1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: All right, third hour of play, and bucket's going right now.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Thank you for being here with us. As you know,

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: President Trump's on a huge trip through the Middle East.

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: A lot going on there. Offered a pathway to normalcy

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: with Syria after a long and horrific civil war in

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: that country and US military operations there against Kadis, all

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: that stuff now, perhaps no guarantees there could be a

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: better future for that country. He's got deal making happening

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: with the Saudi's, deal making happening with the UAE, with

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: Cutter and perhaps with Iran as well. That remains to

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: be seen. Those details remain to be seen. But there's

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: also Trump speaking to the troops in Cutters. You know,

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: we have a very large military base there, and he

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: decided that he was going to address them directly. I

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: wanted to let you hear from some of this. We'll

16
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: talk about how the military and recruitment and all that

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: is going under the Trump administration as well.

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 2: But this has cut eight.

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: Trump saying some words to the troops.

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 3: The real strength of our military doesn't come from it's

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: fighter jets. It really comes from our people. That's you,

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: comes from our people. Your unbelievable people. The aptitude and

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: all of the things you have to do to do

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: what you do. You know, I look at some of

25
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 3: those engines, and I'm a pretty smart cookie.

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: I would tell you I'm really supplied.

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: And I look at you, and you take those engines

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: apart and put them back together, blindfolded, then fix them up.

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: It's amazing what you're able to do, and then to

30
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 3: fly them just incredible. You're incredible. You're a very special

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: group of people. And that's why in my twenty twenty

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: six budget includes across the board, maybe you don't want

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: to look for the good of the country, you don't

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: have to take it. Pay raises for each and every

35
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: one of you, substantial pay.

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Raisers, pay raise for the military clay. You know, recruitment

37
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: already up substantially under the Trump administration and Secretary of

38
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Defense Hegseets Tenure. Turns out that the people that you

39
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: want fighting your wars or preparing rather the defense of

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: your nation in the event of war, want actually the

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: business of the Pentagon to be war fighting and the

42
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: focus of it to be on war fighting and not

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: a big social justice experiment and a bureaucracy where people

44
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: just show up and it's not really clear what anybody's doing.

45
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 4: No doubt, and I think again Trump's tour of the

46
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: Middle East, it has a incredible impact already in terms

47
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 4: of what Iran is reportedly willing to do. And also

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 4: this comes on the heels Buck, We've got more data

49
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 4: from April in the economy, and I'm looking at this

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 4: article from Axios Hard Data. This is the headline, Hard

51
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 4: data suggest tear off driven inflation and respect recession fears

52
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 4: may be overblown. You mentioned earlier the S and P

53
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: five hundred back near six thousand, now over fifty nine hundred,

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: and it says a new data out Thursday showed steady

55
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: retail sales and a surprising drop in wholesale prices in April,

56
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 4: such that there is no evidence that the tariffs are

57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: leading to massive increases in cost of goods. In fact,

58
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 4: the Producer price indexed showed that prices actually fell in April,

59
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: and the cost of goods overall is flat in many ways.

60
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: And I mentioned Buck, the price of gas, which no

61
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 4: one is talking. Isn't it kind of crazy that all

62
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: of the headlines we saw about what eggs cost and

63
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: I don't know what percentage of you buy eggs weekly.

64
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: Maybe all I I don't know, but I know most

65
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: of you buy gas weekly, and I know most of you.

66
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: When you gauge what things cost, you don't look necessarily

67
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: at one product.

68
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: When you go to the grocery store.

69
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: You buy whatever your usual groceries are, and then the

70
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: price comes up and you're like, boy, that's been a

71
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: lot more than I expected.

72
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 2: Gas is really easy.

73
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 4: Remember when people started putting that I did that picture

74
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 4: of Joe Biden next to the gas gauges, little stickers

75
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 4: you would see all over the place. I saw them

76
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 4: all over my neighborhood. Gas prices are down fifty percent

77
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 4: since Joe Biden was in office. They're approaching the lows

78
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 4: that were set when Trump was in office. And you

79
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: just played that clip from the Middle East. Well, you

80
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 4: know what happens when you have good relations with people

81
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 4: in the Middle East.

82
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: They put more oil and gas they.

83
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 4: Actually want instead of they have a cartel they can control,

84
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: basically to a large extent, what the price of gas is.

85
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: Opek opex pretty.

86
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 4: Powerful and right now they're like, hey, we're well, you know,

87
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: we have a good relationship with the United States. We're

88
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: fine with producing a lot of oil and gas. It

89
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: also is cutting the economic engine out of Russia when

90
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: prices for oil and gas in Iran, which they sell

91
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: on the black market to a large extent, when overall

92
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: prices are low, the fact that you can get cheaper

93
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 4: oil and gas from Russia and Iran because they're having

94
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: to sell them on the black market means that the

95
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 4: money that is pouring into those countries is declining. It

96
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: should be a massive story what price we're getting for

97
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: gallons of gas?

98
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: Right now? Almost no one's writing or talking about it.

99
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: And if you really.

100
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 4: Are concerned about the war in Ukraine, do you know

101
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 4: one of the best things we could do to cut

102
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 4: economic engine in the economic power of Russia away? Lower

103
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 4: gas price? Do you know the best thing we could

104
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 4: do to delegitimize the powers of the Ayatola in Iran?

105
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 4: Lower gas prices. It's a huge friggin story.

106
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: Google it.

107
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: Hardly anybody's talking about it. But the price of eggs,

108
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, we got to know every We gotta

109
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 4: know how much your scrambled eggs cost. It's really goes

110
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 4: to what stories are focused on. And I'm telling you,

111
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 4: yesterday when I saw two sixty five gallon of gas

112
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 4: in South Nashville. I bought over the weekend. I think

113
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: it was two eighty seven. Prices keep coming down, Buck.

114
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 4: This is where most people, normal people, judge the economy

115
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 4: based on what they have to pay to fill their

116
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 4: gas tank up.

117
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 2: That's just the reality.

118
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: There's something else that I think Trump instinctively knows and

119
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: has known his whole life and has lived his whole life,

120
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: which is that the American economy is the single greatest

121
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: wealth generation machine ever devised in the history of existence. Okay,

122
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: nothing has ever been anywhere near what America has been

123
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: for let's say, certainly the last one hundred and you

124
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: know something years. Okay, America has been an incredible wealth

125
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: generation machine. If it is allowed to continue to do

126
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: what it does, it will also continue to make all

127
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: of us wealthier. And I mean that, every single one

128
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: of us as a people. It means, you know, this

129
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: is when you start to look at what was the

130
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: access to If you look at somebody in the nineteen

131
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: fifties who was really rich, and look at somebody today, Okay,

132
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean your access to much better healthcare, much better food,

133
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: much better entertainment, much more comfortable everything. I mean, we

134
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: are all wealthier. Actually, this is what people get very

135
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: much into. And Naval Ravakan, who's a thinker that I

136
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: sometimes cite on the show, does a very good job

137
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: of explaining this. We get into status a lot of

138
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: the time. Wealth and status are not the same thing, right.

139
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: You can talk about everybody getting wealthier in a country,

140
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: and there may be people who still say no, no, no,

141
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: and it's because they don't think that they have more.

142
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 2: Than the people.

143
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: They want to have more then, but that's not the

144
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: same thing I think Trump understands. So that's the status

145
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: versus wealth paradigm. We all have actually gotten wealthier as

146
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: a nation. I'm talking about now over one hundred year. Yeah,

147
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: recently there's been some or you know there there have

148
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: been years. You look at two thousand and eight. Things

149
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: have turned a bit. But as long as we don't

150
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: mess up this amazing thing called the American economy too badly,

151
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: it's going to continue to do what it does, which

152
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: is create a wealthier and a more prosperous America all

153
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: the time. Democrats are always so focused clay on hyper

154
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: regulating it and dividing the spoils within it and finding

155
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: ways to carve up the pie. They don't even stop

156
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: to think this pie is getting bigger every year. Yes,

157
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: let's how do we make this How do we keep

158
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: this pie growing and getting bigger all the time? With

159
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: again the Democrat mindset, because it's about equality in their minds,

160
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: it's about status and if I don't, if I feel

161
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: like there are too many people who have This is

162
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: why Bernie Sanders goes around. Billionaires have no impact on

163
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent of Americans day to day lives. Okay,

164
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter that there are a thousand billionaires or

165
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: something like that in this country, but it's a fun

166
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: way to divert people from Hey, what are you actually

167
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: paying in taxes in your state? How good is your

168
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: healthcare that you're being forced to buy because of regulations?

169
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: What's actually happening with inflation chipping away at your savings?

170
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: Like those are real things that affect you.

171
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: Your analogy on the pie is actually the way that

172
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 4: I see the country. I didn't like living on the

173
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 4: East Coast because it felt to me like everybody was like,

174
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: there's only twelve slices. We're gonna have to fight you

175
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: to see who can get the most slices, Like the

176
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: East Coast, I would argue, of all the parts of

177
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 4: the United States is the most focused and status conscious.

178
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 4: You getting something means somebody else will loses something. Best

179
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 4: case scenario West Coast used to be before they destroyed it. Hey,

180
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 4: let's build a brand new pie. That's way bigger, right,

181
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 4: like the brand new technology.

182
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: It's not old school.

183
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 4: Europe is the worst with you with your pie analogy.

184
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: South is like, hey, do you want to share? You know,

185
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 4: It's like people are just really friendly. They're not necessarily

186
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 4: as as status obsessed, but what you hit on is

187
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 4: so important because we all live. This is a great

188
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 4: stat and I think it's still true. The poorest twenty

189
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: percent of Americans would be the richest people in almost

190
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 4: every country in the world. And one of my favorite stats.

191
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: I think you may have shared it for the first time.

192
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: England is poorer than Mississippi. Yep, per capita. Yeah, and

193
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 4: that's a holy crab moment if you've been to London.

194
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: I'm not saying there's not a lot of rich people,

195
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 4: but for a long time people dump on Mississippi. It's

196
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 4: great state, by the way, a lot of great people,

197
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: but they would say, oh, it's and I think it's

198
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 4: still Mississippi as the poorest average per capita in the

199
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 4: United States. It's richer than Great Britain, and that speaks

200
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 4: to the wealth overall of the United States, that even

201
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 4: our poorest state is wealthier than a huge European country

202
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 4: on average.

203
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: Yes, well, this is also why you know, we have

204
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: and this is maybe transitions a little bit of the

205
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: RFK discussion. We have become a society where the challenges

206
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: of and the diseases of abundance are far more of

207
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: a problem than to diseases of scarcity. Whether it's eating

208
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: way too much and obesity and the health challenges from that,

209
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: that's obviously an overabundance issue.

210
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: I mean it is.

211
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about the grocery store thing yesterday,

212
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: and maybe this just makes me sound like I don't

213
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: know how many of her watched Perfect Strangers, but I

214
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: sound like Belkie Bartakamus, who is the uh. I think

215
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be like a Greek immigrant or something,

216
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: and he says like, oh, what the you know, amazing country,

217
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: But I walk into the grocery stores around here, Clay,

218
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: It's just like a vast reservoir of food. It's unbelievable

219
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: how much produce and food Americans have access to. And

220
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: we don't even think twice. And I've been you know,

221
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: you've been in places too. I mean, you go to

222
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: the Caribbean.

223
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: Caribbean's poor. A lot of parts in the Caribbean are poor.

224
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 2: I live there.

225
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: There are some, Yes, that's what I mean. But I'm saying,

226
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's truly poor, right, I mean, you know,

227
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: Haiti's one of the poorest countries on the planet. You

228
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: go around here, you just take all of this stuff,

229
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: all this stuff for granted a lot of the time.

230
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: And I just think that with Trump, which you have,

231
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: is somebody whose focus is letting the greatest wealth generation

232
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: machine in human history, which there is no argument that

233
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: America is that thing, letting it just do its thing,

234
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: like ride this, ride this show horse all the way

235
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: to the finish line. With Democrats, they sit around and

236
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: they have committees about like, well, what about the other horses,

237
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: Like how are.

238
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: They going to feel?

239
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: Like what about the DA No, Let's let the American

240
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: economy and it's a little bit of a Calvin Cooliest thing.

241
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: Let the business of the American people be business. And

242
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: I just think that you're seeing the early stages of that,

243
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 1: and it doesn't have we don't have to have the

244
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: sclerotic bureaucracy that is choking off so much wealth generation, creativity.

245
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: And when you start to think about this country versus

246
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: other countries, I mean, you just look at GDP per

247
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: capital wealth Clay. You know, China we think of as

248
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: our nearest competitor. I think Chinese GDP per capita is

249
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: like a third of ours. I'm going off the top

250
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: of my head here, but I mean it's a fraction

251
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: of what. Not only that, what they find is it's

252
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: very hard to take the proverbial next step to actually

253
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: challenge us, because this goes back to historically Japan was

254
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: going to pass us if you looked at all the

255
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 1: projections China's peaked, I think China's already begun to decline.

256
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: And that's what can make them a little bit scary

257
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: right now because sometimes, as we know historically, it's not

258
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: when you peak that your power is at most. It's

259
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: when you start to lose power that sometimes you overreach,

260
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: which could happen with Taiwan.

261
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: Things like I just.

262
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: Think everyone should always be very cautious about listening to

263
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: the catastrophists and the the high priests of resentment because

264
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: that again, that gets you back into that status.

265
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: This is what Marxists do. This is how communism gets going.

266
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: You know.

267
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: It's as long as they they they're making the right

268
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: people miserable, they can make you miserable too. It's kind

269
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: of the way that you know, or overregulated, over controlled

270
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: the economy's function. And Trump takes the approach of how

271
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: do we do what is going to be best for

272
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: the most every you know, one hundred times out of

273
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: one hundred. The way to do this is to try

274
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: to actually grow the American economy and we will all

275
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: get richer. And there are a lot of ways we

276
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 1: can even look at this ourselves. But I just think

277
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: the catastrophism stuff is it's so yeah, we have to

278
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: watch the debt. That's when we can't. We can't just

279
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: let this machine get destroyed. But it actually works, That's

280
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: my fundamental thing. Like Trump knows that it works.

281
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 4: If you live in a house, you know it already.

282
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 4: Roof collects a lot of rain, and a perfect world,

283
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 4: all that rain runs right out of the gutters. But

284
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: we don't live in a perfect world. Your gutters get

285
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 4: clogged mine, get clogged with wiffleballs, footballs, even occasionally the

286
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: little nerf ones. All different sorts of stuff can get

287
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 4: stuck in your gutters. And when rainstorms come suddenly you

288
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: found I find out that you don't have the clean

289
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 4: gutter that you thought to. Maybe it start to get

290
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: a little bit of a flood in your roof, Maybe

306
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: other things going on well for him right now, he

307

Speaker 4: now has an eleventh grandchild. His daughter Tiffany has just

310
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: which is pretty fantastic. I would imagine for those of

311
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 4: you out there that have been able to become grandparents

312
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: we come back. Jake Sullivan, who according to a new book,

313
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 4: was called Steve multiple times in a public room where

314
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 4: everybody could see, despite the fact that he's known Biden

315
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 4: for decades, said he had no idea and told the

316
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: debate that Biden was not doing well mentally. I just

317
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 4: think we need to hold these people accountable and be

318
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: playing all of the things they said, which are clear lies,

319
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 4: and so we'll hit some of this for you when

320
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: we come back again.

321
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: I just like to make sure we remember what needs

322
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: to be remembered here to understand the full scope of

323
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: the deception here, Clay, this is lying about something that's

324
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: really important. Yes, it's really important whether or not the

325
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: most powerful person on the planet has a brain that

326
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: functions Yes, this is not lying about like whether the

327
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: tax rate is going to go up two percent of

328
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: a year or not. Okay, that's a lie, But this

329
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: is lying about something big, all right. Look, Dedicated first

330
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: responders and service members like US Army Major Scott Smiley

331
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: have paid a high price serving our nation and communities.

332
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: Friends like you have shown your gratitude for Scott's service

333
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: and sacrifice, not only through words, but through action. His

334
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: brave service member was in Iraq leading his platoon when

335
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: a car bomb detonated in front of him. The blast

336
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: sent shrapnel through Scott's eyes. Living a blind and temporarily paralyzed,

337
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: but he refused to let his injury stop his military career.

338
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: Scott became the first blind active duty officer in military history,

339
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: before medically retiring years later. Thanks to friends like you,

340
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: Tanta Towers Foundation gave Scott and his family a mortgage free,

341
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: specially adapted smart home to help him live more independently.

342
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: Please show that you appreciate the profound sacrifices made by

343
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: America's heroes, the men and women who have served our

344
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: country and our community so unselfishly show your support now

345
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: donated eleven dollars a month, the Taunta towers at T

346
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: two T dot org. That's t the number two T

347
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: dot org.

348
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: All right, so we're.

349
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: Getting more and more. Look, some of this is just

350
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: to have fun with it, because we had to sit

351
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: here and deal with all of the lies, all of

352
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 1: the nonsense from these Democrats for a long time, and

353
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: they were all so smug at their overpaid perchase at

354
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: CNN and MSNBC and New York Times in these places,

355
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: they're all, oh, Biden's fine, he's sharp as attack, and

356
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: we're just finding out more and more they I mean,

357
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: they all knew and and there must have been some

358
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: part of them, Clay. As as much as they lack integrity,

359
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: there's a level of humiliation that goes with this too.

360
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: I mean to say that this guy was not, you know,

361
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: Captain mushy Brain is just it's it's it's degrading. It's degrading,

362
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, so degrading.

363
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 4: Reports today that Jake Sullivan, Jake Sullivan's best callbuck probably

364
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 4: was whin like two days before October seventh, he said

365
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 4: to Middle East had never been quieter and safer, and

366
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: then oh yeah, Hamas attacks unbelievable timing but he was

367
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 4: asked by Politico. Hey, uh, and before I play this,

368
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 4: there are reports today that Biden multiple times referred to

369
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 4: him as Steve. They've known each other for and I'm

370
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 4: gonna talk about how funny this is in a minute.

371
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 2: They have known each other for decades.

372
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 4: Jake Sullivan, I'm not saying that you should do yes,

373
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 4: you should do this every time. I don't know how

374
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 4: often Jake Sullivan tweets every I'm asking all of you,

375
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: every time that he tweets, for the rest of his career,

376
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: just respond thanks Steve. Like I want this to be

377
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 4: the number one every time Jake Sullivan tweets for the

378
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 4: rest of his life. I want one of you to respond,

379
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 4: at least one of you, thanks Steve. And if you're

380
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: not saying thanks Steve, I want you to, like the

381
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 4: first person who was there, to stay Thanks Steve. I

382
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 4: want every one of his tweets to be outvoted by

383
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 4: thanks Steve. But he was asked because he's a liar,

384
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: and he's a shameless liar, And he was asked by Politico,

385
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 4: when did you first realize that Joe Biden might not

386
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 4: be mentally sharp? And this was his answer, just a

387
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 4: few months ago.

388
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 6: What happened in that debate was a shock to me.

389
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 6: I think was a shock to everybody. And I've made

390
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 6: that point before.

391
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: Just finally, do you think in retrospect, given everything that's

392
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: happened and everything we've talked about today, it was a

393
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: mistake for President Biden to try some one again.

394
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 6: One of the things about being National Security advisor is

395
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 6: that you're mercifully insulated from politics and political decision making.

396
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 6: I was insulated from it to the point where while

397
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 6: I was National Security Advisor, my spouse was running for Congress,

398
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 6: and I had strict rules about what I could even

399
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 6: do to support my spouse, let alone be involved in

400
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 6: political decision making, political calls in the White House. So

401
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 6: I have not weighed in on those issues and would

402
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 6: not weigh in on those issues.

403
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 4: Okay, so Buck, there are reports that he was in

404
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 4: the Oval office and Biden called him Steve.

405
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: They have known each other for decades. Now I want to.

406
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: Have some fun with this. Do you think that he

407
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: stopped and he was like, is like do I correct him?

408
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: Or is that just gonna make this worse? Like maybe

409
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: maybe Biden gets really angry if you tell him that

410
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: you're not Steve. You'd like Steve, stop playing games.

411
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: Thanks Steve. I want all of the responses to be

412
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 4: thank Steve. But you know what I just love is

413
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 4: leave aside the fact that Steve Sullivan here was ready

414
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: to sell the whole nation down then down the river

415
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 4: so he could be NSA for for eighteen months or

416
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 4: whatever the heck he was Buck you know when it

417
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 4: happened the first time, because the report is that he said, Steve,

418
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 4: that Jake Sullivan's heart just dropped. Because ninety nine point

419
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 4: nine percent of Jake Slash Steve Sullivan's self work is

420
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 4: that the president knows who he is. That is like

421
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 4: as his entire like his north star is Joe. Biden

422
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: knows my name.

423
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: He Joe much to be the chief National Security Advisor

424
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: to the president. That is actually the role. This notion

425
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: that he's insulated from his preposters. But these are yet

426
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: to remember. All Democrats who have worked in government for

427
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, they've all seen the West Wing.

428
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: They all have the theme to the West Wing playing

429
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: in their minds when they're walking around the White House.

430
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: And Jake Sullivan, he's like, here, I am national Security Advisor.

431
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: Tip of the Spear working for Biden, and he's thinking

432
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: about what he's going to write in his memoirs, and

433
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: he's wondering how his place will be remembered in history,

434
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: in the pantheon of national security giants. And then he

435
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: walks in he was mister President, and Biden looks at

436
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: him and goes, Steve, what are you doing here?

437
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 4: And he did it more than once, because Buck, I

438
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 4: guarantee you the first time he said Steve, Jake Sullivan,

439
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 4: who owes ninety nine point nine percent of his self

440
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 4: work to the president knowing his name, just pretended it

441
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 4: didn't happen, or like you're looking around, like looking over

442
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 4: your shoulder, is there maybe there's some guy named Steve

443
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 4: in here. Maybe maybe Biden's really sharpest attack, like they've

444
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 4: been saying, and he knows one of the random lower

445
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: level assistants. And then he goes to Jake Sullivan again

446
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 4: and calls him Steve, and do you.

447
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Kill other people in the meeting? Just like went with it.

448
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: They're like, well, Steve, what do you have to breast luck?

449
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess he just went with you know,

450
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter, And I'm somebody who's not great with names.

451
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 2: So I can.

452
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 4: But if you get somebody's name wrong that you've known

453
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 4: for decades, and I'm glad that he was humiliated like this,

454
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 4: but I want the rest of you to continue to

455
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 4: humiliate him forever over this and say thanks Steve anytime

456
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 4: he says anything.

457
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: Because he's lying.

458
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: Imagine how shocking it had to be and deflating and

459
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: destructive of his entire ego. That Biden has no idea

460
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 4: who he is. He can't remember his name, and to

461
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 4: your point, Buck, he has a really significant job. He's

462
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 4: one of Biden's top guys. They've known each other for

463
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 4: decades and Biden doesn't know who he is and I

464
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 4: don't know. So I'm gonna go from humor to sadness here.

465
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 4: I hope I never know what it's like to have dementia,

466
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: but anyone out there who has been around someone who

467
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 4: does have dementia every now and then, and I saw

468
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 4: it with Biden, and I said it on this show.

469
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 4: You can see the panic in the eyes of the

470
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 4: person who has dementia as they are aware, not all

471
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: the time, but they are aware that their brain does

472
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 4: not work like it used to, and they are scrambling

473
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 4: to try to keep you from recognizing what they have

474
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: had that moment of realization of in their own mind.

475
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 4: And it is so incredibly sad and so incredibly awful

476
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 4: to think about someone doing that. And I gotta say it,

477
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 4: Jill Biden put her husband up to.

478
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 2: This again and again and again. She is an evil witch.

479
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

480
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 4: It is impossible for me to defend her as anything

481
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 4: other than an awful human being because I can make

482
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 4: fun of Steve Sullivan slash Jake Sullivan there, Kamala Harris,

483
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 4: all of these other people who owe their power to

484
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 4: the proximity of the president. They didn't swear when they

485
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 4: got married that they were going to be the partner

486
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 4: for the rest of their life like Joe Biden did.

487
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 4: Now I know she's wife number two, but leave that aside.

488
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: The one person that Joe Biden, probably, whatever you think

489
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 4: of him, and I think he's an awful president, whatever

490
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 4: you think about him, the one person that he should

491
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 4: have been able to rely on, failed him and put

492
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 4: him in that position over and over again. I remember

493
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,719
Speaker 4: that video Buck with them there walking in the sand,

494
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 4: and Biden every step he takes he looks like he's

495
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 4: going to fall, and Jill doesn't even look back at him.

496
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 4: She's completely dismissive of him. She just trotted him out

497
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 4: at the view again and had to cover up his answers.

498
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 4: All I have to say is, imagine what she saw

499
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: early in the morning, late at night, imagine what she

500
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 4: heard him saying, and she was going to try to

501
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: drag him to the presidency for another term.

502
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: Well, what you see, and this is not new, and

503
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: it's not even in any way limited to Jill Biden,

504
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: but for people who are in this world of national

505
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: politics and have spent their whole lives pretty much in

506
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: and around it, which is true of both Joe and Jill,

507
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: because he's been how long have they been married, and

508
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: he's been a senator for forty something years, And what

509
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: matters as being in the game, and she didn't want

510
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,239
Speaker 1: to give that up. More important to her, even than

511
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: her husband's dignity or any sense of honor or integrity

512
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: with the American people, had to stay in the game.

513
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: And the part of this that I also think is

514
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: never going to get enough attention, but I think it

515
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of attention. Clay, Yes, you're right, Jill Biden.

516
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: Jill Biden achieved villain in this, although she would justify

517
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: her actions. You know, if she were she were standing

518
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: at the at the Pearly gates and they're asking her,

519
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: she would say, well, anything would be better than having

520
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: Trump even to this is what Democrats really believe that

521
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, with you know, advanced Alzheimer's is a better

522
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: option for president than Donald Trump. I think the Democrats

523
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: believe that. I think they still believe that, and so

524
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't I don't actually think that they are chastened

525
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: or feel sorry for what they did. I think they're

526
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: bothered by losing and the embarrassment of it. They're embarrassed,

527
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: but they're not they're not humbled. That's a different thing.

528
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: But one thing, and I I have to just remark

529
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: on here they had.

530
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: A plan B.

531
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: The whole system is premised on, Hey, we got the

532
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, things happen to human beings and they get

533
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: older or you know, God forbid something that you know,

534
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: someone does something bad to them. We know what happened

535
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: to that they try to do to Trump in the summer. Uh,

536
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: that's why you have a vice president. It was all fair.

537
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 7: They didn't push for Kamala because she's such a disaster.

538
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 7: That they also thought Joe with all Zheimer's was a

539
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 7: better option than completely like mentally, they're not impressive, but

540
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 7: they're Kamala Harris. That is the part of the story

541
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 7: they will not want to talk about, but that is

542
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 7: the calculation one hundred percent that they made all Zeimer's

543
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 7: or dementia Joe better option than Kamala Harris. According to

544
00:29:55,120 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 7: the telefunctional brain was worse than dementia Joe. Yes, yes,

545
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 7: and I think underperformed what he would have performed in

546
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 7: the general election. I still believe that we can't run

547
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 7: that experiment, but yeah, I mean, I think it's an

548
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 7: interesting it's an interesting argument. You're getting nervous, by the

549
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 7: way about your nicks A.

550
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: Little bit, a little bit, A little bit nervous.

551
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 4: A little bit nervous. I think that game's not till

Speaker 4: what game six.

554
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: The problem with.

555
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: The Celtics play is they are a better basketball team.

556
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: So hoping that your team is going to win when

557
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: the other team is just kind of better at the sport,

558
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: it can happen, but it's not easy.

Speaker 4: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. All right,

587
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 4: I think we got a bunch of talkbacks from people

588
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 4: out there that wanted to be weighing in. I'm gonna

589
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 4: if you guys will give me the updates there on

590
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 4: what where those are, I will hit them. But I

591
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: did want to hit this. This is cut twenty eight.

592
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 4: Do you know what Democrats are up to today? Buck,

593
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 4: They have introduced to bill demanding trillions of dollars in

594
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 4: reparations for slavery. This is real cut twenty eight.

595
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 9: There is a debt that does exist. This country has

596
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 9: taken so much from black folks and has a debt

597
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 9: it owes because for over four hundred years into this

598
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 9: very day, this country has stolen black labor, black lives,

599
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 9: black futures. Industries were built and maintained through the subjugation

600
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 9: of black people in this country in wealth with built

601
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 9: and maintained through the discriminatory policies that still plug us

602
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 9: to this day. And to be clear, some people directly

603
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 9: benefited from it or are direct beneficiaries of it. We

604
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 9: have systems that create and perpetuate imbalances and balances in

605
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 9: our society, and you either benefit from it or you

606
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 9: are disenfranchised by it. And black people continue to be

607
00:32:55,040 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 9: disenfranchised and harmed by these systems. Others received advantages from.

608
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: This is that this is their focus. This is what well,

609
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: this is This is an idea.

610
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: The the ideology here, which unfortunately is dominant among Democrats

611
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: and on the left, is just just to be constantly

612
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: soaked in uh in resentment and demands for others to

613
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: do for you whatever it is that you think you need.

614
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: That's it. It's just you know, you you there's a

615
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: there's a it's like the the malcontent religion, if you will.

616
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 1: Like that's really what the Democrat left is all about.

617
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: And all this as we've talked about the administration of

618
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: such a program. First of all, I think it's inherently wrong.

619
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: But the administration of such a program would be impossible

620
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: to do in any way that is just. And we

621
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: already have the Supreme Court look at this and say, look,

622
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: you can't have government treating people differently based on skin

623
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: color and college admissions. We either all learn to live

624
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: under the same laws or all were not a rule

625
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: of law society. And you know, my group, whatever that

626
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: means to somebody and your group are not to be

627
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: treated differently based upon some historical narrative or some grievance

628
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: or whatever, because all that does is perpetuate the problems

629
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: and actually exacerbate the problems.

630
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 4: No doubt, well, said Michael Mansfield, Ohio.

631
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 10: Ee.

632
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: What you got for us, hey, claim Buck.

633
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 10: Just a quick remind about all those people who kept

634
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 10: saying that Biden's as sharp as a tack. Tacks have

635
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 10: two sides, a sharp side and a blunt side. Biden

636
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 10: was as sharp as the blunt side.

637
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: Pretty funny.

638
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 4: Ff ANGI from Memphis, Tennessee six hundred WRC, A lot

639
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: of listeners down there in Memphis.

640
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 11: What you got for us, hey, Clay that I just

641
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 11: wanted to comment on the Republicans holding the hearings on

642
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 11: the Joe Biden cover up. Never gonna happen, Never gonna happen.

643
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 11: The Republican don't stand up for anything.

644
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 4: I'm afraid Angie's right, And for those of you missed

645
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 4: it right off the top, I said, if they can

646
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 4: do Jan six hearings about a day that, frankly was

647
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 4: nowhere near the worst day in the country since the

648
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 4: Civil War, as Biden and Kamala insisted over and over

649
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 4: again with us. But if they can do that, put

650
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 4: them on in prime time and use them politically, how

651
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 4: much more significant is the cover up of Biden's dementia

652
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 4: because it definitely leads to the question of who is

653
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 4: actually running the country in twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four,

654
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 4: who's making these decisions in Nashville.

655
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: Gig for us?

656
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 4: I think Steve was making a lot of the decisions. Well,

657
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 4: Steve Sullivan might have been making a lot of the choices.

658
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 4: He claims he has no idea what was going on.

659
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 4: We'll come back to some of these listeners. By the way,

660
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 4: let me tell you this, Buck. You know I said earlier,

661
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 4: I wasn't able to watch the Supreme Court hearings or

662
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 4: listen to it while you were doing that. I was

663
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 4: at the Wax Museum, something my fourth grader does.

664
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna share this picture. Do you know who he

665
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 2: dressed up as today?

671
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 4: cap on and that's where I was this morning, which

672
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 4: was pretty fantastic. Lots of great kids at his elementary

673
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 4: school with some amazing costumes.
