1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in the Thursday edition Clay Travis 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show. We wish we had better news 4 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: for you, but we unfortunately told you exactly where we 5 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: would be sitting starting today's program. At a unfortunate forty 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: year plus high on many measurable inflation data, September did 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: not get any better for the Biden administration. Inflation rose 8 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: eight point two percent in September. That is the big number, 9 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: but the core inflation rate was up six point six percent. 10 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: That is a forty year high, going all the way 11 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: back to August of nineteen eighty two. So the Inflation 12 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: Reduction Act, which actually increases inflation, has not in any 13 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: way made things any better. And stop if you've heard 14 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: this before, everybody out there said, wow, this inflation is 15 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: even worse than we expected. Let me play you a 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: couple of cuts as this number came down at eight 17 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: thirty am this morning. Let's start with Fox Businesses Cheryl Cossone. 18 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: Here's what she said. So we're looking at a month 19 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: over month gain a point four percent. The estimate was 20 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: point two percent month over month, coming in at point 21 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: four percent year over year eight point two percent, that 22 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: is hotter than expected. Again, coming in month over month 23 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: hotter than expected at point four percent, and again eight 24 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: point two percent is the headline CPI number for the 25 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: month of September, that is hotter than expected. Let me 26 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: contextualize this with a couple of more cuts from a 27 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: variety of media sources. CNBC Steve Leiseman says, you can't 28 00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: even say that inflation has peaked yet. Everything that look, 29 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: they had been medium term to long term wrong, short term, 30 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: they've been right when they've been coming forward. And you 31 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: had Mester who took a little heap the other day 32 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: saying you can't even say inflation has peaked yet. Well, 33 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: you can't even say inflation has peak yet, at least 34 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: in these numbers. We can argue about whether or not 35 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: the FEDS watching the right numbers. And then finally, CNN's 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: Christine Romans, this is the one I want to hit 37 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: you with, highest since August of nineteen eighty two, forty 38 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: year highs. Listen to this. The fet has been raising 39 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: interest rates now for months, and these numbers are still 40 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: near forty year highs. And when you dig inside these numbers, 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: and this is what everyone's really paying close attention to. 42 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: When you strip out food and energy, that core inflation, 43 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: annual core inflation six point six percent, that is the 44 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: highest since nineteen eighty two. So that is a fresh 45 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: forty year high for core inflation. And month over month 46 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: core inflation zero point six percent. That matches what we 47 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: saw in August. Overall inflation. You can see on a 48 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: line chart how it's off the worst levels that we'd 49 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: seen earlier this year, maybe showing signs of turning or peaking. 50 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: And that's what everybody wants to know. Okay, So Buck, 51 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: it ain't good. I mean, first of all, the fact 52 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: that there's this worse than expected. It has been worse 53 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: than expected pretty much every month for the last eight 54 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: months or so. Every month it feels like they're like, oh, 55 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: it's worse than expected. Here's something that's very important I 56 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: think for everyone to keep in mind. Here. Joe Biden, 57 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: what was it a day or two ago speaking to 58 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: Taper over at CNN that interview, and he says, oh, 59 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: look at the people that are saying we're you know, 60 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: we're going to have a recession. They've been saying it 61 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: and saying it put that aside. For a second, look 62 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: at the people who have been saying since the beginning 63 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration, we are going to have really 64 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: bad inflation if you don't stop spending like lunatics, and 65 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: that is what we have. So we've been right on this. 66 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: When you think about how the Tea Party came to 67 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: prominence or came to be in two thousand and nine 68 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: because of the Obama administration spending basically eight hundred billion, 69 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: nine hundred billion dollars in stimulus. Biden came into office 70 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: and was like two trillion, just let's do it one 71 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: point nine trillion, I mean, right off the bat, not 72 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: a single Republican vote, and then they did the Inflation 73 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: Reduction Act, which does anyone actually think that's reducing inflation? 74 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: Of course not. They want to separate the cause and 75 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: effect here because we've been telling them the other side. 76 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: The Republicans have been saying, you're spending too much money, 77 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: the government is putting too much currency into circulation, you've 78 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: got to stop. And now we were right and they 79 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: were wrong. There's this pattern. Hey, if you undermine cops 80 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: and you have progressive prosecutors, you're going to have lawless, 81 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: crazy streets and a lot of crime and violence. That 82 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: is what has happened. Hey, if you make it really 83 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: easy for people to come into this country and you 84 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: don't do any interior enforcement of illegal immigration, you're going 85 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: to get even more illegal immigration. That is what happened. 86 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: And with inflation, we've been telling them exactly what is 87 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: going to happen, Clay, And here we are and the 88 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: American people are presented with this and Democrats have no 89 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: real answer other than it's not that bad. Look at 90 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 1: how low unemployment is right now, We're not going into recession. 91 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: You and I've been saying inflation is going to be 92 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: really bad. We were right. We've also been saying we're 93 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: heading into a bad recession. Who wants to place bets 94 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 1: on the guys who have been right on that versus 95 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: the guys who were wrong, as in the Biden regime 96 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: on inflation, on inflation and recession. So we played all 97 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: those cuts coming out at a thirty am Eastern. I 98 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: wanted to do that because Democrats knew, even though they 99 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: publicly are arguing otherwise, that these numbers were likely to 100 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: be really bad. And the significance here is this is 101 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: really the last economic data that is going to come 102 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: out before the midterms. We're sitting at twenty six days out. 103 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: A lot of you are already able to vote through 104 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: early voting, or you're voting through absentees or whatever it 105 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: may be. A lot of you have already cast your ballots, 106 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: and everybody out there should go vote. But this basically 107 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: bakes in there's no argument the Biden administration can make 108 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: now that they have inflation in any way under control. 109 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: And to a couple of things that are significant. One, 110 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: there's one buck online source where you can bet on 111 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: elections in the United States. It's called the Predicted Markets. 112 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: You guys can look it up. I like to watch 113 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: all of the offshore, all of the overseas. But in 114 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: this newest in this United States market, for the first 115 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: time in months, Republicans are now favored to take the Senate. 116 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: So things are all breaking in a very positive direction 117 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: for Republicans. On top of that, look at what they did. 118 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: This is at least the second time Buck that the 119 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: January sixth Committee has scheduled a hearing on the day 120 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: that inflation is coming out. Oh Clay, what do you mean, 121 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm coming over your place? I got the popcorn ready, 122 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna watch the January six hearing. It's gonna be amazing. 123 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: But if we had a real media when they are 124 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: talking to all of these committee chairs that are involved 125 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: in January six, they would say, wait a moment, you 126 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: canceled the hearing a couple of weeks ago because there 127 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: was a hurricane, and you intentionally chose this date on 128 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: the calendar for at least the second time when inflation numbers, 129 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: we're going to be coming out. My point is they 130 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: are trying to run from inflation and basically pull a 131 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: pivot and say, oh yeah, inflation's forty year highs. It's 132 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: really bad. It's not getting any better. But look at 133 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: what happened back on January six those awful Trump Republicans, 134 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: the maga's, they're trying to destroy the country. Let me 135 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: tell you something. Inflation at forty year highs is more 136 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: of a threat to American democracy than anything that happened 137 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: on January sixth. Not to mention, it's a direct attack. 138 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: Every single time you pull your wallet out. If you 139 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: want to really mess up, im miserate, and even in 140 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: its most extreme form, destroy a country. Debasing and ultimately 141 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: destroying its currency is one of the most effective ways 142 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,239 Speaker 1: to do it. I'm not saying that we're at that point, 143 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: but we've been pushing the limits here and people are 144 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: feeling the pain from it, and Democrats won't stop. They 145 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: can look, look what they just did. Democrats in the 146 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: House all voted for you know, build back Better. Democrats 147 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: in the House voted for the Inflation Reduction Act, and 148 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: the same thing, same thing with basically all of the 149 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: Democrats senators. So we'll actually, well, Joe Mansion too, but 150 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: he just voted for the you know, the lesser version 151 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: of build back Better. And so we sit here and 152 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: we say, does this all matter to people or not? 153 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: I mean, this is really the question going into the election. 154 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: Do you want the failures of the Biden administration which 155 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: are obvious now there really isn't. I think it's so 156 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: important that we always, you know, bring out what the 157 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: argument of the other side is with these things, right. 158 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean, sometimes, as we know, it's you know, oh, 159 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: the right is racist, and that actually is their argument. 160 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: They won't really argue that on inflation. They'll argue that 161 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: on a whole lot of other things, and that's a 162 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: bad faith argument, but on this they really don't have one. 163 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: I mean they're they're effectively just saying, you know, trust us, 164 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: as in the Biden regime, we know what's best for you, 165 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: will get you through this. There's more work to do. 166 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: You hear that line from them all the time. No, 167 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: you guys suck at this. This has been really bad. 168 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: This has been a disaster, and you need adults who 169 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: can actually read a balance sheet or at least do 170 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: basic math to be making more of these decisions. Things 171 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: would be far better if Joe Biden had done nothing. 172 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: Yes right, goodlock would be amazing. What's the numbers one 173 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: rule of doctors, first, do no harm. Joe Biden has 174 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: done a great deal of haunt of harm. And remember Buck, 175 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: as much as he spent the trillions of dollars he 176 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: spent on all Democrat votes since he came in, he 177 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: wanted to spend over five trillion dollars on build back 178 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: better like that was the initial asking price that they 179 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: put out there, And eventually I don't trust that it's 180 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: going to only cost eight hundred billion dollars, but I 181 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: think that was the final cost of whatever the build 182 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: back Bill ended up being called the Inflation Reduction Act. 183 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: I guess is what they eventually ended up calling that thing. 184 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: And remember Buck, it was only what like two months ago, 185 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: with a stroke of a pen, he spent another four 186 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars plus trying to eradicate student loans, which 187 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: is going to end up in a court proceeding. Probably 188 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: for you, that's inflationary as well as that's inflationary. I mean, 189 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: Clay Biden, as we all know, is effectively a cognitively 190 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: challenged puppet of the hard left in this White House. 191 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: That's what's actually going on now. They haven't been able 192 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: to get full Bernie Sanders policies through because there are 193 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: Democrats that are invulnerable states that want to keep their jobs. 194 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: So they've got to tow that line between letting people 195 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: know who they really are and letting people letting the 196 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: left get its way. But Biden is, by no means 197 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: fiscally when it comes to economics, a moderate, a sound, 198 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: steady hand. I mean, I also think that he clearly 199 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: lacks and many of the advisors around him lack the 200 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: understanding and judgment necessary to be able to push for 201 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: worthwhile ideas that would create growth and prosperity. But this 202 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: is a mess. It's the number one issue. Everyone knows 203 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: we're heading into recession. The country's basically, the country's in 204 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: a bad mood right now, and the country should be 205 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: in a bad mood right now because we've got idiots 206 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: in charge. We got the worst economic environment in many 207 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: of our lives and the most ill suited knowledge of 208 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: economic leadership that we've probably ever had in the White House. 209 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: That's not a good combination. Yeah, and they keep pointing 210 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: to Trump as you say, January six hearings today, it is, 211 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: it is pathetic. It is it was so transparent that 212 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: they must know that. But play to the earlier point. 213 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: If they had a good argument for what they've done 214 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: with spending and how it hasn't led to inflation, we 215 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: would tell you they did this. Biden. Did you know 216 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: those little stickers, That's why they were so brilliant, little 217 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: stickers with Biden the gas prices. There should be those 218 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: little stickers, but they should be on every website looking 219 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: at the inflation, the CPI index, and and by the way, 220 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: mortgage rates are the highest they've been in twenty weeks. 221 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: There's that. We've got audio on mortgage rates. And I 222 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: know a lot of people out there you've been looking mortgages. 223 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: It's rough out there in mortgage level. Yeah, we'll tell 224 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: you how rough it is if you have not bought 225 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: a home. And again, I think the big part about 226 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: mortgages not just buying homes, it's how many people won't 227 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: leave their homes now if they happen to have a 228 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: good mortgage rate because of how much more they're going 229 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: to have to pay to borrow to move somewhere else. 230 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: And all this ties in with the economic collapse unfortunately 231 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration. It's causing real issues for car insurance, 232 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: home insurance, life insurance, food insurance. We have all these things, 233 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: but how many of you out there are protected In 234 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: the event the supply chain crisis gets even worse. It 235 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: can change in a hurry, Which is why I'm encouraging 236 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: you to do what I've done for my family, and 237 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: let's go to prepare with Clay and Buck dot com. 238 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: My Patriot supplies the nation's largest preparedness company.

Prepare with Clay and Buck dot com. Energy 251 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: price inflation, well that's still with us. Look at diesel 252 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: up another two cents overnight to an average of five eighteen. 253 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: It is up thirty cents in a week. No change 254 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: for gasoline. Three ninety one is your average there California 255 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: still well above six dollars a gallon. Ironically, the present 256 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: is in California right now, touting his inflation reduction, app 257 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: raising a lot of money from Hollywood. Here's the maybe 258 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: the headline of the day. Interest rates, well they're going 259 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: straight up. Will you look at that? They yield on 260 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: the ten year treasury four point zero four percent. It 261 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: can't belong before you get seven percent plus mortgages. Steward 262 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: Varney's right, you're going to see seven percent US mortgages 263 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: regularly soon here, It's gonna be pretty standard, might even 264 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: go above that. As you remember back in the eighties, 265 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: what did it get to like fifteen percent? Sixteen percent 266 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: over that? I think, yeah, because they were trying to 267 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: kill inflation under Jimmy Carter and unfortunately Buck. I really 268 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: do think there's a huge number of people out there 269 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: who may have gotten two and a half or three 270 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: percent mortgages and maybe you're having a new baby, maybe 271 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: you are wanting to move to a new school district, 272 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: or maybe your kids have left the house and you're 273 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: thinking about downsizing, and you're simultaneously also saying I can't 274 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: justify leaving my house because of my two and a 275 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: half or three percent mortgages. It's really easy now there actually, 276 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: here's some great sights where you can just go and 277 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: really plug in the numbers. Because you've been looking, you're 278 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: getting married, you've been looking at what housing. We're gonna 279 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: run for a little while. We're gonna run for a 280 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: little while. But I mean, you're actually experiencing it like 281 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: I've been a lot of our listeners are, but I 282 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: mean I've gone through this also with some investment properties 283 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: that I own, and you can plug in the numbers, 284 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: and if you were thinking about buying four hundred thousand 285 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: dollar house, a five hundred thousand dollar house, something like that, 286 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: now you're looking at buying a two hundred and fifty 287 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: thousand dollar house. I mean that's just if you're going 288 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: to finance it, just because of the difference in monthly 289 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: overhead costs that you're going to be running. It's really substantial. 290 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: Which also goes to to your point about how does 291 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: this affect people's decisions to expand or buy a house 292 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: or move. All these things result in indicators for a recession. 293 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: I think you add this all together and you're going 294 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: to have some economic paint. Edit. I think it's interesting. 295 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: First of all, Biden's in California. Is he gonna swing 296 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: by Oregon because he might need to? And I know 297 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: we got Christine Dreysen on later today. She's running for 298 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: governor of Oregon. Politico has a headline. I'm trying to 299 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: remember what the exact headline is. I don't want to 300 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: get it wrong, but basically, yeah, Oregon is in jeopardy. 301 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: That's the headline. Because they know Oregon could actually have 302 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: its first Republican governor in forty years. But Biden Clay 303 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: is out there in California raising money from people who 304 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: are so rich that they don't care about inflation. Who 305 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: are going to tell people who are getting crushed by inflation? 306 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, January sixth. That's the whole game. And look, 307 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: I'm just scrolling through Twitter and the usual suspects. What 308 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 1: do you think they're doing. They're talking about January sixth. 309 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: If you weren't at CNN right now, you are pivoting 310 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: off forty year high inflation this morning to carry the 311 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: water about January sixth for whatever claptrap they're going to 312 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: put out today, trying to distract from the failures of 313 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: the Biden administration, because everything Joe Biden has touched his worse. 314 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: I mean, it's an easy question, but are you better 315 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: off or not than you were two years ago? Almost 316 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 1: no one is better off. Block I saw this morning 317 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: the Nasdaq is down like thirty two percent right now. 318 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: Twelve and a half trillion dollars in stock market value 319 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: wiped out under Joe Biden. You know, we're trying to 320 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: do everything we can, not only to get you ready 321 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: for the economic situation, but also to save money right now, 322 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 1: and Pure talks a great way to do that. Think 323 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: about your cell phone company, because cell phone companies out there, 324 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: first of all, a lot of them are woke, so 325 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: they're using your dollars to support causes that are contrary 326 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: to your core values. And you also could be saving 327 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: some real money right now. Do what I did. Switch 328 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: to Pure Talk. It'll bring down your monthly budget for 329 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: your cell phone, which is fantastic unlimited talk, texts and 330 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: plenty of data for just thirty dollars a month, the 331 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: average family saves almost a thousand dollars a year.

So this 347 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: is not a surprise, but the Saudis are not particularly 348 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: fans of the Biden administration because remember the Biden administration 349 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: came in and they said the adults are back in charge, 350 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna have exceptional relationships with people around the world. 351 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: Well that's really not true. But yesterday evening a story 352 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,239 Speaker 1: broke the He's put out an official statement. Now I 353 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: understand that the Saudis are not necessarily the most trustworthy. Frankly, 354 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: I don't think you can trust any country's official statements. 355 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: Let's be honest, Some even less than others, right like 356 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: Iran and North Korea are at the very tail end 357 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: of whether you believe them or not. And then there 358 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: are other countries that tend to be more forthright and honest. 359 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 1: I was in the CIA, and I can tell you 360 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: all countries lie. Yeah, they lie a lot. Yeah they 361 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: lie to their own people, they lie a lot. Within 362 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: the government apparatus to each other. They lie a lot. 363 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: But the response to this accusation has been telling. The 364 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: Saudi government came out and said that the Biden administration 365 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: begged them not to decrease oil production by two million 366 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: barrels a day until after our mid terms. I have 367 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: the I have the letter from the king of the 368 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: actual Yes, a letter in front of you. Yes, I 369 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: mean I wish I had the original and like autographed 370 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: by some of the shanks. But here's what they say. 371 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: The Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would also 372 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: like to affirm that any sorry clarify that basements belief 373 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: the importance of dialogue, etc. Etc. In its continuous consultation 374 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: with US administration. All economic analyses indicate that postponing the 375 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: OPEC decision for a month, according to what has been suggested, 376 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: would have had negative economic consequences. Essentially laying it out here. Hey, 377 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: we know you guys in America under the Biden regime, 378 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: we're like, can you just keep the oil flowing so 379 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: that we can fool people into thinking the economy is 380 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: better than it is for a month, But we're actually 381 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 1: looking at the macro picture here in the Kingdom and 382 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: we don't care. Also, Clay, I think a backhand, a 383 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: backhand to Biden. And this is significant because we impeach 384 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: Donald Trump for less right, I mean publicly asking for 385 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: the oil to continue to be shipped so you can 386 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: parade around talking about how successful your energy policies have 387 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: been at by the way, dragging down the price of 388 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: oil from five dollars to still near all time highs today, 389 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 1: because that's what Joe Biden is trying to brag about. Now. 390 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: He's blamed Putin and the Saudis and everybody else for 391 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: the cost of your gallon of gas. As soon as 392 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: the price started coming back down, he said, Oh, the 393 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: reason why this is happening is because of us, right, 394 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: So everything bad is somebody else's fault. Everything good is 395 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: our credit. These lunatics Democrats impeach Donald Trump for a 396 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: phone call in which he raised the prospect of the 397 00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 1: follow through of investigation about corruption and lawbreaking by Hunter Biden, 398 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: which was all real. Yes, they pretend, they say, Oh, 399 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: influence pedaling is not illegal, money laundering is tax evasion, 400 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 1: is millions of dollars going to a family that is 401 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: buying influence in the Democrat regime that they do not 402 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: declare that they are money that is all illegal. So 403 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: Trump was actually talking about illegal activity that was going on, 404 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: or rather was at least alluding to illegal activity. They, 405 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: as we know, impeached him for that. They actually did it. 406 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: And Trump asked these questions about countries that are directly 407 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: involved in the most important places of American interest in 408 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: the world, China and Ukraine Russia as we were talking 409 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: about yesterday. It's not as if Hunter Biden was getting 410 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: paid by Costa Rica and Malta, right like, I mean, 411 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about places that have direct and strategic geopolitical 412 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 1: interest at the absolutely apex for the United States, the 413 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: two countries that would probably want more than any other country. 414 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: And because it's effectively with the Ukraine, it is the 415 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: battlefield politically and now militarily, but the battlefield of Russia Ukraine. 416 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: That's the whole. Yes, that's what. So you're basically talking 417 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 1: about Ukraine, Russia and Chinese influence buying scheme to the 418 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: then vice president's son and now actual president's son. I mean, Clay, 419 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,439 Speaker 1: you know, at what point, at what point does everyone 420 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: just recognize I think I think we're already long past it. 421 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: These people just have no principles. They'll make any argument, 422 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it contradicts the argument they made yesterday. 423 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: Whatever works in the moment, whatever makes them feel emotionally 424 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: validated in the belief that putting this cognitively, you know, 425 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: incapable buffoon in charge of the country has not had 426 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: really negative consequences. There is not a single thing. If 427 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: somebody said to me, hey, I'm gonna just as an exercise, 428 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pay you, you know, a bunch of money 429 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: to go out there and make the case about where 430 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: the Biden administration has really excelled, I would actually not 431 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: be able. I mean, even if I was doing Devil's advocacy, 432 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: I would say the Biden administration has only excelled where 433 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: it has failed to get what it wanted. That the 434 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: best thing you can say is where they've been blocked. 435 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: Thank God for that, I think buck they were going 436 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: to try to argue that they had solved COVID, and 437 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: the Joe Biden trial balloon of saying COVID is over 438 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: was so roundly rejected by his own base that they 439 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: had to walk that back because his base is not 440 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: willing to accept that COVID is no longer a threat 441 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: in this country. And I do think that there's a 442 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: a silent wave of rage out there about what was 443 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: done to us by particularly those of us who live 444 00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: in blue states like you in Tennessee. You got a 445 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 1: little bit of it when you flew and everything else. 446 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: But what the Biden regime did, it was a year 447 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: ago that they were firing people, starting to fire people, 448 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: I should say, they're still doing it here in New 449 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: York a couple of weeks ago, firing people from their jobs, 450 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: telling them they're a public health menace. Clay, there were 451 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: people who were openly and they were all Biden voters, 452 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: Biden supporters, and even some Biden officials who are openly 453 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: advocating for the denial of healthcare to people who refuse 454 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: to get the shot because they were such a risk 455 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: to other people. This was monstrous, I think. I know 456 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: it's not showing up in the polls, and maybe this 457 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: is wishcasting on my part, I'll admit that. But every 458 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: time we talk about this, Clay, you know this, our 459 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: lines are lit up for the next hour on people 460 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: who are furious, and there are a lot of them 461 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: are in New York and California and New Jersey. They're 462 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: furious about what happened. Well, this is why I think 463 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: we may see it in Christine Drayson, who we're going 464 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: to have on next hour if she gets elected as 465 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: the governor. Let's ask her about this. I want to 466 00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: know if she thinks this is part of it. Sir 467 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: Tiffany Smiley, who I saw last night on Hannity, she 468 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: did a fantastic job. She has put Washington in play, 469 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: going up against Patty Murray in a way that it's 470 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: never happened before. I personally don't think it's a coincidence 471 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: that both Christine Dreysen and Tiffany Smiley are moms, and 472 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: I think there still are a lot of outraged moms 473 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: over what happened with COVID shutdowns and Buck. We'll play 474 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 1: some audio for people when we come back about this 475 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: Saudi allegation, because it is an allegation from the Saudia government, 476 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: but we do not have a good answer coming from 477 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: the Biden administration. We'll play that audio for you when 478 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: we come back, because it sounds like they are trying 479 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: to avoid entirely that conversation, which is gives the idea 480 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: of what the Saudis are saying the ring of truth. 481 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 1: If you own a business, you know how tough it 482 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: is to protect your margins.

Appreciate your rolling with us, everybody, and I 503 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: keep on. I hope I'm not off alone on an 504 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: island of disdain and rage for fauciism over here. Well, 505 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: I know you're with me, Clay, but I just mean, 506 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: I know. Look, the economy is so big. Economy and 507 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: crime are our top two issues. Immigration for me still big. 508 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: We got a big immigration illegal immigration related story talk 509 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: about here at a moment, doesn't seem like that's moving 510 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: the needle as much, Although I don't know, we'll see 511 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: how some in some of these states. I think in 512 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: places like Arizona, Nevada, you could actually see that that's 513 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: a bigger issue, maybe a top five issue for independence 514 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: and swing voters. Probably is going to be a top 515 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: five issue for them. But Clay sentence to me and 516 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: I we always I think one of the principles of 517 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: our show is that we never we we don't ever 518 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: want to be mean. We want to be nice, we 519 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: want we want the best for every buddy. Um, we 520 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: will argue, we will call it out and yes, powerful 521 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: people will be called stupid when they are stupid, or 522 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: liars when they are liars. But there's something really wrong 523 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: with people who are still getting on planes, masking up, 524 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: taking photos of themselves and then getting angry about the 525 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: unmasked people on the planes. Right there, there's something psychologically 526 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: deeply wrong. There's this guy and it's gone viral. So 527 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: it's not like we're calling him out. I mean, he's 528 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: already got you know, he's got thirteen thousand likes. That's 529 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: when I saw, That's what That's what disgusted me this 530 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: morning when I saw that he's on a flight from 531 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: DC to Saint Louis. He said, eight people may be 532 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: masked out of a hundred, A lot of coughing and sniffling. 533 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: Wonder how many tested today before boarding? I did we 534 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: reduce the spread of this pandemic by doing whatever we 535 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: can to be responsible citizens. This is a mania where 536 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: gave him the photo that he put up the airplane flight. 537 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 1: He's wearing masking mask in the picture of the took 538 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: of himself on the airplane flight. In conjunction with all 539 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: of that that he was of course, and yeah, so 540 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: he shared a photo of himself and he's wearing what 541 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: is this? This is like one of the heavier duty 542 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: is this? And then not yeah, and he's wearing of course, 543 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: and then ninety five mask in this photo. And that's 544 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: troubling enough as it is that there are still these 545 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: people out there. I do feel I'm angry at them 546 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: because they would mask all of us up if they could, 547 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 1: so it's not okay. But I also do feel sorry 548 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: for them because they have been psychologically shattered by doctor Fauci, 549 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: by Rachelle Wilenski, by the Biden administration, by the usage 550 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: of this as a masking as a tool of political 551 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: mobilization and virtue signaling that still persists in pockets of 552 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: this country, still happening in some places. Clay the comments, 553 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: there's somebody in a common thread here who's talking about 554 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: what a great like it is to make sure when 555 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: you're on the plane you only drink through a straw 556 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: so you never fully remove your mask. And she's serious. 557 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: These people are nuts. And if Fauci was not a 558 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: monstrous little tyrant, he would come forward and say, guys, 559 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: you really don't it never worked, just so you know, 560 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: it never did anything. And this is crazy also, and 561 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,479 Speaker 1: This builds on what I was just saying, Buck, I 562 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: really do think the Biden the pandemic is over trial 563 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: balloon that he tried to float during his sixty minutes 564 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: interview a few weeks ago was an effort to have something, 565 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: to be able to argue positively that he and his 566 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: administration had accomplished, even if you and I know that 567 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: COVID was going to burn through this population no matter what. 568 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: And really the only reason why COVID has diminished is 569 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: because everybody got it right. Yeah, I mean, basically we 570 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: have herd immunity. But is base Buck is that guy 571 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 1: sitting there in the mask counting how many people are 572 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 1: wearing masks on his Southwest Airlines flight? And the reason 573 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there because when 574 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: I tweet about this, I will go into the comments 575 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: and I'll just glance through, and people say, why don't 576 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: you just live and let live? Let this guy do 577 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: whatever he wants. And my answer to all those people is, 578 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: the moment this guy has an ounce of political power, 579 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: he's going to insist that you wear a mask. Some 580 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: of these mask people, Buck, for the rest of their lives. 581 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: Now they're gonna wear masks. And they want to insist 582 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: that you and your family do the same, even though 583 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: it's anti science. Gobblygook. I mean, masks were a form 584 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: of political oppression and obedience. I mean that's that's really 585 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: what it transformed into. If there were good studies, if 586 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: there was any data to suggest that it really worked, 587 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: Trust me, it's all you'd be seeing whatever whatever you 588 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: looked up masks. The fact that we had the public 589 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: health authorities. Look, they still require I don't know do 590 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: they require masks anywhere in like medical facilities in Tennessee, 591 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: everything in New York's a great question. I think that 592 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: they do. If you if you go into your if 593 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: you go into a hospital, you know, to visit your 594 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: your friend who's in his thirties, who you know is 595 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,359 Speaker 1: having a knee surgery, you better mask up or you're 596 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: not allowed in. It is It is demeaning to our intelligence. 597 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: It is as though doctors are telling me that they're 598 00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: about to apply leeches on some you know, some kind 599 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: of moss or lichen to suck out the poisons, like 600 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: we're in the medieval period. Again, this is crazy, and 601 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: again it's not going to go away because I just 602 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: don't I mean buck, I'm curious what you think. How 603 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: does this end for Biden's base Democrats? I I genuinely 604 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: get disgusted now. I saw a kid two days ago 605 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: outdoor restaurant, probably eight years old. Dad and kid wearing 606 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 1: masks to walk to the bathroom inside of an outdoor restaurant. 607 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: Or I am down here on the Panhandle of Florida, 608 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: and all I can think when I see this is one, 609 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,800 Speaker 1: it's child abuse, But I actually think, how awful must 610 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 1: that kid's life have been for the last couple of 611 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 1: years if his parents are still making him wear masks 612 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: outdoors at the flipping beach? You know, I said this 613 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: yesterday on Twitter. There's a guy, James Smith, who's a 614 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: personal trainer. He actually does very very good content. He 615 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: was he's Australian guy. He's got some salty language, but 616 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: I'm a salty language fan, to be honest with you. 617 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: Not on radio. But he's a very good, very good 618 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,959 Speaker 1: personal training content. But he was, and I remember seeing 619 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,359 Speaker 1: this a big get vaccinated, don't be a jerk, don't 620 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: risk other people. He's come out and basically said and said, 621 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: straight up, I am sorry, I got this so wrong. 622 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 1: I owe so many of you apologies. I trusted people 623 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 1: who were experts and they were liars. The first person 624 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: I have seen with a Blue check on social media. 625 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 1: Have you seen a single CNN contributor, a single New 626 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 1: York Times editorial page writer say I'm sorry, guys, we 627 00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: got it wrong. They just don't care. They just don't care. 628 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: A lot of them, I think, are gleeful that they 629 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: were able to make so many people bend the need 630 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: of their stupidity. The actual medical outcome didn't matter. I 631 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,359 Speaker 1: think also, Buck, a lot of them their brains are 632 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: broken and they refuse to acknowledge that everything they did 633 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: for multiple years was wrong. And they just won't allow 634 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: themselves to acknowledge what the real data shows because, as 635 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: we've talked about before, so many of these blue checks 636 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 1: are terrified and fearful of their intelligence being questioned more 637 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: than any So the idea that they could have been 638 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: the gullible ones and everybody in Red States was the 639 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: smart ones that they can't hand them clad Travis and 640 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth
