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 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis and 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. I hope all of you are having 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 1: a fantastic middle point of your week. Odds are You're 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: probably better at your job that Joe Biden is at his, 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: no matter what you do for a living, and that 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: is where we begin today. A new high in inflation 8 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: in the Biden regime seven percent announced early this morning. 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: That is the highest since nineteen eighty two. We also 10 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: have reaction to the speech that Joe Biden gave in 11 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 1: the State of Georgia and a question that is lingering 12 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: out there, what has Biden done well? You know, it's amazing, 13 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: Clay to see how Joe Biden at this stage has 14 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: already transferred from the guy who is supposed to be 15 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: uniting the country. I mean that there's been this massive 16 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: transition of the initial promise of Joe Biden, and that 17 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 1: is that he was supposed to be a moderate, kind 18 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: of bullwark against the craziest on the left. Now he's 19 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: running around making references to clearly tie Republicans to George Wallace, 20 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: to Jefferson Davis, it's absolutely nuts what's going on, And 21 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: it just goes to show you it was all a fraud. 22 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: I mean that this notion of cuddly old Joe was 23 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: a fraud. There's no doubt, total fraud. And I believe 24 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: we have a cut to your point, Jefferson Davis, this 25 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: is how far back Joe Biden is going now to 26 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: try to make these historical analogies. Will listen to what 27 00:01:54,160 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: he said yesterday in Georgia. To protect our democracy, I 28 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: support change either Senate rules which every way they need 29 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: to be changed to prevent a minority of centers from 30 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: blocking action on voting rights. So I ask every elected 31 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: official in America, how do you want to be remembered. 32 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: Do you want to be the side on the side 33 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: of Doctor King or George Wallace? Do you want to 34 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: be in the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor. 35 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: Do you want to be the side of Abraham Lincoln 36 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: or Jefferson Davis? This is the moment to decide to 37 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: defend our elections, to defend our democracy. Can I just 38 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: say it's just crazy? Let me clay here. You have 39 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: a guy who is going along with this Democrat pretense 40 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: that it's the nineteen sixties and they're the good guys. 41 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: That's essentially what this is. They've created this narrative of 42 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: we're in a new civil rights movie. Meanwhile, they look 43 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: at these different states where they say there's voter suppression 44 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: and the data shows all time high African American turnout, 45 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: example in the Carolinas, or you look at what's going 46 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: on in Georgia right now, but they claim there's a 47 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: Republican campaign of racist voter suppression. They throw everything in 48 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: together now with the insurrection is somehow tied to the 49 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: assault on our democracy, which then somehow turns into to 50 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: protect our democracy, we need ballot harvesting and no voter ID. 51 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: That's really what this is all about. Change the election 52 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: rules at the federal level, ram it down all the 53 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: state's throats so that they can win elections that they 54 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: would otherwise lose. That's what this really means. I think 55 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: the panic that sets in in the aftermath of twenty 56 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: twenty was buck. They threw everything they could at Donald Trump. 57 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: They had Twitter and Facebook suppressing actual news. They had 58 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: all sorts of brand new rules because of the pandemic 59 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: for mail voting, for absentee voting, and even with all 60 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: those changes, Buck, they won by twenty thousand votes. People 61 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: change twenty thousand of their opinions right, ten thousand voters 62 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: in Georgia, ten thousand voters in Arizona, twenty thousand voters 63 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, and the election is flipped. So if twenty 64 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: thousand people change their mind, that's basically one NHL or 65 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: one NBA arena in a country that has one hundred 66 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: and fifty million plus voting. That's how close they were 67 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: to losing, even with an election taking place in the 68 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: middle of COVID. And to me, this speech that Biden 69 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: gave in Georgia yesterday represents a fundamental inability to figure 70 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,239 Speaker 1: out what he's going to be able to do even 71 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: before he loses his majority in the House and in 72 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: the Senate. Because Buck this vote, the votes are not 73 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: there even if they needed fifty votes, because already Match 74 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: and Cinema have said they're not going to do it. 75 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: You've got Shaheen and New Hampshire, who doesn't really want 76 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: to change the rules. You've got Montana Senator bacchus I believe, 77 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: who doesn't want to change the rules. And Mark Kelly, 78 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: who is the other senator in Arizona doesn't want to 79 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: really want to change the rules either. So you've got 80 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: at least four or five Democrats that are opposed to 81 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: changing the rule on the filibuster as well. Right, so 82 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: it's not even just an issue I do. They have 83 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: the votes for this legislation. And they're different versions of it, right. 84 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: There is the Freedom to Vote Act, which is the 85 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: huge federalization of elections, or the Four of the People Act, 86 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: essentially two versions of the same thing with different titles. 87 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: Then there's the smaller John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which 88 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: is the one they're talking about where they're very much 89 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: focusing in on this. This is the nineteen sixties all 90 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: over again. This is about civil rights heroes, and it's 91 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: actually about you know, preclearance. Four states going to the 92 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: federal government before they could even move a polling place 93 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: because of what had been the nineteen seven, the nineteen 94 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: seventies based restrictions, right that they used for preclearance before 95 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: that got struck down by the Supreme Court. So now 96 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: they want to reinstitute that through legislation. Right, they changed 97 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: what was in the Voting Rights Act because it didn't 98 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: make sense anymore. But Clay to your point about we're 99 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: getting all down deep into this analysis of it. This 100 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: is really just a Republicans are Racist campaign, that's it. 101 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: They're not going to actually, they're not going to change 102 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: the Filipbuster. It's not going to happen. So they want 103 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: to give big speeches where it's Republicans are racist to 104 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: get based turnout in the mid terms for the Democrats. 105 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: And I don't even think that works anymore. Maybe I'm 106 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: totally wrong. Maybe there is a large segment of the 107 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: population that is going to turn their head the minute 108 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: that somebody says everything is racist, which is basically the 109 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: foundation right now of the entire Democratic Party. But I 110 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 1: think we're at a boy who Cried Wolf scenario, buck, 111 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: where when you yell at so many times and we've 112 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: had so many clear non racial related issues, whether it's 113 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: Jesse Smollett, whether it's you know, insert different hate crime 114 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: that has been blown up by the media, and then 115 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: in your local jurisdictions at a college or a high school, 116 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: the investigation actually occurs and it's not actually a hate crime. 117 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: I think the Democrats have gotten to the boy who 118 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: Cried Wolf scenario, where screaming everything is racist really just 119 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: draws attention to the fact that they don't have any 120 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,559 Speaker 1: underlying plan here. And look, we don't think billback Better 121 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: can get past. We know that their votes are not 122 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: there to change the filibuster. What is Congress going to 123 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: do with Biden for the rest of this year, because 124 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: we know by May or June they're going to shut 125 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: down effectively and let everybody go home. In campaign twenty six, 126 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: Democrats have already decided they're not going to run for reelection, 127 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: which is a strong sign in the House that they 128 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: anticipate that they're going to a wallop to there. I 129 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: just I'm not wasp because we talked about this existential question. 130 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: It's a big picture question. What can Biden point to 131 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: and say is better than a year ago when he 132 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: took overbuck And the more I think about it, the 133 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: only thing I think he can argue is that the 134 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: stock market is up. But that's really a function of 135 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: just pouring trillions of dollars into into the marketplace. Everyone 136 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: understands that right now, if you put one hundred dollars 137 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: in the bank and you leave it there for a year, 138 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: even in a high yield saving is account, losing seven percent, 139 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: you're losing money every year. So this is why people 140 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: are piling money and money, you know, and more money 141 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: into the stock market and ETFs and mutual funds because 142 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: otherwise they're forget about yield, you're actually just trying to 143 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: keep even with inflation right now. About the water, you know, 144 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: if someone could guarantee you seven percent a year, Bertie 145 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: made off. Just to keep this in context, was guaranteeing everybody, 146 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: as we know, based on a Ponzi scheme, ten percent 147 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: a year. Just think about that, every year ten percent, 148 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: every year ten percent. You're losing seven percent now, just 149 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: based upon and this is the Biden economy that we're 150 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: dealing with, and Clay, there's also so much of this 151 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: that's just cause and effect. People should remember now who 152 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: was pushing for defund the police, the undermining of law enforcement, 153 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: and who supports progressive prosecutors in major cities. The Democrat 154 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: Party who wanted to pay people as long as possible, 155 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: as often as possible, as many of them as they could, 156 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: all across the country to stay home while some people 157 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: were working during COVID there a lot of other people 158 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: are being told to stay home. As we know, there 159 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: was no the whole stay home thing was a terrible idea. 160 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: But you know, they piled all this money up that 161 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: they were spending trillions and trillions of dollars in additional spending, 162 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: and we have inflation. I mean, you look at all 163 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: these decisions that have been made the Biden regime, the 164 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: Democrats around him. I think we have to call it 165 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: the regime because it really is. The advisors, like I think, 166 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: you know, the Mayor of the Palace, so to speak, 167 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: in the White House is making a lot of calls here, 168 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: whether we're talking about Ron Klein or whomever. And to 169 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: your point, about what can they point to that actually 170 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: looks like it's some kind of a success. I pose 171 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: this to either other day. I'm like, Clay, you're a 172 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: super a dept. Guy, like I would want you doing 173 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: crisis comms for me. You know, I had pretty much 174 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: anybody else I know, and there's just nothing. There's no 175 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: there there. So now that they have Republicans are racist. 176 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: I sat around him, was thinking about this this morning 177 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: when the number came out at seven percent, and I 178 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: always think this is instructive. By the way, this is 179 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: good advice. No matter what you do for a living, 180 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: pretend you're the boss, and you have to make the 181 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: decision yourself. Even if you're not making the decision yourself, 182 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: it's good to put yourself in those shoes and go 183 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: through the mental exercises of how the boss is going 184 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: to reach a decision and right now, whether we like 185 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: it or not, the Biden regime, as Buck said, is 186 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: the boss of the country. What would you be pointing 187 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: to and say, boy, America is lucky we were here 188 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: over the last year because of I mean, I can 189 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: look at China, but China is almost entirely to Biden's credit, 190 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: small measure of credit. All he's done is keep most 191 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: of Donald Rump's policies in place for China. And then 192 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: I look, I guess you can look at the stock 193 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: market and say the stock market is up. But other 194 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: than that, the border murder rates, inflation at a forty 195 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: year high nearly when you consider what's going on with 196 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: the supply chain crisis and the inability of people to 197 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 1: get oftentimes what they're trying to get inside of the stores. 198 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: When you look at COVID hospitalizations set a new high yesterday, 199 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: they're likely to set another new high today. COVID cases 200 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: are at a new high I just challenge you. This 201 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: is the existential larger picture question that gets asked many 202 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: times in elections. It really cuts to the nitty gritty 203 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: of it. Are you better off today than you were 204 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: a year ago? I think there are very few people 205 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: in America that can say, hey, you know what, everything's 206 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: better in this country now because of Joe Biden. I 207 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: don't think there's anything he can argue. And that's why 208 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: he's focused on chasing wind meals, windmills in some way, 209 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: trying to label the Republicans as race because they won't 210 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: change voting there. I like the don Quixote referenced by there. Yeah, 211 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: for the folks at home, you've probably got a favorite 212 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: coffee brand right now, Well it should be Black Rifle 213 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: coffee because that's my favorite, all right, Clay and I 214 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: love Black Rifle.

Clay likes the cold. There's 219 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: espresso espresso rather not espresso mocha. Clay loves that stuff. 220 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: They're amazing, great taste in coffee's, folks, you're gonna love this. 221 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: Black Rifle is a veteran owned coffee brand.

I don't understand 242 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: why you're asking me that question. My financial disclosure is 243 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: public knowledge and has been so for the last thirty 244 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: seven years or so thirty five years. Big tech giants 245 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: are doing an incredible job of keeping it from being public. 246 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: We'll continue to look for it. Where would we find it? 247 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: What do you have to do is ask for it. 248 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: You're so misinformed, it's extraordinary. This is a huge issue, 249 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: Henry Mark. So, doctor Fouci has answered you to his 250 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: public information, and he's happy to give it to you 251 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: if you would it has Welcome back to the clan 252 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: Buck Show. Fauci, get a little a little smurf, get 253 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: a little hot into the collar there. Didn't like it. Look, 254 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: his financial disclosures are public information. But you know, you 255 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: could tell Fauci this is what this guy does. Actually, 256 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: this is what he lives for. He is a make 257 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: believe scientist in so many ways. I mean, he might 258 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: as well be Bill Nigh, the science guy who, if 259 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: you're wondering, has an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell, 260 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: but as the science guy. And here you have Fauci 261 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: Clay getting getting all sassy and saucy with a senator 262 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: yesterday because obviously Rand Paul rattled him a little bit 263 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: as he tends to. But Fauci actually he actually says, 264 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: and we can play here here is he claims he's 265 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: not political after doing things like this, after these bureaucratic 266 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: fights he has, how do we stop the misinformation and 267 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 1: just information and anybody who really wants to be objective 268 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: and look at some of the preposterous things that are 269 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: said out there that are based on no fact, just 270 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, everything from wild conspiracy theories to just not 271 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: really understanding or to understanding but putting out something that 272 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: isn't true. I mean, that's going to make this whole 273 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: thing tough. I wish we could reset this and say, 274 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: you have your political differences. I'm not a political person. 275 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: You know that. You know me for decades, zero political interest. 276 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: But maybe we could put the political stuff aside and say, 277 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: why if we want to fight politically, let's end this 278 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: outbreak first, get back to normal life, and then go 279 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: back to our political ideologies. He is such a liar 280 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: as well as such a failure it's remarkable. Well, if 281 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: that were true, he would do this radio show. If 282 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: he truly doesn't care about politics at all and he's 283 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: trying to reach the biggest possible audience, he wouldn't have 284 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: declined to come on this radio show multiple times when 285 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: we have offered him that opportunity. And by the way, 286 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: having testified in Congress, it's kind of hard to accidentally 287 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: leave your mic on there. I feel like that was 288 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: intentional by Fauci. Now he may say, oh, I didn't 289 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: know the mic was still on, but you're testifying in 290 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: front of Congress, you take your mask off so people 291 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: can read your lips. Anyway, I think he wanted to 292 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: insult that senator and then claim that he didn't know 293 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: that his mic was still on. But the larger context 294 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: addressed towards doctor Fauci, there buck would be he talks 295 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: about all the misinformation that is out there. When will 296 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: they accept the blame meaning Fauci, the CDC, Rachelle will Lyinski, 297 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: so many people who are quote scientific experts. When will 298 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: they accept the blame for so much that they have 299 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: put out there being untrue? They told us this spring 300 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: the end of the winter. If you get the COVID vaccine. 301 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: You will never spread COVID. It stops with you. You 302 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: will never have any that breakthrough cases are exceedingly rare. 303 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: There's a ton of people listening to us right now 304 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: who are double vaxed, maybe even boostered, and they've got 305 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: covid or Buck, they know somebody who is double vaxed 306 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: and boosted and got COVID. You told us not to 307 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 1: wear masks, then to wear masks, then we could take 308 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: them off. Then you told us we had to put 309 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: them back on. When do they accept blame for all 310 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: the messaging that they've gotten wrong. I don't see any 311 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: of that. I don't ever see Fauci showing up Buck 312 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: and saying, hey, you know what, in retrospect, we got 313 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: that wrong, or as you've said, a lot Buck. I 314 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: never say see Fauci saying that's too much. Yeah, why 315 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: does kid tom'side eating lunch on buckets is too much? Clay, 316 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: there's a wine bar near me that makes you wear 317 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: your mask until your drinks arrive. Yeah's as if that's 318 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 1: a smart They have this policy in the window. It's crazy. 319 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: Most people don't bother to look at the contributions made 320 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: by companies to politicians. But when you do take the 321 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: time to investigate those campaign contributions, it'll disappoint you, probably 322 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: in a big way. A lot of your money is 323 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: going to support political causes you don't stand for at all. 324 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: Now there's a solution.

One thing that has been true 338 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: across state lines, across country lines is politicians have consistently, 339 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: especially Democrats here, whether it's AOC down in Miami, whether 340 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: it's Gretchen Whitmer traveling down to Florida. They've consistently I 341 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: think the governor of Illinois basically relocated his whole family 342 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 1: to Florida while he shut down his own state. The 343 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: hypocrisy has been pretty staggering. And really what they're saying 344 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 1: is while they're telling all of us, hey, you're in 345 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: tremendous danger, their actions by and large don't reflect that 346 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: that is true. And sometimes that hypocrisy blows up and 347 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: it may end up costing Boris Johnson his position in England. 348 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: I don't know how many out there have been following this. 349 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: This is pretty funny. So they had a gathering in 350 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: May of twenty twenty where Boris Johnson's private secretary sent 351 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: out a notice to people telling them, hey, bring your 352 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: own beer and we're going to have a party here 353 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: at ten Downing Street, which is where the Prime Minister 354 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: resides in in England. And some of the details on 355 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: this are are pretty crazy because they lied about effectively. 356 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: It appears whether they knew it was going to happen 357 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: or not. And now the way the situation is going, 358 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: Boris Johnson has come out and said that he's sorry 359 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: about the way things went. He now has admitted that 360 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: he attended the party. He said he thought it was 361 00:20:54,880 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: a work event and the so he lied about attending party, 362 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: but they were restricting all gatherings and then they reportedly 363 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: had a alcohol infused party for a hundred people at 364 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: ten Downing Street Buck. So this is this is bad enough, 365 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: Like a massive percentage of people in England now are 366 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,239 Speaker 1: calling for Boris Johnson to resign. And Boris Johnson has 367 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: been a guy who historically has always been in hot 368 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: water and then kind of wriggled his way out of trouble. 369 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: But he says he understands public fury, took responsibility, said 370 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: he believed it was a work event, even though around 371 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: a hundred people were invited and urged to quote bring 372 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: your own booze. He says, I bitterly regret it. I 373 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: wish we could have done things differently. And the rules 374 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: at the time in England said that no gatherings of 375 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: more than two people were allowed. I mean, this is 376 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: it's amazing the fallout that has occurred for people in 377 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: positions of power during COVID, whether it's Andrew Cuomo and 378 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: I know it was technically me too that took him out, 379 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: not COVID. Gavin Newsom gets recalled. Yes, he won the 380 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: recall election. And we know what happened in Virginia and 381 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: nearly happened in New Jersey. And I think Buck, all 382 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: of this time together, I think there's going to be 383 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: an angry red tide that is going to sweep out politicians, 384 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: and some of the politicians that end up losing Buck, 385 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be such a red tide 386 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: that we don't even talk about the possibility they might lose. 387 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: Like Murphy, the governor of New Jersey, almost lost his 388 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: reelection bid this past November, and all the focus was 389 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: on Virginia and whether Young Kun to pull off the upset, 390 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: and nobody even talked about Murphy. Is Is it remarkable 391 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: when you think about how some of the biggest advocates 392 00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: for lockdowns the most publicly in favor of and by 393 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: lockdowns we mean everything, right, the policies of masking and 394 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: masking up between bites and six feet of social distancing 395 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: maybe three feet, maybe twenty feet, who knows, they keep changing, right, 396 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: all of those things. You look at the people who 397 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: were the most sanctimonious about it in public life, and 398 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: time and again they are caught being huge frauds. Really 399 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: almost without exception. I mean, find out a prominent Democrat 400 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: who is really at the top of the heap, whether 401 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: it is governor former governor Cuomo or Newsom or Pelosi 402 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: or AOC recently, and you look at all these different individuals, 403 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: and it just goes to show you that it's not 404 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: just the hypocrisy, it's the notion that a true tyranny 405 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: is not the strict enforcement of laws for everybody. That's 406 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: actually not what you have in the Soviet Union. That's 407 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: not what you have in North Korea. It's very strict 408 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: and capricious enforcement of laws. So some people get crushed 409 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: by the machinery of the state and in this case, 410 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: by the machinery of the Fauciite lockdown madness. Other people 411 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: get to live by different rules. When that's possible, you 412 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: don't have the universal burden across society, and so of 413 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: course it's much easier for people to be advocates for 414 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: this who are at the top. The same thing that 415 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: we see is with the we're all in this together. 416 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: We had all these upper middle class libs in Santa 417 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: Monica and Brooklyn and whatever. The fancy parts of Chicago 418 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: and Atlanta, Buckhead, right, you know whatever, Yeah, and the 419 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: fancy parts having their food delivered to them at home 420 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: doing zoom in their pajamas, talking about how we're all 421 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: in this together, while the truckers, the grocery store workers, 422 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: the postal delivery people, et cetera. Go down the list, 423 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: the cops, firefighters, they were all doing their jobs. They weren't. 424 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: We weren't all in this together. It was always a 425 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: lie because Clay, if we had been all in it together, 426 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: and if Boris Johnson had had to be in it 427 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: with everybody too in the UK, and Pelosi and Schumer 428 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: and all the rest of them here, maybe they wouldn't 429 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 1: have been able to stomach this stuff as long as 430 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: they did. And it is interesting because do you agree 431 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: with me that the tide of anger is unlikely to subside. 432 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: I know you've talked about it a little bit, Buck 433 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: where you feel like things are so bad for Biden 434 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: they can't possibly stay this bad. But I think it's 435 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: highly unlikely if you look at the Senate that there's 436 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,479 Speaker 1: anything that's really going to get past in the Senate 437 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: for the next several months. And then once you get 438 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: into the summer and the campaign season for twenty twenty two, 439 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: barring some sort of crazy surprise, and there could be 440 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: a crazy surprise, right, Russia could invade Ukraine, China could 441 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: invade Taiwan. That sort of upsets the overall Apple card 442 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 1: of expectation. Certainly, if we've been having this conversation in 443 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty, we'd have been saying, hey, things 444 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: look pretty good for Trump to win reelection, overwhelmingly because 445 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: COVID hadn't yet hit. We just hit a new If 446 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: you go back and read the newspapers in January. In 447 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: February of twenty twenty, you know, we still haven't gotten 448 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: anywhere back to the same number of people who were employed. Right, 449 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: they talk about the unemployment rate, but there are millions 450 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: of people they just have decided not to go back 451 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: to work, and something crazy could happen. But I tend 452 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: to think this red tide is going to be overwhelming, 453 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be fueled in many 454 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 1: ways by COVID anger. I think there are people who 455 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: are beginning to see for the first time that there 456 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: is no exit plan from the madness. Not that there are, 457 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: there's like a big chunk of the country who unfortunately, 458 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: I think that they are emotionally incapable of handling real 459 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: life right now, of just handling the risks that are 460 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: out there with COVID and from everything else, because as 461 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: we've talked about, they've ramped up the fear so very 462 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: much because it was useful to defeat Donald Trump. But 463 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 1: you have that middle ten to twenty percent of the 464 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: country who are open to persuasion one way or the other, 465 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,439 Speaker 1: and they're seeing that. You know, Fauci can whine and 466 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: moan all day about how people are mean to him 467 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: and everything else. This has been the CDC. I think 468 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: actually Scott Gottlieb, who's the former FDA chairman, who's one 469 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: of these guys who appears on MSNBC and CNN. You know, 470 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: he's pretty well known. He's also on the board of Feiser. 471 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, that's convenience. I think it's interesting 472 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: to put that. He says, the CDC is just it 473 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: needs to basically be scrapped and rebuilt, which is funny 474 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: because I actually wrote an editorialletbucksx and dot com about 475 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: that a few days ago where I'm like, yeah, it 476 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: does the CDC is a giant failure. Anyone who's looking 477 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 1: objectively at the last twelve months would have to say 478 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: that decision was made after decision with poor results and 479 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: in some cases disastrous results. But here's here's my problem 480 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: with all this, Clay. I think that the Democrats, as 481 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 1: a result of this, they just run the scorched earth 482 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: insurrection Republicans are racists, the unvaccinated or murdering people playbook. 483 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: They just go, oh and they try to change the 484 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: election laws wherever they can, because what are they going 485 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: to argue, right, what's actually the case going to be? 486 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's a clown. Everyone listening to this radio show 487 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: knows it. Even the Democrats listening to this radio show 488 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: know it. They knew it before they voted for him. 489 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it's a great point, it's gonna be interesting, 490 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about this, I'm sure a great deal. 491 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: But Bill Clinton and Barack Obama had the political skills 492 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: after they got she lacked in the mid terms of 493 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: their first term to rebuild to the point where they 494 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: got re elected. You know who's trying to get reelected 495 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: right now? Maybe we can talk about this at the 496 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: top of the second hour or get elected get back 497 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: into polio office.

We have the possibility of some huge 525 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: shakeups in the political world in the next twelve months, 526 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: and yeah, we're gonna try to get ahead of some 527 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: of it. We see what's coming off and we certainly 528 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: saw what was coming with the Biden regime and COVID. 529 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: But we're going to talk to you about one possibility 530 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: that would just be amazing, which is Hillary Clinton. They're 531 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: writing about it out there, Hillary Clinton stepping in for 532 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Now she's she's not, you know, on the 533 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: young side for a politician, but you know, just put 534 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: it out there. She's younger than Joe Biden though, and 535 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: I think everyone's starting to realize this Joe Biden thing, 536 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: it's just not working for anybody. Democrats the country. So 537 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to you about the Hillary situation 538 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,239 Speaker 1: a moment and also want to tell you that if 539 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: you ever miss any part of the show, please subscribe 540 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: to the Clay and Buck podcast.

We should allow 553 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: people to tell us. I was reading and I shared 554 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: with you. There's a great substack piece up from Bari 555 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: Weiss about Hollywood trying to grapple with Woke Universe taking 556 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: over in LA and what it's doing for hiring and 557 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if you watched the Curb Your Enthusiasm. 558 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: Do you watch the most recent season. I've seen some 559 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: of it. You you are up on the TV pop 560 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: culture too, Yeah, well, I mean I try to do 561 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: the way that I dial out to watching shows with 562 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: my wife late at night. Now, so I watched Curb 563 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: Curb Your Enthusiasm, and there's a great satire is not 564 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: directly acknowledged that's going on throughout the entirety of the season. 565 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 1: Every time that Larry meets with an entertainment executive, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, 566 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: whoever it is, there's a white guy in charge, and 567 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 1: the white guy has like a coterie of three advisers 568 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 1: who are the most diverse and inclusive group you could 569 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: possibly imagine there for every meeting with them. And it's 570 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: almost like the piece that Bari Weiss's substack has up 571 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: talks about the need for woke insurance because people in 572 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: high levels of prominence in Hollywood are terrified to say 573 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: what they actually think, and so they've surrounded themselves with 574 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 1: diverse and inclusive audiences to try to protect themselves. This 575 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: all comes right out of the academy. This is really 576 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: what the diversity czars or when I was at Amurst, 577 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: it was diversity educators. They called them people whose only 578 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: job was to walk around have meaningless forums that nobody 579 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 1: would attend except for a few students who wanted to 580 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: wind up about how everything is everything you're going to 581 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: diversity inclusion seminars in college. I also I also love 582 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: the uh. This was a common theme at Amherst. You'd 583 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: have you know, a white kid who grew up in 584 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 1: the wealthiest suburbs of Boston or maybe in you know, Westchester, 585 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: the area of New York and his parents Range Rover, 586 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: no offense, Clai, your Range Rover guy and his parents 587 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,239 Speaker 1: Range Rover, who would get up at the pony be like, 588 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: we are so racist at this school, and it's like, dude, 589 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: it's so obvious, man, just give it a break. There 590 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 1: was so much of that that would go on. Um. 591 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: But this is this comes right out of the school system, 592 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: the university system, where they've been creating this really army 593 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: of diversity educators for years so that they can seem 594 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: less racist. And now it's gone into corporate America and 595 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: all the rest of it, and you have all this 596 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: corporate inclusion trading. By the way, since you're throwing shows 597 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: out there all the time. Because now I'm by the way, 598 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: the Travis family has got me. Now now I have 599 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: like as it is, I gotta find a wife, Travis. 600 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: I gotta get married. I have time for this stuff. 601 00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:00,800 Speaker 1: I'm watching Yellowstone now I'm watching I'm watching cobrac Hi again. 602 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: I was just you know, I needed I'm just starting 603 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: Cobra Kai. When college football season ends and I don't 604 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: have to be on the road as much, I suddenly 605 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: find myself with more time. There's a reason two of 606 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: my three kids are born in September. People can do 607 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: the math. But that's when I catch up on all 608 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 1: the television viewing. And have you seen Peaky Blinders? That's great? 609 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: Oh you've already seen it, all right? No, no, I've 610 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 1: heard it's great. I haven't, haven't. I haven't seen that. No. 611 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: Top of the list for you, mister Travis. Peaky Blinders. 612 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: When you have some time for the new show, you 613 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: and the missus, you got to push through the first 614 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 1: three episodes. It can be a little bleak and a 615 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 1: little it's very violent and a little intense. Such a 616 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: great show though. The team here, Ali and Mike and Greg. 617 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: You guys all see Peaky Blinders. This is completely insane. 618 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm like a man on an island all alone here. 619 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: None of them have seen it. Where is it set. 620 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 1: It's in England, right, nineteen twenties, Birmingham, England gangsters. It's amazing. 621 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,479 Speaker 1: They call them the peaky blinders because this is pretty rough. 622 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,359 Speaker 1: So ear muffs for the kids. They had these little 623 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,719 Speaker 1: kind of derby hats, I guess you'd call them, and 624 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: they kept razor blades in the brim and they would 625 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: use the hat as a weapon and try to slash 626 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 1: people with his Holy Cow and sometimes in the face 627 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: and the eyes. That's whether the peaky Blinders. Yeah, yeah, 628 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 1: they didn't. Actually they don't actually show that though, or 629 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: maybe they do. I don't know. Let's not get into 630 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 1: that right now. Arnold in Florida, what do you got 631 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: for us? You know what? I was thinking that Fauci 632 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: doesn't want to politicize the virus, but you know, he's 633 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: been at the helm for two years and I'm wondering 634 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: why we haven't had an all hands on deck operation 635 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: warp speed for the therapeutics, especially now when we know 636 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: that the virus effectiveness is spotty at best. That's great. 637 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: That's a great it's a great point. That's what Jim 638 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,920 Speaker 1: Jordan said yesterday with us bucket. It's what a lot 639 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 1: of people have argued. I listened to the Joe Rogan 640 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 1: podcast with doctor Malone saying that our biggest failure of 641 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: COVID response has been not trying to get involved in 642 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: pushing therapeutics as aggressively. We may thank Arnold a great points. 643 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: We're out of time, but we appreciate you're holding and 644 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,200 Speaker 1: talking to us there in Florida. Clay, I'd say this, 645 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: the Visor pill maybe a huge way forward for us, 646 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: because at least now you have big pharma incentivized with 647 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: something that's not vaccines only. And maybe the all of 648 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: the above approach will hasten the end of the madness 649 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: for people. If they know that you get sick, you 650 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 1: take the pill, you're gonna be you know, ninety percent. 651 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what the numbers are, so I don't 652 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: want to say, but you know, you're basically gonna be. Okay, 653 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: Maybe they'll calm down, or maybe the American people will 654 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: be fooled and devoting for Hillary Shrillery Clinson. This might 655 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: actually happen, Folks. You could be running again, according to 656 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: some of the intelligentsia, Clay, you want to dive into 657 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 1: us in a few minutes, one hundred percent. We're gonna 658 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 1: come right back and talk about it. Do we see 659 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: it happening. We're gonna look into the future. Next on 660 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: Claim Buck, you're listening to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton 661 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: the EIB Network. H
