1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Friday edition of The Clay and Buck 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: Show kicks off right now. Everybody, Thank you for being 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: with us. Clay and I have a lot to talk 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: to you about today. First off, the response to the 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: inflation numbers yesterday seems to be one of panic inside 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: Democrat precincts. But but also they're just gonna gaslight you. 8 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: The price of gas of high, and the gaslighting is 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: going to be high from Democrats. We got Biden saying 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: what he thinks will happen if the Republicans take control 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: of Congress on that issue. Plus Nancy Pelosi on video 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: saying that she wants to slap Trump around. Super weird video, 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: the weirdest video. Can you imagine that delusional little old 14 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: lady laying a hand on anyone for any reason? But 15 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: people are actually looking at the isn't saying so? Pelosi's daughter, 16 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: who's a documentarian, just have to happen to be rolling 17 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: film that day in the Capitol. Like, I think there's 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: some interesting stuff to talk about there. Clay will certainly 19 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: dive into it, and you've got the Like I said, 20 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: the inflation numbers. You've got Pelosi saying that you've got 21 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: the subpoena of Donald Trump by the January sixth committee. 22 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: We have a little more detail on how that is 23 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: likely to play out. And then a video. Oh I'm sorry, 24 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: there's a couple of videos. One of Todd Bowles, an 25 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: NFL coach. It's phenomenal. Clay shared this last night on Twitter. 26 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: It's gone superviral. He'll he'll, we'll dive into that. He'll 27 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: introduce that one for you in a second. Just basically 28 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: a coach saying we're just about being coaches here where 29 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not obsessed with the race of another 30 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: coach or or himself as a as a black American. 31 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: He's not obsessed with talk about race. And the media's 32 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, but sir waits hold on. And then 33 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: University of Minnesota medical students swearing an oath. You gotta 34 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: hear that. Oh, and I didn't even get yet. Look, 35 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: it's a busy Friday here, folks. We've got second hour 36 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: of the show. Adam Laxalt of Nevada. He is running 37 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: a critical Critical Center campaign there. Steve Moore, third hour economist, 38 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: you all know him, he's gonna break down the economic numbers. 39 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be a happy segment, but it's gonna 40 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: be a truthful segment. So we'll discuss that. Gott to 41 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: know the truth about where the economy is setting. And 42 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: then Ron McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican Party. All right, Clay, 43 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: we have Joe Biden here. This was great yesterday, I 44 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: mean pretty amazing. He's saying that first of all, there 45 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: the two things you hear from them are we're making 46 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: progress and the other thing is somehow the Republicans will 47 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: make it worse. Here he is saying, we're making progress, folks, 48 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: not a joke. Today's report shows, though, some progress overall place. 49 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: She was too percent over the last three months. That's 50 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: down from eleven percent over the prior three months. That's progress, 51 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: but a lot of it is a result of getting 52 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: the cost of living at the gas pumped down by 53 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: more a nightment California now by more than a dollar 54 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: nationally since the start of this summer. There's a big 55 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: difference for working food. Clay. It just it seems like 56 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: the pitch and I really mean this, if you were 57 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: to encapsulate it honestly from Democrats, it would be vote 58 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: for us because we've made things slightly less awful in 59 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: the last month or two than they were the six 60 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: months before that. I don't think that's compelling. No, it isn't, 61 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: And it's not compelling if you are paying thirteen percent 62 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: increased cost at the grocery store, it's not compelling. When 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: they're trying to brag about the price of gas being down. Yeah, 64 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: it's down from five dollars, but it's high threes all 65 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: over the country. And that's if you happen to live 66 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: in a red state. A lot of you out there 67 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: are paying well over four dollars a gallon in some places, 68 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: well beyond that right now. And I saw you tweet this, 69 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: and to me, it's the essence of the question that 70 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: everybody Buck has to be asking themselves. We have forty 71 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: percent of the population that's going to be on our side, 72 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: right they're they're just Republicans. They're convinced that Republicans are correct. 73 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: They're regularly going to vote. What I'm always trying to 74 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: talk to is that twenty percent out there that is persuadable, 75 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: that is reasonable, that is rational. But oftentimes Bucks super 76 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: busy right there they got kids, they got sporting events, 77 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: they got so many obligations going on in their life. 78 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,559 Speaker 1: And you and I can pay attention to the nitty 79 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: gritty of campaigns, but for a lot of people, that 80 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: isn't their reality. And I would just say to anyone 81 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: out there that is contemplating how they're going to vote 82 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: in their state, is anything better since Joe Biden became president? 83 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: What in your life is better than it was on 84 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: January twentieth, twenty twenty one, when Joe Biden took the 85 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: oath of office and became President of the United States. 86 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: He tried to argue Buck, oh, I solve COVID. We 87 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: talked about this earlier this week, but then his base 88 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: rebelled against him to the point that he extended further 89 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: the emergency authorizations on COVID. Did you see that happen yesterday? 90 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: So even though he says COVID's over the political power 91 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: that he would have to give up to end the 92 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: emergency declaration, he's not willing to do now. I think 93 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: that's partly connected, certainly to the attempt to do away 94 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: with student loan debt. But everything, if you are a 95 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: normal person out there, every single thing in your life 96 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: that the federal government is responsible for is worse now 97 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: than it was when Joe Biden came into office, And 98 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: look away from what they're trying to distract you with, Oh, 99 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: we're gonna subpoena Donald Trump. Let's talk about January sixth, 100 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: or abortion, which is not on the federal ballots at all. 101 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: Individual state decisions can be made there. Look at what 102 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: actual tangible reality there is on inflation, on the economy, 103 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: on crime in your neighborhood, in your state and in 104 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: your region, and on the lack of security at the border, 105 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: plus the consequences of your kids being kept out of school. 106 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: I just don't see how any person with a functional 107 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: brain who is persuadable can vote in any way to 108 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: support Joe Biden's administration and the arguments that they're making. 109 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: Clay in response to all this, I mean, he just 110 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: went down. Yeah, if someone just looking at it honestly, 111 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: like I know, there's all there's the insurrection, and there's fauci, 112 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: and there's all these externalities running around right now in 113 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: the media. But let's just be honest about this. This 114 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: has been a disaster. It hasn't been anywhere near what 115 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: was promised. In fact, as you and I have both 116 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: said many times, Biden has been worse than the awfulness 117 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: that we promised he would be, which is, yes, in 118 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: a sense, remarkable, like credit where it's due. He's even 119 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: more awful than we had anticipated, as people who said 120 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: this is not a good idea. So what's he doing now? 121 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: He's saying, Okay, well, maybe inflation is bad now, but 122 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: the GOP would make it even worse. We've got an 123 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: election in the month voters have to decide. Democrats are 124 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: working to bring down the cost of things to talk 125 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: about around the kitchen table, from prescription drugs to health insurance, 126 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: to energy bills and so much more. We're standing up 127 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: for working people and the right to get a raise 128 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: and get a better job. The publisher a campaign every 129 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: day on an agenda to raise your cost. Republican wins 130 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: and platition is going to get worse. I don't even 131 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: if I don't even understand the argument that you could 132 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: make buck Like, let's pretend that you are a genius 133 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: economist and somehow you have decided that you're a Democrat. 134 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: I understand that those things don't overlap a lot. If 135 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: you're actually a genius economist because you would believe in 136 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: capitalism and those kind of things, so you probably wouldn't 137 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: embrace a socialist minds or a left and winging communist mindset. 138 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: But Buck, I don't even what is the argument that 139 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: Republicans could possibly make inflation worse by having control of Congress. 140 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: First of all, Biden has to sign any bill that 141 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: they pass, so Republicans in Congress can't pass anything, So 142 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: how could they possibly make it worse? I don't even 143 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: comprehend the argument. Did you even think of what he 144 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: could be saying? Um? Well, here is I've just to 145 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: be clear, I've been saying this now for a little while, 146 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: which is part of my and I don't want to 147 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,119 Speaker 1: get into the will Biden run again? Will Trump run again? Conversation? 148 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: But what will happen is the GOP taking control will 149 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: slow the damage that Biden and the Democrats can do, 150 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: And so the political reality of right now a year 151 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: from now will be very different. It's us Democrats will 152 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: be arguing, oh look, it's working. They're not going to argue, 153 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: oh look, you know, mommy and daddy to the credit 154 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: card away, So we're not acting like idiots anymore. Chris Hayes, 155 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: for example, started this line of argument last night. I 156 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: feel confident in predicting that if Republicans win control of 157 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: one or both houses of Congress, they will do everything 158 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: in their power to sabotage the economy to best set 159 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: them up to retake the White House in twenty twenty four. 160 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: So he's actually even taking in a slightly different direction, 161 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: which is to say Republicans will They've already the Democrats 162 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: have soured this economy. Clearly, we're in intercession. We all 163 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: know what we're heading into a worse one. That's what's 164 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: going on. Republicans will make things worse. No, Actually, the reality, 165 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: and this is where the ideological disconnect happens, is Republicans 166 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: will start slowing the damage, and then Democrats, when this 167 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: shows up in the numbers and the polling and the 168 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: inflation numbers and everything else, will say, see, you know, 169 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's going to start dropping his g's and going 170 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: with more apostrophees. We're making progress, We're doing the work. 171 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: You can make a strong argument, I think Buck that 172 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: winning both of those Senate seats in Georgia was the 173 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: worst thing that could have happened to Joe Biden, because 174 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: he could have partly blamed Republicans for where we are 175 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: in the economy right now based on not having control 176 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: of the Senate right and now, the things would not 177 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: be as bad because there wouldn't have been as much 178 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: money spent. But I think what they'll do is argue 179 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: the reason why things aren't better is because of the 180 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: obstruction in by Republicans in Congress. That's the pitch they'll 181 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: try to make in twenty four I think because you 182 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: and I also look at it from the perspective of 183 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: people who were very early on and you just go 184 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: back on our Twitter feeds and see it saying lockdowns 185 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: are crazy, mass don't work. What are these lunatics doing? 186 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: This is insane and we're frustrated. I think that there's 187 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: not more of a surge in the mentality that there 188 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: has to be. There have to be consequences for those 189 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: bad decisions in this election. But there's also the point 190 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: you brought up a few days years ago, which is 191 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: the Democrats thought they were going to be able to 192 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 1: say see the science. Yes, And by the way, I 193 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: think sometimes they do things that they know will have 194 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: malicious intent, but they think it's worth it for ideological reasons. 195 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: You know, they think, for example, that by making fossil 196 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: fuels more expensive, they're saving the planet. So they understand 197 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: that they're they're getting what they want, and then they 198 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: just lie about the intent. But I do believe they 199 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: thought that they'd beat a much better position on COVID. 200 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: And I do believe that the Democrats in Biden thought 201 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: that they'd be in a place now to see, you know, 202 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: the economy's great, it's healing. It's because I was actually 203 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: worried a year ago that when we got out of 204 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: the COVID period, Clay, things would start to look really good. 205 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: But you know, we forgot the spending. The crazy spending 206 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: inflation was their Achilles heal. Yeah, and it's wild to 207 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: think about if we had never done anything to try 208 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: to come back COVID. And again, this is why I 209 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: would love to be able to jump fifty or one 210 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: hundred years into the future and read the histories that 211 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: are being written about twenty twenty in all the fall 212 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: out when the external political realities of the day are gone. 213 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: Maybe a hundred years is the right answer. You know, 214 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: if you go read a book today about like you 215 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: were doing recently, Buck, world War One. The politics of 216 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: who argued about World War One are not still vibrant. Right. 217 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: There isn't some group that says, oh, we got it right, 218 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: the other side got it wrong. It's more of just 219 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: a recitation of the narrative without the passions of the 220 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: day baked in on the same level. One hundred years 221 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: from now, all those people who argued they were going 222 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: to be on the right side of history because they 223 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: were saving Grandma's are going to look like imbeciles in 224 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: the same way. We look back now, Buck, you did 225 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: the research on this too. In the plague, you know 226 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: how people wore those masks with long beaks to try 227 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: to convince themselves that that was going to keep them 228 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: from getting getting the plague. And we look at those 229 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: masks now and the way that they walked around, and 230 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: we say, boy, they were really not enlightened. I guarantee 231 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 1: you there were a lot of people walking around in 232 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: the play gear saying, oh, look at these idiot people 233 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: who are not wearing these beaked masks that will keep 234 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 1: us from getting the play You go back, you learn 235 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: about the history of doctor John Snow not to be 236 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: confused with the game of Thrones character in eighteen fifties 237 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: London saying, hey, guys, I think this cholera thing might 238 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: be tied to the water, and the Fauci's of the 239 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: time destroy all saying it's not in the water, it's 240 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: smelly air. There's smelly air that smells bad, that kills you, 241 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 1: so don't worry. Drink the water with the bad stuff 242 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: in it. If you want to read, did you read 243 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: The Ghost Map? I think is what it was called. 244 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: I'm familiar with the book. I know the story from 245 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: a different book called Pandemic by Sonja Shaw. Stephen Johnson, 246 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: I believe wrote a book called The Ghost Map, which 247 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: is a really interesting and relatively easy The guy, Stephen 248 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: Johnson's a genius. He's written several great books, but that 249 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: one is fantastic if you're at all curious about how 250 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: science responds the new ideas. The beginnings of JP Morgan Bank, 251 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: one of the largest banking institutions in the world, goes 252 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: back to the Chemical Bank, which has Oceanus, the Greek 253 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: god of the ocean or Roman god of the ocean whatever, 254 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: as its symbol. Because it was initially a water importation 255 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: company to get a charter for New York State the bank. 256 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: For the bank to actually get a charter, it had 257 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: to do some public good, and the public good was 258 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: the importation of water into New York because so many 259 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: people were dying from cholera and typhus. By the way, 260 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: the bank ended up not really doing it the right way. Also, 261 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: New York has some of the best water in the world. 262 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: Still people say that I love New York. I really 263 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: really do. Turns out, I'm not sure that's I think 264 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: that's one of those things. It's like we say we 265 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: have the best bagels because of our water. I'm not 266 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: sure that's true either, but I think you have good water. 267 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: I'm actually defending New York City here, you know, I'm 268 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: not going to defend the Biden White House lack of testoster. 269 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: And you know what I saw happen. I couldn't believe it. 270 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: We live in such a anti masculine culture. Did you 271 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: see Troy Aikman was on Thursday Night Football and he said, well, 272 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't Thursday Night Football. I think it was 273 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: maybe Sunday. He said, hey, we've gotta take it was 274 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 1: Monday night football. We've got to take the quarterbacks out 275 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: of dresses. Or something like that, meaning we can't play 276 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: like girls because we are men. You know, they made 277 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: Troy Aikman apologize for that. This effeminate, no testosterone culture 278 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: that we live in has created a bunch of loser 279 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: men without any spine. And many of those men, it's 280 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: not going to surprise you vote for Joe Biden and 281 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: lack testosterone and work in his White House. Now, do 282 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: you want to be like those guys? Or do you 283 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: want to make America great? And do you want to 284 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: make America great with testosterone? If you do, you need 285 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: to go to Chalk.

Inflation numbers came out this week, not good 303 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: for Democrats, but big questions still loom over the economy 304 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: in general, recession jobs, what's going to happen here? We have, 305 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: as promised, Steve Moore with us now. He's an economist 306 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: and a distinguished Fellow in economics at the Heritage Foundation, 307 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: former advisor in the Trump White House as well. Steve, 308 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: what was going on with the numbers this week? Man, 309 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: Looks looks like the transitory just dismission of inflation line 310 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: from Biden not going to stay for very long, is it? Yeah? Now, 311 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: this is the seventh month now of seven or eight 312 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: months now of eight percent plus inflation, and it was 313 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: almost exactly a year ago. You're exactly right that Biden 314 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: and the others in the White House that the temporary 315 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: it's transitory. It's going to go away. And remember the 316 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: other thing they said about inflation. Do you remember when 317 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: the I think it was White House Chief of Staff 318 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: on Claim tweeted out that inflation was just a high 319 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: class problem. Remember that just affects the high class people. Gee, 320 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm not in the high class, and it sor affects me, 321 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: and I think affects this about everybody listening to this 322 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: radio show. So this is a crisis. We're in a 323 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: real crisis. I think the most important thing for people 324 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: to understand in terms of how we got here, because 325 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: the people in the White House either are pretending they 326 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: don't know or they're just you know, stupid, is that 327 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: we've spent and borrowed four point one trillion dollars since 328 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden came into office. You could make a strong 329 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 1: argument that Joe Biden is the most fiscally reckless president 330 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: in American history to ring up that kind of debt, 331 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: and by the way, that a lot of that was 332 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: paid for by just printing money. Now, if you don't 333 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: have to have a PhD in economics right to understand 334 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: if you're going to flush the zone and just saturate 335 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: the economy with all of this cheap money. What's gonna 336 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: happen to go over the prisis they're going to go up. 337 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: I mean, anyways, as plain as the you know, sun 338 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: rising the east and setting them the west. So I'm 339 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: just surprised if anybody in the White House is surprise 340 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: that we have this kind of inflation and it is 341 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: now going to be kind of painful to ring it 342 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 1: out of the economy. You know that fet is now 343 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: having to raise rates, But much more importantly, it's the 344 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 1: single most important thing we can do as a country 345 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: right now in terms of getting the inflation down to 346 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 1: the two to three percent range where that we want 347 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: it is to take a chainsaw to this budget and cut, cut, cut, 348 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: And I hope Republicans do that when they take Congress. Okay, 349 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: so thanks for joining us, Steve. How long is this 350 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,959 Speaker 1: going to take? Right? We're sitting at over eight percent 351 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: inflation now, Yeah, you've got mortgage rates that are about 352 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: to go over seven percent, which will be the highest 353 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: in twenty years for everybody out there who is a 354 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: generationally high mortgage rates. Obviously, mortgage rates under Jimmy Carter 355 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: in what seems like a somewhat historically analogous situation. We're 356 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: way higher sixteen seventeen percent back in the early eighties. 357 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: How much worse is this going to get? And how 358 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: long does it take to get resolved back to some 359 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: form of normalcy. I wish I could give you a 360 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: good answer for that. How long will this take? I mean, 361 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: we have people in the White House who are incompetent 362 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 1: when it comes to the economy, and they know. We're 363 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: the ones who did the study. I don't know if 364 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: you remember that souted a few months ago. They found 365 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: that the majority of people in the big administration don't 366 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 1: have any business experience whatsoever, not zero. Not only have 367 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: they not worked for a business, I mean not only 368 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: the number run of business, they've never even worked for 369 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: a business. They have no idea what they're even for Democrats, 370 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: your study showed that the Biden administration's ability in terms 371 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: of experience was historically inept on the business side. Yeah. No, 372 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: No other administration, even the Obama administration had some competent people. 373 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: It's hard to point to I would have I thought 374 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: that it would be Janet Yellen, you know, I thought, 375 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: oh good, yeah, Steve, what's happened with her? By the way, 376 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: because we were told she was a technocrat. Yeah, she 377 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: has drunk all the kool aid, basically, all of a sudden, 378 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: she's a climate climate expert. Did you notice that? You know? 379 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: So she has been a complete disappointment. So there's nobody. 380 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: I mean that The analogy I like to use, gentlemen, 381 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: is that, um, it would be like giving the keys 382 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: to a Ferrari to a twelve year old and having 383 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: them drive down the middle of the highway. You know, 384 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: That's what we've got in the White House right now. 385 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: So I have a hard time answering reflection because, let's 386 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: we still have two years of this guy. I mean, 387 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: we still have more than two years of him in 388 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 1: the White House. They are they are completely incompetent. They 389 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: don't know what to do. And what I'm telling you 390 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: is what I'm telling Republicans they need to do, which 391 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: is to start take a change out of that budget. 392 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: We have spent so much money and the debt is 393 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: you know, when I first came to Washington, guys in 394 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four, the national debt was one point five 395 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: trillion dollars. Do you know what it is today? Trillion? 396 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: I mean, come on, and by the way, It's not 397 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: just the Democrats who love to play Santa Claus. The 398 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: Republicans do too, but at LEAs they're a little bit 399 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: more skin flens than than the Democrats are. So until 400 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: we get this spend, this is a global problem. By 401 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: the way, I was on Fox Today with Austin gould Sky. 402 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: He's a Democrat who worked for for Obama. He was 403 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: his chief economic advisor. You're a good guy. I mean, 404 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: he's a friend of mine, but I don't always agree 405 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: with him. And he says, well, well, you know this 406 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: is it's not just the United States, is all over 407 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: the world. Yeah, you know. Do you know the developed 408 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: countries in the world since COVID hit have borrowed and 409 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: spent and printed twenty two trillion dollars twenty two We 410 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: have never seen anything like this before in the history 411 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: of the world. This is a grand experiment. Do you 412 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: guys know what modern monetary theories? Oh? Yeah, you talked 413 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: about it many times here, though you're hearing it a 414 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: lot less these days, Stephen from Democrats, But we're doing 415 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: but they're doing modern monetary they put it in place. 416 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: This ding bad idea for those who don't know what 417 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about This is the idea that came up 418 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: with some second rate economists and some second rate universities, 419 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: which is, it was kind of we laugh when they 420 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: came up with a stupid idea that the country of 421 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: the United States is so rich we could just span 422 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: and span and borrow and barrow and print money. It's 423 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: not gonna have any negative effect. And you know, we thought, 424 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: what a stupid idea that is. But the Biden came in, 425 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: he did it, And so now we're facing and my 426 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: only surprises has been inflation is even higher than it is. Well, 427 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: that's where we got to ask you, Stephen. We're speaking 428 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: to Stephen Moore, as you guys can tell, he's fired up. 429 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: But that's because we all iv people right now are saying, 430 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: what the heck is this administration doing? Recession? Recession? Recession? 431 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: We were talking about it more a couple of months 432 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: ago when it was clear we were in two negative 433 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: quarters of economic growth in this country, which is the 434 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: traditional but not official recession definition. Are we in one 435 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: and where are we going? I think is the even 436 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: bigger question for a lot of people right now who 437 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: are looking at not being able to afford homes because 438 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: the mortgage payments have gone up, etc. Etc. Okay, So 439 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: the average family in America and the middle income family, 440 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: average middle income family has lost four to five thousand 441 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 1: dollars in purchasing power because of this economy and this 442 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: runaway inflation. Now, would you define that as a recession? Yes? 443 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: I would. There's two of us, Yes, we would. It's 444 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: not good. You know that's not good. You know when 445 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: you have And by the way, I worked for Trump, 446 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: as you guys know, we raised family income and in 447 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: four years by sixty one hundred dollars adjusted for inflation. 448 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: In almost two years, Biden's wiping all of those games out. 449 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: If I sound frustrated and angry, I am. And you 450 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: know why because if we just stuck with the Trump policies, 451 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: the economy would be booming right now. We'd been the 452 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: biggest boom ember COVID, over all the businesses reopening, people 453 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: going back to work, Trump's pro energy policies. Can you 454 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: imagine how Steve? Yeah, I'm glad you bring that up, 455 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: because I just want to ask you this question. You 456 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: worked in the Trump White House. If COVID doesn't happen, right, 457 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: let's wave a magic wand and pretend that COVID never arises, 458 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: that it doesn't come out of the Chinese lab which 459 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: book Buck and I think it did. That we don't 460 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: make the disastrous decisions that we did. In February of 461 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the United States economy under Donald Trump and 462 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: you guys leadership was the greatest that it has ever 463 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: been in the history of our country. What would the 464 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: world look like, you know, we talk about the recovery, 465 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: what would it look like if COVID had never happened. So, 466 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you it's kind of an interesting story. 467 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: This is true. I remember waking up in the middle 468 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: of the night in like a round February twenty twenty, 469 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: and I had this weird premonition. I said, oh my god, 470 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: everything is going so well. We got the best economy ever. 471 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: You know, Trump, Trump is going to leave, you know, 472 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: have a Reagan style of reelection. He's gonna win forty 473 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: eight states. It's gonna be the biggest blowout ever. And 474 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: that's the course we're in line. Remember thinking something's gonna happen. 475 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna get hit by an asteroid, or you know, 476 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: there's gonna be an earthquake, you know, or there's gonna 477 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: be a you know, a war or a terrorist tech. 478 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: I just had this premonition that something was going to 479 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: ruin this beautiful picture, and I got out on the struth. 480 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: I really did. And then three weeks later we get 481 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: hit by this virus that nobody could have possibly saw happening. 482 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: And instantly I've got to say this because I feel 483 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: strong about it. Trump does not get enough credit for 484 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: the way he handled COVID. Now, did he make mistakes, Yes, 485 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: we were all at the beginning very confused about how 486 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: deadly this virus would be, how to deal with it. 487 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: We hadn't had a pandemic like this, and you know 488 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: what seventy five years. But Trump was the one. I 489 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: was there in the room in the old Office so 490 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: many times. He wanted to get the economy reopened as 491 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: quickly as possible. And it was people like Fauci and 492 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: all these other quote helped people and all these governors, 493 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: Oh no, you can't do that. You're gonna kill people. 494 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: And Trump was exactly right. And the thing that Trump 495 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 1: did that was it does not get enough attention appreciation 496 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: is that Trump basically said, you know what, We're going 497 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: to let the States make the decision. And that was 498 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: a brilliant decision because if we I guarantee you guys, 499 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: I wonder if you agree with me on this. If 500 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: Joe Biden had been president when COVID hit, he would 501 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: have shut down the whole damn and it would have 502 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: been catastrophic. And so I give Trump a lot of 503 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: credit for doing a good job. And by the way, 504 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: the last six months that Trump was in office, you 505 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: know that from like July through January July of twenty 506 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: twenty to January twenty twenty one, we were in a 507 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 1: ferocious recovery. This is the BS lines from Biden said, Oh, 508 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 1: I took over this economy that was in shatters. No 509 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: he didn't. The economy grew twenty percent in the last 510 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: six months of twenty twenty. Looked at those numbers up. 511 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: I'm sick and tired of Biden lying about what he 512 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: didn't inherit an economy crumbling. He inherit an economy. All 513 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: he had to do is just leave it alone. So Steve, 514 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: I got to ask you again, though, where where does 515 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: let's let's say Republicans actually do what we're hoping they're 516 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: going to do, which is they take the House, they 517 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: take the Senate. Yeah, so you know, the asylum, there'll 518 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: be adult there'll be adult supervision again to some degree, 519 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: as you point out, Republicans been a little too much too, 520 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: But it's not it's not as though they're trying to 521 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: implode our economy and undermine our currency. Right what does 522 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: the economy I look like in that scenario by you know, 523 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: March April of next year. Are we are things starting 524 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: to turn around? Are we actually just feeling, you know, 525 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: the full punch in the face of where we're heading 526 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: right now? That's a tough question because I think you're 527 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: going to have certainly the Republic. It's very, very, very 528 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: important and I'm not a Republican, I'm not, but it 529 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: is so important that these people who have done this 530 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: to our country are thrown out of office in a 531 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: resounding way. I mean, if you care about our country, 532 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: you have to vote against these people. This is almost 533 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: criminally financially, the liability that we're going to spend generations 534 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: paying for what Joe Biden and Nanti Pelosi and Pelosi 535 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: and Chucky Schumer have done to our country is it 536 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: is so outrageous. The massive amount of debt, so It's 537 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: going to take a long time to get us out 538 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: of this ditch that they've driven the economy into. And 539 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm worried you guys talking about 540 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: a recession. I'm worried about a financial collapse. I mean, 541 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: the amount of debt that's out there right now. What 542 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: and you've got people don't know what they're doing. So 543 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: having the Republicans run Congress can stop a lot of 544 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: the bad things. But what's where's the growth going to 545 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: come from. They don't want to cut taxes, they want 546 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: to don't want to produce American energy, they don't want 547 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: to reduce the burden of government. They don't want to 548 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: do anything. They are completely infatuated and obsessed with this 549 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: crazy cult of climate change. Like the people can't balance 550 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: the budget, they can't get the budgets, you know, they 551 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,719 Speaker 1: can't get the border security, they can't stop crime. They 552 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: can't do anything right. You of the people think they're 553 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: going to change the toughness of the planet. It's a mess. Uh. 554 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: And that's rolling the way a kid. I mean, it's 555 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: just don't why did we put these people in charge? 556 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: We didn't do it. Don't blames Steve we tried, we 557 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: warned everybody. I'm blaming you two. Yeah, I know, it's 558 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: I think the American people, I'll understand. Whoops, we made 559 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: a big mistake. I hope so Stephen Moore, everybody, Heritage 560 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: Foundation Economic Economics Fellow, a voice of sanity along with 561 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: us in an insane world club. Yes, indeed, thanks to 562 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: Steve there, although I think he got a lot of 563 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: people rattleheaded in the weekend. You talk about economic collapse, 564 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: which honestly, I think a lot of you, probably in 565 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: the back of your mind, are worried about as well, 566 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: and that ties in with all of this. It's a 567 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: conspiracy until it's not. It's a myth until it's not. 568 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 1: Remember when everything you wanted in a grocery store was 569 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: there until it suddenly wasn't. Remember when you wanted to 570 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: go buy baby formula and you couldn't find it. Maybe 571 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: you got the grandparents involved. Maybe you are the grandparents 572 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: that were involved in helping to look for your kid's 573 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: own baby formula. Look, you buy insurance for your car 574 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 1: and your health, But when you store away food, some 575 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: people call that paranoia. We call it being smart. And 576 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: that's why I want you to check out this website. 577 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: Just trust me on this.

Something to 614 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: look forward to. I guess we're also going to do 615 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: an animal Thunderdome. I think in a little bit some 616 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: of you may have seen this video put it up 617 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: at Clayonbuck dot Com. It is remarkable. I'll just as 618 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: a little teaser, what would you do if you had 619 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: a mountain lion, puma, cougar? Those are puma and cougar. 620 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: I think they're the same, right or is this different regions? 621 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: It's such a great question. Panther, mountain lion, puma, cougar, 622 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: like all of them are subtle variations depending on geographic region. 623 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: And I'm sure there's some expert on the mountain lion 624 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: family that is going to just blow us up. One 625 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: of our Colorado listeners. It's like, how could they not know? 626 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 1: But yeah, you can call it a tell us. But 627 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: what would you do if if if a cougar and 628 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: of the feline variety, yes, started backing you up into 629 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: a corner, and you did have a hand gone on you. 630 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,760 Speaker 1: There's a video out there that we'll be discussing in 631 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: a little bit. I also want to take more of 632 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: your calls today, please eight hundred two A two two 633 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: eight eight two debates Clay. They were happening last night 634 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: two very important races. One a governor's race in Michigan, 635 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: the other a Senate race or man Ron John Ron 636 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: Johnson yesterday had last night had this debate. We had 637 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: him on the show yesterday from Wisconsin. But there are 638 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: a couple of things where it's just it's entertaining to 639 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: watch Democrats run from defund the police the way they 640 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: are now. I mean it is this is like the 641 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,919 Speaker 1: scene in the Godzilla movie where Godzilla is like trampling 642 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: a city and everyone's just running as fast as they can. 643 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: That is the Democrat Party right now, with defund the 644 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: police instead of Godzilla. It's remarkable to watch, and it's 645 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: also so eminently predictable. I mean, you talked about our 646 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 1: tweets on mass go back, like everybody in the world 647 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: to sports at the time was terrified to say anything 648 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: other than George Lloyd is the greatest human being who's 649 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: ever lived, right. I was like, do we really think 650 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: I was not surprisingly the exception, but I would say, 651 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: do we really think that saying police are the enemy 652 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: and defunding I started saying it as soon as the 653 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,280 Speaker 1: argument started back in May and June of twenty defunding 654 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: the police single stupidest political argument I've ever seen in 655 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: my life. I was critical of the Trump administration for 656 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: the one month period. People people give me heed for 657 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 1: this one It's like I voted from twice guys, like 658 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: I was in the bunker with them the whole time. 659 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: The Trump administration disappeared for about a month there when 660 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: it came to the riots, it was when the statues 661 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: and you know, they got back into it. But for 662 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,680 Speaker 1: about a month that the GOP generally and the Trump 663 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: White House more specifically was caught off guard and kind 664 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: of kind of off its game. Not really, And I'll 665 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: tell you what happened, Bucket. It's sad. There were so 666 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: many white people who were terrified of being called race, 667 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 1: that's right, that they wouldn't say a word of criticism, 668 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 1: even like to me, the White House was scared of it. 669 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that was that was amazing. Why, That's why, 670 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: that's why it's so powerful. That's why I think you 671 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: can argue that Trump is not in any way remotely 672 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: a racist because the people who are terrified of being 673 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: called racist in positions of power in America, white men 674 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: to a large degree, white women, um or it said nothing. 675 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: And so as our cities were burning in the wildest 676 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: one of all, buck And I think this is when 677 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: a lot of you said I'm done with Fauci. Was 678 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: when they gave an exception to allow hundreds of thousands 679 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: of people, okay, good for health, good weren't allowed to 680 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: leave your home and if you did, you are a 681 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,919 Speaker 1: monster who was killing grandma. But people who were going 682 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: out there saying, you know, cops are racist murderers, defund 683 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: police and all this stuff. Bill de Blasio was a 684 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 1: big part of this, by the way, here in New 685 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: York City, the mayor, he was pushing forward my mayor, 686 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: my mayor. In Nashville, he couldn't do anything. He was 687 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: shutting down every bar. But fine with tons to tens 688 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: of thousands of people walking around protest the most disgusting 689 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: and blatant double standard possible. I mean, it would be 690 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 1: like watching a parent who yells it, yells at someone's 691 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: kid in the playground for hitting another kid with a 692 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: shovel in the face in the sandbox, and then were 693 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: when their kid does it. I went to a Broadway 694 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 1: play Clay I was taken a long time ago. It 695 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 1: was actually on a date. The entire James Gandolfini was 696 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 1: in it. I mean, it was a big play. The 697 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 1: whole thing was about parents arguing over whose kid hit 698 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: whose kid first. The whole thing it was the worst 699 00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen in my life. It was like 700 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: a big award winning play a decade ago. Anyway, Um, 701 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: but the uh now I lost my trade of thought 702 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 1: on the analogy, kid, you don't care. The hypocrisy was 703 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: off the off the chart. Here is Tutor Dixon going 704 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: back to the initial premise. Here the debate last night 705 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: running away from defund police. Defund police is now something 706 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: that Democrats pretend like never happened, and Tutor Dixon's not 707 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: letting Whitmer get away with it. We know the governor 708 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: came out and said that she supports the spirit of 709 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,200 Speaker 1: defund the police. In fact, we know that when we 710 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: were all locked down, she went out and marched with 711 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: folks who held up signs that said defund the police. 712 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: I'm actually endorsed by the largest police union in the state, 713 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,319 Speaker 1: the Police Officers Association of Michigan, and more than two 714 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: dozen sheriffs, including Democrats, because they are so upset about 715 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 1: the fact that the governor doesn't support them. My plan 716 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,359 Speaker 1: will put a billion new dollars into policing to make 717 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: sure they know they're supported, but also to recruit and 718 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: retain new police officers. It's so challenging to bring police 719 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: officers to a state where the chief executive officer has 720 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: supported defund the police. Everybody in Michigan should keep that 721 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: in mind. The worst on lockdowns Whitmer and certainly in 722 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: the Midwest, and one of the worst on the defund 723 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: issue of any governor, and super hypocritical. To make the 724 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,839 Speaker 1: point earlier, like, remember her husband got his vote out. 725 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: Voting is huge up in Michigan. My wife's family is 726 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: all from Michigan. They allowing you to take boats out, 727 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: and her husband got his boat out in contravention of 728 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,840 Speaker 1: his own wife's rules. Remember when Whitmer got caught out 729 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: in a restaurant, also violating the number of people that 730 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: could be out at a restaurant. She's awful. She was like, 731 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,560 Speaker 1: oh gosh, rules are for little people and buck Remember 732 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: she also had like in the Midwest, to your point, 733 00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 1: they were not allowing you to buy certain products. They 734 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: shut down aisles of stores, which I think a lot 735 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: of people have forgotten about. You couldn't go and get 736 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: like gardening supplies inside of a store. I mean, I 737 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,439 Speaker 1: gained like fifteen pounds during COVID, and I blame the Democrats. 738 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: Damn it is there. They kept I don't smoke weed, obviously, 739 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: but they kept the weed stores open. They kept the 740 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 1: food delivery service going. But no gyms, no outdoor activity, 741 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,719 Speaker 1: no playgrounds. It's like they were trying to make us 742 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 1: fat and miserable and easy to control, because I think 743 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: they were. But do you hear Whitmer The way she goes, 744 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: the way she's tried to come back on the issue 745 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,400 Speaker 1: of public safe, Let's just put it that way and cops. 746 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: Here she does the you don't care. You always know 747 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: when Democrats they go gun control, and let's make this 748 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: about dead children. Like here she is saying, you know, 749 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: you just don't care about kids being shot in classrooms. 750 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: The same month as the Oxford school shooting, where four 751 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: children were murdered, eight were injured, and the community was terrorized, 752 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: Tutor Dixon posted on her social media a picture of 753 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 1: her shooting a gun, but the caption that said gun 754 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: control means using both hands. She is too dangerous and 755 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: too out of touch to be trusted with protecting our kids. 756 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 1: She'll put the Second Amendment before second graders every time. 757 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: We cannot let that happen. Put the Second Amendment before 758 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,160 Speaker 1: second grader it's so pathetic, it's so stupid. You know 759 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: who I'm sure is in favor from Afar of New 760 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:55,759 Speaker 1: York Times Square gun free zone, people like Whitmer. It's like, oh, yeah, 761 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: they won't take guns in now, the bad people, they 762 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: won't do it. It's crazy you would. If I could 763 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: pick somebody Buck, who would lose, who was an incumbent, 764 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: I think she would be at the very top of 765 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: the list, honestly, because if if there were true consequences 766 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 1: for awful decisions as the chief executive, which is what 767 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,959 Speaker 1: our democracy is supposed to be about, there's no way 768 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,720 Speaker 1: to justify that Gretchen Whitmer would be back in office 769 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: in a state like Michigan, wherein theory Republicans can There 770 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: are enough same people in Michigan, and we're talking to 771 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: them right now, enough sane people there to get this 772 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: loon out of office. I just I know, Buck, you 773 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: talked about going from New York to Florida and how 774 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:43,680 Speaker 1: much you felt like you were going from East Berlin 775 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 1: to West Berlin. I know because my wife's family was 776 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: in Michigan. When they would come visit us in Tennessee, 777 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: they were in disbelief over the amount of freedom that 778 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: we had in Tennessee compared to Michigan because of what 779 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer was doing to put their state rule not 780 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: really a law, just executive order that you couldn't travel 781 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: between houses that you own. Someone explain the epidemiological basis 782 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: for I can't go from my place in the city 783 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: to a cabin in the woods, where I mean you'd 784 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: be safer from everything not allowed Clay and again, Michiganders 785 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:28,360 Speaker 1: listening to us right now, Gretchen Whitmer needs to pay 786 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: for her awful management of your state during COVID. She 787 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: was one of the worst governors in America. I know 788 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,839 Speaker 1: there are a lot of different factors out there right now, 789 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,200 Speaker 1: but she needs to lose. She would be at the 790 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,720 Speaker 1: top of my list for people who legitimately made awful 791 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 1: decisions and need to be replaced for that reason.

Yeah, we know that it's going 829 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,920 Speaker 1: to be tight up until election day.

Support us that we can finish strong. 832 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:56,720 Speaker 1: But you guys, momentums on our side. Right now. People 833 00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: are waking up every day to high gas prices, to 834 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: groceries being hire, to inflation, to crime. They see it 835 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,439 Speaker 1: right in front of their eyes, and they're really fed 836 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,000 Speaker 1: up with the Democrats, who obviously have the son at 837 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 1: the White House and the House, and I think they're 838 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: ready for a change. Rona. We're talking about twenty five 839 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: days right at that till the mid terms. I know 840 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 1: this is a little bit early, but is there an 841 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: East Coast state that you think will be an early 842 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,399 Speaker 1: barometer for those of us who are nerds like Buck 843 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 1: and Eye and are going to be watching returns come in. 844 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: Is it North Carolina? Is it Florida? Where will you 845 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: be looking on the East Coast to say, okay, this 846 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: is a sign of how the country might be going 847 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: early on that night. Where can we get signs? So 848 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,319 Speaker 1: you know, you'd like to say in New York, but 849 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,840 Speaker 1: their results are so slow because of the way they 850 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,279 Speaker 1: administer their elections. I think you got to look at 851 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: Rhode Island too. Alan Sung just a stellar rock star candidate. 852 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 1: That's a flip for us. And then of course Florida 853 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: we've got some key seats Anna Paulina Luna. Obviously, if 854 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:03,879 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio and Ronjesi had just come out quickly out 855 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: of the gate with big wins, that's gonna be a 856 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,840 Speaker 1: bell leather to a pretty good night. What are you 857 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: guys doing to try to help in some of these 858 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 1: very tight races like Warnock Walker in Georgia. We just 859 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 1: had Adam Laxalt on a few few minutes ago out 860 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: in Nevada, and obviously Blake Masters, who's getting money from 861 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: Peter Till but apparently not from Mitch McConnell. What's going on, 862 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: So they aren't season all of those races and all 863 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 1: of those states, and we have just a unique role. 864 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: Obviously the past year we've been focusing on voter registration. 865 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: Well we've really built up some good numbers in states 866 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 1: like Pennsylvania and Florida, North Carolina and Nevada. Now we 867 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 1: switched to the get out the vote efforts. We have 868 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 1: trained close to eight hundred thousand volunteers, we have over 869 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: a thousand staff in the field. We've opened thirty eight 870 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:58,000 Speaker 1: thousand or thirty eight community centers dealing with Hispanic, Asian 871 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: and African American voters. In Nevada we have three of 872 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 1: those offices open, and Georgia we have two. In Texas 873 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 1: we have five. So our get out the vote and 874 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: our infrastructure to turn out the vote, it's going to 875 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 1: be the biggest difference, I think in a lot of 876 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 1: these races when it's tight, because you've got to be 877 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: able to go knock those independent voters doors by their 878 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,440 Speaker 1: neighbor and the best way to influence the vote is 879 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 1: through somebody who knows you, and that's what we've been 880 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: building for the past two years. Rona, You and I 881 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 1: and Buck and a lot of our listeners pay a 882 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 1: great deal of attention on a day to day basis 883 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 1: to what's happening in the American political universe. Frankly, a 884 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: huge percentage of Americans don't and a lot of people 885 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: make their decision in the final two weeks, in the 886 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,799 Speaker 1: final ten days. What is the message that resonates you 887 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:48,839 Speaker 1: guys are finding with those people? And how do you 888 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 1: think those late deciding voters, the independence, the unaffiliated, the 889 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 1: people who frankly are just super busy and not that 890 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 1: plugged in on politics, are going to break based on 891 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 1: what you're seeing twenty five days out. Well, you're so right. 892 00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: People aren't paying attention and people are living their lives, 893 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 1: and you know, those of us who are dialed in, 894 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 1: we don't understand, but a lot of Americans aren't paying attention. 895 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,400 Speaker 1: So the number one issue that's driving the voters that 896 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: we're seeing is the economy and crime, especially in states 897 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,239 Speaker 1: that have huge cities with massive crime issues. But it's 898 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 1: the ground game is so impactful because we need to 899 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: identify through our data, which the RNC does, who are 900 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,719 Speaker 1: our swing voters, who are our local pensity voters, Who 901 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 1: do we think we can turn out for this election, 902 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,279 Speaker 1: and how do we get them to go vote? Have 903 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,720 Speaker 1: they requested their absentee ballot? If they have, why haven't 904 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,919 Speaker 1: they turned it in? And that's where the ground game 905 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: is so important and that's what the RNC does. So again, 906 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 1: if anybody can support us at goop dot com, we 907 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 1: could use it because this is going to be an 908 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,320 Speaker 1: election where turnout is going to make the difference. In 909 00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,919 Speaker 1: a mid term, less people turn out than a presidential year, 910 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 1: and people might not even vote because their apathetic, or 911 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,840 Speaker 1: they're unhappy or not paying attention. And that's where that 912 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: ground game is going to be the difference. Speaking Rona McDaniel, 913 00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,120 Speaker 1: chairwoman of the r ANDC, just one more for you. 914 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 1: If you had to pick right now a what seems 915 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:17,719 Speaker 1: like somewhat long shot GOP pick up in other governor's race, 916 00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,200 Speaker 1: senate race, you name it. Can you give us? Can 917 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,080 Speaker 1: you give us one that you think may surprise people? Well, 918 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 1: I mean, we're all watching the Oregon governor's race. Christine 919 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,200 Speaker 1: Drayson who's just ran a great race. I think that's 920 00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 1: something that'll surprise the country if we pick up a 921 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 1: governor's race in a state like Oregon. But then you 922 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: got to look at um candidates like Tiffany Smiley and 923 00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:43,399 Speaker 1: Washington State or Joe O. Day. I think those will 924 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,279 Speaker 1: be surprised wins to the country and you know, very 925 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,759 Speaker 1: blue state. But if it's a wave night, those are 926 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,879 Speaker 1: the type of seats that will pick up RONA last 927 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 1: question for you, that's a really good one from Buck. 928 00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: Buck and I have been talking about the amount of young, 929 00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: diverse candidates that are running as a Republicans. You mentioned 930 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 1: Fung in Rhode Island. There are five or six Latinos 931 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 1: out there that may get elected to Congress representing Republicans. 932 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 1: What are you seeing in terms of Hispanic movement, in 933 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 1: terms of maybe voters who have not traditionally been open 934 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 1: to voting Republican moving into camp read So we've seen 935 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,919 Speaker 1: this realignment with Hispanic voters. We saw in twenty twenty 936 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,720 Speaker 1: where we had big wins in Miami right with Carlos 937 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: Humenes and O Virus Alazar. But now that's moving over 938 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,200 Speaker 1: to Texas with Myra Flores and Monica de la Cruz 939 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 1: and Cassie Garcia, and then you go to Arizona you 940 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 1: look at Juan Siscomani. We have so many great candidates 941 00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 1: and the expansion that has come from intentional investment the 942 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,000 Speaker 1: RNC with these Hispanic community centers and our engagement in 943 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,720 Speaker 1: community saying hey, the Democrat Party has taken your vote 944 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 1: for granted forever, and we're here to earn your vote. 945 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:02,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, gas prices are higher, your families 946 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: paying more to put food on the table, your kids 947 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,920 Speaker 1: are falling behind because of education choice has made by 948 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,319 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. Maybe it's time to take a look 949 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,600 Speaker 1: at the Republican Party and I think you're going to 950 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 1: see a huge swing with Hispanic voters.
