1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in our number three Clay

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We're just talking about one

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: of the callers being out of breath. Buck, I just

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: had to run back upstairs. Incredible athlete training for the

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: Olympics here start this weekend. It turns out the no

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: sex beds, by the way in the Olympics not real.

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: It's a special cardboard design they use that can hold

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: up to four hundred pounds. So there's we got that

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: going for us, which is nice. That's one of the

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: only good things they got going for the Olympics because

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: we got people testing positive. Again, this goes into what

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: I was talking about earlier. One of these athletes have

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: already been vaccinated. Can you imagine testing positive and then

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to compete for an Olympic gold medal?

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: Because of that situation going on right now, I believe

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: we have got now Senator Ted Cruz joining us from Texas.

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: He is not here yet, Buck, he will be shortly

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: going with you. It's one of the fun things about

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: waiting for the phone to ring. You never know. I

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: remember filling time for the president, which is one of

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: the most difficult radio jobs you can have. You're like,

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: when you go to break, you're like, hey, next up

24
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: the President of the United States, and then you come

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: back and you're liked, the President's not here yet. And

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: but also because it's the president, it's like, if you want,

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, if Trump wanted to call in five minutes,

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: ten minutes, an hour after the scheduled time, you're like, yes,

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: mister President, thank you for calling. That's but you know

30
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: that feeling when you do solo radio, it's always a

31
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: lot of spinning plates, but you really have to spin

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: plates in a hurry when you are expecting to have

33
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: a guest and the guest isn't actually there yet. But

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: it's even tougher when you tease the president. So this

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: is actually giving me an opportunity. I wanted to bring

36
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: this up before, and it is why do Democrats because

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: you know, immigration, Ted Crew, senator from Texas knows the

38
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: immigration issue backwards and forwards from a legal perspective of

39
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: everything else. And oh no, wait, oh I was, I was.

40
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: I was so fired up Clay from my immigration rant.

41
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: But we do, in fact now have Senator Ted Cruz

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: from the great state of Texas. Senator Cruz, gonna talk

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: to you again, gentlemen. Great to be with you. Okay,

44
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: your cruise. Sorry I was going to start with you here.

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for being on. I know you're an NBA fan

46
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: and you're a huge Houston Rockets fan. In Game five,

47
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: Game six tonight is going on between the Bucks and

48
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: the Suns. But the ratings have dropped fifty percent in

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: Game five compared to what they were two years ago.

50
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: As a longtime NBA fan, is this a perfect example

51
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: of getting woke and going broke? You know? It may

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: well be. There's no doubt the NBA has gotten much

53
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: more politicized. I'm glad to see this season they backed

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: away from the nonsense they had last year. So they

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: don't have Black Lives Matter painted on the court anymore.

56
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: That they don't have the politically left slogans on the

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: back of their jerseys anymore. So that's a step in

58
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: the right direction. It may just be that that Phoenix

59
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: and Milwaukee are smaller markets that may be driving. And

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: I've been enjoying this finals. I didn't watch last year

61
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: and I've been watching this one and it's it's they're

62
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: both good teams with and it's been good basketball. Senator Cruz,

63
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about what is going on

64
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: at the US Mexico border. You know, there was a

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Fox News correspondent who shared a video of well a

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: couple of things going on. One is hundreds of migrants

67
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: I believe it was in the Del Rio sector who

68
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: were trying to just physically push past members of border

69
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: patrol because they had them so overwhelmed. Then it was men, women, children,

70
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: just hundreds of people that happened. And you also have

71
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: people showing up and saying not just that they're coming

72
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 1: from Central America, which we've known for a while. There

73
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: are roughly seventy countries in the last year that I

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: know of that are represented in illegal crossings at the border,

75
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: people coming from Vietnam, Haiti, Cuba, China, Pakistan. What is

76
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: going on right now and how is the administration doing anything,

77
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: if anything about it. Well, it is a full on

78
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: crisis and catastrophe at the border, and it is the

79
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: direct result of decisions by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris. We

80
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: have open borders right now, and you know, you talk

81
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: about the people coming in. We've had over a half

82
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: million people have come in illegally already this year. We

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: are on pace for more than two million people to

84
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: cross illegally. It is the highest rate of illegal immigration

85
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: in over twenty years, and it is an absolute disaster,

86
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 1: particularly when we're dealing with a pandemic. We're seeing people

87
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: come over with high rates of COVID positivity. They're being

88
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: released into our communities. And even worse than that, the

89
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: Biden administration is talking about wanting to step back from

90
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: Title forty two, which is the tool that is used

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: right now to try to protect against releasing people who

92
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: are COVID positive. They are so committed to open borders,

93
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: to not enforcing our laws that they're willing to jeopardize

94
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: the health and safety of Americans to do so. And

95
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: as you rightly noted, we're seeing people from countries all

96
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: over the world coming across our southern border. If you're

97
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: a terrorist, if you want to do harm to America,

98
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: and you know that Joe Biden has opened up the

99
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: southern border. If you cross, you can stay and they'll

100
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: let you go, well, we're seeing that happen as people

101
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: are heading there to take advantage of this lawless catastrophe.

102
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: Just just one more on this, Senator Cruz, and we're

103
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: speaking Senator Ted Cruz of Texas for anyone who's joining

104
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: us in progress here, Senator Cruz, it seems to me

105
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: that Kamala as the borders are, the Vice President, has

106
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: effectively abandoned the portfolio. We don't hear anything about it,

107
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: there are no speeches about it, and there's clear dissension

108
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: in the ranks, even among some of her staffers, and

109
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: there was some back and forth over did Biden hand

110
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: this to her so he wouldn't have to deal with it. Generally,

111
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: in an issue like this, we'd be talking about a

112
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: difference of opinion on how to handle, as you rightly put,

113
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: a crisis. Are are they doing anything? I mean, and

114
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: I ask you that in all earnestness, what is the

115
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: federal government from the White House down doing to stop

116
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: this massive, unprecedented flow of illegals. Well, they're not. And

117
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: the reason it was three decisions made by the Biden

118
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: administration and the opening weeks that caused this crisis. Number One,

119
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: the first week in office, Joe Biden immediately halted construction

120
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: of the border wall. Number two, he reinstated the failed

121
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: policy of catch and release, and number three, most indefensively,

122
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: he ended the very very successful Remain in Mexico International Agreement.

123
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: That was an agreement President Trump had negotiated with the

124
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: government of Mexico that people who crossed illegally into Mexico

125
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: would remain in Mexico while their US asylum cases were pending.

126
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: That was an historic agreement, and it resulted in last

127
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: year we had the lowest rate of illegal immigration in

128
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: forty five years. It was an incredible success. Biden ripped

129
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: it to shreds, and it caused this massive deluzia of

130
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: illegal immigration. Now here's the problem that Biden and Harris have.

131
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: They're unwilling to change any of those three policies. They

132
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: made promises to the radical open border left that they

133
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: would not enforce the laws, that they would not deport people,

134
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: that they would effectively have open borders, and politically they

135
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: are captive to the radical left. So this problem is

136
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: going to keep getting worse and worse and worse because

137
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: they won't do what's necessary to fix it. That's why

138
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is terrified to go to the border and

139
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: hasn't been there. That's why Kamala Harris for months refused

140
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: to go to the border. Then when she did, it

141
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: was really striking. She went to El Paso. El Paso

142
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: is a lovely city. It's a great city with a

143
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: lot of legal trade back and forth with Mexico, but

144
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: it's not the epicenter of the crisis. The epicenter of

145
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: the crisis is the Rio Grand Valley. The Rio Grand

146
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Valley is eight hundred miles away from El Paso. To

147
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: put that in perspective, Chicago is closer to Washington, d c.

148
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: Than El Paso is to the Rio Grand Valley. And

149
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: the reason Kamala didn't want to go to the Rio

150
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: Grand Valley is if she'd gone there, she would have

151
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: had to see the Biden cages, kids in cages, lined

152
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: up in unsafe environments, children after children after children, and

153
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: she doesn't want the TV cameras to cover it. Their

154
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: strategy is they're counting on the media just ignoring this

155
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: problem because they're unwilling to do what it takes to

156
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: fix it. Senator Cruz, the five I think now six

157
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: Texas State House members have tested positive for COVID while

158
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: they are in Washington. How does this situation resolve itself

159
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: and what do you think of the Texas House members

160
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: fleeing your state to come to Washington, d C. And

161
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: avoid doing their jobs. Well, I think they are ridiculous.

162
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: I think they're pulling a political stunt. I think they're

163
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: pulling it badly. They're trying to call themselves, you know,

164
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: these incredible heroic civil rights protesters. In fact, they've likened

165
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: themselves to the protesters on the Edmund Pettis Bridge, which

166
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, if you ignored the billy clubs and the

167
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: dogs and the beatings and you replace them instead with

168
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: a private jet and a case of Miller light, then

169
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: then I understand their analogy. I think they're just they're

170
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: playing for the camera. They are lying about the underlying

171
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: bill in Texas. The underlying bill in Texas protects voting

172
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: rights and protects voter integrity. Uh, they're not talking about

173
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: the substance of it. They're just just engaged in dishonest

174
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: political attacks. But usked, where does this end up? Their

175
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: stunt will fail. Eventually, they will come back to Texas

176
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: when they get tired of palling around with media folks

177
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: and transmitting COVID to Democrats in the White House, in

178
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's office, They'll come back to Texas, and when

179
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: they come back to Texas, the governor has said he's

180
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: going to call special session after special session, and the

181
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: Texas Constitution is absolutely clear that the Speaker of the

182
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: House has the authority to arrest legislators who flee to

183
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 1: try to defeat a quorum, and so if they refuse

184
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 1: to go do their job when they return to Texas,

185
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: they will be arrested and physically located on the House

186
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: floor so the legislature can do its job. And I

187
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, Texas is going

188
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: to pass common sense voter integrity law that protects everyone's

189
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: right to vote, but that prevents voter fraud. Last question

190
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: for you three point five trillion dollar budget as well

191
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: as the infrastructure bill. What happens in your mind reading

192
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: the tea leaves and the votes as this process plays out,

193
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: what happens, well, it's purely part of said this is

194
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: a reckless tax and spends free. It is only the

195
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: Democrats who are pushing you get No Republicans are going

196
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: to support this irresponsible bill. We're seeing inflation rising all

197
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: over the country and the price tag for this is

198
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: going to be paid by the mental class. And the

199
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: reason it's going to be paid by the mental class.

200
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: You know, it reminds me of when they asked John Dilleger,

201
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: why do you rob banks? His answer was, well, that's

202
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: where the money is. The reason the middle class are

203
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: going to pay the bill for this massive tax and

204
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: spends free if that's where the money is. And the

205
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: Democrats are going after the middle class. They're jacking up

206
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: your taxes and every bit as bad as inflation keeps

207
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: going up and up and ups. The cost of food,

208
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: the cost of lumber, the cost of homes, the cost

209
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: of gas, everything is going up, and they keep printing money. Burr,

210
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,599
Speaker 1: the money printer keeps going. That's what we're seeing and

211
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: it is wildly irresponsible. And I can tell you I

212
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: for one of them, doing everything I can to fight

213
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: to stop it. We need to get at least one

214
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: Democrat who says stop the madness, because if they get

215
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: a party line vote, then we're going to see a

216
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: lot of damage to our economy, a lot of damage

217
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: to jobs, and a lot of damage to working families

218
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: across this country. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Senator, great

219
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: to have you on. Come back soon. Thank you, my friends.

220
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: God bless. You know, he's just talking about paying paying

221
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: the bills. Clay and a lower mortgage rate can make

222
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: it easier for folks out there to pay their bills.

223
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: They could be saving hundreds of dollars a month just

224
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: by refinancing their mortgage to a lower rate. I mean,

225
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: think of how much that can help a few hundred

226
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: extra bucks every month. But all I have to do

227
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: is pick up the phone and call American Financing. Yeah,

228
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: there's no doubt, and it's astounds me. Still buck given

229
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: how low the mortgage rates are that there aren't more

230
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: people checking on this. Think about how much difference in

231
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: your life a thousand dollars a month could make. That's

232
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars a year that you just be throwing

233
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: away because you haven't checked to see how much you

234
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: can save with a new and better mortgage. Get pre

244
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show. I'm Buck and we just talked to

245
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz at Texas. We've covered a whole bunch

246
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: of things, from NBA ratings, to the immigration crisis at

247
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: our Southern board that continues, and then the Democrats megabudget,

248
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: which is not only spending us into oblivion if they

249
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: get their way, but they are trying to just slip

250
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: through stuff in a budget bill that has nothing to

251
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: do with the budget, and that's just slimy and dishonest.

252
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: But we are talking about Democrats here. It's not a surprise,

253
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: but Dick Durban, Senator Durban, had a moment of honesty.

254
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: I thought about why it is the Democrats are and

255
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: this has been a thesis of mind all along. Not

256
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: only are they untroubled by the fact that we're setting

257
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: an all time record right now at the southern border

258
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: for people entering the country illegally, all time records being

259
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: hit last month, highest ever in one month since they've

260
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: been tracking this, you're looking at close to two million

261
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: for this year by the end of the year illegal entry.

262
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: And that's just at the southern border. That doesn't include

263
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: visa overstays, that doesn't include people coming and breaking immigration

264
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: law in other ways. So Dick Durban, though, kind of

265
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: gives away the game here in a sense by talking

266
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: about well changing the rapidly changing demographics at this moment

267
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: of a de facto open border. So there's no argument

268
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: for changing election and voting laws based on fraud. There

269
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: certainly is no argument when it comes to the outcome

270
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: of the election that was clear and it has been

271
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: to everyone except one former president for a long time.

272
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: And yet the Republicans win in control of state legislatures,

273
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: are by design trying to make it more difficult for

274
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: some people to vote. Why. The answer is very simple.

275
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: The demographics of America are not on the side of

276
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. The new voters in this country are

277
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: moving away from them, away from Donald Trump, away from

278
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: their party creed that they preach onstead They're moving to

279
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: be independence or at even vote on the other side.

280
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: To argue and fight against that. The Republicans and legislative

281
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: settings are reducing and restricting the opportunity to vote. That's

282
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: what it's all about. New voters, Clay, like what you'd

283
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: have with a massive amnesty which they're trying to get

284
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: through in this bill of five million people. By the way,

285
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: what's fascinating about this too, is he's not even right.

286
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: The reason why Trump lost support in the twenty twenty

287
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: election was white people. He increased Hispanic support by ten percent,

288
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: he increased Asian support, he increased black support. Trump got

289
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: way more votes in twenty twenty because overwhelmingly minority voters

290
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: did not buy into the Democratic mantra of everything is racist,

291
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: and this is we know. This data, by the way,

292
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: is out there in Pew research. And he increased all

293
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: of this minority support despite the fact that he was

294
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: being bludgeoned over the head with COVID. But if only

295
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: he had held more white suburban support, this election would

296
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: not have been remotely close. And so I don't buy

297
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: into the argument that he is even making. I think

298
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: the reason why these legislatures are taking action is because

299
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: and this is straightforward and transparent, it's clear, but I

300
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: think we need to keep repeating it because the rules

301
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: were changed because of COVID in twenty twenty, and what

302
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: we are now trying to do is make certain that

303
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: we don't codify those rule changes forever to allow more

304
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: voter fraud through absentee ballot, through vote harvesting, all of

305
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: these different things which have been proven to be less

306
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: reliable than people voting in person. Speaking of rules and

307
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: how they're applied, Clay, let's get into some of what

308
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: we're seeing from the so called January sixth insurrection prosecutions

309
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: versus some other prosecutions that are underway. But we'll have

310
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: to get to that in a minute. That will be insane,

311
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: not for our audience, but I think actually look at

312
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: like crimes and the way they're being treated, that doesn't

313
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: help the legitimacy of these prosecutions. After taking relief Factor

314
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: for three weeks, at least ninety percent of my pain's gone.

315
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: That's according to Brian in Alabama. My pain had begun

316
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: to limit my mobility and my ability to get things

317
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: done at work and at home. I'm amazed at relief

318
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: I've gotten. I should have started taking relief Factor a

319
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: year ago when I first heard about it. That is

320
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: Brian and Alabama and I tell you my wife takes

Speaker 1: we know a lot of you running around all day.

340
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: We just had Senator Ted Cruise on. You're listening in

Speaker 1: the first hour, second hour, you might miss that. Heck,

342
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: if you're getting in your car right now, you might

343
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: have missed him already and be thinking, Hey, I'd like

344
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: to hear that conversation. A lot of people want to react.

345
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: We have not taken hardly any call so far today.

346
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: We always want to thank you guys for diving in

347
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: and be in there. We're gonna take some of your

348
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: calls now. We'll start with Tina in Rockford, Illinois. What

349
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: have you got for is Tina? Hi? How are you

350
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: a good? Great? Hey? I wanted to really talk about

351
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: the open southern border, and I know that's a big

352
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: conversation right now, but we're importing. You know, there's COVID

353
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: that we're importing all over the country right now, and

354
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: we're concerned supposedly about the delta variant unless it's coming

355
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: in this way. I mean, let's face it, if you

356
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, if you get tested and your COVID positive,

357
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: you've already exposed a bunch of people around you. They

358
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: are now being flown and transported all over the country.

359
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: But I'm even more concerned that if the immigrants are

360
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: escaping our socialism socialist country from Cuba, we don't want

361
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: those immigrants to come across our border. We don't want

362
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: them coming by sea where you want to send them back.

363
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: So why isn't there like a more truthful conversation going

364
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: on about excellent point? I mean, for this is book.

365
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: I feel like you probably might have guessed that I

366
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: would be all over this. I think it's a fantastic

367
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: point because this goes right to what we were just discussing,

368
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: which is that the Democrats view illegal immigration. They have

369
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: an amnesty inserted in the current budget bill. This is

370
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: not some far off conspiracy theory. They view the open

371
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: border and the US Mexico border as future Democrat voters,

372
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: or at least the children of those coming across the

373
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: border will be future Democrat voters. Cubans, why there, They

374
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 1: are legitimate asylum seekers who are facing political repression right now.

375
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: Cubans who would take to the sea to get to

376
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: Florida or get the US however they can are really

377
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: the definition of asylum seekers, and the Democrats don't want them. Clay,

378
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Why Because the Democrats don't think the Cuban refugees are

379
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: gonna say, yeah, we want to be Democrats socialist in America. Now,

380
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: that's why it's blatant hypocrisy too. And this is what

381
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: I think. And thank you for the call, by the way, Tina,

382
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: because you really hit at it yourself. A lot of

383
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: smart listeners out there. But this is the essence of

384
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: why so many people get turned off of politics. Buck

385
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: The clip that we played of Democrats all reacting to

386
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: voting machine issues that I would encourage you guys to

387
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: go check out. I tweeted it out at Clay Travis.

388
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 1: All permissible, right, the Democrats could ridicule the sanctity of

389
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: our elections in the wake of twenty sixteen, four years

390
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: of Russia collusion. Stacy Abrams becomes one of their heroes

391
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: by refusing to acknowledge and concede that she had lost.

392
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,199
Speaker 1: And all of that does not have any impact on

393
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: democracy at all. But the moment questions get asked about

394
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election and the mechanism by which we

395
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: chose our president, it is suddenly underpinning and questioning the

396
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: legitimacy of the democracy. It's the worst moment, according to

397
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, since the biggest threat to the country since

398
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: the Civil War. But they were saying all the same things,

399
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: which is and again I go back to Florida here

400
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: Buck speaking of Cuba, where a lot of those Cuban

401
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: Americans would end up. Florida got voting system fixed after

402
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: two thousand. It was a mess. Look at what happened

403
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty election. Within a few hours of

404
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: their polls closing, Florida had their votes out. Everybody knew

405
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: exactly what it was. Does anybody really think it's helpful

406
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: to have Arizona and Nevada and Georgia and Pennsylvania and

407
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and Michigan and all these states counting for weeks

408
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: to try to figure out who won. Now it goes

409
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: to you in judicial proceedings, there's recusal, right, because it's

410
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: not just about whether there is corruption, it's about the

411
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: perception that's exactly corruption. And when you have elections where

412
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: people take weeks and weeks after everyone's cast their votes,

413
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: people get more concerned. There is a legitimate need to

414
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: protect our belief in elections as having integrity, on top

415
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: of taking the actual measures, which I would note Democrats

416
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: uniformly opposed. If it makes it harder to cheat. Democrats

417
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: don't like it. There's a reason for that, my friends.

418
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: We shouldn't be surprised at all when we when we

419
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: see these things playing out in front of us. John

420
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: in Sacramento, California. John, you're on the Clay Travis and

421
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, Shay, how are you doing there? We're good.

422
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: I want to first of all, it's awesome to finally

423
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: get onto this show. And I want to just say

424
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: one to really miss Rush Limbaugh and um from my

425
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: condolences to him and his family. H And for you guys,

426
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: you guys are awesome, you know, filling in and just

427
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: taking it and by the reins and moving forward. But

428
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: we appreciate that. Thank you here, Sagan, we just appreciate that.

429
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: Thank you, Yes, sir, um. So, my thing is this

430
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: right here, as you know, this past week, the whole

431
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: thing with Facebook and Biden coming out and saying that,

432
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: with the whole thing about the coronavirus and you know,

433
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: all this misinformation everything he's saying that they're killing people.

434
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: They're killing people. Well, don't you think it's the same

435
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: thing down at the border that the more people they

436
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: are led into the country and they're not going down

437
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: there and doing anything about it. He's actually responsible and

438
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: is basically killing people. They thought about that way, you know, well, Biden, Yet,

439
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: first of all, good call, thank you for what you said.

440
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: Biden tried to walk back the Facebook is killing people

441
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: argument after making it over the weekend. Well, he meant

442
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: that they're the misinformation that people put on Facebook is

443
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 1: killing people. But he was saying he doesn't really blame Facebook.

444
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: But also this goes to our point about how the

445
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: White House is being pretty forceful about how they expect

446
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: big Tech to do their bidding. If you just look

447
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: at a lot of the staffing decisions in this White House,

448
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: Clay and this Bide administration, and the connections that people

449
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: have to you know, board seats and stockholdings and all

450
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: these things you find out really quickly. Oh, big Tech

451
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: and this White House are intertwined in ways that should

452
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: make every American deeply uneasy. Yeah, And to his point,

453
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: I do think that the COVID crisis on the border

454
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: in general. I know it's been played and used a lot.

455
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: COVID is what is killing people, right, and people are

456
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: dying with COVID. But what you need to have is

457
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: consistent policies and if you're saying, because of the delta variant,

458
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: we're not going to allow kids to go to school

459
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: without wearing masks. And if there are still arguments about

460
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: what exactly people are going to be able to do,

461
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: then I think that there is a really strong argument

462
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: that border security should be tied to COVID because if

463
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: you are allowing in people who are COVID positive, you

464
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: are going to permit COVID to spread more in the country.

465
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why we shut down the borders. And

466
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: remember what the first thing what was said when Trump

467
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: shut down the border with China was what this is xenophobic,

468
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: it's racist, It's unbelievable that the president would take this action.

469
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: That's why we shut down flights to Europe when Italy

470
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: started to have all of its issues. And so yes,

471
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: I mean truly believe in COVID as that this unbelievable

472
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: existential threat to the country, then the least you could

473
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: do is shut down the southern border and not allow

474
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: COVID positive people in. They were doing Title forty two

475
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: expulsions at the border where they would say, sorry, because

476
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: of the pandemic authority that we have, you know, you

477
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: can't come in you got to go back. But they've

478
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: decided that there they've changed. I mean Ted cruse Enator

479
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: Cruz as he was on before, said that there have

480
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: been clear decisions made by this administration to undo the

481
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: border security gains of the past. And we're trying to

482
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: illustrate here, Clay and I are trying to illustrate how

483
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: this all comes down to what benefits the Democrat voter

484
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: and power base. That's there's no principle. It's not about

485
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: national sovereignty, it's not about any of you know, the

486
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: things that we'd like to talk about when we look

487
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: at our border and its security. Does the current situation

488
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: make Democrats more powerful over the long term politically, Since

489
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: the answer is yes, everything else for them is kind

490
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: of irrelevant. But we do have a Jim Jordan on

491
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: the January sixth Commission that I'm hoping we can get

492
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,959
Speaker 1: to admitter here Clay. Plus, we got some calls. I mean,

493
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: we never have enough time, man, that's the thing. We

494
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: never have enough time on this show. But you do

495
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: have time to save some really good money because these days,

496
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: well you can save money, you can also save your privacy.

497
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: And so what I want to do is make sure

498
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: that you're doing everything possible that when you surf the

499
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: Internet and you turn on incognito mode in your browser,

500
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: you're not actually safe. We're supposed to trust big tech

501
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: with solutions to our online privacy, but that's not correct.

502
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what browser mode you use or how

503
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: often you clear your browsing history. Your Internet service provider

504
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,239
Speaker 1: can see every single website you've ever visited, and they

505
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: can even sell your data to advertisers. That's why Clan

506
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: I use Express VPN to keep our data secure. In

00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: is about going after President Trump? You know, I mean

526
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 1: the Democrats. They don't want to talk about anything else.

527
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: They gotta talk about this. They don't want to talk

528
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: about the crime. It's gone up in every major Armian

529
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to talk about the crisis in

530
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: the order. They don't want to talk about the price

531
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: back from the price of everything is gone at the

532
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: price of eggs went out, the price and nulves went off,

533
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: the price of lumbers went up, the price of an

534
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: airline tickets up, the price of the USKA, everything's going up.

535
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: They don't talk about all that, So they got to

536
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: talk about, Oh, how we're gonna go after President Trump

537
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: for the third time. Welcome back to the Clay Travison

538
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: Buck Saxon Show. I'm Buck, and there he had Congressman

539
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan. I don't know Clay. I feel like, hopefully

540
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: you and I have both both liked the congressman. Maybe

541
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: he's a listening to the show, because it sounds like

542
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: we were talking about yesterday with they gotta they gotta

543
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: discuss the insurrection or we've been saying this for weeks

544
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: because Biden is a flop. I mean, this is not

545
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: the administration's agenda. Is all supposed to be crammed through

546
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: in this megabudget, no legislation of any real consequence in

547
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: the first year. They know they're going into rough rough

548
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: seas with this, with the midterms, and this just goes

549
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: to the continued Trump fixation, not only of the Democrat Party,

550
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: but of the Democrat aligne corporate media as well, which

551
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: is why this January sixth commission, we already had an impeachment.

552
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: We've already seen all the videos. If we had a

553
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: couple of impeachments, well, insurrection from the insurrection related this specifically,

554
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: and as I noted yesterday, I even checked with a

555
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: friend of mine is a criminal defense attorney who listens

556
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: to the show. I asked her, I said, correct me

557
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, there is I mean, I looked up

558
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: the federal statute there's a federal statute on rebellion or

559
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: insurrection that you can charge. It's very serious. You can

560
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: charge people with Not a single person from the so

561
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: called insurrection has been or I would wager, will be

562
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: charged with insurrection. I mean, if you're gonna call something

563
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: a bank robbery, Clay, don't you think you would charge robbery? Right?

564
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's well said. The reason they're not

565
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: being charged with an insurrection is because the lawyers who

566
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: are prosecuting these cases are aware they would lose yep.

567
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: And and what is happening here is there is a

568
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: desperate fixation on Trump. And you understand why we talked

569
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: earlier about CNN and how they're so untrustworthy. They've lost

570
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of their audience buck since January of

571
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: this year. Imagine whatever business you are in, Imagine if

572
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: you lost seventy five percent of your business in the

573
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,479
Speaker 1: space of a year, that would be a all hands

574
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: on deck meeting. Yeah, this would Buck show would be

575
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: the Bob and Bill Show or something. Yeah. I mean

576
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: for what we do if we lost seventy five percent

577
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: of our audience, If you lost seventy five percent of

578
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: your customer base, you'd have everybody sitting around the table

579
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: tossing ideas out and they've tried to make Tucker Carlson

580
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: the worst person the modern version of Trump. It hasn't worked,

581
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: and honestly, it's probably only helped his ratings overall because

582
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people tune in because they're like, I

583
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: can't wait to see what's gonna be said next. And

584
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: it's just a big failure. And by the way, I

585
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: just texted Jim Jordan, who I think does incredible work,

586
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to get him on the show.

587
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: Want to tell people out there who are listening, make

588
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: sure tomorrow we played earlier and I'm sure we'll play

589
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: it again tomorrow. As a part of this, Rampaul Senator

590
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 1: Rampaul is going to join us and we're gonna be

591
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: discussing some of the dishonesty that is occurring at a

592
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: high rate. Even in Washington, DC, a city built on

593
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: a hot air, there's an unprecedented amount of hot air.

594
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: I think that's blowing right now. And I also wanted

595
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: to throw this out there for everybody, just just a

596
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a compare and contrast. Here, we've got

597
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: the Insurrection and people being held in solitary for months

598
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: who committed no violent crime nor were in process of

599
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: a violent crime because of their role on January sixth. Meanwhile,

600
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,479
Speaker 1: you have here in New York City, Clay. You had

601
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: two Ivy League educated lawyers. Everyone remember this one back

602
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: during it There was a year ago, back during the

603
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: actual insurrection on the streets of America with BLM who

604
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: firebombed a police cruiser with a Molotov cocktail, notably a

605
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 1: weapon of war, folks, because it's named for Molotov by

606
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: the Finns who were fighting against the Soviet invasion of

607
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: their country during World War Two. But I would just

608
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: note that these two Clay are on video bombing the car,

609
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: firebombing the car. There are police officers who saw them

610
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: do it, and yet they're taking this to trial. They're

611
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: not taking a plea, almost like maybe they think because

612
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 1: they were BLM activists, they're going to get off. A

613
00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: jury won't convictim. And these are high end, well educated

614
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: lawyers that were I mean, I remember reading this story

615
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: and being just in disbelief that anybody could be this crazy.

616
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: And that's the temperature of the country at the time

617
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: that this was all going on. But you got guys

618
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 1: who went in and took a picture in the Capital

619
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: that are going away to jail for nearly a year

620
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 1: and not out on parole or not out on bail.

621
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: This is crazy. I mean both defendants, according to free

622
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 1: Beacon here face seven felony charges, civil disorder, arson, conspiracy,

623
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: and a federal explosives charge. You take, as as you

624
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: well know Clay working on the investigative side, and you

625
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: know from the just the lawyer's side, you take a

626
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: deal when you're facing those kinds of charges. The only

627
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: way they rolling the dice is because they have top lawyers,

628
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: the number one defense lawyer in some people's minds in

629
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: New York City taking up the case. I'm sure pro

630
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: bono two by the way, because bl look, I don't

631
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: have a problem with that, but it is funny to

632
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: think about the way that that is being compared to

633
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,360
Speaker 1: anybody who was representing Trump. I mean, Jude Giuliani just

634
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: lost his law license at least as it suspended. And

635
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think they are going to

636
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: throw themselves on the mercy of a woke jury and

637
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: argue that they were fighting the man and they were

638
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: trying to stand up, just like all these ridiculous protests

639
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 1: that were okay as long as the protest was going

640
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: on surrounding BLM, but nobody else could be out And

641
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 1: about one juror who thinks BLM hashtags and black squares

642
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: on Instagram is more important than law and order And

643
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: guess what they're gonna walk. So we'll continue. I for

644
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: that that trial comes up in the fall. But I

645
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: just know they're not taking a deal, was the story
