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 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody, Thursday edition of The 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. We've got a lot 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: to talk to you about. We are obviously very much mobilized, enthused, 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,240 Speaker 1: focused in on this midterm election, which is starting to 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: break at just the right time in just the right way. 7 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: I think increasingly. It really is just down to a 8 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: very simple, a very straightforward proposition. This election comes down 9 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: to whether a majority of the American people care that 10 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: Democrats have been wrong about everything for the last two years. 11 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: Pretty straightforward, Clay. I mean, it's just do a majority. 12 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: Obviously a big percentage of us meeting of the American 13 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: people are going to vote Democrat no matter what. But 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: does a majority care that Democrats are wrong about everything 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: and have made everything worse and have failed and want 16 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: to keep ailing. So that's really what this referendum in 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: this midterm election could be attributed to. We're also going 18 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: to discuss the vaccine CDC for a vaccine for kids 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: CDC mandate. That meeting did happen yesterday. And you cannot 20 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: trust anything. I mean, I've actually run some informal polls 21 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: on this one. Clay, who is less trustworthy at this 22 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: point for the American people, the CDC or the FBI. 23 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you it's it's neck and neck. It 24 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: gets it gets real close over that one. We've also 25 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: got Joe Kent joining us in the second hour of 26 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: veteran guy's just a badass, amazing candidate out of Washington's 27 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: third district. We really are hoping. I mean, he's somebody 28 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna hear a lot about after this election. 29 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: And then Clay. Can I say Clay's favorite of the 30 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: of the contenders right now? I mean, Clay your favorite 31 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: of the non incumbents running for statewide off I think 32 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: the most talented politician, Democrat or Republican is Carry Lake. 33 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: So Carry Lake would be a would be a first 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: round which number one. That's a good it would be 35 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: a fun, actual h draft for us to have. But 36 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: she would be my overall number one draft pick for 37 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: any candidate running statewide office, non in, non incumbent R 38 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: non incumbent. I gotta say, I'm also you know, she's 39 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: she's a very good candidate for Oregon, but amazing Drayson 40 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: Christine Drayson be. You know, Carry Lake, you need that 41 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: she's got enough there's enough Republicans in her state that 42 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: she can be a fighter. I think, you know, Drayson's 43 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: laid back, low key, soft spoken, but sane, reasonable mom 44 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: approach works really well in Oregon. But but you're really 45 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: with Carry Lake. You're talking about national, national political figure. 46 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: I think that everybody should go study Carry Lake's campaign 47 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: because she has been I think probably the most available 48 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: to media candidate almost out there on either side. That is, 49 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: she's always answering questions from the media, but she is 50 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: recording every interaction that she does so that the media 51 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: cannot distort what she's saying, and in fact, she's sharing 52 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: many of the answers to questions that she gives. And 53 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 1: I just think it is a roadmap for what talented 54 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: Republican politician should do because it strips away much of 55 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: the power of the media to define you and allows 56 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: your audience to see you yourself. And I think that's 57 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: why she's gonna win beat Katie Hobbs by a pretty 58 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: substantial margin. And she was an underdog. Remember Buck as 59 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: recently as September. I remember when you and I were 60 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: down in Austin. I came on and I said, there 61 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: are three underdogs right now that I think are going 62 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: to win their elections. Carry Lake, who is now a 63 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: big favorite in the gambling markets, herschel Walker, and doctor 64 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: oz So. Carry Lake was an underdog as recently as 65 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: basically Labor Day, and now she's pulling away, and I 66 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: think she's gonna win by four or five points. It 67 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: feels like we are heading toward a moment of national sanity. 68 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: Dare I say a moment of national healing? For the 69 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: saying among us, For the people who are still furious 70 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: about the Stalinist airline attendants telling you to pull your 71 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: mask up over your nose. For the people who have 72 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: been shouting at the TV screen for the last two years, Hey, 73 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: Biden and the rest of the idiots, stop spending trillions 74 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: of dollars. You're going to cause economic calamities. Stop it. 75 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: For the people who've been saying, hey, the wide open border, 76 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: five million illegals pouring into the country. Even let's just say, 77 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: let's take it as if one percent, if point five 78 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: percent of them have criminal records, and some of them 79 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: are really bad individuals. They found sex offenders, they found 80 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: ms thirteen gang members, but one percent of five millions 81 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: A lot of people. Right the people have been saying 82 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: hold on what is going on to the communities where 83 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: the illegals have been in unprecedented numbers. We see that, 84 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: by the way, right now, and I think we're going 85 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: to see more of it. Rhonda Santis may have more 86 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: flights going to Delaware and I forget what the other one. 87 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: I think Delaware in Chicago in the weeks in the 88 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks here and the people obviously on 89 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: the crime issue, who have been saying enough is enough. 90 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: This mid term could be a point of clarity and sanity. 91 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: And that's I think the best thing we could say 92 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: about it. Because you're not going to have a Republican president, 93 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: You're not going to have major legislation that can get 94 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: done at the national federal level. State level, though very 95 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: important things can happen, and we know state governments matter. 96 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: But clay on the crime issue. But I just I 97 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: was looking at this this morning, and you can just 98 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: look at some of these headlines. Man dressed as a 99 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: ninja attacks New York City straphanger with a samurai sword 100 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: before going on the run in Manhattan's Financial District. And 101 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: this is after two shovings in front of trains on 102 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: the subway that have happened last week in San Francisco. 103 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: They're arming themselves with baseball bats and stun guns for 104 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: their walk to work in broad daylight now past drug 105 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: sobriety centers because they're afraid addicts will attack them. People 106 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: have had enough, you know that we finally have reached 107 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: the point the Democrat meeting with January six and oh, 108 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: the freedom to abort babies and all the things they've 109 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: been talking about for the last six months. People have said, 110 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: this is just crazy. We need to stop this madness. 111 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: And I think it's happening. I think it's finally happening. Yeah, 112 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: and look it's flected in what is going on out there. 113 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: I like to I like to share the gambling data 114 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: in conjunction with the polls. As many of you know, 115 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: yesterday I came on and I said, hey, good news, 116 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: doctor has actually moved into the favorite position in the 117 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Senate race. For people out there who wager put 118 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: their real money down on races, you can watch it. 119 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: You can see it over the course of the last 120 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: six months. First time yesterday was the first time that 121 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: Doctor O has ever been favored over John Fetterman. Today 122 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: this morning, herschel Walker is now favored to beat Raphael 123 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: Warnock in Georgia. I'd been telling you that I think 124 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: that was going to happen, but now the money is 125 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: all coming in on herschel Walker and all of the attacks. Buck. 126 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: We talked about this right as October started. They fired 127 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: everything they had at herschel Walker, all of a personal nature, right, 128 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: nothing to do with what he actually is advocating for, 129 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: not arguing against him, just going after him for personal failings. 130 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: And Republicans, it seems to me, have actually rallied around 131 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: herschel Walker as a result, because for many people this 132 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: solidified how desperate Democrats have become that they have to 133 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: go after him personally. And he now has surged into 134 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: the lead in the gambling markets, and the polls are reflecting. 135 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: I think the most recent poll came out said it 136 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: was a dead heat. He's going to win. I believe 137 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: herschel Walker is going to win, and Oz is gonna win. 138 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: And you start in Nevada, We've still got out of 139 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: Laxall and the last one, Buck, I'm sticking to it 140 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: Blake Masters is going to win in Arizona, I believe. So. 141 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: I think Republicans are going to pick up three. That 142 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: would be that is the absolute home run scenario because 143 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: Republicans are playing a lot of defense in the Senate 144 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: in this election cycle. So just as a function of 145 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: what states are up end where it wasn't a great 146 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: cycle for the GOP. If you get a plus three 147 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: coming out of this is that is the grand slam, 148 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: right that is people think that's gonna on the basis 149 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: and I think that that's very possible right now. I've 150 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: had faith in Oz very very early on. You've had 151 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: wavering faith in Herschel. I must say, you've never even 152 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: when we talk offline, I will tell you all Claia 153 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: said Herschel's gonna get it done because I know they've 154 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: gone after Herschel with a lot. Clay has never wavered 155 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: in his faith in Herschel getting it done. But here 156 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: is doctor Oz saying if he can tell the truth more, 157 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: then Fetterman can tell lies. Basically, this is going to 158 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: work out in Pennsylvania that critical seat played twelve. The 159 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: reason this race, I think is where it is is 160 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: because the Democratic Party has been pouring money into Pennsylvania. 161 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: I just learn before I walked down this Dane here, 162 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: we're expecting another ten million dollars coming against us. And 163 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: it's a panic move because they know they're in trouble 164 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: and they're pulling in money from every which way. That's 165 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: why it is vital, vital that we have the support. 166 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: If I can tell the truth about John Fetterman more 167 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: than he lies about me, we've got this race. I mean, 168 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: when you think about the money clay that's poured into 169 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: the Pennsylvania Senate race, Georgia Senate race, Georgia governor's race. 170 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: We haven't talked much about Doug Mastriano. By that, we 171 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: know what we should have Dug masterrihano on. Isn't he 172 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: the Pennsylvania dominatory Republican governorship in Pittsylvania. We should get 173 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: him on. But yeah, you're right, the amount of dollars 174 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: that have rolled in is really pretty extraordinary. And Feederman 175 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: is desperate. Did you see this story? Buck? He had 176 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: his campaign donor doctor put out a letter saying he's 177 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: healthy enough to do the job. And I think if 178 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: you go back and look that interview that he did 179 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: with NBC where he was reading off of the computer screen, 180 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: and he clearly couldn't understand what he was being asked, 181 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: and his wife is demanding an apology from the reporter 182 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: who actually conducted that interview. I think that's when it 183 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: officially his campaign officially imploded. And I believe that October 184 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, am I read about that buck is the 185 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: date of the only Senate debate in Pennsylvania, because Federman's 186 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: only doing one, and I think that's gonna end this race. 187 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: And let me say why. I think it's gonna end 188 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: this race. First of all, Feederman's wrong on all the issues, 189 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: but also my understanding is he's going to be using 190 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: a screen to read the questions that are being asked 191 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: to him. So I think many people are going to 192 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: watch that and say, my goodness, this guy really can't 193 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: do the job because he's reading off a computer screen. 194 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: And I do think that many of the arguments, including 195 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: Fetterman's wife demanding an apology from journalists who are basically 196 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: the Fetterman PR team, But there's only so much a 197 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: PR team can do, right At some point, you haven't 198 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: given them enough to work with, and that's where Feederman 199 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: is as a candidate. Some of the arguments that have 200 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: been made to support Fetterman in this whole process. It 201 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: is truly insulting to the intelligence of the voters of 202 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and honestly just more broadly of American people to say, oh, 203 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: it's just like he has a broken leg, you know, 204 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: or it's like it's like he has a disability where 205 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: he you know, he can't walk properly. No, it is 206 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: not like that. Everyone understands that a massive stroke that 207 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: makes it impossible for you to understand or speak normally 208 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: is not the same as you know, hurting your nie 209 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: skiing and having a cast on. But these are the 210 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: kind of arguments that have been made. This is what 211 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: they've been saying. The desperation is palpable from the Libs. Yeah, 212 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: the analogy that I made Buck, you know, take it 213 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: outside of a Senate race. You have to be able 214 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: to be physically capable to do the job. If you 215 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: were picking a relay team and one of your relay 216 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: members had a broken leg, you wouldn't let him run 217 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: in the race. That's not because you're anti people with 218 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: broken legs. It's because the race requires that you have 219 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: functional legs in order to be able to win it well. 220 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: Senate election requires that you be able to debate discuss 221 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: the issues of the day. That's the job. If you 222 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: can't do that, you don't deserve to be on in 223 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: the Senate. And his opinions are so bad Buck, it's 224 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: not even just the health. It's the health that puts 225 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 1: it over the top. But he doesn't deserve to be 226 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: there based on what he said in the past. Do 227 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: you think we're heading into we're in We're in crunch 228 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: time here, folks. We got it. We got a couple 229 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: of weeks basically, what's the what's the count is in 230 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: eighteen day, nineteen days, nineteen days, thank you, nineteen days 231 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: to the election, and so we're in crunch time less 232 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: than three weeks. Do you think we start to see 233 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: from the media, because ultimately they just really do care 234 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: about themselves, right, I mean, obviously they're Democrat partisans, but 235 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: they also it's really want to them like journals are 236 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: the most narcissistic people there, as narcissistic as any Instagram 237 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: influencer or Megan Markle or you name it, right. Yeah, 238 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: do you think that they're going to start doing expectations management? Here? 239 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: In some places? You think New York Times is going 240 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: to start explaining how well, you know, it's not really 241 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: fair to think if this as a referendum on or 242 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: are you expecting a last minute on slot of some 243 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: kind of you know, do they have they have a 244 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: trick up the sleeve that we haven't seen. I think 245 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of hell Mary's. But I think 246 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: I sent you yesterday, didn't I the CNN story about 247 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 1: Mandela Barnes in his race against Ron Johnson and how 248 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: they were basically letting it be known that somebody was 249 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: to blame. And it couldn't be that Ron Johnson's a 250 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: good candidate and has run a good campaign. It has 251 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: to be that you think we're gonna going on Uh well, look, 252 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: I think there are a lot of guys and girls 253 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: who are Democrats stalwarts that are gonna get wrecked. Um, 254 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: you know, Beto is gonna get crushed, Uh, Stacy Abram's 255 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: gonna get absolutely destroyed. Mandela Barnes, you know, like all 256 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: these uh the Federman even I think all these people 257 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: that were supposed to be the patron saints of the 258 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: Democrat Party and they're gonna have to go back. And 259 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm actually I was actually thinking about that this morning. 260 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: What will their morning after the mid term reaction be 261 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: on MSNBC and CNN. I'm probably gonna watch a selection 262 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: was racist. I'm just I'm just curious what they're going 263 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: to say. We'll talk about that a little bit more. 264 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: Continue to break more of this down, but want you 265 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: to know with the upcoming midterms, you gotta keep something 266 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: in mind. You vote with your dollars every day who 267 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: you choose to support. Did you know that many of 268 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: the cell phone companies out there are making sure that 269 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: their political lives are completely different than your own, T Mobile, 270 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: AT and T Verizon.

Welcome back in Clay 287 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton show. I want to update you on 288 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: a story here. Buck yesterday caught caring about the Royal Family. 289 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: Megan Markole Buck said something so ridiculous when she was 290 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: talking about not being respected enough on Deal or No 291 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: Deal that Whoopie Goldberg went on the View and she 292 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: sounded like she was Clay Travis or Buck Sexton. She 293 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: agreed with everything that we said yesterday and I couldn't 294 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it's Megan Markle is so tone deaf 295 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: that she managed to align this show with also the View, 296 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: which is an incredible accomplishment. I wanted to mention too, 297 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: as much as I care about the Royal Family and 298 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: have admitted it, I don't follow British politics aggressively, but 299 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: they're going to have a new Prime Minister Buck. Liz 300 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: Trust is out after only forty four days. That is 301 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: the shortest prime minister tenure in the history of England, 302 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: which is obviously not a great sign for her. She 303 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 1: did last longer than Scaramucci as White House Comps Director, 304 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: though I think he got twelve days in forty four days. 305 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: And now there's some talk that Boris Johnson might come back. 306 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: Who knows what in the world's going to happen there. 307 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: So if you think man American politics are really incompetent 308 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: these days, it could be worse. England manages to be 309 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: even more incompetent. And I believe they even have a 310 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: higher rate of inflation, so they've percent They've been at 311 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: ten percent for a while, so their inflation is is bad. 312 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: It turns out locking down everything and just printing money, 313 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: and then wanting to print more money even after the 314 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: lockdown's end, because free money not a good idea. Clay 315 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: I was knew, but we all knew. Actually that's the 316 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: part of it.

Welcome back, Clay an Buck Here. 337 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: And you had yesterday at a lot of talk from 338 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: the White House over price of gas, the energy situation, 339 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: and how everyone knows this. It's one of these truisms 340 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: of politics. High gas prices not good for the party 341 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: in power. It's just not good. And high gas prices 342 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: when the party in power has been saying things like 343 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: we want to end fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are destroying 344 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: the planet. It's ikey, it's gross. Other countries should make it, 345 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: we shouldn't make it, etc. That makes it even worse 346 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: for them politically. And the administration had a tough day yesterday. 347 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: I mean, they were trying to turn this narrative around. 348 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: First of all, they're releasing money from the Strategic Petroleum 349 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: Reserve for the most obvious political purposes. But yet Clay, 350 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: here is Joe Biden. This is clip one. This was 351 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: just after we finished the show yesterday, saying, come on, man, 352 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: it's not it's not political. He says, play one. What 353 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: is your response to Republicans who say you are only 354 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: doing this spr release to help Democrats of the mid terms. 355 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: Where have they been the last four months? That's my response, MS, Look, 356 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: it makes sense, but I've been doing this for how 357 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: long now. It's not politically motivated at all. It's motivated 358 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: to make sure that I continue to push on what 359 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: I've been pushing on, and that is making sure there's 360 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: enough oil that's being pumped by the companies so that 361 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: we have the ability to be able to produce enough 362 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: gas that we need here at home, oil we need 363 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: here at home, and at the same time keep moving 364 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: in the direction of providing for alternative energy. That's what 365 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: I've been doing. Now. The problem is these guys who 366 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: are asleep. I don't know where they've been, and they 367 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: seem you know, price at the pump should reflect what 368 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: the price of a barrel of oil costs, and it's 369 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: not going down consistent. The price at the pump does 370 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: reflect what the price of a barrel of oil is 371 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: right now. I can't tell if Joe Biden Clay is 372 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: so stupid he doesn't know that, or he's so dishonest 373 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: he doesn't care how dumb he sounds when he says it. 374 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: But they can't have it both ways. It can't be 375 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: that Biden is the most green energy pushing, big spending 376 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,959 Speaker 1: for the green New Deal president in history, which I 377 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: think he is at this point, certainly two years into 378 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: a presidency. But also he wants more oil to be 379 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: pumped by the companies and releasing oil from a strategic 380 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: Reserve doesn't change the supply at all except for a 381 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: short period of time. Right, this is just this is 382 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: a quick fix to the problem that doesn't fix the problem. 383 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: And yet the White House knows it's just not enough, man, 384 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: It's just not going to work. Well. Also, saying we've 385 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: been doing this for four months doesn't make it not political. 386 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: In fact, that makes it even more political because you 387 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: started in the sub as people were thinking and paying 388 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 1: attention to what was going on with inflation, and you 389 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: were desperate to try to bring it down. And what 390 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: I would say that I think is so key here 391 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: is remember they were outraged. Democrats were. In fact, they 392 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: voted it down if I remember correctly, when Trump talked 393 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: about filling up the Strategic Oil Reserve even more with 394 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: around twenty four or twenty five dollars a barrel of oil, 395 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: and they said, oh no, no, they we're not going 396 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: to do this. And now they're talking, at least based 397 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: on what I've seen, about wanting to buy seventy or 398 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: eighty dollars barrel of oil if they can get the 399 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: price down to that level, which is just further evidence 400 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: of Democrats not understanding basic business. I mean, I remember 401 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: Buck Trump talking about two things that I think we 402 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: probably should have done that would have been genius economically. 403 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: One remember, in March twenty twenty, the price of a 404 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: barrel of oil went down to negative territory. Do you 405 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: remember that they were already on the ships and they 406 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: had nowhere to put it, and they didn't have any 407 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: way to store it. And that's when Trump started looking 408 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: around and saying, well, I know this is a difficult time, 409 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 1: but why wouldn't we buy as much oil as we 410 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: possibly can at the greatest price that we're ever going 411 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: to see in our lives. It was on sale, it 412 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: would have been a brilliant time. And this would be 413 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: like hey, you know half off at the West Elm 414 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: outlet or something, right, I mean, this would get people. 415 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: Or bed Bath and Beyond. This Bedbath Beyond still exist? 416 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: What was the one that went out of business recently? 417 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: One of them? Didn't one of them? Bath and Beyond 418 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: still exists, no, I know it? One the one into bankruptcy, 419 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: didn't it? Or maybe bed Bath and Beyond went in 420 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: a bankrupts even It's still around point being that this 421 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: was a massive sale opportunity to buy up a lot 422 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: for the strategic Reserve and they didn't do it at 423 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: the time, and it's it's yet another instance of a 424 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: bad judgment for this administration. Did you hear Doocey, by 425 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: the way, going back and forth with Creed. Yeah, Actually, 426 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: this this clip out which was fandastic, I mean play 427 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: clip four, because this is the fundamental point the Democrats are. 428 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: They have a hostility that is religious in nature toward 429 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: fossil fuels. It's irrational. They've created this whole belief system 430 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: around oh, climate change. And yet then they turn around 431 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: and say, come on, oil companies, just like take less 432 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: profit and pump more oil, as if this is a dictatorship. 433 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: And that's how it works. Here's how Doocey and Kreein 434 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre go back and forth on this play four. 435 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: You're asking oil companies to further lower gas prices. What 436 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: makes you think that they are going to listen to 437 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: an administration that is ultimately trying to put them out 438 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: of business? How is the administration trying to put them 439 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: out of business? Well, they produce fossil fuels, and this 440 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: president says he wants to end the fossil fuel That's 441 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: a great take. Peter Doocy just does incredible work. And 442 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: the other thing I would say, so Trump was right 443 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 1: about wanting to buy as much oil as he could 444 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: when it was on sale effect actively. There's a great 445 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: line and I'm paraphrasing it from Warren Buffett, one of 446 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: the greatest investors in the history of certainly America in 447 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: the world. Warren Buffett's big advice is be greedy when 448 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy, which 449 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: is a good way of basically saying, don't go with 450 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: the prevailing sentiment because you end up getting yourself in 451 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble. The other thing Trump wanted to do, 452 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: and I thought this was brilliant at the time, he 453 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: didn't get enough discussion. He wanted to lock in our 454 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: national debt interest rates when they were super low, and 455 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: there was an argument that we could have done so, 456 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: and very few people are talking about this right now. Buck, 457 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: But if you look at the expenditures, the debt and 458 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: the interest that we are going to owe on our 459 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: national debt of thirty trillion dollars, as we are increasing 460 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: interest rates, it becomes more and more debilitating to the 461 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: overall budget. As it eats up more and more of 462 00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: our yearly outflow of cash, and the idea of locking 463 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: in one two percent interest seemed kind of brilliant to me. 464 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 1: And Trump floated both of those ideas and Democrats shot 465 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: him poked down. The bill has come due for a 466 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: lot of bad decision making by the people in charge. 467 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: This is what we face now as a society, and 468 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: we haven't even seen the full extent of the bill. 469 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: You know that maybe this is for the food, but 470 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: the bar tab hasn't been at it on yet, because 471 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: if we go into a recession, that will affect growth, 472 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: Growth will affect our ability or you know, the expansion 473 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: of the economy that will allow us to pay for 474 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: all the things that the government is currently put on autopilot, 475 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: as well as the additional spending they may throw into 476 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: the mix. So yeah, it's it's gonna get rough out 477 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: there for sure. And for the people who have made 478 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: so many of these decisions to be continuing to push 479 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: this play, it's just madness. I don't know how else 480 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: to describe it. And we don't talk in the country 481 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: very much about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but understand this 482 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: what Biden has done over the past several months, to 483 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: be releasing our strategic reserve of oil in an effort 484 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: to bring down prices is unprecedented in American modern history. 485 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 1: Obama actually rejected this idea because the purpose of the 486 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: strategic petroleum reserve is to have it there in the 487 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: event of a true emergency. High gas prices is not ideal, 488 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: but it's not a national emergency in the way that 489 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: this strategic petroleum reserve was designed to be. So. Not 490 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: only is Biden clearly playing politics with this strategic reserve, 491 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: he's also doing it in a way that no politician, 492 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 1: no president of either party, has ever done before, in 493 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: a desperate ploy to try to limit his ass kicking, 494 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: which I frankly think he's going to take in a 495 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: big way in these upcoming midterms. Most colleges these days 496 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:01,239 Speaker 1: are not populated with professors who espouse reverence for the 497 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: founding for our Constitution. Hillsdale College, however, does, in fact, 498 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: they require every undergrad to take at least one full 499 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: term course on our Constitution, and there's plenty to choose from. 500 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 1: Those same professors go beyond the campus, teaching you and 501 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: me online video courses that are free to watch they're 502 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: introducing a new course right now focusing on the thoughts 503 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: of our founding fathers that are still very relevant to 504 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: this nation today, some two hundred and fifty years later. Rights, immigration, 505 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: foreign policy. Those were topics that were heavily debated and 506 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: during the founding and they are still today. Sign up 507 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: to educate yourself with this new course.

Again, this is free and it's on demand. 511 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: The real American Founding a conversation is the name of 512 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: this Hillsdale course.

Welcome back in Clay, Churravis, Buck 516 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Buck. 517 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: One of the things that is staggering to me, maybe 518 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: it shouldn't be a staggering to me, is as we 519 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: get closer and closer to the mid term, it's amazing 520 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: how rapidly all of the talking points are shifting, and 521 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: we've talked about this a lot on the show. Oh, 522 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: we didn't mean defund the police. We in fact, we 523 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: never even said that, oh, you know crime. We never 524 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: said that it was important to get more criminals back 525 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: on the streets. We never have believed in soft on 526 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: crime policies. We're talking about energy right now, and I 527 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: saw this quote and I thought we got to play 528 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: this audio. MSNBC's Chris Hayes is now saying, what do 529 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: you think keeping gas prices low is the key to 530 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: preserving and strengthening the future of our democracy. Have you 531 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: ever heard this argument before? Here is Chris Hayes. I've 532 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: heard it certainly from people who are on the right, like, yeah, 533 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: we want low gas prices, we should produce as much 534 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: as possible. But this is how rapidly the pivot is 535 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: occurring on the left. Listen to what MSNBC's Chris Hayes 536 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: was saying. Oil companies OPEC Saudi is not excepting eager 537 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: to make sure prices are low before an election where 538 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: Democrat candidates are vulnerable. It's also why Saudi Arabia might 539 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: want to suddenly announce a cut in oil production right 540 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: before the mid terms. Of course, Democrats can't just throw 541 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: their hands up and say, oh, well, because the future 542 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: of American democracy is in, as we report night in, 543 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: night out on this program, real peril, existential peril. And 544 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: so we find ourselves in a situation where keeping gas 545 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: prices low is key to preserving and strengthening the future 546 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: of our democracy. And so here we are and Spiden 547 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: releasing oil from the reserves. Day. I need to translate 548 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: this from lib nonsense here he's saying anything to win 549 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: is okay in this moment because the existential threat to 550 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: our democracy, ye have to say it like that. By 551 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: the way, is the Republican Party doing well in this midterm? 552 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 1: That's it. When they talk about threats to our democracy. 553 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: I want everyone to understand, whenever you hear that from 554 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: a Democrat, they mean Republicans being in power. That is 555 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: the threat to our democracy. They can say, oh, January sixth, No, No, 556 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: they've they've created this world. They've created this illusion for themselves, 557 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: this delusion where it's all tied in together Trump January 558 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: six Mitch McConnell, the GOP Kerrie late descentis it's all 559 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 1: one big threat to democracy. And of course the reality 560 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: is what they have done is actually a bigger threat 561 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: to democracy, right, I mean rigging the twenty twenty election, 562 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: keeping the Hunter Biden story from coming out, the unhold 563 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: the alliance between big tech and the Democrat Party. But Buck, 564 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: here's my thought. I was I was thinking about this 565 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 1: morning as I was getting ready for the show. We're 566 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: nineteen days out. I feel very good about a Republican 567 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: Senate and a Republican House based on all the data points, gambling, odds, polls, 568 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: everything else. What is the Democrat playbook if they get 569 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: a show lacking in the mid term? Is it? I'm 570 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: curious what you think? Is it? Hey, we have to 571 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: double down harder on January sixth and the threats to 572 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: our democracy and all of those angles which have certainly 573 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: been basically they're only talking points for two years. Or 574 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: did they go back and remake their arguments and acknowledge 575 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: that the American public has fundamentally rejected them. So this 576 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:49,200 Speaker 1: is actually a I am concerned that in some ways 577 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: winning this battle could cause problems for the twenty twenty 578 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: four battle. I'm winning it big tig war. If you 579 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 1: classify the war is twenty twenty four. This spectacular battle. 580 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: I was trying to avoid saying the W word because 581 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: I know all the Libs, oh my gosh's calling for war. 582 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: But you know, we're just using we're using colorful language 583 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: here to describe politics. Okay, so I worry that what 584 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: happens I shouldn't say worry. But what I think could 585 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: happen is that you have a Clinton like effect, Bill 586 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: Clinton like effect. Where after the nineteen ninety four midterms, 587 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: newt Gangwage speaker comes in and all of a sudden 588 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: things start getting done. People start saying, you know what, fine, 589 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: Biden will sign some spending package that does infrastructure, and 590 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: you know, Biden will sign something that has to do with, 591 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 1: you know, protecting Medicare, social security. Republicans get on board. 592 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, these things start to happen because 593 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: they have because otherwise the Democrats have no choice. It 594 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: is just January sixth, January sixth, and you have a 595 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: very different Biden. I know, I don't want to get 596 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: ahead of ourselves, because we got we got what's right 597 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: in front of us. But I do think you may 598 00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: have a more challenging environment economically politically to throw at 599 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: Biden in his reelection than we do when Biden's party 600 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: has both the House and the Senate. That's what I 601 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: think Biden is going to run, because I think he's 602 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: going to get forced out after the shellacking and the 603 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden charges and all these other things that I 604 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: believe are likely to happen. I feel like they won't 605 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: do that, Clary, just because that is handing twenty twenty 606 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: four to the Republicans. There's absolutely I think that the 607 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: polling data is so bad for Joe Biden right now 608 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,479 Speaker 1: that they will say, we have to find somebody new. 609 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: But this is going to be a really interesting discussion. 610 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: What I still don't know, though, Buck, is will they 611 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 1: accept that the American public has overwhelmingly rejected their pitch 612 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: or will they just convince themselves that they did a 613 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: poor job of selling something that they still think is 614 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: is really good. In other words, when Nancy Pelosi comes 615 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: out and says, Joe Biden has had one of the 616 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: greatest two years of any president in generations, is there 617 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: an element of the Democrat Party because he did deliver 618 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: on many left wing perspectives that is unable or unwilling 619 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 1: to confront the truth and your your Bill Clinton analogy 620 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: is a good one, and I would argue also Obama 621 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: in ten. Both of those guys were far more skilled politicians, 622 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: both Obama and Clinton. Whatever you might think about their politics, 623 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: they were way more deft and adroit as politicians than 624 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 1: Biden is. Can't you see Biden coming out all squint 625 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 1: eyed and being like, come on, man, I feel your pain. 626 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: To feel it. Feeling your pain, It's like, doesn't have 627 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: the same effect as good old, good old slick Bill. Also, 628 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: when you have been given all these speeches everywhere talking 629 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,439 Speaker 1: about how America is democracies in peril and everything else, 630 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 1: and then your house, you lose the House, and you 631 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: lose the Senate, and you immediately pivot to, well, let's 632 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: work together, guys, It's like the democracy and peril thing 633 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: doesn't work if you immediately say, okay, let's star they 634 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: have no princes and no shame. You know, I know 635 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: Tucker is making this case a couple days ago. We've 636 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: been talking about this for a while. You know. The 637 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 1: vaccine failure is really Trump's fault. It's Trump's fault. Oh, 638 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: the vaccine that a year ago was a miracle that 639 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: you were a monster if you had any questions about it, 640 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: turns out it's Trump's fault, the whole vaccine failure situation. Wow, 641 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: I's still in office. The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, 642 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: and MSNBC would be covering the COVID shot like it 643 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: was Watergate. They would be trying to uncover everything. Because 644 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: Biden's in office and Anthony Fauci's a saint. They're still 645 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: trying to argue something that's fundamentally untrue, which is, you 646 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: should get the COVID shot if you're young and healthy, 647 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: and we need to talk about this. Buck, I think 648 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: Jimasines are setting the table here. We come back to 649 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,360 Speaker 1: make all of your kids have to get this worthless 650 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,359 Speaker 1: COVID all of your kid will talk about it. That's 651 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: the plan.
