Clay Travis buck Sexton 18 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: Podcast Join now by Art Laugher. He is maybe the 19 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: nation's most esteemed economist out there, and importantly, given my 20 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: lack of supreme economic knowledge, he can make me understand 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: very complex topics, and he can do the same, I 22 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: bet for almost everybody out there. Plus he's even mentioned 23 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: in the legendary film Ferris Bueller because of the Laffer curve. 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: He is a former Ronald Reagan economic advisor. I don't 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: know how many grandkids he has, but he's got a ton, 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: and he is here in Nashville, where I live and art. 27 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: You came on with us about a month ago. People 28 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: loved it. You walked us through where we were headed. 29 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: We're not very excited about the state of our economic union. 30 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: What would you say right now? Thanks for giving us 31 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: the time. Where are we? Big picture? A big picture? 32 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: I think the US is in a very bad economic shape. 33 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: But I'm much more optimistic than I was last time. 34 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: And the reason very simply is, I think the election 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: in November is going to be good for the Republicans, 36 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: which will at least to stop the onslaught by Biden 37 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: and the Democratic Congress and may just may lead to 38 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: some good policies, although that's still in doubt. But the 39 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: Republicans construe things up pretty badly too. But I'm very 40 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: optimistic about the election and about stopping the Biden onslaught 41 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: on the economy. Hey, Art, it's buck you know. Last 42 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: week stand Drunken Miller, one of the most well known 43 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: hedge fund money managers out there, basically said, look, no 44 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: one can predict the future, but I'm about as certain 45 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: as I can be that we're heading into a pretty 46 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: nasty recession in twenty twenty three and it could be 47 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: a really bad one. What did you think of that? 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: I think he's right. I know stand very well, and 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: he's a very smart guy. And I've known him for 50 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: forty years, thirty five years, and he really knows his stuff, 51 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: and he comes at it from a very different perspective 52 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: than I do. But he's awfully good at his trade, 53 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: and I would not discount his advice in his forecast 54 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: at all. Art. A lot of people out there have 55 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: been trying to figure out when to buy a home, 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: and in the space of a year, we basically had 57 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: thirty year mortgage rates go from around two and a 58 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: half percent to now approaching seven percent in many places. 59 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: We got a lot of young people out there listening, 60 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people who might be trading down in 61 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: homes as they're retiring. What would you tell people who 62 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: are in the housing market based on your economic analysis 63 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: both of where we are right now and where we 64 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: might be headed. Well, let me just say that what 65 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: I would think is that those mortgage rates are not 66 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: going down anytime soon. In fact, if we keep on 67 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: with the inflation, the Biden inflation that we've had, I 68 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: think those rates who go up a lot higher now 69 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: in nineteen In nineteen eighty eighty one, those mortgage rates 70 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: got up to sixteen, fifteen, seventeen percent, maybe even higher. 71 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: So that's not out of the question. So when you 72 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: look at this, if that happens, housing prices will come 73 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: down substantially. So I don't know how you do your 74 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: trade off between buying and producing a house, but I 75 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: don't think the mortgage rate peak has been hit. Speaking 76 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: of Art laugh for a former economic advisory President Reagan, 77 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: you'll see him on Fox News, and Art I got 78 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: to know the job situation. You know. That's it's interesting 79 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: because over the summer the Biden White House would point 80 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: to the low unemployment number and say, see, we can't 81 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: be in a recession because the job's number is so good. 82 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: As an unemployment is so low, where do you see 83 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: that going now? I mean the first six months of 84 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: the year we did have negative GDP growth. That has 85 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: been affirmed by further analysis recently. That was just put out. 86 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: So the job's picture and what's it going to look like, 87 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 1: because I'm not here in the Biden White House saying 88 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: at least not as much. Oh, but look at how 89 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: great the unemployment figure is. Well, you know the I 90 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: don't know why they. I mean, obviously they're going to 91 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: pick the ones that look the best to them. And 92 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: as far as unemployment rates go, this is a very 93 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: low rate of unemployment in the US. But the reason 94 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: the unemployment rates so low is not because it is 95 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: not because there's so many people employed. In fact, the 96 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: participation rate, which is the total number of people in 97 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: the labor force divided by the population, is that it's 98 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: lowest level. So why aren't any people in this age 99 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: group trying to find jobs? Why aren't they in the 100 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: labor force? And it's because the government has given them 101 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: all these special goodies that they don't need to work. 102 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: They could take time off and not work and still 103 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: not suffer the consequences of hardship on buying things. They 104 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: just don't. So I think the jobs market is at 105 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: one of its worst positions ever, not because of the 106 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: unemployment rate, but because of the participation rate, which is 107 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: it about, oh, I think sixty two point four percent, 108 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: which means that everyone's left the labor force and there 109 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: are very few people left working. And that's a real 110 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: problem that can't be solved simply. Yeah. And look, I 111 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: want to build on what you just said, because a 112 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: lot of economics is about analyzing people's behavior and what 113 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: might or might not be rational for their individual economic decisions. 114 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: It seems to me that what we did when we 115 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: shut down the economy in March and April and May 116 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: at twenty twenty and flooded the market with giving people 117 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: so much money and not requiring them to work is 118 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: create brand new paradigms whereby to your point, art, some 119 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: people just decide, Hey, you know, this whole work thing 120 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: is not for me. I'm just not going to do it, 121 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: or I'm going to commit to very short range jobs. 122 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: And to your point, I get I hear very few 123 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: people talking about this. To me, it's a psychological issue. 124 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: Why is the overall rate of work down so precipitously 125 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: compared to February of twenty twenty. Is it a psychological 126 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: or economic issue that needs to be healed in order us, 127 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: particularly when it comes to young men, to get these 128 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: people back in the workforce, well, it comes to economics. 129 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: And by giving them all that money, and I think 130 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: there's three and a half trillion dollars, which you know, 131 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: a trillion here, a trillion there, sooner or later it 132 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: adds up the real money. And giving them that type 133 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: of money gave them the wherewithal not to have to work, 134 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: and so therefore they quit. And if you look at 135 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: the people who left the labor force, they're all almost 136 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: all low level workers. Even the high level workers used 137 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: when online to do that and calls and stuff, so 138 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: they don't even work as hard. What I proposed, if 139 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: you'll remember back in March of twenty twenty, was I 140 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: proposed of the President that he not do the manution 141 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: spending plan of three and a half trillion with Schumer 142 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: and with Pelosi, but that we get rid of the 143 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: payroll tax. We have a payroll tax waiver both employer 144 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: and employee for a year and a half. That would 145 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: have put the same amount of money back into the economy, 146 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: but it would have done it by encouraging people to 147 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: work hard or not less hard not to take off 148 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: from work, which is exactly what we needed to do. 149 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: If we've done that, we'd be in great shape today. 150 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: But we're not. And that's not what they did. Manution 151 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: and Schumer and Pelosi got their way and are The 152 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act is something to Biden. White House still 153 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: talks about as though it will reduce inflation. What do 154 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 1: you see from that spending bill? How long will it 155 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: be before we feel those effects? And just generally speak 156 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: for everybody out there, I mean here, I have on 157 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: my I just saw this this morning on the amount 158 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: of increase in the cost of food. Thirteen point five 159 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: percent increase in grocery prices year over year for this 160 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: past year. That's a lot of money to people. That 161 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: really hurts. What's going to happen with inflation? When is 162 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: this thing going to get under control? Well, that really 163 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: irritates me, given that I'm a little bit tubby and 164 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: I love eating. I just love, love, love, love eating, 165 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: So I really resent the thirteen percent plus increase in 166 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: grocery prices more than other people do. But there is 167 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: no reason to expect that that inflation will stop. Now. 168 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: What you can see is that there are a lot 169 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: of spot commodity prices, very sensitive prices that during an 170 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: uptick in the economy, like when we came out of 171 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: the out of the pandemic, those prices like oil and 172 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: like a lumber, and like copper and all these others 173 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: rose enormously, so the inflation was overstated substantially. We got 174 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: up I think as high as nine point one percent 175 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: inflation on the CPI. Now that we've rolled over and 176 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: the economy's going down, these prices are falling very rapidly, 177 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 1: and now they are understating inflation dramatically. What you want 178 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: to look at is sort of a core inflation without this, 179 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: and I think the core inflation number today is probably 180 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: its highest point. And I don't expect any decline in 181 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: inflation until there's being a decline in the bad policies 182 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: that are put into place which really stimulate demand and 183 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: are antagonistic to supply. Art. So let's say that Republicans 184 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: take back the House in the Senate. To me, that 185 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: and most people out there would imagine is much desired, 186 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: But to a large extent, it will just kind of 187 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: create a log jam because Biden won't be able to 188 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 1: shove through his excessive spending programs. But a lot of 189 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: what Republicans would want to do to address our economic 190 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: status also won't get signed into law by Joe Biden. 191 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: So what does that mean for the overall state of 192 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: our economy. Let's presume Republicans take back the House, us 193 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: in the Senate. What do we look like in twenty three? 194 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: What do we look like in twenty four in your mind, 195 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: given as you said, the elevated state of inflation and 196 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: how hard now it is to chop it down. Yeah, 197 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 1: let me just talk about Republicans for a second. Republicans 198 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: are no angels now. The reason we look so good 199 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 1: as angels as Republicans is because we compare very favorably 200 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: to Democrats, to Schumer all that group which are running 201 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: with five type imperfect compared to insane, is still favorable 202 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: for imperfect. Yeah, that's right. But during the next two years, 203 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: if we did take back the Senate, in the House, 204 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: and given that we can have some sort of discipline 205 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: on the Republicans, which is by no means guaranteed. If 206 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: we could have discipline on the Republicans, we could have 207 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 1: a stasis period where things don't get a whole lot 208 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 1: worse quickly. There's a lot of still money left out 209 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: there wanting to be spent. That's going to be spent. 210 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: But what I would like to see the Republicans do 211 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: is take aspects of the Build Back Better Bill or 212 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: the baby Build Back Better, like the eighty seven thousand 213 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: new Irs agents, and just advance a piece of legislation 214 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: repeal the eighty seven thousand and the eighty billion dollars 215 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: spending there, and let it go through the House, let 216 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: it go through the Senate, and then have the President 217 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: fee to it and do that every six months and 218 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: pick out the twenty least popular things there so we 219 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: can make sure that we get the presidency back in 220 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: two twenty four. If we can get it back in 221 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: two twenty four, and God willing and the creek don't 222 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: rise too fast, we can get a complete reversal of 223 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: these policies. Jimmy, it took Jimmy Carter to create Ronald Reagan. 224 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: Guys that believe me when I tell you that, in 225 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: the same breath that it took Jimmy Carter to create 226 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan, you can't imagine the great president that could 227 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: follow Joe Biden. Aren't you're an optimist. Based on that, 228 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: Based on that story. One thing that I'm actually curious about. 229 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: You're an economic genius. You've been advising presidents for generations. Now, 230 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: does Joe Biden have anybody advising him economically that you like? 231 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: Or thin man? If he would just listen to this 232 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: guy or this girl, everything wouldn't be a disaster, because 233 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: Buck and I struggle to find any Democrat who has 234 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: basic economic sense. If we were doing a draft of 235 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: the White House personnel, we would we would wait till 236 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: next year's draft. You know, you've got a group of 237 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 1: people that are intellectually identical. They all have seen the 238 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: view through the world to the same eyes, from Larry 239 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: Summers to to Furman, to all of them Ghoulsby and 240 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: even the ones in there. I mean, you look at Bernstein, 241 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: you look at the dece you look at all of 242 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: these guys, and they all have the same view of 243 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: the world. The government's spending stimulius economy makes life better, 244 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: and it's not true. I have never heard of a 245 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: poor person spending himself into wealth. It just doesn't make sense. 246 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of an economy being taxed into prosperity? Again, 247 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: it's just is silly on the face of it. But 248 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: these guys all believe that's true. They are so doctrinarian, 249 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: so in lockstep that they are unwilling to look at 250 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: the evidence of the country. I don't know if you're aware, 251 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: but my book just came out called Taxes Have Consequences. 252 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: It's a complete history of the US income tax from 253 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: nineteen thirteen to the present. I did it with Brian 254 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: Dmitrovich and Jane Sinkfield. And if you look at that, 255 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: you know everyone's allowed to have his or her own opinion. 256 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: They are. I mean, you can have your opinion about 257 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: anything you want, but you can't have your own facts. 258 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: And you know, when you look at the facts, these 259 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: people's models have not worked. They just don't work. Biden, 260 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, They're all the same, and they just don't work. 261 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: And they lead them to a rebound by the other 262 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: view of the world. And that's what I'm really looking for. 263 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: Our laugher given us some hope, some truth, and some hope. 264 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: All right, thank you so much for being with us. 265 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: What's the name of the book again, Taxes Consequences.

Teaching our nation's history that kids starts 276 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: at home. Yes, sure, school history classes can be okay, 277 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: but sometimes they're are on history books that are boring, 278 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: or they even focus on the wrong stuff where they 279 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: try to indoctrinate your kids right, They try to tell 280 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: your kids they should feel ashamed of their country.

We have calling in right now a listener. 294 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: We have Melinda who is actually a fill in meteorologist 295 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: at WFXGTV in Augusta, Georgia. So we got a real 296 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: live meteorologists calling in to tell us about the situation 297 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: here of the analysis of hurricane response. Melinda, I was 298 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: just seeing on CNN right right as you called in, 299 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: they were running a big banner at the bottom of 300 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: the screen. Questions arise over evacuation of Lee County timeline, 301 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: effectively saying it was too slow. What do you say, 302 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: There's no question in this timeline. These folks had plenty 303 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: of time to evacuate and get out. The National Hurricane 304 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: Center put out tropical storm watches well before the storm 305 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 1: it made landfall. The tropical watches a couple of storm 306 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: watches were then put into tropical storm warnings, which were 307 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: about thirty six hours prior to the storm making landfall, 308 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: and then the hurricane warnings went did go out twenty 309 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: four hours prior to the storm making landfall, but prior 310 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: to the hurricane warnings going out. There a hurricane watches 311 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: out well before then, so people had time to get out, 312 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: and the National Hurricane Center did their job was forecasting 313 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: and putting out the forecasts and advisories out in a 314 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: timely manner. You've done weather for a while, now, does 315 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: it surprise you that your entire industry at this point 316 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: feels like politics, Like anytime you give a prediction on 317 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: any weather, we Buck and I said on the show, 318 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: by Monday, this will all be political, even though there's 319 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: still a lot of people in need help. It will 320 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: turn into a deciansis didn't do a good enough job 321 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: because they're going to use it against him in the 322 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: governor's race. Has it always been this way in your 323 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: experience or does it feel to you like the weather 324 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: has just become another political log jam. It really disappoints 325 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: me that my industry has become political, because we are 326 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: not political people. We are scientists, and all we want 327 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: to do as scientists is tell you about the weather 328 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: and predict the weather. And politics has nothing to do 329 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: what we're trying to forecast. Thanks for calling him. We 330 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: appreciate it, Melinda. Yeah, Claire, I mean it's we said 331 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: as soon as all this happened, they're going to say 332 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: it's Decantis's fault. I mean, this was his obvious. They didn't. 333 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: By the way, notice how they haven't even waited to 334 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: see what you know, how quickly or No, No, it's 335 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: de Santis's fault because they're terrified of him. They're just 336 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 1: terrified of him, even what he's done in Florida politically speaking, 337 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: never mind what could happen at the national level at 338 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: some point in the future.

I just think he's 366 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: always fantastic, and I thought we've had Bill O'Reilly on 367 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: a couple of times. I thought Bill O'Reilly was phenomenal 368 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: today breaking down the political environment, talking about his latest book. 369 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: It's really really good. If you didn't hear either, maybe 370 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: you're just starting off your day with us, Maybe you're 371 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,719 Speaker 1: in the car on your lunch break on the West coast. 372 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: Make sure you go download the podcast Clay Travis buck Sexton. 373 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: You can listen to it at two x speed like 374 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: my wife does, but you won't miss anything. You know, 375 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: like Bill giveth with one hand and taketh away with 376 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: the other. I'm a genius, but I'm wrong on the Biden. 377 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: Bill's great, he's so fun. I think you have really 378 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 1: interesting analysis. Do you want to do you want to 379 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: just give a little bit of this now on why? 380 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: Because my theory is this Kamala can't win and they 381 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: can't go around Kamala without imploding the Democrat coalition. You 382 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: don't seem to think that's as much of an issue, 383 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: which then loosens things up more. Yeah, for Biden to 384 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: that now Again, I've always said if Biden has a 385 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: true health issue which could happen, then that's a different situation, right, 386 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: But if he's just actively stepping aside, then that would 387 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: be to me, that would be surprising if he just 388 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: decides he's not going to run again. The biggest issue 389 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: with Kamala not being the nominee is based on Democrat 390 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: identity politics arguments. It is both racist and sexist for 391 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: a black woman who is the currently sitting Vice president 392 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: not to be the nominee. And so many people out 393 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: there we've talked about this a great deal on the show, 394 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: find that to be an intractable problem for the Democrats 395 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 1: and therefore put Kamala in the seat as the nominee, 396 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: even though she's a disaster of a politician and a candidate. 397 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: Now that's what should happen. Democrats should have to reap 398 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: what they sew. If you only care about a candidate 399 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: because of their race and their sex, you should have 400 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: to put forward an awful candidate based on her race 401 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: and sex who gets destroyed and effectively ends the identity 402 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: politics era in the Democrat Party. I think they will 403 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: sidestep that destruction, which I really do believe would happen 404 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: if Kamala were the nominee and instead will end up 405 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: with somebody like Gavin Newsom who will beat Kamala head 406 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: to head and they will avoid the racism and the 407 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: sexism arguments because I don't think black women really feel 408 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: that connected to Kamala Harris. I think that's a narrative 409 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: that's out there. And look, I'm not a black woman. 410 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: I don't claim to have some great expertise in black women. 411 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: But I think Black women overwhelmingly support the Democrat Party 412 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: for the same reason that they voted for Hillary, for 413 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: the same reason that they voted for Joe Biden and 414 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: certainly for Barack Obama, because they are now the heartbeat 415 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party, and I think they would support 416 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom at similar levels. Now, Kamala Harris, to me, 417 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: she is, first of all, not a mother. I think 418 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: that impacts some of the amount that women like Kamala Harris. 419 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: She was, whether they want to admit it or not, 420 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: actually the mistress of a married man. That's how she 421 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: got her political start Willie Brown in San Francisco. I 422 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: think a lot of women see that and they say, 423 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: I don't like that, because most women are not the mistress. Right, 424 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: most women want to be with a man and have 425 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: a family. Kamala doesn't have children of her own, never 426 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: has had a family, and she's married to a rich 427 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: white lawyer. She's also of mixed race. Well, everybody says, oh, 428 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: she's a black woman, she's Indian and she's black. So 429 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that there would be some mass revolt 430 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party if Kamala Harris is beaten, as 431 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 1: I believe she would be. Buck Remember she dropped out 432 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: of this race after trying to make her entire campaign. 433 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: I was the black girl who had to get put 434 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: on that bus. Joe Biden, you're super racist. She dropped 435 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: out of the campaign before voting even started at one percent. 436 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: I think Biden so wildly overreacted picking her in the 437 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: first So here's here's the the issue though, right, I mean, 438 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: because I know we keep saying Gavin Newsom, Gavin Newsom 439 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: to win an election, he's gonna have to win voters 440 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 1: in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia. Gavin Newsom cannot win those votes. Oh, 441 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: I think Gavin Newsom is gonna lose. I just think 442 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: he's not gonna lose as badly as Kamala Harris would lose. 443 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: Oh no, that's that's for sure. But I'm just saying 444 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 1: that the the this goes back to my I think 445 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: Biden is still I know it's see here's my thing. 446 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: It was crazy to me. I already got burned on this. 447 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: I'll probably gonna get burned twice. I got burned the 448 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: first time around. You thought it was insane that would 449 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: even put it. It was like just guy's run three times. 450 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,239 Speaker 1: He had to drop out for plagiarism. He's always been 451 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: a buffoon. Even Democrats know he's an idiot. They brought 452 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: him on to the Obama ticket so that he could 453 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: pretend to be a foreign policy expert. Obama's foreign policy 454 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: was the worst we've seen since Jimmy Carter. I mean, 455 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: it just seemed impossible. And here we are, right who's 456 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: sitting at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania in the Oval Office. So 457 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: I thought it was impossible then, I guess it's hard 458 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: for me to wrap my mind around. Well, now it's 459 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: really impossible for them. I think whoever James Clyburne selected 460 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: as his choice in the South Carolina primary would be 461 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: the nominee no matter who if he had said to 462 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: Mayor Bloomberg is gonna be the guy. If he had 463 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: said before she dropped out, Kamala Harris is gonna be 464 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: the girl if he had said Mayor Pete. I don't 465 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 1: think Mayor Pete could have gotten it because I think 466 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people won't vote for him who are 467 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: in the Democrat base, despite the fact they scream at 468 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: homophobia at everybody else. Mayor Pete is not going to ever, 469 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: in my opinion, be the nominee for the Democrat and 470 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: for people are wondering why gay white guy. These dynamics 471 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: right now about the midterm election are going to play right, 472 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna be in the re election fight starting really 473 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: number ninth. You know, as soon as this thing is 474 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: over right, the results four results, So I know it 475 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: feels like we're getting ahead of ourselves. But the dynamic 476 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: of where the country politically will be heading, what the 477 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: what the face off will be, is going to be 478 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,239 Speaker 1: set in one month now. Most importantly right now is 479 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: getting those Republican in those critical battleground states, getting those 480 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: senators enough enough Republican senators elected that the Biden administration 481 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: effectively is just a holding pattern, right for trying to 482 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: run a second time around, So we are also making 483 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: these determinations. Look, if Democrats squeak out holding the Senate, 484 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: I do think that obviously affects whether Biden would run 485 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: again in right, So there are some factors here that 486 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 1: would shift, you know. I think that would mean that 487 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: he's even more likely to run. I mean, I still 488 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: think on balance he's their best they think he's their 489 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: best option, but that may shift here if you get 490 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: the red wave that we're talking about as well, that 491 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: could be very six days out. I think we're gonna 492 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: get it buck. And the other thing is Kamala is 493 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: going to play the race and sex angle as hard 494 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: as she can, right because it's her only route to 495 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: the nomination. So I don't believe that black women would 496 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: somehow revolt against the Democrat Party if she's not the nominee. 497 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: But she will have allies in the media who will 498 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: write those pieces and try to scare Democrats into making 499 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: her the choice, and also try to scare other politicians, 500 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 1: particularly white men, away from entering into the race at all. 501 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: I think Gavin Newsom is just a devious I think 502 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 1: he's smart. I think he's calculating I think he's cocky. 503 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: I think he's running no matter. He's certainly thinks he's smarted, 504 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: calculating and got great hair. Yeah. Look, I think all 505 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: those things are true. I think he's a really bad politician. 506 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: And I think he thinks what he did during COVID 507 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: was the right decision, and I think overwhelming indignation rejects it. 508 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: I think enough Joe. They remember they sold Joe Biden 509 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: to Democrat voters as a uniter, a union guy, a 510 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: calm things down guy. You could vote for him if 511 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: you were a steel worker in Michigan. You could vote 512 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: for him if you were, you know, on the factory 513 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: floor in western Pennsylvania or whatever. You know what I'm saying. 514 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: And they gave us obviously AOC policies with Joe. With 515 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, you're getting Malibu policies. My man, you're getting 516 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 1: my Jasey Town. I get it. But remember New York 517 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: in LA thinks that makes sense. And let me also 518 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: just say, Kamala's campaign, if Biden's not running, is gonna 519 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: sound a lot like Hillary Clinton's did in twenty sixteen. 520 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: She's gonna be arguing I deserve this effectively. I er 521 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: this because I was the VP. I'm the most qualified 522 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: I've been a senator. I was the AG of California, 523 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: and she is going to play harder than anybody has 524 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: ever played. I think not only the woman card, but 525 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm a minority, and if I don't get this, it's 526 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: racist and sexist. I don't think the Democrat electorate is 527 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: gonna buy in, but I do think a lot of 528 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: media will help to propagate that idea. What I'm saying is, 529 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: I just don't buy that there's going to be some 530 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: sort of rebellion or some sort of revolution against the 531 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: Democrat Party by black women. If Kamala is not the nominee, 532 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 1: If there is a primary, as Joe Biden is not 533 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: the nominee and decides he's going to step down, does 534 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton get involved in that primary. I think that 535 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: she will want to get involved. I'm not sure what 536 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: the internal polling would show, because I think Hillary would die. 537 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: I'm trying to sit back buck. I think Newsom is 538 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: the best of bad options. There are a ton of 539 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: Republicans that I could name to you right now and say, hey, 540 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: I could see a pathway for this or this girl 541 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: to end up the president of the United States based 542 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: on their track record. I can't even give you a 543 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 1: Democrat right now that has You're right about how they 544 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 1: sold Joe Biden. I can't even think of who the 545 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: Democrat is that they could try to sell. Maybe a 546 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: guy like Shared Brown out of Ohio, like who's a 547 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: senator and like a moderate guy. We live in conservative world. 548 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: You gotta remember Democrats still believe Joe Biden got you know, 549 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: eighty plenty. I'm just you gotta take a little walk 550 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: through crazytown sometimes, Clay, you live out in the in 551 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: the same places. I get it. I go into crazytown 552 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: enough and I just can't find anybody who would be 553 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: a winner. So and you know, as you start to 554 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: think about that, I'm trying to take my trip into crazytown. 555 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: I also want everybody out there to know that part 556 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: of crazytown is trying to run everything for your business 557 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,239 Speaker 1: by yourself. And I know this is a guy who 558 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: ran a small business, and I know a lot of 559 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 1: you out there listening have as well. It has got 560 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: so many complexities associated with it. You have to hire 561 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: the right people, you have to manage them, you have 562 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: to stay up to date on the regulations. Full time 563 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: job all by itself, there's a limit to what you 564 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: can do to keep employees engaged while you run your business. 565 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: That's why insparity exist.

What if it 571 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: also offered training for your employees to increase their skills 572 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: so they become more productive.

We are closing up 577 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: shop today on Clay and Buck just why don't you know, though, 578 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: we're going to spend more time to morrow on the 579 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: pipeline sabotage Nordstream Russia, Ukraine, all this stuff. Russians are 580 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 1: in retreat right now from areas of Ukraine that they 581 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: had previously taken. And I said this to Clay offline 582 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: or off air. I'll say it to all of you. 583 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: I do think that we are closer to a nuclear 584 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon usage incident, nuclear war of some kind. 585 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: And then at any time since the Cuban missile crisis, 586 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: I can't think of. Yes, you know, India and Pakistan 587 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: have had very tense moments, but there was always this, well, 588 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: obviously if one nukes the other, then they'll be retaliation. 589 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: So that creates some degree while tense, of a stasis 590 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: of stability. And with North Korea, if they were to 591 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: use a nuke, they know that they would be annihilated immediately. 592 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: What would the US? This is the question, what would 593 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: the US and Western response to be to a tactical 594 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: nuclear weapon usage by Russia in eastern Ukraine? And I 595 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: think people assume that they know the answer sometimes without 596 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: actually thinking through really what would the answer to that be? Now, 597 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: it's that's scary stuff. We'll spend more time on this tomorrow. 598 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: We've got Lisa calling in from Mississippi with some thoughts 599 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: on Clay's analysis of Kamala Harris. Lisa, how are you doing. 600 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm good, um, guys, I'm listening to you speak about 601 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and I'm being nice because I normally don't 602 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: call her Kamala. I call her out of her name 603 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: because that's what you know. She's. She's not what we 604 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: would as African American black women would look at trying 605 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: to emulate. I mean, she doesn't claim to be African American, 606 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: but half the time when it's convenient for her. Um, 607 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,479 Speaker 1: but she took her office. She took office as an 608 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: Indian woman. You know this is my point. Yeah, because 609 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk down I'm curious what conversations 610 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: you would have with other black women about this. There's 611 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: some people out there who say, well, if Kamala Harris, 612 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: let's say Joe Biden doesn't run, if Kamala Harris is 613 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 1: not the vice president, black women will revolt against Democrats. 614 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: And you're far more of an expert than I am. 615 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: But conversations that I hear it doesn't feel like black 616 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: women feel like Kamala Harris is the greatest representative for 617 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: them that they've ever had, or that they would revolt 618 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: against the Democrat Party if she wasn't the nominee. You 619 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: may all be a Republican if you listen to us, 620 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 1: But does that comport with the kind of conversations that 621 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: you would hear other black women have. I will be 622 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: absolutely honest, I am such a strong conservative Republican that 623 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: for the most part, the only conversations are going to 624 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: be more about how she doesn't pupport to be African American. 625 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't. I don't even talk about the 626 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: opportunity of the action of her running for that office. 627 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: I mean, she couldn't even make it into as you said, 628 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: the voting the voting forces for the primaries. I mean, 629 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,959 Speaker 1: she has no back. Well, I mean it was amazing. 630 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Lisa for calling in Mississippi. Appreciated. 631 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: Remember when Kamala Harris referred to herself very in a 632 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: very haughty way as I'm obviously a top tier candidate, 633 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: and then as she was getting like two percent of 634 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: the Democrat vote, right, I mean it was it did 635 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: not Her campaign did not go well, and Democrats brought 636 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 1: her on board because the Democrat Party does have this 637 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: identity politics obsession and having the oldest white guy in 638 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: I don't know in living memory to run for president 639 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: at the top of the ticket wasn't really in line 640 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: with the diversity and inclusion message of the Democrat base. 641 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: Even for white people. Joe Biden is super white, like 642 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: he is super super old white dude. Right, So the 643 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: idea of identity politics, I think is mostly bs from 644 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 1: the Democrats. But if Joe Biden steps down or doesn't 645 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: run for reelection, then that conversation has to occur. And 646 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see how Democrats try to pivot beyond this. 647 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: But also buck Kamala. Kamala is going to play this 648 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: for every ounce she can because it's her only route 649 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: to the presidency is to say it's racist and sexist. 650 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: If she isn't theenomenous Yeah, didn't calling it sexist didn't 651 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 1: work for Hillary. I don't think this'll work for Kamala 652 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: any better. Uh. There's one thing, Clay, I gotta tell you. 653 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: You know, my college, Amir's College. I don't talk about 654 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: it a lot here. Um it's it's one of those 655 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 1: places where it's sort of purports to be sane when 656 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: you go and visit, but as somebody who was a 657 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: student there, it's very it's very left wing. Like all 658 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: these colleges really have become now. Not every college I know, 659 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: there's Hillsdale, there's some great institutions, but you know, overall. 660 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: I mean colleges are ninety ninety five percent plus superliberal 661 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: AMers put out this mask used to Clay sent this 662 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,799 Speaker 1: to you found this one, but I went and looked 663 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: it up on the Amir's This is real. They have 664 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: a new masking policy where Amer's College will take anonymous 665 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: ballots on the first day of class from every student, 666 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 1: and if one person wants masks, they must mask up 667 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: the entire semester. These people are out of their minds. 668 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: This is also buck why I'm not willing to just 669 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: live and let live and say, oh, if people want 670 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: to wear masks, no mind. These people will make you 671 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: wear it the minute they can write. This is just 672 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: their power has gone down a little bit the moment. 673 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: Anyone walking around right now pretty much with the exception 674 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: of some senior citizens who I understand just have more 675 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: general health concerns. But anyone you see walking around under 676 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: sixty five with a mask on, they want to make 677 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 1: you wear a mask too. They're just waiting until they 678 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: can just remember that. Unfortunately, that is the reality amorous college. Man. 679 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 1: There's a reason why I'll give them money every year 680 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: at Clay is they're not gonna be happy about this 681 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,439 Speaker 1: segment for sure. Keep tuning in with us, the most 682 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: sane radio, I think the smartest
