1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back everybody. Clay and Buck Show 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: going strong into the second hour eight two eight eight two. 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: If you want to chat with us, we'll get some 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: of your calls in the back of the our Folk show. 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: And we have a reminder news over the weekend, a 7 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: reminder of what tends to happen in the Republican Party, 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: and that is that there are it's almost a type, 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: a species of Republican for whom any opportunity to achieve 10 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: the strange new respect of Democrats for a minute, to 11 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: get a pad on the head from the editorial board 12 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: of the New York Times, to get in at a 13 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: boy or at a girl from CNN. That only lasts 14 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: about a day, if that. But it's worth it, even 15 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: if it means betraying the Republican base, even if it 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: means going along with this moment of heightened emotion over reason, 17 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: infringing upon rights and allowing the left what they want, 18 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: which is harassed people. I'm speaking, of course, of the 19 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: bipartisan and I think it is technically correct to call 20 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: this one somewhat bipartisan Senate framework for gun control that 21 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: was achieved over the weekend, and there are ten Republicans 22 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,040 Speaker 1: in support of this. Now, before you get into those republicans, 23 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: what this includes is mostly about mental health background checks 24 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: for eighteen to twenty one year olds. I think it 25 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: says red flag laws. That's a big one. Something called 26 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: the boyfriend loophole is also in this. No semi automatic 27 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: weapons ban, no twenty one minimum age, no magazine ban. 28 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: So they didn't do any of that. The legislation, like 29 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: I said, wouldn't ban us old weapons. So this is 30 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: going to do very little, if anything. I think it's 31 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: fair to say it probably would do nothing other than 32 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: spend money on programs for which there is no accountability 33 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: and no reasonable belief that it will really do very much. 34 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: In fact, it does so little that you wonder, how 35 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: could anyone think? By the way, here you go, senators 36 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 1: have agreed to close the boyfriend loophole. This is what 37 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: I was looking for by prohibiting people from obtaining a 38 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: firem if they were convicted of domestic violence relating to 39 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: a dating partner or the subject of a restraining order. 40 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: Interesting Clay Hero that's the ten Senate Republicans who are 41 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: going along with this. So this is going to get done. 42 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: I mean, this is going to get signed and into 43 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: lawmost likely Tillis, Blunt, Burr, Cassidy, Collins, Graham, m Portman, 44 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: Romney no surprise there too, Me and Cornin of ten Texas, 45 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: which I think some people are saying, oh the other 46 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: senator from Texas going along with this, What do you 47 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: make of it all? I think it is a calculated 48 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: attempt to ensure that guns aren't act. This is being charitable, right. 49 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: I think this is a calculated attempt to effectively take 50 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: guns off the table for the midterm while not really 51 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: doing anything of a substantive nature. So my analysis on 52 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: this is what we were saying the first hour, and 53 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: I think you're one hundred percent righte about this. Democrats 54 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: now for the midterms have to throw up distractions, things 55 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: that are going to be bright, shiny objects in an 56 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: effort to distract from the cold hard reality of what's 57 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: going on the porter, the murder rate, inflation, stocks collapsing, 58 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: the situation in Ukraine, which, by the way, to your credit, 59 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: Buck said, we're widely under analyzing what Russia is going 60 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: to be capable of. And now Russia is got back control. 61 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: It seems like very much in the eastern part of 62 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: Ukraine they're gaining day and day out. Seems that we 63 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: are going to have to throw billions and billions of 64 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: dollars more into this money pit war that we're ostensibly 65 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: not a part of, but we kind of are a 66 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: part of now and a proxy sense, and so they 67 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: don't want any of that. So they've got Trump, They've 68 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: got guns, and they've got abortion, and I think they 69 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: are going to do everything that they can on Trump, 70 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: guns and abortion. To me, I think this takes guns 71 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: out of the equation because I think the storyline now 72 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: what Democrats are going to want to sell is we've 73 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: met this is a massive win, even though substantively it's 74 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: not very much different as you mentioned, and basically would 75 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: have had no impact on almost any of these shootings, right, 76 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: And so I think it takes guns off the table 77 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: abortion sooner or later, and we should talk about the 78 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: continued oh year of John Roberts to put out this decision, 79 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: even though some of the members of his court are 80 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: legitimately being potentially assassinated right now dealing with that threat 81 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: and the truck thing, where I really do think the 82 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: more you look at this January sixth event. They're trying 83 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: to bully and bully mare Garland until he throws him 84 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: under the bus. So I think this takes guns off 85 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: the table charitably, if you want to analyze it from 86 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: that perspective, purely political, not based on an analysis of 87 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: Second Amendment jurisprudence or anything like that. So this bill 88 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: would include I mentioned this at the top, ran through 89 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of things, expanded background check for people 90 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: under twenty one who want to purchase a gun. The 91 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: background check currently only deals with after age eighteen behavior. 92 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: So what this would do is, if you want to 93 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: buy a gun, your juvenile records would also be subject 94 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: to scrutiny here and which, by the way, let me 95 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: just say this seems like a mess because the idea 96 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: is when you become an adult, your juvenile record does 97 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: not follow you. So here in this scenario, you have 98 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 1: the juvenile record following you into adulthood. Just FYI, sorry 99 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: to cut you off, but I do think that flies 100 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: in the face of the concept of a juvenile record 101 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: disappearing in general. And so you look at this, and 102 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: then the expansion of money for mental health edisues I'll 103 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 1: just remind everyone mental health initiative always sounds like because 104 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: this country is having a is actually in the midst 105 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: of a mental health crisis. Similarly to we'll talk about 106 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: a national crime wave, we have a mental health wave 107 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: or mental health disturbance wave. I think is largely attributable 108 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,919 Speaker 1: to the COVID lockdowns and all the madness of that 109 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: whole phenomenon. Completely unnecessary, inhumane, and disgraceful that they made 110 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: everyone go through this. But we spent almost almost a 111 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: billion dollars on a mental health initiative in New York 112 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: City alone, for example, that was handed to build a 113 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: Blasio's unelected wife when he was the mayor. It was 114 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: eight hundred million dollars they spent, and still no one 115 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: really understands where the money went, which, of course, it 116 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: feels like eight hundred million dollars for a city budget. 117 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: We're not talking to in federal now. Eight hundred million 118 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: dollars for a city feel like that shouldn't just get 119 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: lost in the couch cushions, but apparently it did. So 120 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: mental health, yeah, it should be addressed, but that's a 121 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: little bit like saying kindness or manners should be addressed. 122 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: You need to be really specific about what you think 123 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: is going to work here. And then you also, I think, 124 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: have to remind everybody or we're all reminded perhaps of 125 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: the red flag law component here. Does anyone really think 126 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: that the same system that massed us up forcefully for 127 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: two years, they thought we were crazy because we didn't 128 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: want to do that, They were crazy for making everyone 129 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: do that. The same system that's firing members of the 130 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: military because they don't want to get a shot that 131 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: they do not need. That will not protect them unless 132 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: they want to keep getting shot about every three months, 133 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: and even then the production is not so good. We're 134 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: going to trust that system not to abuse the red 135 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: flag laws in concept, I understand why people would support them, 136 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: I understand the concept behind them. In implementation, it just 137 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: feels like this is likely to be abused in jurisdictions 138 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: that are anti gun, and this will be used as 139 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: a tool against people, whether it's veterans who have PTSD 140 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: and others, to prevent them from enjoying their Second Amendment rights. 141 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: And by the way, this situation in Uvalde continues to 142 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: look more and more like an utterly incompetent police response. 143 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: And so I'm still I still want more of the 144 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: details about this police response. We know the police we 145 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: are in the building two minutes after the shooter. We 146 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: know that they exchange fire with the shooter shortly after 147 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: he gets inside. I still find the entire concept of 148 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: how to make schools safer we immediately pivoted off of that. 149 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: Right Like you and I had that conversation, I talked 150 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: about what goes on at my kids elementary school, the 151 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: arm security that's there, the fact that there's only one 152 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: entrance in theory to the school, all of these things. 153 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: I feel like we totally missed the ball in terms 154 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: of analyzing how to keep schools as safe as possible, 155 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: and have kind of just sparked This is my criticism 156 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: is if we're going to be spending money, I would 157 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: rather be spending money on police officers in schools. Have 158 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: we got forty billion dollars for Ukraine? How can we 159 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: not protect the kids in this school? And what went 160 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: wrong in Uval day? Does it feel to you like 161 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: the story quickly? I'm not surprised by it, but moved 162 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 1: very rapidly into we need gun control and not actually 163 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: addressing what happened in uv All day. Because that was 164 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: just total failure by the police. There here is Senator 165 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: Chris Murphy, who has been one the guys pushing this 166 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: the most from Connecticut on this gun this bipartisan gun 167 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: bill that is likely to pass soon. We reach to 168 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: compromise over the weekend that will save lives. I understand 169 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: that part of the news here is the breakthrough, because 170 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: I think you're right. This does allow us to break 171 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: this log jam, and it allows us to be set 172 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: up for future success. But the content of this compromise 173 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: in and of itself will save lives. The ability to 174 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: help states pass red flag laws will stop thousands of 175 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: suicides and homicides. The closing of the boyfriend loophole means 176 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: that domestic abusers, boyfriends that beat up their girlfriends won't 177 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: be able to buy guns. Can I just a few things, 178 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: And first of all, don't let it slip past anybody 179 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: that he said setting us up for future success. What 180 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: he needs is more more gun control legislation. That's what 181 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: he means. Yes, this is not like okay, Republicans. This 182 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: is why Clay, I just know what you're saying from 183 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: a purely political perspective. It takes some of the heat 184 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: out of it. But from a what is the real 185 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: plan of the left, it's incumental gun grabbing, always forever 186 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: until they until they go full Trudeau and say you're 187 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: not even allowed to which we can get to in 188 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: a few minutes, not even allowed to use a gun 189 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: to defend yourself. They will not be happy. They will 190 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: keep pushing for more on this. But also what he 191 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: says they are about it's gonna save thousands of This 192 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: will save thousands of lives. It's just absurd. It's just absurd. 193 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: And even beyond that, on the on the what they 194 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: call the boyfriend loophole for example, Okay, you know sometimes 195 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: people get joint restraining orders against each other. I mean, 196 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: you know, this is the thing could often happen. There 197 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: are due process concerns with someone can now say what 198 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: happens if someone has a really nasty breakup and they say, 199 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to get a restraining order 200 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: against my ex husband or my ex wife so that 201 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: I can get their guns taken away because I know 202 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: it's really important to them. How do they adjudicate this? 203 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I assume there might be some court pros, 204 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: but they probably take the guns and then you have 205 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: to try to get them back. Yeah, I think it's 206 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: going to be messy. And you also know he's slid 207 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: in their suicide. You know what's one of the number 208 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: one culprits for suicides of late the lockdowns. Right, the 209 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: overall suicide rate and mental health issues in this country 210 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: have skyrocketed since Democrats shut down the country and kept 211 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: it shut down. So the idea based on this law 212 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: that thousands of lives are going to be saved, I 213 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: think is certainly a lie. And this goes to the 214 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: point that we've made on this program, which is if 215 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: you truly wanted to save lives, if your true goal 216 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: is to reduce gun violence, you would do two things. 217 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: Put more police officers on the streets and keep the 218 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: ones from retiring, which has turned into a monster issue. 219 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: And second, you would put criminals behind bars. If this 220 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: isn't focused on either fifteen hundred fifteen hundred retirements early 221 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: retirements in many cases from the NYPD alone, now it's 222 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: a one hundred percent a monster issue. Will continue to 223 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: break this down, Maybe play you that audio from Justin Trudeau, 224 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: who by the way, now has COVID again, and you're 225 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: going to be I think staggered if you haven't heard 226 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: exactly what Justin Trudeau said in the gun related issues 227 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: here in a moment. But first another day, another data 228 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: breach impacting millions of people. In this case, two million 229 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: people have been affected by the recent data breach at 230 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: Shields Healthcare Group.

Imagine if you 233 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: were involved. That's all the info a cyber hacker needs 234 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: to open bogus accounts in your name start their own 235 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: buying spree. Like the two million people affected here, you 236 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: not even know about such a breach for weeks or 237 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: even months.

I want to 250 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: hit Buck with two different things here that I think 251 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: are going to blow his mind. I know you've seen 252 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: the first one that Justin Trudeau, but I bet a 253 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: lot of our audience has not. I heard this and 254 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, this is where we are, this 255 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: is where the Democrats would take us in the United States. 256 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: Here's Justin Trudeau letting me know that you don't have 257 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: the right to defend yourself. We have a culture where 258 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: the differ princes. Guns can be used for hunting or 259 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: for sports shooting in Canada, and there's lots of gun 260 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: owners and they're mostly loss of respecting and law abiding. 261 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: But you can't use a gun for self protection in Canada. 262 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: That's not a right that you have you in the 263 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: constitution or anywhere else. If you try and buy a gun, 264 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: he's hays for self protection. No you don't get that. 265 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: You get it for hunting. You can get it for 266 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: sports shooting. Take it to the range, no problem, as 267 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: long as you go through our rigorous background checks. But 268 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: there's a difference around the culture. Can I just say 269 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: that we should probably start to give warnings to the 270 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: guys in our audience that listening to Justin Trudeau could 271 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: cause a sudden rise in estrogen levels. So we just 272 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: we need them to be aware that whatever testosterone you 273 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: have will come under assault the moment your ears pick 274 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: up Trudeau's blather. You have to you have to get 275 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: killed by someone in Canada. You don't have a right 276 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: to defend yourself. If someone has a gun and they 277 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: want to kill you, they can. That's what Justin Trudeau 278 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: just it's better. Justin Trudeau is flipping via the adage. 279 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: He's like, you know, it's better to be carried by 280 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: six than judged by twelve. That that's his attitude. He'd 281 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: rather you not defend yourself, all right. And here's the 282 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: second thing that's gonna blow your mind. Buck. This is 283 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: a Washington Post reporter, Taylor Lrenz, and I understand a 284 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: lot of you may not get involved in the media analysis. 285 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: But she is one of the worst human beings on 286 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: left wing media in the country, right is she the 287 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: most cartoonishly awful journal on the scene these days, Lady 288 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: got And I hate to even mention her. I hate 289 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: to even mention her name because I feel like in 290 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: some way it benefits her. But she sent this tweet. Buck, 291 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: This is one hundred percent real. I have to fly 292 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: soon for work, and as someone who is medically vulnerable, 293 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: I'm so scared all COVID precautions that keep high risk 294 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: people safe have been dropped. I plan to keep an 295 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: in ninety five on my face for all seven hours 296 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: with zero water breaks, but I'm scared it may not 297 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: seel perfectly any tips. It's a real tweet to your 298 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: point about how many people are psychologically broken. If you 299 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: read the comments to this from other Blue checks, these 300 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: people are totally psychotic at this point, as it pertains 301 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: to COVID. This is this is real. This is what 302 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: what um what I saw where I told you that 303 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: people would take it more, you know, even more seriously 304 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: the ones who are left still doing this stuff. Uh, 305 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: you know, this is a little bit like some of 306 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: the people if you look at more extreme periods in 307 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: some of the history of Christianity, with with monks and people, 308 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: they would wear a hair shirt as pennants I'd wear, 309 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: you'd wear the really unusually made of goat's hair. You'd 310 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: wear this hair shirt, and it was meant to be 311 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: really uncomfortable and meant to make you feel the suffering 312 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: that you should be. That's what a ninety five masked 313 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: on planes now are for people. I'm not worth breathing 314 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: for real air. It's crazy that this is real and 315 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: that this is where we are two weeks ago, I 316 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: set it out loud, folks. We're headed for a turbulent time, 317 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: probably a recession right now. Look where we are. Friday 318 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: stock market reaction the latest news on inflation was proof positive. 319 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: In an uncertain time. We need to create a new 320 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: plan for stability for ourselves going forward, a plan to 321 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: shield our wealth as best as we can. My plan 322 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: is to buy more gold and silver. Both have been 323 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: proven over time to hold their value and markets become turbulent. 324 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: I rely on the Oxford Gold Group for gold purchases. 325 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: They're the industry leader for so many reasons, starting with 326 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: their advice and their best pricing guarantees.

The Democrats are going 336 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: to get a gun control bill through, or a gun 337 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: violence bill or whatever they're calling.

Because we know this isn't the 340 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: end of the gun grabbing efforts. We've got that plus 341 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: the January sixth situation to talk about with Congresswoman at 342 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: least Stephonic of New York. Congresswoman, thanks for joining good 343 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: to be with you. Tell us first what your thoughts 344 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: are on the gun control bill that has ten Republicans 345 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: who have at least agreed in the Senate to vote 346 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: with it. Well, certainly there is no text out yet, 347 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: so as we've seen some of these negotiations end up 348 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: falling apart when it gets to the detail. My concern 349 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: is that any type of gun safety legislation, immediately after 350 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: these horrific tragedies, Democrats move to taking away law abiding 351 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: people's guns, and that is not the right direction. I've 352 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: introduced legislation that will provide incentives for safegun storage, for 353 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: gun safety training courses. And the reality is, despite the 354 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: fact that the media refuses to cover it, it was 355 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: Republicans who passed the Fixed Knicks Bill that was voted 356 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: by and supported by over eighty Senators as well as 357 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: signed into law by President Trump to make sure there 358 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: was more adequate information sharing between agencies. In addition, we 359 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: passed the School Resource Officers funding a billion dollars. Where 360 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: I believe we need to go is robust spending when 361 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: it comes to investments and mental health resources, as well 362 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: as making sure every school in America has a school 363 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: resource officer. I've visited with schools in my district. They 364 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: love their school resource officers. It's good for the community, 365 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: good for students, good for teachers, and of course good 366 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: for local law enforcement to understand what's happening. So again 367 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,479 Speaker 1: there's no details of the legislation, and ultimately I'm going 368 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: to wait to see any of the details that I 369 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: adamantly oppose any effort to strip law abiding citizens of 370 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: their Second Amendment right. Alas, thanks for coming on. One 371 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: hundred percent agree with you. My kids go to public 372 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 1: school and we've had an arm security officer and they 373 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: absolutely love her in the school, and I don't understand 374 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: why this wouldn't be standard operating procedure everywhere. I want 375 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: to ask you about January sixth, the hearings that are 376 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: going on right now, I believe, maybe still continuing as 377 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: we speak. It seems quite clear that this is effectively 378 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: a third Donald Trump impeachment trial, and Buck and I 379 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: were talking about earlier in the show that we feel 380 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: as if the entire purpose of what is effectively a 381 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: show trial is to put political pressure and demand that 382 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump be charged with a crime by Merrick Garland, 383 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: Does it feel that way to you in terms of 384 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: your analysis? Where is this going? How much longer will 385 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: it go on? Does anyone care? How would you assess 386 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: January sixth hearings in general? So my assessment is these 387 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: hearings are very much a political circus, a partisan witch hunt, 388 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: and this is impeachment part three, impeachment hoax three. And 389 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: look at the players you have. You have Adam Schiff 390 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: on the panel. You have Jamie Raskin on the panel. 391 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: You have Benny Thompson. Jamie Raskin, by the way, and 392 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: Benny Thompson voted to object to previous elections when it 393 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: was Republicans, so they objected in two thousand and five 394 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: in Benny Thompson's case, and Jamie Raskin said that we 395 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: did that. He called on Congress to impeach President Trump 396 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: before President Trump was even signed was sworn into office. 397 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: My sense is that when I go home to my district, 398 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: which is all the time, people are talking about inflation, 399 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 1: gas prices, the crime crisis in America, the border crisis. 400 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: I didn't have a single constituent asked me about January 401 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: six during our last two week district work period. And 402 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: I think Democrats understand they're losing on every other issue 403 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: that they've called most all these crises, so they're trying 404 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: to change the narrative. But I'm a big believer that 405 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: the American people are smart. They can see right through this. 406 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: The other important part of these hearings. That's unprecedented. You 407 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: don't have any Republican appointed members. That's the first time 408 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: in the history of the Congress. That and Nancy Pelosi 409 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: is shredding any precedent that you don't have members appointed 410 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: by Kevin McCarthy in this case the Republicans. So when 411 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: I was part of impeachment round one, there were Republicans 412 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: in the room who were able to cross examine the witnesses, 413 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: who were able to point out when Democrats are cherry picked. 414 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: We're not able to do that because we're not even 415 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: in the room. Speaking of Congresswoman, at least dephonic. Congresswoman, 416 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: you are chair of the House Republican Conference, right, so 417 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: you're a third ranking member of the House in leadership. 418 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: Right now, Clay and I are talking a lot about 419 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 1: the upcoming midterms, and it's looking good for Republicans to 420 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: get back control in the House. But how good do 421 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: you think it can look as in? What are you 422 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: what do you hope for in terms of pickup? What 423 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: do you think the central message needs to be? What 424 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,239 Speaker 1: should people be expecting going into the mid terms from 425 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: a House perspective. Well, first of all, I've been in 426 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: this position for a year as the House Republican Conference Chair, 427 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: and unlike my predecessor who was focused on herself and 428 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, I made sure and work with my colleagues 429 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: every day to focus on the issues that matter. So 430 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: really prosecuting a case against Joe Biden, Nancy Glossian, Chuck 431 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: Schumer for the inflation crisis which is a result of 432 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: the radical tax and spending agenda, for the energy crisis 433 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: in the skyrocketing gas prices, which is the result of 434 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's war in American energy, the crime crisis, which 435 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: is a direct result of Democrats rhetoric and policies to 436 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: defund the police. In addition to making sure the American 437 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: people understand that these policies cause what we're going through 438 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: right now, focusing on our commitment to America, So our 439 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: commitment to pass a balanced budget, our commitment to reign 440 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: in this spending which has caused rampant inflation, our commitment 441 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: to unleash American energy independence, and be at check on 442 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, you know, when it comes to foreign policy, 443 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: holding China accountable and making sure that we have a 444 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: strong national defense, which is a far cry from what 445 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 1: we're seeing with Joe Biden, whether it's the catastrophic withdrawal 446 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: from Afghanistan, the weakness on the world stage, the war 447 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: in Ukraine, etc. So Republicans will offer that alternative. We 448 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: will unveil our commitment to America in the coming weeks. 449 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: And then additionally, Congress's role is to have oversight over 450 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: these agencies, so for example, when it comes to the 451 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: border crisis, making sure that we're holding this administration accountable 452 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 1: for their abject disaster that they've caused on our southern border. 453 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: A lease last question for you, and appreciate time with 454 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: us here, Joe Biden. I'm sure you saw all the 455 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: articles all weekend long where Democrats were coming after him 456 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: some of your colleagues on the Democratic side in the House. 457 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: Do you think Joe Biden's going to run again in 458 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: twenty four Well, certainly, you know, the White House has 459 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: put out messaging that he will run again, and I 460 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: believe that ultimately he will run again as probably the 461 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: most unpopular first term president seeking re election. And boy, 462 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 1: if the election were held today, Republicans would certainly win 463 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: the White House. I think the midterms are going to 464 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: be very telling. You previously asked how many seats. You know, 465 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 1: when my political team and myself are meeting with candidates 466 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: across the country, we're going pretty deep. We're going into 467 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: territories that Joe Biden won these districts by twelve fifteen points, 468 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: but he's under water there today because voters feel buyer's remorse. 469 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 1: So do I think he's going to run? Do I 470 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: not think if you can run? I think Democrats realized 471 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: they have real problems. They're about to have a shellacking 472 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: this November and catastrophic losses. That's why you're seeing over 473 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: thirty Democrats already announced their retirement earlier this year, and 474 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: they're still heading for the hills in terms of not 475 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: wanting to be on the ballot. So I'm not going 476 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 1: to play guesswork in terms of the president. So I 477 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: do think he will be a very very weak nominee 478 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: just because he's been a very weak president, very weak 479 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: commander in chief. And the American people are smart, they 480 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: know over nearly eighty percent understand that we're headed in 481 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: the wrong direction. No doubt she's congresswoman at least Stefanac 482 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: doing fantastic work for people in New York. We appreciate 483 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 1: the time, thank you.

Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. 511 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: So I went up to Knoxville over the weekend, got 512 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: to watch some of the College World series scenarios. Notre Dame, Congratulations, 513 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: the fighting Irish out there beat Tennessee, my Tennessee volunteer team. 514 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: But we had an amazing time hanging out and Buck. 515 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: I mentioned this a little bit earlier in the show. 516 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: One of the we were up there with five with 517 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: three kids. There were five of us total. Another dad 518 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: was with me and he said. We were talking to 519 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: the car on the way up and I said, Hey, 520 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: I'm just kind of curious. How much attention did you 521 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: pay to the Brett Kavanaugh assassination attempt? And he said 522 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,959 Speaker 1: that happened. He said, I didn't even hear about it. 523 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: And he's a smart guy, plugged in but busy like 524 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: a lot of parents are out there and not necessarily 525 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: listening to the news every day and on Sunday, all 526 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: of the talk shows, face the Nation, meet the press. 527 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: All of them, with the exception of the Fox Show. 528 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: On Fox News didn't even mention the attempted assassination of 529 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: Brett Cavanaugh. And we talked a lot about this on 530 00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: the show last week, and in particular during that we 531 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: said the New York Times had not covered this at all. 532 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: They put it on the twentieth page of their newspaper, 533 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,479 Speaker 1: and Buck, You've done a show. I've still never been 534 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 1: invited on the show. I think that might be because 535 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm banned by CNN and they have the same parent company, 536 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: or maybe they just hate me. But Bill Moore teed 537 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: off on the New York Times for not covering the 538 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 1: attempted assassination of Brett Kavanaugh. Listen, point is, I think 539 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: your point, and the point I would agree with is 540 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: the New York Times buried this. If this had been 541 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: a liberal Supreme Court justice that someone came to kill, 542 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: it would have been on the front page. And that's 543 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: what's so disappointing about a paper like the New York Times, 544 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: because they just wear their bias on their sleeves, and 545 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: they if it's not part of something that feeds our narrative. 546 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: It's totally true. I mean it's also though I do 547 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: sometimes feel like we should hesitate a bit to clap 548 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: who loudly for people on the left who are saying, 549 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: what is so obvious when for years and years they 550 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: created the circumstances by shouting at every Republican as racist, 551 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is worse than Hitler. Now all of a sudden, 552 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: it's it's like they created this left wing monster and 553 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: now they can't control it, and we're supposed to look 554 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: at them and say, oh wow, so stunning and brave 555 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: when they brought us to this point. I mean, you know, 556 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: I mean Bill Mahers said some great stuff under the 557 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: Biden administration. He was delusional under the Trump But again, 558 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: he's one of those people in media for whom the 559 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: Trump thing was actually personal. Yeah, personally disliked Donald Trump. 560 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: They had personal beef. So I'm curious what will happen 561 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: the day after the midterms. You live in New York City, Buck, 562 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: there are a lot of people are listening to us 563 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: in behind enemy lines in Chicago and in in La 564 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: do you think there will be a realization of how 565 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 1: toxic the Democrat brand is for much of the country 566 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: right now, or will there be like what sort of 567 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: realization if we get what I think you agree is 568 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: likely to be a red wave in blue clusters of 569 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: America where it's overwhelmingly Democrat controlled cities, they wake up 570 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: and see all these results and think what the day after, Oh, 571 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna tell themselves we're gonna have let's say a 572 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: two or three seat majority in the Senate. We're gonna 573 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: have a thirty to forty seat pick up. Again, I 574 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: want the target to be fifty, but realistically a thirty 575 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 1: to forty seat pick up in the House. And the 576 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: Democrats in San Francisco, in New York, in Chicago, DC, 577 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: now that they have house races there, but everyone knows 578 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, they're gonna tell themselves this is 579 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: just the result of bad luck. It's a cyclical recession. 580 00:32:55,560 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: Vladimir fits Pruten's price hike. They will double down in 581 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: the delusion because in those places they're so rarely exposed 582 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: to anything that is meaningfully conservative. I mean, it's one 583 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: people say, what's it like for me to walk around 584 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: New York City. You have a very different deal in Nashville. 585 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: You know, you get high fives in free barbecuel. I 586 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: get people would think problems, but actually I don't. When 587 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: I was on CNN back in the day, I used 588 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: to get people coming up to me and sometimes being 589 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: a little snippy. But no one. They don't even they 590 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: don't listen to talk radio to the left, I'm saying, 591 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: the Democrats don't listen to talk to radio New York. 592 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: So they have no idea who I am. They have 593 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: no idea who you are, and which is great because 594 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: I can walk around anonymously until a cop, a construction worker, 595 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: a carpenter is like Buck, I love the show, and 596 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: then we like hug and we hang out. But which 597 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: is a great thing. It happens in New York sometimes. 598 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: But my point about the Blue areas is that they 599 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: they really believe this cartoon that Donald Trump is a 600 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: white nationalist who was destroying the country and a threat 601 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: to democracy, and so anything is better than him, anything 602 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's such a it's such an interesting perspective 603 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: because and I know we're looking a little bit ahead, 604 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: but if you're right, and if Democrats see this shellacking, 605 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: this onslaught, this red wave that's going to sweep over them, 606 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: and think because a lot of them do. The reason 607 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: why this happened is because we didn't do enough. Right. 608 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: That's what you hear people saying now about Joe Biden. 609 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: The reason why Joe Biden's not popular is because we 610 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: haven't done enough. And in fact, there's a great clip 611 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: where on Morning Joe right behind enemy Lines on MSNBC 612 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 1: This Morning, Obama Economic advisor Brett Rattner, I believe, basically says, Hey, 613 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: the only reason why Joe Biden and the rest of 614 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: the country is not completely under way. Steve Rattner, Yeah, 615 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: Steve Rattner, My bad is because Joe Manchin actually rejected 616 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's advice. This is what we've been warning us. 617 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: You've flood the economy with too much money, with too 618 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 1: much government debt, with too many government programs, too much 619 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: deficit spending. This is exactly what happens. And my god, 620 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 1: I just wonder what would have happened if progressives have 621 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,839 Speaker 1: gotten their six trillion dollars wish earlier this year. Yeah, 622 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: in an ironic way, you almost have to thank Joe 623 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: Mansion for blocking that because six and a half trillion 624 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: dollars of spending in this economy would make these numbers 625 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: look small. Yeah, we said that what six months ago? Oh, 626 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: this we argue that aggressively on this show. This, this 627 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: was and we kept saying that they should be, they 628 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: should be thanking, they should be, they should be bended 629 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: knee begging forgiveness. Now from Joe Mansion for saving the 630 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: Democrat Party. You get to ten, twelve, fourteen percent inflation, 631 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: all bets are off. Man. At that point, the pain 632 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,479 Speaker 1: people would feel going into the midterms, you might start 633 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: to see some blue areas, real blue areas where they 634 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: have second thoughts about what they're doing. Uh, you know, 635 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: in terms of in terms of the voting patterns. But 636 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 1: I mean, this was Obama's autos are if you remember, 637 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 1: this was the guy who restructured the Auto into Tree 638 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: And you know, the bond holders got the rough end 639 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: of the deal because they decided to help out the 640 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 1: unions anyway, But this is the guy who came in 641 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,719 Speaker 1: and redid it for Obama and Clay. He sounds like 642 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: he listens to the Clay and Buck show. Now that's 643 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 1: exactly what I was gonna even Joe Scarborough. Joe Scarborough 644 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 1: sounded like a Clay and Buck listener there. And by 645 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: the way, it's worth mentioning Joe Scarborough used to represent 646 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 1: the Panhandle of Florida like that is one of the 647 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: most conservative regions in the entire country. I know, I 648 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: got a place there. I absolutely love it from Nantucket. Now, 649 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: is that what he represents? I'm just wondering, but I 650 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,040 Speaker 1: don't know. But he sounded when you listen to that question, 651 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 1: it sounded like he listens to the show. Uh, and hey, 652 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: maybe Joe's listening. Maybe he's recognized that the reason this 653 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: show's growing so much and growing right a lot. I mean, 654 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 1: I think we need to start thinking about that possibility. Well, 655 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,879 Speaker 1: we definitely are right a lot. Also have great hair. 656 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: Last Hour next
