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 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Third hour of the Clay Travis and 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show gets going right now, everybody, thank you 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: for being with us. We had Joe Biden just address 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: the nation on the devastation in Florida and the oncoming hurricane. 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: Now the continuation of Hurricane Ian into South Carolina and 7 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: that part of the coastal southeastern US. So our thoughts 8 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: are going out to everybody who's been already affected in 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: Florida and also those who are going to be bearing 10 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: the brunt here of a less extreme but still dangerous 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: Hurricane Ian in the southeastern United States. One thing that 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: I've mentioned at the top of the program today at 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,319 Speaker 1: the first hour. If you miss it, please go check 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: out the Clay and Buck Podcast is that Russia has 15 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: now had a sham referendum effectively in a number of 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: parts of eastern and southern Ukraine, and so now they 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: are officially Russian Federation territory according to Russia. I had 18 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: thought all along, in fact, in the beginning of this conflict, 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: at the start of this year, I'd said that Russia 20 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: is just going to carve up and take parts of 21 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: Ukraine into its territory. Their question really was how much 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: I bring this up because our team was monitoring this, 23 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: and Biden spoke about what's going on right now in Ukraine, 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: and here's what he said. He's his neighbor's territory and 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: get away with it, as as simple as that. And 26 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: they're going to stay the course. You're going to continue 27 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: to provide military equipment so the Ukraine can defend itself 28 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: and this territory his freedom, including additional resources that the 29 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: Congress is going to give me to day of thirteen 30 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: billion more dollars to help the Ukrainians defend themselves and 31 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: fight back. And we're fully prepared to defend I'm going 32 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: to say this again, America is fully prepared with our 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: NATO allies defend every single inch of NATO territory, every 34 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: single inch. So mister Putin, don't misunderstand what I'm saying, 35 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: every inch. So Clay, we're sending now billions more to Ukraine. 36 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: I have never heard the president talk about what the 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: negotiated settlement. It seems like this administration has decided this 38 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: war ends when Russia loses, and they keep saying this 39 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: without ever even explaining what does that mean? Does it 40 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: mean that Russia is losing all of the territory, even 41 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: territory that had taken from Ukraine stretching back seven now 42 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: going on eight years ago. Does it mean the fall 43 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: of Putin as the leader of Russia. There seems to 44 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: be a mission creep under way here for Austin, for 45 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: our allies in Europe. That's very concerning. When Putin is 46 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: giving I mean, I could look up some of the quotes. 47 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: The speech that he just gave is scary. I mean, 48 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: it's something I mean, he says, here's the headline the BBC. 49 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: Putin raises the stakes and speech full of anti Western bile, 50 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: and he's talking about obviously the incorporation or the seizure 51 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: of this territory. He said, oh sorry, the United States, 52 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: Biden said, will never never recognize Russia's claim on Ukraine 53 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: sovereign territory. So what does that mean? Because taking this 54 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: territory back from Russia is going to take a long 55 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: time and a lot more than billions of dollars years theoretically. Now, 56 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: maybe there's just going to end up being some sort 57 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: of tacit. You know, boundaries drawn and both sides are 58 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: going to stay armed, and they'll just be some sort 59 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: of agreement on where that line is, when that would 60 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: actually happen and how it would happen, I don't know. Also, 61 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: we talked about this and it would have been a 62 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: major major story all week but for Hurricane Ian coming in. 63 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: But they're still this great who'd done it? Associated with 64 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: the nordstream pipelines and Joe Biden also discussed that just 65 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: now and said it was a deliberate act of sabotage, 66 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: which seems clear. Listen to this. It was a deliberate 67 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: act of sabotage, and now the Russians are pumping out 68 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,599 Speaker 1: disinformation lines. We're work with our allies to get to 69 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: the bottom exactly what it precisely would happened. And in 70 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: my direction, I've already begun to help our allies enhance 71 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: the protectionist critical infrastructure, and at the appropriate moment, when 72 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: things calm down, we're going to be sending divers down 73 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: to find out exactly what happened. So we don't know 74 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: that yet exactly, but we're not. Just don't listen to 75 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: what putin the sandard what he's saying. We know it's 76 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: not true. The biggest challenge, I would say, in general, 77 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: Buck is whatever your politics are. Even listening to Joe 78 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: Biden make all of those comments, he sounds like a 79 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: week and enfeebled person. And we know this week he 80 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: tried to say hi to a dead congresswoman and he 81 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: couldn't find his way off the stage multiple times. We 82 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: are dealing right now with one of the most dangerous 83 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: moments in modern global history. I think it's fair to say, 84 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: certainly in the twenty first century, in terms of the 85 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: geopolitical significance of what's going on and the danger World 86 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: War three is truly looming out there. Do you feel 87 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: at all like Biden is up to making intelligent, reasoned 88 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: decisions as it pertains to this situation at all, because 89 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't know it. And when you hear him saying 90 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: outright that we will never accept Russia's seizure of any territory. 91 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: Russia had a referendum in Crimea, what seven years ago now, 92 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: and having to go back, I mean it's been a while, 93 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: they've already they already took. So is Crimea a part 94 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: of this? Will never accept this of your creating in 95 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: territory is the dawn Bass region of eastern Ukraine part 96 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: of this as well. I mean, Putin said, in response 97 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: to a couple things. One on the pipeline blast issue, 98 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: he has accused Western elites. He gave a speech announcing 99 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: these referendum areas that are effectively the border regions of 100 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 1: eastern and southern Ukraine that now connects there's a kind 101 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: of a half moon, if you will, of Russian seas 102 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: territory that connects Crimea to the Russian Federation now by 103 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: land bridge. Because it's all it's all contiguous. So Putin 104 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: warned that Western elites are adopting outright Satanism by blaming 105 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: them for the nord blaming Russia for the Nord stream 106 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: gas pipeline blast. Everyone's saying blast, by the way, just 107 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: to be close, there's no one who's saying this stuff happens, man. 108 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: Pipeline's complicated. Everyone saying sabotage. And Putin also said that 109 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: the Unit Ided States had set a precedent in nuclear 110 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: usage by dropping atomic bombs on Japan. Now, okay, we 111 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: can keep saying this is saber rattling. We can keep saying. 112 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: You know, people are also saying pudent crazy is not 113 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: the right word to use. Malevolent, insidious, but he is 114 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: clearly a crafty individual. He You know, this is not 115 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: like North Korea where he came into into power because 116 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: of who his father was. It's effectively, as we know, 117 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: a monarchy. Um, this is a guy who made his 118 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: way to the pinnacle of power in Russia. So bad guy, yes, 119 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: crazy guy? Or remember remember the movie Speed? Remember that 120 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: kea reason that's one of my favorite I mean, The 121 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: Matrix is the best Keanu Reeves movie. You're John Wick fans. 122 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: I respect you. I like John Wick two. The Matrix 123 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: one is better than john Wick one. You can fight 124 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: with me all day on this. I'm right. Um, But 125 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: Speed was a was a fun flick. I bring it up. 126 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: That was one of her one of her best moments. 127 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: Because there's a scene with Dennis Hopper, remember Dennis Hoppers 128 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: And they say that he's seated in the crazy but 129 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: not stupid section. Putin is not even seated in the sorry. 130 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:17,239 Speaker 1: Putin is in the not crazy and not stupid section. 131 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: He's a guy who maybe seems a little bit off 132 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: to people, but he's actually very cunning, very strategic and 133 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: how he approaches things. And so that's why I mean 134 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: the usage of Putin as his figure, we can just 135 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: ignore everything, he says. Okay, but how long do we 136 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: think a war is gonna be able to grind on 137 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: where we give billions of dollars to his enemy here? 138 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: And look, we're not far away from in theory the 139 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: winter season arriving there, in which case everybody's just entrenched 140 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: and things can't move very much. Right, we're probably six 141 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: weeks eight weeks away in Europe. Remember they didn't invade 142 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: until the end of February because they had to wait 143 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: out the snow season to be able to even move. 144 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: So I think the point is well taken. How many 145 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: years potentially of trench warfare could we be dealing with here? 146 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: And at what point does Putin get frustrated enough to 147 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: basically use an accelerant here and decide that he's going 148 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: to do something that takes us to the next level 149 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: and require us to figure out and determine what our 150 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: response is going to Because what do you think, what 151 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: would we do? Let's let's play this out if he 152 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: used a localized nuke, right, not a tactical nut but 153 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: low yield nuclear weapon? Yeah, what do we do? Like? 154 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: What good options do we have? We have protocol. I mean, 155 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure you could roll out thousands of pages of 156 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: highly classified response from the Pentagon, you know, whatever levels 157 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: of the basement there they're keeping these things in. It's 158 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: actually going to be kept obviously electronically, not a hard 159 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: copy of point or actually both. Yeah, what do you 160 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: think what we would do though? I mean, like my 161 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: point is that we have doctrine, but doctrine is just 162 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: like a suggestion box. Yes, doctrine is we think we 163 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: would do this, but in the moment, it's not really clear. 164 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: And look at the leadership we have. I mean, I 165 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 1: think we have people who I know, they were always 166 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: trashing Trump, you know, and saying, oh, he's not smart, 167 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: he's not a reader, he watches too much TV. Whatever. 168 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: Trump at a gut level had brilliant political instincts, you know, 169 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: his political instincts about people were very sound, particularly about 170 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: a lot of the adversaries that we have globally. Remember 171 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: he got on all that all that media hubbub because 172 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: Trump said, look, putin what he's done. I mean, he said, genius, 173 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: sarcastically what he was talking about the Russian invasion and 174 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: he sees putin as what I was saying somebody who 175 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: is is KG. I mean, it might seem crazy to people, 176 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: but it's actually somebody who has a totally different value 177 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: system that he's approaching and a totally different strategic endpoint 178 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: that he's trying to get to. I don't I don't 179 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: know what we would do, and I don't know what 180 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: the Biden administration really thinks is going to happen here 181 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: other than the continuation of the status quo, which is 182 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: that we fund all of this stuff that's going up, 183 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: but the pipeline getting blown up. I mean, this is 184 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: an escalation one way or the other. Whether it's Russia 185 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: or anybody else, it's an escalation. And we don't ever 186 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: talk about these things as escalations. We just it's it's 187 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: almost like we're sending checks to Ukraine, you know, not 188 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: having any fighting a proxy war. We're fighting a proxy war. 189 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: And by the way, the ruble I just checked this 190 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: up up twenty eight percent so far this year, yep, 191 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: just shot just sigh of up against the dollar. It 192 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: was up even over forty percent of one. But but but 193 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: let's call it roughly thirty percent. The ruble has gone up. 194 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: Remember we were going to at the beginning of this cripple. 195 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: The people telling us now, we're not going to abandon 196 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: one inch of Ukrainian territory. By the way, way more 197 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: concerned with Ukraine's borders than America's borders. As we know, 198 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: those same people were telling us in January and February, 199 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: we're going to destroy the Russian economy and they'll bring 200 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: them to their knees and they'll stop this war. The 201 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: Rubles up thirty percent. I just don't think we have 202 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: very many good options, and I certainly don't think we 203 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: have a very good leader to hand and dissect those options. 204 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: And this is part and parcel. And I'm a huge optimist, 205 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: you know this. I think twenty twenty three is going 206 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: to be one of the most challenging years that we 207 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: have had on multifronts. Right. COVID was and everything that 208 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: it created was supremely challenging. But I'm talking about everything 209 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: that Biden is touching is getting worse. And it feels 210 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: to me like things are only going to get worse 211 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three as we come into a third 212 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: full year of Biden. And I don't know where exactly 213 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: that's going, but when you look at inflation, when you 214 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: look at the stock market, when you look at the border, 215 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: when you look at crime, and you consider what's going 216 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: on in Ukraine right now, it feels like there are 217 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: an awful lot of potential powder kegs that are about 218 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: to go off. Our government loves to spend money, you 219 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: know that, enough so that we're contending with record setting 220 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: inflation already and it's not going to win anytime soon. 221 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: That reckless spending is driving up the costs on everything 222 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: for your family. There are things you can do right 223 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: now to lower your monthly expenses and mitigate the impact 224 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: of inflation. One of them is switching your cell phone 225 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: service to Pure Talk.

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. 238 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: We're rolling towards the midpoint of the final hour. Will 239 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: be joined by Ainsley Earhardt, who's going to talk to 240 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: us about her new book here in just a few minutes. 241 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: It's gonna be in studio with us. But we are 242 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: continuing to break down, unfortunately, the situation surrounding Joe Biden. 243 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: And we just ran through all of the challenges that 244 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: face the country, in particular what's going on with Ukraine 245 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: and Russia. But do we feel like Joe Biden actually 246 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: has the cognitive ability to handle any of the challenges 247 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: that are in front of him right now. Stephen Miller, 248 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: friend of the show, has been on a bunch well. 249 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: He broke down what he would thought of Joe Biden's 250 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: health and unfortunately, I think he's right. Oh we need 251 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: to nine nine, Yes, sir, thank you, it's covin. We're 252 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: gonna get it. We were springing this on President Biden 253 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: is not cognitively present. He does not have the mental 254 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: capacity to serve as the president of the United States 255 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: of America. If he was in a nursing home, he 256 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: would be in the assisted living section, not the area 257 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: where people are in the retirement community who are living 258 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: their own lives and who are making their own decisions. 259 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: Maybe they have a little bit of help when they 260 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: need it. He would be in the round the clock 261 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: care section for someone who forgets who they are, where 262 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: they are, what they're doing, who's alive, who's dead, how 263 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: to take care of themselves. Clay, you know, they've they've 264 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: estimated that he has been on vacation in Delaware. And 265 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: I know they always say, oh, but he can work remote. Yeah, yeah, 266 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: it's the president. There's a whole place where he's supposed 267 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: to be conducting most of his business. Forty percent of 268 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: his PRESIDENCYO far. It was a number that I saw. 269 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: I haven't cabulated it myself, but forty percent in Delaware 270 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: on vacation. Well, And what's crazy, Buck is the less 271 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: he talks, the better his numbers are. Because when he 272 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: had COVID for two weeks and he went on his 273 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: long summer vacation and he kind of disappeared and he 274 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: didn't do very much people can't see how much he's deteriorated, 275 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: and it's awful. But I just keep coming back to 276 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: we're only seeing him four at most five percent of 277 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: the day, and if we can see him even in 278 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: these highly scripted, very much controlled events, unable to finish them, 279 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: imagine what's going on behind closed doors. This is why 280 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: I think he's not ultimately going to run buck, And 281 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: when he doesn't run, I think you're going to see 282 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: a deluge of stories about really scary, cognitively challenged events 283 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: and activities that Biden has been engaging in the last 284 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: few years. Forgetting where he is, forgetting who he's talking to, 285 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: talking to people who've been dead for a long time, 286 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: like he tried to do to the Congress Homan just 287 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. This is what dementia looks like. 288 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, almost everyone listening to us right now has 289 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: a friend or family member that they've seen go through this, 290 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: and he is the elderly relative at Thanksgiving or Christmas 291 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: that no longer can take care of himself. And that's 292 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: never great, But those people have never been in charge. 293 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: To your question from just a few minutes ago about 294 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: what happens if Vladimir Putin deploys a tactical nuclear weapon 295 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: in Ukraine because he feels that he's losing too much 296 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: or there Who really makes a decision about what to do? 297 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: And this is part of why I can't even begin 298 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: to know what the response would be. Do we really 299 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 1: think that the people who would run the military response 300 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: to this would look at Joe Biden to somebody who 301 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: would be able to make that kind of a absolute, 302 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: highest of stakes calculation. I don't think so. But then 303 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: who would it be? Ron Klain? Was Ronnie the staff? Yeah? Unfortunately, 304 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: I think that's probably who has to make a lot 305 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: of these calls. And then imagine, we know how much 306 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: the presidency ages everyone, even people who come in relatively 307 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: young and relatively healthy. Imagine what he's going to be like. 308 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we can It's it's crazy. Even just hearing 309 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: him talk on a day to day basis, you can 310 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: see him deteriorating. And we stalled over two years left Buck. Yeah, 311 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: it's terrifying to think about where we're gonna end up.

We had an 346 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: awesome group of people. Um and uh it's spiraled into 347 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: a Irish pub from the engagement party and uh it 348 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: was just a really fun took over in Irish pubse. 349 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: We did basically take so for people who were listening 350 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: that don't know the Irish pubs, they're everywhere. Yes, Downtown. 351 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: When I started at Fox News, there was there was 352 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: an Irish pub before it was torn down for a 353 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: parking garage. There was this one Irish pub that everyone 354 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: went to and we had it like a back room, 355 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: and that was where all the Fox people would hang out. 356 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: But those are the early years of Fox. It was 357 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: so fun the first time two thousand and seven. So 358 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: did you come when you came to Fox from way 359 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: in Antonio, Texas? So was it a culture shock for 360 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: you to suddenly be in New York City? You're like, well, 361 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm an East Coaster. I grew up in South Carolina. 362 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 1: I worked there for five years after college, then did 363 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: San Antonio, and I always wanted New York. That was 364 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: my dream. Was San Antonio. Like as a city, I 365 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: always hear people say great things about it, like it 366 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: was super safe, family friendly, quality of life, very high, y'all. 367 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: But you would love it. There are big parties there. 368 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: There's carried me on her shoulder. But yeah, a year 369 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: ago you would have liked. Now you're engaged and had 370 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: slowing down a little bit. I'm glad. I'm proud of you. No, 371 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 1: it was so fun because they love their faith, which 372 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: is important to me, and they loved a party, which 373 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: is important to me. So it's like you went to 374 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: South Carolina to a southern school. Yeah, we're sec double grads. Here, 375 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: so I can't stay out as late as I used to, 376 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: but I like to have fun and the faith aspect 377 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: was great there. It was a wonderful place. So we 378 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: have this fabulous book here.

Yes, Clay has copies. His kids 381 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: are a little old. Maybe for the eight year old, 382 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: I think could handle this a little bit. So a 383 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: second grader. I've got fourteen, I've got twelve, and I've 384 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: got eight. There just had a couple of birthdays, so 385 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: I got to make sure I got that right. I 386 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: can tell you this this message though, even if you 387 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 1: don't read the book to them, the message I'm so 388 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: glad you were born to something my mom said to 389 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: us on our birthdays, which, if you think about it, 390 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,719 Speaker 1: means a little bit more than just happy birthday. Even 391 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: though happy birthday is great. It's something that you hear 392 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: every birthday and everyone says it, I'm so glad you 393 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: were born is like, okay, wait a minute, I have 394 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: to stop and think that's pretty cool that I was 395 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: born on this day. And I'm going to make a 396 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: big difference and I can change the world. God can 397 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: use me to change the world. You have a young daughter, 398 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: I do, she's six and a half. How much did 399 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: that motivate wanting to write a children's book? You know 400 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: what it's like as a parent. Yeah, you have three boys, 401 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: that's right, so um six and a half. My first 402 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 1: two books, my first two children's books were lyrical and 403 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: like sappy, sweet. What I was going through and I 404 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 1: was pregnant. I was so glad I had her, and 405 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: we had gone through a lot. I'd tried to get pregnant, 406 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: I had a miscarriage, and then three months later I 407 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: conceived Hayden. So I knew why I had gone through 408 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: that bad place, because I wouldn't have Hayden if it 409 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: weren't for that really tough time. And this book is 410 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: just about now I'm six years, six and a half 411 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: years past that, and how much I love being a mom. 412 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: It's so fun. I just want her to come home. 413 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: You know, we all grew up in the in the 414 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: generation where our parents were so tough, and I grew 415 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,719 Speaker 1: up in South Carolina. There were spankings, you know, and 416 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: I mean not too hard. I was a girl and 417 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: I rarely yes, I do, and to pick it out right. Actually, 418 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: my mom used to fly swatter and my dad one 419 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: time when we used a bell, usually it was his hand, 420 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: and it hurt him more than it hurt me. And 421 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 1: I saw that. I knew that, but it was it 422 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: was rare. My brother, however, probably every day. But now 423 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, I lived, he did. He did. Now I'm 424 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: in New York, and that's just not the way that 425 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: we punish our children. It's more time timeouts. I'm grateful 426 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 1: that I have a really pretty fairly easy child to raise. 427 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: So I mean, I just kind of raised my voice 428 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. She calls it the dark voice, and 429 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: then like, I feel like Darth Vader, but and then 430 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: she starts crying. But I love her so much and 431 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: we just have fun. We have dance parties in the kitchen. 432 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: So she picked out the illustrator for this book. We 433 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: put all the pictures on the floor of the illustrators 434 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: that the publisher sent me that were available at the time, 435 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: and so I said, Hayden, which one do you like? 436 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: And thankfully she picked the one I was really drawn too. 437 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: So this is our illustrator, Kim Barnes, and Hayden loves 438 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: this one picture in the book. Hayden, we talked to 439 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: the illustrator about the dance parties and how important they 440 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: were for us to show the dance parties in the 441 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: kitchen because that's where we have ours, and kind of 442 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,719 Speaker 1: they trail off into the living room. But this, the 443 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: illustrator drew a picture of a fence in the backyard, 444 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: in their backyard, and she lets her children paint use 445 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: real paint the fence. Yeah, I mean it covers the 446 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: whole backyard, like my dad would have washed. I definitely 447 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: would have gotten the belt for that one, right, But um, yeah, 448 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: So she my daughter said I really want to do that, 449 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, we rent a house out in 450 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: Long Island from one of my friends and she probably 451 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: would kick us out if we painted her fence. So, um, 452 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: we're not doing that. But I just love the illustrator. 453 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: I love the message and I'm at the end of 454 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: the book, the children yell out, I'm so glad I 455 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: was born.

And you know we were interviewed Rick Scott 500 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: this morning. He's not leaving. I mean, he's the senator. 501 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: He can't leave because he wants to take care of 502 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: his people. He said his mom was staying. He bought 503 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: his mama house when he became a senator and had 504 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: enough money, which is a sweet story. So he said 505 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: he and his mom were staying. He was gonna go 506 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: pick her up. My sisters staying. My sister's actually in 507 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 1: Mount Pleasant, so downtown Charleston's peninsula, go over the Cooper 508 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: River Bridge, yeah, and then you run into Mount Pleasant 509 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: and she's right there, but she's two stories up. She 510 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: lives in an apartment building. But for people who haven't 511 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: been to Charleston, they've seen certainly that there's a very 512 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,239 Speaker 1: low sea level in many parts of Florida. Charleston is 513 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: almost underwater. Yeah, I mean below sea level. I just 514 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: looked it up before we got here, and I don't 515 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: know if this is correct, but because this is just 516 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: a Google search, but it set eight feet above sea level. 517 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: The surge is supposed to be like between seven and nine. Yeah, 518 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: so it could go above. My sister when she lived downtown, 519 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: she was driving through the streets just to try to 520 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: get to her house and her car was completely flooded. 521 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: She lost the car. It was my mom's old car. 522 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: This is right after college. She just left her left 523 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: her car there in the middle of the road and 524 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: had to walk out of the car. So even with 525 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: a minor storm, it floods. So hopefully people got out 526 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: of Charleston at least and went inland. I mean, with Florida, 527 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: we know that that's they're they're they're always thinking about 528 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: and ready for hurricane season. What was the last time 529 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: we've had We've had some others, but Hugo was the 530 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: big one. And what we learned about Hugo, as devastating 531 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: as it was there is have y'all ever been to 532 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: Isle of Palms or Wild Dunes or Sullivan's Island, Yes, 533 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: right outside of Charleston. What we learned it wiped out 534 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: those beaches and those were like it was so fun. 535 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: It was old school beach houses like where you would 536 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: go and there's like grit and sand on the floor 537 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: and just old furniture that those were all demolished and 538 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: they built these monstrosities on that property, and many people 539 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: got made a lot of money because they sold their 540 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: houses and made these you know, built these huge properties, 541 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: and they they built them higher so their own stilts, 542 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: so you park your car underneath the house, and then 543 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: on the first floor or the bedrooms and the top 544 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: floor kitchen, din and all that so you can overlook 545 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: the ocean. So now it's beautiful. Those you know, fifty 546 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: thousand dollar houses are now multimillion dollar houses. That's happened 547 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: all over the South in many different beach communities where 548 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: they initially built, like the school. Yeah, like down in Florida, 549 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: like along the Florida Gulf Coast, used to be the 550 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 1: red Neck riviera. Those things didn't cost anything, and now 551 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 1: they're all gone. It's you know, multi millionary. Yeah. Um, 552 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: Buck's got to come down there. He hasn't been. You know, 553 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: Bucket never been really to the South at all. Uh 554 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: In like Alabam. I'm talking about like Alabama. I'm not 555 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: only it's from Virginia, sir. I'm from like Charlotte. I'm 556 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: talking not from you know, northern Virginia. I'm talking about 557 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: like Alabama, Mississippi. That's still kind of I mean, Florida 558 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: doesn't depends on what part of Florida you're in. It 559 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: can some time in these places, but only on military bases. 560 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,479 Speaker 1: But that means y'all are a good team.

We mentioned that we would give you some 662 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 1: polling numbers as when we come back and talk to 663 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: you on Monday. We will be five weeks in a 664 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: day from the mid term elections, and I know some 665 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: of the states out there, people are already able to 666 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: vote because early voting is starting. I think in eight 667 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: states already people are casting their ballots. Doctor Oz has 668 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 1: cut Fetterman's lead, according to a poll release today, down 669 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: to two points. Our friend Ron Johnson, who has been 670 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 1: on this show a lot, Senator from Wisconsin, is up 671 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: in virtually every poll right now in Wisconsin five points 672 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: in the latest Fox News poll, up five points in 673 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,560 Speaker 1: the latest Verbreezio ends a loan poll. That doesn't mean 674 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: that I don't want people out there to go vote, obvious, 675 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: you guys need to follow through. But the numbers are 676 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: all breaking, by and large, Buck, as you look through 677 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: and as you analyze the gambling odds and everything else 678 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 1: in a really good way, by and large for Republican 679 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: Senate candidates and also governors Oregon. I'm telling you, Kristin 680 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: Christine Draysen, I think is going to win first Republican 681 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: governor in Oregon potentially since the nineteen eighties, we talked 682 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:30,240 Speaker 1: about Colorado Senate race there as well as a governor's 683 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: race Tiffany Smiley. There's a great editorial in the Wall 684 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: Street Journal Buck this morning today that lays out how 685 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: aggressively Patty Murray's people are coming after Tiffany Smiley because 686 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 1: they're getting increasingly nervous that she may flip a set 687 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: in Washington. There are a lot of different places on 688 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: the board that are potentially going to be in play, 689 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 1: and they're all breaking a little bit over five weeks 690 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: from the mid term in the direction of the good guys. 691 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: I am still holding out hope this is going to 692 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: be an election that is restorative in many ways, restorative 693 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,840 Speaker 1: of sanity, of a sense of justice, of a sense 694 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:14,960 Speaker 1: of rationality, and some of these elections going to the 695 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: Republicans would certainly move things in that direction. Look, even 696 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 1: if it turns out to be a great election for Republicans, 697 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: then the work begins of governing, fixing, turning things around 698 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: in a lot of these places. So it's all about 699 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: phases man. Hopefully we can get into a phase here 700 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: where things are moving the right way instead of what 701 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 1: we've seen for quite some time here into the Bid administration. 702 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:38,359 Speaker 1: But I like the on the good news front because 703 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: we could all use some good news. One is I 704 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: got a great book, thanks for Mainsley. And two I 705 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: think we're gonna win this election. I do too, Red 706 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: Wave coming. Have great weekends,
