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 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: I am back in New York City, masked Central compared

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: to where I usually am. Buck and I are in

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: the same studio here as we get ready tomorrow to

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: celebrate the one year anniversary of the program. We appreciate

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us and the big

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: story in twenty twenty two, the Red Way, the tsunami,

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: the overwhelming attack upon the insanity that has been levied

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: by Democrats in this country as a part of the

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: Joe Biden administration. And we've been looking sort of Sherlock

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: holmesy in for clues in all of these all these

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: primaries that are going on. Buck and I want to

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: hit you with some data here. Texas thirty four Congressional

15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: district has been a controlled congressional district for over a

16
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: hundred years. It went for Hillary Clinton by twenty two

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: points in twenty sixteen. In twenty twenty it had swung

18
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: back down to Biden, only winning by four over Trump,

19
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: but the Democrat congressman won by fourteen. It is eighty

20
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: four percent Hispanic. Buck, we got a major sign. Then

21
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: we're not talking about just a red wave, but maybe

22
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: a red tsunami. Myra Flores one by roughly seven points.

23
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: That means in the space of two years a little

24
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: bit less eighteen months, we have had a twenty one

25
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: point swing in Texas thirty four. Wow. I mean, this

26
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: is if this were a representative sample of where we

27
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: might be going. We're talking about seats that nobody been

28
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: considered being in play. Maybe the biggest red wave of

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: all time potentially on the horizon. So there's so much

30
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: about this particular win as well. It's obviously a special election,

31
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: so there's going to have to be another. So we're

32
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: gonna see how durable this in this movement in this

33
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: one congressional district is. In just a matter of months, right,

34
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: We're we're gonna be finding out who is going to

35
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: have two years in the seat at the end of

36
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: this year. But I think it's fascinating that you've got

37
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: with Myra Flores, the wife of a Border Patrol agent.

38
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: I believe the first and correct me if anything, the

39
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: first ever Mexican born member of the United States Congress

40
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Board in Mexico became a US citizen broad here when

41
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: she was a child. I think she may also be

42
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: the first ever female Latina, certainly Republican, but maybe female

43
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: Latina member of Congress period from the state of Texas.

44
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: And as I said, married to a border patrol agent

45
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: and Clay when you see some of what she said

46
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: and now she had she had some solid support, you know,

47
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: at the national level, from the Trump folks, from the

48
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: make America Great crowd. But she said things when she

49
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: was running for this seat, like the Rio Grande Valley.

50
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: I know some people say Rio grand Which way I

51
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: say Rio grand I don't know is that that's the

52
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: American way? Right? Rio grand because it's not great with accident,

53
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: says everybody knows who listens to the show. So I'm

54
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: gonna sound the most American post. Shouldn't we say River

55
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: grand if we're gonna, you know, if it's either it's

56
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: either Rio Grande or River Grand, right, it should anyway?

57
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: But uh well, I'll say Rio grand I'm gonna go

58
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: Clay style here, and it is she said it is

59
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: quote This is from her. Remember, female Latina born in Mexico,

60
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: now US citizen member of Congress. And big congratulations to

61
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: Mira Flores for that. For her defeat of Dan Sanchez,

62
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: she says the valley Rio Grande Valley is under attack

63
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: at the border and not and promise not to let

64
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: chronyism in Washington ruin our communities. So there are two

65
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: things I think that are simultaneously that are really interesting

66
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: to watch play out. On the one hand, you have,

67
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: as we've already discussed, the Hispanic community in America moving

68
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: far toward of the Republican Party. And that's just because rational,

69
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: because the economy, because inflation, because gas prices, and we're saying, great, fantastic,

70
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: you know, this is a great movement, great momentum. But

71
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: in this case, specifically, this is somebody who is saying,

72
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: what the Biden administrations border policies are doing to our

73
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: community is lawless and reckless and unfair. We are overrun

74
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: with drug cartel activity, we are overrun with illegal caravans

75
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: coming through this area. If you look, it's right along

76
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: the southeastern corridor of Texas and the Mexican border. And

77
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: she's just saying what when Republicans usually say, we get, oh,

78
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: that's so racist, you're not allowed to say that, she's saying, no,

79
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: illegal immigration is a big problem. This needs to stop.

80
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: And I think what it also brings home is this

81
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: is a monster swing that has happened really rapidly. And

82
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, remember Buck, earlier this week we were

83
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: talking about, Hey, how are people in New York City

84
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna wake up the morning after the midterms and react?

85
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: They have no idea how the rest of the country feels.

86
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: New York LA And I know we got a lot

87
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: of listeners in both markets, and you guys are behind

88
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: enemy line, so to speak, but you're more connected to

89
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: the middle part of the country, and Democrats have gone

90
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: so far left wing. Elon Musk tweeted, I don't know

91
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: if you saw this, Buck, but I thought it was

92
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: interesting because Elon, it seems to me, is following a

93
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: little bit of the pathway that I followed. He said,

94
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: I voted for Mara Flores, first time I ever voted Republican,

95
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: massive red wave in twenty twenty two. That is what

96
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: Evon Musk said. He, by the way, certainly has moved

97
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: much of his businesses to Texas and Latinos. First of all,

98
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: they reject all this ridiculous latin X talk and all

99
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: this ridiculous woke discussion, but they tend to have normal

100
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: family values, by which I mean they understand that a

101
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: home with a man and a woman raising a child

102
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: is far more successful. They tend to have religious faith backgrounds,

103
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: The family structure is very sound, and they're looking around

104
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: and saying, wait a minute, you're telling me that a

105
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: five year old can change their gender. The Democrats are

106
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: so out of touch, and I think this is emblematic.

107
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: I would encourage Republicans to lean into this because I

108
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: think it's emblematic not just for the Latino population, the

109
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: Hispanic population, but for Asians, for black, white look people

110
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: come to a man Erica because they believe this country

111
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: is incredible, because they are leaving behind places that are

112
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: much worse. And the idea that they're coming to a

113
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: country that Democrats think is awful and racist and the

114
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: worst place in the world to live, which is really

115
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: the Democrat underlying message right now, is fundamentally rejected by

116
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,119
Speaker 1: many of these people. And so this is a shot

117
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: across the bow for Democrats. I don't think they're going

118
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: to respond to it. I don't think they're going to

119
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: understand it, and I think it's symptomatic of what we're

120
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: going to see in less than five months. In a

121
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: red way and to your point about the echo chambers

122
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: in the very blue areas of the country and how

123
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: this is they're setting themselves up. Everyone listening, this is like,

124
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: how could they be surprised? Oh, they're going to be

125
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: surprised by what's coming, the same way that you know

126
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, he couldn't have won. It must have been Russia. Right,

127
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: They're setting themselves up for a shock here. And I

128
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: think one way that you can just line this up

129
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: and see what the message is from the country versus

130
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: what the blue Democrat enclaves are going with. While we're

131
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: seeing this enormous special election win because of what an indicates,

132
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: we know it's one congressional seat, but a lot of

133
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: firsts as we said, which the Democrats media is not anticipated. Yea,

134
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: she had to win over fifty percent. We should also

135
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: mention that they're redrawing this district, so it'll actually get

136
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: more difficult for her in when the new district goes

137
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: into effect, but she could still potentially win it. Again.

138
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: The statement that she made is a monstrously massive one.

139
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: And while that's going on, instead of looking at because

140
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, the Biden White House will not in

141
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: their minds, betray the left wing base by doing anything

142
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: to crack down on illegal activity at the border. They

143
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: just won't do it. They're trying to process it more,

144
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: they're trying to hide it from American people. So while

145
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: this big statement, as you say, has come down about

146
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: this special election, you see the DHS is big, big

147
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: report out of Fox News and credit to I believe

148
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: Bill Mulujin broke it for Fox, DHS is going to

149
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: be disciplining agents involved in the quote migrant whipping fiasco,

150
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: which was already investigated did not happen, meaning no one

151
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: was whipped, They didn't try to whip anybody. It was

152
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: split reins on horseback. And now just to give something

153
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: just to play racial politics, just to play the left

154
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: wing blame game here, and to throw members of law enforcement,

155
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: which is what border patrol are, under the bus. They're

156
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: going to give them some administrative punishment in the next

157
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: few days after they were cleared criminally in the investigation.

158
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: Now they're going to just punish them so they can say, see,

159
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: we throw border patrol under the bus at the first

160
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: sign of problems. That's because the Democrats entire campaign promise

161
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: right now is essentially everything is racist. You question Kareem

162
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: John Pierre and how bad of a job she's doing

163
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: as a spokesperson, it's because she's black and gay. No,

164
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: no, no no, it's because she's bad at her job. The

165
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: entire Biden administration is bad at their job. And Democrats

166
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: their only game plan is to immediately label anything that

167
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: criticizes the decisions that they're making as racist, sexist, transphobic,

168
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: whatever that might be. And it's going to be very

169
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: difficult to make that argument. I mean, it's just why

170
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm so fascinated to think, what are all these people

171
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: waking up in New York and LA on the day

172
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: after the midterms going to say, when minority voters continue

173
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: to overwhelmingly move towards the right side, are they going

174
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: to be, like Larry Elder, the black face of white supremacy,

175
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: or the Hispanic face of white supremacy, the Asian face

176
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: of white supremacy, or is there going to have to

177
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: be a recognition of just how toxic the Democrat brand

178
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: has become? And this is Look, this is how I

179
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: ended up a Republican right. It wasn't that I moved,

180
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: it's that the Democrats lost their mind. Went insane and

181
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm just desperately seeking sanity. And there's a lot of

182
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: mease out there, guys and girls of all different backgrounds

183
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: who were saying I've had enough. And now the big question,

184
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: I think is will the trend that we see about

185
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: Hispanic voters coming out in numbers for the Republican Party

186
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: that are historic. I mean, you haven't. Now this is

187
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: just one little microcosm. But given the polling we see

188
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: across the country and the realities of the economy plus

189
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 1: legal Hispanic voters, Democrats hate to talk about this right

190
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: the same way that what Myra Flores says about the

191
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: lawless border. Mexican board and female Latina now Member of Congress,

192
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Mira Flores, what she says about the border is racist

193
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: when Republicans say it. It'll be interesting to see how

194
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: Democrats try to console themselves if a lot of Hispanic

195
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: voters who do not like all the polling shows this

196
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: too being called Latin X they actually despise it. They

197
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: think it's annoy and condescending and weird and weird, and

198
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: they're right, yes, but it'll be fascinating Democrats try to

199
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: explain how that big move along with I'm sure, a

200
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: lot of the exit polling will show that that illegal immigration,

201
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: especially in Texas Arizona along the border, illegal immigration was

202
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: a major concern for Hispanic voters in the midterm election.

203
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: That will make it difficult for the left to explain

204
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: that it's just all Donald Trump and racism. Oh and

205
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: this would have happened buck in twenty twenty butt four

206
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: COVID right. We saw the early stirrings of this massive

207
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: move from Asians, Black voters, Hispanic voters in the direction

208
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 1: of Republicans, and some people said, well, it's just Donald Trump.

209
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: That was the argument they tried to make. He had

210
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: a unique appeal in South Florida and South Texas. I

211
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: think what you're seeing is it's not only Trump, it's

212
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: the toxicity of Democrat ideas and they were overwhelmingly repudiated

213
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: last night. Lots of results in primary season, but this

214
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: is one that stands out that if I were in

215
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: the DNC, if I was in that Biden White House,

216
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: I'd be having trouble sleeping at night because of that tsunami.

217
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: I don't even think we call it a wave anymore.

218
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: I think it's a big red tsunami that's coming. Verizon

219
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: AT and T T Mobile. They're all charging you too

220
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: much every month. I know because I see Pure Talk

221
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: charging less every month for the same quality of cell

222
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: phone service without all the extras you likely never use.

223
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: My own son is on his Pure Talk phone. He

224
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: loves it. Instead of paying eighty nine dollars a month,

225
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: you could pay just twenty dollars to Pure Talk for

226
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: what you actually need. And if you think it's too

227
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: good to be true, well the coverage really is that good.

228
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: You'll be on America's most reliable five G network. Switching

229
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: is easy. You can keep your same number and your

230
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: same phone. You'll have a quick conversation with their US

231
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: based customer service who will walk you through the steps. Boom.

232
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: You might save six or seven hundred dollars a year

233
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: without any compromise equality. So if you've been on the fence,

234
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: it's time to take the leap start saving money every month.

235
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: Here's how you do it. Grab your cell phones in

236
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: your hand right now, Dial pound two fifty, say Clay

237
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: and buck, and you'll save an additional fifty percent off

238
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: your first month thanks to Pure Talks no risk money

239
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: back guarantee, you won't regret it. Dial pound two fifty.

240
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: That's pound two five zero. Say, Clay and Buck, sign

241
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: up today and you'll save an additional fifty percent your

242
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: first moment. That is sort of the expectation. And I

243
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: think if we look at it even historically, I mean,

244
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: who were all predicting quite some time ago, even before

245
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's appropriating, He's got to the point that they

246
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: are the Democrats are going to have a hard time

247
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: because historically that's what happens to the president's party in

248
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: the first internal election. I think that a lot of

249
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: things now have come together to make it even tougher

250
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: terrain for Democrats because of what is happening with inflation.

251
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: You have the CNN full showing about is the number

252
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: one issue with voters, and they prefer Republicans by twenty

253
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: points on that issue. So yes, I think the expectation

254
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: is the Democrats are you not going to have a

255
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: great internal election. I'm not going to have a great

256
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: internal election. That is quite an understatement based on all

257
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: the polls. Welcome back to Clay and Buck. By the way,

258
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: we're here, both of us in NYC. And I think

259
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: that I think there's some This is gonna be fascinating Clay,

260
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: There're gonna be some Democrats who are trying to convince

261
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: their fellow Democrats. Slowly but surely it's gonna be a really,

262
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: really rough November. You know, they don't want to come

263
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: out too much now and say because I don't want

264
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: to be adding to the Republican win and turning sentiment.

265
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: But then there's the other side of this. The view,

266
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: for example, is just like whatever, We're gonna have a

267
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: Kamala Buddha judge ticket and it's gonna be amazing. I

268
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: do think there are plenty of you know, Democrats that

269
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: have tons of verve and energy. I mean, I like

270
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom because he's really pretty to look at, and

271
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: I think he does a great job in California. I

272
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: like Kamala Kamala and Pete Buda. I think that looks great.

273
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: I think really well, I would vote for them. I

274
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: hope this country is ready for something like that. Um.

275
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: I think the brain power alone would would just obliterate

276
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Trump or I love this, right, I mean, please, I

277
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: hope every Democrat listens to them. Death Santis first of all,

278
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: I would put Kamala Harris first of all. The brain

279
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: power argument between Kamala Harris and Rhonda Santis is not

280
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: in our Look, if you told me right now, Clay Travis,

281
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: you can put a you know, like any part of

282
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: the sat any test you want to have, spelling, be

283
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: like any way that you demonstrate that you are more

284
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: intellectually superior than someone else. I would put every spare

285
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: dollar I own on Rhonda Santis against Kamala Harris, just

286
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: just based off look Rhonda Santis. Uh yet, whether you

287
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: like him or not, Yale undergrad Harvard Law buying large

288
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: if you graduate from Harvard Law. Just tossing it out there.

289
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: Buck pretty smart guy, right, He's he's a white guy

290
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: who didn't benefit from legacy of his parents or affirmative action.

291
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: Not a rich guy. Still has twenty one thousand dollars

292
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: in student loans that he's paying enough. If that was fascinating.

293
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: I saw that shared yesterday. He would be if he well,

294
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: just in the political scene in general. He pours guy

295
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: on the planet basically, but basically like an upper middle

296
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: class guy who just happens to be the governor of

297
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: the state of Florida. Yeah, still paying off loans, So

298
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: I would I would love Again. This goes with the

299
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: view being the dumbest people in all of media. You

300
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: are totally tone deaf. And I know there's some pole

301
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: out there because somebody will tweet and say, well, did

302
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: you see the poll that said Kamala Harris will beat

303
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis? Grab this clip? I know we haven't

304
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: on the transcript. We'll think of something crazy I can do.

305
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: Buck If Kamala Harris is the Democrat nominee and she

306
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: were to beat Ron De Santis at any point you know,

307
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: might not be twenty four, might be twenty eight, Who

308
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,080

Speaker 1: we power through the Wednesday edition of the program. I

331
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: got the day of the week correct this time yesterday.

332
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: The stay off happens un right there we go and

333
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: this is something, honestly that we would anticipate that Joe

334
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: Biden might do. And Buck, we talked about the impact

335
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: of Texas thirty four, that congressional district won by Myra

336
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: Flores and how it has to be setting off alarm

337
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: bells everywhere inside of the Democrat Party. I feel like,

338
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: curious what you think about this that if we get

339
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: not just the red wave, but the red tsunami, it

340
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: might just sweep Joe Biden's twenty twenty four electoral chances

341
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: out with it, because he's gonna have to for all

342
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: the talk we're focusing on Trump and who's gonna run

343
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: on the Republican side, Biden's gonna have to give an

344
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: official answer sometime. I would think in early January, after Christmas,

345
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: after New Year's when everybody kind of returns to work,

346
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: and if we get that tsunami, I really think they

347
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: made us as an excuse and just say Joe Biden

348
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: swept out to see and it's time for a new

349
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: generation of leader. If we do the war gaming here

350
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: or the stratigo or what was your what was your

351
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: board game of choice? Play a risk guy. My family,

352
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: my dad was a stockbroker. We got by the way.

353
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: I didn't even mean for this to be a transition.

354
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: Father's Day special. Today we got Clay's dad, we got

355
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: Buck's dad calling in. I will say this. Let me

356
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: just today, I want to temper expectations. My dad has

357
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: no technical ability whatsoever, no email address, doesn't get on

358
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: the internet, has a phone, but it is a flip phone.

359
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: And my mom is currently with my sister and her

360
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: family in South Florida on vacation. So I feel confident

361
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: that your dad is going to be reachable. It would

362
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: not surprise me at all if my dad can't answer

363
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: his flip phone and or if the conversation doesn't work.

364
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: So I just want to temper expectations here. So my

365
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: dad on Friday will be in studio with us. He

366
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: can think a couple of blocks. I'm gonna have to

367
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to like throw a flag and make

368
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: sure YouTube don't start lining up too many sports bets

369
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: right away, because he loves he's into the NFL and

370
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: he's into the you know, is he a Giants or

371
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: a Jets guy? Oh, he's a Giants guy. Yeah, Giants guy.

372
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: Loves also golf, so we can ask him about the

373
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: tour I Tour, the Live Tour, and all the controversy

374
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: with the Saudies. My dad is a monster sports fan.

375
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: I just wanted I just want to temper expectations. Not

376
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: sure that he'll be able to answer his phone and

377
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: actually conduct an interview, and we're gonna be taking questions

378
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 1: for the Dad Yes on Friday. The Dad Hotline if

379
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: you want to call with a question for Clay's dad

380
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: or Buck's dad, which would be my dad, or just

381
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: say a question. Both of them obviously can answer the

382
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: same question. Two one two four four five. This is

383
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: our hot line for Dad Friday. I guess Father's Day Friday.

384
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: Father's Day Friday. Ye, Dad Friday. Two one, two four

385
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: four five, three nine six nine. Again if you want

386
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: to call him in the question for our dads two

387
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: one two four four five three nine six nine. Because

388
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: everyone loved the Mother's Day. Yes, extravaganza that was that

389
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: we had. That was a lot of fun. Um uh

390
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, oh, I was gonna say the So

391
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: my dad was a stockbroker and so his we played

392
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: a lot of Monopoly. Whenever we went off book strategy games,

393
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: we played Monopoly, a monk of strategy game, reel strat,

394
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 1: I mean like risk was a strategy game. So so

395
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: bringing it back to our political strategy game, which is

396
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: kind of what we do on this show, I think

397
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: there's a And now it's funny because you talk about

398
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: consensus as though, well it's the consensus, but as we know,

399
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean consensus was that Donald Trump in twenty fifteen

400
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: had no shot and it was ridiculous, and then he

401
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: crushed everywhere, you know, on the Republican side, the Democrats side.

402
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: So consensus isn't what it used to be in politics,

403
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: but I think it's increasingly forming. Tell me if you

404
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: think you see this too. If Trump runs, Biden runs,

405
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: if for some reason Trump doesn't run, it seems almost

406
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: impossible for Biden to run against a different Republican candidate.

407
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: This is what people are saying. Do you do you

408
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: buy that? Does that make sense to you? I think

409
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: Biden is so far down. I was looking at the polls,

410
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a poll nerd. I was looking at

411
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: him this morning, and there's a new one out of

412
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: Georgia that has Trump up seven points over Biden in Georgia.

413
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: So I don't buy the thesis that Biden would beat

414
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: Trump in twenty twenty four. I think he is so decrepit.

415
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: I think he is so senile. I think he is

416
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: so frankly unable to do the job. And by the way,

417
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: this is what I wanted to hit here, Buck Initially,

418
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: when you and I started having these conversations a year ago,

419
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: what would people say, Oh, that's just a Republican talking point,

420
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: Oh that's those far right lunatics. But what's interesting is,

421
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: and this is why I think Biden's gonna get kicked

422
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: to the curb. CNN has now started to go in

423
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: on Biden, and I want to play these two cuts.

424
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: This is Van Jones. He's asking about Biden's age and stamina. Initially,

425
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: you weren't allowed to bring this up. Now it's not

426
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: even Republicans having this conversation. It's sort of an inner

427
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: family debate with Democrats. Listen to Van Jones here, I

428
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: think everybody is looking very closely. Now. When Biden does well,

429
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: he does really well. That gun speech he gave he

430
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: was perfect it, it was powerful. When he does badly,

431
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: when he stumbles, you get nervous and you wonder is

432
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: it justice stutter, is he tired or something else there?

433
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: And so I think that people are just looking, honestly,

434
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of Democrats were like,

435
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: if this guy's ready to go, we're behind him. But

436
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: if he's not ready to go, he should let us know.

437
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you go ahead. No, I was just

438
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: gonna say when Van Jones is saying, hey, basically, is

439
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: there an age dementia related issue here? That's a big.

440
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: So so so we we will often talk about you know,

441
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: we make fun of Joy Behar for example, because she

442
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: is one of when it comes to politics, one of

443
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: the dumbest people on TV. I disagree with Van Jones

444
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: on a lot. He is sorry. Yeah, he's a sharp guy,

445
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: and he knows where when the Democrat base is moving

446
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: a little bit. He understands that dynamic. And and so

447
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: the fact that he's talking about this, he is very connected.

448
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: You know, he's connected in the in the Biden camp,

449
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: he's connected in the you know, the former Obama camp,

450
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: and so when he's saying this, it means it's real.

451
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: But you know, think about it this way, how how

452
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: do they make that switch. On the one hand, you'd say,

453
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: if if the incumbent president, I guess they'd say it's

454
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,959
Speaker 1: for health reason, they would finally have to admit it's

455
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: for health reasons and say that that's the only reason

456
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: that he's stepping down, not the fact that he's terrible

457
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: at the job. Yeah. And also listen to Don Lemon.

458
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: We know that Don Lemon never has any opinion unless

459
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: it's okay to have that opinion, right, Like he is

460
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: the most follow the herd guy in my experience feeds

461
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: the Democrat audience whatever whatever they want, not taking a

462
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: big step ever out in front. Listen to Don Lemon

463
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: ask this question on CNN about having trouble following him.

464
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: Of course we should be asking that question. First of all,

465
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm a journalist. That's my job is to ask questions,

466
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: and as the person who represents the administration and the president,

467
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: is her job to answer those questions. I would not

468
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: be doing my job if I didn't ask that. I

469
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: do think that as the president of the United States,

470
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: we should know the health history, both physically and mentally

471
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: of the president of the United States. We certainly questioned

472
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: the former president's capabilities and whether or not he should

473
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: have the mental capacity, quite frankly, and the physical capacity

474
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: to be the president of United States, and we did

475
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: it a lot. The reason I asked that question is

476
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: because there are reports that are coming out. There's a

477
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: report in the New York Times about what Democrats are

478
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: saying that they're whispers. And we interview the president, we

479
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: watch him in press conferences, we watch him do interviews

480
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: on He was on Jimmy Kimmel the other night, and

481
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: quite frankly, I had trouble following him. So they used

482
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: to talk about the twenty fifth Amendment under Trump. Yeah right,

483
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: remember that all there were whole new cycles at CNN.

484
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: They would have people they would not even just pseudo

485
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: psychiatrists or people that were Democrat operatives that said they

486
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: had a PhD or whatever, or an MD if you're

487
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: a psychiatrist, but they would also bring on random celebrities

488
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: to diagnose the mental health of Donald Trump when he

489
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: was president. Donald Trump, you and idea. But it's funny,

490
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: Don Lemon. They're saying, I'm a journalist. I'm not a journalist.

491
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: Clay is not a journalist. Don Lemon is not a journalist.

492
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: We are commentators. We have opinions, but we're honest about it.

493
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: CNN lies about it. That's the big difference, and that's

494
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: why CNN is going into some really rough times right

495
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: now and has been for a while. But Donald Trump

496
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: used to do you know, we do three hours of

497
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: radio together a day and podcasts and TV hits. That

498
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: guy would off the cuff do two three hours of

499
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: live content that was infrawling for audiences of tens of

500
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: thousands of people. Can you imagine what would happen if

501
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: you told Joe Biden stand on stage and just entertain this,

502
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, sixty thousand person stadium about politics for three hours.

503
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you actually would have to stop

504
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: and take a nap. I mean, just think about it

505
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: this way, Buck. We were at Marlago with Trump in February.

506
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: He walked in for our interview with just one person

507
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 1: there with him. Usually there's handlers everywhere for a political

508
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: interview of that magnitude, and he talked with us for

509
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: a full hour. You guys were able to hear it,

510
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: and every commercial break he's sitting across from us continuing

511
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: that conversation. You and I are in this New York

512
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: City studio right now. If Joe Biden came in here

513
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: to talk with us for an hour, I question whether

514
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: anybody who listened would believe that he was fit to

515
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: be president of the United States by the end of

516
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: that hour. I just I don't think he's physically and

517
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: mentally capable. And the fact that Don Lemon is pointing

518
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 1: to an interview that the President did with Jimmy Kimmel,

519
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: and he said, quite frankly, I had trouble following him.

520
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: This dude can't even do a softball interview. With a

521
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: late night host. He would finish an interview with US

522
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: for an hour, and almost no one would believe he

523
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: was fit to still be the president of the United States.

524
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: I really believe that. I mean, you've said this so

525
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: many times. The fundamental promise or narrative I should say

526
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden in twenty twenty was everybody panic. Trump

527
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: doesn't care if the whole This is what the Democrats

528
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: were saying, this is what the media apparatus was pushing.

529
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't care if everyone dies from COVID. We're all

530
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: going to die from COVID. Everyone run, you know, run

531
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: for the hills, hide in your basement. Joe Biden didn't

532
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: have to campaign. People didn't really know what does this

533
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: guy stand for, and the media just said Trump is

534
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: basically worse than Hitler. Joe Biden is a cuddly old

535
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: man who you've heard of before. He's been around for

536
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: a long time. You'll have normalcy and unity. That was

537
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 1: a total lie. The Biden White House is now saying

538
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: we need to have tran gender surgery as standard of

539
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: care for children under the age of twelve. Yes, and

540
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: the reason why we put I really believe this. Our

541
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: candidates through such long campaigns is because we want to

542
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: know that they have the mental and physical acuity to

543
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: be able to handle the job. You know this, you

544
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: travel a lot for work. If Joe Biden had had

545
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: during the twenty twenty campaign to constantly get on airplanes,

546
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: fly over across the country, do all these campaign events,

547
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the stamina to be able to do it.

548
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: I really think people would have caught on in twenty twenty. Instead,

549
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: they ran him from the basement. They were able to

550
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: claim that it was because of COVID. I think the

551
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: reality is because he can't do the job. If you're

552
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: dealing with pain every day refuses to go away, you

553
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: need relief Factor created by doctors, perfected by over fifteen

554
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: years of scientific research. Relief Factors one hundred percent drug

555
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: free product made for you. It goes right to the

556
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: source of your pain, which is often inflammation. Doesn't take

557
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: long or cost a lot to figure out if this

558
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: might work for you either just three weeks and twenty bucks.

559
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: In fact, you can take relief Factor three times a

560
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: day breakfast, lunch, and dinner for three weeks and you'll

561
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: know if it feels produces results for you. Soon enough

562
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: or not. We recently heard from David in Pennsylvania. He

563
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: had hit pain. He took the three packets a day

564
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: and he was surprised that, in addition to the hip

565
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: pain going away, so did the discomfort in his shoulder

566
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: and foot. After taking it for a month, he stopped.

567
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: Pain came back, which is why he takes relief Factor

568
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: and the pain has gone away. You can join the

575
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: One of the things we're learning here is that you

576
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: know Hispanic or so called Hispanic activists or people who

577
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: claim to speak for Hispanics and actual Hispanic voters and

578
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: everyday people are not the same thing. You know. Hispanics

579
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: don't want to pay five dollars a gasp, don't want

580
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: violent criminals running the streets. Hispanics don't want schools trying

581
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: to convince their son that he's their daughter that they're

582
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: not in favor of these things, and I think it's

583
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: pronouncing itself by voting against a party that stands or

584
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: is responsible for those kinds of policies. The Democrats could

585
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: be in for a rude awakening in so many ways.

586
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: Obviously we're talking about the midterms. Welcome back to Clay

587
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: and Buck and how it's just a question how bad

588
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: it's going to be for them. It should be. If

589
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: there is any political justice in this world, it should

590
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: be the biggest annihilation, the biggest they deserve, the biggest

591
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: political slapdown of my lifetime, or at least of my

592
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: adult lifetime. You know, I don't remember what it was

593
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: like back in the Reagan era all that well, because

594
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: I was a little kid. But Clay, the activist versus

595
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: everyday Democrat voter separation is something I think we're seeing

596
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: play out in a number of ways that really do

597
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: move the needle or really do effect the way the

598
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: political trajectories going. You, as Marco Rubio just said, Senator

599
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: from Florida, of course, that Hispanic activist groups don't really

600
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: represent their their identity politics, groups that are very much

601
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: acting the same way as others within the left wing

602
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: of the Democrat base. Everyday Hispanic voters, a lot of

603
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: them are obviously Democrats. They Democrats have a big advantage

604
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: in terms of registration of Hispanics are saying, what has

605
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: Biden done for me lately? You even see this, I

606
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: think in uh within members of the of the gay

607
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: community lately, who are saying, and I've talked you about

608
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: this too, who are saying, hold on a second, this

609
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: transactivism for children in schools and through Disney, this is

610
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: not you know, speaking obviously the first person. For their

611
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: speaking first person, this is not my fight as a

612
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: as a gay man, or as a woman who's in

613
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: a same sex marriage, etc. In America, the activists have

614
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: pushed the party so far left on a number of issues.

615
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: I think they're going to realize the Democrat, the Democrat voter,

616
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: not necessarily the Democrat vanguard isn't with them on some

617
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: of these things. I think that is exactly what's going on.

618
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: And this is nothing less than an existential threat to

619
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: the existence of the Democrat Party. I think this is

620
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: big because their entire concept of existence has been as

621
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: America becomes more diverse, as they're more Hispanic, as there

622
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: are a larger minority population than our victory becomes inevitable.

623
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: That's the math that they've tried to put out there.

624
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: Politics often doesn't go as a mathematical equation you would expect,

625
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: because political leaders adjust the calculus along the way. And

626
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: one of the biggest legacies of Trump, which is an

627
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 1: incredible irony, is he probably has expanded the Republican base

628
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: and he may have led the Democrat Party to destroy

629
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: itself because they have become so obsessed with identity politics

630
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: that they think they can tell how you're going to

631
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: vote just by looking at you. And that works to

632
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: a large extent in the black population, although for black men,

633
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: I think it's changing in a hurry. And what we

634
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: should have in America is you look at a white guy,

635
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: you have no idea how he votes. You look at

636
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,959
Speaker 1: a white woman, you have no idea how they vote. Increasingly,

637
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: it's starting to look like that might be the case

638
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: for Hispanic voters as well. And then what do you

639
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: have to do compete on ideas as opposed to on identities.

640
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: And that is where we are headed, that old question politics,

641
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: Have you seen your life get better? The answer for

642
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: I think almost unless you are somebody who is part

643
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: of the hardcore Democrat fringe, unless you know, you work

644
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: for the ACLU, or unless you're a part of you know,

645
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: Plan Parenthood, or are your Hunter Biden or you know,

646
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: or your Hunter Biden. Undiden's life has gotten better with

647
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Hunter Biden's been making that cash. But

648
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: for everybody else, for everybody listening to this, it's it

649
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: just gets worse. I mean, I sit here and I say,

650
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: are we are we missing something? Every day? Class say

651
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: what is the thing that the Democrats point to or

652
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: could point to that we're not talking about. Everything's better?

653
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: And then you realize why there's such an obsession with Trump,

654
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: because that's the old The only thing they delivered on

655
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden is not Donald Trump. And that's not

656
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: enough for anybody who's not suffering from Trump to arrangement syndrome.

657
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: And it certainly wasn't enough for everybody down in South Texas,

658
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: which again, Myra Flores, for those of you out there

659
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: who are just starting to listen, this was I believe,

660
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: a seismic victory or sanity in this country. And it's

661
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: not enough for gas prices either. We're talking about that

662
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: in a second Fleet, Travis and Buck Sexton on the

663
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: front lines of truth. Th
