1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 2: Second hour of Clay and Buck starts right now. And 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 2: the campus protest, Let's take a look at the latest 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 2: with hoes the Biden base out on college campuses, and 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 2: this is still ongoing. There are now, I think a 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: lot of people who are wondering, will they try to 8 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 2: disrupt graduation ceremony even if they have been cleared out? Also, 9 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 2: will they do anything at the Chicago DNC, the Democratic 10 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: National Convention, which will be this summer. Certainly possible and 11 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 2: that would harken back to sixty eight and I think 12 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 2: that would be a bad look for the Democrats, but 13 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: who knows. And then there's some other feelings play that 14 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: I wanted to get into here or some sense of 15 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: what's happening from those who were watching this whole thing playff. 16 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: First of all, as I mentioned, the situation with the 17 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: Israel Hamas war, is Israel is poised to go into 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 2: Rafa and it's the last bast in the last holdout 19 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: area of Hamas in the very southern portion of Gaza, 20 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: and there's concern. Now I think there are negotiations that 21 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 2: are happening and there's a lot of politics about this. 22 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: Keep in mind, Hamas could have ended this a long 23 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: time ago. Amas could have stopped all of this. Hamas 24 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: chooses not to stop it. Hamas still has hostages. There 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: are many questions, for a tragic how many of those hostages, 26 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 2: including there are some Americans held hostage, are still alive. 27 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: I think we're going to find that the answer to 28 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: that is tragically far lower than would be expected if 29 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: Hamas was not run by barbarous, violent thugs, which it is. 30 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 2: And so that's all ongoing in the background. The Biden administration. 31 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: There's now back and forth over whether they delayed this 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: arm shipment of the Israelis intentionally or not. It certainly 33 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: looked like some kind of a win for the protesters. Okay, 34 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: now we'll get to the other part of this, which 35 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: is that there are a lot of as much as 36 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 2: we focus on the crazy Bolsheviks of higher education, and 37 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: there's a lot of that going on. You know, there's 38 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: an Axios poll clet that just came out that had 39 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: the following numbers, and I think it's a reminder that 40 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: while there's far too much craziness on the campus and 41 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 2: the professors are overwhelmingly nuts. 42 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: Not all. 43 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: There's some great conservative professors, and there's some great campuses 44 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: with nothing but conservative professors, right, I mean, Clay, you've 45 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: spoke to Hillsdale recently. But the overwhelming majority of professors, 46 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: certainly in the liberal arts, are nuts and and go 47 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: along with this stuff and are a part of you know, 48 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: BLM and pro hamas Er, you know, down with Israel 49 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: and all this, all this stuff, all the stuff that 50 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: goes together, climate change, all this Trump is going to 51 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,119 Speaker 2: destroy the world. But there are a lot of normal 52 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: people on campus still, or at least more normal. Sixty 53 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: seven percent, according to the Saxio's poll, say occupying campus 54 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: buildings is unacceptable. Ninety percent say blocking pro Israel students 55 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: from parts of campus is unacceptable fifty eight percent majority. 56 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: But I think it should be bigger, say refusing a 57 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 2: university's order to disperse is unacceptable. That number should be higher. 58 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 2: But when you have almost seventy percent recognizing that the 59 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 2: occupation of buildings is just you can't do that, and 60 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: ninety percent saying you can't tell Jewish students you're not 61 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: welcome in this part of campus. 62 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 4: How about ten percent of people are okay with telling 63 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 4: Jewish students you're not welcome in this part of campus. 64 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 4: That actually seems a little bit alarming to me. And 65 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 4: one hundred percent of them are voting Democrats, just so, 66 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 4: I mean, this is this is entirely I mean that's 67 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 4: like ninety percent is good. But like restricting anybody based 68 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: on their ethnicity, or their gender or their sexuality to 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: be able to walk through campus, that's a little bit 70 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 4: ominous to me, and I think speaks to that ten 71 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 4: percent base that's out there that's doing this. 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: But some of that is encouraging, as you're laying out. 73 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: So this is. 74 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 2: Mario Torres speaking. He is a custodian at janitor. I mean, 75 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: I think janitor is an entirely honorable profession. I don't 76 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: know why we have to play custodian. Jenner is the 77 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: same thing. Janitor as every bit as honorable profession as custodian, 78 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 2: et cetera. But fine, I'll use the term custodian just 79 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: you know, I think it's a little unnecessary. But the 80 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: Columbia University custodian Mario Torres saying that the school should 81 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: have done more to protect them, and that the school 82 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 2: really Columbia University was kind of asleep at the wheel 83 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: for this whole thing. 84 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: Play one. 85 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 5: Is Columbia going to retaliate and find a recent to 86 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 5: fire me? Is someone going to come atter me? We 87 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 5: are taking a big risk, you know, doing this. But 88 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 5: I think that I think that they failed, They failed us, 89 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 5: and I think that's that's that's the bigger story. 90 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 6: They failed us. 91 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 5: They should have done more to protect us, and they 92 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 5: did it. 93 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: They absolutely didn't Clay. 94 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 2: There are people in this process who have been treated 95 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 2: as this is unfolded really badly, and there's all this. 96 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 7: Concern of, oh, well, what about are we being too 97 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 7: harsh with the protesters, and you know, what about the 98 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 7: people who have been you know, under lunatic threat from 99 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 7: the occupations that are happening, or the people that wanted 100 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 7: to just go to class and they've paid money to 101 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 7: be there and they want to have a normal experience 102 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 7: at the end of their school year. 103 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: Like there are a lot of victims here. The protesters 104 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: are not victims. They've created this whole thing themselves. 105 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 4: And really there seems to be this idea. I'm sure 106 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 4: you saw that UCLA has gone remote all week because 107 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 4: people aren't able to move around on campus freely and safely. GW, 108 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 4: which is where I went in Washington, d C, has 109 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: been begging for the Metro police in d C to 110 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 4: come and clean up the protesters, but the mayor of DC, 111 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 4: Muriel Bowser, will not allow it to occur. All of 112 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 4: this is chaotic. The question is at this point, I 113 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:28,679 Speaker 4: think will it occur around the Democrat National Convention in 114 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: August in Chicago? 115 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: Because if it does, and I. 116 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 4: Think you said, you're you're not optimistic or maybe optimistic 117 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 4: or a word, but you're you're not of the belief 118 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 4: that it will because you think Democrats altern it. 119 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: Can I tell you why I think that is? Yeah, 120 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 2: because I think that these are these are useful idiots. 121 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: And remember there's many tiers, as many layers here. You 122 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: have the useful idiots who are you know, a junior 123 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: at Columbia or you know, a senior at GW or whatever, 124 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: and they actually believe that this has some merit and 125 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 2: they're the good guys here. But there's also the professional 126 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: agitators and protesters who have been in the mix. We 127 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: know this because they've been arrested. We have their mugshots 128 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: and they're like, you know, they're in their fifties. They're 129 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: like retirees who are showing up to protest this. I mean, 130 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: it's clear they're not undergrads. And what you have, I 131 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: think is going to be the Soros funded left is 132 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: going to recognize that trying to foment these protests at 133 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: the DNC is problematic, is not helping the cause ultimately, 134 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: because Biden will either either give them the policies they 135 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: want or bend the knee if enough pressure is on 136 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: him to be a leftist, so they want him to 137 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: be president. They do not want Donald Trump to be president. 138 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: So that's what they show up at Milwaukee. Where will 139 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: be that might, yes, that I could see for sure, 140 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: but I mean I assume that Trump it's tough to gauge. 141 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: Like obviously they'll be lunatics protesting Trump all over the place. 142 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: I don't know if it'll be enough to make a mess, 143 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: and actually it'll be a bad look. I think it'll 144 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: be a bad look for them if it gets out 145 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: of hand and if they're just standing there with here's 146 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: the thing, the reason they do all this childish nonsense 147 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: with the encampments and the occupying buildings, and we refuse 148 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: to leave and all this is because if they were 149 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: just standing around channing slogans, nobody cares. You're a bunch 150 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: of imbeciles. You're not convincing anyone of anything. So that's 151 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: why they do these things. It's like lying down in 152 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: the street to make you, you know, three hours late for 153 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: work because the highways block like. These people have no 154 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: good arguments, so they inflict themselves upon the normal people. 155 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 4: I wonder if they're able to turn this off. They 156 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 4: dialed up the crazy to such an extent. I think 157 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 4: what they want to do is jump this energy into 158 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 4: BLM again. I think if you could go into their 159 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 4: sort of hive mind, what they're hoping for is the 160 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 4: energy that they've unlocked with the Hamas protests and the 161 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 4: anti Israel protest. They hope to be able to combine 162 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 4: it with something BLM related because the BLM protests are 163 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 4: super positive for them. Now here's the challenge in general 164 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 4: with protests, when you're in all of the positions of power, 165 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 4: how does that play with independent voters? Because it's one 166 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 4: thing when you can kind of drag it around as 167 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: a weight on Donald Trump in twenty twenty oh, Look, 168 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 4: the country's falling apart. This is all Donald Trump's fault 169 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 4: when you're in basically control of the entire government. I know, 170 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 4: we got a two or three seat majority in the House, 171 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 4: Republicans do, but basically you've got Democrats in the Senate. 172 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 4: You've got complete control in the White House. Right now, 173 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 4: Does it work against Joe Biden if there's any kind 174 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 4: of unrest, even if it's motivated like BLM was by 175 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 4: the George Floyd related incident, I don't know how that 176 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: plays if you're in the White House. 177 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends on what the issue is and how 178 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: they're going about it. Remember, Uh, while all the BLM 179 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 2: BLM two point zero stuff was happening, obviously Trump was president, 180 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 2: and so there was this implicit Oh, the the racist 181 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 2: Donald Trump president is in office. And so that's why 182 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: one cop put a knee on the shoulder of you know, 183 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: like it's Trump's fault somehow. What happened in Minnesota with 184 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 2: with one cop actually was, you know, unfortunately they threw 185 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: the other cop in prison to the one who's just there. 186 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it was it was total injustice. 187 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: By the way, these officers, none of them wanted to 188 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: hurt anybody. Uh, the idea that they should that one 189 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: what's his name got like Chauvin got like twenty years 190 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: or something. 191 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it. 192 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: They were absolutely just handed over to the mob. It 193 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 2: was wrong. It was mob justice. And now I think 194 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: we're allowed to actually finally talk about what's gone on there. 195 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: Maybe that's been the case for a while, but Clay, 196 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 2: I think that it even if they mobilize and Biden 197 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: is in power, the problem is the people who do 198 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 2: not go along with Biden, right, Biden would get so 199 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: much more done. Biden would have achieved so much more 200 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: for the black community, let's say, in America under his tenure. Now, 201 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: the black community, I think knows this is not true, 202 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 2: but the narrative would be Biden would have achieved so 203 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: much if only the Trump Republicans weren't standing in his way. 204 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 2: So anything that they protest is our fault somehow. On 205 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: the Israel issue, it's a little bit more bipartisan, but 206 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: generally speaking, they always have a way to say that 207 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 2: is the fault of the other side, even when they're 208 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: in power, because we should just go along with everything 209 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 2: they want. If we went along with everything they want, 210 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: then there wouldn't be these problems right, But Biden, to 211 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: the earlier point I made, he is losing support among 212 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 2: particularly young blackmail voters, and if Biden does not get 213 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 2: ninety percent plus of the black vote, it's all overh. 214 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: No way he wins. 215 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: So I think that's I think there are encouraging signs 216 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: that the usual Democrat playbook of lies will not res 217 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: and again, encouraging signs. I know who knows what's going 218 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: to happen, but I do see some reason for optimism. 219 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: Look at that, Clay, I'm optimistic. Although the Boy Scouts 220 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: did just change their name. 221 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: Have you seen this? Yeah, I saw that story. 222 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 4: I mean, you saying that you thought there was a 223 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 4: possibility for a not guilty verdict for Trump is maybe 224 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 4: the most optimistic thing I've heard you say it months 225 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 4: I said ten percent shot. 226 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: I think it's that's a pretty high percent. You know. 227 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: I think that that's well. I would have said it 228 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: was one until this week. But I think it's such 229 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 2: a debacle. And also it's so clear as they're having 230 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: the Stormy Daniels testimony, that they really just want to 231 00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: humiliate Donald Trump. And if they took the law seriously 232 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: and if this really was about justice, and about our 233 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 2: sacred democracy. They wouldn't have some very sad former porn 234 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 2: star telling tales from twenty years ago about something that 235 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 2: Trump completely denies, but even irrespective of that, certainly not criminal. 236 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: And why are we having this told again in a 237 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: court twenty years later? What is the purpose of this? 238 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 2: They just want to humiliate him, Clay, They hate him 239 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 2: so much that it makes them irrational. That is true 240 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: of the anti Trump Democrats across the board. They lose 241 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: context and it looks like they've lost context and they've 242 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 2: lost their judgment when it comes to all of these 243 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: criminal trials. 244 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that that's the case. 245 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 2: Take some your calls and this also Eric Hovedy, running 246 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 2: for Wisconsin Senate going to join us. I want to 247 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: talk to him about the economy, by an economy, some 248 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: of the very troubling headwinds out there, and basically, and 249 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: people are realizing the government's is taking away your They 250 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 2: don't say it that way, but the government, the Biden administration, 251 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: is spending so much that they are spending your savings 252 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: into oblivion and your paycheck into oblivion. That is happening, 253 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: and that is a way to destroy an economy and 254 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 2: it has destroyed economies historically a very large sophisticated market. 255 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: So we'll talk more about that. 256 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: But you know, my collection of firearms now includes my 257 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: first two guns from Bear Creek Arsenal.

You took over community 361 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: banks you have a background in the private sector. You've 362 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 2: done very well, and so you understand financing. Where where 363 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: you have to be right, you have to see what's 364 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 2: really happening in the economy around you. Governor Santis obviously 365 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: super sharp guy. I wanted you to re act to 366 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 2: what he says about what's been going on with all 367 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: the spending and how it affects Wisconsin, Nights and everybody 368 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 2: across the country. 369 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: Play twelve. 370 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 3: This federal government has borrowed, printed, and spent trillions and 371 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 3: trillions of dollars far beyond what they should have done 372 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 3: over the last many years. We know that when they 373 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 3: were doing it, there were a lot of people saying, 374 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 3: you are going to have inflation. When the Fed was 375 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 3: printing so much money, people were saying, you're going to 376 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 3: have inflation. And that's exactly what's happened. And so that 377 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 3: has been an invisible tax on every American. People are 378 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: paying more for groceries, they're paying more for goods, paying 379 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 3: more for services. 380 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 2: Tell us about this invisible tax that Ron DeSantis is 381 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 2: setting up here. 382 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 6: So let me give you hard numbers behind it. So 383 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 6: Joe Biden spent basically four point seven trillion dollars after 384 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 6: the economy had already come out of COVID. Remember, we 385 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 6: spent about four trillion dollars during the heart of COVID, 386 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 6: so he spent four point seven. Well, when you spend 387 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 6: that amount of money, the Federal Reserve, which is the 388 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 6: bank for the federal government, had to monetize that debt, 389 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 6: and in that process they increase the money supply by 390 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 6: an enormous amount. Well, what is inflation. Inflation is too 391 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 6: much money chasing a fixed amount of goods and services. 392 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 6: So it's the reckless spending that has created this wave 393 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 6: of inflation that has driven up the cost of people's food. 394 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 6: They're gasoline everything that they touch in life. And it 395 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 6: was never transitory. That was just a total misnomer by 396 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 6: Jerome Powell, who runs the FED. So they've been engaging 397 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 6: in voodoo economics and it has cost the American public dearly. 398 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: But there's a video. 399 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 6: Out I don't know if you guys have shown it 400 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 6: or have played it for your listeners where it's Jared Bernstein, 401 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 6: who's spent Biden's chief economic advisor since his vice president's day. 402 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 6: And this guy never was trained in economics, and they're 403 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 6: literally asking them about MMT modern monetary theory, and he 404 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 6: can't even explain the most basic things. And you watch 405 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 6: this and go, yeah, you wonder why we have all 406 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 6: these negative consequences because we have completely incompetent people leading 407 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 6: our government and our government finances. And that's the sad 408 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 6: thing about it. So you talk about an insidious tax, 409 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 6: Inflation is just a back toward tax that whittles away 410 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 6: the standard of living for every American. 411 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,479 Speaker 4: How much difference and better off do you think the 412 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 4: United States would be if everyone representing the United States 413 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 4: was like you and had had to run a successful 414 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 4: business at some point in time. Because what buck Ca 415 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 4: and I talk about sometimes is Joe Biden's been in 416 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 4: government for forty seven or forty eight years, you got 417 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 4: AOC's running around. I don't think they understand basic economics. 418 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 4: And if you don't understand basic economics, you end up 419 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 4: making choices. It feels like that many of our politicians make. 420 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 6: One hundred percent. And look, we have a lot of 421 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 6: that on the Republican side too, And that's why we're 422 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 6: in this position where we have thirty four trillion dollars 423 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 6: in debt, where the interest costs on our debt now 424 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 6: is bigger than any expenditure in the federal government other 425 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 6: than Social Security. It's bigger just the cost of servicing 426 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 6: our debt is bigger than our defense department, and by 427 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 6: the way, in a year, will be bigger than Social Security, 428 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 6: and it's putting Social Security at risk. So you know, 429 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 6: the problem is you have these career politicians. Center Baldwin, 430 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 6: who I'm running against, is one of the most liberal. 431 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 6: Their whole life has been politics thirty eight years, and 432 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 6: it's been in Washington, d C. For coming on twenty 433 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 6: six years. She knows nothing about how the real economy works, 434 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 6: how business works. Think of it this way. She's never 435 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 6: had to buy herself health insurance. She's always had health 436 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 6: insurance offered by whatever government position. I've not only had 437 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 6: to buy health insurance, I've had to buy it for 438 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 6: thousands of people how to manage it. I've seen the 439 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 6: disaster that Obamacare has created. So unless you've had to 440 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 6: deal with these issues and understand these issues and understand economics, 441 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 6: then you've got people sitting in Washington, which sadly we've 442 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 6: had for far too long, that don't know what the 443 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 6: hell they're doing, and they don't understand the consequences of 444 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 6: the decisions they're making. 445 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 2: We're speaking to Eric Hovedy. He's running up in Wisconsin 446 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 2: for a critical Senate seat. He's running against career politician 447 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 2: Tammy Baldwin. And on the issue of the spending and 448 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 2: what it's doing the economy, ICE is certainly going up. 449 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 2: But I saw the statistic and it I found it 450 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: really concerning, Eric, and especially given that they're going to 451 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: try to pull whatever levers they can in the Biden 452 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: White House to make things look better than they are. 453 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: Right they're gonna. 454 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 2: Put lipstick on the pig, so to speak, between now 455 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 2: an election day. Even with that going on, forty three 456 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 2: percent of small businesses couldn't pay their rent in full 457 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 2: because of the economy right now, That was just from Bloomberg. 458 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: What's going on with that? 459 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 6: Look the economic data that's being put out, I'm starting 460 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 6: to really question. I'll give you this one example employment data. 461 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 6: We've never had a time series like this where what 462 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 6: they report for job growth in a given month because 463 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 6: they do it the first Friday of every month, and 464 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 6: then they'll always put in their revision for the prior month. 465 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 6: We've had was at sixteen out of seventeen times they say, oh, 466 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 6: we've created this amount of jobs, and then the next 467 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 6: month they always lower how much jobs they created the 468 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 6: last time. Nor do they tell you that most of 469 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 6: all the jobs that have been created are second time jobs, 470 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 6: not full first time jobs. So if you look at, 471 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 6: you know, underneath the belly, if you look at what's 472 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 6: happening with credit card debt or auto debt and the 473 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 6: default rates that are rising significantly, particularly to those that 474 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 6: are you know, in the lower bottom quarter of you know, 475 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 6: economic earnings, they're being crushed by inflation. And you know, 476 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 6: it's so sad. 477 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:37,719 Speaker 1: I was. 478 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 6: I was with a younger person and this young gal 479 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 6: came up to me and said, I'm working two jobs. 480 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 6: I work all the time, and I'm still having to 481 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 6: live with my parents. And I de thought, how sad. 482 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 6: I mean, clearly she wants to, you know, be standing 483 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 6: on her own two feet, but she can't get ahead, 484 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 6: and she's working hard. It's not somebody just CouchSurfing. So 485 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 6: what they're doing, they've really damaged the American economy and 486 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 6: so many Americans, and on multiple different levels. And again, 487 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 6: look at healthcare, Look at the cost of health care 488 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 6: and the access to healthcare. I really want more Republicans 489 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 6: to start talking about this issue because the consequences of 490 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 6: what Obamacare, what they passed, are all coming home to 491 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 6: roost now with access to care and the cost of care. 492 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 6: So they've created a total mess, and it's time we 493 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 6: get real people that understand how the economy works and 494 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 6: how you know, society works in there, you know, taking over, 495 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 6: because that's what our founding fathers wanted. They wanted citizen legislators, 496 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 6: people that brought expertise, went and served for a term 497 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 6: or two, and then got the heck out of there. Instead, 498 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 6: we've created this career politician political class that's been running Washington. 499 00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 8: D C. 500 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 4: All Right, I got a gift for you. Could be 501 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 4: a good thing, could be a bad thing. Serious, serious question. 502 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 4: I think I asked you about this last time. I'm 503 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 4: coming up now to Madison, Wisconsin. On September fourteenth, Alabama 504 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 4: Crimson Tide is going to be on the road playing 505 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 4: against your beloved Wisconsin Badgers. Should we do I know 506 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 4: you want to watch the game.

West Virginia because Joe Manchin is not running, 586 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 4: is going to be won by Jim Justice, which is 587 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,720 Speaker 4: a Republican seat. That makes it fifty to fifty and obviously, 588 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 4: depending on who the vice president is, a fifty to 589 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 4: fifty tie can be broken by the vice president. So 590 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 4: if Trump were to win, whomever his vice president is 591 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 4: would be able to break that tie. But if you 592 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 4: look at the at the predictive markets, Ohio has recently 593 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 4: joined Montana as now favored to flip back to Republican control. 594 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 4: That would mean fifty two forty eight and the man 595 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 4: we just had on Eric Hubdy. There are winnable races 596 00:33:52,720 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 4: in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, there are a Nevada, at 597 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 4: least five other Republican potential pickups in battleground states, and 598 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 4: there's not really Ted Cruz is in great shape. Rick 599 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 4: Scott is in great shape both in Texas and in Florida. 600 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 4: If you want a reason for optimism and you're maybe 601 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 4: you're just out there and you say, I'm not really 602 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,479 Speaker 4: sold on what's going to happen in the presidential race, 603 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 4: there is a very strong chance now of Republican control 604 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 4: taking back over the Senate. And that's important because it 605 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 4: would be a major check on what Joe Biden, if 606 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 4: you were to be reelected, we're able to be able 607 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 4: to accomplish, And I just don't know that's being talked 608 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 4: about enough. And there's the potential if we really got 609 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,520 Speaker 4: things rolling, to get into a fifty four, fifty five, 610 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 4: fifty six Senate majority for Republicans, which would be a 611 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 4: transformative number relative to where we are right now. So 612 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 4: I just think it's worth keeping in mind buck as 613 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 4: much attention as we all pour into what's going to 614 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 4: be a very close race in those six seven battleground states. 615 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 4: There's a lot of Senate seats at play out there, 616 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 4: and in particular in West Virginia, Montana, and Ohio. Bernie 617 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 4: Marino is in a great space in Ohio. And we 618 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 4: had Sheihi on was it last week? I think right 619 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 4: at the end of the week, who is in really 620 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 4: good space in running a very good race. 621 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 2: Senate is looking good, Senate is looking good. 622 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: House is gonna be a little more challenging. And remember 623 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: there's there's a House. 624 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 2: Majority and like a real House majority, so something we 625 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 2: got to focus on. We want more than a handful 626 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 2: a couple of seats in the majority. But to that end, 627 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 2: we got our friend Ryan Gradusky in the third hour 628 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 2: going to join us play. He has this this whole 629 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 2: paradigm that he has laid out where you look at 630 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,959 Speaker 2: really this election being determined by the Sun Belt versus 631 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 2: the Russ Felt or not as those things in opposition, 632 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 2: but those are the two cohorts, the two battlegrounds, if 633 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 2: you will, where this will be determined how are things 634 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 2: going in one versus how are things going in the other. 635 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 2: So we'll break that down with him, but also look 636 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 2: and see if there's anything from the stormy to look. 637 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 2: Without the stormy testimony, we already know all of this. 638 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 2: It's not only are they acting like spoiled children, Clay, 639 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 2: this whole brag trial isn't even interesting. 640 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 4: You're correct in that all of this has been reported 641 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 4: for years, and I'm actually getting more and more optimistic 642 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 4: We're going to get at least one patriot on that trial. 643 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 4: Blee Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines of truth.
