1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Ok about getting an hour number two Clay Travis buck 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: Sexton show. We'relling through the Thursday edition of the program. 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: We might need to talk about this in a little bit. 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: This is pretty wild. There are reports out there, and 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: I just sent this to Buck because I'm just reading 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: it myself. And this has come up in the last 7 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: thirty minutes or so the New York Post. Buck is 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: reporting that at a fundraiser in New York City the 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: billionaire's No Surprise House, Joe Biden repeated his statements, and 10 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: he was talking about why he decided to run. You know, 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: he's telling the very fine people why he's been telling 12 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: this story for a long time, about why he decided 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 1: to run for president. He told that entire story, according 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: to the report, and then a couple of minutes later, 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: came back and told the entire story all over again, 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: as if he had not told it the first time again. 17 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: This New York Post story that is up, that has 18 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: gone up in the last thirty minutes or so. Buck. 19 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,639 Speaker 1: I mean, anybody who has got an elderly family member, 20 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: you probably have experienced this with grandpa or grandma or 21 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: great grandpa or great grandma. The short term memory is 22 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: not what it once was. And one of the clear 23 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: signs of dementia is when you tell a story and 24 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: then seem to have completely forgotten that you told the 25 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: story and tell it all over again. And that is 26 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: the report that is out there from the New York 27 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,919 Speaker 1: Post about this fundraiser Wednesday night in New York City 28 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: at a billionaire's house. This is why Buck I just 29 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: keep coming back to. I don't see any way that 30 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: they can hide Biden from the reality of his deteriorating 31 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: mental status. Now you can say, look at Fetterman, They're 32 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: not going to care. Democrats will vote for him anyway. 33 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: I think when seventy five percent of people don't think 34 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: he has the mental or physical ability to be president, 35 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: there is going to be and I don't claim to 36 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: know what it is. He's already fallen on the stage 37 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: at Air Force They had to change the steps on 38 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: Air Force one to try to keep him from falling 39 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: down the stairs, going up and down the stairs, as 40 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: has already happened. He may have an awful fall in 41 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: the White House trip fall, break his arm. We know 42 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell has had this happen, where Mitch McConnell fell 43 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: and had a concussion. But I think there's going to 44 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: be a public event, and I don't claim to know 45 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: when it is, But if we're sitting here in mid 46 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: to late September and we know it's fourteen months until 47 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: the election, I think Biden is going to have an 48 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: incident like Mitch McConnell had where he freezes in front 49 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: of the cameras. Where he's going to have an incident. 50 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: Something is going to happen. Buck, that is so bad. 51 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be considered reckless for him 52 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: to run. And let me just say this, that's one 53 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: thing to say, like, you're John Fetterman is not able 54 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: to do the job of a United States Senator, But 55 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: the reality is as one of a hundred United States Senators, 56 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: while his power is substantial, it's not, hey, what do 57 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: we do if China invades Taiwan level substantial. He's not 58 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: even a governor where he's got executive authority that matters. 59 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: He's not really much of a decision maker. I think 60 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: when I see the story, I mean, that's pretty crazy, Buck, 61 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: to be up in front of that high end of 62 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: an audience and not realize the story. I'm sure you 63 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: saw the video also of Biden, it appeared that he 64 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: forgot to shake the hands of Brazil's president. Did you 65 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: see the way he like, guy can't get off stages now. 66 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: He waved to the media, but the Brazilian president is 67 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: standing there like clearly waiting for him to shake his hand. 68 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: He could have really made it a show. You know 69 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: how sometimes you ever see athletes when like you get 70 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: caught like giving a fist pound or giving a high five, 71 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: you now will give it to yourself, like, you know, 72 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: kind of give yourself a high five or give yourself 73 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: a fist pound. It's kind of funny. The Brazilian president 74 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: could have done that and really drawn a lot of 75 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: attention to it. But this is scary. This is getting 76 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: to the point where it's beyond scary, and I think 77 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: moved firmly into total recklessness that this guy is in 78 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: any way in the position that he is. 79 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I think we're definitely at that point of recklessness. 80 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 2: Not much is clear. I just don't know if it 81 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: really changes. I mean, I can tell you what they're 82 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: gonna say. They're gonna say, oh, you know, Joe is 83 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 2: he's tired. He's done so many of these things. He's 84 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 2: I just don't I don't see how based upon a gaff. 85 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: You have to remember, Joe Biden's whole career is built 86 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: on gaffs. Joe Biden's whole I mean, and that's way 87 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: before he was somebody where senility and dementia were even considerations. 88 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: And we have effectively been told this whole time that 89 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: Joe Biden is a guy who sometimes goes off into 90 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: never never Land and says some weird stuff and that's 91 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: just good old job and Joe. Now it's obviously gotten worse. 92 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: It's more apparent people can see what's going on and 93 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 2: understand this. But I mean, you know, Clay, I just 94 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: so what happens, right, I Mean we've always said there's 95 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: the possibility that Biden, for true health reasons, would have 96 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: to step down and they would just rally behind Kamala. 97 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: I mean, that's why you have a vice president. That's 98 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: true of any president. So that is possible. But short 99 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: of something like that, I just don't think they really 100 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: have options here. I don't think they really have another 101 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: way to go, do you know what I mean? Yeah, 102 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: I mean I understand, I understand that argument. I just 103 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: this is their fear right, This is deep down the 104 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: Democrat fear. It is that Joe Biden becomes And this 105 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: is why the timing, this is why last week was 106 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: so important, Buck, because they know, keep this in mind, 107 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: this is so important for everybody out there. We only 108 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 2: have access to Joe Biden for like two percent of 109 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 2: the day, right, They keep him out of the public 110 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: eye for like all but two percent of the day. 111 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: Imagine how bad he is behind closed doors. You asked 112 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: the question, you know, and we said, hey, James Clyburn 113 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: could move. You'll really know that people are making the 114 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: move to move on from Joe Biden. Buck, when suddenly 115 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: all of these stories which are one hundred percent certainly 116 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: happening about Joe Biden's mental problems start to come out 117 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 2: in the news. Because you know, if just based off 118 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: the two percent of the day that we see Joe Biden, Buck, 119 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 2: if we see him fall down coming down on the stairs, 120 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 2: if we see him fall trip and fall on the stage, 121 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: if we see him try to talk to a dead congresswoman, 122 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: if we see him now in this fundraiser, tell the 123 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: exact same story. A couple of minutes apart, we're only 124 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: seeing two percent of public Joe Biden and they hide 125 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,559 Speaker 2: him off at the beach. Imagine what Joe Biden has seen. 126 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: And honestly, that is indefensible because imagine what she has 127 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: seen as the wife of Joe Biden, and what she's 128 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: heard him say, and what that would do if you knew, 129 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: if every single person listening to us right now knew 130 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: what Jill Biden knew, there is a zero percent chance 131 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden, I believe, would still be the President 132 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: of the United States. Like I'm sure she has seen 133 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: and heard Joe Biden do so many dementia riddled things 134 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: that it is like terrifying to con plate that he's 135 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: making choices. I look, I agree with you, and I 136 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: think I think the entirety of the audience agrees with you. 137 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: I just look at this as yet here he is. 138 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: He is the president. He's showed no indications that he's 139 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: going to step down. There was an op ed in 140 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: the New York Times a few days a few days ago. 141 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: I forget who the author was that was effectively saying, 142 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: the chance that Joe Biden is going to walk away 143 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: from this is like Zeroka. Like Joe Biden, my whole 144 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 2: life is about power, there's no way all of a 145 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: sudden he's gonna say he's. 146 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: Got the most Yeah, the upmost power. He's not gonna 147 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: give it up. 148 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not about to walk away from the President's Okay, 149 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 2: that's not going to happen. And I also think right 150 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 2: now it's easy for us in a in a primary mindset, 151 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: well we're kind of not in a primary mindset, but 152 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: we're still in the midst of a primary to look 153 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: over at Joe Biden and say he's so senile, this 154 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 2: is so ridiculous. He can't hand, you know, he can't 155 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 2: do anything. And what they're gonna say, what the ads 156 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: are going to sound like on this is Donald Trump's 157 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: basically Biden's age. And now we can say, as people 158 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: that like trumpet voted for Trump. Oh, but he's so 159 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: much more cognitively there and with it and so much more. Yeah, 160 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: all true. He certainly also looks he looks, you know, 161 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: ten or fifteen years younger than by it. But let's 162 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 2: put that aside. That's gonna nullify a lot of this. 163 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: I think for people, they're gonna say, you got two really, 164 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: you know, because the polls say that a lot of 165 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: people feel they're both too old now. Trump true believers 166 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: don't feel that way. The Republican base doesn't feel that way. 167 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 2: But I think Democrats are willing to roll the dice 168 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 2: on independent voters and say, you know, one guy's eighty two, 169 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 2: one guy seventy eight, this is what the people want, 170 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 2: Let's see who wins. I mean, I look, I always 171 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: leave opened the possibility that I could be totally wrong 172 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: on this, and there's some master scheme in the background 173 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: that they're I just I just don't see him. 174 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: Man. 175 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 1: I think this is where they're They're gonna run with 176 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: it no matter what. Here's where I just I can't believe. 177 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: If I I am Jared paulis right Polis, the governor 178 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: of Colorado, who, as Democrats go, seems to be fairly reasonable. 179 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: If I am Gretchen Witmer, and I am nakedly ambitious, 180 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: and I am already tapped out right, I'm governor second term, 181 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: and I know that I would not be first tier 182 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: necessarily in twenty twenty eight. When everybody decides that they 183 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: want to run for president, why wouldn't you run? Honestly, 184 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: if I were the governor of Colorado right now, why 185 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: do they have some great loyalty to Joe Biden. I 186 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: think it's easier. This is my argument. I could be 187 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: totally wrong, but just think about it. Think about it. 188 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: If your goal was to be president of the United States, 189 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: what is easier running against Kamala Harris, which you would 190 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: have to do in twenty twenty eight, a black woman 191 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: in an identity politics riddled Democrat Party. If you're a 192 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: white guy, or even if you're a white woman, or 193 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: running against old white guy Joe Biden, and saying the 194 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: election is too important to leave it to an eighty 195 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: two year old. Republicans are running Donald Trump. Democrats need 196 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: to put forward a younger alternative to Trump and a 197 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: guy who can serve two terms. I don't understand why 198 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: those guys. If I were the governor of Colorado right 199 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: now and I was a Democrat, why do I care 200 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: what the party thinks about me? I'm somewhat general. 201 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: You got to look at this from the other side, though, 202 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 2: Look at what the Republican Party is doing. Our guy 203 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: seventy eight, you can only serve one term, and he's up, 204 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 2: you know, fifty points in the polls. So that the 205 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 2: argument that that argument would make against Biden hasn't compelled 206 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 2: the Republicans not to make it, and I think that 207 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 2: that affects the way this goes well. 208 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: I think the difference is Republicans actually like Trump, and 209 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: I understand some of you are like, I hate trumg. 210 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: The Trump has been very popular with Republicans. Joe Biden's 211 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: an accidental president. If you look at the polling, seventy 212 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: five percent of Democrats don't want Joe Biden to be 213 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: the nominee. Why if your goal is to be president 214 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: of the United States and you are sitting right now 215 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: and you're the governor of Colorado, you're the governor of Michigan, 216 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: now's the time to go. 217 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 2: If all this is true, why haven't they Why hasn't 218 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: it changed this fundamental question? 219 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: Here's where I wonder am I crazy? And I think 220 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: everybody out there every now and then you should ask yourself, 221 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 1: are you crazy? What am I missing? Like? The calculus 222 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: is so clear to me that if you are a 223 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: somewhat successful Democrat governor right now and you want to 224 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: be president of the United States, you are never going 225 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: to have a better chance. You get in the ring 226 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: against Joe Biden. Basically, one on one, you got Maryann Williamson. 227 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 1: You got RFK Junior, Okay, but they're not traditional cam 228 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: It's it's a probability game, right. If there are twenty 229 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 1: five people who are running, any one individual candidate has 230 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: what a four percent chance. Now, everybody's got different percentages 231 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: and everything else. But it's harder to knock your way 232 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: through a twenty five person field, and especially get through 233 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and the white the whole identity politics, black woman, 234 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: she's the next person up. But if you take on 235 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, you could be the guy. Like if I 236 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: were the governor of Colorado right now and I were 237 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: a Democrat, I would announce that I would go right 238 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: after Joe Biden. What do you care? 239 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 2: Because what are you whining? You're undermining a sitting Democratic president. 240 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: That's not so. I don't care. 241 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 2: RFK Junior tried and that guy, you know, no one 242 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 2: even hears what he has to say anymore these days. 243 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: I'm just being honest. I mean, it's just. 244 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: You're already the governor. If you lose to Joe Biden, 245 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: you're not the president. You're not the president anyway. Like 246 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: I I think I have a higher risk tolerance than 247 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: most people. Let's be honest, I probably do. But also, 248 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: if you already have something, you're not even risking anything. 249 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: How do you we talk all the time who loses 250 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: from running for president? You might upset a few people, 251 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: but most people are going to agree with you. I 252 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: just I see this as a no brainer. As all 253 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: of these Biden gaffes keep compounding, and I agree with you, Buck, 254 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: I think there's no way Biden's going to step down 255 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: to beat that. You got to knock the king out 256 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: to be the king, you got to beat the king. 257 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 2: Nobody on the Democrat side is just going to decide 258 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: to do that. 259 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: Just what a bunch of pussy willows they all are. 260 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 2: I mean, they got a president and they want them 261 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: to do four more years. I don't know they view 262 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: this as just a raw exercise of power, I don't think, 263 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 2: and and going up against an incumbent from your own party. 264 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: And the truth is most the people that were excited 265 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: about RFK Junior were Republicans. Okay, so that's why that 266 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 2: didn't get very far in the Democrat Party. But anyway, 267 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 2: we can come back to this, what do y'all think 268 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: eight hundred two A two to two eight A two 269 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 2: that all adage from Las Vegas, what happens in Vegas 270 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: stays in Vegas has proven to be untrue because of 271 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: some cyber hackers. Two casino and resort companies in Las Vegas, 272 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts, suffered data breaches earlier this 273 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: month in a big bad way. All that data may 274 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: now have left Vegas for the dark web, often the 275 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: place that this kind of stolen info goes to get 276 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: sold to cyber thieves. Think of all the social security 277 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: and drivers licensed numbers of millions of Americans potentially compromised. 278 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 2: If that's you, how do you protect yourself?

I don't even know. I'm 296 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: not a I'm not an expert on on what you 297 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: would how you would define shirts, but yes, like a 298 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: fishing shirt or something I don't don't and I am. 299 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to say I'm fine with wearing shorts whenever 300 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: one feels like wearing shorts. For those few of set 301 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: of Clay for saying shorts in the winter don't make sense, 302 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: you know you you you get to set your own temperature. 303 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: I wear he's inside now sometimes because I'm a fluorid 304 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: and I have no ability to regulate my body temperature 305 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: like I used to, so. 306 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: I will throw down. Guy who wears shorts when it's 307 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty degrees outside is trying too hard, all right, 308 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: just maybe wear pants like maybe he just likes the 309 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: fresh air. 310 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: I don't know why you got to give it such 311 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: a hard time, But point being Clay, that we have 312 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 2: a defector from the Democrats side, Dick Durbin. Senator Durbin 313 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 2: has said that he agrees right. He agrees with the 314 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, would agree with the decision to keep the 315 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: dress code in place. He disagrees with removing the dress code. 316 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: I saw a good question. I would like to give 317 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 2: credit to whoever said it. I think maybe Glennon Beck 318 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 2: said for two hundred years we have a dress code 319 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: in place, and suddenly Fetterman is so incredible as a 320 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 2: senator that we need to change two hundred years of 321 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: tradition so that he can be in shorts and a 322 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 2: hoodie presiding over the Senate. 323 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: I think that's well said. I think there should be 324 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: a vote. I think Senator should vote on this.

Click on the radio listener 341 00:18:48,200 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: special square code Clay and Buck. Do it today talking 342 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: about the Bidens situation in generally as there are reports 343 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: that he repeated himself with very detailed storytelling within a 344 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: couple of minutes of each other. And obviously yesterday Merrick 345 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: Garland was testifying there's a new poll out buck from 346 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: Yahoo News slash YouGov. So this is not Republicans are 347 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: awesome dot com or Democrats are awesome dot com polling? Right, 348 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 1: Just I think their idea is this is relatively a 349 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: nonpartisan entity with Yahoo and YouGov. Here's something interesting that 350 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: I actually am encouraged by. Forty eight percent of Americans 351 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: now say the President did something illegal regarding Hunter Biden, 352 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: while just thirty one percent say he didn't. Twenty one 353 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: percent say they aren't sure. That's a big plus seventeen 354 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: on whether the President did something illegal with Joe Biden, 355 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: eighty five percent, by the way of Republicans, fifty four 356 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: percent of independence believe it. Sixty four percent of Democrats 357 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: say he did nothing unlawful. Forty one percent of Americans 358 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 1: say Biden was involved in Hunter Biden's business, only thirty 359 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: one percent say he was not. Forty three percent say 360 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden made money off Hunter, while twenty eight percent 361 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: said he didn't. And again, these are a lot of numbers, 362 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: but these are all very bad for Joe Biden. Forty 363 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: seven percent of Americans said Joe Biden and his family 364 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: are corrupt. Only thirty three percent said Biden's family is 365 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: not corrupt. Why do I share all these numbers? It 366 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: can be frustrating. It sometimes takes a long time for 367 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: majorities to reach a conclusion that many of you out 368 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: there listening to us reached a long time ago, but 369 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people still don't have an opinion. If 370 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: impeachment happens, and more and more media are forced to 371 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 1: cover the Joe and Hunter Biden collusion, I believe of 372 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: a criminal nature. I think that also starts to really 373 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: add body blows to Joe Biden's ability to run in 374 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Buck These are big numbers, and this 375 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: also starts to put Democrat media. We're gonna talk about 376 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: the Washington Post and how dishonest they are at the 377 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: top of the next hour with a story that's gone viral. 378 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: But suddenly the Washington Post and the New York Times 379 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: they're not as comfortable carrying water for Joe Biden when 380 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: they're in the substantial minority arguing that there's nothing to 381 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: see here. So these numbers, again, this is Yahoo and 382 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: you Gov just came out. You've seen CNN start to 383 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: talk about it. I think Joe Biden is in trouble 384 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: over the Hunter Biden connection politically for sure, and I 385 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: think this is only going to grow. 386 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: It's clearly a problem, but it all has to be 387 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: put in the context of, Okay, what happens now it's 388 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 2: a problem, But we have to put this in the 389 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: context of what is the pitch going to be about 390 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 2: why you should vote for Biden over Donald Trump. They're 391 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: going to there's not going to be a criminal conviction. Okay, 392 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: that that's for sure of Joe Biden. That's not happening. 393 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 2: First of all, he's president. I don't think they could 394 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 2: if they wanted to. But no one's bringing in indictment 395 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 2: against against Joe Biden. His son is obviously under indictment 396 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 2: for the gun charge stuff. They're just going to say 397 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 2: that that has and that actually does have nothing to 398 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 2: do with Joe Biden. Those charges have nothing to do 399 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 2: with Joe Biden. So they're going to try to create 400 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 2: this wall of separation. You're saying, Okay, they're going to 401 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: unveil all this stuff in the House hearings, which is true, 402 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: will do that, But what are the Democrats going to 403 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 2: say about everything that comes out of those House hearings. 404 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: They're going to say this his part is in. This 405 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 2: is just to take away from the indictments against Trump 406 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 2: and all this sort of thing. So, look, is it 407 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 2: gonna hurt, Yeah, But is it going to make a difference? 408 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 2: Is really the question, right, does it hurt? 409 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: Yes? 410 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 2: Does it look bad for Joe Biden for sure? Is 411 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 2: it bad enough that it will almost certainly cost him 412 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 2: the election? I wouldn't go that far, not based on 413 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: what we're seeing. First of all, the polls don't reflect 414 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: that right now. I mean it's you know, one or 415 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: two points Biden or Trump, depending on which pole you 416 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: look at. So you know, now you're talking about whether 417 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 2: the one percent of voters or we're going to make 418 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: the determination about who wins this upcoming election. Do they 419 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 2: care that much about this without their being more I 420 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 2: mean people are gonna say there already are smoking gun things. 421 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 422 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: But you know, unless you get Joe Biden on video 423 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 2: saying one hunter kicks back, you know, a million dollars 424 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 2: to me from China while he's vice president. By the way, 425 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 2: anything that would occur after his vice president, they'll explain 426 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,479 Speaker 2: away and say that's just DCB and DC influence pedling. 427 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: He will have to have been in office and explicitly 428 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 2: offering quid pro quo and taking money. And I don't 429 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 2: think you're gonna find that on tape. I don't think 430 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 2: they were that reckless. 431 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,360 Speaker 1: I am. Yeah, it hurts, but I'm optimistic. Again, it's 432 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: not gonna surprise anybody listening, because for a long time 433 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: I felt like talking about Joe and Hunter Biden's corruption 434 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: was like screaming at the clouds, and it was as 435 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: if nothing was happening. And then it feels to me 436 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: like you disagree with that, Like I would talk to 437 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: people and they would have no clue that Hunter Biden 438 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: was corrupt or that the rig job had happened. 439 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: I mean, I think I think people know. But I 440 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 2: also think that, you know, Hillary Clinton would have won 441 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: the twenty sixteen election where it not for Jill Stein 442 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: being a third party candidate and Hillary set up a 443 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 2: secret server and had over one hundred you know, classified 444 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 2: Espionage Act violations. That's just a matter of fact. Yeah, 445 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 2: and they did not care. People did not care. Well, 446 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: I think that's the Clinton the Clinton foundations, the Clinton 447 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 2: foundations wildly you know, gross. 448 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: And the scary thing here is that we have, in 449 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: many ways, this is where we agree. I'm optimistic we 450 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: can come through it, but we have in many ways 451 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: created a consequence free political arena, by which I mean 452 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: there are nothing, you aren't held responsible for anything. I 453 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: mean we can't even get a guy to wear pants 454 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: on the Senate floor. That we could create a situation 455 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: where Democrats got everything manifestly wrong on COVID and none 456 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 1: of them lost their jobs and many of them won 457 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: with higher majorities suggests that we are living in a 458 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: post fact world where many people make up their mind 459 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: on an issue, decide that they're on a team, and 460 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: it's just like being a sport fan, and it doesn't 461 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: matter what your team does, you will defend them to 462 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: the end of the earth. I think that's true. That's 463 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: the world that we're living in right now. When I 464 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: see data like this, I am cautiously optimistic that we 465 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: are starting to see a it register. Because I also 466 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: saw this and I flagged this on the polling in 467 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: the same way Buck. The percentages out there of people 468 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: who are trust in the government is at a seventy 469 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: year low. This is from Axios. Just sixteen percent of 470 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: Americans say they trust the government. How does that change? 471 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 1: I don't think we can go lower than sixteen percent. 472 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: I think people have to wake up, and I'm cautiously optimistic. 473 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: I understand some of you out there aren't. I'm cautiously 474 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: optimistic that people are starting to wake up and realize. 475 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of signposts out there. 476 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: The question is can it all be brought together by 477 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 1: the time we get to twenty twenty four. I think 478 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: it can. Your optimism over a year out from the election, 479 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: I will say, I'm gonna be optimistic. Here's the truth. 480 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be optimistic the day before the election. I'm 481 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: gonna be optimistic the week before the election, the month 482 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: before the because if you if I am not convinced 483 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: that we can make the world better, then I would 484 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: just be like, peace out. I'm headed to the Caribbean 485 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 1: and I will just And some people are doing that. 486 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: I was talking to a rich guy the other day 487 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: and he was I was like, what are you planning 488 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: in for the future. He's like, hey, I'm I'm getting 489 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: citizenship on like I don't know, it's like Malta or something. 490 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: He's like, I've got a great beachfront property. I think 491 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: we're all screwed. I'm just gonna go smoke cigars and 492 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: drink wine on the beach and live out the next 493 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: thirty years of my life and have a good time. 494 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, there are some people 495 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 1: out there with resources who think we're so eternally screwed. 496 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: Have you paid attention to this The number of guys 497 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: who were just buying like passports for Caribbean islands and 498 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: just saying, hey, we're done, We're thirty three trillion in debt. 499 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: This place is going to burn. I'm headed to the 500 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: beach and I'm just gonna watch it from there. There 501 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 1: are some of these people, not a. 502 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 2: Lot of these Not a lot of these people. They 503 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: get written up in stories. I don't think there's that 504 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: much of that going well. 505 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: There's not that many people rich enough to just say 506 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: peace out, right, I mean, that's a relatively small percentage 507 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: of people. And then you buy your own passport, and 508 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: then you become a citizen, and you know, one of 509 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: these one of these island Caribbean nations, and then you 510 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: just say, hey, you know, the world screwed, America is done. 511 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna have a good final thirty years. That's 512 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: what I think on some level, that's what I would do. 513 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: If I really thought that, I'd just be like, I'm done, 514 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: let's peace out, have a good life, and unfortunately, watch 515 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: the world burn, which is what Joe Biden's doing.

We have uh, David in Little Falls, Minnesota. 542 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: David, how you doing. 543 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 4: Doing good? Guys. I'll explain in sixty seconds to the 544 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 4: psychology behind your average Democrat voter. I'm sixty two. I've 545 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 4: trained horses, raised horses since I was sixteen years old. 546 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 4: There's two dynamics that work with these these individuals. Well. 547 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 4: The one thing that a horse fears more than anything 548 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 4: is being driven out of the herd. The herd animals 549 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 4: democrats or hurt animals. Regardless of the foolishness of the herd, 550 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 4: they still prefer hiding among the numbers of the herds 551 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 4: for their relative safety. The second dynamic is and it 552 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 4: can't be overlooked as a SPI factor. You know, I've 553 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 4: never met a happy liberal. They might put on a 554 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 4: good show, but they're at their coreserable and they're not 555 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 4: happy unless they can share that misery. So I came 556 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 4: up with the term called subconsciously suicidal. These are the 557 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 4: individuals that will steer the ship into the iceberg on purpose, 558 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 4: knowing it means their own demise as long as it 559 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 4: means the demise of everyone else on the ship, and 560 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 4: they'll go just the whole mentality of burn it all down. Man, 561 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 4: They'll go down with the ship as long as it 562 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 4: means taking everyone down with them. So that sums it up. 563 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 4: I know, y'all ask the question what drives these fools 564 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 4: seeing the chaos around them and still voting Democrats. Well 565 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 4: that's it. They're hurt animals, and they're subconsciously suicidal. 566 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 1: Full Okay, Clay, Yeah, Look, I think as you, as 567 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: you sort of analyze what's going on, I just come 568 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: back again and again too. From a purely rational perspective, 569 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: I don't think Democrats can rationally defend Joe Biden given 570 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: his clear mental deficiencies, and so the only thing that 571 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: makes sense is there has to be in some way 572 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: an alternative, And I just keep coming back to that, 573 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: And I don't know the process by which that plays 574 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: itself out, but I think it would require someone who 575 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: has an existing office and a decent office to be 576 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: willing to say I'll take on Joe Biden. I'm just 577 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: surprised by the fear of the Biden administration or the 578 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: Democrat Party policy power. I don't understand it, because everything 579 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: comes down to probability, and the fewer people that are 580 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: trying to win something, the better your chances are of 581 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: winning that. If you told me tomorrow I could be 582 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 1: the only person who is buying lottery tickets for a 583 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 1: three hundred million dollar lottery I would feel pretty good 584 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: about it. If you told me there were only four 585 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: people buying tickets, I would feel great about it. So 586 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: if there's only three or four people running, and you're 587 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,719 Speaker 1: by far the most reasonable of those people other than Biden, 588 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: it seems to me you would have a chance. And 589 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: and the herd mentality argument that he's making is an 590 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: interesting one, but it to me seems governed very much 591 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: by fear. And I don't know what you're afraid of. 592 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders ran an insurgent campaign, So did Trump Walt 593 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. 594 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 2: Well, those were open, right, I mean those were open 595 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 2: elections like those were in primaries. 596 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I meaning against, but against. But when Trump came 597 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: down the elevator in twenty fifteen. He was probably the 598 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: most ridiculed of all of the candidates that were deciding 599 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: to run. 600 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 2: But it was a Republican primary. It wasn't I'm going 601 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 2: to be president instead of George W. Bush who was 602 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 2: going for his second term, like that would be a comparence. 603 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, but there was. I mean, Teddy Kennedy challenged 604 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter in seventy six, right, and he killed a 605 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: woman and still made I. 606 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 2: Think this is actually going to have because we need 607 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 2: we need to stake bet this one. At this point, 608 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 2: you actually think someone's going to try to run without 609 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 2: the party behind them against Joe Biden in a way 610 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 2: that is meaningful. 611 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: Yes, I feel like somebody has all of the again, 612 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 1: all of life is about probability. 613 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 2: All right, stake bet there you go, a w It's 614 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 2: about probability. Yeah, I mean, Jay RFK Junior does not count. Okay, 615 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 2: we got to have somebody who's I get it. 616 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying Mary and Williamson and RFK Junior 617 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: are the only two people who are willing to do it. Somebody, 618 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: they have to be having meetings right now. Somebody is 619 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: talking to Gretchen Whitmer and saying, if you don't run 620 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 1: in twenty four, you're gonna be running against Kamala in 621 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 1: twenty eight, you're gonna have no chance. You're gonna run 622 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: for president thirty two. You might not be alive in 623 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: thirty two. I just I can't imagine that these conversations 624 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 1: are not taking place with Gavin Newsom, with Jared Polis, 625 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: with Gretchen Whitmer. Heck, I don't know, with Elizabeth Warren. 626 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: Somebody's got to be having meetings right now secretly talking 627 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: about how bad Biden is and whether or not now 628 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: is the time to jump in and actually challenge because 629 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: you have to do it in the next month or two. Yeah, 630 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: Walt in Pennsylvania, Walt, what do you think? 631 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 3: Hey, guys, I don't know. I would listen to you. 632 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 3: I love the show earlier and you said about letting 633 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 3: these guys come in, forcing these immigrants to come into it, 634 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 3: like states of Pennsylvania, like mine, which is more corrupt 635 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 3: than you can imagine. But why would you allow that 636 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 3: to happen when it because Shapiro just passed the law 637 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,280 Speaker 3: that he's gonna When you sign up for a driver's license, 638 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 3: you're going to be registered to vote automatically unless you 639 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 3: opt out I believe, I don't know almost specific, but 640 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 3: that's it. So right then and there, when they start 641 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,280 Speaker 3: giving a lot of these liberal states give out these drivers, 642 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 3: those licensees till legals, then they're registered to vote. 643 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 2: Correct, No, they don't register. It's it's the voter motor 644 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 2: registration law. You have to you have to be a citizen. 645 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying they couldn't do it elite. 646 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 2: You know, you couldn't try to people that mess with 647 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: the system, but it's not legal to you're not registering 648 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 2: to vote if you're not actually a citizen. 649 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: At least you're not supposed to. I think twenty three 650 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 1: states have this already, So I mean, there are a 651 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: lot of people who are citizens that are just not 652 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: registered to vote. That's the idea is most people have 653 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,479 Speaker 1: to get driver's license. But to his point, I mean, 654 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 1: twenty twenty was certainly the ultimate test case for what 655 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: can we do to get as many ballots harvested as possible? 656 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,160 Speaker 1: And if you look at Fetterman's win in twenty twenty two, 657 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: does anybody think, for instance, in Pennsylvania, that they're going 658 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 1: to be less aggressive and getting people signed up to 659 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 1: vote in twenty twenty four. Of course not, they'll probably 660 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: be more. You probably cans have to be just as aggressive.
