Senator Holly, First, thanks 12 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: for coming on, and I'm just gonna kind of give 13 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: you a broad question here. Our audience is paying attention 14 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: to this three point five trillion dollar budget. How is 15 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: it going to shake out in your mind? Is there 16 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: any reason to have any faith at all in Kristen 17 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: Cinema or in Joe Mansion to help to cut this back? 18 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: Give us the lay of the land so far as 19 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: you can. Well, thanks for having me. It's great to 20 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: be on and congratulations Clay. I thinks christ in the 21 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: week at the Chat since you're doing great gig here, 22 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: so this is this is awesome. It's great to be 23 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: with you. You know, the three point five trillion is 24 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: a total boondoggle. I mean, let's not mince any words here. 25 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: It's a disaster. It is full of the woke lefty politics. 26 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what this is all about. And of 27 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: course it's fueled by just outrageous pork barrel spending the 28 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: worst kind of stuff like building highways in Canada. Seriously, 29 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: you know, all this ridiculous research on salmon, spawning all 30 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: these giveaways to senators to try to get their votes. 31 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it is really really outrageous stuff. 32 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: So you know what will become of it. I'm afraid 33 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: that the Democrats are really on track here to get 34 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: this thing passed that they only need fifty votes in 35 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: the Senate because of the procedures that they're using to 36 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: do it. So, you know, I think that right now, 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: Republicans have got to be crystal clear that this is 38 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: bad for the country. This is not what the American 39 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: people want. I mean, if this continues on the track 40 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: it's on right now, Clay, nobody's going to be able 41 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: to afford to buy any food to put on their table. 42 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: With the inflation that we're having, there could be able 43 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: to get their car repaired, for heaven's sake. I mean, 44 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: it's outrageous, and the Democrats just want to pour it 45 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: on and pour it on, and in the meantime they 46 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: want to turn the whole country woke. So we've got 47 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: a lot of work to do here, but I think 48 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: we've Republicans got to take a stand, got to be 49 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: clear that this is a disaster, would be a disaster 50 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: for the country, and offer a clear alternative. Hey, Senator Holly, 51 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: it's buck. I just want to know, given that they 52 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: do have this budget reconciliation maneuver to try to get 53 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: through a lot of this stuff, it seems like Republicans 54 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: the best that Republicans in the Senate can do is 55 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: try to raise the flag about which is really what 56 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: we're doing right now, what this is all going to mean. 57 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: How concerns should we be though about some of the 58 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: stuff that's in there in the budget that just no 59 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: reasonable person could think is actually a budgetary measure that 60 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: should be able to be considered through reconciliation. I mean, 61 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm thinking specifically of the amnesty that they're trying to 62 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: get through. I mean, is the Senate parliamentarian rock solid 63 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: on kicking that out or is there a real concern? Oh, 64 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm concerned. I mean, I'm concerned. We should all be concerning. 65 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: People need to be wide awake to this. The Democrats 66 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: are exactly the say buck. They're going to try to 67 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: get amnesty for legal immigrants that's in this bill. They're 68 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: going to absolutely try to jam that in. I fully 69 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: expect they'll try to jam in measures that will take 70 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: away legal protections for cops. You know what I mean 71 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: right now are cops. You look at the assault on 72 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: police officers in this country up fifty percent assault on 73 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: cops over this last year. Of course that's no mistake 74 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: because the left has just declared open season on cops. 75 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: I fully expect that the Democrats will try to get 76 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: in their anti cop measures into this reconciliation bill. Green 77 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: new Deal will be in this bill. So hey, I mean, 78 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: it is their wish list. It is their woke left 79 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: wish list, and it would be terrible for the country. 80 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: So I can just say this, Republicans have got to 81 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: fight this at every turn. I mean, we have got 82 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: Last night, we voted for hours on end. That is 83 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: just the start. We are going to fight this at 84 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: every turn, every inch of the way. And then you 85 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: know what, We're going to give the American people a 86 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: real alternative here and I think that they're going to 87 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: be able to say, listen, this is not what we want. 88 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: And in the year we get to go back to 89 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: the polls and that people can register what they think, 90 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: and boy, that's going to be I think a great 91 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: opportunity for people to weigh in. Talking with Senator Josh 92 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: Allie here from Missouri, Senator, you're trying to get more police. 93 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: You were just talking about the lack of respect for police. 94 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: What are the odds? We know that Corey Bush on 95 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: the House side continues to advocate the defund the police 96 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: is the right idea. I know that some senators are 97 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: now running for the hills. As you mentioned, there is 98 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: an election next year and they are well aware that 99 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: defund the police is toxic with white, Black, Asian, Hispanic, 100 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: all Americans of all different political persuasions. What are the 101 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: chances we get more police on the streets and how 102 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: do you see this political issue playing out going forward? Well, 103 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: you're exactly right, So what the Democrats policies Clay are 104 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: endangering this country. They're endangering our children's. People aren't safe 105 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,679 Speaker 1: in their own home, they're not safe on the streets. 106 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: And there's one group of people as responsible for that. 107 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: It's Joe Biden and the Democrats. And this defund the 108 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: police movement, which they have fully embraced. I mean, that 109 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: is that is their platform. You've got members of Congress 110 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: who are actively pushing at the United States senators who 111 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: are actually pushing it. Joe Biden has basically endorsed it 112 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: by talking about the need to cut back on protections 113 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: for cops, you know, making them more vulnerable and effective 114 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: in it. It's terrible. So you're right. What I think 115 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: we ought to do is go the exact opposite direction. 116 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: I think we need one hundred thousand new cops on 117 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: the streets right now, and we need to give a 118 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: pay raise to every single cop in America. I mean, 119 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: that's what we should be doing. Will that ultimately be 120 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: in the bill that the Democrats pass. I doubt it. 121 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: I mean I highly highly doubt it. I think what 122 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: they want to do is say, oh, oh, we don't 123 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: want to defund the police. We don't want to defund it, 124 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: and then they just switch up the labels and they 125 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: go ahead and they cut the funding they redirected to 126 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: something else. They take away the protections that cops have 127 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: to do their jobs. So it's say one thing, do 128 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: another right now. But I'll tell you this, what has 129 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: become very apparent so these Democrats who are up next year, 130 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: is that their policies are hugely unpopular and they're making 131 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: this country unsafe. And I think the American people they're 132 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: gonna know who's done this, and they're gonna say, listen, 133 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: I want my kids to be able to go to 134 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: school in safety. I want my kids to be able 135 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: to walk down and buy a gallon of milk of 136 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: the store in safety. And right now, in many parts 137 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: of this country that just isn't true. And the Democrat 138 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: policies are to blame. Senator Holly Buck again. And you 139 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: know you mentioned the price that Democrats may pay on 140 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: the issue of police and what they've done with defund 141 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: the police. But I see what's going on to the 142 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: southern border. I've been down there numerous times to see 143 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,919 Speaker 1: with my own eyes exactly what's going on. I have 144 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: contacts in border patrol and Ice who tell me openly 145 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: and in back channel these days that it's the worst 146 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: it has ever been, that the Democrats have no interest 147 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: in stopping the massive flow you're talking about now a 148 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: couple one hundred thousand in the most recent month apprehensions 149 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: got to add tens of thousands of gotaways at our 150 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: southern border. On top of that, thousands and thousands of 151 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: them with confirmed COVID cases. By the way, as they 152 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: are coming across the border, they're trying to not test 153 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: so that we won't really know the full scale of 154 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: COVID cases coming across the border. Senator, I mean, the Democrats, 155 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: how are they gonna is the plan here to try 156 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: to just ram through the ambassy so that they're not 157 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: held to account for the open border, because it feels 158 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: like this has got to be a disaster in the 159 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: making for them in the midterms. Yeah, I would think 160 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: it would be in buck. I think that is their plan. 161 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: I think they want to jam through this amnesty. But 162 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: you know again, I think that this is not going 163 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: to work because the American people are seeing this crisis 164 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: on the border that you've described, and it Israel. They'll 165 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: let me just tell you a little bit more about 166 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: what ICE tells me. What ICE tells me is that 167 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: they are currently not allowed to make arrests of criminals, 168 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: criminal illegal aliens, but now because of the Biden administration, 169 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: if you are an ICE officer and your job is 170 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: to go arrest criminal illegal aliens, you've got to ask 171 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: for permission from your supervisors before you go out and 172 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: make an arrest. Can you imagine a cop on the 173 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: beat saying, oh, wait, okay, I see a crime in progress. 174 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: Let us see. Let me call back to headquarters. Maybe, 175 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: let me call back to the chief. I'll call back 176 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: to somebody. In the meantime, I'll sit here in my 177 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: car and wait until I get approval. It's insane, that's 178 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: what they're doing. Biden is doing to ICE. And I 179 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,119 Speaker 1: know it's true because ICE officers are telling me ICE 180 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: leadership is telling me. And here's the real deal. The 181 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: administration will not release the data on how many times 182 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: ICE officers have asked for approval to arrest and leadership 183 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: has said no. They are desperate to keep those figures hidden. 184 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: They are desperate to keep ICE under wraps. They don't 185 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: want to talk about it, they don't want to testify 186 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: about it. They don't want to release any information, and 187 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: it's because they are allowing criminal illegals to run rampant 188 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: and they are doing nothing about it. So I agree 189 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: with you one hundred percent. This is a huge, huge issue. 190 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: They are actively endangering the citizens of this country and 191 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: the opera before we talk about the drugs on the border, 192 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: the criminal gangs on the border, the cartels who basically 193 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: control the border on the southern side. It's crazy, and 194 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: I think the more people see this, the more they're 195 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: gonna say, WHOA, that is not what we want. It's 196 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: not what we've voted for, and it's not what we're 197 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: going to support. Much less serious than that, there's a 198 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: lot of people out there that are hoping your Kansas 199 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: City Chiefs are going to fall back to the pack 200 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: a little bit new offensive line. I know, Patrick Mahomes 201 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: is the greatest quarterback and maybe the history of the world. 202 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: Is there any reason for me, as a Titans fan, 203 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: or anybody out there who's a Bills fan, or anybody 204 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: else in the AFC to have a little bit of 205 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: optimism that maybe your boys in the Kansas City Chiefs 206 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: are going to be a little bit more more normal 207 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: this coming year. Are you still wildly optimistic on their future? 208 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: I am hugely optimistic, and I think you should be 209 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: very depressed because we're gonna be amazing. The Chiefs are 210 00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: gonna be amazing. No, I mean I think that listens 211 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: the offseason. I think we had a great offseason. Uh 212 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: you know, we've got five new starters, big additions on 213 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: our line. I mean that's really obviously what we had 214 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: some major holes. You can see that in the super Bowl. 215 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: Uh Mahomes is a generational talent. I mean that is 216 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: that's that is obvious. I mean that anybody can see that. 217 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: I think he is going to end up as the 218 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: greatest of all time at that position. He's got a long, 219 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: long career ahead of him. I think he's just getting started. 220 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: I mean, he's just getting started. So I think that 221 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: the Tie's made some great moves. I think you're seeing 222 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: good stuff out of training camp, you know. I think 223 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: the Orlando Brown move in particular was it was a 224 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: great one. And he's he's getting ramped up, you know, 225 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: and we're seeing at training camps and maybe a little rusty, 226 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: but he's getting it into the system and I think 227 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be good. And they're gonna be 228 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna be amazing this year. Player. I'm just going 229 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: to coach have the Senator on all this football analysis 230 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: because I have no idea what you two guys are 231 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: talking about it is it going to be important? How important? 232 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: I can we keep talking on this show, Senator about 233 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: the importance of Maine like returning to normalcy and having 234 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: full football stadiums, even if you're not a big football fan, 235 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: is a big part of the sign of normalcy. Do 236 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: you think we're going to have full stadiums? And how 237 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: important is it eighteen months into this ridiculous COVID response 238 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: to finally get back to feeling and looking normal in 239 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: some of our pastimes like football. I think it's absolutely vital. 240 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: And I predicted in the Red States, where you have 241 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: Republican governors and legislatures, you are going to have full stadiums. 242 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what the Democrat you know, the Democrats 243 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: have become the party of the permanent pandemic. They want 244 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: this to last forever. They want kids to live in fear. 245 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: They want them to be masked in schools or not 246 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: be at school. I mean, let's be honest, we know 247 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: this where this is headed. I mean, the next stunt 248 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: is going to be all, well, it's studangerous, the kids 249 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: can't go to school, despite the fact that all the 250 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: science says kids are not at high risk, and you 251 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: all have talked about that quite a lot. So this 252 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: is what the Democrats want. It is pandemic forever because 253 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: that gives them control, that gives them the ability to 254 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: scare the country, and it gives Joe Biden a permanent 255 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: excuse for his failures and I mean failure on every 256 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: policy issue we've been talking about, including the pandemic, where 257 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: he's been a failure. So this is that's become their policy, 258 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: and I think it's the head for the country. We 259 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: do need to return to normal and we need to 260 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: give people hope. We need to give people hope that listen, 261 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: we are on the far side of this. The end 262 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: is in sight. We've got to give people encouragement to 263 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: get back out there live their lives, and particularly kids. 264 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: I mean, Clay, you and I've talked about this, and 265 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 1: you've got young kids. I've got young kids. The thought 266 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,599 Speaker 1: of our children being forced to mask up and to 267 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: social distance, maybe miss their activities, missports, it's insane. Amen, 268 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: just insane. Senator Josh Holly, great to have you on here. 269 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, and hopefully you'll come back and hang 270 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: out with two of us soon. Hey, thanks so much. Guys. 271 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: All right, Clay, we got we got the lieutenant governor 272 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: of New York that now the governor incoming governor. Well, 273 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: I mean she's incoming right fourteen days, yeah, fourteen days, 274 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: but she's addressing the nation right now, and we might 275 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: have something figure on that. We also had Biden pitching 276 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: his up ending extravaganza. We might have something for you 277 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: on that coming up here in just a moment, as 278 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: well as an update in Afghanistan. The short version, it's 279 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: not looking good. The longer version is, wow, it's really 280 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: not looking good at all. We'll get into that with 281 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: you if we got the time. But you know, in 282 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: the meantime, one of the most important things when we 283 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: talk about buying gold is protection. Then protection is critical 284 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: for your portfolio. I mean, but for me, the greatest 285 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: satisfaction I had was when I actually bought gold from 286 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: the Oxford Gold Group and that gold arrived at my home. 287 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: I bought gold and silver in fact, and I mean 288 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: it was like Christmas morning it's amazing. I actually got 289 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: the gold sent to my home. Now it sits in 290 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: my drawer, my main desk. I keep it there and 291 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: is safe, and I'm trying to add to it over 292 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: time because i want to diversify my portfolio and it's 293 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: good to have it. It's not numbers on a screen. 294 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: It's you know, not like some other thing out there 295 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: that you can feel like it's just all being printed 296 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: and made up. Gold is something you could actually hold 297 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: in your hands. You gotta call my friends at the 298 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: Oxford Gold Group.

They'll explain 303 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: everything to you.

Welcome back to the Clay, 313 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: Travis and Buck Sexton Show. I'm Buck Clay and I 314 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: just talked to Senator Josh Holly. Great discussion covering a 315 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: range of issues, the budget, the Democrats being crazy, lockdowns, 316 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: the border, and then some stuff about sports that Clay 317 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: and him were talking about could have been that could 318 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: have been an ancient Greek they're talking. They're all these 319 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: names I've never heard before. But I'll say this, Clay, 320 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: you know there was another, a voice, so to speak, 321 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: a weighing in of somebody on the budget that has 322 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: been advanced by Democrats using the reconciliation process. Want to 323 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: be very clear, because they're using reconciliation. They got the 324 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: fifty fifty plus Commala to break that down. There's actually 325 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: no filibuster to block this, there's no Republicans can't actually 326 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: stop it, which is why I was asking Josh Holley. 327 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, look, what are we really going to do here? 328 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: And the answer is not much. What about the infrastructure 329 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: bill though, which got nineteen Republican senators going along that. 330 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: We'll come back into that in one second. But Clay 331 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: the former president, I'm sure you saw this. Donald J. Trump, 332 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: I miss him, man. I mean, you know, not only 333 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: did he make America great and make the country better, 334 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: but he made this job of political commentary and media 335 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: just so rich every day because it was just awesome 336 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: watching him rush and own the libs and make them 337 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: cry constantly. I miss it very much. He was the 338 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: only guy who was up, you know, when I was 339 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: doing my early morning radio show in that six am hour, 340 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: like you hit Twitter and there's nobody awake tweeting, and 341 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: then the President's there. There were days he retweeted me 342 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: at six am six times, seven times in a row 343 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: to his eighty million roughly followers or whatever. I've never 344 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: seen so much crazy stuff in or Twitter time. I 345 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: had like actors that are like, I think you're in 346 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: a movie in nineteen ninety seven. They're like, I hate you, 347 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton jump off a bridge. I was like, what 348 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: did I do? Anyway? But here President Trump weighs in 349 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: here and here's what he says. God. This is a 350 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: statement by Donald J. Trump, forty fifth Presidents of the 351 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: United States of America. Good morning, America. While you were 352 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: all sleeping, the radical Democrats advanced a plan that will 353 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: be known as the three point five trillion dollar Communist 354 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: Plan to destroy America. This legislation is an assault on 355 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: our nation, on our communities, and on the American dream. 356 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: It destroys our borders and the rule of law by 357 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: granting dangerous amnesty that will flood America's beautiful cities. It 358 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: will overwhelm our schools and make our nation less safe. 359 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: It raises taxes like we have never seen, while also 360 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: making many things you buy every day more expensive, gas, groceries, 361 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: and much more. And don't forget the crazy Green New Deal, America. 362 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: You are being robbed in the dark of night. It's 363 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: time to wake up. By the way, Clay, the Communist 364 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: plan to destroy America. God, I miss this guy. You know. 365 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: Think about how useful it would be if we could 366 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: get Trump back on all of the social media platforms. 367 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously get him back in the Oval office, 368 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: but there's no doubt. And look, one of the biggest 369 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: issues with not having the presidency is not only the 370 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: lack of power, it's the lack of a bully pulpit. 371 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: You can't drive the narrative and whether you love or 372 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: hate him, Trump drove the narrative amazingly well for four 373 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: years and got a lot done. This is the twentieth 374 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: anniversary of nine eleven, twenty years since nearly three thousand 375 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: innocent civilians were killed by terrorists right here in the USA. 376 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: Inspired from that day, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation has 377 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: been honoring America's heroes ever since. They're bringing hope to 378 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: families across the country by giving two hundred mortgage free 379 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: homes the heroes and their families.

Appreciate all of you hanging out 391 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: with us across the entirety of the nation. Is that 392 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: a lot that we have discussed throughout the program as well. 393 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: Always encourage you to check out the podcast, make sure 394 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: you never miss anything from the wild Mass debate that 395 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: was a part of the school board meetings, critical race theory. 396 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: Much to discuss with Josh Holly about the budget, and 397 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: we want to talk a little bit more about the 398 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: budget because this was happening in the cover of night 399 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: as you just said, reading from Donald Trump's statement, Buck, 400 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: and a lot of people out there are asking what's 401 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: going on with the interplay between infrastructure which is around 402 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: one point two trillion dollars and it was pasted sixty 403 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: nine to thirty, including nineteen different Republicans supporting that infrastructure bill, 404 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: and also what's going on with the three point five 405 00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: trillion dollar reconciliation bill, which is the budget. And so 406 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell was asked Senate Minority leader about the budget 407 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: and this is what he had to say. The policies 408 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: they want to put behind this budget resolution read like 409 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 1: somebody walked across the rotunda to the House and handed 410 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: the squad a pen and piece of paper. Sweeping, sweeping 411 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: amnesty for illegal immigrants in the middle of the border crisis, 412 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: regulations that are so radical that our college Senator Marquee 413 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,719 Speaker 1: quote said, the Gray New Deal is in the DNA 414 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: of this budget resolution, stuff which I know we want 415 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: to get into. The Democrats do act like they have 416 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: a mandate. They've got they've got a president who, let's 417 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: just say things were tight, ye, just to avoid getting 418 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: to that whole discussion. The best case scenario for Joe 419 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: Biden and won by forty thou a super tight election. 420 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: I think we could say that much without you know, 421 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: and everyone's like, fuck, we'll talk about that another time. 422 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: But beyond that, I mean, you got as narrow as 423 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: it could be literally, as it could be in terms 424 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: of a and it's not even a real majority, as 425 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: we know, a day factor majority in the Senate, what 426 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: a handful in the House, and they're trying to slip 427 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: through to get around the filibuster. They're doing this reconciliation 428 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:19,159 Speaker 1: building really momentous changes, I mean, generation defining changes to 429 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: our system of government, to our law, to our systems, 430 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: and they're doing it with what mandate exactly, Clay, I mean, 431 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: while Biden's like wandering off into the woods looking confused, 432 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: like what exactly do they think gives them this? Right? 433 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: I just want to put that. And then the backdrop 434 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: of this is, I mean, they act like half the 435 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: country doesn't exist. It's very well said. And this is 436 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: the gamble because a lot of people out there saying, well, 437 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: why aren't the Republicans stopping this? And the answer is 438 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: they really can't. Right, if fifty Democrats are able to 439 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: stay together under the budget reconciliation process, then they are 440 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: going to be able to shove through this budget. Now 441 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: you heard Mitch McConnell are going after the budget and 442 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: effectively saying I think fairly that this is an extremely 443 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: left wing budget. And to your point, Buck, it's happening 444 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: with almost no mandate at all. The risk here what 445 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: is going on, I think behind the scenes is all 446 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: of these senators nineteen Republicans who ended up supporting infrastructure, 447 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: including Mitch McConnell, are gambling that they are going to 448 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: be able to now that the infrastructure bill is passed. 449 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: That Kristen Cinema in Arizona and Joe Mansion in West Virginia, 450 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: and maybe maybe a John Tester in Montana. We don't 451 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: know exactly that some of these moderate senators that are 452 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: representing states that either have substantial Trump support are or 453 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: are the biggest Trump supporting states in the country, which 454 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: is the case with West Virginia. That they are going 455 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: to slice and dice this three point five trillion dollars 456 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: down by a massive amount, and that the power is 457 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: there for Cinema and Mansion in particular, because there's no 458 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: margin for error on the Democratic side. So can I 459 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: give you fifty and commal it to support it. Another 460 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: possibility here is that they're putting all this stuff in. 461 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: You know, we talked to Holly about Senator Holly a 462 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: minute ago about the Senate Parliamentarian and can they get 463 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: I mean yes, if they get by the way, if that, 464 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: I don't think they're really going to get through amnesty. 465 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: It's it's hubris to even include amnesty in this budget. 466 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: If they got that through, then it's there's no smoking 467 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: there's no point in the parliamentarian. Yeah, I mean well 468 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: then it's like smoke them. If you got them our 469 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: system of God, the whole thing is completely corrupt and 470 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: feted and falling apart. So just that's that's like a 471 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: game over situation. So I am hopeful that's not where 472 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: we're going. But my concern, Clay, is that some of 473 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: those some of those pieces getting stripped out or being 474 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: told no by even the Senate parliamentarian might even create 475 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: some grounds for cinema and mansion and be like, well, 476 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 1: I mean the really you know, the really crazy stuff. 477 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: We could all greedy, the stuff that, as McConnell says, 478 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: the squad from the House of course the squad would 479 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: want in there. Or people are also referring to this 480 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: as the Berniey budget since that's gone. Well, no, we're 481 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: just we're just spending money on on critical things. I mean, 482 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: this is the biggest expansion of the welfare state in 483 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: over a decade, the biggest advansion. I mean, it's it's 484 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: game changer in that sense. And as we said, this 485 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: is there's no mandate here, but this is exactly if 486 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: you were expecting the third term of the Obama administration, 487 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: which has just been That's been pretty conventional wisdom for 488 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: anybody following politics on the right for a while. Uh, 489 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: that's what you're getting here. Just I think it's even 490 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: beyond that. I think this is even more expansive than 491 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: what Obama tried to do, and he's doing it. Biden 492 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 1: is under the mantle of the fact that he's just 493 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: a unified well well well to that point, I mean, 494 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: because Obama did have a filibuster approof right, so he 495 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: so he actually went all the all the way with Amacare. 496 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: I can't I can't believe. I mean that there would 497 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: be a future in which if the Democrats had a 498 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: filibus or proof majority right now, the first thing they 499 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,959 Speaker 1: would do is amnesty. They would call it five million 500 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: in the legislation, and then we'd find out it's not 501 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: eleven million. It's probably more like fifteen to twenty million. 502 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: If you talked to By the way, whenever I asked 503 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: Border Patrol about this, I've done it many times. I said, 504 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: you believe the census numbers, the official numbers that say 505 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: it's eleven million. They're like, well, considering we've got about 506 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: a half a million to a million coming in, you know, 507 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: year and a year out. No, they do not believe 508 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: the number. But that that Clay is that is game 509 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 1: change your long term strategic view from Democrats. You know, 510 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: this is one of the big criticisms people have a Republicans. 511 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: What you know, we had the House, the Senate, and 512 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: the Trump administration, and what did the machinery of the 513 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: Republican Party want? Tax cuts? Okay, we didn't. We didn't 514 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: get the we didn't get the full change in Obamacare 515 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: that we wanted. We didn't get a number of things. 516 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: So you just see Democrats go all the way, and 517 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: they go as far as they possibly can. They're unified 518 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: on that point. I think the big question here is 519 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: effectively the government is boiling down to Kristen Cinema and 520 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion. I mean, people want to talk about Joe Biden, 521 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: they can talk about Nancy Pelosi and the squad and 522 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: everything else, but ultimately, the entire United States government, the 523 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: biggest budget of any of our lives, is going to 524 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: be a function of what Kristen Cinema and Joe Mansion decide, 525 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: and the people who are voting on it and in 526 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: favor of it have not and will not read the 527 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: entirety of it, or even a majority of it. Of course, 528 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: this is a Frankenstein monster budget. This is all pulled 529 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: together from from different pieces, and I know Frankenstein was 530 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: actually the guy who created it, but whatever, you know, 531 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: the monster people I love people like to call me 532 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: out on that Joe was doctor Frankenstein. The point being 533 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: they pulled this thing all together. It's a Democrat squad 534 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: approved wish list of just massive ending increases. I mean, 535 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: you know, universe. I mean here some of the things 536 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: that are in there, since we're talking about it, includes 537 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 1: funding for universal pre k universal pre kindergarten, tuition free 538 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: community college, paid family leave, clean energy source development, now play. 539 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,719 Speaker 1: Those are the sweeteners. Those are the things that some 540 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: people would say, well, it's maybe expensive, we don't have 541 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: the money, but those things sound good of But when 542 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: you start getting into the equity councils and the green 543 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, the Green New Deal parts of this, we 544 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: start getting into the fine print is where you find 545 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: out that they're also enlarging and empowering the administrative state 546 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: at the expense of the American economy and American freedom. Well, 547 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: and I'm a business guy, and so the fact that 548 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: we still and I keep harping on this because I 549 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: think it's very significant, and I know there are a 550 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: lot of people who run small businesses and are affiliated 551 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: with making business decisions, buck the fact that we still 552 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: don't know what the tax rates are going to be 553 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, despite the fact that we are 554 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: all the way up to August and they're not going 555 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: to try to reconcile a lot of this stuff until Timber. 556 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: And they're talking about retroactively, which is a wild idea, right, 557 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: It's a wild idea that deserves way more discussion. They 558 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: are talking about retroactively applying tax increases all the way 559 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: back to when Donald Trump was still president for any 560 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: decisions that were made from a business perspective. I mean, 561 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: this is an outlandish, unbelievable attempted change in law to 562 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: retroactively put in place laws that didn't exist when many 563 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: business owners are making decisions all throughout this year. I 564 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: think we might have to hold Afghanistan and the duration 565 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: for tomorrow everybody, because I just real, Clay, we get 566 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: fired up, man.

One 613 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: key thing about the Infrastructure of bill that just passed 614 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: the Senate is there are no gas tax increases. No 615 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: gas tax increases. I made that absolutely clear that I 616 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: would not raise gas taxes. I'm glad everyone in the 617 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 1: sentence seemed to agree with that. But that's not enough. Recently, 618 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: we've seen the price that oil companies pay for a 619 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: battle of oil began to fall, but the cost of 620 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: gasolines that the pump for more American people hasn't fallen. 621 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: That's not what you'd expect in the competitive market. I 622 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: want to make sure that nothing stands in the way 623 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: of oil price to clients, leading to lower prices for 624 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: consumers feeling that pain at the pump. You could thank 625 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden for it, along with the inflation that's coming 626 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: your way already.

But yeah, 643 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: for the average person out there driving around, I mean 644 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: the price at the pump is just massive. I mean, 645 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: you know, we don't talk a lot about that, but 646 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: that's an effective tax. In care, what was your first 647 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: What was your first car? Because that's my first car 648 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: was a Buick Roadmaster station wagon with wood paneled sides 649 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: and about eighty five thousand miles on it. Aby that thing, 650 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: it was like a boat you tried to turn going 651 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: more than thirty miles an hour, you'd fish tail. It 652 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: was amazing. So my first real car I didn't get 653 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,479 Speaker 1: to I was like twenty five years old, but I 654 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: drove a nineteen eighty five Volvo station Wagon which was 655 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: also like a boat and were station Wagon brothers.
