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 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome man, our number three Clay Travis

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: A couple hours. In the books here, we've talked about

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: many different issues, including the fact that everybody in the

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: Democrat Party suddenly turning on Joe Biden. They are not

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: finding him useful anymore, and there's suddenly a recognition as

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: his approval ratings fall well below forty percent of the

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: coming red wave in the midterms. And the fact that

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Biden would be eighty two years old when he was

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: inaugurated for a second term. In the event that he

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: was going to win, as David Axelrod said, he'd be

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: closer to ninety than he would be to eighty at

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: the end of a second term. And so everybody is

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: suddenly turning on Biden. That doesn't mean, however, that Donald

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Trump is not still the focus. And Buck made the point,

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: I think it's right, January sixth is a distraction that

18
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: is designed to try to draw as much attention away

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: from everything that's going on that is a disaster right

20
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: now for the Democrats. In fact, as we speak to

21
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: you right now. The stock market under Joe Biden has

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: now hit a new low during his tenure, and the

23
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: stock market itself is down. The TAO is nearly seven

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: hundred points, getting close to going back under thirty thousand.

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: All of this obviously inflicting a great deal of pain

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: when you combine it with inflation, when you combine it

27
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: with all of the economic challenges that are out there.

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: And so not only is January sixth going on, but

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: they are trying to keep anyone who wants to point

30
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: out that January sixth was not a particularly unique riot

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: in this country. In fact, we had an entire summer

32
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: of riots. And here's some data for you. I shared

33
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: this over the weekend, Buck, but I want to hit

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: you with several different things here. So January sixth was

35
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: a one time riot over five hundred. However, BLM riots

36
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: lasted seven months, over twenty murders that are attributed to

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: the BLM riots themselves, hundreds of small businesses destroyed in

38
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: the BLM riots, a hundred and fifty plus federal buildings damaged,

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: somewhere in the billions of dollars in damages between one

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: and two billion. Over two thousand police officers. Assaulted protesters

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: were bailed out despite the fact that they had been looting,

42
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: violent behavior, and it was encouraged by the Democrat Party.

43
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: Most in the media are not paying attention to it.

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: The January sixth hearing that around a million and a

45
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: half dollars in damage, they're still protesters that are in

46
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: solitary confinement. I donated some money for their legal defense.

47
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: It's crazy to think about. So you're not even allowed

48
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: to have this conversation in larger society. In fact, on Friday,

49
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: after basically we've finished the show, the Washington football team

50
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: they now called the Washington Commanders, many of you will

51
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: know them as the Washington Redskins, find their defensive coordinator,

52
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Jack del Rio, a hundred thousand dollars for asking a

53
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: simple question, why are we focused on January sixth and

54
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: not talking at all about the BLM protests and Buck.

55
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: This goes to the argument that I think you bought

56
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: in now as you've kind of paid attention more since

57
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: we've been doing the show. The sports media is more

58
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: left wing than any outlet than the political media are,

59
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: which is pretty crazy to think about. And what is

60
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: designed to do when you're finding Jack del Rio one

61
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars for merely asking the question about why

62
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: we're treating January six different than all the BLM riots.

63
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: Is that's a question the Washington Redskins slash commanders said

64
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: this in the statement that isn't even allowed to be asked.

65
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: That's a discussion that isn't even able to be broached,

66
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: and so bad that he got fined one hundred thousand dollars,

67
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: he had to delete his Twitter and end up losing

68
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: his job before all is said and done, just because

69
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: he asked the question, why are we talking about January

70
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: sixth standing alone and not the hundreds of riots that

71
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: took place prior to January sixth? Not only the hundreds

72
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: of riots, but also let's look at how election denial

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: is something that Democrats engaged in for four years with

74
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: the Russia collusion law. They had a special counsel, they

75
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: had saturation level media coverage, and it wasn't as though

76
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: they were close. It wasn't as though it was mostly true.

77
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: It was entirely untrue. The entire notion and the Democrats

78
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: people often forget this. Now in twenty seventeen, towards twenty eighteen,

79
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: something like seventy percent of Democrats thought the Russians actually

80
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: hacked hacked into. A lot of them still believe it right,

81
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: but there was a solid majority in polling that you

82
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: would see of Democrats who believed that the Russians actually

83
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: hacked in in some capacity to the election. They would say, now,

84
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: you could say act as kind of a broad term,

85
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: but the Russians didn't hack the election. This was crazy talk.

86
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: But let's remember that not only are we seeing mister

87
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: del Rio yep, who is by far my favorite defensive

88
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: coordinator in the National Football League, also the only one

89
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: that I can name, but he is my favorite. But

90
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: not only is mister del Rio punished for talking about

91
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: an issue of politics, an issue that goes right to

92
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: the heart of what we're supposed to have defended as

93
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: as citizens, not just from the government, but as a

94
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: general societal freedom. If you've said the wrong things, I mean,

95
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: I remember this, right after the election, you would get

96
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: shut down on social media. In fact, there were some

97
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: right leaning outlets out there where you were not allowed

98
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: to even make certain arguments about what had gone on

99
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: with the election. To this day, I mean, I just

100
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: recently I shared a link about an interview with denisht

101
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Suzon his two thousand uls that I did with him

102
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: on TV, and my Facebook page got effectively shut down

103
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: after that. Right, so they keep on saying that we

104
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: have to listen to them on this stuff. Clay on

105
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: January sixth, we have to take these people seriously when

106
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: they claim our democracy was under assault. There's been no

107
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: accountability for the Russia collusion hoax they perpetrated, and no

108
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: accountability political or otherwise for the hundreds of riots that

109
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: you just cited that put the twenty twenty election in

110
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: a state of duress, which also should be remembered by everybody.

111
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,119
Speaker 1: Stores were boarded up and people were terrified in case

112
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: Joe Biden lost. It's not the way it's supposed to

113
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: be in this country, and that is entirely on the Democrats.

114
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: And by the way, I want to read a couple

115
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: of these sentences because I think they're staggering from what

116
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: the Washington commander said when they find Jack del Rio

117
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars. As we saw last night in

118
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: the hearings, what happened in the Capitol was an act

119
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: of domestic terrorism. This is statement from head Coach Ron Rivera.

120
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: This is I'm reading from it. A group of citizens

121
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: attempted to overturn the results of a free and fair election,

122
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: and as a result, lives were lost and the Capitol

123
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: building was damaged. By the way, the only life that

124
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: was lost was Ashley Babbitt because she was shot by

125
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: a Capitol police officer. There were not lives lost. There

126
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: was a life lost, and it was because of a

127
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: shooting from a police officer of a protester. Yes, Ashley

128
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: Babbitt shot in the neck through a door. Everybody, Yes,

129
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: that's right. And this is crazy like it feels like

130
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: such unbelievable propaganda that I wanted to read some of

131
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: these quotes. Coach del Rio understands the distinction between the

132
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: events of that dark day and peaceful protest, which are

133
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: a hallmark of our democracy. The BLM protests were not peaceful.

134
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: This is a lie. This is what is being shared

135
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: from the NFL. He does have the right to voice

136
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: his opinion. However, words have consequences, and his words hurt

137
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people in our community. I want to

138
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: make it clear, this is what the redskin said, Buck,

139
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: the commanders, whatever you want to call him. That our

140
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: organization will not tolerate any equivalency between those who demanded

141
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: justice in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the

142
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: actions of those on January sixth who sought to topple

143
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: our government. I gotta say the actions of the BLM

144
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: protesters were, by all objective measures that I just shared

145
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: with you worse if you want to argue, Hey, which

146
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: was worse a few hours of a riot that I

147
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: believe people should be prosecuted for or seven months of

148
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: hundreds of riots. Buck, I'm gonna go with the seven

149
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: months of hundreds of riots. Now, some people might disagree

150
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: with me, but the idea that you're not even able

151
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: to argue about the difference in treatment for these situations.

152
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: Tomala Harris was harging in favor of raising money or

153
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: the rioters, yes in Minneapolis who burned a police station

154
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: to the ground, who were including the stores of people.

155
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: And one of the things you always know about the

156
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: lawless and deeply unethical left is the Democrat Party will

157
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: either ignore or excuse the looting that happens when there's

158
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: a moment of political sensitivity. For the left, it's oh well,

159
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: it was a mostly peaceful protest, never mind the assaults

160
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: that some of the rioters engaged in against police. They

161
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: were trying and I remember this because I was covering it,

162
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: and I was furious at how little this attention this

163
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: was getting in the national media. They were using lasers,

164
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: specifically in Portland, to try to blind the federal office

165
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: that the Trump administration sent to help with the defense

166
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: of a federal courthouse that Psycho Biden voters were trying

167
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: to burn to the ground. I mean, I'm gonna tell

168
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: you this, if I thought somebody was trying to blind me,

169
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: and I had a side arm, I would feel justified

170
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: in drawing down on them. It's not okay to try

171
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: to blind somebody. Buck. In my hometown of Nashville, protesters

172
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: tried to burn down and it didn't get a lot

173
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: of attention because there was so much chaos going on elsewhere.

174
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: They tried to burn down the main Nashville courthouse right

175
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: in the center of downtown. They were there was nobody

176
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: to stop them. They were breaking windows, they were throwing

177
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: explosive and incendiary devices inside of the building in an

178
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: effort to burn it down. And the idea that all

179
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: of that occurred and to my knowledge. There's never been

180
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: a hearing on it. There's never been an investigation to

181
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: try to figure out where did the funding come from

182
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: that led to all of this. I want to play

183
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean to me, when the Republicans take back the

184
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: House and the Senate, there should be hearings on both.

185
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: But I just want to play. I don't know if

186
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: you even heard it, Buck, I just want to play

187
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: you this audio Jack del Rio, what he said that

188
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 1: cost him one hundred thousand dollars. I just want everybody

189
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: out there to listen to it. In the event that

190
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: you didn't hear it, listen to this. Let's get right

191
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: down to it. What did I ask a simple question,

192
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 1: why are we not looking into those things? If we're

193
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: gonna talk about it, why are we not looking into

194
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: those things? Because it's kind of hard for me to

195
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: say I can realistically look at it. I see the

196
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: images on TV. People's livelihoods are being destroyed, businesses are

197
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: being burned down, no problem, and then we have a

198
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: dust up at the Capitol. Well, nothing burned down, and

199
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: we're not gonna talk about we're gonna make that a

200
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: major deal. I just think it kind of two standards

201
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: and if we apply the same standard, and we're gonna

202
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: be reasonable with each other. Let's have a discussion that's

203
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: all of us. Does Jack del Rio have his own

204
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: jersey play, because I'm gonna buy it and do the

205
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: show at it. Buck, as a guy who doesn't spend

206
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: a lot of time necessarily in sports, you listen to that.

207
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: A hundred thousand dollars. He got fined for saying what

208
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: I just played for all of you out there, itmn

209
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: goles my mind. It wasn't irresponsible, it wasn't offensive, it

210
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: wasn't reckless, it wasn't untrue. It was entirely reasonable. Yes,

211
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: and he's fined one hundred It's not even like you

212
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: and I are hitting here saying we know what he

213
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: meant and his intentions with what No, what he said

214
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: is completely I mean I would say that and think, well,

215
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good radio segment. I just did. I mean,

216
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: we just I mean, it's imminently reasonable. And what it's

217
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: being done, Buck, is they're telling everyone who is in

218
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: the world of sports, if you share any opinion that

219
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: isn't far left wing, there are going to be consequences.

220
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: And frankly, look, the Washington franchise has been an embarrassment

221
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: for a long time. They can't win any games, but

222
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: this might be, in my opinion, the most embarrassing thing

223
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: that they have done in twenty five years in the

224
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: DC football franchise, which is saying something. The summer session

225
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: for learning at Hillsdale College has started. No not on

226
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: campus online. That's where Hillsdale College has connected with millions

227
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: of us with their learning and exploration of topics and people.

228
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: Some thirty online video series to date, with a new

229
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: one ready for you to learn from. Hillsdale's new free

230
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: online course is titled CS. Lewis on Christianity. C. S.

231
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: Lewis was a master addressing life's most important questions through

232
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: vivid language that's entertaining and fascinating. You may know Lewis

233
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: is the author of the Chronicles of Narnia. Well, he

234
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: had a great way with words, and it showed in

235
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: his ability to communicate and inspire. In fact, his book

236
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: Mere Christianity began as a series of radio messages back

237
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: in the day. Go online to watch the trailer video

238
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: of C. S. Lewis on Christianity and sign up for

239
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: this new free online course at Clay and buckfour, Hillsdale

240
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: dot com. That's Clay and Buck four Hillsdale dot com.

241
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: The city's police union says, not only it's a dropping

242
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: officers on the streets in New York City alarming, but

243
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: it's also a major threat to public safety as crime

244
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: continues to rise. More than fifteen hundred NYPD officers have

245
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: either resigned or retired just this year. Those numbers are

246
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: up thirty eight percent compared to data from twenty twenty one,

247
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: and it puts the department on track to have the

248
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: biggest loss of manpower in decades. Welcome back to Clay

249
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: and Buck. You heard that there from Fox supporter Alexis

250
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: McAdams about fifteen hundred members of the NYPD resigning or

251
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: retiring this year alone. I spoke to a friend who

252
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: a long time officer was retired now last night. He

253
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: said that his friends who are still in say that

254
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: recruitment is also way down. So it's not just you

255
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: have a huge surge in the in many cases the

256
00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: most seasoned and experienced officers of the whole forty thousand

257
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: some strong some odd strong force, but you also have

258
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: a very hard time getting new officers to join. Part

259
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: of this is, obviously the movement not only to defund police,

260
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: but to disrespect police. That has grown I think widely

261
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: in the popular culture that the Democrats pander too because

262
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: they're gross, because they want to pretend the problem in

263
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: society is not the criminal, but is the cop who's

264
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: trying to police the streets to keep us safe. And

265
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: I think one thing that Clay and I have talked

266
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: about we'd like to like to make sure we keep

267
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: this in mind going forward as well, is when officers

268
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: fall in the line of duty, why doesn't it get

269
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: more of a discussion in the media. Why is it

270
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: that I'm I'm almost certainly the first person to tell

271
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: you about County Sheriff's Deputy first Class Glenn Hilliard of

272
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: Maryland died hour hours after he was shot trying to

273
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: make an arrest in Pittsville, Maryland. Suspect isn't custody, by

274
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: the way, Deputy Hilliard leaves behind a wife and three children.

275
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: Would have been forty two next week. Any NFL, NBA,

276
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: or Major League Baseball players going to call for a

277
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: moment of silence, going to write Deputy Hilliard's name on

278
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: their helmet or on their wrists band or you name it.

279
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: Why don't we He was, by the way, an African

280
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: American police officer, I might add, died for his country,

281
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: for his community. Why isn't his name revered? Why aren't

282
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: we talking about the heroes, Clay. It's a fantastic question,

283
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: and I think it is a testament to how lost

284
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: these leagues have become. That police, in the eyes of

285
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: many who work at the league, who play for the leagues,

286
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: who coach in the leagues, have become the enemy. Now

287
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: I should tell you the amount of people reaching out

288
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: after the Jack del Rio's story that we're furious players

289
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: coaches substantial. And I think that this is the kind

290
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: of the question that I was asking you, Buck, And

291
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: by the way, prayers and for every police officer out there,

292
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: This show, I hope supports police more so than almost

293
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: anyone in media. That's our goal. We respect you guys,

294
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: many of you are listening and girls who are out

295
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: there trying to make our streets safer. But I think

296
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: what's going on is there are so many people who

297
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: are based in New York in LA that have no

298
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: idea what the rest of the country is thinking. That's

299
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I ask you that question about

300
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: the morning after the red Wave, I think Democrats are

301
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: going to double down on their craziness, and I think

302
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: the result is going to be not only a red

303
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: wave in twenty twenty two, but I think a red

304
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: wave is going to carry Republican back to the White

305
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: House in twenty twenty four. And I think it's going

306
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: to be a large degree based on crime and wanting

307
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: to put police back on our streets to be able

308
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: to do their jobs. Inflation is outpacing wage growth. Are

309
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: you getting an eight percent raise this year? A lot

310
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: of people aren't, because that's what the inflation statistics are reflecting.

311
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: It's the highest it's been in over forty years. Inflation

312
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: rates of eight percent or worse can be massively detrimental

313
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: to so many household budgets out there. That's why you

314
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,400

325
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: Do it Today, Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

326
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: It's painful. I know it's painful to be looking at

327
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: the stock market in the last year, particularly painful Buck,

328
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: when I feel and I'm not even kidding about this,

329
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: I feel like you and I would have been better

330
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: at advising Joe Biden on the economy than anybody who

331
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: was actually advising Joe Biden on the economy, because if

332
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: you just listen to this show, we have nailed a

333
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: lot of what was coming and a lot of the

334
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: threats that are out there. And when I hear some

335
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: of these guys giving their opinions on the economy, it

336
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: doesn't make me feel better. So this is Biden's economic advisor,

337
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: Jared Bernstein. The SMP five hundred has officially entered a

338
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: bear market. The market has for the last year been

339
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: a disaster. The market is now down for Joe Biden's

340
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: entire tenure. That is if you had bought stock on

341
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: the day that Joe Biden was inaugurated because you thought

342
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden was going to lead us back to

343
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: an economic revitalization the likes of which we hadn't seen before,

344
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: then you have lost money over the last eighteen months.

345
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: But it's important to know. According to Jared Bernstein, the

346
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: Biden administration, they don't pay attention to the daily wiggles

347
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: of the stock market. Listen to this. First of all,

348
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: we don't really pay too much attention to daily wiggles,

349
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: but I think the broader trend is, of course something

350
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: of great interest to us. First of all, while most

351
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: stock ownership is concentrated among the very wealthiest, I think

352
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: eighty percent of the value is held by the top

353
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: ten percent, there's still a lot of people with retirement accounts,

354
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: so we have to be mindful of that. But I

355
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: think the key thing here is from the perspective of

356
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve. If you look at tightening financial conditions

357
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: which are embedded in these equity returns. If you look

358
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: at the ten year yield on the Treasury bond, that's

359
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: a three point twenty seven. If you look at the

360
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: slowing in the housing market where you see cooling there.

361
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: All of that suggests that the FEDS actions are taking effect.

362
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, we should make daily wiggles

363
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: a famous lampoonable phrase, because when the daily wiggle every

364
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: day goes the same direction, it ain't a daily wiggle,

365
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: It's called a collapse. All right. Maybe feel better to

366
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: have an economic advisor talking about daily wiggles out there

367
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: on television. It used to be that I could say,

368
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: my money don't jiggle, jiggle, it folds. But I don't

369
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:31,959
Speaker 1: know if anyone. I don't how many people are on

370
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: TikTok out there, But that's from a rap song. But

371
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: my money's not folding these days because there's less of

372
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: it because we all have less of our money. Yeah,

373
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: And I just I mean, when you have the top

374
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: guys out there and they won't, they won't accept responsibility either.

375
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: And listen to Biden here, I mean, he talked outside

376
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: of Air Force one in LA and he consistently is

377
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: saying Russia's invasion has caused gas prices to be where

378
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: they are, even though Buck if you look at charts

379
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: and you look at the Joe Biden administration, gas was

380
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: pretty daggone expensive before anything happened in Ukraine lit all

381
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: over one hundred days ago. But Biden is still peddling

382
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: that lie. So here's the thing, here's why the gas

383
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: price situation makes Democrats so upset. There is no spinning

384
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: of it and there is no hiding from it, and

385
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: that's something that they're not used to. Right what's going

386
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: on the southern border. Southern border is a disaster. It

387
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: is lawless. We have more people coming into the country

388
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: legally than ever before. If you have reporters, there are sorry.

389
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: If you don't have reporters, they're covering it and you

390
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: don't make an effort to tell everybody day in and

391
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: day out. By the way, I agree with you, I

392
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 1: think we should have on different channels. I think there

393
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: should have been arguing it. Yea a counting, what would

394
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: you call it? A little like a ticker? You know

395
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: of a better way to describe it that would say

396
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: how many illegals this month? How many illegals for the year,

397
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: So people really know. If everyone's fine with this the

398
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: Democrat Party, fine, what's the problem? People should know about this?

399
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: But you can hide that people in this country drive,

400
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: they need gas and the price is the price for

401
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: as much as they want to say. And it's so

402
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: pathetic to oh the gas companies, Oh, the gas companies

403
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: just suddenly decided to gouge everybody. When Biden's president, when

404
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: Trump was president, the gas companies were humanitarians, you know,

405
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: they didn't want to gouge everybody. Their arguments are so stupid,

406
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: no one really believes them. But they're desperate, so they're

407
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: just throwing stuff out there to make noise. They cannot

408
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: hide from the price of gas, and they know it

409
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: is a truism of American politics. People don't like high

410
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: gas prices, and they blame the people in charge. And

411
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: in this case, they should blame the people in charge.

412
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: I agree. And listen, by the way, if you're frustrated

413
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, blaming Vladimir Putin as he just did, is

414
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: not going to make you feel any better. This was Biden,

415
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: by the way, in la talking about the fact that gas,

416
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: as you well know as you listen to us out

417
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: there across the country, has now crossed five dollars a gallon,

418
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: the highest price that any of us living have ever

419
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: had to pay for gas per gallon in the history

420
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: of the United States. Here's Biden saying it's not really

421
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: our fault. So outrageous what the war and Ukraine is discussing.

422
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,239
Speaker 1: And we're trying very hard to make sure that we can.

423
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: We've significantly increase the number of bowls of royal about

424
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: our being pumped out of the wood reserve. We have

425
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: got two hundred and forty thousand barrels with wealth coming

426
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: from other nations. We're gonna keep pushing up. It's gonna

427
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: coo pushing. Do you have any sense Buck that Joe

428
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: Biden one understands anything at this point. There's a video

429
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: while we're live on the air. Biden, of course went

430
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: to his home in Delaware's Beach Home for the weekend.

431
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: He showed back up on Monday, first day of the week,

432
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 1: twelve to thirty Eastern Lands at the White House to

433
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: walk inside. Now I understand you can. Well, the president's

434
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: always working, you know, it doesn't matter where he is.

435
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: I think the message that you send when you show

436
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: up on Monday at the White House, where your government

437
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: is centrally located at twelve thirty is not a good

438
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 1: message to be sending, right. You can't have the optics

439
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: matter sometimes and not other times. Right, you can't have

440
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Joe Biden wearing a mask backstage at Jimmy Kimmel only

441
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: to take it off for the cameras to show everybody

442
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: I was wearing a mask, and then say the fact

443
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: that he shows up for work Monday after lunchtime at

444
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: a time you'd be one thing. If the economy was

445
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 1: amazing and people were feeling really good, it would be

446
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: one thing. You know, maybe Joe wanted to play a

447
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: little extra golf because he's celebrating too like all the

448
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: rest of us. The economy stinks right now. Everyone knows

449
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: that people are under a lot of stress. I mentioned this.

450
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: I think at the top of the show. New York

451
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: City has its highest rent average ever right now, the

452
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: city of New York, the average rent for a one

453
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: bedroom apartment getting people who live in you know, middle

454
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: of the country, they're gonna four thousand dollars I don't

455
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: even know, so fifty thousand dollars a year you have

456
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: to spend basically to live in an apartment in New

457
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: York City, in a one bedroom So imagine if you're

458
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: a family of three or a family of four. One

459
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: bedroom apartment average in New York City is a four

460
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: thousand average in Manhattan is approaching five thousand dollars a month, folks.

461
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: So that's more than the average family of four makes.

462
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: By the way, in America buy in large five thousand

463
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: a month, not even expending the sixty k a year. Right,

464
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: that's more than most people who are listening to us

465
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: right now, I bet make it their jobs just without

466
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: even have to pay for anything else. And yet we

467
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: have all this inflation happening, We have the economy looking

468
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: like it is going to go into a recession, and

469
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: what is the price? You could just say this, this

470
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: is a observable reality. What are the Democrats more focused

471
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: on right now than anything else? Is it inflation? Is

472
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: it energy? Is it people paying for their groceries? The

473
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: January sixth insurrection of eighteen months ago, the real messaging,

474
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: if you can just get past the propaganda veneer on

475
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: the networks that are covering this stuff and running with

476
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: it constantly, the realities, any American disesus would say to

477
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: himself or herself, what are these clowns doing? There are

478
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: real problems, and people can say, oh, they can, you know,

479
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: walk and chew gum. At the same time, the government

480
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: is spending The Congress is spending more energy on the

481
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: January sixth show trial. Yeah, anything else they are doing

482
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: right now. All they've got is Trump. That's I mean,

483
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: he's not even in office or even running for office

484

00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: feast of three hours here with Clay, and we also

526
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: tell I'd like to talk to you about our predictions

527
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: that we make and or I should say in this case,

528
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: it's really just more being ahead of the curve. We

529
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: mentioned this, so we had the team because at clonbuck

530
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: dot com or fabulous website we have transcripts of the

531
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: show that are up for your perusing and if you

532
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: go and you we're to listen. On December fifteenth of

533
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, we're talking about how Joe Mansion is

534
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: basically bailing out his party from its own insanity. Remember,

535
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: build Back Better was the single Biden agenda that he

536
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: was pushing that in mandatory vaccines more than anything else,

537
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: that build Back Better plan. You heard it over and

538
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: over and over again, and it didn't go through because

539
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: of Democrats or a democrat or two in this case.

540
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: And here's what we were saying December fifteenth, six months ago.

541
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: If the Democrats cannot get this build Back Better bill

542
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: done before twenty twenty one ends, then you're going to

543
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: have the holiday break, and then you move into a

544
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: mid term election year, which could make things even more

545
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: difficult potentially to get done. But Joe Mansion appears to

546
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: be holding his ground. And one more bit here, buck,

547
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: Joe Mansion is also saying now that he may well

548
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: run for reelection. In twenty twenty four, Donald Trump won

549
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: the state of West Virginia by thirty nine points. If

550
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: he's running for reelection, he ain't back and build back Better,

551
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: I'd be stunned. I think he likes being the most

552
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,479
Speaker 1: powerful senator at this moment in America. I think he

553
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: enjoys that he's in a position. And let's be honest

554
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: about this, he is the damn holding back the left

555
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: wing insanity within his own party. Now here we are,

556
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: and you've got Rattner, who was the auto Tzar under

557
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: Obama saying yeah, he held back the left wing insanity

558
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: within his own party, and Joe Scarborough on MSNBC these

559
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: are now common talking points because I think this is

560
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: very important and you may have friends who are independents.

561
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: You may have friends who are busy and just don't

562
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time paying attention to politics. What

563
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: you need to point out is that not only has

564
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: Joe Biden been I think the worst president in any

565
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: of our lives, also he would have been an even

566
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,719
Speaker 1: worst president by far if he'd gotten to do what

567
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: he was trying to do Buck, because right now, one

568
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: point two trillion in infrastructure, one point nine trillion in

569
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: additional COVID spending that only Democrats supported, and he wanted

570
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: to spend over five trillion dollars more on build back better.

571
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: So if you're out there right now, and maybe you

572
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: talk to people who are Democrat leaning, maybe you talk

573
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: to people who are independent voters, you need to make

574
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: it clear that the only reason why we aren't in

575
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: more dire economic straits than we are right now, sitting

576
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: at eight point six percent inflation, is because Joe Biden

577
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: didn't get his way. Because what they're trying to argue

578
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: now and be prepared for this going forward, they're going

579
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 1: to say, oh, the Republicans obstructed us from being able

580
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: to enact our agenda. You better be glad that they're

581
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: some obstruction, because otherwise we'd all be screwed even more

582
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: than we actually are. Right now, they should be thankful

583
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: that we didn't think that spending another five trillion dollars

584
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: or six trillion dollars was the same thing to do.

585
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: They should be thankful that we keep pushing back on

586
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: the Green New Deal nonsense. I mean, Gavin Newsom and

587
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau, who it really is? Here's the real question.

588
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 1: Is Newsom is Trudeau the Canadian version of Newsom? Or

589
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: is Newsom the American version of Trudeau? I don't know.

590
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they can kind of go back and forth.

591
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: They were announcing a new climate change package. We didn't

592
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: have to play the audio on that because who cares.

593
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: But Ron de Santisa, Florida is pointing out this whole

594
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: anti fossil fuel energy thing is an article of religious

595
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: faith for the Democrat Party. Now. Joe Biden came into

596
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: office and declared war on American energy. We were energy

597
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 1: independent for the first time in my life. When he

598
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: came into office. He had sweeping executive orders to try

599
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: to kneecap American energy production. And look, this is a

600
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: global market, it's not just the US. But he has

601
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: made it way worse here in this country, and they

602
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: will not reverse course. This is just a religion for

603
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: them to be attacking energy production in the United States.

604
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: So that's Rondo Sciantis firing back at the overall disastrous

605
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: energy policies that are out there right now. And by

606
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: the way, we got a couple of people we were

607
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: talking earlier in the show Buck. We haven't taken any

608
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 1: calls so far today, we got a couple of people

609
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: who want to weigh in with some of the big

610
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: debate topics that we've been having today, in particular surrounding

611
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: January six Trump everything else. Let's take a couple of

612
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: these calls, a variety of perspectives from so many people

613
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: out there. We appreciate you guys calling in. We try

614
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: to get you home. We can. Jim in Georgetown, Texas,

615
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: what your read on January sixth so far? Yeah, So,

616
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's the hoaks and everything. I mean,

617
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: like you guys said, they're focused on the wrong thing.

618
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: Should have been the other riots and everything going on.

619
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: You know, I voted for Trump in twenty sixteen, twenty twenty,

620
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: but I honestly think the only thing that can get

621
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: the Democrats to win in twenty twenty four is if

622
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: Trump is running again, because there is so much hatred

623
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: for Trump out there be assault toxic among once all

624
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: the Democrats, but a lot of independence. And I know

625
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: a lot of Republicans who voted for Trump before who

626
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: will never vote for him again because they they they're

627
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: just tired of all the Shenanigans. I mean, I agree

628
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: with all of policies and everything, but I think there's

629
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: some other great candidates out there, like the Santis. So

630
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: if the Democrats want to mess up their chances in

631
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, they need to prevent Trump from running well.

632
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: And by the way, this is gonna be a big debate.

633
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 1: Bridget feels the exact opposite, right, But she was going

634
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: to say, yes, we were going to crawl over glass

635
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: to vote for Donald Trump. And I know there are

636
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: people who just heard Jim that are angry right now

637
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: at gym and they're like, are you kidding me? I

638
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: would like Bridget was going to say, crawl all over

639
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: glass to be able to cast another ballot. We will

640
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: be a forum within the family on the right here

641
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: for both the most ardent Trump supporters and people who

642
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: are also on the right in good faith who think

643
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: maybe there's other candidates. We're gonna have those voices when

644
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: the time comes, because we want to make sure that

645
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 1: we are a big tent on the right. And look,

646
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: so you know, Buck, neither Buck nor I are going

647
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: to endorse anybody in the in the twenty twenty four

648
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: races anything like that. When there is a nominee. Certainly

649
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: we're going to be the audience decides. We present, we

650
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: present information, the audience makes the decision. But I think

651
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a battle royale. And by the way,

652
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be that way on the Democrat

653
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: side too. I think you're gonna really have to buckle

654
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: up for all of twenty twenty three. I think it's

655
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: going to be one heck of a rise. Certainly, buckle

656
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: up for the show to Marrows. It's gonna be amazing.

657
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: I agree,
