1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. All right, second hour of Clay and

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Buck kicks off.

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: Now.

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: I wish we had the theme music for Mission Impossible

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: for a second here, because it would go well with

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: this scoop from Axios. Biden's teams don't let him trip mission.

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Don't let him trip mission, Clay watch. Well, let's just let's.

9
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: Not underrate how crazy this is. I mean, this is

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: this is the lead story for Axios this morning. Buck,

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: I woke up, went into my email, I read the Axios.

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: I got a bunch of email newsletters with the news

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: and I saw this and I thought it was like

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: April Fool's Day that this would be out as a

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: legitimate story.

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: So it's a real thing. His team is trying to

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: prevent him from falling down. You all remember remember that

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: video of Hillary Clinton. They said that she had a

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: fever or something and the secret services around her and

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: she just flopped into the back of a van and

21
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: it was on video and at first they were like,

22
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: she didn't flop, it was a balletic uh, you know,

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 1: dismount into the rear of the vehicle. And then like Okay, yeah,

24
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: she flopped and then they said, oh, she had a

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: fever or something, and that became a moment in the

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: news cycle. I do not believe Joe Biden is going

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: to have a I don't I you know, man, I

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: don't like talking about this sometimes. I don't think he's

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna have a dementia moment on stage. If there are debates,

30
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't I think that they'll be able to no

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: more so than he already has, right, I mean, nothing

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: beyond what we've already seen. Anything could happen. But what

33
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: they are worried about is if Joe Biden has some

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: big stumble at the wrong moment, it just reminds everybody

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: of what's what's going on meanwhile. So so the mission

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: mission impossible, as I call it, is to prevent Biden

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: from stumbling as he walks around. And then you have

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 1: Biden set to join the picket line at the United

39
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: Auto Workers strike and they're saying this is the first

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: time a sitting president has ever gone to and in

41
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: effect joined I guess a picket line. This is all

42
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: about the unions, all about Michigan, particularly for twenty twenty four.

43
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: We can see that, and I think Joe Biden has

44
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: always done very well with unions and the Democrats still

45
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: maintained a pretty strong grip on them. Clay, I just

46
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: wanted to go through some interesting moments in Bidenomics right

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: now for everybody. Yeah, and then you know, you can

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: tell me where you think this is all heading or

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: how bad this is going to get. This is These

50
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: are just all stats and statistics that I pulled this

51
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: morning when I was looking up what's going on here?

52
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: The monthly average payment for a mortgage has gone from

53
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars, I'm sorry, has gone from yeah, basically

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars to two thousand dollars, an increase of

55
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: a thousand bucks and your mortgage payment so you can

56
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: afford quite truly about half the house you used to

57
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: be able to afford if you are getting a mortgage

58
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: at this point in time. Yes, sir, No, I think

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: it's also important.

60
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: So the mortgage rates have the cost of a mortgage

61
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: has gone up that much. Also important to reemphasize there

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: are tens of millions of people who would like to

63
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: move but have a two and a half or three

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: percent mortgage rate. Yeah, they're not going, So they're not

65
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: moving either, so they don't have a house that fits

66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: necessarily their needs. But you feel so fortunate to have

67
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: that rate locked in that you're not going to trade

68
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: up or trade down like you might be doing based

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: on the cycles of your life.

70
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: So car rate loans or car loan rates rather, have

71
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: also shot up dramatically, so it's a lot more expensive.

72
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: The number of monthly car payments at one thousand dollars

73
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: a month right now are at an all time high.

74
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are making thousand dollars a

75
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: month car payments, and you know they're not driving around

76
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: that may Bocher or a Mercedes necessarily, right, So that

77
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: would be a lot more than a thousand. But demand

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: for these are all things. Demand for commercial real estate

79
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: loans is way down toward two thousand and eight levels.

80
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: You have seventeen trillion dollars of household debt right now.

81
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: I had to check that stat twice. I said that

82
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: seems crazy. Seventeen trillion dollars of household debt. Thirty six

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: percent of Americans have more credit card debt now than

84
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: they have in total savings thirty six percent. And the

85
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: average credit card loan right or credit card rate APR

86
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: is something in the seventeen to twenty percent range. So

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: you start to look at this and you start to

88
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: say to yourself, hold on a second, Oh, and I'm

89
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: not the I didn't even pull I should have pulled.

90
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: And groceries, which are the most common day to day

91
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: household expenses, which are far above what they were before

92
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: Biden took office. Everybody, except for people who are so

93
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: rich they don't really care, is poorer under Biden. That's

94
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: actually what this is. Forget about the unemployment rate, forget

95
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: about whatever the stock market's doing. Seven stocks. It's like,

96
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, App, Apple, Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft, Tesla, What am

97
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: I missing?

98
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: Well?

99
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: Google, maybe alf Alphabet. Did I already say that one

100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: those stocks, Clay, If you took them out of the

101
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: stock market, the stock market would be down this year. Yeah,

102
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: it'd be a down year in the stock market and

103
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: only seven stocks, all tech stocks that are holding the

104
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: whole thing up. The shoe is about to drop, folks.

105
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. The music is

106
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: going to stop. Everyone's saying, oh, maybe we won't hit

107
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: a soft landing. We have some major economic dysfunction going

108
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: on right now.

109
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 2: And this is summed up buck NBC News poll, Republicans

110
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: have a twenty one point advantage on which party better

111
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 2: handles the economy, forty nine percent to twenty eight percent.

112
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: And this is according to Josh Krashauer, who I'm reading

113
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: from here. That's the largest lead Republicans have held in

114
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: this poll dating.

115
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: Back to nineteen ninety one.

116
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: Interesting, what also happened in nineteen ninety one third party

117
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: Ross perrout everybody was upset about the way the economy felt,

118
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: Ross Perot swept in. For those of you who remember

119
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety two election, and one, what did Piero

120
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: win Buck nineteen percent of the overall vote in nineteen

121
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: ninety two.

122
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy high number compared to what people thought was possible.

123
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: And so.

124
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: Is Again, history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. That's interesting,

125
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 2: just in the context of biggest lead Republicans have held

126
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety one. Now, also nineteen ninety two, Clinton won,

127
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: But this was the Bush Senior had some of the

128
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: highest approval ratings in nineteen ninety one in the history

129
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: of a president Clinton.

130
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Clinton won with less than less than half the vote correct.

131
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: So let's all remember Clinton was not even a majority

132
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: president right, I mean Clinton either is tom accident he

133
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: never won a majority in ninety two or ninety six

134
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: because Perot ran again in ninety six he was less

135
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: powerful then. See, this is why you know, when everyone's

136
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: sitting here and you know, and I'll get to some

137
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: of the I've seen some of the vip emails. You

138
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: get nervous, Buck, do you think Biden's gonna make it?

139
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: Oh?

140
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I think Biden's still gonna make it. I'm I am

141
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: quadrupling down. I am so deep in my Biden's gonna

142
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: be the nominee bunker that I can't even get any

143
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: natural sunlight anymore. But Clay, there are so many variables

144
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: here that I think you have to assume at some

145
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: at some level, the you know, inertia will win out

146
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: on some of these political realities, like you'd have to

147
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: get so much going to push Biden aside that to me,

148
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: inertia meaning just let it go as it is, is

149
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: the likelier scenario because there's also all these other variables

150
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: and factors that you count account for. And if you

151
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: start to create chaos in the system, if you start

152
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: to make distinctions and determinations about where there's where things

153
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: are going in the future based upon incomplete information now

154
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: you know, and give up advantages in the process to

155
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: do that. I just think that that's that's bad. That's

156
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: bad strategy. We know we have the possibility of a

157
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: third party candidate. We also have the possibility. I don't

158
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: know what happens if Trump loses one of these trials.

159
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I really don't know what happens to the

160
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: sentiment in the country. I don't know what And I

161
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: don't even mean that. I'm like, what are the polls show.

162
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know how we get along. Well,

163
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: I've got a crazy theory on that. Buck. I don't

164
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: think it's gonna matter that much. That's possible. I don't

165
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: think I agree.

166
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I've been thinking a lot about that. I mean,

167
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: because there is I think so far correct. Me see

168
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: if you agree with this theory. I think that Democrats

169
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: never expected that they would be in this situation in

170
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: late September. No, I think they thought that Trump would

171
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: be maybe he's still leading in the Republican primary, but

172
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: I think they thought that he would be taking on

173
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: water uh, you know, with New York City, with d C,

174
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: with South Florida, and with Atlanta, I think they thought

175
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 2: that he would be weaker instead of getting stronger.

176
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: So I think that we've been very consistent here, stretching

177
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: back for a long time. Certainly really, I think for

178
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: this whole year, or since the indictment started to come down,

179
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: that we were saying the Democrats believe that Trump is

180
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: their best opponent, and they think that the indictments will

181
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 1: help him in the primary or else they won't do it. Comma,

182
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they're right in the general. Yeah, we've

183
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: been saying this all along, and what you're seeing right now,

184
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: based on the polling, is that reality I think is

185
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: starting to set in where yeah, it means Trump is

186
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: going to be the nominee. Yet it hasn't hurt him

187
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: in the primary at all. In fact, the indictments have

188
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: only helped him, but it may have helped them beyond

189
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: what they thought was possible. It may have pushed him

190
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: to a place where he becomes a candidate. Clay You added,

191
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I know people that are talking about the

192
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: possibility of like bank runs. When you start to look

193
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: at what's going on, you know, Silicon Valley Bank, they

194
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: all want to tell you, oh, it's all fixed, it's fine.

195
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they got on the wrong They got on

196
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: the wrong side of interest rates. And and you know,

197
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: basically treasuries, and you look at the way rates are

198
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,239
Speaker 1: going right now, you look at the both the persistently

199
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: high inflation and what's going on with the interest rate

200
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: hikes faster than has it. I think it's the fastest

201
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: it's been in history, right, the fastest interest rate certainly

202
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: modern history that anybody knows of it. And and there

203
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: are maybe some very large financial institutions, I mean the

204
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: largest financial institutions that are effectively sitting on a lot

205
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: of very bad decisions that they hope, you know, meeting.

206
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: They don't have that they wouldn't have the capitol on

207
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: hand if people realized that they wanted to take their

208
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: money out. Now, that's always a problem with banks, but

209
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: when you when you get on the wrong side of

210
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: interest rates like you did with that's a Silicon Valley

211
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: bank SBB that seems to become more of a possibility.

212
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: So think about this. I mean, this is my long

213
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: way of saying, if the economy starts to tank and

214
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: Biden is where he is, then they're clearly going to

215
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: break the glass. Then then you I think, you know,

216
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: broker convention or whatever they got to do they're gonna do,

217
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: they'll come up with something. Yeah, And I think the

218
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: story to kind of sum that up. And by the way,

219
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: on your point on Silicon Valley Bank, I think I

220
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: talked about this. I was in.

221
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: Italy on my family vacation when those banks and I

222
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: got on the phone from Italy because I was worried

223
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: about my local bank that I do all of my

224
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: my business with. I mean, it's stock price was tanking

225
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: because there was a legitimate run on banks, and I'm

226
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: sitting around thinking how much you know, what accounts do

227
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: I have? Like, I think a lot of people were

228
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: in that perspective. But I think the big story here

229
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: so far of the Republican primary. We thought starting in

230
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: January the question was going to be who gives Republicans

231
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: the best chance to beat Biden. I think the story

232
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 2: as we sit here in late September is Biden's so

233
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: weak every Republican is going to beat Biden. Again, I'm

234
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: not saying that's going to happen. I think the electability

235
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: is less of a focus because Biden is so weak.

236
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: To your point, if the economy truly hits a recession

237
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: in the next year. There isn't this fear that Biden

238
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 2: looks inevitable in the Republican e A lite it. I

239
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: think that was a big part of the DeSantis push,

240
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 2: of the Nikki Hayley push, Like, oh, Trump has alienated

241
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: a lot of people. I think Biden's so bad that

242
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: a lot of people are just saying he's not gonna

243
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: wins here.

244
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: I mean, one is, most of the polls show Biden

245
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: and Trump basically tied. So that ten point poll is

246
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: an out there right so and a five point Messenger poll.

247
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, but in general, you're looking at its

248
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty country, fifty to fifty, and we're a

249
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: year ahead of the elections. That keeps saying, and you

250
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: haven't run. They're just gonna run Jay six stuff all day,

251
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: all the time. And people can say, oh, that's all

252
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: old or whatever. It's a visual, it's a you know,

253
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: TV markets are what moves the needle with elections in

254
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: different states. I mean, it's that they're going to just

255
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: flood the airwaves with threat to democracy and J six stuff.

256
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: What will that actually mean? We'll have to see. But

257
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: I think Clay that we are in a situation where

258
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: you could see something major happy to the economy because

259
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: they've done everything they can do. This is we're at

260
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: the point now where the Bazuoka has already been fired, right,

261
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: They've they've done that, brought up rates faster than they

262
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: ever have, They spent more money than they ever should have,

263
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: and it was a complete you know, free for all. Right,

264
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: basically what eight trillion in COVID spending all in when

265
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: you add the two brillion to buy.

266
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: It more than we spent, which I think is important

267
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: adjusted for inflation to beat the Nazis and win World

268
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: War two.

269
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: So it's as though I want to ever take a

270
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: step back. You know, I'm not an economist. Probably a

271
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: few economists are listening to this, but I you know,

272
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm just somebody who reads a lot of stuff. But

273
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: we all understand this at a gut level and just

274
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: based on based on common sense. It's like we ran

275
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: an experiment to run up inflation as fast as we

276
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: possibly could, and then we've run up an experiment to

277
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: bring down inflation by bringing up rates as fast as

278
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: we possibly can. And we're told that the same people

279
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: more or less who did both of those things, and

280
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: some of whom were pretty much around and asleep at

281
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: the wheel back in the tooth and eight meltdown. Have

282
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: gotten this perfectly right, and it's all going to be fine,

283
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: and there's no real You can spend eight trillion dollars

284
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: and then you can raise rates as fast as you want,

285
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: avoider recession, avoid mass layoffs, avoid all these things. If

286
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: they pull this off, you would think it must be

287
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: some kind of active economic engineering genius. Does every want

288
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: to bet that they're gonna be able to pull this off?

289
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just putting it out there. I'm just

290

Speaker 2: In Play Travis buck Sexton show rolling through the Tuesday

313
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: edition of the program with all of you.

314
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: Buck, I put up a poll, and this is something.

315
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: And again, I'm not claiming certainly that my audience on

316
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 2: Twitter is reflective of anything other than a small subset

317
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: of the United States.

318
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: But you and I were discussing this. If Robert F.

319
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior runs, the expectation is, right now, conventional wisdom

320
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: that he would hurt Biden the most.

321
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: What if that's not right? Yeah, I don't I don't see.

322
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't know who's conventional wisdom that is, I don't

323
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: buy that. I don't buy that for one second you

324
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: think he would hurt Trump more than absolutely Biden. I

325
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: think that. I think that more people who are right

326
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: leaning in their thinking, like RFK Junior than anybody who's

327
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: a real Democrat who's voted for Biden. Uh and you

328
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: a vote for Biden and going to continue to be

329
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: a Democrat going forward. I don't look. I think this

330
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: was at some level a desire on the right for

331
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: something just sort of you know, new and interesting, which

332
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: often happens in these different campaigns. But I think if

333
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: you have an RFK Junior ticket, you can say hello

334
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: to four more years at Joe Biden. If he's if

335
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: he's third party, it's going to cost people on the right,

336
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: because you know what, Clay, at the end of the day, Democrats,

337
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: they just want to win people on the right. They're like,

338
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: I have a principle that voting the right in candidate

339
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: will support No, you're just helping Joe Biden win. That's

340
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: what ends up happening. I'm just I'm just tell the

365
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: this story because I think you're got to lay it out.

366
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: This This crosses over into the realm of major Iranian

367
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: foreign policy. The Obama administration holdovers to the Biden administration

368
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: nuclear policy? What went on here? Like, tell everybody about this,

369
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: this situation, because it's gonna be the first time they've

370
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: heard it.

371
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's pretty breaking news this morning. I will say,

372
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 4: you know, I live in Nashville, where Clay lives, and

373
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 4: I was getting ready to drive to Memphis. Got up

374
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 4: at I'm speaking at the Lincoln Day dinner tonight for

375
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 4: anybody who's listening for Memphis up to see you there.

376
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 4: But I was wiping the sleep out of my eyes,

377
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: and I thought, am I actually read what I think

378
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: I'm reading here? And it's I think it should be

379
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 4: the foreign policy scandal of a generation. If everything that

380
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 4: Semaphor is reporting is true. So to take a really

381
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: complicated picture and try to distill it down quickly so

382
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 4: all the listeners can understand essentially what happened in Semaphore,

383
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 4: by the way, is a pretty mainstream media organization started

384
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 4: by some New York Times journalists. Semaphore reported that they

385
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 4: got a hold of a lot of emails internal correspondents

386
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 4: from the Iranian regime, but also correspondence that the Iranians

387
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 4: were having with Americans, and essentially what the correspondent said

388
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 4: is the Iranian regime and around twenty fourteen, they were

389
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 4: heavily under US sanctions at that point from both the

390
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 4: Bush administration and the Obama administration, and they wanted to

391
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 4: improve their image in the United States, and they wanted

392
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 4: to get favorable terms for a nuclear deal that have

393
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 4: been begun being negotiated in secret. Right, So these are

394
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 4: things like how many centrifuge is should Iron be allowed

395
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 4: to have. So it wasn't just trying to like blanket

396
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 4: improve the reputation in the United States. It was trying

397
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 4: to trying to get favorable terms for that nuclear deal negotiation.

398
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 4: Now that deal was the JCPOA that President Obama signed.

399
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: Remember this was a political deal. It was not ratified

400
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 4: by the Senate, and that's why. And the Trump administration

401
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 4: in which I served, we were able to tear up

402
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 4: that nuclear deal because we didn't think it was a

403
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 4: good deal. And I could go into another hour on

404
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 4: your show explaining why that wasn't a good deal. You

405
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 4: know this stuff really well, Buck. So what was really

406
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 4: mind blowing about these internal communications about this foreign influence

407
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 4: plan that they had in the United States is they

408
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 4: had a list of officials of people of influential, mostly

409
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 4: Iranian Americans, that they wanted to recruit to be a

410
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 4: part of this. Well, the big problem is it appears

411
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 4: on that list again, if the Semaphore reporting is true,

412
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 4: that it was Obama officials and current ident officials who

413
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: were not only a part of the list of people

414
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 4: that were, you know, a part of this influence campaign,

415
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 4: but to actually saw emails from these people. Now they

416
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 4: were at think tanks at the time that they call

417
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 4: that they saw some of these emails, but it was emails.

418
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: You know.

419
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 4: One guy essentially said to the to the foreign minister,

420
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 4: I'm a proud Iranian American. I'm going to do anything

421
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 4: that I can to help Iran, almost pledging allegiance to Iran.

422
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: And so when you when you start to look at

423
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 4: the correspondence. It's pretty damning from the perspective of Buck.

424
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 4: I thought, how in the world did these people have

425
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 4: security clearances? You know, how are you currently working in government?

426
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: If you were emailing the Iranians Foreign Minister's age talking

427
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 4: about how you would publish publicly support their side during

428
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 4: the nuclear negotiations, you weren't talking about it as an

429
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 4: independent analyst. You were talking about not taking the American side.

430
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 4: You were talking about taking the Iranian side, which is

431
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 4: just pretty wild and mind blowing to me. And also

432
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 4: there you know, some of these people that were involved

433
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 4: and caught up in these emails also were a part

434
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: of the six billion dollar rents and payment agreement that

435
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: the Biden team just paid to the Iranians last week.

436
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 4: So this is why would it can easily be looked

437
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 4: at as like, well, this is a niche story. I

438
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: don't think it's a niche story because it shows that

439
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 4: the Iranian regime set out to get these former Obama

440
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 4: and some current Biden officials to get them to influence

441
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 4: United States foreign policy on behalf of Iran.

442
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: Morgan, thanks for coming on with us, and I saw

443
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: your tweets this morning, which was what which was kind

444
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: of made me think, oh my god, this is kind

445
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: of a big story, and I bet a lot of

446
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: our audience would know.

447
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: And you just hit on it.

448
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: We just gave six billion dollars to Iran, I think

449
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: for five prisoners to be returned as part of a

450
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 2: prisoner exchange. Also, how much money did we give Iran

451
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: over the initial Obama deal? Because am I correct to

452
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 2: remember that basically we just flew in planes filled with

453
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 2: cash and that happened, right.

454
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 4: That absolutely happened. That was reported, that was uncovered by

455
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: the Wall Street Journal. The Obama teams thought that they

456
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 4: would get away with that. It ended up being at

457
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: least ninety billions of dollars also in sanctions relief. And

458
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 4: by the way, you know, what do we think the

459
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: Iranians did with that money. Well, we know that they

460
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 4: increased their ballistic missile production so that they can more

461
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: easily threaten Israel, threaten their neighbors, eventually threaten the United States.

462
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 4: We obviously have troops in the region. You know that

463
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 4: money did not go to public health, infrastructure, right, or

464
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 4: roads or bridges or new schools. That money and sanctions

465
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: relief went to the Shia militias. Around the region that

466
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 4: Iran uses to destabilize and to commit acts of terrorism.

467
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 4: So the United States sanctions relief directly contributed, directly contributed

468
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 4: to groups like you know has Bulah and Hamas and

469
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 4: other Shia militants, for example, the ones in Iraq, which

470
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 4: Buck knows quite well, which attacked American interest in have

471
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 4: seeing some American contractor deaths due to that. So they

472
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 4: you know, they didn't keep any of their promises. Of

473
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 4: course they didn't. You'd be silly to be silly to

474
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 4: believe in the first time, and especially silly to believe

475
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: of the second time.

476
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: While we've got you, Morgan, I saw a story and

477
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: I bet you have an interesting take on it speaking

478
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: of Iran, where MBS who basically run Saudi Arabia said, well,

479
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 2: if Iran gets a nuclear weapon, then Saudi Arabia is

480
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 2: also going to need nuclear weapons. Yeah, what do you

481
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: think about that? And what is the geopolitical status right

482
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: now as you see it of the Middle East. We

483
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: tend to focus right now on obviously Europe with Ukraine, Russia,

484
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 2: and then the threat of China Taiwan. My eyebrows got

485
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: raised a little bit about the idea of Saudi Arabia

486
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: also having nukes, Iran having nukes, given how unstable many

487
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 2: of those countries in the Middle East could be, how

488
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: nervous should we be about that?

489
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: Well, Listen, I lived in Saudi Arabia at the US

490
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 4: embassy from twenty ten and eleven in the Saudist told

491
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 4: me that back then, right, they said, if Iran is

492
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon, we have to get one. So while

493
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 4: that position is not is not new, I definitely think

494
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 4: that it's the first time many Americans are hearing it,

495
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 4: and we should be very considered concerned because there is

496
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 4: no plan from the Biden team to stop Iran from

497
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 4: getting a nuclear weapon. We were very clear in the

498
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 4: Trump administration. We ripped up the JCPUA. We said, this

499
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 4: is not a treaty, right, the Obama team did not

500
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 4: go to the Senate to get it ratified as a treaty.

501
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 4: It's a political document. By the way, they didn't go

502
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 4: to the Senate because they knew they couldn't get the votes. Also,

503
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 4: not even from their own party, Chuck Schumer and others

504
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 4: other Meninda's well, Menandaz isn't a great example, but at

505
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 4: the time, but you know, so, we've never believed that

506
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 4: we instituted the maximum economic pressure campaign, and President Trump

507
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: stated it very clearly, by any means necessary, Iran was

508
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 4: not going to obtain a nuclear weapon. And the Iranians

509
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 4: knew that Trump was serious because he took out Costom Soul,

510
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 4: the money, you know, their world leading terrorists, the person

511
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 4: who is in charge of the IRGC and so, which

512
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 4: is the Iran Revolutionary Guard by the way, sary to

513
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 4: use the acronyms. So that's I think what we're missing

514
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 4: from Team Biden is they have tried for three years now.

515
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 4: They chase the Iranians around the world, tried to negotiate, begged, cajoled,

516
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: pleaded for them to get back into the deal. The

517
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 4: Iranians haven't done that because the Americans, the current administration

518
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 4: is not enforcing the sanctions on Iran, So like, why

519
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 4: would they make a deal with us. There's sanctions placed

520
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 4: on them that no one respects her or enforces. There's

521
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 4: no credible threat of force from the Biden team saying

522
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: if you do this, we're going to stop you. So, like,

523
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: what'sn't it for them to get a deal. There's nothing

524
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,959
Speaker 4: really good in it for them.

525
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: Morgan or tegis everybody. Morgan appreciate you being here.

526
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,160

Speaker 2: service plan without attaching a price hike to it, that's

00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 3: Need a break from politics, a little comedy to counter

553
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: the craziness. So do we The Sunday Hang, a weekend

Speaker 2: Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate Morgan

558
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: or tagus there explaining what I think is kind of

559
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: a complicated story, but basically Iran go figure playing us

560
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 2: getting billions of dollars that was that was sent in

561
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: partly based on that that being able to play us,

562
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: And uh, I just I just come back to this, Buck.

563
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: I know we're gonna be talking a lot about twenty

564
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 2: twenty four. Tomorrow is the debate. We'll spend a lot

565
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: of time talking about the debate. What can you point to?

566
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: This is a question that I think is going to

567
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: continue to echo all throughout the next you know, thirteen

568
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: or fourteen months.

569
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: As we get ready for the election.

570
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: What can you point to and say, you know what

571
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: the Bidens were really on top of this.

572
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: Graft corruption getting money from China. I mean they do

573
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: have some skills, Clay be fair.

574
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: I mean that is objectively, their entire campaign is going

575
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: to be Trump is an existential threat to democracy with

576
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: a with also a layering of they're going to put

577
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: you in prison if you get an abortion. But none

578
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 2: of it is going to be hey, we've actually done well.

579
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: And this is where I think this Bidenomics argument that

580
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 2: you laid out is really going to blow up in

581
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: their face when you argue, hey, we're responsible for the

582
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: economy and it's the worst economy ever for many people

583
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: out there. When it comes to we're about to hit

584
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 2: four dollars a gallon gas inflation, everything has cost everybody

585
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: who has got who has been working, has gotten a

586
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: default pay decrease because of this.

587
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: That's a tough spot to be in. They will use

588
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: every lever at their disposal, to obviously to include mortgaging

589
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: our future financial prospects in this country to make it

590
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: look good in the election year. As I said before,

591
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: though they don't really have that much that they or

592
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: at least it's not readily apparent to me what they

593
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: can do to try to juice the numbers in their

594
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: favor all that much. But I also this is the

595
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: eor in me hers been he I know I was

596
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: in it. I was like very I've been very positive

597
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: recently about Trump's prospects, but this is one thought that

598
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: I keep having. Obama went into Now, Obama was a

599
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: once centner generation Democrat, political talent, et cetera, et cetera. Fine,

600
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: he went into the twenty twelve election with it was

601
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: it was the case, the worst recovery out of a

602
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: recession in seventy years, Okay, the worst, the slowest, most

603
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: sort of anemic recovery possible, and yet he won reelection

604
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: by a lot. You know, I think what Biden's going

605
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: to do is say, effectively juxtapos where we are against

606
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: when everyone's masked and fighting the virus and COVID and

607
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: lockdowns and all that stuff, and say, see how far

608
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: we've come now. I don't know if that's going to

609
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: work for their purposes. To me, that argument is is preposterous.

610
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: Right to me, that argument makes absolutely no sense. But

611
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: that's something I think that they will try. And I

612
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: think that the January sixth stuff, you know, to what

613
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: I want to know is if you get swing voters

614
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: in the key states to sit down and you start

615
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: asking them, you know, does your opinion of Trump? Did

616
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: it change after January sixth of twenty twenty one. I

617
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: would like to see what that data looks like, because

618
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: that's the thing that's concerned learning to me about Trump prospects.

619
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: Maybe the answer, by the way, is they've overplayed it

620
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: and we've heard it a million times and who cares.

621
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: But I don't think Democrats believe that will be the answer.

622
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: I think that that's the center of their plan.

623
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: I want at the start of the next hour, I

624
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: want to go back into buck this Axios headline.

625
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: I swear I know. I'm like, I know what Clay's

626
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: gonna say. Let's talk about how Biden can't walk. Let's

627
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: talk about how Biden's stumbling all over the place. That's

628
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: what Clay wants.

629
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: Just like, let's set the table here for everybody just

630
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: to think about. Wake up the morning. We talked about

631
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 2: the prep. Everybody like we're reading, trying to make make

632
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 2: sure we're on.

633
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: Top of everything.

634
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: I open up the Axios Morning Email because they do

635
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: a good job kind of distilling and giving you an

636
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: idea of what the talking points of the day are

637
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 2: going to be, and the Biden campaign's top focus right

638
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: now is let's figure out how to stop Biden from

639
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 2: tripping again. I can't believe that this is real, and

640
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: it reminds me of as a mission I know, and it

641
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: brings me that I wanted to hit this from our VIPs.

642
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: Mark says Buck, gentleman, I appreciate it.

643
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,959
Speaker 2: It's time for Buck to capitulate. The chances of Joe

644
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: Biden making it to the campaign finish line are zero.

645
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm not joking.

646
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: The Democrats have tried everything they can think of to

647
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 2: put lipstick on this political pig. But if you ever

648
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 2: seen an elderly woman with lipstick on her face because

649
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 2: she can't find her lips, that's Uncle Joe. It's a

650
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 2: good analogy. Energy, border, inflation, crime, go no further. He

651
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: loses on every one of these issues. Add in that

652
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: he probably will be needing twenty four hour nursing care

653
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 2: by this time next year. It's a fantasy that he'll

654
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 2: be a candidate. Just saying, I think Mark various stute

655
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 2: of of the political process. We migulate Buck.

656
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: We need fewer of Clay's extended family to call an

657
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: email today. I'm just gonna put that out there, all right,

658
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: second cousins in uh In, you know, different parts of

659
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: the SEC country need to stop. I appreciate.

660
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 2: I appreciate my good friend Judy in Kentucky, eighty three

661
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 2: year old grandma of three who has excellent taste in radio.

662
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: That's all. I thought. She'd even thrown me a little like,

663
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, consolation, like you're okay, Buck, nothing nothing from Judy,

664
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: no love, no but but seriously on the on the

Speaker 1: VIP listener, mark, vip listener, Mark. I'm going to mark

666
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: this day because I expect that when Joe Biden is

667
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,959
Speaker 1: in fact the Democrat nominee, Uncle Bill Bill o'riley's gonna

668
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: be in the show tomorrow, I'm gonna do the same

669
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: thing with him. When that happens, I expect an email

670
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: in perhaps Shakespearean's sonnet form about what a a a

671
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: brilliant political mind who will not buckle to conventional wisdom.

672
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: Mister Buck Sexton is okay, k vip mark you mark

00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: in the Biden They're worried, they're trying to make sure

676
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: he can walk. This is not like your ten month

677
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 2: old grandchild. And you're like, well, we're trying to make sure.

678
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 2: We're hoping that he can walk by Christmas. We're hoping that,

679
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 2: you know, he's going to be able to wear these

680
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 2: new shoes that we got for him. It's the president

681
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: of the flipping the United States, Buck, and the Democrat

682
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,840

00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: a minute.

686
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: Sometimes you have to pull yourself and I'll expand on

687
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 2: this a little bit, Buck, but if you ever think

688
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,959
Speaker 2: to yourself, am I behaving in a crazy way? Sometimes

689
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 2: you have to take yourself out of the context. You'll

690
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: look crazy.

691
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:49,640
