1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in our number three Clay Travis 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show Monday edition, twenty two days until the 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: mid term. Appreciate all the mentions rolling in from a 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: lot of you who are sports fans. As I was 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: reacting to Tennessee's win over Alabama, I also would have 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: mentioned we're number one in Birmingham. We still love the 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: Crimson Tide fans out there, just not me personally. When 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: you played the University of Tennessee and you've had fifteen 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: years to celebrate, I can take a year and enjoy 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: it and so and six national championships and all those things. Buck, 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: So you're telling me I should still root for Alabama 13 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: because then I'll win. I will say this big believer 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: in Josh Hypel Now, I wasn't a believer when he 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: got hired. He's the head coach at Tennessee. Tennessee is 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: six and oo hasn't been six and oh since nineteen 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: ninety eight. Maybe coincidentally, My opinion is that America peaked, 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: maybe the world peaked in around ninety seven, ninety eight, 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: ninety nine. Also think the early two thousands. I mean, 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: we played the Core's Light Twins commercial. I just I 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 1: would like to be in an America where everybody was 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: kind of happy. And I feel like, tell me if 23 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Everybody out there listening. From about and I 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: understand that people might not have liked Bill Clinton personally 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: as president, and he slept with an intern all those things, 26 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: But from I would say about ninety five too, like 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: oh five or oh six, that decade, people seem to 28 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: get along pretty well. And it's not like we only 29 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: had good things happen. I mean, nine eleven happened, for 30 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: God's sakes, the worst thing to happen in the twenty 31 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: first century to this country. And yet people I would say, 32 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: from about ninety five to you know, maybe even early 33 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: nineties or before that to the early two thousands, it 34 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: felt like everybody kind of got along, you know, like 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: and and now I'm really happy mood today, I have 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: to say that I'm in general and optimist. And I 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: even managed to overcome the fact that I got to 38 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: ask for a VAX card today and almost jumped out 39 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: of my usual might be very the whole day you 40 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: would be, you'd be colored by how pissed off you 41 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: are about the vax card, but because of the valls, 42 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: you're like vax card schmes. I'm going to be in 43 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: a great mood the rest of the fall because Tennessee 44 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: beat Alabama. I don't even care what happens the rest 45 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: of the year. But I look, technology was at its 46 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,839 Speaker 1: all time best when cell phones you could get them 47 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: and use them if you wanted to. You didn't have 48 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: to kind for an emergency. You cut them in your 49 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: car if you got convenience. But ever since the smartphone, 50 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: we all have these surveillance devices, social media and all 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: this stuff. I think the world was better before Facebook. 52 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: You think people were way happier before social media, Like 53 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: that has to be true, right? Social media is generally 54 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: a misery machine. I mean, you can use it for 55 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: purposes that are that are good, as in promotion of 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: your business, promotion of your content, catching up on some news, etc. 57 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: But just killing time looking at social media is doing 58 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: just that. And I gotta tell you, I think TikTok, 59 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: which right now our audience is like, do you mean 60 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: the Chinese spying? Yeah, but just put that a sovereign 61 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: kid is on TikTok like crazy kids only do TikTok. 62 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: This is what I mean. I read about this. You 63 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: know about this because you have kids, But I've been 64 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: reading articles about how and TikTok is essentially combining all 65 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 1: of the most addictive, algorithmically driven social media realities and 66 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: starting kids on it at this very young age, which 67 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: is another reason why you know they're getting used to 68 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: being entertained in fifteen to thirty second increments. It's it's 69 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: rewiring people's brains. Man, it is not good. It is 70 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: going to be I think. So I feel fortunate to 71 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: have grown up in the era in which I did, 72 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: where I'm not totally like I have no idea how 73 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: the internet works, or I have no idea how social 74 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: media works, Like I understand that. But I'm very thankful 75 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: that my generation and I know we joke or about this, buck, 76 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: but you're close enough in age to know what I'm 77 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: talking about. You like somebody calling you on the phone, 78 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: your parents might answer, and if that was a boyfriend 79 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: or if that was a girlfriend, like you talked like 80 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: getting call waiting was a big deal. You made plans 81 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: in a way where your parents, at least in theory, 82 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: knew what you were trying to get into Um, I 83 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: just I feel bad about all these kids these days 84 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: who are so immersed in snapchat or TikTok that they 85 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: can't look at the larger world around them, and they 86 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: can't to your point, Buck, it's hard. It's hard for 87 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: them to focus on something to enough extent where they 88 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: become well informed on something. I think about this at 89 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: the time, because getting kids to read is becoming more 90 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: and more challenging. I think, yeah, well, but and then 91 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: there's also, uh, there's there's this these constant distractions that 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: didn't exist before. But the show social pressures that are 93 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: out there now are so much more inescapable than they 94 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: used to be. Yeah, I mean imagine it's annoying enough 95 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: to be an adult who works in the media and 96 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: you have to deal with all the lunatics and psychos 97 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: out there, or at least you and I get paid 98 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: to do this. And for a lot of other adults, 99 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: they realize that that social media is effectively a losing 100 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: proposition to put more than a very small amount of 101 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: your day to day. But for kids never more before 102 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: has essentially influence, which is I guess you could say 103 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: is a version of fame, but influence in whatever area 104 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: you're in or whatever you know, realm online you're operating 105 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: in if you're a college kid, if you're a high 106 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: school kid. Influence and I think physical attractiveness also for 107 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: people like everyone's getting these constant reinforced notions of everybody 108 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: else is so much happier and better looking than they are. 109 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: And when you're a kid and we all like I went, 110 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, maybe I'm still in an awkward phase, but 111 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: I've certainly gone through awkward phases before. You know, can 112 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: you imagine just every and around you presenting their most 113 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,799 Speaker 1: like the popular kids and the cool kids or whatever, 114 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: presenting always this vision of what their lives are like. 115 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: It's people I think need to remind them, or people 116 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: need to be reminding their kids. That's not reality. It's 117 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: not reality for the super rich and famous people doing it. 118 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: It's certainly not reality for whoever in your extended social 119 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: circle is presenting themselves, but their influencers Clay, who are 120 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: like fourteen fifteen years old now, who are making real 121 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: money doing this stuff. Yeah, I mean, I think a 122 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: good way of pointing it out is, you know, Instagram 123 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: has filters for a reason, because it's an artificial function 124 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: of reality, and the data reflects that. You know, the people. 125 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: I have three boys, so they're young moving towards teenage years. 126 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: But the ones that are suffering the most, according to 127 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: the data, are young teenage preteen girls who see completely 128 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: distorted reality on Instagram, for instance, and use it as 129 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: a function of what they should look like and what 130 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: their life should be like. And I just I worry 131 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: about how those kids are going to continue to develop 132 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: when they can't ever escape from their social bubbles. And 133 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, buck a lot of these kids, and look, 134 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on this, but my understanding talking 135 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: to other parents is that a lot of these kids 136 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: essentially live in their phones. Like they don't meet up 137 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: and have social activities in the same way that you 138 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: or I would have, or many of the people out 139 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: there listening would have had social activities. They spend instead 140 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: their time in their bedrooms on their phones interacting with 141 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: people all day long. But that's not a real interaction, 142 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: and it also creates awkward social dynamics because they're not 143 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: out and about in the real world. And I say 144 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: this all the time, and I'm we have the best 145 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: jobs in America, and I feel incredibly fortunate that we 146 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: get to do what we do, but ultimately I get 147 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: judged by my wife and my three kids. Right, that's 148 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: my household, and whatever the social set net worth value 149 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: of social media is, it doesn't really factor in for 150 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: me because I judge myself based on whether I'm doing 151 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: a good job as a dad and if my wife 152 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: is somewhat happy with me on any given day. Right, 153 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: far from perfect, we're eighteen years in, but that's how 154 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: you should be judged, based on the actual, real relationships 155 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: that you have with people on a day to day basis. 156 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: And I feel like people have created so much artificiality 157 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: that it is a big reason. I mean, we weren't 158 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: scheduled to talk about this necessarily, but not that we 159 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: scheduled to talk about anything, to be fair, it's live radio. 160 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: But I think it's a big reason why there's so 161 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: much general unhappy happy in this country. And it's not 162 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: a coincidence to me that as social media has risen 163 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: in popularity, our national happiness level to the extent that 164 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: you can measure it has collapsed. Yeah, well it's not purpose. 165 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: I mean, social media gives the veneer, you know, the 166 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: sense of connectivity for a lot of people, but it 167 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: can actually replace real human contact with the people who 168 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: actually matter in your circle of human beings around you. Right, So, 169 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: the social media dynamics I think of the current moment 170 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: are are troubling. And also that this has never existed before. 171 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: You know, you could often look back. You can look 172 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: at different challenges that society faces with political movements or 173 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: with you know, religious or anti religious groups or whatever 174 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: it may be, and say, there are some analogies here. 175 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: There are some there are some places you can turn 176 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: for the wisdom in the past. There is no real 177 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: wisdom about how we should integrate twenty four seven connectivity 178 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: and the ability to reach millions of people with even 179 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: the most fleeting thought oftentimes, you know, can be in 180 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: a bad way for people too. You can read Plato 181 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: all day, but it's not really gonna tell you. Well, 182 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: actually it'll tell you essential things that social media won't, 183 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: which is the point really, but it's certainly not going 184 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: to tell you how to navigate social media. You have 185 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: to just sort of block this noise out. This is 186 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: why Buck, I love going to college football games so much, 187 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: because I like being out in public. It's easy to 188 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: stay in a bubble, right, You can get on your phone, 189 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: you can just put on television networks whatever you want 190 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: to watch. You can interact with whatever limited circle you 191 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: might have. I love just being out in a crowd 192 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: of one hundred thousand people going to a game and 193 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: being enmeshed in the real world interactions every single weekend, 194 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: because I think it helps me to maintain a pulse 195 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: on what the real world is living with. And that's 196 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: why these polls bucked, the last five of them. I 197 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: can feel the red wave cresting, surging, maybe even building 198 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: into something beyond a wave, into a tsunami. Let me 199 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: just hit you with these New York Times came out 200 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: today with this poll, and I'll hit you with some 201 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: of the others a little bit later. In the show 202 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: of a New York Times poll today buck Republicans plus 203 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: four in the congressional race. Pretty significant number, you might say, 204 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: forty nine forty five. That doesn't no, no. If the 205 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: Republicans win nationwide by four, that's a landslide, all right, 206 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: Trump versus Biden head to head right now, Trump, you know, marlogo, 207 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: everything else. Trump's plus one in the New York Times pole. 208 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: If Trump is plus one in the New York Times poll. Again, 209 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: what's the real number. Biden job approval thirty nine percent. 210 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:38,479 Speaker 1: Independence opinion of Joe Biden thirty three percent positive, sixty 211 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: three percent negative. He's minus thirty right now for people 212 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: who don't affiliate with either party and for independence in 213 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: this mid term election, these are people who are not Democrats, 214 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: not Republicans. Right now, Republicans have a plus ten margin. 215 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: This is important, Buck, because all those people that are 216 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 1: making decisions in this next three weeks that haven't really 217 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: decided which way they're going, they're all starting to break Republican. 218 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: And that's why I think we're moving from a discussion 219 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: of a red wave too. I don't think it's crazy 220 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: to think we may see a red tsunami again, just 221 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: sharing the data from the New York Times CNA poll 222 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: that came out in the last twenty four hours. For 223 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: a long time, they've been trying to say, Oh, there's 224 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: not gonna be much of a red wave. Oh, maybe 225 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: Democrats are gonna gain. No, this is going to be 226 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 1: I think before I hope I'm right, But based on 227 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: the data and the trend lines, it's going to be 228 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: a red tsunami. If not now, when, yeah, you know, 229 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: given what we're seeing when you look at the failures, 230 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: the failures of the Democrat apparatus, and we can expand 231 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: it even beyond Biden on COVID, on the economy, on 232 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: the border, on crime, on schools, the closing of them, 233 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: on schools, the teaching of children, you know, this transgender 234 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: ideology at a very young age, drag Queen story hour 235 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: for five year olds. I mean, all this stuff, all 236 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: these things you see going on, you said, and competing 237 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: against women in sports, and you're just going on this list. 238 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: If we can't win a huge election, right now, what 239 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: do the Democrats actually have to do? Yeah, you know 240 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: what you wonder at some point we can they just 241 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: get away with absolutely anything? I mean, is this country 242 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: essentially lost to the people that are brainwashed? I mean, 243 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: I hope not, and I think not to your point 244 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: of where the polls are. But if not, Now, my friends, 245 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: when one of the problems we see is a lot 246 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: of Democrats they just are lacking the oomph they need 247 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: this Biden White House, lack of the testosterone they need. 248 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: Let's be honest, you know, there's a lot of a 249 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: lot of cringing and ringing of hands, and what am 250 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: I gonna do.

Despite the fact that now 276 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: only the true Fauciites are still wearing masks. I mean 277 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: people for whom this is just an issue of being 278 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: emotionally crippled by Faucism over a long period of time, 279 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: two plus years now going on three years. Speaking of Fauci, 280 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: he says, just to remind everybody keeps turning, he says, 281 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: he had nothing to do with the school shutdowns. That 282 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: you know, he's just he's just like an advisor, man like, 283 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't actually make any decisions. He had no power. 284 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: This is the game I knew he'd play all along. 285 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: Democrats handed power to Fauci so they could say we're 286 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: not shutting things down, and then when everything goes bad, 287 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: Fauci says, oh, I wasn't in charge. It was the 288 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: Democrats elected officials. That way, nobody ever gets blamed for anything. 289 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: This is the game they play, evading accountability. But that's 290 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: where we come in. Here is Fauci just on the 291 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: issue of school closures, saying the following play. There has 292 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: been conflicting advice to Americans this week in different states 293 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: about whether schools should be closed or open daycare centers. 294 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: What is your best advice on that right now? You 295 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: know it really varies from location to location, and you 296 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: want to listen to the local state and local health authorities. 297 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: But you also would hope that they are looking at 298 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: the guidelines that are coming from the federal level, because 299 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: they're only guidelines. They say you should, they don't say 300 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: you must, but they should at least be looked at. 301 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: So clearly, in certain circumstances, particularly in areas where this 302 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: community spread, the schools should be closed. The school should 303 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: be closed. I know that he did this whole thing 304 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: as preamble play there about well, look at he was 305 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: writing the guidelines, that's right. So he's the one who's 306 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: saying arbitrary numbers A five percent of people are getting 307 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: a level three sniffle from COVID in the schools. He's 308 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: the one who was saying that. And this is this 309 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: is a big deal because this is the first, I 310 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: would say, foundational element of our COVID response that almost 311 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: everybody now acknowledges was one hundred percent wrong, and slowly 312 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: it's spreading beyond this. But the idea to shut schools down, 313 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: there's almost no one out there still arguing that they 314 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: were ever in favor of it. This is how the 315 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: narrative shifts. Everybody says, well, if we had known no, no, 316 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: there were a lot of people like me and Buck 317 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: and a lot of you out there listening right now 318 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: who were fighting publicly for your schools to stay open 319 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: and for your kids to be able to go in person. 320 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: And we were all called grandma killers, and the mob 321 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: came after us every single day. And now people are saying, well, 322 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: you know, we never really said that, and they're lying. 323 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: They're lying to you. Friends, Well, you'll be ready if 324 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: the unthinkable happens. The unthinkable in this case is a 325 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: serious food shortage, one that starts overseas and eventually reaches 326 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: our stores and markets. As hard as it might be 327 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: to think about this right now, just consider the out 328 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: of the ordinary shortages we've seen the past year or so. 329 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: I mean, look at baby formula shortages, for example. It's 330 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: a smart idea to have emergency food on hand, especially 331 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: if you haven't done so already. You got to go 332 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: to Prepare with Clay and Buck dot com. You'll save 333 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty dollars off a three month emergency 334 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: food kit from my Patriots Supply.

I've been talking about the building wave that 344 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: I think may turn into a tsunami New York Times 345 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: poll that I shared with you to start the show. 346 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: Republicans now with a four point lead in this poll, 347 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: but I'm reading online independent women voters. Probably some independent 348 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: women voters out there listening to Clay and Buck right 349 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: now because they're desperate for sanity in an insane world. 350 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: We welcome you. They were backing Democrats by fourteen points 351 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: in September. According to this latest New York Times poll. 352 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: This is New York Times one pole in September, one 353 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: pole in October. They now back Republicans by eighteen points. 354 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: That is a thirty two point shift in the space 355 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: of one month. Now, I think probably what it shows, Bucket. 356 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: I know all of you out there listening right now, 357 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: all of us in the wake of twenty sixteen Trump's win, 358 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: are skeptical of polls in general. But if polls have 359 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: traditionally been and it's fair to say that they have 360 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: been a raid in a way that Republicans are under accounted, 361 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: think about what might happen if Republicans are now ahead 362 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 1: in many of these polls. And we know, I mean, 363 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: you knew, buck I know a lot of people who 364 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: just say, hey, I get a telephone call somebody asking 365 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: me what I think about politics. The last thing I 366 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: want to do is share any info with them. I 367 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 1: still think it makes it hard to get Republican voters 368 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: to even participate in polls in the first place. But 369 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: that's why I think these trend lines. Let me hit 370 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: you with these two, buck last five New York Times 371 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: Republicans plus four, Harvard Harris Poll Republicans plus six, Rasmussen 372 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: Republicans plus seven, CBS Republicans plus two, Trefogar Republicans plus five. 373 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: Those are the last five major polls, and they're kind 374 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: of telling you all of the same trend as we 375 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: sit here twenty two days out from the actual election. Yeah. Well, 376 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: I said, if it's not going to happen, now, when 377 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: is it going to happen? If the Democrats had you 378 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: know that we talked about at the top of the show, 379 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 1: Clay the Harvard Harris poll and the top issues, and 380 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: how Republicans are considered to be aligned at least focused 381 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: on the top issues Democrats are focused on January six, 382 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 1: abortion and then it gets then it goes into crazy 383 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: town like climate change. Election integrity, which is just another 384 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: version of our democracy is under threatened. All this stuff 385 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: that they're they're throwing our way. If they had things 386 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: to point to to say we did the following this 387 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: has made Americans' lives better, it would be blanketing the airwaves. 388 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not that stupid. If they had good arguments, 389 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: you'd begin to hear them. Even if they had arguments 390 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: that weren't fair and honest, but at least we're effective 391 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: on the merits they are trying to win an election. 392 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: It's a what is it when you when you when 393 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: the facts? You know this lawyer man, When you have 394 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: the facts, you pound the facts. When you have when 395 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: you have the law, you pound the law. When you 396 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: when you have neither, you just pound the table, right, 397 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: Isn't that basically the You know every lawyer out there, 398 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: buck has been in a situation where you ain't got 399 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: the facts and you ain't got the law on your 400 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: side and had to pound the table every now and then, 401 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: because that's that's a time you get paid to be 402 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: an advocate. But sometimes you look at it and you're like, boy, 403 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: this ain't a great advocate position. Every lawyer has been 404 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: when Frank the tank in old school loses it in 405 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: the locker room out jumping through the flaming hoop and 406 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: he's like, you gotta keep your composure, and he's throwing 407 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: the chair around. Democrats at this phase are whacking the 408 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: chair around the locker room. You're like, put January six, 409 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: you gotta just focus on January six.

When Will Ferrell is initial the 416 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 1: big party, Yeah, the big party, and one of the 417 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: guys is like, hey, you wanna you know, you want 418 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: to you know, do a do a I guess it's 419 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: like a yeah, that's right, you want to do the 420 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: beer ball?

We got a big Saturday plan because 423 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if we got enough time. You might 424 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: go to bed, bath and beyond. I don't know if 425 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna have enough time. And the guy just looks 426 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: at him and then thinks he's making a joke and 427 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: starts to laugh and he just takes the beer ball. 428 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: That line is I think absolutely amazing. I was actually 429 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: thinking about it when you were texting me over the weekend. 430 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, we gotta get to target. I was like, hey, 431 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: Bucks getting married we can trip to Target. He's ready 432 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: to roll. Man, that movie is so good it is 433 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: it is fantastic for what it is. And then, uh, 434 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: it's kind of like our generations Animal House. Yeah, I 435 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: think watch Animal House. It would be considered very, very 436 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: problematic by today's Every funny movie that you have watched 437 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: in the last forty years is almost unacceptable by today's comedy. So, 438 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 1: when was the last time you saw something that came out, 439 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: not including stand up comedy specials, and even those generally 440 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: are terrible these days, there are some that are good. 441 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: When was the last time you saw a movie that 442 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: was a comedy, not like funny for kids Pixar stuff, 443 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: but like a funny movie for adults. Such a good 444 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: question where you said this is like, I mean, I 445 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: remember going to see movies in the theater, like there's 446 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: something about Mary and Dumb and Dummer Yeah, and laughing 447 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: so hard that like like actual ribs were getting sore 448 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: kind of you know, your your rib cage was getting 449 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: sore from it. I haven't had that experience with anything 450 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: that we've seen in a very long time. It's it's 451 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: a good question because I'm thinking the last couple of 452 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: movies that I'm and it's been a long time now. 453 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: That really made me laugh in a theater again, not 454 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: on streaming, not a stand up comedy special something like that. 455 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: And I don't know when these movies came out now, 456 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: The Hangover, the Hangover, the First Hangover was a Legitimately, 457 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: I think that might be the most successful rated art 458 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: comedy of all time. I think it might be Yea 459 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: and then uh, super Bad, um, which is just I mean, 460 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: that movie is absolutely hysterical. But I'm probably dating myself. Well, 461 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: when did it Hangover and Super Bad come out? Like 462 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: at least three fourteen years ago? We're talking about It's 463 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: been a little while. So yeah, the look, the woke 464 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: libs have basically destroyed comedy. I mean they've tried. They're 465 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: trying to destroy sports. But I'm fighting as many I 466 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: understand people out there who are done with sports. I 467 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,239 Speaker 1: can't give up sports. I'm trying to fight on the 468 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: inside to make sports something that everybody can enjoy still, 469 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: and that's not overtaken by woke imbeciles. But I understand 470 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 1: why so many people actually are are fed up and 471 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 1: can't do it. I totally understand. So back to uh, 472 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, We've had some digressions today as one as 473 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: one does back to where we are in this election cycle. 474 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,120 Speaker 1: I think things are lining up in a really good way. 475 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: I do think that it'll be fascinating. The Usually I 476 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: feel like you have a midterm election and then there's 477 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: this pause, and we've we've talked about this a little bit. 478 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: There's this pause after the mid term where, well, one 479 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: side is obviously happy, the other side, you know, if 480 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: they lost seats, they lost control of the House of 481 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: the Senate, they're upset. Yeah, of course that's to be expected. 482 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: But then there's the all right, maybe we got a 483 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: little while here before we really start the before we 484 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: start dialing into who is going to be effectively the 485 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: leader of the Republican Party, who's going to be the 486 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: leader of the Democrat Party. We're going to be in 487 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: a presidential election, certainly by January of twenty twenty three, 488 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: but really I think November after this election, the morning 489 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: after whenever the Democrat ballots stopped coming in getting counted buck, 490 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: So maybe it'll be November twelve, But as soon as 491 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 1: the final tallies are in, we're gonna be on And 492 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have such a big rate way 493 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: that even if there's all sorts of shenanigans going on, 494 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: I think Republicans are going to win. But I think 495 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: it's starting almost instantaneously as soon as the midterms are over. 496 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: And look, it matters, right, I mean, this is we 497 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: sit here, we talk about political back and forth and 498 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: which parties in power. This is not just horse race stuff. 499 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 1: This isn't just well, it's interesting and it's a it's 500 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 1: an intellectual digression or diversion. This is whether or not 501 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: you can pay your bills, folks, and you all know this. 502 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: This is whether or not your job, your industry is 503 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: going to be able to continue on, perhaps even be 504 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: around in six, twelve, eighteen months time. I mean, this 505 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: stuff matters. We talk about nuclear war, we talk about 506 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: what's going on in Ukraine. All of this put together 507 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: is I think right now people seeing a moment in 508 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: time where the wrong people making the decisions has an 509 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: impact on your life in a way that you cannot 510 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: you ignore at your peril. So we're you know, you're 511 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: in this one way or the other. You can either 512 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: be proactive or get pulled into it. But we're all 513 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: in this fight. We are and as a sign of desperation. 514 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: We got a fun clip for you when we come back. 515 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: You're not gonna believe who Charlie Christ.

You won't believe who Charlie Christ 520 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: says he resembles in this race.

He was a backup for Bledsoe and Buffalo right. 557 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: Wasn't that where he started out and Bledsoe got injured? 558 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: Is that right? And then he came in? Am I am? 559 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: I off? This might be worse than the Cleveland Indians. Move. 560 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: You didn't get tom Brady's team right, But New England Patriots, 561 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: you're right about them. I thought he started with Buffalo 562 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: Bills and then went to the Patriots. No, not bad? Okay, wait, 563 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: but was Bledsoe right? Got the bledsoew bright correct, which 564 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: is so much more complicated than what team Tom Brady 565 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: was on, and one of the two bowls with all right, 566 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: I was close anyway. Whatever, It's like Laura A learning 567 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: the foreign language here with the with the professional sports, 568 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get better at it than time point B. 569 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: I think that's always so interesting because you know you 570 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: need to get lucky as well, go to have opportunity talent. 571 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: You gotta have the machinery around you to even try. 572 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: Your greatness. Point of her being Tom Grady, Tom Grady, 573 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: Tom Brady has had a great career. Uh Tom Grady, 574 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure is awesome too. Wherever he is a cross 575 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: Scott sounds like a really good name for a cook. 576 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: Maybe a barbecue guy, Tom Grady barbecue. Yeah. Um. But 577 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: I'll say this, Uh, Charlie Crist is not the Tom 578 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: Brady of politics, but he thinks of himself in similar terms. 579 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: This is just breaking Clay shared it. It's up on 580 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: OutKick he ego. This is back in June. Charlie Crist 581 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: who has run. I mean he's run as a Democrat, 582 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: as a Republican, as an independent. I'm waiting to see 583 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: him when he comes out Green Party, Tory, Reform Party, 584 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: connessed Doomah. He's gonna run every He's running for everything everywhere. 585 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 1: Here is Charlie Chris saying he's like you know Tom Brady, 586 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: but in politics, Bay in twenty sixteen won election to Jeniers. 587 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: It was just like you know, Tom Brady. He hadn't 588 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: won a super Bowl and Teniers. But if you don't 589 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: give up, if you stick with it, if you do 590 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: what you know is right, and you believe in God, 591 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: you stay on the theater, especially if you think you 592 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: can do it. Just he's just like he's like the 593 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: Tom Brady of politics. MS. There you go. If if 594 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: he was horrible and lost a lot in what a 595 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: ridiculous analogy. And I just I just want all of 596 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: you to understand, twenty two days out to you continue 597 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 1: the sports analogy, there's gonna be a lot of Hell Mary's. 598 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of Democrat candidates that are floundering, 599 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: that are flailing, that are aware, are aware of how 600 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: bad the numbers are out there for them, and they 601 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 1: are going to be desperate. I mean, this is what 602 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: I think is happening in Georgia right now. They tried 603 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: to destroy herschel Walker and finally just said, hey, we're 604 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: gonna just go straight personal life. It has nothing to 605 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: do with his fitness for office. This is what they do. 606 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: And I kind of expect on some level for this 607 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,719 Speaker 1: to be the template everywhere. You guys know, look what 608 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: did they do when Rush was out here dominating on 609 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: his show. They went after his personal life. They didn't 610 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: even argue about his political beliefs. They just came after 611 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 1: him personally and said, you're fat, you're you know, you're 612 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: not very good looking. Well, what do we care when 613 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 1: you're when you're right on the issues. Ultimately, you get 614 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: so desperate that you just go after people's physical opinions. 615 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: You go after their personal choices in their life, which 616 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with what their policies in office. 617 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 1: And this is why I always say, you know, if 618 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 1: I need an open heart surgery, I really want to 619 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: be a good dad. I really want to be a 620 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: good husband. It's important to me. But if I had 621 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: an open heart surgery, and I think our country is 622 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: basically buck in a situation where we need open heart surgery, 623 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: we are not a healthy nation. I don't really care 624 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: about anything other than is this doctor the best option 625 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: that I have to solve this serious issue in my life. 626 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: I don't really need to know anything other than their 627 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: skill when it comes to what they can do politically. 628 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: And I feel like Democrats are are caught now. They 629 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 1: don't have good options and this ridiculous Tom Brady comparison 630 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: going after personal lives. Just get ready for it. In 631 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: the next twenty two days, it is going to be 632 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: nasty on a level that we have not seen very 633 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 1: often an American politics. Democrats, socialists, communists, they all have 634 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: this in common. They always want to be judged by 635 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: their intentions, not their results. And you're seeing that in 636 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: this election. It's really true because the mentality the psychology 637 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,839 Speaker 1: of people that are of those political beliefs, which all 638 00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: have a lot in common with each other, and in fact, 639 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: much more in common than they do in terms of 640 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: differences with each other. But they say, just give us 641 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 1: more time and more power and eventually things will get better. 642 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: And it's always a question of how many people will 643 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,240 Speaker 1: wake up in time and figure out No, their ideas 644 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,920 Speaker 1: just suck and they're bad at this. And that's what 645 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 1: this election is. Democrats, their ideology, what they push for, 646 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 1: it's bad for the country. The results are in. The 647 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,960 Speaker 1: results suck. It's time to move on to something else. 648 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: That's that's it. I mean, you know, you consider how 649 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: we can talk about all the intricacies, and we do, 650 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, they haven't made 651 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: people's lives better. They've made Americans lives more difficult, less 652 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: they men as poorer as a country. And for what 653 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 1: what's the benefit? And buck, I think this is one 654 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: of the big legacies of Trump, no matter what happens 655 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: with him going forward. One he fought, but two he 656 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: really did break left wing media establishments. So that many 657 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 1: of you out there listening right now understand how dishonest 658 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: these personal attacks are.
