He is a Fox Business Network senior correspondent. Charles, 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: appreciate you taking the time to join us. What is 19 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: going to happen with inflation and do you believe we're 20 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: already in a recession. And what might twenty twenty three 21 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 1: look like as we continue to move forward? How bad 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: is it? Couldn't get worse? Do you think it's going 23 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: to get better? Take us into the economy as you 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: see it. Well, I mean, this is kind of a 25 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: tricky area right now. I mean half of the market 26 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: is saying we're gonna have wicked inflation, and you know, 27 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: a lot of smart investors are saying that dal's gonna 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: you know, plummet another ten thousand points, and then you 29 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: see other people saying, hey, we'll get through this. I 30 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: will say this the Fed. If you take the Fed 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: at its words, right, which is we have to get 32 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: inflation down to the target two percent, that means they're 33 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: gonna raise interest rates for the probably I mean definitely 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: this week, right, but probably the next meeting and the 35 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: meeting after that. So we're gonna have three rate increases 36 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: in a row. And if you take them at its word, 37 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean JR. Own Powell the Fitch here, he's not 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: going to stop until we get it under two percent. 39 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: We already had two quarters of negative GDP growth um Obviously, 40 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: we still have decent employment, so it's not it's not 41 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: one of these recessions where employment's flowing off the cliff. 42 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: But you you got some you got some issues. Um, 43 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: if he raises three times, you know, and I think 44 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: you know you already see it in tech. You hear 45 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: it on Wall Street that they're talking about laos at 46 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: the big banks because deal flow is down. You know, 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: you might say, okay, that's the banks, deal flows down. 48 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: What is some guy working in a factory care about that? Well, 49 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: if deal flows down, that means big companies aren't refinancing, 50 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: they're not expanding, they're cutting back, right, So Wall Street 51 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: processes those trades, so that that's a sign that the 52 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: economy is slowing. What do you think about the housing market? 53 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: By the way, Charlie, that too. Um, Now, housing is 54 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: is kind of a it's a regional thing and you 55 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: have to I mean, if you talk to people, they'll say, 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: housing stock nationally is is very low. So you know, 57 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: even with the higher mortgage rates, right, they've they've sort 58 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: of they've essentially tripled, we won't have an issue. Um. 59 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: That said, you got to look at it where the 60 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: hotspots were charring the pandemic. Um, look at Charleston, South Carolina, 61 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: look at Ashton, North Carolina. Look at Nashville, Look at 62 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: these places. You know they there's a there's inventory there 63 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: because they've built a lot. So um, that could be 64 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: an issue too. And as you know, a lot of 65 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: people have their wealth bolt in the markets and in 66 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: their housing. Uh. One thing good about housing if you 67 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: don't but if you don't buy it on on leverage 68 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: and borrowing too much. Um, it's a physical asset. You know, 69 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: you get to keep it. Uh. You can't really say 70 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: that with a stock if if you bought it at 71 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: ten and it's down three. You know what I'm saying. 72 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: So Um, But all this is factoring in and and 73 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: all this will play out and the next you'll will 74 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: know in the next couple of months. Charles, you said 75 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: you're going to know in the next couple of months. 76 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: Do you have any confidence at all in Biden's team 77 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: of economic advisors? Buck and I talk sometimes, and we're 78 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: not claiming to be savants when it comes to economic knowledge, 79 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: but it feels as if the Democrat Party has completely 80 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: sort of sort of eviscerated any understanding or argument in 81 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: favor of business, making it increasingly difficult to believe that 82 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: the Biden administration has the ability to get this thing 83 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: back on the right track. How would you assess as advisors, Well, 84 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: you know, there's two I mean, when you break it down, 85 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: government has two responses to the economy, right, it has 86 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: fiscal policy and monetary policy. Monetary policy is handled by 87 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: the fit that's the money supply. It tends to increase 88 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: the money supply when we're in a recession, decrease it 89 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: when we have massive inflation, and even decrease it when 90 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: we have massive inflation, even as we could be in 91 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: a recession, because it's it's it's you having inflation. See. 92 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: The problem is inflation is such a wicked tax on 93 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: the working class that you know, the country's full apart 94 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: when when people have to work three jobs just to 95 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, buy the same hamburger they used to buy 96 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: it with one, even if there's three jobs to be had. 97 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: And that's kind of it's not we're not quite there yet. 98 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: But that's a little bit what we're dealing with right now. Um, 99 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: So keep that in mind. The fiscal policy is different. 100 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: Fiscal is what comes out of the White House. And 101 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: the problem is that this the fiscal policy that we 102 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: have is so bizarre and so cockamany. I mean, on 103 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: one hand, it feeds inflation through massive amounts of spending, 104 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: and on the other hand, it restricts, it attacks businesses 105 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: through massive amounts of regulation. So if you were if 106 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: you were to say, you know, there's there's a Biden 107 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: administration doing what needs to be done to get us 108 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: out of recession, I would say, no, we're speaking of 109 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: Charlie Gasparino, Fox News Business, Uh, and Charlie, I just 110 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: want to know, what do you what do you think? 111 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: What are you looking for? If we see a headline 112 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: in the journal or over at Fox Business, or were 113 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: anyone who's covering the markets and the economy more generally 114 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: for the people listening to this, what's the oh, it's 115 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: time to batten down the hatches indicator? Is it just 116 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: a month of really bad job losses? Is it the 117 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: market just getting getting crushed? I mean, it already feels 118 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: like lately that's come pretty close to happen in a 119 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: couple of times, although not as bad as it's been 120 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: in the past. So what are the what are the 121 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: worry indicators that you might see here? If you see 122 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: I think it's a there's a combination of things. If 123 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: the FED comes out this week and says we're gonna 124 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: hyper interest rates, you know, one hundred basis points as 125 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: opposed to seventy five. You know that that would be something. 126 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to do that, but that 127 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: would be something because then they see something in the 128 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: numbers that says this inflation is just not going away, 129 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: and they gotta there's something much worse than what we know, 130 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: even though what we know is not great. Right, So 131 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: that's one thing. The other thing is obviously ployment falling off, 132 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: you know dramatically, uh, you know, and that would be 133 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: a problem. You know, job openings, you know, decreasing and 134 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: things like that. Then you then you know, people are 135 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: preparing for a recession. You know, they see the tighten credit, 136 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: the tighten credit conditions, and their businesses are pairing back. 137 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: So those are the two things I would look at. 138 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: I don't think the Fed's going to one hundred base point. 139 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: They're going to seventy five probably, but still that's not great. Again, 140 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: look at the employment numbers. That's they're going to be interesting, Charles. 141 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: The FedEx number seemed to have really shook the stock 142 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: market because FedEx sort of has its pulse on the 143 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: overall national economic picture. I don't know if you saw 144 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,559 Speaker 1: Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx, basically came out and said, 145 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: we're in a recession now, right, whatever it's called, and 146 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: sertainly we know with two declining quarters that technically that 147 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: is a rough estimation of a recession. What are the 148 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: FedEx numbers tell us about where the market is, where 149 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: it's going and how nervous based on what the CEO 150 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: Fred Smith said about the economy, do you think people 151 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: should be uh predicated on that that that sort of knowledge, 152 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: and I think I think we are hitting for a 153 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: steeper recession than we have now. That's me, okay, It 154 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: just this is the somewhat calm before the storm. Again, 155 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: if you think the FED is going to raise rates twice, 156 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: we have a two percent inflation target and we're at 157 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: eight point three and not really going down, well, then 158 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: you know we're talking three rate increases and they're gonna 159 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: they're gonna slam the brakes on the economy. I mean, 160 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: think about where mortgage rates. I was gonna ask you, Charlie, 161 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: where do you think mortgage rates could go? Well? There 162 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: at six? Now could we see double digits? You could 163 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: see ten Wow, they do three three seventy five bases 164 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: point increases. That then that makes homes a whole lot 165 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: more expensive for people to finance. Now, I mean if 166 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: you have cash, and not only by the way for 167 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: Buck's question there, Charles, there's then also a lot of 168 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: people that might be interested in moving that say I've 169 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: got a two and a half two and three core 170 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: percent interest rate locked in, There's no way I should 171 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: even if I think I need a bigger house because 172 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: I had a new baby, or because we need to 173 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: move to a better school district. There's gonna be a 174 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: whole lot of people sitting down literally doing the math 175 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: on this and saying it's hard to give up a 176 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: two and a half two and three quarter percent mortgage 177 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: right to even if you feel like you need to 178 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: move to a bigger home, because that bite even at 179 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: six ye're getting if you're talking about potential double digits, 180 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that is monstrous to so many people. I know, 181 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: it really is. So I think that's where we are 182 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, I mean, from from what I've seen it, 183 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: if basically, if you were in the market based on 184 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: the rating increase you've already seen, if you could afford 185 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: a half a million dollar house before. Now it's more 186 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: like a house that's two hundred and fifty k. If 187 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: it was a two hundred and fifty K house, now 188 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: it's more like one twenty five. Yeah, that's that's how 189 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: recessions start, you know, Just like that, you've just and 190 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: then you got so many people who bought in at 191 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: the peak. Right if you bought a year ago at 192 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: the price, even though you might have a good mortgage rate, 193 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: the numbers might are coming back on your house, which 194 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: is what happened in Oay. I got one think Charlie also, 195 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: which is that you know Biden. He talks this big 196 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: game about how, oh you know Wall Street and the Republicans. 197 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: Biden got more money than anybody from Wall Street in 198 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: history except for Barack Obama. Do you talk to these guys. 199 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: You got sources all over the street and people. It's 200 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: really the financial sector for everybody because no one really works. 201 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: I mean very few people actually worked on Wall Street anymore? 202 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: Um are do they have any buyer's remorse for their 203 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: for their love of Biden? In the last election. You 204 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: might have seen my interview with Larry Fink, who you 205 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: know runs black Rock, which has I mean, there are 206 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: Black Rock executives all over the White House. He's got 207 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: deep ties to the Democratic Party, and he came out 208 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: and criticized Biden and the spending. What he was saying 209 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: is that he's spending as Jerome Powell needs to raise rates. 210 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: So what he's doing is stoking inflation, and probably the 211 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: worst type of inflation. Not exactly you know, increasing supply side, 212 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: but just handing out money for people to spend at 213 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: a time when Jerome Powell needs to decrease the money 214 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: supply essentially, So you know, that's Larry Finks saying that. So, yeah, 215 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: what happens if that just keeps going, right, if we 216 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: keep spending money, which we're doing unfortunately while also trying 217 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: to restricting, like what happens. It just makes the fense 218 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: jobs so much more. And that's why people were talking 219 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: about three rate increases. That's actually why people are talking 220 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: about one hundred basis points. Because the Light administration is 221 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: working at odds, you know, engineering a soft landing. And 222 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: by the way, Jerome Powell's not you know, it's complicit 223 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: in this too. I mean, he kept printing money, money, 224 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: money for like for way longer than we needed to. 225 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: We were coming out of the pandemic slowly, surely the 226 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: vaccines kind of work. They didn't work, but you know, 227 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: we were getting getting our sea legs back, and people 228 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: were calling back to work. We didn't need to, you know, 229 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: we didn't need monetary policy to match what the idiots 230 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: in Washington were doing on fiscal policy, you know, the spending. 231 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: Yet he kept doing it. So now he recognizes that 232 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: probably too much. He probably did it to get reappointed 233 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: by Biden, right uh. And now he has a job 234 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: to engineer soft landing. That means make sure the economy 235 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: doesn't slow so much we go into a steep procession. 236 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: U Joe Biden is making that job a lot work. 237 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: You got you gotta tell us, Charlie, if if the 238 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: soft landing they're going forward turns into the plane heading 239 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: into the side of them of you know, the mountain, 240 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: and it's time to start buying up land off the 241 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: grid in bellies, you gotta let us know, all right, 242 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: I believe you, Uh, you know, I still don't like 243 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: buying in other countries. Ye. One thing about that important tip, 244 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: I didn't know that interesting. One thing that we have 245 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: here is the rule of law. You go to another country, 246 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: you have currency risk, you have legal risk. Uh. You 247 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: know that's the one thing about this. You know, we 248 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: sit around and you know, I'm not a big fan 249 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's economic policies, but you know I'm not 250 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: looking to leave. You know when I heard all those 251 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: Democrats saying, oh, they want to leave the country when 252 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: Trump becomes president, to go we are. We are the 253 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: best of the rest, no matter what happens here, flight, actially, 254 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: it series, whatever.

Welcome back in Clay Turravis 274 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: buck Sexton show. All right, we have defended people all 275 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: over the great state of Utah. We had a fantastic 276 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: trip out there, so at the end of July early August, 277 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: I can't even remember everything runs together. It was fabulous. 278 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: But we know the fake volleyball racism allegations that happened 279 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: at BYU that everyone in the media jumped on and 280 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: disparaged not only BYU as a university, but also anyone 281 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: who was in the Mormon faith. And we now know, 282 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: based on an extensive BYU investigation, that that was all 283 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: made up, that it was Jesse Smollett on a volleyball court. 284 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: Even though there are huge percentages of the American public 285 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: that will never know that truth and saw the allegation 286 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: which was accepted as true by the media, and just 287 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: ran with it and never saw the follow up. Which 288 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: is why this story, which will get a scintilla as 289 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: much attention I think, deserves to be discussed. So Oregon 290 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: hosted BYU in a football game over the weekend. Some 291 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: of you may have paid attention to it. On video, 292 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: Oregon fans are seen chanting f Mormons. Listen, we've edited it, 293 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: but listen to this audio. All right. That is an 294 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: organized chant from inside of Oregon Stadium that you heard 295 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: f the Mormons, and certainly we bleeped it out, but 296 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: you know what they were saying. We will talk about 297 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: it on this show. We wrote about it at out Kick. 298 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: Imagine Buck, you're not a hardcore sports guy, but BYU 299 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: just got accused of being raised the most awful university 300 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: out there. They go on the road to play a 301 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: football game. There's actual video evidence of them being attacked 302 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: based on their religion, and it will get one one 303 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: thousandth maybe as much attention as the fake allegation against. 304 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: This story is to bring this full circle, the BYU 305 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: racial slur allegation story and its totality has shown us 306 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: the only bigotry that actually has existed in this whole 307 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: thing is against Mormons in Utah at BYU. That's the 308 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: only actual bigotry that we have any evidence of that 309 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: there's any We just played it for you, right. So 310 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: we also mentioned the very beginning that I think BYU 311 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: was chosen because it is a predominantly white and obviously 312 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: entirely Mormon as an institution, and therefore, in the left 313 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: wing mind an allegation of racial slur is more likely 314 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: to be believed than even at other instances, And so 315 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: there was essentially anti Mormon Mormon bigotry in the origins 316 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: of this story and in the finality, in the end 317 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: of the story. Can you imagine if there had been 318 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: another minority religious group that was actually being Again, this 319 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: is in the stands hundreds, if not thousands of Oregon 320 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: fans chanting f the Mormons because they are playing a 321 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 1: game against BYU and nothing will happen. Right. Oregon has 322 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: apologized and said, oh, we shouldn't have done that, but 323 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: this is tangible evidence of their behavior. And because it's 324 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: white Mormon people, you can say whatever you want about them, 325 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: and there are zero consequences. There is no consistency here. 326 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to play this. I just wanted you guys 327 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: to hear it. We appreciate our brothers and sisters, so 328 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: we'll have your back even if nobody else will. Good 329 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: old fashioned arguments about politics used to center around which 330 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: policies were good bad for American which one should be 331 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: pursued to improve the country. Too often, today, however, we 332 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: find ourselves arguing about whether our country is even great, 333 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: and a growing number of Americans question whether we should 334 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: be proud of our nation or shamed. The reason for 335 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: this is simple. For too many years, too many of 336 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: our schools have been neglecting to teach young Americans about 337 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: America's great heritage of liberty. Instead, they're getting presented with 338 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: the dishonest narrative of America as a fundamentally unjust and 339 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: racist society.

And Tiffany, we appreciate you calling 355 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: in and joining us here because we want to give 356 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: you a big aid to the best of our ability, 357 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: big audience listening to us right now in Seattle, all 358 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: over the state of Washington. You're in a really tight race. 359 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: A lot of people out there are like, wait, Washington's 360 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: a tight senate race. Can you tell us about yourself 361 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: and about your race to introduce it for people who 362 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 1: might not be aware of what's taking place out where 363 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: you're running. Yes, well, thank you so much for having 364 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: me on. This is a very very important election. You know, 365 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: I'm a nurse and my life changed when I walked 366 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: into my husband's trauma care unit at Walter Reed Army 367 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: Medical Center after he had been blown up by a 368 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: suicide car bomb in Iraq. I resigned from my nursing job, 369 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: took a one way flight out to Walter Reed, and 370 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: you know that began my fight. I had to stand 371 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: up and fight for my husband when he didn't have 372 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: a voice, he was in a coma. One thing was certain, 373 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: the suicide bomber that detonated his car, The shrapnel from 374 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,119 Speaker 1: that car obliterated both of his eyes, so my husband 375 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: would never ever see again. I took on the Army. 376 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: I refused to sign his paperwork to retire him and 377 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: transition him into the DA. I believed in a better 378 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: path and I had this crazy idea, this wild idea 379 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: that perhaps a book blind officer could continue on active duty. 380 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: You know, the doctors looked at me like you're crazy, 381 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: missus Smiley, like there's no way, but built coalition coalitions 382 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: who believed in that vision as well. My husband went 383 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: on and became the first blind active duty officer to 384 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: ever serve our country. We served forever a decade with 385 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: him completely blind, and the nurse and me knew once 386 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: he was well, I went back and I made it right. 387 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 1: Still a lot of work to do, but I took 388 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: on the VA, took on big government. So I have 389 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: a track record of taking on big government and winning. 390 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I will do when I win 391 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: from all of Washington State this November. Tiffany, it's buck, 392 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. What are you hoping to accomplish 393 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: if you do get to represent the state of Washington 394 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,479 Speaker 1: in the Senate And what has been going on? I mean, 395 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: one thing we talk about a lot on this show 396 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: is I live in a blue state in New York. 397 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: I grew up here, I was born and raised here, 398 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: and there's been a major deterioration that has occurred here 399 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: over the last three years, particularly the last two years 400 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. What are you seeing in Washington, 401 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: Washington State that people need to know about and what 402 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: do you want to do to change it? Yes, I 403 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: mean it's Washington State is such a beautiful, amazing state. 404 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: We are just under represented and it's clear Patty Marie 405 00:21:54,160 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden policies are destroying our livelihoods here. Just 406 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: take crime for example, the highest crime that we've had 407 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: in thirty years. Patty Murray went on the Senate floor 408 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: of June of twenty twenty called for funds to be 409 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: diverted away from our police force, and then she went 410 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: into hiding. And what I'm hearing all over Washington States, 411 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: people are like, we haven't seen her. She hasn't been 412 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: around until she came out attacking you, Tiffany. You know, 413 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: two months prior to the primary in June, spending millions 414 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: painting me as an extremist and trying to say that 415 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm a threat to democracy a family that has served 416 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: in sacrifice for their country. I maybe it doesn't make 417 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: any sense when we have real problems on the grounds. 418 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: You know what we need to do, and I know 419 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: we can get to work right away on just the 420 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: basics of law and order. Right. If our federal government 421 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: does anything, it's protection of the American people. So we 422 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: need to prevent Title forty two from being lifted until 423 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: we have real border security. I've actually been to the borders. 424 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that Patty Murray ever has. Granted, I 425 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: was eleven years old when she was first elected, so 426 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how they kept records back then, but 427 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: as of recent I don't think she's ever been to 428 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: the border. I was down there. I saw it with 429 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: my own eyes. Buck. There were people crossing the river. 430 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: We had cartel members yelling at us. I took a 431 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: boat right down the Rio grand I saw the wrist 432 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: bands with the different colors, you know, depending on what 433 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: cartel these these immigrants are paying money to. I saw 434 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: the boats that they feel full of drugs, and it's 435 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: too easy. You just push it right across into stash 436 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: houses that are in the United States of America. So 437 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: we have real issues. We need to secure the border, 438 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: we need to hold repeat offenders accountable. And something that 439 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: I can do at the federal level is also allow 440 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: law enforcement agencies to use federal grant dollars. Some offer 441 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars in hiring and retentive bonuses. We need 442 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: good officers. We need them now, especially in Washington States. 443 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: And it's not just you know, crimes, not just having 444 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: a public safety effect, having a massive economic effect here 445 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: on our small businesses. We've seen Starbucks shutter doors here 446 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: in Washington State. Amazon moved to their offices smaller. You know, 447 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: mom and pop shots shops are moving out because there's 448 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: no accountability. Patty murray soft on crime agenda is destroying 449 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: our beautiful stay. I will stand up in fight and 450 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: be a voice for all of Washington. We're talking to 451 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: Tephany Smiley. A poll came out for people out there nationwide, 452 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: certainly in Washington as well. At the very beginning of 453 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: this month from the Trafalgar Group had Patty Murray at 454 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: forty nine, you at forty six. I think, as you mentioned, 455 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: she's starting to get a little bit nervous. She's been 456 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: attacking you more aggressively. That's a three point margin right now. 457 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: We've got a monster audience listening to us right now 458 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: in Seattle, also in Spokane, Washington. Our affiliate by the way, 459 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: in Spokane kqu and T appreciate everybody out there who's listening. 460 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna have one debate against against the Murray right. 461 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: I believe his schedule because I don't think she'll debate 462 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: you anymore. You can tell us about that. But also 463 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: why can I talk a lot about Seattle and how 464 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: beautiful of a city it is, yes, and how Democrat 465 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: policies have really attacked the vibrancy and vitality of what 466 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: should be a jewel of the Pacific Northwest. What are 467 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: you hearing from people in the Seattle area who may 468 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: have been traditional Democrats about why they're listening to you 469 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: and what do you expect to see in that debate? 470 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: Do you think she's going to still try and run 471 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: and hide from her record? Yeah, you know, you are 472 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: so right on Seattle. It's a shame what has happened. 473 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: Patty Murray is destroying our city and our state. And 474 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: you know what I hear is, you know, the infrastructure bill. 475 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: People are talking about that. That's a big deal here 476 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: in Washington State. And you know, suburban moms are saying, 477 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: that's great that we got the infrastructure bill, so I, 478 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: you know, could go through the tunnel and know that 479 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: I'll be safe. But they say, what's the point If 480 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: I don't even feel safe getting out of my car 481 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: in Seattle or letting my kids run around, what's the point. 482 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: Like I said, the bare minimum the federal government could 483 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: do for us is protect our citizens law and order, 484 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: and Patty Murray soft on crime. She's non existent. She 485 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: doesn't even talk about these issues. And we haven't even 486 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: gone into the cost of living in the rising grocery 487 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: prices in Washington State either. So this is what's on 488 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: the ballot this November. These aren't Democrat or Republican issues. 489 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: These are American issues. These are livelihood issues. And when 490 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: we talk about debates, she has Patty Murray's drug raphee. 491 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: It's almost like she's annoyed that I am forcing her 492 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: to be accountable to the voters. You know, she's done 493 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: them for thirty years. She hasn't really had a real race. 494 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: And that's why I know that we can win, because 495 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: I've been listening to voters in all thirty nine counties. 496 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: I have been all over Washington State and back again, 497 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: and we will continue to do that all the way 498 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: through November. She has drug her feet on the debates. 499 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 1: She finally agreed to one debate, but I want to 500 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: be clear that that is after ballot's drop, which I 501 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: think is an insult to the voters here in Washington State. 502 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: It's actually a pattern too, and pens Lvania Fetterman wants 503 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,479 Speaker 1: people to start voting before they actually hear them on 504 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 1: the debate stage. Claire, you got something though, Yeah, No, 505 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say you mentioned suburban moms. There's 506 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: a lot of swing voters out there. I've got a 507 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: fourteen year old, and twelve year old and eight year old. 508 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,479 Speaker 1: I believe you have multiple kids yourself. Yes, what are 509 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: you hearing from moms and what do you want for 510 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: your own kids? You talked about the work that you 511 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: did for your husband. What are you seeing for your 512 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: kids in their schools? And hearing from Washington parents. You know, 513 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 1: we are winning the messaging war here. We with Patty Murray, 514 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: we are the campaign for the parents. Most recently, you know, 515 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: Patty Murray doubled down. She was asked, given what we 516 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: know now with the plummeting test scores, the childhood anxiety 517 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: and self harm that's on the rise, you know, do 518 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: you have any regrets about how you handled the pandemic. 519 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: She doubled down and pretty much said no, that they 520 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: followed this science and they did what was right. Well, 521 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: you're talking about a state here in Washington where hits 522 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: were shuttered out of school for over a year and 523 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: a half. My three voice included I saw the effects. 524 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: I've talked to the parents about this. This is wrong, 525 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: and Patty Murray supported it and doubled down on it. 526 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: I you know, so I have an agenda for education 527 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: reform here in Washington State. We need to expand school choice, 528 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 1: promote curriculum transparency, and we also need to create an 529 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: expand K through twelve STEM education programs. College is not 530 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: for everyone, you know, I mentioned the infrastructure bill talking 531 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: to contractors all over Washington State. Their apprentice programs are empty. 532 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: And you know, Patty Murray Shran is the mom in 533 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: tennis shoes. She was going to fight for our education 534 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: and fight for our kids. She's done nothing to that court. 535 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean, look at where we're at now. So that's 536 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: that's how I know will win because these parents who 537 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: have watched their kids suffer here in Washington State, they 538 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: know that there has to be leadership. This isn't about 539 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: political This is about being a leader, someone who will 540 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: go do what's right and fight for their kids. And 541 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: we're on the right side of the message for it. 542 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: Patty Murray, you know, again, doubles down with her DC. 543 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: She's doing what's right for DC. She's doing what's right 544 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: for Joe Biden. Yeah, it sounds like she's focused on 545 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 1: the other Washington tiffany where. You know, We've got people 546 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: listening all across your state right now, including on our 547 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: Seattle affiliate kpt R ten ninety and Spokane KQUNT and others. 548 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: Where can they go to help out, to learn more, 549 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: to donate.

I know. 610 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 1: That's that was positive here. That was a great interview. 611 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: I enjoyed that, but I was cool on today. Just 612 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: on a little side note of the b YU football 613 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: game story or University of Oregon football team suffered a 614 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: tragedies here in the off season. One of their players 615 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: passed away in the tragic ass and Spencer web So 616 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: when BYU came down the tunnel to enter the field, 617 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: they carry the flag and Oregon with a big Oregon 618 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: emblem and yellow flag with the Oregon emblem with Spencer 619 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: Webb's name and number on it. So here's a school 620 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: who was supposed to you know, uh, you know, the opponent, 621 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 1: and they they honored their player by carrying the flag 622 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: and then they get treated like that. It was really disappointing. 623 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: Thank you for pointing that out. That's one percent correct 624 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: BYU showing a great deal of class in honoring a 625 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: difficult loss for Oregon football. And then for those of 626 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: you who missed it, the Oregon football fans, many of 627 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: them chant f the Mormons in the stadium on video, 628 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: and most media going to pretend that it didn't happen 629 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: because BYU and Mormons are a convenient narrative target. And 630 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: I just think it's fascinating because it comes in such 631 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 1: close proximity buck to the lie that was spread about 632 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: BYU Athletics chanting negative racial slurs at a duke volleyball player, 633 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: one hundred percent didn't happen David in Salt Lake City, 634 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: which got for us. Hey, I just wanted to give you, 635 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story 636 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: on that duke volleyball thing. So just hours after this 637 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 1: whole thing occurred and it went viral, not only did 638 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: the news media pile on, but our woke Rhino Governor 639 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: Spencer Cox piled on and issued a condemning statement of 640 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: this individual who actually turns out to have been autistic, 641 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: And to my knowledge, Governor Cox is not issued an apology, 642 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: even though BYU has apologized and reinstated that young man's 643 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 1: bill to participate at athletic events. Yeah, thank you for 644 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: those of you who didn't pay attention to the details. 645 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: They initially suspended a guy that Duke was demanding be suspended. 646 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: It turned out that he was of special needs and 647 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 1: had done nothing wrong at all. And again, a huge 648 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 1: percentage of the American public doesn't know that this story 649 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: was entirely made up. In defense of the governor of Utah, 650 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: he did aggressively condemn the Oregon fans for their chance. 651 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 1: He's the governor of Governor of Utah. I mean, you 652 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: know he better well, yeah, I mean, and in general, 653 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,479 Speaker 1: I would say do better than immediately assuming that any 654 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: allegation is true, particularly if you're an elected official. I mean, 655 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,839 Speaker 1: Biden has been awful on this because he's come out 656 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,800 Speaker 1: multiple times now on stories used the example the border 657 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: the whipping incident for the people on the horse, where 658 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,719 Speaker 1: he says, oh, they're one hundred percent guilty basically, and 659 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: they're going to be consequences the investigation takes place. They 660 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: didn't do anything wrong, but the Biden administrations put the 661 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: proverbial heart before the cart before the horse. We got 662 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: about less than six weeks now before election day. Everybody 663 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 1: days exactly fifty days, so it is a sprint from 664 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 1: now till then. This should be your one stop shop, 665 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,360 Speaker 1: a place we all gather together to focus on what 666 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:26,160 Speaker 1: matters and to mobilize because I think we're heading into 667 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: better place. I think the economy might get a little 668 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: rough here, but we are going to be in a 669 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 1: better place by the end of this year going into 670 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: next year. And so there's optimism ahead and we want 671 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: to focus on that too. But we need all of you. 672 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 1: We need you to spread the word, to listen, to 673 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: download the podcast, to share with friends, to join us. 674 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: Clay and I have a little mission here, saving the country.
