I don't know how 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: you can even be in the same category as that, right, 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: I mean, this is one of the badass resumes of 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: all time. Not only him, he's a third generation fighter pilot. 21 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: I just know that I shouldn't show up with aviators 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: on shake his hand and say, don't worry, sir, We're 23 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: not taking a highway to the danger zone. You know, 24 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: so I don't think you. I mean, CIA job is 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: a pretty badass job. You've got a good job now 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: with radio. But I saw this resume and now it's 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: like man buck Buck is really going to have trouble 28 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: living up to the badass accomplishment here. Thanks for turning 29 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: out the intimidation factor. Clay appreciate it plays Clay's always 30 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: rooting for me team basically Maverick's daughter. So this is 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: not an easy thing to do. Fair points. So we thought, 32 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: given the success of the Maverick movie and how amazing 33 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: it is to have an actual top gun instructor of 34 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: many years now retired. But naval aviator talk about the 35 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: program and he saw the movie, so we can ask 36 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: him some questions about what's real what's not. So that's 37 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: all come later. Third, I will have some fun with that. Obviously. 38 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: The two big news items, one i'm is supposed to 39 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: be big news and the other is actually big news. 40 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: What I mean by this is the Democrats want us 41 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: to spend the whole day today on defense. This was 42 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: the plan they had the January six prime time whatever 43 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: hearing last night. They're supposed to be six nights of this, 44 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: I think, or six sessions of this something like that. 45 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: They're gonna do multiple days of Scott Clay. We talked 46 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: Yester about how much of it, and we're not diving 47 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: into that, folks. There's something more important going on, but 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: I just want to know how much of it did 49 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: you watch? How much could your stomach twenty minutes I 50 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: basically said, hey, I'm gonna watch this as if I 51 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: am a totally normal person, not us, by which I 52 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: mean you're usually paying attention to a great degree to 53 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: every single detail going on. And I said, if the 54 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: first twenty minutes, which is more than most people who 55 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: are casually interested in politics are going to watch, if 56 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: the first twenty minutes gives me any new information, provides 57 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: any sort of gripping content where I would say, Okay, 58 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: this feels compelling to me, I'll stay on. And twenty 59 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: minutes in we made the switch from I think Benny 60 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: Thomas or whatever that guy's name is Thompson to Liz Cheney, 61 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: and I thought both of them were pretty boring, and 62 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: they were reciting essentially facts that had already been written about, 63 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: some of them months ago in the newspapers. And obviously 64 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: you and I stay at tuned to every little detail there, 65 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: so I wasn't learning anything new. I turned it off 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: and I went and started reading the book that you 67 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: suggested to me, the Endurance Book about the Shackleton Antarctica Expedition, which, 68 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: by the way, read the first hundred pages or so 69 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: of that riveting. And I turned off the television. So 70 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: that was my That was my evening of activity in 71 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: the Travis household. Yes, well done, sir. I'm still making 72 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: my way through Undaunted Courage, which is also fantastic. But see, 73 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: here's the thing, Clay and I watched, believe it or not, 74 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: I got up and watched the whole thing on playback, 75 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: two hours of this where you came in. You watched 76 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: the whole thing just yep, just being lectured by Liz Cheney, 77 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: and there was nothing new. The biggest omission from you 78 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: know what. Actually, let's get to this later, because here's 79 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: what actually happened while they're putting on this extravaganza last night. 80 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: And some of this we do have to push back on, right, 81 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: we can't just allow them to set their narrative without 82 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: fighting back. But while that's going on, the inflation numbers 83 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: came in, and the Nostradamis of Nashville over here was 84 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: correct in that last night it's all, oh, let's talk 85 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: about the insurrection. But to the rest of America, who 86 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: don't just leave MSNBC on in the background while they're 87 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: drinking their soy milk. To the rest of America, the 88 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: much bigger issue, by the way, that soy milk is 89 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: getting a lot more expensive is inflation, which I thought, 90 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: just because I was the you know, how much worse 91 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: can it get for Biden? Right, at some point you 92 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: feel like they must have hit something in approximating political bottom. Nope, 93 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: gave them too much credit. The inflation numbers announced today 94 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: and we are at a forty one year high of 95 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: eight point six percent. Groceries up twelve percent, gasoline up 96 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: forty nine percent. Airline travel, by the way, also up 97 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: over forty percent. So many things that really hurt. The 98 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: one that people, I think more than anything Clay are 99 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: going to recognize a twelve percent jump in the overall 100 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: price of groceries eight point six percent overall inflation and 101 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: gas at an all basically five dollars a gallon national 102 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: average right now, give or take, this is just economically 103 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: politically untenable for this regime. Yeah, and look, I mean 104 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: putting it into context. You just turned forty, right this 105 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: past a year. In your entire life, inflation and has 106 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: never been this high before. I mean, just to kind 107 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: of put into context for everybody out there listening right now, 108 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: December of nineteen eighty one, I was a year old 109 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: or so year and a half old. Maybe I was two. 110 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: I guess I was two. I obviously don't remember it. Now. 111 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people out there like, oh my goodness, 112 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: we're listening to two. You know, if you're in your seventies, 113 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: you're listening to us, and you think we're whipper snappers, right, 114 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: But there's also people in their twenties and thirties listening. 115 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: For a large majority of Americans, right, the average American 116 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,119 Speaker 1: today has not been alive for inflation at this level, 117 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: which is pretty wild to think about. Buck and what 118 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: I said yesterday, and I put out tweets about it. 119 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: You can follow at Buck Sexton, you can follow at 120 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: Clay Travis we're fighting the battles on social media fronts 121 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: that we fight on radio as well. I said, this 122 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: feels so tone deaf to me. Whoever scheduled this prime 123 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: time hearing. I said, what's going to happen is everybody's 124 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: going to react. Everybody's gonna be talking about it. Early morning, 125 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: articles are going to be reacting to January sixth, and 126 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: then early on this morning, we're gonna get an inflation 127 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: update and it's gonna be at a forty year high, 128 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: and it's going to completely take over all discussion and 129 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: drown out any discussion about January six Now we'll still 130 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: talk about January sixth, But I pulled this buck because 131 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: I want to mention it. I think it's significant everybody 132 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: out there listening to us right now. You just mentioned 133 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: groceries up almost twelve percent. Here are some other ones 134 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: for day to day living out there. Chicken Chicken up 135 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: almost eighteen percent. Chicken restaurants largest ever increase up nine percent. 136 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: Fuel we all know this, up one hundred and seven percent, 137 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: the largest ever. Electricity. A lot of people are gonna 138 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: be using a lot of electricity because it's getting hot, 139 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: up twelve percent, the largest in nearly twenty years, rent up, airfare, up, services, 140 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: all up massively. So it isn't just that, hey, well 141 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: this price is up, you can kind of avoid it. 142 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: Whatever you are buying right now, you are paying potentially 143 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: forty year highs and potentially all time highs. Were like 144 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: you just mentioned, buck at five dollars basically a gallon 145 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 1: of gas, which has never occurred before inflation adjusted, were 146 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: it nearly an all time high associated with what gas costs? 147 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: And how many people do you think are waking up 148 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: this morning saying, boy, I'm really glad the Democrats decided 149 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: to have a special prime time hearing about eighteen months ago, 150 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: the riot at the Capitol, or do you think they're 151 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: looking five months into the future and saying, what are 152 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: you going to do to help my family with this 153 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: massive default tax increase? And let me just say this, Buck, 154 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: there are a lot of Republicans, lots of Republican staff, 155 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: also a lot of Democrats who listened to us on 156 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: this show. We gotta draw a lot in the sand 157 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 1: and say all spending is done. We cannot allow the 158 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: Biden administration to pass any new tax increase, any new 159 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: revenue expenditure. We got to hold the ground now, and 160 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: we got to hold the ground for the next two 161 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: years of the Biden administration. Every Republican, I really mean this, 162 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: as we roll into the midterms, should be holding up 163 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: their right hand and swearing to the American public that 164 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: they will not increase expenditures which is going to make 165 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: inflation worse, and that their number one priority is going 166 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: to be ensuring that Joe Biden doesn't continue to destroy 167 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: everybody's ability to make purchases and live with these continued increases. Overall, 168 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: they did the thing they always do in advance of 169 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: this inflation announcement too, which is the worse than expected. Yeah, 170 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: and the experts wrong every time. We keep seeing that 171 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: somehow what is expected is always wrong. But what was 172 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: predicted right, what is expected by quote the economists around 173 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: Biden is wrong. What was predicted by Donald Trump himself, 174 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: by the way, people like you and me saying, hey, 175 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: we're spending too much money. They can't do this, stay 176 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: at home, print trillions, print trillions more thing, It's going 177 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: to have real consequences. You can't reduce productivity and increase 178 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: the amount of money in circulation without there being these 179 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: negative effects. All of this was predicted. It's all coming true, 180 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: and the only people that seem surprised by this are 181 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: the Democrats calling the shots, like Joe Biden, or maybe 182 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,599 Speaker 1: the advisors around him, and the so called economists that 183 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: are making these predictions too. Even Janet Yellen had to 184 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: admit that transitory was a bad, bad word for her 185 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: to use and was obviously not correct. So there's no 186 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: way they turned this around. No one thinks that they're 187 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: going to turn this around. But actually this is where 188 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: I hate to be that guy, but I'm going to 189 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: be that guy. It's gonna get worse because now everyone 190 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: realizes where we are, what's happening. The reality of what 191 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: we're facing, I think has become too obvious. So a 192 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: recession is going to be a word that you start 193 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,599 Speaker 1: to hear. And for example, I mean, here's here's a 194 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: Larry Cutlow over at Fox Business saying the Fed should 195 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: rate interest rates a full point now, and that means 196 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: recession is going to come along with it too. Play 197 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: clip three point six percent inflation. I don't see how 198 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: the Fed can avoid significant rate increases in the immediate future. 199 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: What do you say, Well, I think you're absolutely right. 200 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you're at dead right, So still baked in 201 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: the cake here is fifty fifty fifty in September, and 202 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: probably they're going to have to do more in November December. 203 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: But you know what, dayant to try to knock down 204 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: inflation expectations and raise it by one full percentage point 205 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: and probably do that a second time in July the 206 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: discus we had a huge recession. Well, you know, it's 207 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: going to be very hard to get out of this. 208 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: I frankly don't think you can avoid recession. We've been 209 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: saying recession. I'm not an economist, play neither are you. 210 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: We know a lot of stuff about a lot of things, 211 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: but we've been saying recession since January basically. And Cudlow 212 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: is a very smart guy. As we all understand this 213 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: world very well. This is what we're heading toward. I mean, 214 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: and the funny thing will be not funny haha, but 215 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 1: you know it'll be odd to watch and listen to 216 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: the Biden administration try to explain recessions just a natural 217 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: part of life, folks. This is just you know, this 218 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: is the responsible thing for us to be handling right now. 219 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 1: The Biden recession is actually evidence of how smart the 220 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: people in charge really are well. So for people out 221 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: there who are like, hey, what is the technical definition 222 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: of a of a recession, it's two straight quarters of 223 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: declining GDP growth. We already have posted minus one point 224 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: five percent growth in the first quarter, and it feels 225 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: to me, buck like we are already squarely into the 226 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: second quarter right now, and those numbers are likely to 227 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: be down again, that is April, May and June. When 228 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: these numbers exactly will come out, we don't know, but 229 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: Bucket feels to me like we're already in a recession 230 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: right And the challenge that we're going to have is, 231 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: let's use housing prices, for example, as a rough approximation 232 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: here right now, when you decide that you're going to 233 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: drastically increase the overall investment rates, you know, the interest rates, 234 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: you're taking a lot of air out of a lot. 235 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: And if you see right now what's going on in 236 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: the housing market, we basically just pop the bubble. Nobody's 237 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: going out and getting mortgages. The amount of transitions that 238 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: are going on in terms of the housing market, I 239 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: think are going to drastically decline in terms of number 240 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: of people who are buying a lot of people we'll 241 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: talk about this in a sec are maybe not going 242 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: to move because they've got a two or three percent 243 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: interest rate fifteen or thirty year and they say, man, 244 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to move because now I'm gonna have 245 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: to pay five and a half or six percent on 246 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: that interests. It's a big issue and everything has fallen apart. 247 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: Let's be honest, this really matters to people. Yes, what 248 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: Mark Meadows texted Trump eighteen months ago about hey, sir, 249 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: but that just doesn't match her to people, despite Democrats 250 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: trying so desperately to make it. So we'll continue to 251 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: talk about that, and like I said, we got fantastic 252 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: guests today on the show as well, so we've got 253 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: a lot coming your way. The Tunnel. The Towers Foundation 254 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: broke ground earlier this spring on its Do Good Village 255 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: in Lando Lakes, Florida.

This is for families who have lost 259 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: a loved one in our war on terrorism or in 260 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: the line of duty as a first responder.

From the front Lines of Truth. 275 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Welcome back in Clay Travis 276 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show Inflation forty year high January sixth. I 277 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: mean it really the scheduling. It feels like the Democrats 278 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: are trying to tank for the number one draft pick. 279 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: For those of you who are sports fans, because I 280 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: don't know how they couldn't look at the calendar and say, hey, 281 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: we want to take over the calendar, and then the 282 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: next morning the story is almost all gone. But I 283 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: do think Buck, in terms of what's going on, you 284 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: watched the whole thing. I watched the first twenty minutes 285 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: enough to be able to tell what is the focus. 286 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: It's all Trump, right. The goal is to make it 287 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: so Donald Trump is toxic. It is to me it 288 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: felt like a reboot that wasn't particularly successful, like a 289 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: sequel that is nowhere near as good as the first one. 290 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: Democrats really don't have any ideas. They're just anti Trump 291 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: by and large in the grand scheme of things that 292 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: was Biden's entire campaign effectively was I'm not Trump, And 293 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: it seems like they're desperately trying to keep Trump from 294 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: running in twenty twenty four. First of all, I don't 295 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: think it's going to be successful, because I think the 296 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: Trump people you and I both voted for Trump are 297 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: more likely to like Trump when he's getting attacked like this. 298 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: But if they were successful, I could see this wildly 299 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: benefiting Republicans like a Rond de Santis, who might decide 300 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: to run. In other words, if they go after Trump, 301 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: the other Republican who ended up winning the nomination would 302 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: be even more likely to win in twenty four, right, 303 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: if you like. As I try to play this out 304 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: chess wise, I try to think that there's no way 305 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 1: that they're going to make our life as in opposition 306 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: to the Biden regime this easy. But then I recognize 307 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: that really the the baseline, fundamental reality of Joe Biden's 308 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 1: election was that they ran a not Trump election. That's it, 309 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: and that's really all they know how to do. The 310 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: other stuff about unity and you see this somehow Biden 311 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: mutters the same speech, doesn't matter where he is or 312 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: what it is always you know, you know, folks middle 313 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: out and after table and they got the sleeves rolled up, 314 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: and you know, I'm just one of you and Scranton 315 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: Joe on the chow chow and it's just blather, man like, 316 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: no one wants to hear this crap anymore so percent true. 317 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: We'll continue to break it all down for you, by 318 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: the way.

Clay, Travis and Buck Sexton on the 335 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: front Lines of Truth, Welcome back into the Clay Travis 336 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: and Buck Sexton Show eight two eight two to eight, 337 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: eighth to two on those phone lines, and look, the 338 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: inflation story is a very damaging one for the Democrats 339 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: political prospects going forward, going into this midterm election. I 340 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: keep wondering and waiting for there to be some narrative 341 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: counter strike that they can come up with anywhere. On immigration, 342 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: the border, on crime, on the economy, you name it, 343 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: on inflation specifically of just having a go in the 344 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: other direction, and it's just not happening. And in fact, 345 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: you're starting to see sometimes all these things coming together, 346 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: inflation causing problems for law enforcement. Law enforcement having problems 347 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: because of defund and because of Democrat prosecutors. Here is 348 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: an ABC reporter talking about how gas prices are so 349 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: high that in one Michigan county, the police department says 350 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: they can't even respond to every nine one one call 351 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: anymore in person. They just don't have the funds for 352 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: its gas prices are so high. The Isabella County Sheriff's 353 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: office here says they've actually blown through their fuel budget already, 354 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: so they will respond to some none emergency calls by 355 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 1: phone and try to resolve those issues by phone. No, 356 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: the sheriff here says it will likely be several months 357 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: before a new fuel budgets has passed. Clay, this is 358 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: the reality that we're seeing here. People that are listening 359 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: to us all over the country in cities and counties, towns, 360 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: they are recognizing now, first of all, everything is more 361 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: expensive for everyone everywhere. If you live in a place 362 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: where there's any crime issue. Some people live in places where, 363 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, the worst criminal issue is like a rogue 364 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,959 Speaker 1: squirrel getting into their attic or something. But a lot 365 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: of folks are living in more, more dense areas of population, 366 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: and so they have crime issues. You're poorer, you're less safe. 367 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: You have a wide open border, you have more expensive groceries, 368 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: you have more expensive gas, and likelihood of a recession here, 369 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: which is I think could really affect the employment picture too. 370 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: There is nothing you can point to right now. It 371 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: just feels like you have a regime, a Democrat regime, 372 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: that is in full on retreat. And it's almost hard 373 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: to believe. It's so widespread. It's let's be honest, it's 374 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: an unmitigated disaster. And I just keep thinking to myself, Buck, 375 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: and you know this. We all knew that Joe Biden 376 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: was not going to be a successful president, but I 377 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 1: think the degree to which he has failed on all fronts. 378 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: He came in saying, hey, I want to unite America. 379 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: If you look at the poll numbers, Joe Biden has 380 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: united America in the belief that he is not up 381 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: to the job. I mean, we're talking about the most 382 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: recent Quinnipiac poll. He had a thirty three percent approval rating. 383 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: That means, basically, almost seventy percent of Americans are saying, 384 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: you know what, Joe Biden's not up to this job. 385 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: And as bad as it's already been for Biden, buck, 386 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: let's think about what the next two years are going 387 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: to be once Republicans take back the House and once 388 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,239 Speaker 1: they take back the Senate. I don't know when or 389 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: if Biden is going to try to announce that he's 390 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: going to run for reelection at eighty two years old, 391 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: but if he does, it's going to be a landslide 392 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: election in the other direction. And I'm not even sure 393 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: that his party is going to allow him to run right, 394 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: and meaning there might be the best people who say 395 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: I'm running against him. The best thing that could happen 396 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden, if we're just looking at the economy, 397 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: is Republicans completely annihilate the Democrats in the midterm elections 398 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: and then it's all right, are you gonna be having 399 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: an adult conversation about the economy now or you're gonna 400 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: actually do things. We're not gonna hear any more about 401 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: the Green New Deal. We're not gonna hear any more 402 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: about how you're gonna, you know, add an entitlement and 403 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: you know, spend another trillion dollars on childcare for everybody, 404 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 1: whatever it is. Let's actually look at getting this economy 405 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: up and running and promoting growth, innovation and letting the 406 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: dynamic American economy do what it does. Let the business 407 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: of the American people be business. That would be the 408 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: best possible thing. And we've already run in essence a 409 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: preview of this right whereby we said it here on 410 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: the show back when the main fights were going on 411 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 1: with Joe Manchon, he was getting all that pressure because 412 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: he wouldn't go along with build back Better, and Joe 413 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: Biden's going here, build back Better's gonna make you know, 414 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: all the stuff and the things, and it's gonna be 415 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: built better, and just muttering nonsense all the time. And 416 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: they're putting so much pressure on Joe Manchin and we 417 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: say he's probably saving the Democrats from themselves, and he did. 418 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: I mean, inflation is already over eight percent today, right, 419 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: so we're going into this inflationary period that looks like 420 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: it's not going to stop anytime soon. Where would it 421 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: be you've brought this up if they had another five 422 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: trillion on the books that wouldn't be spent all at once, 423 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: even the expectations, What does a Democrat Party look like 424 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: with ten eleven percent inflation ten or eleven percent CPI? 425 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: So for you know, paradoxically, the best thing I think 426 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: that could happen in Biden for the economy is if 427 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: he's forced to work with Republicans at some level, or 428 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: at least he can't get anything through that would do 429 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,119 Speaker 1: more damage to the economy. But that obviously then raises 430 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: what you've brought up, which is, yeah, but then why 431 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: do you want this guy to be president for a 432 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: second term? And I think that's where things get really 433 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: challenging for this White House. Yeah, and let me just 434 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: tell all the Republicans out there listening right now, when 435 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: your enemy is self destructing, just let himself destruct, don't 436 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: follow him into s destruction mode. So Joe Biden, let's 437 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: use an analogy, has basically lit himself and the entire 438 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: Democratic Party on fire. They are burning right now. Republicans 439 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: don't need to run into the fire and start trying 440 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 1: to make something happen inside of the fire. They just 441 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: need to stay back, avoid that self immolation that the 442 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: Democrat Party has created right now. And I would say this, 443 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: whether you're Kevin McCarthy, whether you're Mitch McConnell, whether you 444 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 1: are Donald Trump, whoever it is, don't allow yourself to 445 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: become the story. Let Democrats burn themselves down, burn their 446 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: house down, burn their village down, and just stand back 447 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: and say, as you watch that fire going on, talk 448 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: about the things that people are really caring about. My 449 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: concern And this is clearly the attempt with January sixth 450 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: is Democrats are desperately trying to get Donald Trump to 451 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: announce that he's going to run already so that they 452 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: can try to make twenty two a referendum on Trump. 453 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: Don't fall into their trap, don't run into their fire. 454 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: They are the story right now, their failure. And I 455 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: know this is tough for Trump, and I think because 456 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: he's so used to being the center of attention. They 457 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: are so incompetent. You are gaining every single day and 458 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: every single week and every single month just by letting 459 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: them burn. Right, You don't need to do hardly. You 460 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake obvious. 461 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: And so that's what I think, that's what the one 462 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: thing we have to guard against, Buck, is the idea 463 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: of just following Democrats into that big conflagration, into that 464 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: big fire pit, and so you get burned too. They 465 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: destroyed themselves. So as now everyone's talking more about recession. 466 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: And also today it's surprising that inflation was high recording 467 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 1: the experts. Our team pulled this for his Clay back 468 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: in the middle of May. So about a month ago, 469 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: I said, low growth, high inflation, also known as stagflation 470 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: or recession inflation. That's we are facing right now in America. 471 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: They're gonna start to use the R word soon, Clay, Recession. 472 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: I think everyone sees it coming, and you said, no doubt, 473 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 1: And that is where we are right here. We're a 474 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: month later. And it turns out the two guys who 475 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: are the constant by every everyone listening to this, who's 476 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: you know, going into their business, working at their business, 477 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: and driving to work whatever. They know what's happening right now. 478 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: We all see what's happening right now, the spending spree. 479 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: We are in the midst of the hangover now friends 480 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: and Democrats pushed all this stuff through. What's amazing, Buck, is, 481 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: how do we get everything so right? And all these 482 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: and I'm air quoting. If you're watching on video as 483 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: part of the VIP twenty four seven, you can see it. 484 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 1: All of the experts keep getting it wrong. How many 485 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: months in a row have the experts been wrong on 486 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: their inflation expectations? At some point, if you're always wrong 487 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: in one direction, wouldn't you adjust your expectations and make 488 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: your expectations work? I mean, the stock market is down 489 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm looking right now. I mean, by the way, don't 490 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: check your four oh one ks. In the Biden years, 491 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: it's down seven hundred and fifty points as we talk 492 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: right now, was down six hundred. I'm talking about the 493 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: dow yesterday, I was at thirteen hundred points roughly in 494 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: the space of two days, all because inflation came in 495 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: far worse than these guys were expecting. To me, just 496 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: give an eye for all the Wall Street traders out 497 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: there listening. Expect it to be awful. Right, My wife said, 498 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: we had our first kid. People were like, hey, what'd 499 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: you what was the sleep situation? Like just like you 500 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: know it wasn't as bad as I thought, And they 501 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: were like, oh, he was a really good sleeper. Said no, 502 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: he was awful. But I expected it to be awful. 503 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: Right when you have a young baby and you're not 504 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: gonna get sleep, expect it's gonna be awful. We have 505 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: the equivalent of a young baby president, excepting as an 506 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: old man and he's incompetent. Expect everything to be awful. 507 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: Set your expectations for awfulness. That way, if it's just 508 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: a little bit shy of awful, you're not as disappointed. 509 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: That's where we are, and unfortunately, I think that's where 510 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: we have to be. And we'll talk about this throughout. 511 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,719 Speaker 1: But I need every Republican listening right now, all you 512 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: Senate staffers, all you House staffers, all you politicians themselves. 513 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: You need to raise your right hand, and you need 514 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: to pledge that you will not pass any additional spending 515 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: to make this inflation worse. You're not gonna let Joe 516 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: Biden in his administration try to fix this by lighting 517 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 1: things even worse on fire. So not non economist buck, 518 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: the team is polic I said. I said, let's let's see, 519 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: because now you're gonna hear a lot of talk about inflation. 520 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: Why don't we start talking about inflation, Clay, eighteenth of 521 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: October twenty twenty one. They're gonna be shortages of products 522 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: that you want to buy. We don't know how to 523 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: spend all this information so quickly, by the lay, because 524 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: we have our amazing transcripts up on clayuck dot com, 525 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: which anybody can go and check and they could search 526 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: that recession. Yeah, it could mean we're heading into a 527 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: period of diminished GDP, perhaps even rising unemployment. Yes, even 528 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: our recession I was in October of twenty twenty one, 529 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: So I'm just it's June of twenty twenty two, and 530 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, ever's like, oh, you know, I 531 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: guess things are gonna get rough. All the experts are surprised, Clay, 532 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: and yet we are not. Why is that because the 533 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: experts want to be invited to the fancy cocktail parties 534 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: in Georgetown. That's why, no doubt we're gonna have a 535 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: fancy election party on November down here in Nashville. I 536 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: can't wait for that. I think we're both gonna be invited. 537 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: It would be an upset if we weren't allowing our 538 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: own party I want to tell you all about Father's 539 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: Days coming up, and a lot of you are trying 540 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: to make sure you come up with great Father's Day 541 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: gifts idea. But how tough is that? By the way, 542 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: Dad probably doesn't want anything. Good chance Dad saying, hey, 543 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 1: you know what, If I want it, I'll buy it myself. 544 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: Otherwise I'm good. He's still wearing around his old shirts, 545 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: his old shoes, his old pants, and you give him 546 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: a tie anymore, nobody wears ties socks.

Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show 569 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: a couple of detailed benefit We're gonna say some positive 570 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: stories even though there's no basis in reality for why 571 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: they're changing. Now. We were talking for what year plus 572 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: now it feels like about the stupid requirement that if 573 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: you go out of the country you have to have 574 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: a negative COVID test in order to return to the country. 575 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: And probably some of you listening right now have gotten 576 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: stuck overseas for a variety of reasons, even though you 577 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: can cross our southern border with no testing requirements at all. 578 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: I used as an example buck, if you go down 579 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: to Cancoon, or you go somewhere in Mexico, if you're 580 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: on the west coast, you go towards Cabo, you can't 581 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: get back on an airplane flight and come back. You 582 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 1: were just in Bermuda right over a Memorial Day weekend, 583 00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: and you had to pass a test in order to 584 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: be let back into the country. Right. The most frustrating 585 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: part of that process is that it's not just take 586 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: a test, which at this point it's also dumb. Yes, 587 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: everyone's gotten COVID, Everyone's gonna get COVID. You know, what 588 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: are we even doing? But you know, it's like testing 589 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: everybody for a cold before they get on a plane. 590 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: That's effectively what it means now. But it's not even 591 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: just you take the test. Then you have to send 592 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: it into some government agency, at least in the case 593 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,719 Speaker 1: of Remuna, where they review your test results and then 594 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: they send you back a permission to allow you to 595 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: actually board the plane, or else they won't let you 596 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 1: board the plane. So you go get your test and 597 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: you sit there You're like, well, I hope the Bureau 598 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: of Testing or whatever decides to actually, you know, I I 599 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: hope they don't take a long lunch break today. But 600 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: government bureaucracy, man, nobody cares how much stress, anxiety and 601 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: nonsense you're put through. Yeah. And I asked when we 602 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: were down in Mexico because my wife was afraid of it. 603 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: When we went down I think it was in February 604 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: of this year or last year. I can't even remember 605 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: when we were down there, but I said, as anybody 606 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: ever test positive here, and the lady at the resort 607 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 1: said nope, because I you know, I was like, I 608 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 1: remember talking to my wife. I said, well, the worst 609 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: case scenario, we get stuck in Mexico for longer and 610 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: we just hang out on the beach. She was like, 611 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: what about the kids, And I said, hey, we got 612 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: an excuse. Grandparents have to watch. Then we can't get 613 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 1: back in the country. But that has now been waived 614 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 1: starting on Monday, so you no longer will have to 615 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: have a negative test to re enter the country. That 616 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 1: entire bureaucratic shenanigans, which makes no sense. And by the way, Buck, 617 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: why is it suddenly removed Because there's no tangible metric 618 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: that would suggest, oh, now, this is such a minor issue. 619 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:41,399 Speaker 1: There's way more people testing positive for COVID on this 620 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: day than there was last year at this time, according 621 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: to the data. And by the way, they've also finally 622 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: removed starting Monday, the mask requirement, which yes has still 623 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: existed for toddlers in New York City if your kid 624 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: were in daycare somewhere. I mean all this is just 625 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: most three child abuse. I just want to remind everybody 626 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: that the progressive activists in America today don't want your 627 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: child to be able to breathe freely in school, but 628 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: do want your child to be at a drag show 629 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,800 Speaker 1: in a strip club. That is the progressive left in 630 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: America today. These are the priorities that you see from 631 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: the activist wing of the Democrat Party. When we come back, 632 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: by the way, here in a minute, Buck, we'll start 633 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,280 Speaker 1: off the next hour because we got some great guests coming. 634 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: But I really want to have a legitimate conversation about 635 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 1: this Democrat obsession with Trump, because underlying basically everything that 636 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: happened last night in January six not about the future 637 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 1: at all. It's about what happened eighteen months ago. But 638 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: Democrats are terrified of Donald Trump being the nominee in 639 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four because they think he would win. And basically, 640 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: this feels I don't know about how you feel. It 641 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 1: feels like a third impeachment trial of Donald Trump, even 642 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: though he is not the president of the United States 643 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: right now? Why stop at three peach I think that 644 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: they should really line up impeachment four and impeachment five 645 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: and just make this as absurd as they really want to, 646 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: because we all understand, I mean, the first two impeachments 647 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: so degraded, that whole process, we're so ridiculous. So at 648 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 1: this point, I don't even know what's holding them back. 649 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 1: The thing about the Democrats is they've got one really 650 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: good thing going for them at this stage, Clay, and 651 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: that is they have no integrity to protect. And when 652 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,479 Speaker 1: that's the case, you can do whatever who cares well. 653 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: And what I would say too, as we're going to 654 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: talk about this, I want all of you to think 655 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: about this as we head through the break here at 656 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,760 Speaker 1: the first hour. What precedent is being set by allowing 657 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: primetime hearings that are effectively a show trial, a third 658 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: impeachment of Donald Trump and presuming that Republicans take back 659 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: the House in the Senate in November, which I think 660 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 1: is going to happen.
