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 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: Sexton Show Podcast. Second hour of Clay and Buck starts

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: right now. Everybody, Thanks for joining us from all across

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: the country, and we have a few things that tie

5
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: together here, Mister Clay, I want to just walk us

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: through this for a moment. This is interesting because one

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: of our ongoing questions here is what is really the

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: endgame of all this Biden document stuff? Right? And I

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,959
Speaker 1: don't want to dive into that back and forth right now,

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: but we've been talking about it talking about the first

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: hour because something doesn't add up here. Is it just

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: sloppiness from Biden and or is it the system pushing

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Biden aside. There's a lot of things here that we

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: still are trying to figure out. But one part of

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: this is who would take over, right who would be

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: in the mix and the running. We've talked about Kamala

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: Harris obviously because she's the vice president, the most obvious,

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: although in the poll that I put out on Twitter,

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of responses, solid sixty plus percent think

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: that Biden's if Biden goes, it's in favor of Gavin Newsom,

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: which is interesting. I mean that is then likely to

22
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: be a floor. I could say this, I think with

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: a high level of confidence that the twenty twenty four elections,

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: should Gavin Newsom be the Democrat nominee, would be a

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: California versus Florida throwdown. In some capacity, Florida will be

26
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,559
Speaker 1: in there. It's one way or another. Should have buck

27
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: right like. Ultimately, those are the two sides of our

28
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: great national debate over the past several years. I agree.

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I actually was somebody who really I wanted

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders to be the Democrat nominee in the past,

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: because I think that what you get with Bernie Sanders

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: is more of a distillation of liberalism for Democrats today

33
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: without the veneer of just the sort of corporate interests

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: in the self dealing at the same level, which is

35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: what you get would say a Hillary Clinton. So I

36
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: think if you want to have a real throwdown of

37
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: belief systems and governing systems, notice how I say Florida,

38
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of you would agree it's

39
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna be Florida represented in some capacity on the GOP

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: side that I think you'd get ten to one odds

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: in favor of Right now, whether it's Trump or De Santis,

42
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be one of them. And you know

43
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: you can have your pickos to which one you think

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: it'll be. California. That with Newsom is interesting. I bring

45
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: it up though, because very interesting. You might have seen

46
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: this clay Over the weekend you had the mayor of

47
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: New York City, Eric Adams, went down to El Paso, Texas. Now,

48
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: as somebody who has made the journey from New York

49
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: to El Paso in the past, it's not a quick flight,

50
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: not an easy one to do. So there was a

51
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: reason for this, and I think a lot of people

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: are starting to see this as a possible And I

53
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: would ask you if you think that this is a

54
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: moment where Adams is trying to step out into the

55
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: national on the national stage at a moment of weakness

56
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: for Biden. Are these things all tied together? And then

57
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: I want to dive in with you to what the

58
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: actual border realities are and how it affects New York.

59
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: But first, is Eric Adams testing the waters a little

60
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: bit here? It's it's such a good question, and I'm

61
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: pausing for a moment because I don't know that Eric

62
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Adams has the political cashet to be making a strong

63
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: strategic play like this intentionally. Does that make sense? Like

64
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: I believe that there are politicians like Gavin Newsom showing

65
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: up at the White House and rolling up his sleeves

66
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: wacically he's like, I've got plenty of headroom and this

67
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: and this. You know, often when Joe I mean when

68
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: you visit the White House when Joe Biden isn't there,

69
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: it is among the most disrespectful things that I have

70
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: ever seen a politician do. Right, um, and and then

71
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: you'd meet the media and everything else. Like that was

72
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: not by accident. That was Gavin Newsom being a cold Yes, yes, uh.

73
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: I feel like Eric Adams is a guy who on

74
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: some level recognizes that Democrats have gone insane. Like I

75
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: feel like this Buck, if you, me and Eric Adams

76
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: sat down at a table in in New York City,

77
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: probably late at night, because he seems to be liked

78
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: to get out late at night. Yes, but if we

79
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: sat down a table with him, I feel like we'd

80
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: probably like him, right because I think he would say

81
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: many things that we would agree with. You know, you

82
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: got to get the crime down in New York City.

83
00:04:55,120 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: This idea of all of these immigrants coming into the

84
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: the city of New York that he clearly loves is unacceptable.

85
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: So I think he's diagnosing that there are problems. I'm

86
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: not sure that he's diagnosing that there are problems and

87
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: putting forth solutions. Does that make sense? Like so in

88
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: terms of whether it's calculated going to El Paso to

89
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: recognize that there is an issue, there is a calculated decision.

90
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: Is it calculated in the sense of I have a

91
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: solution to this? I don't know. I would love it

92
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: if he challenged Joe Biden, because I do think that

93
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: would be fascinating to see how the political aspects of

94
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: it would play out. I'm not sure that he's planning it,

95
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. So a few things that I

96
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: think come into this. So that's on the political side.

97
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: Then back to the border component of this, which is

98
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: still a huge story. That is and I think this

99
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: is a reminder for everybody that the US Mexico and border.

100
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: I think so much of the mentality that you see

101
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: in the media about it is, yeah, this is a

102
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: thing that Texas and Arizona and you know, and to

103
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: a lesser extent, California have to deal with. But you know,

104
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, obviously there a few other states along the

105
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: border that you could throw in there, but it actually

106
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: affects New York City very directly. The greatest concentration of

107
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants in the United States is New York City.

108
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: And what's interesting is that when when Eric Adams made

109
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: this visit down to the border, some of the migrants

110
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: we're saying to him, Oh, well, you're like the best

111
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: for taking in illegal migrants. I don't mean the best

112
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: isn't like the best guy, Oh maybe, but New York

113
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: gives the best benefits. New York is a place that

114
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: has been so so welcoming in this sense. And Eric Adams, meanwhile,

115
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: let's give everybody's sense of this is saying there is

116
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: no more room for migrants. This needs to stop. His

117
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: city cannot handle this. Now. This is fascinating, and I think,

118
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: in part Clay to your point about how he does

119
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: have us streak of the sensible for a democrat, um,

120
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: he does have some aspects of policy that I think

121
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: are zeering toward common sense. He has not been a

122
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: good mayor so far of New York, but he hasn't

123
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: been actively destroying the city, which is I think. But

124
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: Bill de Blasio did. Bill de Blasio was like, sorry,

125
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: if we have to ruin this place, as long as

126
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: there's more social justice, and I feel good about myself

127
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: when I'm smoking lots of weed. By the way, that's

128
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: de Blasio well known to be a big, big weed smoker. Um,

129
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: there's true story. Actually there are. There are guys I

130
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: knew people that were knew I knew people that knew

131
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: people on his detail and de Blasio was a fan

132
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: of smoking smoking the weed anyway. Um, I think that

133
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: Adams recognizes that when you see there's more money, and

134
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: this goes right to the heart of the illegal immigration issue.

135
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: There is more money going to house illegal migrants right

136
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: now than money that is going toward um New Yorkers

137
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: that lackshall are altogether, so effectively, they're starting to spend

138
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: more money on the people who aren't even supposed to

139
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: be the country in the first place. This is beginning

140
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: to happen than the people who are having a really

141
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: hard time, who are New Yorkers of all backgrounds, but yes,

142
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: in New York disproportionately for talking to people who lack housing,

143
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: they're black and Hispanic New Yorkers. So people are looking

144
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: at us as saying, what are the priorities here? Well, Buck,

145
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm still kind of caught up on the politics of it,

146
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: and I think he might be hitting something that's really fascinating.

147
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: If everybody else is clear in the deck for Joe

148
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: Biden and they're basically saying Biden's going to be the guy,

149
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: we're not challenging him. What if Eric Adams was the

150
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: only Democrat to run against him, And how would Eric

151
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: Adams play they're trying to redo the calendar. How would

152
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: Eric Adams play in South Carolina? You got a black

153
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: guy that would connect, I think with a lot of

154
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: black South Carolinians in many of the things that he

155
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: would be saying versus James Clyburne, who is a very

156
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: popular and powerful black politician who many of you will remember,

157
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: basically said Joe Biden is my guy, and that got

158
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Joe Biden the nomination and then the presidency. And if

159
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm sitting back and looking at this in a calculated fashion,

160
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: and again I don't know who advises Eric Adams and

161
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: what his team would look like, but if everybody else

162
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: is clear in the deck, and Eric Adams recognizes that

163
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has some common sense vulnerabilities that he is

164
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: a black former police captain who is now the mayor

165
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: of the biggest city in the United States. And Buck,

166
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: I would say, the murder rate went down in New

167
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: York City in twenty twenty two. So if you're Eric

168
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: Adams and you're trying to think of a big, strong

169
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: argument that you could make, you could say, Hey, I

170
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: became mayor of New York and we reversed the murder

171
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: rate climb. Now it's still far too high, and it's

172
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: up massively since twenty nineteen. But you know what, I'm

173
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: starting to see the political calculus that could be running

174
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: through his head. And look, you don't win necessarily, but

175
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: if you challenge Joe Biden and make yourself a major

176
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: national figure, can you beat Kamala Harris in twenty eight?

177
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: I think he's probably better at than Kamala in twenty eight. Yeah,

178
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: by the way, I love this idea. Now, Buck bild

179
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: de Blasio claims, not just because I've kind of vixated

180
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: on this for a second, that he has he has

181
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: not smoked weed since college. I do not believe him. Okay,

182
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: that's because there are people asking him all the time,

183
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: because there have been rumors about this, and I've heard

184
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: from people who have heard from people that if he's

185
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: spend a time around the guy, I don't know, but

186
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: he claims to set the record straight that that does

187
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: not happen. But I've heard from people think I'm actually

188
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: surprised that he would deny it just because I would

189
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: have hurt him in Democrat politics in New York City

190
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: if he admitted that he liked It's interesting, well, because

191
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: he wasn't for he wasn't as full on for legalization

192
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: as I think some people anticipated that he that he

193
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: would be. But anyway, just to set the record straight,

194
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: he says that he didn't even though I've heard from

195
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: people who would know that he does anyway, but who knows.

196
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: I wasn't there. Um As for Eric Adams and his

197
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: presidential aspirations, if they exist, I think that that's going

198
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: to be a case where it will all come down

199
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: to the to the record in New York City in

200
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. And you know, sorry, but isn't

201
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: it you lived in New York City for a long time.

202
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: Isn't it also incredibly elevating if he were the only

203
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: guy to run against Biden? I mean, he doesn't seem

204
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: like he's a part of the cool kids club where

205
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: everybody would be like, oh, you know, in DC, this

206
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden's time, don't step on his toes. Seems

207
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: like he might be willing to do that. Yeah, I mean,

208
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: I think he's an interesting choice. If you're gonna see

209
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: some kind of a an open primary situation where you

210
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: have a lot of different candidates who are at least

211
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: vying behind closed doors to take over from Biden, I

212
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: think you'd have to have if you're not gonna have

213
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: Kamala as just the person stepping in, and I think

214
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: you would, But if you're gonna have an open primary

215
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: and not just a coronation for Kamala, you could well

216
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: have Eric Adams get involved. But but I also on

217
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: just the immigration side of this again for a second,

218
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: that he goes down there, because right now the House

219
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: Republicans are considering a vote of impeachment against Mayorcas, and

220
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: I get it, and I'm all for holding these individuals accountable,

221
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: but you're going to impeae somebody who's gonna get replaced

222
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: if even he was removed, which is not going to happen,

223
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: but if he were removed from office, you get replaced

224
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: with somebody who does the bidding of the machine just

225
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: the same way. It isn't really as long as Joe

226
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Biden gets to a point the head of DHS. Now

227
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: you could say, well he lied or he's you know,

228
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: he's been particularly bad, okay, but the policy doesn't change

229
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: if Mayorcas goes. And I just think it's interesting that

230
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: Eric Adams, because he has to look at city budgets

231
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: and the reality of New York, which I think has

232
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: a huge budget train coming down the tracks. They got

233
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: problems with where this budget is heading. As a lot

234
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: of people have fled New York City in particular, there's

235
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: a huge echo you're seeing. One of the big debates

236
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: about illegal immigration has been does this cost taxpayers a

237
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: lot of additional money? Are Is there a drain on

238
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: resources that you will feel in your city or in

239
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: your state from illegal immigration. The answer must be yes,

240
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: because the Democrat mayor of New York City is saying,

241
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: no more room for migrants, we can't afford them. It's

242
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: not only that bucket's the conjunction of too many migrants

243
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: with all of the high taxpayers of New York City

244
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: fleeing because Kathy Hokel said, why don't you guys just

245
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: all move to Florida. So it's the combination of rising

246
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: expenses declining revenue, which is anybody who does basic business

247
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: knows ain't a position that you want to be in.

248
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk to fellow gun owners for a second.

249
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: You have to get yourself set up with a Mantis X.

250
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: This has become a must have to keep your skills sharp.

251
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: Let's lets you train from anywhere because it's an electronic,

252
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: no AMMO way of improving your shooting accuracy and it's

253
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: fun too. The mantis X is a firearms training system.

254
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: You can use it at home, outdoors, at the range,

255
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: wherever you are. Simply attaches to your firearm like a

256
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: weapon light. The mantis X gives you data driven real

257
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: time feedback on your technique and guides you through drills

258
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: and courses. Nearly everyone that uses it ninety four percent

259
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: of them improve within twenty minutes. Even around military are

260
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: using the mantis X. It saves money on AMMO and

261
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: allows for training anywhere, including doing it from home in

262
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: the living room wherever. The mantis X gets you military

263
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: grade technology at an affordable price to sharpen your shooting skills.

264
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: If you believe in your Second Amendment rights, you gotta

265
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: take them seriously, and that means being competent in your

266
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: shooting ability. So start improving your shooting accuracy today and

267
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,000

Speaker 1: He's Buck Sexton, He's Clay Travis. Together they're breathing sanity

272
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: into an insane world. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck

273
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We're about to be joined by our friends,

274
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson. But he went on Meet the Press

275
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and I think you guys are going

276
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: to love this because he didn't back down and he

277
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: got the host there really fired up. Let's listen to

278
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: a couple of clips here so you have an idea

279
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: when we're asking Ron Johnson about this in a few minutes.

280
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: Have you been interviewed by the FBI or the Special

281
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: Counsel's Office investigating the Alternative elector No, there's nothing to

282
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: interview me about. I've played no role in at whatsoever.

283
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: This has been a complete smear job against me. The

284
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: January should say, is you dabbled in so much of this?

285
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Do you understand why somebody might have thought you were

286
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: willing to go along with this stent. I did not

287
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: dabble in very much of this. It's just false. I

288
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty examining the irregulars the twenty twenty election. What

289
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: you ought to do is go back and read my

290
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: opening statement, and that pretty well lays out exactly what

291
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: I thought about the twenty twenty election. But the news

292
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: media never does that. They smear me, they lie about me,

293
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: they make these things up. All right. Then I want

294
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: to play this one too, because I think this tells

295
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: on Chuck Todd far more this is meet the Press

296
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: than it tells on Ron Johnson. Chuck Todd tries to

297
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: lecture him about needing to go back into his partisan

298
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: cable cocoon. Listen, Senate Democrats want to investigate Jared Kushner's

299
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: loan from the Cuttery government when he was working in

300
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: the government negotiating many things in the Middle East? Are

301
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: you not concerned about that? And I say that because

302
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: it seems to me if you're concerned about what Hunter

303
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: Biden did. He should be equally outraged about what Jared

304
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: Kushner did. I'm concerned about getting the truth. I don't

305
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: target individuals. You're targeting Jared targeting an individual. Part of

306
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: the problem, and this is pretty obvious Danny by watching

307
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: this is you don't invite me on to interview me.

308
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: You invite me on to argue with me. Part of

309
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: the reasons our politics are inflamed as we do not

310
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: have an unbiased media, partisan cable. Look, you can go

311
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: back on your partisan cable cocoon and talk about media

312
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: biased all you want. I understand it's party of your identity.

313
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: Who getting a little saucy there from Chuck Todd who,

314
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: by the way, his argument is utterly moronic. Here, Oh yeah,

315
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: let's look at Hunter Biden and look at Jared Kushner.

316
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden is a literal crackhead who was selling access

317
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: to his dad getting paid millions dollars by China. I mean,

318
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: Jared Kushner was already a billionaire before Donald Trump even

319
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: ran for office. What's it? What's the illegality that he's

320
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: even a theoretically charged with It makes no sense, No,

321
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: it's nonsensical. Exactly, and Chuck Todd told on himself, I

322
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: think as much as he did anybody else. Bluetooth wireless

323
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: technology is so popular. It's an easy way of sharing

324
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: information between devices, right, that's for sure. But guess what.

325
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: Cyber criminals have found out a way to hack into

326
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: Bluetooth connections that gives them a way to steal your

327
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: personal info without you knowing. And it's so easy if

328
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: you use wireless earpieces, for instance, or regularly connect your

329
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: phone via card Bluetooth, cyber hackers have figured out how

330
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: to access your private information on your cell phone. It's

331
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting

332
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: our lives. Your personal information gets exposed so often, but

Speaker 1: We have with us now, right, isn't it now? I

345
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: believe yes. Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who won that pivotal,

346
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: pivotal battle against his competition. Senator Johnson, thanks for being

347
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: with us. Well, Graves, how are you doing so? You

348
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a throwdown there, which I

349
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: feel like those are increasingly rare on cable news these days.

350
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: But you had a bit of a throwdown with Chuck Todd.

351
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: What was his Let me ask the senator what was

352
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: his beef about? What was he all fired up with

353
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: you about? Well? It was interesting. This is almost two

354
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: years of the day where he had me on Meet

355
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: the Press following January sixth, and like the conversation didn't

356
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: even progress. He doesn't like to hear what I say,

357
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: and so he starts talking over me. As I said

358
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: in the interview of Senate Interview US an argument. But

359
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: what he doesn't want to hear is that the mainstream media,

360
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: because of their bias, they are exacerbating dividing this country

361
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: that they if they won't admit it, I mean the

362
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: fact that they ignore all the wrongdoing of the FBI,

363
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice, of Democrats, of the Biden family.

364
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: All they focused in is on is Trump Trump Trump,

365
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: Trump Trump, when we know as conservatives that they are

366
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: all kinds of problems within government, within these federal agencies,

367
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: or whether we're talking about the miserable, miserably failed response

368
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: to COVID, the corruption of the FBI. Mean, just at

369
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: a minimum, take a look at what the FBI did

370
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: surrounding Hunter Biden's computer. They get the thing in December

371
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen, they spend the next nine months laying

372
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,199
Speaker 1: the groundwork to sabotage. Should mciaac ever have the courage

373
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: after he's been worn by the way the FBI on

374
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: the way out the door warns him, you know, it's

375
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: our experience that the people don't talk, don't get in trouble,

376
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: and so he didn't have the courage to reveal that

377
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: laptop and tell the day after Senator Grassling, my report issued,

378
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: and you said, well, senators are after this, I'll offer

379
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: to them. And then of course the FBI we went

380
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: to them to do our due deal. Just they want

381
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: to tell us squad about the fact that they actually

382
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: had that computer. So for nine months, the FBI's lamed

383
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: the groundwork to sabotage should MCIAAC ever reveal that computer.

384
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: And then, of course they apparently already had fifty one

385
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: intelligence officials lined up to write their own information operation

386
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: to tank that interfere in our election. So there's there's

387
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: such a larger story here. And I'm not downplaying the

388
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: classified information. I mean, Joe Biden ought to know this,

389
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: you know no better. It's it's hypocritical. Who knows what's

390
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: really happening here? This is such an odd story? Is

391
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: this just a further diversion operation? We're talking to Senator

392
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson Wisconsin. Much larger? Yeah, No, that's a that's

393
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: a fantastic question, one that Buck and I have been

394
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: debating for the past week or so to try to

395
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: figure out the larger context here. When I hear your fight,

396
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: your argument, however you want to classify it with Chuck Todd, Senator,

397
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: what it actually reflects to me is how desperate many

398
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: of these political figures in the media like Chuck Todd

399
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: are because I bet you see this too. Their overall

400
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: influence is diminishing in a hurry, and I would tie

401
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: it in. There was a story in the New York

402
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: Times recently complaining that Ron de Santis wasn't talking enough

403
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: to the New York Times, as if he needed to

404
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: talk to the New York Times, isn't In a large

405
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: context this, Senator Johnson just about the declining power of

406
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: these media hierarchies to continue to control our national discourse,

407
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: and so they're lashing out. That's what I really see

408
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: this as that's real possibility, but it's actually a shame. Yea.

409
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: We need a free press, We need an unbiased free press.

410
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: I would like a free press that holds both sides

411
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: equally accountable. You know one thing I learned in kindness

412
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: being the you know, the chairman of the STEM Investigatory Committee.

413
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: We need journals to be curious. We need them to

414
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: h dig for sources. People are far more willing to

415
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: talk to journalists as whistleblowers, and they are willing to

416
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: come forward to Congress because they don't believe the Congress

417
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: to keep their their identities confidential. So we need a

418
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: curious and unbiased media. But that's not what we have.

419
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: But we have a media that is by and large

420
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: part and parcel of the left, of the radical left,

421
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: and it's destroying this country. And that is that's exactly

422
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: what truck Todd doesn't want to hear. He wants to

423
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: somehow believe that he's an unbiased you know, processor Tim Russler,

424
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: He's not even close. None of these guys are. And

425
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: but that is just so destructive to our to our democracy. Okay,

426
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: we're going our response to COVID. If we would have

427
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: had an unbiased media, a curious media asking the FDA,

428
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: the CDC, now where's the data back and all this stuff,

429
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, should we may be exercises a little caution

430
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: with these this experimental gene therapy you we wouldn't. We wouldn't.

431
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: We would have had more emstus on early treatment with

432
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: chief generic drugs. I think hundreds thousands of lives would

433
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: have been saved. But again, the media doesn't want to

434
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: talk about that because they've been complicit in it. Speaking

435
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, you know, Senator, you mentioned

436
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: the Biden classified doc situation, which has obviously gotten a

437
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: lot of attention the last week or so a third

438
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: now iteration of the story or a third chapter of

439
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: the story has come out where there was yet again

440
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: they said, clay S turned out the show. Oh they've

441
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 1: done all the surging. No, actually they found some more.

442
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: Do you have even a working theory about or any ideas,

443
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: any kind of context you can give us for why

444
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: were they find who was finding this classified in the

445
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: first place? What do you think happened in that initial phase? Well,

446
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm not believing what I'm hearing. If

447
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: they discovered classified material and they wanted to expose this, okay,

448
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: what you would do, as you would do a thorough

449
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: search in every nook and cranny and you would expose

450
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: it all at once and be done with it. Yeah,

451
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: if that's not what's happened here at all. So this

452
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: story just sounds dirty to me. It makes no sense whatsoever.

453
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: I am highly suspicious. Again, Let's say, so there are

454
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: actors in our government. They're stock and trade is the

455
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: diversionary operations. I think that's exactly what the Russian inclusion

456
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: hoax was, and it worked. It works time and time again.

457
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: So they just keep, you know, implementing these diversionary operations

458
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: so I don't. I can't. I can't make header tails

459
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: of it. It certainly could be the mainstream media finally

460
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: just want to throw Joe Biden under the bus. But again,

461
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: the modified limited hangout here, I mean, the drip by

462
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: drip disclosure here is just bizarre to me. It makes

463
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: no sense whatsoever. Senator Ron Johnson joining us. Now, you

464
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: mentioned the COVID shots are earlier and people out there, no,

465
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: I say COVID shot because this is in no way

466
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: a vaccine positive story. Is that the Department of Defense

467
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: no longer requires the COVID shot for new recruits for

468
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: people who are serving in the military. But shouldn't we

469
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: go a step further, Senator, And I'm curious what you

470
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: would say about this, either voting to take away the

471
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: immunity that Maderna and Fizer received because I think it's

472
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: quite clear that they've engaged in fraud, and or allowing

473
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: plainiffs lawyers to file lawsuits. Because here's what I'm concerned about, Senator,

474
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people out there that are

475
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: seeing all these anecdotal stories of otherwise young people just

476
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: dropping dead, and we cover it at OutKick every single

477
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: day there's someone new twenties thirty, sometimes teenagers who just

478
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: suddenly are dying of heart attacks. Maybe those are connected

479
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: to the COVID shot, maybe they aren't. But don't we

480
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: owe the American public a full accounting of what these

481
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: shots have done, and also of holding these companies, which

482
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 1: were paid with taxpayer dollars, accountable for the product they

483
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: put out. We have, really do, and I don't see

484
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: how anybody can take a look at what's happening. You see,

485
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: these highly trained, in phenomenal shape of athletes just dropped

486
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: down the field at a far higher rate than has

487
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: ever been normal. These things aren't normal. I mean every

488
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: day you hear a new young celebrity or a new

489
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: young person dying in their sleep or just keeling over. Yeah,

490
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: that used to be rare. You would hear that, Okay,

491
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: this isn't normal. No, we need complete transparency, we complete honesty.

492
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: You know, I've been fighting for this for you know,

493
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: for the entire time of the pandemic. Our response and

494
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: pandemic has never made sense to me. The shutdowns there

495
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: not only ignoring, but the sabotage of really treatment, not

496
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: using caution, with this new gene therapy pushing on everybody

497
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: manning at everybody. We need a thorough accounting and yeah,

498
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean I think we have to take a look

499
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: at the entire vaccine laws in terms of how we

500
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: shield these companies these things. There's a great book, Turtles

501
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: All the Way Down, pretty well lays out the fact

502
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: we have never tested any of the vaccines on the

503
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: childhood schedule against the truth place Feeball. We need to

504
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: start asking a lot of questions. But the problem and

505
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: you know those guys, you know, a guy like me

506
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: ask that question, I amereily get labeled an anti vaccer,

507
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: which is you know, just right underneath I guess racist

508
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: and pedophile. But I'm going to keep asking those questions.

509
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: The only reason I ran again, quite honestly, is nobody

510
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: else is advocating for the vaccine injured. Nobody else is

511
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: making this point because fine large society, we are in

512
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: a complete state of denial in terms of what we

513
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: did to ourselves and how we've had our heads bared

514
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: and sand on this. But I'm going to be relentless

515
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: and trying to pursue the truth, exposed the truth so

516
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: that we can prevent further harms. Because right now there's

517
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: been a lot of harm done because the Anthony Fauci's,

518
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: the mainstream media, the COVID cartel in general, this has

519
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: to be exposed. American people's deserve the truth on this

520
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: as well. Well, we're excited you won. We started on

548
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: Welcome Back in Clay, Travis Buck, Sex and show our esteemed.

549
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: President Joe Biden decided he wanted to celebrate Martin Luther

550
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: King Day by singing Happy Birthday to Martin Luther King

551
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: the Third's wife. Her name is Andrea, her last name

552
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: clearly King. So Biden is adlimbing and freelancing. When he

553
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 1: goes off, they can't read the teleprompter. But when he

554
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: goes off the teleprompter things do not go well. He

555
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: decides to sing happy I Share this just happened he

556
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: decides to sing Happy birthday to her and clearly forgets

557
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: her name. This feels like a scene with Michael Scott

558
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: from the Office. Unfortunately it is real and this is

559
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: our leader of the free world. Joe Biden seeing Happy

560
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: Birthday to MLK the Third's wife. Well, look, my wife

561
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: has a rule in our family on somebody's birthday is

562
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: sing happy birthday. You're ready, Happy birthday to you, Happy

563
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: birthday to you, Happy birthday, DearS, Happy birthday to you.

564
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: Oh my, can we just get the last little bit

565
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: there where he I don't even know what name he's

566
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: even tempting to camouflage there. First of all, he could

567
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: have just said missus King. Right, we know that she

568
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 1: is Martin Luther King's wife the Thirds, so her name

569
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: as King, but her first name is Andrea. We just

570
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: grabbed that audio of what he says. Buck. I would

571
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: love to have seen the Biden advisors when this started.

572
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: Remember it wasn't very long ago when Biden was looking

573
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: out in a in a room in the White House

574
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: and tried to give credit to an Indiana congresswoman who

575
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: had died when he said where's Jackie. Now he's trying

576
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: to sing happy birthday to someone who clearly has no

577
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: idea what her name is. I wonder at what point

578
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: during the singing it became aware to him that this

579
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: was not going to go well. There was a long

580
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: time in DC, so I had, you know, a two

581
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: DC periods of my life. One was a CIA guy

582
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: and then the other was as a media person, right, um,

583
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: and I moved back to New York in the intern

584
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: between those two. But I remember, I remember in the

585
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: early two thousands, people just thought Joe Biden was really dumb. Yeah,

586
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this was this was a common This isn't

587
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: like I came up with this out of nowhere, and

588
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: it's not you know, they all side of that. George W.

589
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: Bush was so dumb when he was running for president.

590
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: But you've never heard about that beforehand. With Biden. It

591
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: was something that even Democrats said, right, It wasn't just

592
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: some profit. By the way, I don't think George W.

593
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: Bush was dumb. I thought that was something that was

594
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: largely manufactured. Not always great on his feet, doesn't always

595
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: not always the most public speaker, yeah, the most exactly

596
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: lacking an eloquence sometime, sure, But George W. Bush was

597
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: not actually dumb. At all. That's not And I spent

598
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: time talking to the man about some really heavy stuff

599
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: and he's a smart he's a smart guy on issues

600
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: that he had to be, so that was unfair. But

601
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: I just bring up the Biden thing because I mean,

602
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,719
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. It's it's always been. He's not that smart.

603
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: He says things that have to be cleaned up all

604
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: the time. He's a gaff machine. And yet somehow they

605
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: voiced this guy and as this president like it actually

606
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: does take moments for you to just gather together how

607
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: crazy the situation is. And I know he forgot of

608
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: course he forgot Clay. He saven years old. I don't

609
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: think he ever knew her name. But let's just listen again.

610
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: Her name is Andrea. We know that her last name

611
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 1: is King. Here is Joe Biden using I'm not even

612
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: sure what name he's trying to say. Here, Happy birthday,

613
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: dear have I mean buck, you know what this is

614
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: like that you ever ever? Are you ever singing a song?

615
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: You know you're caught and you're up in it and

616
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, little mamma, let me like you know,

617
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: you kind of do the like the mumbling thing because

618
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: you don't know the words. Yeah, It's like it's like

619
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: when you get to the second verse of a popular song,

620
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: and most people don't get to the second verse of

621
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: brock I think. I think it's black Black, Black Crows,

622
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: right the You know, there's that song where he speaks

623
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: really fast, he goes really fast, and like, no one

624
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: knows the words of that song. There are a lot

625
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: of songs where I just have to sort of hum

626
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: the words, like I have no idea, but the freelancing

627
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: to do that in such a cringe, uncomfortable way. It

628
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: is unbelievable to me that this guy is making any

629
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: decision that matters on any level. Like if Joe Biden

630
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: weren't president, his wife would never let him pick the

631
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: restaurant that they go to, right, I mean, doctor Joe

632
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: Biden doesn't let her husband. And look, I get it.

633
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: I make very few decisions that matter in my house.

634
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: But it's not because I'm cognitively impaired. It's just herd.

635
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: If your brain worked well, you know her last name,

636
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: at least you could give her the signifier of miss King.

637
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: It's Martin Luther King day. The reason you're honoring her

638
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: is because she's married to MLK the third, the grandson

639
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: of Martin Luther King. But my goodness, this is just

640
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: you could put together all of these different clips. The

641
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: thing is, we saw John Fetterman get elected. Buck, My

642
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: concern is nobody's gonna care. But he's getting worse every

643
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: single day, week, month. But the thing is, again, like

644
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: if he forgets the words to a song, if he

645
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: forgets where he left is classified. Whatever he forgets is

646
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: totally understandable, or if he forgets a person's name, you know,

647
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: depending whatever it may be. Because the guy is too

648
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 1: old for the job and shouldn't be president. Yes, right,

649
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: So we keep coming back to this, but it's like

650
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: if we notice that we're a bad person, and we're

651
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: supposed to pretend like there's no issue here, but there

652
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: clearly is an issue here. This is why Americans across

653
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: the board don't want somebody who is eighty years old

654
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: or older to be president of the United States. And

655
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: that's not saying that every single person out there listening.

656
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: Some of you are over eighty and far more cognitively

657
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: in control than Joe Biden is, but you can't be

658
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: president until you're thirty five. Imagine if they had said

659
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: You can't be president after you're sixty five. You know

660
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: you can't fly an airplane after sixty five. Why it's

661
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: Biden president
