1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Later on this hour, we'll be talking 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: about the primaries in California today. You could see also 4 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: a recall of Chesap Budan, who is a top contender 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: for worst prosecutor in a major city in America, which 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: is a very crowded field. I might ain't an award 7 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: you want to get, not award you want to get 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: these days, but that's one that he may in fact win, 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: so to speak. We'll see. Plus, I told you some 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: stuff going on at our southern border. We will not 11 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: forget that story, will not just let that slide. Of course, 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: the Democrat media doesn't want to talk about it. We'll 13 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: get to that in just a moment. First up, though, 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: this is quite a headline. Goldman Sachs predicts one hundred 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: and forty dollars oil as gas prices spiked near five 16 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: dollars a gallon. I think, just when that's twenty four hours, 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: what's it up a nationally? Five cents? It's tough to 18 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: keep up up five cents a gallon, tough to keep 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: up with how many records you got to give credit 20 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: to the Biden administration, Clay, they do set a lot 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: of records just for things like inflation and the price 22 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: of gas and general awfulness and incompetence. But they are 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: illegal people streaming across the illegal streaming across the border. 24 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: I mean, basically, whatever number you don't want to be 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: setting a record in the Biden administration is setting records there. 26 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: And there's something that's going on that I just wanted 27 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: to highlight before maybe we transitioned a little bit of 28 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: a border discussion coming up here, because there are things 29 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: happening to the border that people don't know and need 30 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: to know about. I've been talking to contacts down there 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: and researching this once and more. But first off, Clay, 32 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: you know, while we have the price of gas obviously spiking, 33 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: and this does really talking about things that move the 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: needle price of gas, people get upset that don't like it. 35 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: And Democrats know this is a problem for their power. 36 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: So this does matter to them too. They know that 37 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: this could be a huge vulne nobility going into the midterms. Okay, 38 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: they also they'll want us to believe that this has 39 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: nothing to do with Biden canceling Keystone, Excel or just 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: the general regulatory environment from the federal government for new exploration, 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: for leases for oil. The hostility of the Democrat Party, 42 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: they promise you they're lying, by the way, has nothing 43 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: to do with the price of gas, with domestic production, etc. 44 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: The willingness to even buy it from Saudi Arabia or Venezuela, 45 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: anything other than make it ourselves because of the climate. Meanwhile, 46 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: you see, Biden has has called for the Defense Production 47 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: Acts to be invoked for solar panels. So they clearly 48 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: think that they can really handle this situation, the energy crisis, 49 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: the Jimmy Carter style heading for not just shortages but 50 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: maybe gas lines. Who knows. They think they can handle 51 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: this by invoking a this is supposed to be either 52 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: wartime or pandemic time. Essentially, federal government all hands on deck. 53 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 1: They're doing that with solar panels. Jean Pierre, the White 54 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: House Press Secretary, was asked about it. Here's actually respond President. 55 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: You know, when he takes the Defense Production Act is 56 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: to make sure that he's delivering for the American people. 57 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: So for this particular clean energy Defense Production Act, he 58 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: is invoking the Defense Production Act to rapidly expand domestic 59 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: production of solar panel parts, building insulation, heat pumps, and more. 60 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: The emergency in the solar industry, Well, this is just 61 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: a step to get to a place where we do 62 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: have a clean energy arsenal. And so this is a 63 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: very important part of the President's This is a very 64 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: important part of the President's agenda. I just first of all, 65 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: that was a good question fromever that reporter is great 66 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: the emergency, there is none when it comes to solar. 67 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: There's a gas and fossil fuel emergency. But notice how 68 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: quickly they go to the Defense Production Act for solar panels, Clay, 69 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: not so fast to pull that trigger for baby formula. 70 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: In fact, Buck, they tried to avoid having to do 71 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: it for baby formula. And I think it's probably for 72 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: an optics related reason, because when you are trying admitting 73 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 1: that you need this Act to be enacted, it's because 74 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: there's a crisis, right, And a lot of people discussed 75 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: this surrounding the early days of COVID when Buck, you 76 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: remember this, every question that Donald Trump got it felt 77 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: like in early March was are we going to have 78 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: enough ventilators? Can you guarantee that we're going to have 79 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: enough ventilators? Because remember early on the idea was people 80 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: who were COVID hospitalized should be treated with ventilators. Since then, 81 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: it's later emerged that ventilators are not the appropriate treatment 82 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: for most people. I don't even know what happened to 83 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: all those ventilators that we produced, the vast majority of which, 84 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: as Donald Trump predicted, we would not need. And I 85 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: think just got basically warehouses full of ventilators now which 86 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: are mostly unnecessary. Now the baby formula we're going to need. 87 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: But these climate people, they've lost their mind. Buck. They're 88 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: tweeting all this week about whether they should have kids 89 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: or not because of the climate impact that kids have. 90 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: And I gotta be honest with you, if you are 91 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: deciding not to have children because you're worried about climate change, 92 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: you are next level crazy. Did you see, Buck, the 93 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: woman who tied herself to the French open net and 94 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: said we only have like a thousand and eighty three 95 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: days or whatever. They keep giving us these dates into 96 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: the future, and they keep saying, oh, it's gonna be 97 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: impossible to live fifteen years from now, twenty years from now. 98 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: AOC said, you know, basically the country's going to be one. 99 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: Yet these same rich people are not selling their beachside 100 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: colossal mansions for losses in Malibu, which is probably as 101 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: close to La climate change activism central as we have 102 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: in this country. You know what mansions on the beach 103 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: and Malibu were going for right now, Buck, They ain't 104 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: going down. They're going for record all time rates. They're 105 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: not putting any actual credence. Any of these supposed left 106 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: wing climate change obsessives are not living their own lives 107 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: to reflect that they're in any way concerned about rising 108 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: seas or their own property. But to really break it down, 109 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: wasn't an awesome to see global eco preachers, the truly 110 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: sanctimonious and utterly worthless Harry and Meghan. They took a 111 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars private jet flight back from the 112 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: Jubilee to LA and what the Daily Mail describes as 113 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,119 Speaker 1: a Russian oligarch style private jet for people who don't 114 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: care about the planet. So not even like a small 115 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: they took like a big private jet all the way 116 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: from the UK to LA Is it crazy to me? 117 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: By the way, that doesn't even seem like it. It 118 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: seems like it should cost more if you've got a 119 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: big jet. I mean, think about I don't gonna have 120 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: to pay about what you have to pay to me 121 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: in first class to fly to Europe. Two hundred thousand 122 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: dollars doesn't even seem I mean, first of all, of course, 123 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: it's crazy. Uh, what I'm saying is I think they 124 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: got a deal on that two hundred thousand. I think 125 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: it's probably like a five hundred thousand dollars flight. Well. Nonetheless, 126 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: to leave the Juwbilee as the as the Great Eco 127 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: Warriors megan and they got booed too, did you see that? 128 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: But they were making public appearances. They're they're like a 129 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: less They're like a less classy version of the Kardashian phenomenon. 130 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: It's horrible. I don't understand why anybody likes this. You 131 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: think they get divorced, probably other than I don't like 132 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: the Kardashian thing either, So don't even what I'm saying. 133 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to find I wonder on some level, 134 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: and I obviously you I think to test the Royal 135 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: family in general, right, But so I'm an American, I'm 136 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: kind of fascinated by the Royal family. It seems to 137 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: me like Harry was a fairly normal dude, and he's 138 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: gone completely off the rail since he got married, which 139 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: is emblematic. Everybody out there listening knows somebody who buck 140 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: You've been to a lot of weddings over the years. 141 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: Everybody out there, just like I have, knows people who 142 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: have gotten married and gone off the rails in their marriage. 143 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: And it feels like Harry's emblematic of that, which happens 144 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: to a lot of people. Marrying the wrong person can 145 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: ruin you no matter who you are. That is reality. Unfortunately, 146 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: I've seen it, Amber Heard. I mean, Johnny Depp is 147 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: like the most successful actor of his generation in terms 148 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: of beloved nature. He marries Amber Heard. Now, he ended 149 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: up winning the defamation trial, but his whole life, it appears, 150 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: completely fell apart in that marriage. I'm gonna bring this 151 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: now full circle back to the Defense Production Act because 152 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to. They're talking to Johnny dep trawl 153 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: here Defense Production Act. Rick Perry, who was the Energy 154 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: Energy Secretary under the Trump administration, pointed out that you're 155 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: you're invoking the Defense Production Act. The Biden regime is 156 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: doing that for something that is at maximum twenty percent 157 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: of our energy needs in the first place. The question 158 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: I have for the Transportation Secretary, is what's the emergency 159 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: in the renewable industry that you would put the DPA 160 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: to work. Then this is a section of our power 161 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: industry that produces at max about twenty percent. So the 162 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: idea that they're going to go use the DPA in 163 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: the solar and in the wind side of things is 164 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: just beyond me. If you don't support fossil fuels, and 165 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: if you don't support nuclear energy, you are going to 166 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: be in a full's air and to try to fuel 167 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: this country and certainly the world. He's one hundred percent right, 168 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: by the way. And one of the parts of the 169 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: enviro Lacko theology that doesn't ever get enough attention is 170 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: that this this green New Deal stuff that's pushed and 171 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: that's sort of now a catch all for these you know, 172 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: climate change activists, mentality, all the rest of it, which 173 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: which runs the Democrat Party on the environment. Now, it's 174 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: really damaging for developing countries. It's really damaging for countries 175 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 1: that need to increase their ability to produce energy, which 176 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: is why then it always transitions to what we should 177 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: subsidize them, right, we should subsidize them, But that's just 178 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: now global socialism using energy as the excuse. Rick Perry, 179 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: good dude, his family big by the way. I think 180 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: we're about to be on in College Station, Texas a 181 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: and m Aggy fans, so I've gotten to hang out 182 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: with them in the sports context. Really good group. But 183 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: what he's hitting on is a big issue that doesn't 184 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: get enough discussion, which is, you can be in favor 185 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: of Green New Deal energy, and as you said, it's 186 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: kind of a catch all. But let's just say you're 187 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: in favor of wind power, and you're in favor of 188 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: solar power, and you're in favor of electric vehicles and 189 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: all those things. We don't have the capacity to utilize 190 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: that form of energy to replace the energy that we 191 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: are producing now using traditional methods of energy, whether it's gas, 192 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: whether it's coal, whether it's whether it's nuclear, right, we 193 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: don't have the ability to do that. And Buck, they're 194 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: talking about rolling blackouts all over the country this summer 195 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: as a result of not having the energy infrastructure to 196 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: be able to cool down people's homes, and I don't 197 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: think this is getting enough discussion. I mean, we're kind 198 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: of if you were sketching out apocalyptic scenarios in the 199 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: United States that seem like they would never actually her. 200 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: Having to have Australia and Europe bring us baby formula 201 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: is an apocalyptic scenario, right, that things have gone so 202 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: bad here that we are the country that needs the 203 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: largess of other countries in order to feed our babies, 204 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: and that we are a country where we're going to 205 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: tell people, Hey, you may not have the electricity that 206 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: you need, and so we're going to ask people to 207 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: turn down, to turn up the temperature gauges and everything 208 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: else so that we can monitor the electricity needs in 209 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: this country. I mean that is something that occurs buck. 210 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: I've lived in the Caribbean for a while. Every now 211 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: and then their electric circuit would just get overloaded and 212 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: it would just get shut down, and you would just 213 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: get used to the fact that you're working. You're working, 214 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: and if you don't have a generator, boom, you lose 215 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: electricity in your house. We're gonna be doing that all 216 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 1: over the United States. Is a third world country in 217 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: the Caribbean where that's become commonplace. I've never even heard 218 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: of it happening in the United States on a regular basis. Boom, 219 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: that's where we're headed. And I think a lot of 220 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: it is because we're trying to make this transition to 221 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: the Green New Deal ideals while not having the infrastructure 222 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: to support our electric and energy needs. Come back in 223 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: a little bit talk about the situation of the border. 224 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: I know we got a little more fired off about 225 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: energy there than I had anticipated, but it's super important, 226 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: so that's going to happen. We also have a special 227 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: guest who will be joining us at the bottom of 228 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: the hour, John Phillips.

With each mortgage free home provided to a 232 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: family in need, the Talunta Towers Foundation delivers on its 233 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices America's 234 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: greatest heroes have made for us.

Will probably be talking about 255 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: it tomorrow. Also discuss sing it some today as we 256 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: start to get some referendum on violence in cities and 257 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: how Democrats are going to potentially respond to them. But 258 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: it's getting bad out there for Democrats. When CNN, which 259 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, by the way, has decided that 260 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: it wants to go back to news. They've got a 261 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: new leader, and the new leader is saying, hey, we 262 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: may get rid of Jim Acosta, we may get rid 263 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: of what's our buddy's name, Brian Stelter. All of the 264 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: most anti Trump, incredibly partisan CNN people are suddenly on 265 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: the chopping block, and there's suddenly news that is starting 266 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: to break through on CNN. It feels like, almost on 267 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: a daily basis now there is a legitimate job being 268 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: done by some members of the media at CNN to 269 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 1: actually discuss what's really going on and big picture. Here 270 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: we are, five months in a day away from the 271 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: mid terms. Where do we sit at five months in 272 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: a day? We are in right now, a period in 273 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: time when Joe Biden's regime is starting to throw up 274 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: Hill Mary's, when the Democrats are starting to desperately try 275 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: and score touchdowns without any basis behind them. That's really 276 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: what Thursday is. We'll talk some more about Thursday, I'm sure, 277 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: and then react to it for certain on Friday when 278 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: this primetime January sixth hearing occurs. But here is what 279 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: the conversation was on CNN as right now as we speak, 280 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: Republicans are in the best position they have been in 281 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: the midterms in over eighty years, going all the way 282 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: back I believe, to nineteen thirty eight. Listen to CNN's 283 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: Harry Inton put this into context. The Republican two point 284 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,119 Speaker 1: lead on the generic congressional ballot is the best position 285 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: for Republicans at this point in any midterm cycle in 286 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: over eighty years. It beats two ten one. Republicans were 287 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: up a point. If it's fourteen, two thousand and two, 288 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: ninety ninety eight, where Democrats led by a point, and 289 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: in all of those four prior examples that make this 290 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: list of the top five, look at that who won 291 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: a majority, it was the Republicans who won a majority. 292 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: My estimate for the twenty twenty three House makeup if 293 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: the election were a hell today, which again it isn't 294 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: we still have five months, would be Republicans two hundred 295 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 1: and thirty six seats to two hundred and forty one seats, 296 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: Democrats one ninety four to one hundred ninety nine. That 297 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: would be a monumental resetting of the House of Representatives. 298 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: We don't know exactly how it would break in the Senate. 299 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: But if Republicans are winning that big, it would be 300 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: hard pressed, you would think for Republicans not to also 301 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: take the Senate. Buck. I was reading the Cook Political 302 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: Report because I'm a nerd, and they said there's basically 303 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: fifty three seats that are in any way winnable by 304 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: one party or the other. Right, there's four hundred and 305 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: thirty five House seats, fifty three of them after redistricting, 306 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: according to the Cook Political Report, are actually up in 307 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: the mix. What do you think's going to happen? And 308 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: are you with me that we're at hell marry time 309 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: right now for Democrats where they're trying to distract from 310 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: baby formulas shortages, from inflation, from gas prices about to 311 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: go over five dollars a gallon for the first time 312 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: ever in this country. Does it feel hell marry time 313 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: to you? Absolutely? I mean, this is why we're gonna 314 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: be talking to you a little bit about the January 315 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: sixth Prime time whatever it is they're planning in a 316 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: couple of days. They're bringing in a former what is it, 317 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,360 Speaker 1: a Today Show or one of those producers to make 318 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: it really pop on the screen. It's all theatrics. It's 319 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: literally theatrics. I mean, they're they're just doing this to 320 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: try to create spectacle, to distract from exactly what you're 321 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: talking about. And you know, one of our duties here, 322 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: I think, is always to make sure that we present 323 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: at least the best argument that the other side has 324 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: in any debate. Right what are they offering up here? 325 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: What are they saying where if you get into an 326 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: argument with you know, your neighbor Bob or Bill or 327 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: whatever over the grill in the backyard, what's he gonna 328 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: say as a Democrat? You know, And what's the argument 329 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: going to be? The Biden regime right now does not 330 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: have a compelling argument period, full stop. All they have 331 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: is what we've been seeing, which is misdirection, outright lying, 332 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, distraction techniques. With the January sixth insurrection, can 333 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: you imagine, by the way, imagine what they're really saying. 334 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: And there's so many ways that anyone who calls it 335 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: an insurrection is lying to you or is not very smart. 336 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a baseline theory that I've had all 337 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: along here. Mostly the people on seeing the others are 338 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: lying about a clay. They know it's not an insurrection. 339 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: A bunch of unarmed people mostly guilty of parading in 340 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: a government building can overthrow the United States government, with 341 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: its millions of employees, with its multi trillion dollars of spending, 342 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: with its sixteen or now seventeen I guess intelligence agencies, 343 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: with the most powerful military on the planet. A bunch 344 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: of grandma's taking selfies inside the Capitol is going to 345 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: over Oh, people say what about the ones who attacked 346 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: the cups. Yeah, that was bad. They should go to prison. 347 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: But you know, if you're a leftist and you just 348 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: probably saw this clay, these two lawyers in Brooklyn from 349 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty George Floyd Riots, Colinford Mattis and Rouge 350 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 1: Rochman were able to pull their plead deal. Federal propsecutors said, 351 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: all right, it's okay. These are the ones who fire 352 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: bombed a police carter in the George Floyd Molotov cocktail 353 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: Molotov cocktail and actual people say it's not a weapon 354 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: of war. No, actually it is. It's from the Winter 355 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: War when the Finns were fighting against the Soviets and 356 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: Molotov was the Soviet foreign minister, and so the Molotov 357 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: cocktail was used to throw at Russian armor be an armor. 358 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: They were able to pull their previous plea deal, Clay, 359 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: this is quite a sweetheart situation and plead to lesser. 360 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: So they said, yeah, we're guilty, we'll take the plea deal, 361 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: and now that people aren't paying attention, it's well, we'll 362 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: take a plead to or lesser. I just bring this 363 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: up because you had people for non violent crimes in 364 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: solitary confinement for a year for January sis still still, 365 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so we see all this and 366 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: you say, what's really going on in this country right now? 367 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: What are the people in charge doing to reinforce your 368 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: faith in the government. What's the media doing to make 369 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: any of us believe that the Democrat corporate media has 370 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: even a hint of ethics? And the answer is they 371 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: got nothing, Clay, they got nothing. Yeah, I think you're right. 372 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: And this is why I wanted to play this cut too, 373 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: because I saw it and I said, this is so 374 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: transparent what they are trying to do. The January sixth theory, 375 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: which is going to take place on Thursday. And as 376 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: we told you, the timing on this is is really 377 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: bad in that most people aren't paying attention, but also 378 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: the next morning are going to get the latest inflation numbers. 379 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: So whatever legs you thought were going to exist from 380 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: your January sixth big public hearing in prime time, the 381 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: next morning, you are going to find out how bad 382 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,959 Speaker 1: things are as it relates to inflation. And by the way, 383 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: I don't think inflation is going to have come down 384 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: very much. And certainly everybody out there driving around right 385 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: now listening to us, looking at the different gas prices 386 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: as they're driving down the road, as they take closer 387 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: and closer to five dollars a gallon, is not feeling 388 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: that way. But here's NBC's one of their commentators saying 389 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: they need to make everybody focus on the January sixth 390 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: investigation and ignore gas prices and baby formulas shortages. I 391 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: don't know. That doesn't seem like a very easy thing 392 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: to get Americans to shift their notice on a you're 393 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: gonna pay attention to something that happened eighteen months ago 394 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: that has no impact on your life right now, or 395 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna pay attention to the fact that you can't 396 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: find baby formula to feed your baby and that gas 397 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: prices aren't an all time high just about to go 398 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: over five dollars. But this is the Jedi mind trick 399 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: that Democrats are trying right now by focusing on January six. Listen, 400 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: so many things that people are juggling, between gas prices 401 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: and inflation, baby formula, abortion, and the shootings that are happening. 402 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: These lawmakers are going to try to now have a 403 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: narrative to focus the country's attention to say, look at 404 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: this thing, do not turn away and understand that while 405 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: all those other things are really really important, the foundation 406 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: of our country, what makes our country function, is the 407 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: democracy that we have to protect. And they're gonna have 408 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: to do that in the face of Republicans who are 409 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: lying still about the twenty twenty election. This is not 410 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: going to work, Buck, I mean, this is one of 411 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 1: the all time ridiculous arguments to make. Whatever your political 412 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: leanings are, the price of gas impacts you way more 413 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: right now than anything that happened on January. These these 414 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: emotional impact issues that they're talking about, whether it's January 415 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: six or Roe v. Wade, the focus on gun control 416 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: right now, that's just not gonna that's not gonna get 417 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: it done in any contested election. My only, at least 418 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: in my opinion, and also on the Roe v. Wade issue, 419 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: what we've already seen is it didn't move the needle. 420 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: It basically stayed constant, even when the Supreme Court, we believe, 421 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: showed its hand that Roe is likely to be overturned, 422 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: and that's going to happen within a matter of a 423 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: few weeks now that decision will come down. You're also 424 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: hearing cries about or it calls for gun control at 425 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: a time when you're going to see the Supreme Court, 426 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: I believe, slap down New York cities absurd and unconstitutional 427 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: gun licensing regime. So that's gonna take the wind out 428 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: of the sales there a little bit. And Clay, my 429 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: only my hesitation with all this is just you'll remember 430 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: this probably get me a play by play fascy for it, 431 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: because I did used to watch the NFL and there 432 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: was a Giants forty nine Ers game that I maybe 433 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: like a decade ago, do you I'm talking about where 434 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: the Giants were up so much, Yeah, and you thought 435 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: it was over and you just watched for two quarters 436 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: as they were systematically dismantled and lost. I think it 437 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 1: was one of the biggest losses, the biggest leads lost 438 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: in a playoff game of all time. Yes, I just 439 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: don't that's where you feel like we are right now. 440 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: I don't want us. I don't want us be in complacent. 441 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: You said, fifty three, fifty three seats, that's what they're 442 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: a political report, I believe said, are you know viable 443 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: can swing one direction or the other. Basically ninety percent 444 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: or eighty eight percent or whatever it is of the 445 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: seats are already Republican or Democrat pretty solid. We should 446 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 1: set a GOP target for this midterm election. Anything less 447 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: than fifty seats is unacceptable. That is a crap. I 448 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: think that is a what my opinion, wildly optimistic number. 449 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: Of course, it is only what I got to say, 450 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: only only for this reason, because everyone forgets that the 451 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: Republic look, it's had a pretty good run in twenty twenty, right, 452 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: and so they won back a decent number of seats 453 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 1: that they would have won back in a landslide election. 454 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: I would set the over under it thirty. That's where 455 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: I would put the number. I'm saying, we target fifty 456 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: and maybe maybe we don't all have to do push 457 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: ups in the gymnasium after practice. If it's thirty to forty. 458 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: By the way, are you surprised, because I am a 459 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: little bit. I know that guns has become the new focus, 460 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: But it was only a couple of weeks ago, Buck, 461 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: where we were saying, hey, they're showing up at all 462 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: these Supreme Court justice homes, they're gonna protest. It feels 463 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: like that totally vanished, didn't it, Because I think it 464 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: with the Supreme First of all, it was illegal, and 465 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: it became increasingly increasingly problematic for Democrats who are legal experts, 466 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: to go on TV and act like we can't read right. 467 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: This is a thing no offense to the lawyer here. 468 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: This is a thing that some lawyers do where they 469 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: act like we're all bound by laws and can't read 470 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: the statute and understand it ourselves a little bit. Times 471 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: like we're not talking about patent law here, right, We're 472 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: talking about you cannot be outside of a judge's home 473 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: to intimidate them. And I think that they realize that 474 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: the base, or rather that the activists, during all this stuff, 475 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: we're starting to look pretty crazy, and that what was 476 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: going on in a midterm election, suburban women by protesting 477 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: suburban homes, Democrats are hoping they get they get huge 478 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: base turnout. Obviously, this is two of every election in 479 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 1: California and New York, etc. And in any place in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, 480 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: anywhere where they think there's a competitive Georgia competitive elections, 481 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: You're gonna have Democrats all of a sudden in the 482 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 1: ninety days before the elections say hey, I'm like a 483 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: moderate gun toting you know, love America Democrat. All of 484 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: a sudden, they're gonna change the tone in those races 485 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 1: in those places and hope that the National Party isn't 486 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: a drag on them. I just think it's amazing how 487 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: quickly that has died. You asked a question, what do 488 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: you believe that Democrats are going to run on. I 489 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: think it's going to be abortion in guns. I think 490 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: that it's the only thing they can run on. Neither 491 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: of those moves the needle. If they do that, by 492 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: the way, I think we actually could win over forty 493 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: seats legitimately. I don't disagree with you, but I don't 494 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: know what else they can run on. They can't run 495 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: on inflation, they can't run on the stock market, they 496 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: can't run on the border, they can't run on crime. 497 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 1: They used to tell me the CIA Clay don't overestimate 498 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: or underestimate your opponents. Maybe they just don't have anything. 499 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna try this January sixth thing, and they're just 500 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: gonna cry a lot and while we're having our party 501 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: at the election in Nashville. So there you go. I 502 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: think January sixth there is way more, way, less effective 503 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: than even abortion or guns would be. I think it's 504 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: going to be an abortion guns race, that that's what 505 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: they're going to try to turn into an issue, which 506 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: means if there is any kind of gun legislation that 507 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: comes out, that there could be some big political move 508 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: where I wouldn't shock me. This is just a little 509 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: bit of a prediction that Democrats decide they're not willing 510 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: to take whatever small measure of changes to the laws 511 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: they might get argue politically that they need to leave 512 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: it to the will of the American voter in the midterms. 513 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: Just kind of tossing that out there, because honestly, I 514 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: think it's going to be an absolute destruction and I 515 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: don't know what else they can argue. You're not gonna 516 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: believe this, but there's a company saving families more money 517 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: on a service you use every day than you can 518 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: possibly imagine.

We are rolling through 537 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: the final hour of the program. Here We're joined now 538 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: by our friend and Coulter and I don't know if 539 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: you're seeing it, but Buck and I. During the commercial 540 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: break here Matthew McConaughey is in the White House addressing 541 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: the White House Press Corps about gun control. We saw 542 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: previously BT. I'm trying to get this right. BTS, the 543 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: Korean pop band I believe last week is this kind 544 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: of a sign that the White House is just given 545 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: up on being able to message themselves and they're just 546 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: bringing in different celebrities and letting him stand in front 547 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: of the White House Press Corps. That's a very good point. 548 00:30:55,480 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: I mean, whether celebrities, actors and actresses are on our 549 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: side or their side, I don't think it ever ever 550 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: helped UM, but it just I mean, it's kind of fun. 551 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: As I've said, As I've said before, don't put it 552 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: past Republicans not to blow this these mid terms, but wow, 553 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: our Democrats going out of their way to help Republicans, 554 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: including with their their gun grabbing um. The hysterical feminists 555 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: talking about how much they need to abort babies after 556 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: the first Trimaster, this endless January sixth and endless fixation 557 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: on Trump and now as you have alerted my attention 558 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 1: to having celebrities do that their their pr for them. 559 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: That's that sounds great. And we know you've got a 560 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: new sub stack unsafe. It's called anybody who wants to 561 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: can subscribe to that sub stack you just recently laid out. 562 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: As we're having this the gun control discussion, I think 563 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: among many pole discussions, there's just a there's a rhythm 564 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: to this. Unfortunately, there's outrage from a left depending on 565 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: this situation of the mass shooting obviously depends on who 566 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 1: the perpetrator is and who the victims are. And we 567 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: go through this and they say we got to do something, 568 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: We've got to do something, And then there are actually, 569 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: much to the chagrin of some in the Democrat aligned media, 570 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: there are people who say, well, hold on, okay, why 571 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: don't we do the following. Why don't we allow teachers, 572 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: for example, if they can conceal carry elsewhere, to conceal 573 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: carry in the classroom, that certainly won't harm anybody, and 574 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: it takes away no rights and it might help. And 575 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: you actually establish in your most recent, most recent peace 576 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: on your substack that there are a number of mass 577 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: shootings because they would say, well, what would this ever 578 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: actually stop anything? There are a number of mass shootings 579 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: that have been stopped by lawful gun owners who happen 580 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: to have a gun at the time of the shooting. Yes, yes, 581 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: it happens all the time. I've been writing about guns, 582 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: at least since nineteen ninety nine, when I had a 583 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: somewhat famous George magazine article that has now disappeared to history. 584 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: But I think I have it, so I think I'm 585 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: going to send it out on sub sack later today. 586 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: Ruger is a girl's best friend, and I went through 587 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: the arguments in a series of sub Sack posts yesterday. 588 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: They get delivered direct leader in box and for seven 589 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 1: days free. First responding to the to the as you say, 590 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: there's a pattern to this, they the left runs in, 591 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: if it's a white perpetrator, Um, they're gonna need to 592 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: grab our guns. And they come up with a bunch 593 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: of stupid proposals that would have been done nothing to 594 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: stop generally, either this particular mass shooting they're talking about 595 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: or any other mass shooting. But we'll create devastating consequences, 596 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: and I'll run through a few of those very quickly. 597 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: But the most important fact is John Lott and William 598 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: Landis to renowned economists at University of Chicago and at 599 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: the time Yale, respectively. UM performed a massive study this 600 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: is about a decade ago, looking at all mass shootings 601 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 1: over a period of more than a decade. Uh. And 602 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: they looked at, you know, which policies helped, which policies 603 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: did nothing, UM, death penalty for for fell, for murder 604 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: with a gun. UM. They looked at, of course, you know, 605 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 1: read flag laws and waiting periods, blah blah blah blah blah, 606 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: everything that gets suggested after there's any mass shooting by 607 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: a white mail UM. And there was only one policy 608 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: in their study that reduced not only the number of 609 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: mass shooting incidents, but quite obviously the number of dead 610 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: at any attempted mass shooting. UM. So of course the 611 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,359 Speaker 1: media bury the study, bury these cases come up with 612 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: nonsense objections to it. UM. The The other problem with 613 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: trying to prove no that I mean, as the current 614 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: cliche has, a good guy with a gun can stop 615 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: a bad guy with a gun, is that when a 616 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: mass shooting is averted. I've written these columns over and 617 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: over again. This one yesterday's substack posts were only the 618 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: ones in the last year or two. Um, it's no 619 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: longer a mass shooting, so it doesn't make the list 620 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 1: of mass shooting. So it's sort of a tautology when 621 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: when you know, Mother Jones or liberals come out and 622 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: say a mass shooting has never been stopped by a 623 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: concealed carry. Yeah, that's because nobody died, or maybe one 624 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: person died, two people died, as opposed to twenty people died. Therefore, 625 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: we're just going to push that aside. I mean, it's 626 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: like saying, no, no, we've we've run a study. Um, 627 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:47,439 Speaker 1: and weed killer doesn't work because every place we looked 628 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,319 Speaker 1: at all the yards with weeds and none of them 629 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: were using weed killer. And uh, Buck and I have 630 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: been working yea so much for our our what is 631 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: it for? Whatever the week killer sponsorship we had lined 632 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: up here? Uh the when you Buck and I were talking, 633 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: CNN is now saying, going back to nineteen thirty eight 634 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 1: eighty years, this is the best environment that has ever 635 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: existed for Republicans. As we come up on a mid term, 636 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: if you were in the Biden White House and they 637 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: said to you and we know it's been a disaster, 638 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: Buck and I were trying to come up with our 639 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: best spin zone for what they could do to try 640 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: to forestall what appears is going to be a red 641 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,879 Speaker 1: wave wipeout for them. What pitch could you even make 642 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: for the Biden White House? Oh, I know, I know, 643 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: m propose more more billions of dollars to Ukraine and 644 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: watch all the Republican vote for it. That's a good 645 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:53,799 Speaker 1: way to suppress the vote for Republicans. Um. Like, I say, 646 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: never put it past Republicans to blow this um and 647 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: beyond Republican and luring Republicans into taking more ronic votes 648 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: like that or spending all their time. I mean, even 649 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 1: Senator Barosso and I've generally kind of liked him. He 650 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: was one of the first first senators through. I've gone 651 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,120 Speaker 1: to Ukraine, I've visited Zalinski. Can we get back to 652 00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: our country now? Not to be you know, churlish about this, 653 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 1: but um and as for the Democrats, I mean, I 654 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: know this always happens when one side wind's big, Oh, 655 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: the other party's finished forever, and then the other side 656 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,680 Speaker 1: wins big that party's finished forever. But I will say that, 657 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: I mean, at least right now, the Democrats are in 658 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: a bit of a pickle, and that is their their base, 659 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,759 Speaker 1: and certainly the base that that Biden is responding to. 660 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: I think they know their base at least as well 661 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 1: as I do. Is crazy, and I don't say that lately. 662 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: It's all it's weird. I was just tweeting before calling 663 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 1: into you this this pushing of the drag queen story hour, 664 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: and did you see the photos? Did you see the video? 665 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,880 Speaker 1: Because I sent it to Clay over the weekend and 666 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: I was like, look, this is just insane. Yes, And 667 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: they can't they won't. They can't. They won't stop Disney 668 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: major corporation. They won't do anything about the border, they 669 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 1: won't do anything about legal immigration. And I think it's 670 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: always worth pointing out what many conservatives will not point 671 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: out to you. It's not just illegal immigration. And if 672 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 1: you bring in the exact same people but say oh, 673 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: we're doing illegally, you still have the same problems of 674 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,719 Speaker 1: changing the culture, taking jobs away, filling up the emergency 675 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 1: rooms and the schools, harming the people already here. Americans 676 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: for forty years have been asked do you want more 677 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 1: immigration or less immigration? And they keep saying they want 678 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: less immigration, not just the wall, that's part of it. Yeah, 679 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: of course we don't want gang members running across, but 680 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 1: it's legal immigration to Again, our Republicans doing anything about this, 681 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:09,280 Speaker 1: not so as you'd notice, So plenty of room, plenty 682 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 1: o running room for the Democrats here, but you'd you'd 683 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 1: fire basically everyone in the White House and and you know, 684 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: just be be a liberal who who's not being chased 685 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: by men with nets. That's all. That's all they need 686 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,640 Speaker 1: to do. But they can't, I mean, stop this nonsense 687 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:32,240 Speaker 1: green energy policy which, as Republicans and conservatives said, gas 688 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,399 Speaker 1: prices are going to go through the roof, and as 689 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: you probably thought it was going around Twitter yesterday, the 690 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,399 Speaker 1: Washington Post had fact check fact checks. This is from 691 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: year ago. Republicans say bidens green energy policies will raise 692 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 1: gas prices. Experts say that's not true. That's remarkable, you know. 693 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: And just one thing. You know, a mutual friend of 694 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: ours who was a Democrat, I had a conversation with 695 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: him recently about what's going on in San Francisco, and 696 00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna need you to explain how obviously 697 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: some Democrats have woken up to this because the Chesa 698 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,439 Speaker 1: bou Dan recall election is today. And we had John 699 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: Phillips on before to talk to us about that, by 700 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 1: the way, from from La Good. Yeah, and and but 701 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: I said, so you're gonna have to explain to my 702 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 1: Democrat friend, our Democrat friend. You have to explained to 703 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: me how it's in any way reasonable that as crime 704 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: goes up dramatically in San Francisco, prosecutions have dropped dramatically 705 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Explain like, riddle me that you know, 706 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: and there's no answers. And this is true in a 707 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: lot of cities now. So I think to your point 708 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: about Democrats are crazy, that's crazy. There's another Sorost prosecutors 709 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: in all of these towns with Sorost prosecutors Houston, Philadelphia, 710 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: and New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles. No, they won't 711 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: prosecute criminals. Um, it was just a horrible shooting in Philadelphia. 712 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: They asked the may or about it. His response was, um, well, 713 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: would it be arrest criminals, stop, stop releasing them, immediately, 714 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: put them in jail while they wait for trials, get 715 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: a new prosecutor. No, it's take guns away. I especially 716 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 1: think that's not going to work, and that has never worked. 717 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,279 Speaker 1: No matter how much the media beats that drum, there 718 00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 1: are enough Americans who know how to use guns, who 719 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: appreciate having guns, and especially after twenty twenty and the 720 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: continuing crime surge of BLM and Dantifa and watching police 721 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 1: precincts burn to the ground and looking at what happened 722 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,360 Speaker 1: in val day where the chief of police, don't worry, 723 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: the police will be there to save you.

We 750 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:16,280 Speaker 1: need to restore our American values. And we need responsible 751 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 1: gun ownership. Responsible gun ownership. We need background checks. We 752 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,439 Speaker 1: need to raise the minimum age to purchase an AAR 753 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 1: fifteen rifle to twenty one. We need a waiting period 754 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: for those rifles. We need red flag laws and consequences 755 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: for those who abuse them. These are reasonable, practical, tactical 756 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 1: regulations to our nation states, community schools, and homes. Responsible 757 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: gun owners are fed up with the Second Amendment being 758 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 1: abused and hijacked by some deranged individuals. I think responsible 759 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: gun owners are fed up with being lectured by Democrats 760 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 1: who don't know what they're talking about. I think that 761 00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: I actually know all whole. I have responsible go owners 762 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: of my family. I grew up with gun owners in 763 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,920 Speaker 1: the family. I go shooting for fun. And this Matthew mcconaugheys, 764 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: he's welcome to the Clay and Buck. Obviously, this Matthew 765 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,840 Speaker 1: mcconnie speech just now look, it's very clear, this is 766 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: just meant to reset it all. What happened to you 767 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: of all day is a horror and atrocity that defies 768 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 1: our our ability to even begin to cope and understand 769 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,839 Speaker 1: how someone could be so evil, and to cope with 770 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 1: that evil in the aftermath is just is deeply troubling. Period. 771 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 1: And then comes all the bad policy ideas from Democrats 772 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,240 Speaker 1: that wouldn't have stopped this shooting, wouldn't stop future shootings, 773 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 1: and I mean just the platitudes here, Clay. We need 774 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: to invest in mental healthcare Oh, okay, I'll get right 775 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: on that. We need to have a responsible gun ownership. 776 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: Nine point nine percent of lawful gun owners don't hurt anybody. 777 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: But more than that, by the way, but don't hurt 778 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: anybody with our guns. We need to restrain media coverage. Oh, 779 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: that sounds like a great idea. I mean, this is 780 00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 1: just the White House you've got. I told you during 781 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 1: a commercial break, Matthew McConaughey's performance today, he's an actor, 782 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 1: he's performing, is going to be rapturously covered by the media. 783 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 1: I will get I'll make a prediction Maureen Dowd's Sunday 784 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,399 Speaker 1: New York Times column. We'll talk about how Matthew McConaughey 785 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: is making more sense. Would I would put almost every 786 00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:30,680 Speaker 1: dollar is making more sense on gun control based on 787 00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:35,240 Speaker 1: his statements at at the White House than almost anyone 788 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,800 Speaker 1: in America. And she will talk about all of his 789 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 1: old roles in film and everything else. And he's playing 790 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 1: the role of being able to emote because, as we 791 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,320 Speaker 1: were talking about off air, the Democrat Party overwhelmingly responds 792 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 1: to emotion. Now, they aren't a party of logic, they 793 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,959 Speaker 1: aren't a party of precedent. They aren't a party of 794 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:02,600 Speaker 1: intelligent and rigorous debate. Are a party that appeals to emotions. 795 00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 1: And Matthew McConaughey is going to do an incredible job 796 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,800 Speaker 1: because he is an actor whose job is to appeal 797 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 1: to emotions. I mean, I just heard that Buck, and 798 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, is he reading off a teleprompter or is 799 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 1: he going completely off script? He was reading off the 800 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,640 Speaker 1: scripts I was watching. The reason why I bring it 801 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,839 Speaker 1: up is how much better is he at reading off 802 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 1: a script than Joe Biden, who can barely read off 803 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 1: of a teleprom clay. Literally, every person listening to this 804 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:30,799 Speaker 1: right now is better at reading off a teleprompter than 805 00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:35,399 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Is McConaughey better at speaking than anybody who 806 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,319 Speaker 1: is in the Biden White House right now? I think 807 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,919 Speaker 1: the answer is probably yes. By the way, I wanted 808 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 1: to finish with some humor, So were we were hitting 809 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 1: all of this, the demand that you wear the Pride flag, 810 00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,879 Speaker 1: You're a bigot according to ESPN, you're a religious you're 811 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: leading into religious bs and a lot of you have 812 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,719 Speaker 1: been pointing out that this is a famous scene in Seinfeld, 813 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 1: which I said, Hey, we gotta play this. This is 814 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: a perfect and perfectly analogous situation. I believe Kramer refused 815 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,760 Speaker 1: to wear a ribbon. If I don't, if I'm not forgotten, 816 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 1: here is what it sounded like on Seinfeld. This is 817 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 1: where we are now. Ribbon. Oh, I don't wear him? 818 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,399 Speaker 1: You don't wear the ribbon. Aren't you against adies?
