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: we are in a ditch. Christine. I saw that Phil 286 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: Knight donated a million dollars to your campaign. He's a 287 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: founder of Nike. I don't know that he's known to 288 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: be a Republican donor, but when I saw this, it 289 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: was emblematic. I thought of the appeal that you are creating, 290 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: and I'm curious if you could kind of put this 291 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: into perspective for us. But even people who might not 292 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: be traditional Democrats in Oregon are saying things are broken here. 293 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: We have to try something different. I'm assuming Phil Knight 294 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: is one of those guys. He's a business guy. He 295 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: understands how to make money. He's run a very successful business. 296 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: Are you seeing a lot of people who may be 297 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 1: traditional Democrat voters coming to your side because they just 298 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 1: recognize how broken things are in organ right now? So absolutely, 299 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: I mean this is not a partisan race. This is 300 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 1: really a very simple question for all Oregonians, and that 301 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: is are you better off today than you were four 302 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: years ago? Are you better off today than you were 303 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: eight years ago? Democrats have had complete control of our 304 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: government now for a decade, so they've had an opportunity 305 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: to show what their leadership looks like. So the simple 306 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 1: question for all Oregonians, regardless of parties, are you better off? 307 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: And if you're not, we need change? And that's really 308 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: really what is what's behind the energy and the momentum 309 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: of this campaign are Oregonians recognizing that the problems that 310 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: we have they're solvable. We can do this, We're capable 311 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: of doing this. We have an amazing, beautiful state with 312 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: fantastic people that are innovative and hard working, and yet 313 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: we find ourselves on issue after issue in some deep 314 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: decline right now. And I was, you know, thankful and 315 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: honored to have so night support in this race. But 316 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: his support comes after thousands of Oregonians have already weighed 317 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: one on this race and say we are supporting change. 318 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: We're standing up a balance now, but we believe in 319 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: the future of our own state and to get this done. 320 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: We can't keep doing the same thing. We're speaking of. 321 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: Christine Draysen. She is in some polls up ahead folks 322 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: in Oregon. So to say this race is winnable is 323 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: almost something of an understatement. It's It's looking good right now, 324 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: but we got to keep the momentum going behind drays 325 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: by the way, as are people walking around saying amazing, 326 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: amazing Draisin or is that is that not called on yet? 327 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: You know what? That that could take off? From today on? 328 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: There we go hashtag amazing Drayson um And I'm just wondering, 329 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: is Brown the current governor? Is she doing what she 330 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: can to make it seem like she's been more moderate 331 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: than she is, which we see in some states where 332 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: Democrats are effectively pretending like, oh I didn't, I'm not, 333 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: I don't hate fracking and want to defund the police. 334 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: It's like, well you did until five minutes ago. Or 335 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: is the current governor's position in your state of Oregon. 336 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm just going to ride the left wing loudy Tune's 337 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: express and see where it takes me. Yeah. Yeah, She's 338 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: definitely the latter in that in that camp. The most 339 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: interesting thing about this race is my opponent, Tina Cotech, 340 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: has been, you know, arm in arm with Kate Brown 341 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: throughout her entire administration, directing our state further and further 342 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: out of the mainstream and deeper into decline. And now 343 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: when we have joined appearances together. She is, you know, 344 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: saying that Kate Brown is not a strong leader, and 345 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: Kate doesn't, you know, get everything wrong, and she's the 346 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: reason we're in this terrible position. And what we really 347 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: need is another Democrat that shares all the same values, 348 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: that can just do more the same. And she unabashedly 349 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: throws Kate Brown under the bus. And so that's really 350 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: how you know where the state of the race is. 351 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: When the incumbent governor is just such a drag on 352 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: the Democrat ticket that they have to run from her, 353 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: and in fact, they're choosing Biden over Kate on a 354 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: daily basis as the banner for their candidacy. It is 355 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: it is really really shocking. But that's just how unpopular 356 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: Kate Brown is in the state of Oregon. Her leadership 357 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: harmed our states and regardless of party, folks know it. Christine. 358 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: When you initially started your campaign, I'm sure a lot 359 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: of people said, haha, Republicans never going to get elected 360 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: in Oregon. As Buck referenced, a lot of the polls 361 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: have you ahead. You are going, I believe, to be 362 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: the next governor of Oregon. But I'm curious there hasn't 363 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: been a Republican governor in Oregon since the nineteen eighties. 364 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: We're twenty six days till the election. Do you expect 365 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: for Democrats to get desperate and really nasty now that 366 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: they see you as a legit threat, maybe in a 367 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: way that they didn't in June and July. As this 368 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: election looms, what are you seeing on the ground and 369 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: what are your opponents saying? Are they getting nastier with 370 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: you as they recognize, oh, she may really win? Yeah? 371 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: Tenas Kotech has a consistent record of lying just as 372 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: just as a legislator, and now that we are in 373 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: a campaign cycle, she's had no qualms about just making 374 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: stuff up. And so that's where they're at in this 375 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: race right now. They are absolutely desperate and the you know, 376 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: the the organ political class is just absolutely losing their minds. 377 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 1: The DC political classes in panic mode. I mean, we're 378 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: we're talking about just a Democrat party that has no 379 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: idea what's happening right now. I mean, Tina Cootech is 380 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: so entitled to this governor's office. You know, she just 381 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: wants to step into step into the seat. And that's 382 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: just not what's happening. They are happening. They're having to 383 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: fight hard in this race, and we're up in this 384 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: race and absolutely committed to winning this race. And they've 385 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: just never seen it before. It's been years and years 386 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: and years last time a Republican was in the Governor's office. 387 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: Isn't you know? We have this right? Top Gun was 388 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: in Top Gun was in the theaters, and now it's back. 389 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: It's my favorite. I think it's definitely it's definitely our 390 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: moment here in Oregon. But more than anything else, the 391 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: Democrats are not They can't believe their eyes. They can't 392 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 1: believe that their own party would leave them, that they 393 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: couldn't just do anything they wanted to the state of 394 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: our state, and they wouldn't just accept it. Instead, Oregonians 395 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: are standing up and they're saying this is a mess, 396 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: and y'all are fired. Christine. One of the things we 397 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: talked about on this show is the difference between insane insane. 398 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: We don't talk all the time about Democrat Republican because 399 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: there are a lot of things the Democrats are doing 400 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: that are flat out insane. You're a mom of three 401 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: Republican women. It seems like you have finally gotten fed 402 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: up and said, hey, we have to speak out, we 403 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: have to do something. I'm curious, not just an Oregan, 404 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: but nationwide. Are you seeing a lot of moms with 405 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: this COVID impact and everything else who finally have just 406 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: had enough and are recognizing that it's time for a change. 407 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: And you think Oregon is part of a bigger story 408 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 1: here about Republican moms standing up. Yeah, I actually think 409 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 1: to your point that this isn't partisan either. I think 410 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: that moms across the political spectrum are standing up and 411 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: saying advocating for their kids and COVID in particular, hurt 412 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: our students and an Oregon you know, they were they 413 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: were left behind, they were thrown under the bus, and 414 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: it was really all politics and had nothing to do 415 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: about them, and they were collateral damage. And that's not 416 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 1: good enough. And so I hear all the time when 417 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: I do events, parents coming up to me saying, we 418 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: are not political, we have never done this before, but 419 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: promise me that you will not shut our schools down. 420 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: And that is in the moment where you realize people 421 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: are paying attention like they haven't before, and that they 422 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: are demanding change because it affects their family, It affects 423 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: their kids, that affects their future, and they deserve to 424 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: have elected leaders that put them first, that respect their family, 425 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: that want the best for their kids, and aren't going 426 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: to put some political agenda in front of what's right 427 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: and best for Orgonians. Christine for our audience, including our 428 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: affiliate in Portland on k e x AM, where should 429 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: they go if they want to help out, donate or 430 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: get involved?

That this is going to take 433 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: Oregonians stepping in and doing stuff they haven't done before, 434 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: making the calls and knocking on the doors, talking to 435 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: friends and family, giving if they're able. All of it 436 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: makes a huge difference and is going to help us 437 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: deliver the win on November the eighth.

The 465 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: Democrat response another January sixth hearing that is taking place 466 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: as we speak. We talked with Christine Dreysen. I believe 467 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: she's going to be the next governor of Oregon, the 468 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: first person who is a Republican to be elected in 469 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: that state since the nineteen eighties. To the Governor's office. 470 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: Encourage you to go listen to her. She was fantastic. Okay, 471 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: a couple of data points that are out there. Republicans 472 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: are now favored to win back the Senate. We know 473 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: Republicans are a big favorite in the House, and to me, 474 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: this explains why there is such panic among Democrats out 475 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: there and why they are going after herschel Walker to 476 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: such an extent, because remember what everybody was telling you, 477 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: Doctor Oz was done. Pennsylvania was a win for John Fetterman. 478 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: Twenty six days out from the Senate election, Pennsylvania is 479 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,080 Speaker 1: now an absolute dead heat. It's gonna come down to 480 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: a few thousand votes potentially one way or the other. 481 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: I also think there is a possibility that Doctor Oz 482 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: over the next twenty six days is going to act 483 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: actually run away with this race because all of the 484 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: health related concerns that exist out there for John Fetterman 485 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: are coming to the forefront. There was an NBC interview 486 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: that we played you some cuts from yesterday that was 487 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: such a disaster for doctor for Fetterman, so positive for 488 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: doctor Oz that Democrats are now arguing that it's unfair 489 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: to consider health related issues for John Fetterman, who's recovering 490 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: from a stroke, who cannot speak, who doesn't have the 491 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: physical ability to actually do the job. And this has 492 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: become a real, a real issue because if Democrats can't 493 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: win in Pennsylvania, there's no state out there where they 494 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: have a chance to flip a seat. North Carolina's not 495 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: going to happen. Ohio's not going to happen. We had 496 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: jd Vance on yesterday day. He's pulled away. They have 497 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: to win in Pennsylvania to have any hope of retaining 498 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: their Senate majority. Well, this is kind of crazy. I 499 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: want to play a couple of cuts from you to 500 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: give you an illustration of how desperate they now are 501 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: to defend John Fetterman's collapsing candidacy. And let's start with 502 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: this one. Trevor Noah, who has never been successful on 503 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: the Daily Show and has now announced that he is 504 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: going to be leaving that show, compared John Fetterman to 505 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: politicians who are disabled or veterans. Listen. I'm not vouching 506 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: for Fetterman over doctor Os or anything like that, but 507 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: I do think this whole debates is veering into the 508 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: territory of saying that people with disabilities cannot be lawmakers, 509 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: which is trash, all right, especially since America already has 510 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: disabled lawmakers serving right now. It shouldn't give a spotify. 511 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw is miss an eye, Tammy Duckworth lost both 512 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: her legs, right, and Mitch McConnell he's literally melting all 513 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: the time. Okay, I mean, first, obviously he's not funny. 514 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: But Clay, I mean, his analysis is trash, and everyone 515 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: knows everyone's sitting you're saying this. You know, sometimes you 516 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: do wonder you think is so? Is he honestly just 517 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: so not smart that he doesn't understand the difference between 518 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: of course, if someone First of all, there's the the 519 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: the honor that we as a society bestow on anybody 520 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: who has war wounds. Rightly so, but just put aside 521 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: that component of this comparing that, you know, having a 522 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: stroke is a very sad thing that happens to people. 523 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: It's not getting hit by shrapnel in a rock or 524 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: Afghanistan or being hit by enemy rounds. Okay, we understand 525 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: that difference. But also, of course you can be a 526 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: lawmaker if you are in if you're in a wheelchair 527 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: because you're paralyzed, or because you're missing a leg, or 528 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: because you know, missing an eye doesn't mean your brain 529 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: doesn't work. Do we really have to go we have 530 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: to go through I think we have disability is different 531 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: from you know, I can't run one hundred meter dash anymore, 532 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: and we all understand that, right, But what is he 533 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: saying here? Well, I think it's a sign of the desperation. 534 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: And you're right, losing an eye doesn't mean that you 535 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: can't be an incredible congress person. But there is a 536 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: necessity that you have the physical and mental capabilities to 537 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: represent your state and the Senate. And I've said for 538 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: a long time, as you have you buck John Fetterman's 539 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: political opinions should disqualify him from winning in Pennsylvania. But 540 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: the combination of his Bernie Sanders clone left wing political 541 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: opinions with the fact which is true that he is 542 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: not able to communicate, is a disqualifying function to me 543 00:31:55,760 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: for Pennsylvania voters. And look, if you are abled. If 544 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: you were picking a four hundred meter relay team, if 545 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: somebody had a broken leg, you wouldn't put them on 546 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: the relay team because they can't run. That's not being ablest. 547 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: It's saying, in order to do the job of being 548 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: a sprinter, your leg probably cannot be broken and allow 549 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: you to run at the fastest possible speed. Well, John 550 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 1: Fetterman is not healthy enough to be a senator. It 551 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: should be disqualifying. Buck. If he had been honest with 552 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: the people of Pennsylvania about the stroke that he had 553 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: a few days before the Democrat primary, I think there 554 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: is a very good chance that he would not have 555 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: been the nominee. If he had been honest in May 556 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: and June after having that stroke and said I am 557 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: not healthy enough to do this job, then they would 558 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: have selected another Democrat, put them in this race, and 559 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: they would have been able to run against doctor Oz. 560 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: Democrats didn't do that. And as a result, they're now 561 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: aware that they are in trouble in this race, and 562 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: so they have basically put up the bat signal and 563 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: they are bringing out everything they can to try and 564 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: defend John Fetterman, I want to play this from CNN yesterday. 565 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 1: They even brought in Sanjay Gupta. Okay, their doctor there, 566 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: their requisite COVID is going to kill everyone, doctor who 567 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 1: said everything needs to be shut down and got embarrassed. Frankly, 568 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: has he apologized for being wrong about everything on COVID? 569 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,719 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think he Remember when 570 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: he went on Joe Rogan and Joe Rogan just to 571 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 1: absolutely filate him over many of the things that he 572 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: was saying about COVID. Um, So, doctor Sanjay Gupta is 573 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: now being brought in now, remember this is important. CNN 574 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 1: spent years telling all of us that Donald Trump was 575 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: not mentally capable of being president and that they needed 576 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment. To her said he 577 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: was crazy off, like literally crazy as an out of 578 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: his mind, you know, would be would be would be 579 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: able to run an insanity defense in court kind of crazy. 580 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 1: That that was the basis of it. They spent years 581 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: on that. So the idea now that they would suddenly say, oh, 582 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: questioning somebody's ability to hold office is beneath you or 583 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: beneath our political discourse, is laughably absurd. But I just 584 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: want you to recognize out there, because I'm sure many 585 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: of you did not see this, this is how desperate 586 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: they are in this Fetterman campaign to try to make 587 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: him the victim. Listen to John King and Sanjay Gupta 588 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: on CNN defending Fetterman. You're a brain surgeon. You understand 589 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: this space better than just about anybody out there watching. 590 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: Explain what you saw when you watch that interview, the 591 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: questions or the answers it gave you. When we think 592 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: about strokes, a lot of times people commingle what is 593 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: a functional deficit auditory hearing processing problem with cognition. He 594 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: does not appear to have a problem with cognition. You know, 595 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: he's responding quickly. He supposedly took a couple of tests 596 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: where he performed well on those tests. We haven't seen 597 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: the results of that. We haven't seen any of these 598 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,880 Speaker 1: medical records, but overall you could hear his fluency of 599 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 1: speech and things like that. So not to commingle cognition 600 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 1: with functional deficit that people do recover from in the 601 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: form of this stroke. Okay, so he's basically trying to 602 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: say it's purely a motor skills issue, not a firing 603 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: of the synapses inside the brain that allows for understanding 604 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: decision making, the different parts of the cortex that allow 605 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: that kind of of processing to take place. But notice 606 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: how he also goes but I mean, they will release 607 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: the medical records. So there's that they are bringing out 608 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,919 Speaker 1: every possible step they can to try to win this race, 609 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: and Fetterman is now trying to argue that he is 610 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,800 Speaker 1: the victim. He sent out a tweet yesterday talking about 611 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:59,719 Speaker 1: the fact that doctor Oz was making an issue for 612 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 1: or his health. And I mean, again, this is where 613 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: they are trying to steal this seat for a guy 614 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: who is not able to do the job. And doctor Oz, 615 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: we had him on was it this week? Buck? I 616 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,879 Speaker 1: think we had doctor os on. Here's doctor Ozz saying 617 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: what I think is true, the voters do deserve better. 618 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: Here we are less than a month before the election, 619 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: and I've been asking John Federman to answer questions on 620 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: the campaign trail. Initially, he wasn't even on the campaign 621 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: trail for the first couple of months, but answer questions 622 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: from voters, answer questions from reporters while you're actually campaigning. 623 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: That's what we normally do in a democracy. And the concern, 624 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 1: of course, is that if you don't ever leave your 625 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: home and answer questions, we don't know the answers to 626 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: the questions you're asking. But I don't think there's close 627 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: captioning on the floor of the Senate. And maybe he 628 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: doesn't need close captioning when he's actually moving around, but 629 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: maybe he does. Again, a lot of question marks, and 630 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: the voters deserve better. I mean, he's right. Do you 631 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 1: remember when the media tried to make Trump's wait part 632 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: of the issue as well. They're like, oh, he's o piece, 633 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: he can't actually he can't do the job because of 634 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: all the health. That didn't last very long, but there 635 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: was a period there where Trump's wait became a fixation 636 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: of the media as well too. They're like, oh, look 637 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: at this his BMI. They would talk I would look, 638 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 1: I remember, because of CNN, they would talk about this stuff. 639 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: The thing is, everybody, I know, it's dizzying, but you 640 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: just have to you have to start from this basic 641 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: premise the Libs have no principles. When you understand, they 642 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: have no principles, they just want to win. They want 643 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: their emotional validation. They want their choices to be what 644 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: are made by the apparatus of government. That's it. Their 645 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 1: preferences enshrine through the force of government. That's all. That 646 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,520 Speaker 1: is the only principle. And then all of a sudden, 647 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, well, of course this makes sense. Trump 648 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: needs the twenty fifth Amendment. But John Fetterman's just fine. 649 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: He's almost like a war hero. Well, when you realize 650 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: they have no principles, it all holds together. Well, this 651 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: is what Fetterman tweeted this morning, tying into this buck 652 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 1: in the Senate. I'll fight for the millions of Americans who, 653 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 1: like me, aren't perfectly healthy. All doctor Oz has ever 654 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: done is exploit them. First of all, I don't even 655 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: understand what that means, because how has doctor Oz exploited anyone? 656 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: I mean, he's been a doctor his whole life. He's 657 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: treated people. But we notice where the pivot here has 658 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: happened for a long time. Doctor Sorry, John Fetterman's people said, 659 00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: Fetterman's fine, He's completely healthy.

So this is not 705 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 1: a surprise, but the Saudis are not particularly fans of 706 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,920 Speaker 1: the Biden administration because remember the Biden administration came in 707 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,120 Speaker 1: and they said the adults are back in charge, We're 708 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: gonna have exceptional relationships with people around the world. Well 709 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: that's really not true. But yesterday evening a story broke, 710 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: the Saudis put out an official statement. Now I understand 711 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 1: that the Saudis are not necessarily the most trustworthy. Frankly, 712 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,880 Speaker 1: I don't think you can trust any country's official statements. 713 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: Let's be honest, Some even less than others, right like 714 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,359 Speaker 1: Iran and North Korea are at the very tail end 715 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: of whether you believe them or not. And then there 716 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: are other countries that tend to be more forthright and honest. 717 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 1: I was in the CIA, and I can tell you 718 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: all countries lie. Ye lie a lot. Yeah, they lie 719 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: a lot to their own people. They lie a lot 720 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: within the government apparatus to each other. They lie a lot. 721 00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: But the response to this accusation has been telling. The 722 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: Saudi government came out and said that the Biden administration 723 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: begged them not to decrease oil production by two million 724 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: barrels a day until after our mid terms. I have 725 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: the I have the letter from the king, the actual 726 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,880 Speaker 1: actual letter in front of you. Yes, I mean I 727 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: wish I had the original and like autographed by some 728 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: of the sheiks. But here's what they say. The Government 729 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,880 Speaker 1: of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would also like to 730 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: affirm that any uh, sorry clarify that basements belief the 731 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: importance of dialogue, etc. Etc. In its continuous consultation with 732 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: US administration. All economic analyses indicate that postponing the OPEC 733 00:42:56,160 --> 00:43:00,919 Speaker 1: decision for a month, according to what has been and suggested, 734 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:07,879 Speaker 1: would have had negative economic consequences. Essentially laying it out here. Hey, 735 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,720 Speaker 1: we know you guys in America under the Biden regime, 736 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: we're like, can you just keep the oil flowing so 737 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: that we can fool people into thinking the economy is 738 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: better than it is for a month, But we're actually 739 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 1: looking at the macro picture here in the Kingdom and 740 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: we don't care. Also, Clay, I think a backhand, a 741 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: backhand to Biden. And this is significant because we impeach 742 00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump for less right, I mean publicly asking for 743 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 1: the oil to continue to be shipped so you can 744 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,440 Speaker 1: parade around talking about how successful your energy policies have 745 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,320 Speaker 1: been at by the way, dragging down the price of 746 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:54,719 Speaker 1: oil from five dollars to still near all time highs today, 747 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 1: because that's what Joe Biden is trying to brag about. Now. 748 00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,080 Speaker 1: He's blamed Putin and the Saudis and everybody else for 749 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: the cost of your gallon of gas. As soon as 750 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: the price started coming back down, he said, Oh, the 751 00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,399 Speaker 1: reason why this is happening is because of us, right, 752 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 1: So everything bad is somebody else's fault. Everything good is 753 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:20,320 Speaker 1: our credit. These lunatics democrats impeach Donald Trump for a 754 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 1: phone call in which he raised the prospect of the 755 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: follow through of investigation about corruption and lawbreaking by Hunter Biden, 756 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 1: which was all real. Yes, they pretend, they say, Oh, 757 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: influence pedaling is not illegal, money laundering is tax evasion, 758 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: is millions of dollars going to a family that is 759 00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: buying influence in the Democrat regime that they do not 760 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,560 Speaker 1: declare that they are money that is all illegal. So 761 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: Trump was actually talking about illegal activity that was going on, 762 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,600 Speaker 1: or rather was at least alluding to illegal activity. They, 763 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,840 Speaker 1: as we know, impeached him for that. They actually did it. 764 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: And Trump asked these questions about countries that are directly 765 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:13,960 Speaker 1: involved in the most important places of American interest in 766 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,799 Speaker 1: the world, China and Ukraine Russia, as we were talking 767 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 1: about yesterday. It's not as if Hunter Biden was getting 768 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: paid by Costa Rica and Malta, right like, I mean, 769 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: we're talking about places that have direct and strategic geopolitical 770 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: interest at the absolute apex for the United States, the 771 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 1: two countries that would probably want more than any other 772 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 1: country because it's effectively with the Ukraine. It is the 773 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 1: battlefield politically and now militarily, but the battlefield of Russia Ukraine. 774 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 1: That's the whole. Yes, that's what. So you're basically talking 775 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 1: about Ukraine, Russia and Chinese influence buying scheme to the 776 00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: then vice president's son and now actual president's son. I mean, Clay, 777 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,840 Speaker 1: at what point, at what point does everyone just recognize 778 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: I think I think we're already long past it. These 779 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,799 Speaker 1: people just have no principles. They'll make any argument, doesn't 780 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,760 Speaker 1: matter if it contradicts the argument they made yesterday. Whatever 781 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: works in the moment, whatever makes them feel emotionally validated 782 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:20,280 Speaker 1: in the belief that putting this cognitively, you know, incapable 783 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:24,360 Speaker 1: buffoon in charge of the country has not had really 784 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:28,800 Speaker 1: negative consequences. There is not a single thing. If somebody 785 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,480 Speaker 1: said to me, hey, I'm gonna just as an exercise, 786 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay you, you know, a bunch of money 787 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,879 Speaker 1: to go out there and make the case about where 788 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 1: the Biden administration has really excelled, I would actually not 789 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 1: be able. I mean, even if I was doing Devil's advocacy, 790 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,399 Speaker 1: I would say the Biden administration has only excelled where 791 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: it has failed to get what it wanted. That the 792 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 1: best thing you can say is where they've been blocked. 793 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 1: Thank God for that, I think buck they were going 794 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: to try to argue that they had solved COVID, and 795 00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 1: the Joe Biden trial balloon of saying COVID is over 796 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: was so roundly rejected by his own base that they 797 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 1: had to walk that back because his base is not 798 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 1: willing to accept that COVID is no longer a threat 799 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: in this country. And I do think that there's a 800 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 1: a silent wave of rage out there about what was 801 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: done to us by particularly those of us who live 802 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,360 Speaker 1: in blue states like you in Tennessee. You got a 803 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 1: little bit of it when you flew and everything else. 804 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,239 Speaker 1: But what the Biden regime did, it was a year 805 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,879 Speaker 1: ago that they were firing people, starting to fire people, 806 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: I should say, they're still doing it here in New 807 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 1: York a couple of weeks ago, firing people from their jobs, 808 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,319 Speaker 1: telling them they're a public health menace Clay. There were 809 00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,440 Speaker 1: people who were openly and they were all Biden voters, 810 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 1: Biden supporters, and even some Biden officials who were openly 811 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: advocating for the denial of healthcare to people who refused 812 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: to get the shot because they were such a risk 813 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: to other people. This was monstrous, I think. I know 814 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 1: it's not showing up in the polls, and maybe this 815 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 1: is wish casting on my part, I'll admit that. But 816 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:09,719 Speaker 1: every time we talk about this play, you know this, 817 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 1: our lines are lit up for the next hour on 818 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: people who are furious, and there are a lot of 819 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: them are in New York and California, and New Jersey. 820 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 1: They're furious about what happened. Well, this is why I 821 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,279 Speaker 1: think we may see it in Christine Drayson, who we're 822 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,080 Speaker 1: gonna have on Next Hour if she gets elected as 823 00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: the governor.
