1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: you hanging out with us as we are rolling through

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Monday brand new a week, and I do think it's

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: worth contemplating where we are. We mentioned June twenty seventh,

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: the one year anniversary of the disastrous first Biden Trump

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: debate that effectively ended Biden's political career. We had a

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: lot of discussion about the one year anniversary of the

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: near assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania. Today is the anniversary of

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: when Buck Island was officially returned to the sea. As

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: this is almost to the minute as we're starting off

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: the program, the one year anniversary of Joe Biden announcing

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: that he would be withdrawing from the presidential race in

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and endorsing Kamala Harris and all of that.

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: When you talk about June twenty seventh, Joe U thirteenth,

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: and July twenty first, that three week period which was

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: so chaotic for so many people out there, including all

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: of you who hung out with us throughout that entire process.

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: It's really already now in the history books. But I

19
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: do believe that that three week period in almost the

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: lives of anyone out there listening unless you were alive

21
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: when and remember when maybe FDR died in office. I'm

22
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: not sure we've ever seen anything like that. I know

23
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: the JFK assassination and everything that unspooled there was incredibly traumatic.

24
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Nineteen sixty eight MLK, RFK and getting assassinated in the

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: wake of JFK. All of that period. I think probably

26
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: the historical analogy that is most precient, most applicable would

27
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: be nineteen sixty three to nineteen seven, seventy two meter

28
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: ish of what we have been through in the last

29
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: decade or so. But I do think it is worth

30
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: reflecting because I think in the minutes and the days

31
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: and the passions of the moment, sometimes you can lose

32
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: the forest for the trees to think about where we

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: were a year ago and where we are here. As

34
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: effectively the first six months of the Trump administration has

35
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,839
Speaker 1: now been put in place, Buck, I was looking at

36
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: the twenty part promise, basically the platform that Donald Trump

37
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: put in place in twenty twenty four. I'm not sure

38
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: we have ever seen a president do exactly what he

39
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: told us he was going to do more than Trump has.

40
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: If you go back and look at the twenty part

41
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: pledge that he made, and we should link this and

42
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: put it up at clayanbuck dot com because I think

43
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: sometimes people forget what exactly was said. And look, it's politics,

44
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: so there's all sorts of promises made and all these

45
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: different angles that are associated with it. But I truly

46
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: do not believe we have ever seen a president deliver

47
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: more of exactly what he said he would. And we

48
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: have cut five, which is Joe Biden announcing that he

49
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: is dropping out of the race. And here that is

50
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: Remember he didn't actually publicly address it for several days.

51
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he had put up the statement and then

52
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: just basically went dark. And I will say the original

53
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: sin book that everybody I get it. Jake Tapper is

54
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: a big liar, and the pretended he didn't know. But

55
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: from a historical record perspective, they actually do a good

56
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: job of covering all of the pressure on Biden in

57
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: the three weeks post debate that slowly was building that

58
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: really there wasn't a tenable option. Everybody effectively in the

59
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Senate and the House was demanding privately over and over

60
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: again he has to go. But here he is giving

61
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: his farewell address. I think again, thankfully, Biden is God.

62
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: I think it's the worst presidency than any of us

63
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: have lived through. But it is kind of crazy to

64
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: think about all the things that have happened since this moment.

65
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: But listen to Biden saying goodbye.

66
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: You know, in recent weeks has become clear to me.

67
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: I need you to unite my party in this critical endeavor.

68
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world,

69
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 2: my vision for America's future, all merrit of a second term.

70
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: But nothing, nothing can come in the way of saving

71
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: our democracy that includes personal ambition. So I've decided the

72
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: best way forward is the past, the torch to a

73
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: new generation. That's the best way to unite our nation.

74
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: I know there is a time and a place for

75
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: long years of experience in public life. There's also time

76
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 2: and a place for new voices, fresh voices, Yes, younger voices,

77
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: and that time and places now.

78
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: Now the sounds like he's making Yeah, he sounds like

79
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 3: he's making a hostage video. There's no part of Joe Biden.

80
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: Joe Biden exists so that he can run for office

81
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 3: and that he can be, you know, finding some way

82
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: to pillage the Treasury on his own behalf. The whole

83
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: thing is absurd. He didn't want to go. He got

84
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: shoved out kicking and screening, and the Democrats managed to

85
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 3: put themselves in the worst possible situation, which was pushing

86
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: Joe Biden out late in the game. Again, Yes, Buck Island.

87
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 3: Sorry for those of you who signed your name on

88
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: that dotted line.

89
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: It got a little bit Jill buy in property, still

90
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: buying property, in selling it. The market got tough, but

91
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: people were still buying in June, and they really got

92
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: snowed under.

93
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: I'm telling you Biden thought, and I think his immediate

94
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: handlers thought that they'd be able to push through this

95
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: because there was no mechan There was no mechanism to

96
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: push him out. The only way to push him out

97
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 3: was what we saw, which was a dentially every important

98
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: person in the Democrat Party, and I know you said

99
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 3: this was laid out in Faith Papper's book, every person

100
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party saying you aren't just going to cost

101
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 3: us the presidency, You're going to cost us a sixty

102
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: Senate vote threshold and the biggest loss in the House

103
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: we've ever seen, et cetera, et cetera. And that just

104
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 3: says something. By the way, this whole thing about Kamala

105
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: Harris that up until Biden's dementia drop out, they recognized

106
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 3: that he was actually better than Kamala Harris. And the

107
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 3: fact that they ran Kamala Harris, that so many Democrats

108
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 3: voted for it's really just a non Trump vote. This

109
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: is what I've said along, is that they're Democrats. You

110
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 3: get forty eight percent of the American electorate votes for

111
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: any Democrat, doesn't matter who, truly doesn't matter who. But

112
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: Kamala did about as poorly as I think anybody could

113
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 3: have in the situation. I think she was honestly the

114
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: worst candidate. She makes John Kerry look like a fabulous

115
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: presidential candidate by comparison.

116
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: I let's play this too. By the way, not to gloat,

117
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: but my stake was amazing. But this was the day

118
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: when and this is not even my call, this is

119
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: producer Greg. If you want to take up arms against him.

120
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: Buck number one on the cut sheet with a highlight

121
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: through it. September twenty ninth, twenty twenty two, when we

122
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: officially made the steak bet on Biden running. Listen to

123
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: cut one, Buck Sexton. We have a steak. Bet we

124
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: have many stake But I do not believe that Joe

125
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Biden is going to run for reelection in twenty twenty

126
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: four because I think even Democrats are going to have

127
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that his mental state is so deteriorated that

128
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the capacity to do it. In the

129
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: wake of this viral incident yesterday, Are you sticking to

130
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: your guns that Biden is going to run? Oh? Absolutely,

131
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: you're sticking to the guns. I'm sticking with it.

132
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: I think that they they almost take I think there

133
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: are a lot of Democrats who privately take some glee

134
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: in we can even make this guy president.

135
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: Can I just say he did run, So it's a

136
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: little it's a little uh, you know what I mean.

137
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: It's a little Haye. He did run.

138
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 3: He bailed, but he was the Democrat nominee until the

139
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: very last second when he finally fell apart. They should

140
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: have pulled him obviously. That was twenty twenty two, Just

141
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: by way of reference, two years before Biden's running. I'm like,

142
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: he's gonna do it. He's gonna do it. That was

143
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: two years of additional brain deterioration, Clay, and he did

144
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: run until July of the election year, which is insane.

145
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: I and again, what I will say about the book

146
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: original sin it it really is analogous to when the

147
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: king has lost his marbles historically, because thankfully we don't

148
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: have that many American president analogies where the president is

149
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: unable to do the job. There's the Woodrow Wilson stroke

150
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: story where Edith Wilson basically ran the presidency. Now that

151
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: was in a different era. Certainly FDR had many different

152
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: health related issues and should not have run for another

153
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: term in forty four. What I would put a star

154
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: on for that one is We're in the middle of

155
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: World War two, and I don't think it would have

156
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: been smart even if you knew FDR was potentially going

157
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: to die. That's one where I would say, Hey, you

158
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: don't want to switch chief executives in the middle of

159
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: a global world war and try to bring in somebody

160
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: new change office in January of forty five. How might

161
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: that have changed?

162
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: Now?

163
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: Yes, as you well know, we almost in a perhaps

164
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: worse situation. It's tough, you know, world War two versus

165
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: the Civil War, which one was worse for America, but

166
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: they wanted to They came very close Republicans came very

167
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: close to pushing Lincoln out.

168
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, McClellan almost beat him. I mean, it's one of

169
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: the I think most compelling stories for those of you

170
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: that are history nerds. The eighteen sixty four election, I

171
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: think doesn't get enough attention because people have so lionized

172
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: Lincoln that the idea there would have been opposition to Lincoln,

173
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: or that he wasn't fervently ripped to shreds by the

174
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: media when he was in office, is completely forgotten. But

175
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: Lincoln ran against the former head of the Union Army,

176
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: who was running as the Democrat on the ticket of hey,

177
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: let's just basically settle with the South, we'll let them

178
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: go our way, We'll go our way, no more war.

179
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: And it was very close until Sherman took Atlanta. It

180
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: was very unclear what exactly was going to happen in

181
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: that race. The taking of Atlanta was seen as a

182
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: profoundly momentous moment in terms of the trajectory. If Sherman

183
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: doesn't take Atlanta. Frankly, for those of you who are

184
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: real Civil War history nerds like me, if Jefferson Davis

185
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: doesn't put John bell Hood in as the commanding Officer

186
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: in the Western It was called the Western Theater at

187
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: the time, even though it was just Tennessee, Georgia. I

188
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: don't know that Lincoln wins reelection because I think if

189
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: he had left Joe Johnson, and Johnson was the consummate

190
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: just dig new earthworks retreat retreat. I'm not sure Atlanta

191
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: gets taken before the election.

192
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 3: To bring to bring up to the the more current

193
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 3: election for a second, just one thing, Clay, I believe

194
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: that Democrats managed to we've said, the biggest own goal

195
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: in political history, which is one shorthand way of doing it.

196
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 3: But they they were so sure and this is a

197
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 3: little bit of their come uppance for what they pulled

198
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: off in.

199
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: The mid terms.

200
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: When granted they they were able to use abortion fear

201
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: mongering and defensive democracy through a very narrow slice of

202
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,479
Speaker 3: the electorate in very specific places to get the Even

203
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: though Florida had like a twenty point swing and there

204
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 3: were some play there were New York was much better

205
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: than California, was much better for Republicans Republicans than a

206
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 3: lot of people thought it would be.

207
00:11:58,520 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a pretty big win for the

208
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Red in some blue.

209
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 3: States, in the key states, they obviously pulled off a

210
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 3: very disappointing for Republicans election in the midterms. But Clay,

211
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: I think they convinced themselves that they had the plan,

212
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: and the plan was force everybody to coalesce around Trump

213
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 3: as the nominee in the primary, and then we will

214
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 3: destroy him. And what they really did was create you know,

215
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: it's like they hit Trump with Gamma rays. They created

216
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 3: Super Trump. Yeah, and that actually goes to what you

217
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: said too. I think they didn't realize when he was

218
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 3: making these promises in the last election a year ago,

219
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: not a long time ago, a year ago, when he

220
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: was promising to do I think they thought it was

221
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: all bluster and they are caught totally wrongfooted, and they

222
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: are freaked out because he's actually doing it.

223
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: He's actually trying to do these things. I think one

224
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: of the great historical again it's hard to predict history

225
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: caveats in place all those things Democrats believed in the

226
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned they could effectively

227
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: run the twenty twenty two playbook again in twenty twenty

228
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: four and mobilize mass turnout. I think what you're seeing,

229
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know how many of you feel this.

230
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: Abortion doesn't even really feel like a political issue to

231
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: me very much anymore, by which I mean national political issue.

232
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: If you desperately care how many people do about what

233
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: the abortion laws are in your state, it's a state issue.

234
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: Go work hard, elect legislatures, governors, people who want to

235
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: can implement the policies you like. But the idea that, hey,

236
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court and who's going to be on the

237
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: ticket and it's going to mobilize women, I think like

238
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: the whole Hey, the world is going to end if

239
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade is overturned. It didn't happen.

240
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 3: And I every time of a panic, every time you

241
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 3: talk about mobilizing women in context of that election, I

242
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 3: think about that the best. Well, well, well, I'm a

243
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 3: political hand of lesson the women of America. Their voices

244
00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: are good to be heard. Remember her store, the guy

245
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 3: buying the champagne, and she was, she was. That is

246
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: one of the great, one of the great random viral

247
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: political moments in recent memory.

248
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: That was so fun. She got super famous. All right.

249
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 3: The Trump administration is determined to see our nation's economy

250
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: thrive again. You see the Wall Street Journal today. We'll

251
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: talk about this. The US economy is regaining its swagger.

252
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 3: That was the main headline today. But there's some interesting

253
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: stuff that you may not have heard about that could

254
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: benefit you, specifically big time. So according to former presidential

255
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: advisor Jim Rickards, same guy who correctly predicted the two

256
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: thousand and eight crash, Trump's twenty sixteen victory the twenty

257
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 3: twenty pandemic, he thinks as a plan that could be

258
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: bigger than anybody's comprehending right now, who doesn't see this

259
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: next thing coming? Jim Records believes President Trump is about

260
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: to unleash a one hundred and fifty trillion dollars state

261
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: owned asset that has been hidden for over a century.

262
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: This could trigger an economic boon not seen in a

263
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: century in one small sector of a market skyrocketing as

264
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 3: a result. Act quickly on this one. Remember pre as

265
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 3: a Trump moves fast, you want to move too. Before

266
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: this becomes common knowledge. As this breaks his mainstream news,

267
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: that opportunity diminishes with the minute. So go check out

268
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: what Jim's got to tell you. Go to Gym's interview

269

Speaker 3: And welcome back into Clay and Bok. Got a lot

276
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: to discuss here with you today in the world of

277
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 3: the news. Big things coming in from over the weekend.

278
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: For one thing, I love this headline. I mentioned it before,

279
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 3: but Clay in the Wall Street Journal. I know some

280
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: people are booing right now because it's the Wall People

281
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: are a little annoyed, rightly so at the Wall Street

282
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: Journal right now. But they do do good reporting on

283
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: the economy still, they know that. Not so good on

284
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: the Epstein stuff, but they're good on the economy. The

285
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: US economy is regaining its swagger. Companies, consumers starting to

286
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 3: splurge again. We're rolling, baby, that's going. The Trump economy

287
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: is moving and all that fear over tariffs is dissipating.

288
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: Just wait till we get a you know, some real

289
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: rate cuts kicking in. I think things were really good thing.

290
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: Tulci Gabbard, by the way, has demanded more action and

291
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 3: investigation over officials from the Obama administration who used the

292
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: Russia collusion hoax that broke. I think right after we

293
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 3: were on the show Friday, Trump this is right up

294
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: Clay's alley. Trump calls for the Washington Commanders to change

295
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: their names back to the Redskins. He posted this on

296
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 3: truth Social which I think is particularly interesting, and also

297
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: he said that Adam Schiff is a quote fief who

298
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: should be prosecuted. A lot of that coming in oh

299
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: In the WNBA showed up to a game saying, pay

300
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: us what you owe us. Clay, I thought they were

301
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 3: getting paid more than they were owed based on economics.

302
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: So which one of these is your favorite? We can

303
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: go to any of these or wherever you want to

304
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: go next.

305
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: We got to t And by the way, also Hunter

306
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: Biden did an interview which is delusional, and we're going

307
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: to have some fun with that as well. But I

308
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: do think the Redskins angle is super interesting to me

309
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: as well. Trump over the weekend demanding that the Washington

310
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Redskins and the Cleveland Indians bring back their former names.

311
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: And I think it's it's illustrative of effectively an erasure

312
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: of much of the last seven or eight years, and

313
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: it's important. It's a signifier. I understand some of you say, well, symbol,

314
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: there are other things to focus on. I think erasing

315
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: the excesses of the cultural far left move is actually

316
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: profoundly significant, and I don't think it's happened that often

317
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: or that recently in the United States. We'll talk about that,

318
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: but in the meantime, our sponsor pure talk great deal

319

Speaker 1: and buck to switch to America's wireless company Puretalk. That's

334
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: pound two five zero, say Clay and Buck, Welcome back

335
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show. We got a bunch

336
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: to dive into Hunter Biden. These quotes. I can't believe

337
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 1: that they are real. We're gonna have some fun with him.

338
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: But I wanted to tell you guys, I love this.

339
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: The YouTube channel is on fire, and you know this

340
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: is interesting. More people now watch video on YouTube than

341
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: watch video on Netflix, than watch video on Disney, then

342
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: watch video on television. So I mean basically YouTube has

343
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: taken over video in America. And Buck has put out

344
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: a challenge to you guys that if you can get

345
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: us to ninety thousand subscribers, he will do a video

346
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: with Ginger, his lovely dog, and their chubby baby. And

347
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: if you like chubby babies, I mean their three month old.

348
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: Speed has unbelievable chubby baby pictures up right now. I

349
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: think there may be up at clayanbuck dot com, but

350
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: it is pretty outstanding. But we have added thousands of subscribers,

351
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: and I think this. I don't even know if Buck

352
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: has seen these. I was playing around. I like to

353
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: go just look at the data point publicly. I knew

354
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: that YouTube was exploding. I knew that we needed to

355
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: be over one hundred thousand subscribers there at a minimum,

356
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: and by the way, as I talk to you right now,

357
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: eighty two and a half thousand subscribers. So I want

358
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: this over one hundred. But the impact here is already

359
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: pretty pretty stellar. I don't even know if you saw

360
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: this book two of the videos that we put up

361
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: on Friday. As the YouTube audience grows, it's just a younger,

362
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: more dynamic argument culturally that we can continue to have

363
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: and impact a lot of different generations. Our discussion of

364
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Tulsa Gabbert about the declassification bombshell sixty one thousand views

365
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: on YouTube on Friday. That is one of the biggest

366
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: videos we've ever had on YouTube. And then Colbert getting

367
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: canceled thirty thousand views. Those just went up on Friday,

368
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: two of the biggest videos that we have had there.

369
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: I want you, guys to make this show pop on

370
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: YouTube like it pops in everywhere else, and by the way,

371
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: you can stream it. I am told that I look

372
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: ridiculous right now. I look like Kramer because for some reason,

373
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: my white Crocket coffee t shirt is showing up and

374
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: I look like basically Kramer after he went to the

375
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: tanning bed. I am told so if you want to

376
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: be enterted. They actually asked me, Hey, can you go

377
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: just during the commercial break, Hey can you go claim

378
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: chain shirts? Because you look too ridiculous in that white

379
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: T shirt that you're in right now. I said no.

380
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: This is an incentive for people to go subscribe at YouTube.

381
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: You can see the video. I want us going over

382
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand, but thank you for people who are

383
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: watching these videos and a big deal big Basically everybody

384
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: has their own television network now on YouTube. We want

385
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: this show to be big there. Soon in the months ahead,

386
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: we're going to be able to put all three full

387
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: hours up and you'll be able to watch the whole

388
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: show on video. We love the five hundred and fifty

389
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: five stations out there, but it's important to follow the

390
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: audience people. Now, this is kind of crazy. People now

391
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: watch videos of podcasts more than they listened to podcasts.

392
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: This evolution, I'll be frank, I never saw it coming.

393
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: I didn't think people were going to be sitting around

394
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: watching videos of people having conversations that are primarily designed

395
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: for audio. But this is where they are. They are

396
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: wildly popular. So if you would search out Clay Travis,

397
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: if you would search out the Buck Sexton Show, I

398
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: want you to drive those numbers over one hundred thousand

399
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: subscribers and we're going to be doing more and more

400
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: cool content for you there. Okay, speaking of crazy content,

401
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: we have got our good buddy Hunter Biden, aka the

402
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: smartest man that Joe Biden has ever known. He has

403
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: now decided that he needs to weigh in on a

404
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: huge variety of different topics. Here is a profanity laced

405
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: rant about who's going to clean your hotel room? Who's

406
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: gonna wash your dishes? This is Hunter Biden. We've had

407
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: to bleep it out. Hopefully we got all the bleeps.

408
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: Interview that has just gone viral. Cut twenty nine.

409
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 5: Listening all these democrats say you have to talk about

410
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 5: and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration. You,

411
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 5: how do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How

412
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 5: do you think you got food on your table? Who

413
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 5: do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think

414
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 5: does your garden? Who do you think is here by

415
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 5: the sheer? Just grit and will that they've figured out

416
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 5: a way to get here because they thought that they

417
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 5: could give theirselves in their family a better chance. And

418
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 5: he's somehow convinced all of us that these people are criminals.

419
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden, I really, first of all, go away. Hold on.

420
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 3: You're not really giving him his due, because if someone's

421
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 3: going to know about breaking the law, it's Hunter Biden.

422
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: So if someone's going to be sitting there talking about

423
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 3: crime and heading away with it, I might add, Hunter Biden,

424
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 3: Clay kind of has a PhD, so maybe we should

425
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 3: give him a little more leeway to talk about the

426
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 3: capers that are being pulled off.

427
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: I can't believe some of these quotes. We're going to

428
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: play some more of this audio, but I do think

429
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: it is instructive of where Democrat party arguments have gone.

430
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: They have effectively argued, hey, who's going to be our slaves?

431
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: Who's going to do these jobs that nobody else will

432
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: do at low wages? And I think most Republicans just say, well,

433
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: maybe you should pay Americans more to do those jobs.

434
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: I've got a crazy idea, and it may be totally irrational.

435
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: Some of you may think that I'm bonkers for this idea.

436
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: I think most rational Americans, if they feel like they

437
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: are getting a fair wage for a job, will do it.

438
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: And maybe there should be a fair wage for some

439
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: of these jobs, and maybe Americans would come back in

440
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: and do those shops. Now. Look, I understand there are

441
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: certain parts of the country where there just aren't enough

442
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: people to do jobs. And I would also submit that

443
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: maybe everybody doesn't have to live in New York City.

444
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: Maybe everybody doesn't have to live in la Maybe if

445
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: the cost of living in a city is super high.

446
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: There's actually a speaking of the Wall Street Journal, as

447
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: reading an article over the weekend, a lot of so

448
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: called second tier cities are starting to explode in population

449
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: because they're more affordable and the jobs are pretty good.

450
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: There a lot of people, for instance, leaving Atlanta and

451
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: going to Greenville, South Carolina, or Chattanooga, Tennessee. Some people

452
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: leaving Nashville going to Huntsville, Alabama. Shouldn't we shouldn't we

453
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: encourage people to go to places where they can have

454
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: a better quality of living. You don't all have to

455
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: live in the exact same big cities and struggle to

456
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: survive there. There's lots of good jobs all over the country.

457
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: Find a place, go there. Raleigh, North Carolina is another

458
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: one that has exploded in popularity. And make a good living.

459
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: I mean this seems like kind of the basis of

460
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: why we have fifty states. If you're not living in

461
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: a good quality of life where you are right now,

462
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: find somewhere else better. Yeah.

463
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 3: I think if I were advising anybody, I know we've

464
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: got college age or recent college grad or just that

465
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: age some of you didn't go to college or doing

466
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: other things who are listening, And it's a little bit

467
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 3: like the advice I get people now about college, which

468
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 3: I'm just going to say I didn't do this myself.

469
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: I looked at the US News and World Report rankings

470
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: based in the schools I went to. I visited them,

471
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: but I had this mentality of you get into the

472
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: highest ranked school, you get into right, And I think

473
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 3: that's the wrong mentality for the most part. A little

474
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 3: different with something like law school. Play went to a

475
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: fancy law school. If you're going to go to law school,

476
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 3: go to a fancy one because it's very expensive, and

477
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: you know, but for undergrad go where you want to go.

478
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: Why am I saying this same thing about where you

479
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 3: want to raise your family? Figure out where you actually

480
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 3: want to be. I think it's I think it's an

481
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 3: e All ravakan quote I said. We got to have

482
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: him on some time. I sided enough quotes for him.

483
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: I just think he's a brilliant guy. He says, the

484
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: two biggest decisions that will affect your life are where

485
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 3: you're live and who you marry. Yeah, bigger than jobs

486
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: come and go, even careers come and go. You know,

487
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: Clay and I were both doing totally different jobs before

488
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 3: we got into media careers. You can switch who you marry,

489
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 3: where you live, you know, or who do you build

490
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 3: your family with, and where you choose to be. And

491
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 3: America's got a ton of great places that you can

492
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: build with the place around you, right. I think it's

493
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 3: very different when when we were coming out of school

494
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 3: as well, early twenties, if you wanted certain jobs, you

495
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: had to be in certain places. You had to be

496
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 3: in New York, you had to be in la maybe Chicago,

497
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 3: if the Midwest. You want a big law firm, you

498
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 3: want a kind of a certain kind of financial job.

499
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,479
Speaker 1: That's all changed, man. You know.

500
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 3: The only one of the only good things about COVID

501
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: is that it made a lot of people explore outside

502
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: of their own universe within America of where they could live.

503
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 3: And also it made remote work or mobile work, you know,

504
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 3: jobs where you can go different places and travel more.

505
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: I think far more appealing and more normalized if you will.

506
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: So, I think that's all. That's all to the good.

507
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 3: And you know, high tax states, if you do them,

508
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 3: I c This is the conversation I've had with people.

509
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: I've actually had this with friends of mine, particularly some

510
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 3: people who are my like little sister's age, so eight

511
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 3: years younger than me. I've had this conversation with them

512
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: about in recent years because they're now early thirties and.

513
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: They're like, New York is so expensive.

514
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: I'll have my sister and I have this conversation new

515
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: York so expensive, and I say, yeah, now do fourteen

516
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: percent of your income every year for the next twenty years.

517
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: Look at that number, and then look at what that

518
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: would be if you just put it as Clay Finance

519
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: Clay Gordon Gecko Clay. You put it in the S

520
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 3: and P five hundred in an ETF with low costs.

521
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 3: Anybody can do this. It's about as easy as opening

522
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: a bank account and see what that money's worth in

523
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 3: twenty years. It's really tough to want to be in

524
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: one in Massachusetts, California, New York to start out. I mean,

525
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: it's it's almost unless you have no choice. Unless you know,

526
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: I have to work at Goldman Sachs and I have

527
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 3: to be in New York for it, whatever it may be,

528
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 3: I would There is no I've spent a lot of

529
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,239
Speaker 3: time in California. I've spent a decent amount of time

530
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 3: in New York. They're fun to visit. I like a

531
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 3: lot of people who live there. There is a zero

532
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: percent chance that I would give the government fifteen percent

533
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: of my income every year for the opportunity to live

534
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: in New York, Chicago or LA or San Francisco or

535
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 3: any other city.

536
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't do it. I don't understand if you

537
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: have the choice, how you would choose to do that.

538
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: And I think what COVID showed to a lot of

539
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: people is there are incredible opportunities all over the country

540
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: for people to move and be able to have a

541
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: higher quality of life, a more affordable quality of life,

542
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: better place to raise your kids, better place to live.

543
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: And already, I mean I get fed up about this. Already.

544
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: I pay nearly forty percent tax rate, even without talking

545
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: about my property taxes, and and I'm fortunately I live

546
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. I don't have state income taxes. I don't

547
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: think we talked about enough about this. I do this

548
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: show for five days Monday and Tuesday. I do this

549
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: show for the federal government. Think about how crazy that is?

550
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: You too, both of us sit here every Monday Tuesday.

551
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: You hear us, Uncle Sam gets everything that we make.

552
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: We just basically are working for the federal government on

553
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday. And a lot of you. I don't

554
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: think people do the math and sit around and think

555
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: about it. But wait a minute, on Monday Tuesday, however

556
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: many days of the week you work. If you work

557
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: five days, it's a good chance that about two of

558
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: those days every like, you don't start making your own

559
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: money to Wednesday. This is crazy, and it's just accepted

560
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: because we've come to expect that the federal government's just

561
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: going to take, like a massive vacuum cleaner, huge percentages

562
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: of our money that we're working for. Do I feel

563
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: like my federal government is giving me such good returns

564
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: that I should have to work for them every Monday

565
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday, however you want to

566
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: classify it, No, I do not, And I think a

567
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: lot of you out there when you actually put it

568
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: in that context. You know, you can put it in

569
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: context of the months, how many of us? Basically, I

570
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: work for the government Monday too, sorry, January, February, March,

571
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: April into May. Like, that doesn't seem very fair to me,

572
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: So they take fifteen percent more. Do I want to

573
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: work for the State of New York for fifteen percent

574
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: of my daily time?

575
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 4: No?

576
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: I do not. Do I want to work for the

577
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: state of California or the state of Illinois, No, I

578
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: do not. I think a lot of Americans are getting

579
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: fed up with it.

580
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 6: But Gavin's so grateful, Clay whenever you go to LA

581
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 6: for doing sports stuff, you pay a little bit into

582
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 6: the gaving fund, and he'll have you out for chardonnay.

583
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 6: You know, he's just so pleased, so happy that you're

584
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 6: paying into the giant black hole of California's finances. What

585
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 6: was the deficit they ran this past is huge for

586
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 6: a state. Oh, bill billions and billions of dollars.

587
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, turns out even when you're taxing the you know

588
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: what out of people not enough. Isn't that interest never

589
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 3: enough for these communists, is it? Look don't be caught

590
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: unprepared when severe storms or emergencies hit thin through a

591
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: communication plan for you and your extended family. One part

592
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 3: of that is having rapid radios walkie talkies. Honestly, I

593
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: would just have these set up with your go bag

594
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 3: and make sure you've got family members who've also got

595
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 3: them so they know they can reach you, you can reach

596
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: them when things get rough. Rapid radios are modern day

597

599

Speaker 1: Uh.

632
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 3: So we have so much to discuss here. We've got

633
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 3: the Russia collusion hoax stuff, which I could be wrong, Clay,

634
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 3: but I think it's not going very far, meaning I

635
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 3: don't think anyone's going to prison over this. I tend

636
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 3: to always I think. I don't think I've ever said

637
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 3: someone's not going to prison in these big stories, and

638
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: they actually have gone to prison.

639
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: So there's that. But I actually wanted.

640
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: To do, you know, Clay, I would like to do

641
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 3: a little sports talk if I now, a little sports

642
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: talk coming up here in a few minutes, because I

643
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 3: think that Trump switching names and or telling people that

644
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: like the names should go back to the old names

645
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 3: for these teams. And I think that there has been

646
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 3: this mindset among conservatives for a long time of we

647
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 3: just were trying to stop the madness and culturally stop

648
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 3: the bleeding. Yep, Trump takes the Trump is taking the

649
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 3: approach of no, why don't we actually just set things

650
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: right the way it were, wasn't it. In one of

651
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 3: the Superman episodes where Lois Lane like dies and he

652
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 3: turns the earth, he like spins the earth backwards, and

653
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 3: then he saves her.

654
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: Right. Trump is kind of pulling that a little bit here.

655
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 3: He's saying, we can actually go back in time and

656
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 3: go back to the America that we were used to.

657
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: I'm glad because I do think this is important. And

658
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know, Trump over the

659
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: weekend said hey, I want the Washington Redskins name back,

660
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: and I want the Cleveland Indians name back. And some

661
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: people immediately say, well, isn't there more significant things to

662
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: focus on, which is what you can say basically for

663
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: anything at any point in time, depending on what you

664
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: consider to be the most significant. But I think what

665
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: you hit on, Buck is important. Trump is trying to

666
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: reverse the entire woke era, and there were lots of

667
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: reasonable people, and I would like to think that I

668
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: was a reasonable person who thought, hey, let's just negotiate

669
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: over these mascot names. If we give up Redskins, if

670
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: we give up Indians, eventually they'll stop. It didn't happen.

671
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: The Atlanta Braves are a next in line. Oh, you

672
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: can't do the tomahawk chop anymore. The Kansas City Chiefs

673
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: and this is writ large all over the entirety of

674
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: the nation, where they've come after mascot name. I think

675
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: what Trump is doing here is actually symbolically hugely important

676
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: and significant and as an important cultural marker. We'll talk

677
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: about that, plus more crazy hunter By and Neck
