I think we're just going to joy 6 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: ride in the wreckage of the Cheney January sixth, Oh, 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: we're going to hold Trump accountable narrative. She will not 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: be the congresswoman from Wyoming much longer. Got some other 9 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: results in Alaska. Will break that down for you. Joe Biden, 10 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: or as they're now calling him, Aviator Joe, because he's 11 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: cruel and hip and he's in command and it's not 12 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: like they're putting big dark glasses on him, so you 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 1: can't see that he looks confused most of the time. 14 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: They're trying this last second rebrand of Joe Biden after 15 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: a summer where they were basically agreeing, Oh my gosh, 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: this guy is in decline, cognitive decline. This guy's going 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: into senility and dementia territory. Now it's oh no, he's 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: he's ready. Just put him in the cockpit alongside Maverick 19 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: with his aviators he's so with it. We'll discuss that 20 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: rebranding effort, the latest on whether they're gonna unseal the Affidavid, 21 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: the accompanying affidavit for the search warrant of Palm Beach, 22 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: the raid on Trump, and some more COVID stuff. On 23 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: the one hand, they're kind of admitting they always admitted 24 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: in this way that uses this these weasel words and 25 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: this this uh mushy language about how you know, well 26 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: as the data shifts and our prognostications they were wrong, 27 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: including about get ready for this one six feet of 28 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: social distancing. What a shock. But Canada has taken another 29 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: step into Vac's world, which Clay will be breaking down 30 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: for us here at a moment. But it takes it 31 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: takes gall honestly to go on TV and not courage 32 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: because they're being compensated for this, and they're megalomaniacs and 33 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: their narcissists and they're selfish. But it does take a 34 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: certain hutzpah, that's a good word for it, to go 35 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: and present yourself as a Republican who only spends time 36 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: attacking other Republicans, like your job as the one true 37 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: Republican is to undermine everything that the GOP and Yes 38 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: Trump and the Trump movement stands for Liz Cheney has 39 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: been pulling that routine too much applause from Democrats the 40 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: strange found new respect Clay that they have for Liz 41 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: Cheney and Democrats circles. I don't agree with her, but 42 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: she shows so much gumption, so much backbone. In fact, Clay, 43 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: she even compares herself to Abraham Lincoln, the great and 44 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: original champion of our party. Abraham Lincoln was defeated in 45 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 1: elections for the Senate and the House before he won 46 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: the most important election of all. Lincoln ultimately prevailed. He 47 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: saved our union, and he defined our obligation as Americans 48 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: for all of history. Speaking at Gettysburg of the great 49 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: task remaining before us, Lincoln said that we here highly 50 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: resolve that these deads shall not have died in vain, 51 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: that this nation under God shall have a new birth 52 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, 53 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: and for the people shall not perish from this earth. 54 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: As we meet here tonight, that remains our greatest and 55 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: most important task. She should be on Mount Rushmore. Clay, 56 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: obviously in honor of Abraham Lincoln. She only lost by 57 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: two score votes. I think I got that right, four 58 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: score eighty some odd years. Yeah, she lost by almost 59 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: forty points in Wyoming. Buck, I'm looking at the current 60 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: results sixty six to twenty nine with around ninety five 61 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,839 Speaker 1: percent of the vote in so thirty if my math 62 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: is right, thirty seven points she lost by in Wyoming. 63 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: And this might be the most delusional speech that we 64 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: have seen. This is like not making your high school 65 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: basketball team and declaring for the NBA. Because what she's 66 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: trying to do now is she's not good enough to 67 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: win a congressional seat in Wyoming, but instead she's going 68 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: to declare to run for president of the United States. 69 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: And make no mistake, I'll tell you the next two 70 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: years and how this plays out, she's gonna raise tens 71 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: of millions unfortunately, Buck, maybe even a hundreds of millions 72 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: of dollars, so that Trump can be directly attacked. And 73 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: if it weren't Trump, it would be Ron Destantus or 74 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: whoever's running in twenty twenty four. She's going to get 75 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: on the debate stage. Initially, they're probably gonna have to 76 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: come up with the new criteria to keep her off 77 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: the debate stage because she'll get one or two percent 78 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: of the of the vote right, and she'll spend hundreds 79 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars trying to destroy the Republican candidate. 80 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: Then she'll announce she was treated unfairly by the Republican 81 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: Party as a part of the race. I'm just telling 82 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: you what's going to happen, and therefore, for democracy, to 83 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: save Republicans from themselves, she is going to launch an 84 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: independent campaign to run for president in twenty twenty four, 85 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: with the idea being that she might take away some 86 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: small scintilla a vote that otherwise would go to Trump. 87 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: And potentially this has been done before, by the way, 88 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: So what I agree with what her plan is, although 89 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure she will be able to execute 90 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: on that pointless and worthless plan. I mean, Evan McMullen, 91 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: remember that guy he ran and you know, you know 92 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: he ran for president. No one even remembers the guy anymore. 93 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: She'll have the resources, though, to get on the ballots Buck, 94 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: That's what's going to be frustrating. They'll spend hundreds of 95 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: millions of dollars to find a way to get him. 96 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: I don't think she's going to raise hundreds of millions 97 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: of I think she'll raise hundreds of millions of dollars 98 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: because Clay, at some level, that amount of money is 99 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: going to detract from what they can actually put toward 100 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: the Democrat, right, I mean, you know the millions, millions, yes, 101 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions. How much did the Lincoln project, right, 102 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: I think about seventy million, but that was over the 103 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: course of a number of years. And also nay, they're 104 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: not raising seventy million again, my friend, they've had some problems. 105 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: I think that she'll be I mean, there's so much 106 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: more money being spent in politics now, like every election cycle. 107 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: I think there's more money being spent in twenty twenty. 108 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: It's a billion on both sides now a billions more. 109 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: It's in the billions, I should say, on both sides. 110 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: I mean, and so I think she'll be able to 111 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: raise one hundred million dollars or more because that's how 112 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: much people hate Trump and they'll try the hardest to 113 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: get him on, to get her on in Georgia, to 114 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: get her on in Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, any 115 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: state that they think is going to be close, they'll 116 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: spend whatever it takes to get her on the ballot. 117 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: And I think it's important that we all understand what 118 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: Liz Chenney has become. Whatever her voting record was before, 119 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: whatever her espoused principles were before, she is now a 120 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: false flag Republican, meaning, in no real way is she 121 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: somebody who is working for the benefit of anybody who 122 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: believes in Republican values, policy platform, you name it across 123 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: the country, to people who want less government, who want 124 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: to secure border, who want less crime on the streets, 125 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: who want lower taxation, who believe in Second Amendment rights, 126 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: who believe in First Amendment rights, which is now a 127 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: conservative value because the left has abandoned and is in 128 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: fact openly attacking the First Amendment, both on religious and 129 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: free speech grounds and every way they can. Liz Cheney 130 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: undermines all of that. And she does it because she 131 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: is monomaniacal. She is obsessed with Donald Trump, as if somehow, 132 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: even if she got her way, all these other problems 133 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: would be solved everything if Trump said I'm retiring tomorrow, Well, 134 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: what does Liz Cheney stand for then? And by the way, 135 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: I'm just going to point this out. The Bush chaining 136 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: legacy for the Republican Party is a disaster, folks, all right, 137 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: if we're really gonna call it like it is here. 138 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: And I think George W. Bush was a nice guy. 139 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: It briefed him a couple of times back in the day. 140 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 1: Rock War Afghanistan War did not turn out well. Hand 141 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: it over the government to Barack Obama after the biggest 142 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: recession we had had since the Great Depression. Not a 143 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: lot to point to you to say, yeah, this is 144 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: I think. I think George W. Bush is the worst 145 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: president there. I'd understand there's still some Bush people out there. 146 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: I think George W. Bush, if you look at it objectively, 147 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: is the worst president of the last forty or fifty. Oh, 148 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: Barack Obama's much worse than George I think George W. Bush. 149 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: I think George W. Bush is worse because the war 150 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: in Iraq, spending trilli This is one thing that Trump 151 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: got right, because almost no other Republican would say it. 152 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: Spending trillions of dollars like we did for nothing in 153 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: Iraq is indefensible in my mind for what he did there. 154 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: So look, Obama got a lot of things wrong. Certainly 155 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: Biden is, as should say, two term president. Because Biden 156 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: is the worst president of any of our lives. Let's 157 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: be honest. But two term president, it's hard for me 158 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: to point to George W. Bush and say, man, he 159 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: did a really good job on X. I mean, maybe 160 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: his initial response to nine to eleven when he rallied 161 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: everybody together did the initialing trillions of dollars. So to 162 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: be fair, the initial response to Afghanistan that was really 163 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: CIA led was brilliant and a massive success. And unfortunately 164 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: big Pentagon came in afterwards and it was Special Forces operators, 165 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: the elite of the elite, you know, working with the 166 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: intel community at presidential directive to take out al Qaeda 167 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: and the Taliban right after nine eleven. Then you had 168 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: the massive mission creep. All the things we said, oh 169 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: we don't do that, we know not that all happened 170 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: for twenty years, and now the Taliban and in fact 171 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: al Qaida basically is in charge again in Cobble. So 172 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: it went bad in a big way. Iraq I think 173 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: is in retrospect a massive blunder. And even Republican you agree. 174 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there were so many Republicans afraid to say it. 175 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: One thing that I think rallied a lot of people 176 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: behind Trump was he is a disruptive candidate, but he 177 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: also was looking at that clear eye because he wasn't 178 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: involved in it, right, He wasn't a politician who cast 179 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: a lot of votes on Iraq and everything else. And 180 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: he pointed out that it was a disaster. And that's 181 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: really when I think the rupture with bush Cheney world 182 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: started was they were angry that he attacked them. There. Yeah, 183 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, the right turns around, looks 184 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: at Bush Cheney and says, what exactly did you guys 185 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 1: accomplish here? What did you leave as the Republican Party 186 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: legacy and handing it over to eight years of Obamaism? 187 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: And keep in mind Obama was really among the only 188 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: Democrats running then there were a couple of other lower 189 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: level candidates who had not cast a vote this was important, 190 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: had not cast a vote for the Iraq war. Now, 191 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: he wasn't in office then, so he gets kind of 192 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: a pass. But the point is or not, you know, 193 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: he wasn't a senator, but it was certainly to his benefit. 194 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: But but bringing it back here to Cheney, um it. 195 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: First of all, I think we should give some credit 196 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: to Harriet Hagman, who ran a good campaign and she 197 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: didn't win by ten points. What was the final talent? 198 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: See here here she is saying a line has been 199 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: drawn in the sand. Wyoming has drawn a line in 200 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: the sand that if we put you in power, you 201 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: will be accountable to us. You will answer to us, 202 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: and you will do what is in our best interest, 203 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: and if you don't, we will fire you. And I 204 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: think that this is my line in the sand. I 205 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: obviously have a Trump supporter. You voted for from the 206 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: last election. I voted for him in two elections. I 207 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: think Trump did some fantastic things in office. And I 208 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 1: could sit here and go at length as I know 209 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: you can, and we do right, we talk about the 210 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: good things that he did. I also occasionally have criticized 211 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: some decisions that Trump made, and for the people that 212 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: are super Trump fans, Trump agrees with me on those now. 213 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: So he admits no one's perfect, right, so the idea 214 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: that anybody was perfect never made any sense. Trump did 215 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: the best he could under the circumstances, and a lot 216 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: of good things happened. And I think, I mean, compared 217 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: to Biden, it's just night and day. But for the 218 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: line of the sand has to be you can criticize Trump. 219 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: You can criticize anybody in the gup. And I don't 220 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: mean legally, I mean whether you're you know, still somebody 221 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: who cares about the Republican Party. But when you all 222 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden find yourself hating Trump so much that 223 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: you're going on TV, or you know, you're taking part 224 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 1: in a Stalinist show trial on Capitol Hill, or you're 225 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: going on TV and saying, we really don't need a wall. 226 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: Walls don't work when you abandon everything else. The Republican 227 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: Party stands for everything else that rational, sensible policy would dictate. 228 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: There's a problem. And that's what Liz Cheney started to do. 229 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: That's the that's the issue. Not only that buck she 230 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we know January six was a show trial. 231 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 1: She brought I believe the same Hollywood people to choreograph 232 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: that ridiculous speech where she compared herself to Abraham Lincoln. 233 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: I mean, this was all planned. When you lose by 234 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: thirty seven, you know you're not going to win, and 235 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: it's not going to be particularly close. And all of that. 236 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney calling Donald Trump the biggest threat to America 237 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: and the history of the country. I mean, it's also 238 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: overwrought and historyonic and I also loved the sloppy embrace 239 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: now that we're getting between Dick Cheney, who was the 240 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: most hated Republican ever probably in most of our lives, 241 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: by the left wing of the Democrat Party, and now 242 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're like, oh, I've always said 243 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: the Cheneys have always told. The truth is that the 244 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: strange found new respect, which we all put in quotes. 245 00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: This is just the convenient political weaponization of a false Republican, 246 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: which is what Cheney became. By the way, the value 247 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: of your home has likely increased by fifteen or twenty 248 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: percent over the last year. That's one of the good 249 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: results of a heated real estate market with homes in demand. 250 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: This means there's even more equity now in your home, 251 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: which unlocks all kinds of potential for you to pay 252 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: off any kind of high credit card balance, put aside 253 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: money for tuition, maybe for your kids, or other simple 254 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: issues that you may have in your budget thanks to 255 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: your home, which is why it's worth ten minutes of 256 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: your time to talk with the good people at American Financing. 257 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: Their salary based consultants will help you determine what the 258 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: value is of your home and what kind of equity 259 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: you might have in it.

Welcome back in Klake, Travis buck 269 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: Sexton Show, I'm still in laughing Buck during the commercial 270 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: break about Liz Cheney with her prewritten Hollywood speech from Wyoming. Again, 271 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: congratulation to Harriet Hagman, but the idea that she would 272 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: compare herself to Abraham Lincoln and then go on I 273 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: think she went on the Today Show this morning and 274 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: said I've got to decide about whether to run for 275 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: president in twenty twenty four or not. Is one of 276 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: the all time delusional political moves I can ever think of. 277 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: And again I made the joke it's like not making 278 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: your high school basketball team and then declaring for the 279 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: NBA if you lose by forty points almost in Wyoming State, 280 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: where you're a Chaney by the way too. Yeah, that's 281 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like you have every advantage in theory, 282 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: it's a home court advantage. And then you think to yourself, well, 283 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: this isn't the launching pad to my presidential campaign. I 284 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: can't think of a more delusion. I'm trying to think politically, 285 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: somebody who gets absolutely destroyed. I'm not talking about losing 286 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: a close race and being like, hey, I want to 287 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: run again, which happens all the time and politics. It's 288 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: about destroyed and running for a bigger office. I tell 289 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: you this. The most amusing thing back in the days 290 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: when I watched American Idol with my parents and with 291 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: the whole family sometimes and bad singers was the bad 292 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: singers who are like, oh, yeah, well I'm gonna go 293 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: triple platinum.

I will say this, 300 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: I was wrong. I thought it was a stunt that 301 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: would kind of just go down with a fizzle. He 302 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: was right, he I thought, because here's what, here's why 303 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: I made a mistake on that. I thought that the 304 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: Democrats would be smart enough to realize the political optics 305 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: of complaining about them. You know, if you're er academs, 306 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: you got to say, oh my gosh, I can't get 307 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: enough illegal migrants. This is amazing, We're so happy to have. 308 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: But nope, that's not what he said saying in DC. 309 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: What I make about a beato about is he lost 310 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: a close race to Ted Cruz and use that as 311 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: a catapult to run for president in twenty twenty. Now 312 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: that was a disaster and now he's gonna get smoked 313 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: by Greg abb But you can lose a race and argue, hey, 314 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: this is increased overall my brand awareness. You can't get 315 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: beat like Liz Cheney did and run for a bigger race, right. 316 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: The whole point and this is the Lincoln Project only 317 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: supports losers.

Give us 341 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: a call. Let us know what you think the border. 342 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: I gotta say I was expecting there to be some 343 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: effort by the Bidens. I always like to say where 344 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: I'm right and where I'm wrong. I've we raised the 345 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: alarm here a lot about the border clay it is. 346 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: And I speak to people at border patrol. Really, I'd 347 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: say every couple of weeks, I've got a few contacts 348 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: down there, I'll check in, I'll call them or or 349 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: I'll do a separate interview with them, just to get 350 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: the latest the border. Right now, the US Mexico border 351 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,400 Speaker 1: is the worst it has ever been. And for people 352 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: who live in Minneapolis or New York or far away 353 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 1: or I guess close to the northern border, but not 354 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: the same issue far away from our southern border. They 355 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: know that the Biden administration is using taxpayer dollars to 356 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: send illegal migrants on flights. Whether what's the paperwork they 357 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: need these flights? I go, I'm getting my Irish scanned. 358 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: I'm going through ts say like if you're an illegal. 359 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: It's actually a really good question, like how do they 360 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: just randomly put a bunch of illegal immigrants on an 361 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: airplane flight. I think they just put them on because 362 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: you know the different set of rules for the illegals 363 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: as and they can break even more laws. So sore 364 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: they're distributed every state as a border's state is the 365 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: phrase you hear, And that's true. I had thought at 366 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: this point the Biden administration would make some effort somehow 367 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: to make it seem like they don't want this illegal migration. 368 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: That usually the game the Democrats play. Stretching back to 369 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 1: the Obama administration, there was a time when even the 370 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: media criticism of Obama was he was the deporter in chief. 371 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: Do you remember that. It was a short while, yeah, 372 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: but they were. There were deportations going on under the 373 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: Obama administrations. Deportations have collapsed under the Biden administration. Just 374 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 1: so you all know, the deportations are way down. Interior 375 00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: enforcement has effectively ceased unless you're a serious violent felon. 376 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: That's causing some political problem for Democrats if it gets 377 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: into the newspapers, and even then sometimes they let people stay, 378 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: so wins your enforcement has plummeted. The remain in Mexico 379 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: policy has just been ended, unceremoniously ended by the Biden administrations. Yeah, 380 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: we're just not doing that anymore. So they won't change 381 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: the incentive structure that brings all these illegal migrants into 382 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: the country, illegal immigrants into the country. And now, Clay, 383 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: we've got these numbers of one point eight two million 384 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: arrests at the southern border in the government fiscal year, 385 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: which means October through the end of September. It looks 386 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: like they're gonna hit two million arrests. A huge percentage 387 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: of those two million are released into the country, never 388 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: to be seen by the authorities in any immigration proceeding. Again, 389 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: no one really knows the exact number. I would wager 390 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: at something along the order of sixty or seventy percent 391 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: at least, And that doesn't even include the goataways, which 392 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 1: is a number that border patrol contacts have told me 393 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: is officially I think half a million. They think that's 394 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: closer to eight or nine hundred thousand right now, getting close. 395 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: So you may have two million arrests resulting in maybe 396 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: one point two one point four million something like that 397 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: led into the country. And a million gataways who are 398 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: straight up in the country. This is the largest largest 399 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: illegal migration the country has ever seen. Yeah, look, Griff 400 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: Jenkins at Fox News just reported this morning, Buck that 401 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: migrant encounters have officially surpassed two million. And to put 402 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: that into context, last year's record setting numbers at this 403 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: point in time were one point two seven seven million. 404 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: So these are numbers we truly have never seen before 405 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: in the history of the country. And Joe Biden has 406 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: still never made a trip to the border in his 407 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: entire time on office. In office so far, and think 408 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: about all the places you made a point back when 409 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: the Ukraine invasion started. Joe Biden, it is fair to say, 410 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: has been far more concerned about border security in Ukraine 411 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: than he has border security in the United States. And 412 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: you asked the question they put in these illegal immigrants 413 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: on airplane flights. Remember, even though it's stupid, we still 414 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: have a policy that you can't come into this country 415 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: on a flight unless you have gotten the COVID shot. 416 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: That hasn't gone away yet. But if you walk across 417 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: the southern border, you are allowed to enter and they 418 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: won't even test you for COVID. So if you have 419 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: a family member who is a living overseas and is 420 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: trying to come visit you here, you have to have 421 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: they have to have received the COVID shot to come in. 422 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: If they want to come, walk across the southern border, 423 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: no frictions at all, and the American government will put 424 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: them on an airplane flight and put them somewhere else. 425 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: And this ties in what we were just saying the 426 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: last segment. The only way that any attention has been 427 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: given to this issue at all, buck is because Greg 428 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: Abbott made the decision to start bussing some of these 429 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants up to New York in DC and drop 430 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: them off there. That's the only coverage that most of 431 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: the mainstream media has given, and it's only been because 432 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: Muriel Bowser and Eric Adams have mishandled this to such 433 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: an extent that they're complaining about all of the influx 434 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: of illegal immigration, which is a pinprick of what's happening 435 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,719 Speaker 1: in Texas. I could go take about a three minute 436 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: stroll and go check in with some of the illegal 437 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: migrants who are now being housed at taxpayer expense in 438 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: a in a number of times square area luxury hotels 439 00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 1: in New York City. So this is now the country 440 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: we're in the Biden administration, So everyone understands us and 441 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: as folks are still trying to figure out how they're 442 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: going to pay their bills, what the economy is going 443 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: to look like for them in three months, in six months, 444 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of people pulling back on their spend. 445 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: People are running up credit card debt. You know, this 446 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: is an uncertain time for a lot of folks financially, 447 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: and I mean tens of millions across the country. The 448 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: Biden administration encourages illegal migrants to come in, will not 449 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: deport illegal immigrants, even those who break laws in this 450 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: country after they get in. INTERII enforcement has collapsed. They're 451 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: flying illegals at taxpayer expense, after providing food, medical care, shelter, 452 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: or everything else for the processing, flying them to places 453 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: as far as New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, you 454 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: name it all. Los Angeles is not very far from 455 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: the border, and now they're putting them up in luxury hotels, 456 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: which would cost if you and your family listening to 457 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: this go to some of these hotels, you're going to 458 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: spend three hundred dollars a night. Everybody if you're in 459 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: illegal The city of New York is now putting you 460 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: up in Times Square for free, and then you're going 461 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: to get free healthcare, and then you're going to get 462 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: free legal advice to beat immigration isn't by the way, 463 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: it's not free. It's all from the tax pay. Yeah, 464 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: no one. But if you were hearing all this on 465 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: text messages, if you were hearing all this on WhatsApp, 466 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: do you blame anybody for deciding to come here? I mean, 467 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: this is the incentive structure that we have created. If 468 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: you have an awful life in Latin America and you 469 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: suddenly hear that you can get on an airplane flight 470 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: to New York City and stay in a Times Square hotel, 471 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 1: I mean that sounds amazing, right, It's not a surprise. 472 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,479 Speaker 1: And this is why so many of the people walking 473 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: across the border are specifically citing Joe Biden's election as 474 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: the impetus behind their entire trip. And yet other than those, 475 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: other than those busses that Greg Abbott has sent to 476 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: the East coast, ze almost zero coverage of over two 477 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: million encounters now at the border. But you'll notice Democrats 478 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: want this, They like this, They perpetuate this, and also 479 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: it's directly tied into the overwhelming of border patrol, is 480 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: directly tied into the unprecedented amounts of fentanyl just flooding 481 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: into the country over one hundred thousand fatal overdoses last year. 482 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: And that's in every community. I mean, that's our people 483 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: listening in Kentucky, in Georgia, in Ohio. They know that's everywhere. 484 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: The fentoel is washing around the country. It's killing people 485 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: all over the place. This is all tied together. And 486 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: the Biden administration acts like they're not in favor of this. 487 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: It's dishonest. They are not in favor of the drug overdose, 488 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: but they're in favor of the wide open border, and 489 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: they refuse to do anything about it. And Clay if 490 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 1: they're if they had the courage of their convictions, they 491 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: should just say we should have open borders. They should 492 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: just say we're going to change the law. If you 493 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: come here, you get to stay, because it's basically what 494 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: we have. At least if you come from a non 495 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: English speaking developing world country and walk across the border, 496 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: you get to come here and stay. So we'll continue 497 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: to follow up on this, folks, because the American people 498 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: are not with the Biden administration on this, and it's 499 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: a top issue for a lot of independence not just Republicans. 500 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: The wide open border. We're going to continue to hammer that. 501 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: And COVID, by the way, which we're not forgetting here. 502 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: We got some mind I say this that I can 503 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: hear Clay cracking his knuckles on the other side.

A 534 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: lot of results coming in from Alaska and Wyoming in 535 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: the primaries last night, Buck, do you know what I did? 536 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,719 Speaker 1: I went to and I know there's been a lot 537 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: of discussion about this, so I don't know if it's controversial. 538 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: My sixth grader played his first tackle football game so 539 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: on his JV middle school team. I have never been 540 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: to one of my sons playing a tackle football. I 541 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: played a lot of flag football for the young kids, 542 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: and I know what age is appropriate to start kids 543 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: playing football. Has been a big discussion, but he absolutely 544 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: loved it. He's got seven games this season. Tuesday night 545 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: football football is here in the state of Tennessee. You 546 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: and I are going to be going up to Utah 547 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: tonight for the shows tomorrow on Friday. I know what 548 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: people are excited with Utah and BYU going on, there 549 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: will be dead in the state of Texas soon. But 550 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: is a famous phrase in the state of Tennessee, buck 551 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: it's football time in Tennessee as an announcement they would 552 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: always make and still do make as it's almost kickoff 553 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: time for the University of Tennessee football games up in Knoxville, 554 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: and so it's a pretty cool experience to get to 555 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: go to go watch. You know, I've got kids. I've 556 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: got a ninth grader, now, I got a sixth grader, 557 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: I got a second grader. But having a kid in 558 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: full pads playing a football game as a dad, you 559 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: start to think, man, my boys are kind of growing up. 560 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: In New York City, we have a famous phrase, Yes 561 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 1: that really is the rent. I'm not kidding you. Hear 562 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: that a lot from people, especially when you're with a 563 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: broker who wants like a month a month rent for 564 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: showing you something for thirty seconds. I little told me, 565 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: I think your rent is way more than my mortgage 566 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: on my house. My rent is right now just slightly 567 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: above the average. So I'm basically living in an average 568 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: price department. What did you say, It was almost five K? 569 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: Like average is five K. So that's basically out. So 570 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: now we're getting into the details of my life. But 571 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: everybody out there nationwide hearing that if you don't live 572 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: in New York or LA or maybe San Francisco. Five 573 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: the average. We're not talking about like the penthouse like high. 574 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: It is officially the officially the average. That is the 575 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: average apartment. Like that's sixty thousand dollars a year if 576 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: you live in an apartment in New York. If you 577 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: live in Oklahoma City, I live in the equivalent of 578 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: say a two hundred and forty or two hundred and 579 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars single family home. I live in the 580 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: New York City equivalent of that as an average home, 581 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: and it is a six hundred square foot apartment for 582 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: five Yet that's one of the things that I always 583 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: see the Times do that I think is kind of entertaining. 584 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: It is, what could you get for six hundred and 585 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars in Birmingham, Alabama or Oklahoma City. Do 586 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: you look at Nebraska and you feel like you must 587 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: get a knighthood along with it? And everyone has to 588 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: call you sir because you're not looking at houses. You're 589 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: looking at things for a couple of million dollars that 590 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: have a drawbridge and a moat, Like it's crazy. You're right, 591 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: And that's why I think, to some extent, this is 592 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: one of my big theories. I think a lot of 593 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 1: these cities New York, La, San Francisco, and I'm just 594 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 1: kind of picking on those in particular because we know 595 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: they have insanely high cost of living. You've seen so 596 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: many people in those cities say I can do my 597 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: job in a covid era and live in Boise, Idaho 598 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: and it's way more affordable. Or in Charlotte, North Carolina, 599 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: or you know, all these different I'm just throwing out 600 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: random cities right where people have decided interior of the 601 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: country a bit I can live way higher quality of life. 602 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: And I'll say this too and not have to worry 603 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 1: about the cost. One of the biggest changes that has occurred, really, 604 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: I think, like in both of our our lifetimes is 605 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: that because I used to go you know, my dad's 606 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: dad was from South Dakota and his mother was from 607 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: from from Virginia, sort of central western Virginia. So we 608 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: used to go visit Virginia in particular. We do this 609 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,240 Speaker 1: long road trip. We'd go around and it was always 610 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 1: interesting to sort of see this now we're talking about 611 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: back in the nineteen eighties, I mean, your best food 612 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 1: options in a lot of places were like IHOP. I 613 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: mean it was sort of standard chains and everything else. 614 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: Food quality of McDonald's food, right, McDonald's. I have food 615 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: quality across the country now is I mean, I really 616 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: mean across the country is leaps and bounds beyond where 617 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: it used to be. So what I'm saying is even 618 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: a small, you know, mid midsized, a smaller city is 619 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: going to have some great restaurants, is going to have 620 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: great produce. You know, you're you're in a different category. 621 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: So some of the advantages of being in high population 622 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: density areas are our have dissipated dramatically, food being one 623 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,240 Speaker 1: of them. And then you look at cost of living 624 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: based on housing, housing density, all these other things. I 625 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: think a lot of people are going to find themselves 626 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: not even moving into the burbs, moving into you know, 627 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: towns and more rural parts of the country. Because you 628 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: got great WIFEI you can bidening you want, you got 629 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: great food, that's close enough. I mean there's a lot 630 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: to recommend it. I'll ask you this, what do you 631 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: think most impressed me as a kid when I would 632 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: go I got to make a couple of trips to 633 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: New York City as a kid. Now, obviously the skyscrapers 634 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: things like that, but in terms of something that I 635 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: got to do that I couldn't do where I was 636 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,719 Speaker 1: growing up in the Nashville area. Oh, I mean, there's 637 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: no place on the planet that has the restaurant density 638 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: that this rests. But for a young kid, bookstore like 639 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: I could go into all of these bookstores all over 640 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 1: New York City because remember I had Walden Books that 641 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: was like the only bookstore that existed when I was 642 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: a kid growing up in Nashville. So you would go 643 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: in people out there who remember the mall, like the 644 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: Walden Bookstore didn't have very many books, and you didn't 645 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: have an Amazon where if you wanted to read a 646 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: book you could easily. They had everything in New York City. 647 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 1: So I was blown away by the bookstores. But just 648 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: an example you can find, I mean, like to your 649 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: point on the internet, like I love going on Amazon. 650 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 1: I shopped two places now, Buck Amazon and Costco. That's 651 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: pretty much the only place I buy anything. I might 652 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: I might be planning my honeymoon via Costco. And I'm 653 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: not kidding. By the way, Costco has got some great deals, 654 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: like amazing deals for honeymoon packages. I'm one hundred. I mean, 655 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: they've also got great deals on diamonds. Too late for 656 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: that one, unfortunately, But I'm learning some things here. Costco 657 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 1: is is amazing store. It is. I think I'm gonna 658 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,840 Speaker 1: take you to the Strand Bookstore by the way, the 659 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,360 Speaker 1: next time. You already loved that store, look at you. 660 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: Fleet Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines
