1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in everybody. Wednesday edition of The 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. A lot to break 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: down today. We have the aftermath of the celebration. That's right, 5 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: the Dow was down what twelve hundred plus points yesterday 6 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: could even give up the worst day since early twenty twenty, 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: worst day for the stock market of Biden's presidency, which 8 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: is saying something because there's been a lot of bad 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: ones unfortunately. So it was a really bad day in 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: the markets, and they were having a celebration at the 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: White House about how great they are when it comes 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: to inflation reduction and all the rest of it. We'll 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: discuss that in just a second. More just disorder, chaos, 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: lawlessness at the border. People taking photos of the encampments 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: on the streets of El Paso, Texas. I've been down 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: to El Paso before to see what's going on at 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: the border. It is on a big city. It is 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: not New York or Chicago. It is now overrun with 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: illegal migrants on the streets. The bid administration claiming that 20 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: they're dealing with this. That's something we definitely have to discuss. 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Big congratulations to Caroline Levitt who won her primary in 22 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: New Hampshire. We had her on just Monday of this 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: week and she won a big Republican primary up in 24 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: New Hampshire. Talk to you more about some of the 25 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: latest on the Poland class. An interesting number from data 26 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: numbers from the betting market. When it comes to where 27 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: this election is heading. The good news, folks is we're 28 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: moving in the right direction right now. The GOP writ large, 29 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: a phrase I try to avoid using, but I just did. 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: GOP overall is moving in the right direction. But we 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: got to keep the foot on the accelerator here if 32 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: we're going to take back the Senate that much as 33 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: for sure, we'll discuss all that. Oh and they went 34 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: after Look, they shred the Constitution, they weaponize the deep state, 35 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: they do all these crazy things. But they've now gone 36 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: even a step further and seize the phone of our 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: dear friend and sponsor of this program, Mike Lindell, the 38 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: founder of My pillow. The FBI grabbed him in a 39 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: heart ease, took his phone apparently, and we'll get into 40 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: We got a SoundBite from Mike on this told him 41 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: not to tell anybody about this, Clay, how dare they 42 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: go after our go after our friend. Mike Lindell not 43 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: a perfect slippers He goes to eat at heart Ease. 44 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: This guy is the best. I hope he was there 45 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: for the breakfast. The Hearty's breakfast is I think, not 46 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: take any shots at Hardy's, but I think the greatest 47 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: part of the Hardy's day. And they were one of 48 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: the first fast food places to really go all their 49 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: biscuits are incredible, So they were one of the first 50 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: fast food places to really go all in on breakfast. 51 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: And so I just I mean, look, we're kind of 52 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: making light of it, but this is wear overwhelming state 53 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 1: power moves to be taking citizens phones when they're out 54 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: at fast food restaurants. And just think about how this 55 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: is happening right before an election. Mike is, as everyone 56 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: listening to this nose a sponsor this program. I'm wearing 57 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: his slippers right now. Mike is a prolific and stalwart 58 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: sponsor of free speech and conservative content on Fox on 59 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: Radio for US and many other programs, many podcasts. It 60 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: is not a coincidence in my mind that they are 61 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: just happening to intimidate our friend Mike right before. Are 62 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: they gonna take our phones? Did you when you see 63 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: these all these people getting their phone sees, does any 64 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: part of you think maybe my phone's gonna get this 65 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: is gonna be some FBI agent show up at one 66 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: of our doors and take our phone. Well, probably not, 67 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: but hopefully. I mean, now you've gotten a little freaked out. 68 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: I don't know where. I don't know where it stops. 69 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: I mean maybe because we're in the media, there would 70 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: be less likelihood to have a phone taken. But would 71 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: it stun you? You know, if Sean Hannity or Tucker 72 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: or I mean, frankly, anybody who texted Trump or anyone 73 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: in Trump's inner circle leading up to and on January sixth, 74 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: anyone could well have their phone taken. Right now, now, 75 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: I wasn't in contact with the White House directly post election. 76 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm trying to think about this. I don't I don't 77 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: think I was post election pre January six But any 78 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: person who talked to or had a text exchange with Trump, 79 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: Don Junior, Mark Meadows, you know, go down the list 80 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: of people in that White House or around that White 81 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: House in the orbit of it, they could well have 82 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: their their phones taken. Well, we'll bring you, Mike explained 83 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: to himself. He put out a video on it yesterday. 84 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: We'll bring that to you coming up here in a moment. 85 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: But it was a bit surreal, Clay, you tied this 86 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: up yesterday that we looked at the CPI numbers. We say, 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: hold on a second, they're really gonna throw a victory 88 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: party at the White House when you have the Dow 89 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: having one of its worst top ten word first days ever. 90 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: Everyone who understands, we'll get into this in a second. 91 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: The recession is coming, folks. I mean, yes, you won't 92 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: find anybody already in a recession. But yeah, but the 93 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: pain don't exists. They're delaying the pain as much as 94 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: they can del after the election, I mean, here is 95 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: even here is CNN because they had this moment of 96 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: cognitive dissonance where Alison Camarata is talking about the Trump speech, 97 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the Biden speech, and on the stage, or 98 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: rather on the screen, they had the stock market plummeting 99 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: simultaneously with Biden saying not a joke, folks, everything's awesome. 100 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: So I thank the Republicans who stood up. Okay, you're 101 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: listening there to President Biden at the White House. He's 102 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: celebrating the passage of the Inflation and Reduction Act. He 103 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: says that he's been fighting big Pharma for decades. But 104 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: there is this unfortunate split screen right now with the 105 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: Dow taking a total beating down more than twelve hundred points, 106 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: and so it feels like it's hard to be celebratory 107 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: for some people in the crowds. Yeah, hard on which 108 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: the White House celebrates the Inflation Reduction Act when we 109 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: get a new report that shows that inflation is still 110 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: especially high, and what we're seeing on Wall Street is 111 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: a reaction to that, anticipating what's coming from the Fed, 112 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: the decision that will come on whether to increase or 113 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: likely they will increase, but by how much the interest rates. 114 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 1: So just the split screen is between reality and propaganda. Clay, 115 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: That's actually what CNN had to notice there, because the 116 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: numbers don't lie. When I saw this morning yesterday morning, 117 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: I was reading, you know, I start off, I read 118 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: the New York Times, Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, 119 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: I read the Axios morning. I think was where I 120 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: saw this. They have a Good Morning Emails sort of 121 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: distillation that I subscribe to and I every now and 122 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: then my jaw drops just when I see something that 123 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: is so dumb. I can't believe that it's possible. I 124 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: saw that they were celebrating the Inflation Reduction Act on 125 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: the day that the inflation numbers were coming out, and 126 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: this was early in the morning before they were released, 127 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: I think at eight thirty am Eastern, and I thought 128 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: to myself, this seems like a really bad idea. And Buck, 129 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 1: they get tipped off the night before in the White 130 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: House to what the numbers are gonna be like, I 131 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: don't know how many people get to see those numbers. 132 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: So they knew as they were preparing that sitting out 133 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: the chairs getting James was a James Taylor that they 134 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: had show up and sing a rand another another rich communist. Yes, 135 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: but as Steve Doocy pointed out this morning when I 136 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: was on Fox and Friends with him, the song is 137 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: actually about suicide and drug addiction, so that he was 138 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: singing an odd choice for a celebratory event anyway, And 139 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: I just I we know Biden is incognitive decline, Buck, 140 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: but every single adviser to Biden who signed off on 141 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,559 Speaker 1: this idea should be I heard, because they are too dumb. 142 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: To be advising any president. I don't think we can 143 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: even put this on Biden. Somebody pitched him the idea 144 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: and they did this, and they're too dumb to even 145 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: be allowed to be employed in the White House. In 146 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: my opinion. I would also note, have we ever had 147 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: a president before? There are a lot of things, A 148 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: lot of address is given outside. I know this seems small, 149 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: but I actually don't think it's small. This wearing of 150 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: massive sunglasses during public appearances. You think, have you ever 151 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: seen a president before give a public address with sunglasses 152 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: on like this? I mean, I don't know, maybe when 153 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: George w went to Baghdad or something, but generally they're 154 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: doing it so you can't really see his eyes and 155 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: his face, and so you can't see that his eyes 156 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: are glued to the prompter he's reading off it. It's 157 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: a high wire act. He could fall off at any moment. 158 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: This is meant to hide the cognitive decline. I don't 159 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: think it's a minor thing. The optics of this really matter, 160 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: and they need to think of the optics and the 161 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: theatrical of all of this. When you had we had 162 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: seen a m before, I mean Neil Cavudo with a 163 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: bit of a You know, Neil is a very very 164 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: even keeled, very reasonable guy. Had to give a bit 165 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: of a roundhouse kick here from reality Ville. Based on 166 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: the numbers that came out yesterday, big farmer block metacare 167 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: from negotiating lower drug practices. All right, I do not 168 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: want to be a party crasher, but we interrupt this 169 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: celebration for a hard cold dose of reality. Stocks tanking 170 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: because inflation is accelerating, the very inflation that the President 171 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: says he's made great progress addressing Fox on top of 172 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: a sell off the likes of which we've not seen 173 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: in quite some time. In percentage terms, the roughly four 174 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: percent hit in the Dow is the worst we've seen 175 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: in two years. Ditto the SMP five hundred and again 176 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: the NASDAC all hit and hit hard because inflation remains 177 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: stuck and no one can get it under control. That's 178 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: a cavudo flying elbow. Let's be honest. He's throwing one there, 179 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: but you're setting yourself up. I agree with you on 180 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: the sunglasses. They're making an optical choice that he looks 181 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: less old and dementia ridden if they cover up a 182 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: huge percentage of his face with those shades. They made 183 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: a calculated decision Buck to do this on this day, 184 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: and to do it at a time when the stock 185 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: market is still up on the screen, right. So, I 186 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: mean they could have done if they want to do 187 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: this stupid Inflation Reduction Acts celebration, they could have done 188 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: it at like five or six o'clock in the evening. 189 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: It's still daylight. They could still be outside in Washington, 190 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: they could still beat you know, the evening news or whatever. 191 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: They did it right as the stock market was closing. 192 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: And to me, it's a different level of incompetence because 193 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: in their planning, I really think I think they expected 194 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: for the inflation numbers to come down substantially, for the 195 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: storyline to be we're kicking in inflation's ass and look 196 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: at how the stock market is roaring back in response 197 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: favorably to what we're doing. Instead, it was the exact opposite. 198 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: And now I just come back to this again and again, 199 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: why are Republicans starting to have more success because Joe 200 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: Biden talks more. I don't think it's a coincidence that 201 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: when Joe Biden went on in the month long vacation 202 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,479 Speaker 1: basically and got COVID and he was in South Carolina, 203 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: and he was in Delaware, and they hit him. His 204 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: approval ratings tick up. But when you actually watch this 205 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: guy speak and when he tries to make the case 206 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: for anything, the overall amount of American public who looks 207 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: at him and thinks this is a guy I'm happy 208 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: to have in charge of the country is not very substantial. 209 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: And so Republicans win the more Biden talks, and you know, 210 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: hopefully we win the more we talk too, we come back. 211 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: Biden couldn't even say, the United States of America, have 212 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: you heard this audio yet? Buck? If you haven't, you're 213 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: gonna just to sit here and say, how have we 214 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: gotten to the point where not only is this guy president, 215 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: but he's also trying to get the momentum to be 216 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: able to say we talked about it yesterday with Joe Biden, 217 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: that he's going to run again in twenty four. Come on, man, 218 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: not a joke. Not a joke. With each mortgage free home, 219 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: the Tunnel of the Towers Foundation delivers on its promise 220 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: to do good and never forget the sacrifices America's heroes 221 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: have made for us. These heroes needs your help. That's 222 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: gold Star fallen first responder families with kids, our nation's 223 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: most catastrophically injured first responders and veterans, even our homeless 224 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: service members. US Marine Corps Corporal Christopher Grier was a 225 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: firefighter and EMT in Tennessee when he was deployed to Afghanistan. 226 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: He was just twenty five years old when he gave 227 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: his life serving our country. Corporal Greer was survived by 228 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: his wife and their young children. Tunnel the Towers paid 229 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: off the Greer families mortgage. For some families, the foundation 230 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: brings the comfort of knowing they can stay in the 231 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: home they shared with their fallen loved one or others. 232 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: The foundation enables new memories to be cherished forever. All 233 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: of this made possible because of your generosity and support. 234 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: Both Buck and me and that myself contribute each and 235 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: every month to Tunnel to Towers. Will you join us? 236 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: Donate eleven dollars a month to Tunnel the Towers. That 237 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: two t dot org. That's t the number two t 238 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: dot org. How long would these great heights Steve? Will 239 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: it take to see inflation come down using this blunt instrument, 240 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: this tool of raising rates to bring it down? Is 241 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: that a short term goal or is that something that 242 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: takes a lot of time. That's exactly the right question, Willie. 243 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: And what yesterday's numbers did was it increased the probability 244 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: of there being what we called we're calling a hard 245 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: landmade that there's going to have to be a recession 246 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: here to get inflation down anywhere near the fence two 247 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: percent target. And so we're going to have to see 248 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: what comes of it, but it's certainly not going to 249 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: happen in the near term. There's only one more report 250 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: before the ind term elections, and we're looking at a 251 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: much longer process than that. And the question is going 252 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: to be how consumers react to these numbers as well 253 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: economic pantheltically. So that was a top Obama era economist 254 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: Steve Rattner on TV saying what I think should be 255 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: obvious now, the recession. He also calls it the hard landing. 256 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: It's coming. And the whole game right now for the 257 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: Democrats is to convince everybody. Really, I guess two things. 258 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: One is it's not coming, which is just a lie, 259 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: and two is, don't worry this guy, Joe Biden. He's 260 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: got a handle on things. He knows what's going on. 261 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: Think about what you'd think about at the time. Think 262 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: about how you'd feel you didn't have the insurance and 263 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: didn't have the money. It's wrong. It's not who we are. 264 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: Who is that? Who is that old imbecile shouting? Yet? Really, yes, 265 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: that's what you want to know. Why is he always screaming? 266 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: I just I mean, I think it probably, unfortunately, has 267 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: some to do with the dementia where you're not able 268 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: to really you just get angry for no reason. And well, 269 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: it isn't sundowning. It doesn't sundowning, which people can have 270 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: as they get to that age, you're more irritable and 271 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: you get tired, but also you get more irritable and 272 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: there's issues that come later on in the day. I mean, 273 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: this is get off my lawn, angry old Biden stuff. 274 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: You're seeing in this bizarre celebration speech yesterday. What they're 275 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: celebrating the passage of a bill that they say, well, 276 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: reduce inflation. Then they mutter a whole bunch of stuff 277 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: about prescription drugs and then some green New Deal stuff. 278 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,359 Speaker 1: The whole thing is just whacko. Yeah, it's it's very strange, 279 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: and again it's about trying to convince people that Biden 280 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: has got control of inflation, even while everybody out there 281 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: understands that that's not occurring. You know, grocery prices are 282 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: up thirteen and a half percent. If you're fortunate enough, 283 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: as most most people, frankly in the media and in 284 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: the political sphere are, you don't pay a lot of 285 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: attention to grocery prices on a day to day basis. 286 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't impact you as much, which is why it 287 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: is so interesting to me Buck that how many times 288 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: have economists been surprised and inflation been higher than their 289 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: expectations virtually every month? When Joe Biden came into office, 290 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: I believe inflation was one point four percent virtually every 291 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: month Since then, it's gone up and people have said, oh, 292 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: this is a surprising number. You know who, it's not 293 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: a surprising number. Two people who live paycheck to paycheck 294 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: and recognize what a hundred dollars in a week means 295 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: extra sitting that that price sensitivity is in a theoretical 296 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: for those who are going to be putting money on, 297 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: putting groceries and gas on credit cards, running up that debt. Now, 298 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: and it's funny when you have someone like Joe Scarborough yesterday. 299 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: He's like, man, this is really hitting the working folks. 300 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, really, Joe, do you speak to your 301 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: gardener about it? Is that? Oh you feel their pain? Huh. 302 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: Listen to Joe Biden. This is I think earlier in 303 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: the week, but this is Joe Biden trying to say 304 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: United States of America.

Everybody misspeaks.

Clearly. Let's listen 311 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: one more time to our our chief executive, the man 312 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: who has his finger on the pulse of America, Joe Biden. 313 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: This is the United States Camara.

I even think, buck, do you 337 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: feel like all of the moral lago noise is fading? 338 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: By which I mean there seems to be a desperate 339 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: attempt with the constant leaks, the oh they got new subpoenas, Oh, 340 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: the drumbeato, the circle is tightening on Trump, all these things, 341 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: but that most Republicans are of the awareness now that 342 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: this is being used to try to distract from all 343 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's failures. And so we're gonna play this 344 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: Michaelendel clip here in a minute about his phone getting taken. 345 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: But I feel as if most recognized that this is 346 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,719 Speaker 1: a distraction and the attempt is to put Trump on 347 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: the ballot, and I don't think most Republicans are falling 348 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: for it in the same way. Does that make sense? 349 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: It feels like everybody's rallying around the fact that Biden's 350 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: a disaster and we can talk about Trump in twenty 351 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: three as that plays out. Yes. Also, it's a very 352 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: it's a very clear cut situation now that the whole 353 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: thing is about documents, right, so we know what the 354 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: story is right now. It's about they claim that he 355 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: had possession of classified outside of a proper facility. They're 356 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,959 Speaker 1: throwing some obstruction in there, but everyone know the obstruction 357 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: thing is just this is like throwing in a conspiracy 358 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: charge where you don't have somebody on the real stuff. 359 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: So you're like, well, they tried to think about doing 360 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: me a legal thing that we can't prove. So there's 361 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: a limit here to how much mileage I think they 362 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: can get out of the story as it currently stands. 363 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: There could be more leaks, there could be some connect 364 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for them to unveil for a big media 365 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: fusillade of this is actually about January six at some level, 366 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: right trying to break because the January six hearings in 367 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: June that just collapsed. I mean that went down like 368 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: a lead balloon. Nobody cared, nobody remembers. You know, Adam 369 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: Shift going, it's about our democracy. Yeah, whatever, Adam. But 370 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: here with this situation, this story, Clay were kind of 371 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: at the already bring charges or don't point of this. 372 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that they won't bring charges. I'm 373 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: just saying to keep talking about it at some point. 374 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: This isn't like the Russia collusion conspiracy with oh, we 375 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: have to find all the boxes documents. You say he's 376 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: got him, you say he shouldn't have had them. You're 377 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: gonna charge him or not? Not only that you talked 378 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: about January sixth. They're bringing back more January six hearings 379 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: at some point before the election. Initially, their full report whatever, 380 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: for whatever value it's going to have, was going to 381 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: come out in September around this time. Now they're talking 382 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: about trying to have late September early October more hearings. 383 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 1: And you're gonna have Liz Cheney, who's been trounced and 384 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: has no real claim on a seat anymore, certainly after 385 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: November already lost her primary, sitting up there trying to 386 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: take the case to Trump, and I just think it's 387 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: all landing very flat, and the total disconnect, the tone 388 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: deaf quality of that celebration yesterday at the White House. 389 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: Biden has made himself back as the central story of 390 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: the mid terms. As well it should be, because the midterms, 391 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: on any president are referendum on how well he's done 392 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: in office so far. And all of this now, Mike 393 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: Lindale got his phone stolen fan of Hardy's, which is 394 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: utterly ridiculous. Stolen makes it sound like somebody's stuck in there. 395 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: You know, you said it was the FBI. Frankly, yeah, 396 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a surprise if he got his phone stolen, 397 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: because everything's getting stolen left and right all over this 398 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: country because scribes out of control. But yes, the FBI 399 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: seized his phone. Here he is telling that story the FBI. 400 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear that sign you're probably already hearing in 401 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: the news. The FBI came after me and took my phone. 402 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: It surrounded me at the Hearties and took my phone. 403 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: And I run all my business everything with um Um 404 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: they could have just what we've done is weaponize the FBI. 405 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: Um is discussing, I don't have a computer. Everything I 406 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 1: do have the phone. Everything was on there and hum, 407 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: and they told me not to tell anybody. There's an 408 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: order not to don't tell anybody. Okay, I won't, I am. 409 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: He definitely is telling people. So there's that thing. It's 410 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: probably good for Mike's business, honestly, to have his phone sez. 411 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: Don't you feel like on some level people are way 412 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: more likely who support my pillow to support him today 413 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: than they were yesterday. Even well, there's always this rallying 414 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,160 Speaker 1: effect that it happens with Trump and Marlago. It's happening. 415 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: I believe it will happen with Mike. And it's not 416 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: just this. They've gone after Mike so many times in 417 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: the past, trying to get trying to get his company 418 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: kicked out of big box stores. And there's a persecution 419 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: of Mike because his businesses and obviously we I mean, 420 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here in the my slippers right now, and 421 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: he's been a sponsor of mine for many years. He's 422 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: a sponsor of this show. They always want to find 423 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: a way to go after the economic lifeblood of conservative media. 424 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: So Mike has been a target for that reason now 425 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: for years. Because when people say, oh, this person said 426 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: something and they got to cancel him, Mike's like, no, 427 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: that's not sorry. The Constitution is not something that should 428 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: get you booted. Questioning elections is not something that should 429 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: ruin somebody's life or have the state come down on them. 430 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: But I do think that there'll be people that view 431 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: this well, they see what this is, which is at 432 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: a minimum, it's intimidation at a minimum. It's meant to 433 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: tell people you better stay in line, or else we 434 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: could take your phone. Because yeah, Mike, he's a very 435 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: very successful guy. He's a fighter. He'll handle this. And 436 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: we've obviously got his back, but it tells a lot 437 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: of other people, other businesses, as other high profile donors 438 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: to Republican causes, etc. You better watch yourself or else 439 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: we may show up and just take your phone, and 440 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: who knows what we're going to find in there. Yeah, 441 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: most people don't want their phone to be out of 442 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: their own possession, period, because this is actually turned into 443 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: buck a monster story in terms of search and seizure, 444 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: in terms of how the Fourth Amendment applies, because there 445 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: isn't really a historical analogy to the phone, because for 446 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: most of American history you couldn't carry around your entire 447 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: life in your pocket, right, So you can get tax returns, 448 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 1: you can get medical information, you can get every possible 449 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: bank account. Like the phone itself is basically an entry 450 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: way now into every single person's entire life in a 451 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 1: way that historically didn't exist. I mean, imagine this if 452 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: you if you had the if the FBI was going 453 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: to spend an hour rummaging through your home or an 454 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: hour going through everything. Let's say they get they got 455 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: the passwords, they can go through everything on your phone, 456 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: which one which one would feel more intrusive. I mean, 457 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: I they can look at my apartment all day, they'll 458 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: find some old gluten free muffins, and uh, you know, 459 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 1: it's a good point. I think most people would say, 460 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: especially around our age or younger, that the phone is 461 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: more private than even the home would be. Yes, I 462 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 1: think I think the phone contains a lot more than 463 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: you would find by searching through someone's home. I mean, 464 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, the FBI can look through my sock drawer 465 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: all day, it's not very interesting. But when they can 466 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: look at every text you've sent, you know, to your wife, 467 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: to family members, you know, everything else, it's intrusive. Even 468 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: if you have nothing to hide, it's intrusive. Yeah, and 469 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: and and beyond that, even pictures, like almost all my 470 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,919 Speaker 1: pictures now are on my phone. It used to be 471 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: they're all on the wall right, Like, I don't remember 472 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: the last time that I got a picture printed off 473 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: that I had taken. Not that I sit around taking 474 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: that many photos, but it's kind of take a moment 475 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: to think, under what possible rationale are they taking Mike 476 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: Lindell's phone this. I think all ties to thissubpoenas they've 477 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: sent out are around people that were part of the 478 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: alternate Elector's scheme and you've been seeing some new stories 479 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: about this, which is essentially a way of saying, if 480 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: you try to use the system to bring about a 481 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: different outcome than what happened with Joe Biden's ascension and 482 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: the election, that's a crime. That's not a crime. I mean, 483 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: they really are criminalizing political differences here. If you think 484 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: that a judge could order a different slate, if a 485 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: judge orders it, it's within this system, right. So there's 486 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: this effort, I think, very clearly to criminalize political differences, 487 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: and that's at the heart of the seizure of his 488 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: and dozens of other people's phones and records. That's a 489 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: good point because what they're also trying to do is 490 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: criminalize legal arguments. Yes, there are all sorts of legal arguments. 491 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: They can be made and are made by lawyers on 492 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: a day to day basis. Some of them have more 493 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: validity in the law than others. But there's a wide 494 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: expanse of what legal arguments can be made, which is 495 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: what's always troubled me about this in general. Yes, it 496 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: may have been an aggressive position to take about what 497 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: the authority was in the States and surrounding the electors 498 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: and everything else associated with it, but it wasn't. It 499 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: is a legal position. I mean it is. Democrats are arguing, 500 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: as a legal matter that a baby in the ninth 501 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: month of a pregnancy can be murdered and has no personhood. 502 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: I think that's psychopathic, but they're arguing it right to 503 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: make the I'm not going to lock them up for 504 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: making the argument. They're allowed to make the argument legally. 505 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: If the law gets passed and they violated, well then 506 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: they deal with the consequences. But it's exactly what you're saying, Clay. 507 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: They're they're actually criminalizing argument within the political and legal process, 508 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: which makes sense given what they did with COVID and 509 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: everything else too. They don't want to hear the alternative 510 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: point of view. They want men with guns to show 511 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: up and arrest you for saying, and they want men 512 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: to be able to get pregnant. And they're going after 513 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio. I'm sure you saw this in Florida for 514 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: saying men can't get pregnant, as if somehow that's going 515 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: to help his political opponent. Because I feel pretty confident 516 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: that men have an undefeated history of avoiding pregnancy so 517 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: far throughout all of humanity.

Welcome back in Clay 536 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: Travis Buck Sexton Show. We are rolling through the Wednesday 537 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: edition of the program. We're talking about some of the 538 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: momentum that is moving in a very good direction for 539 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: Republican Senate and governatorial candidates out there. I think we 540 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 1: have the latest John Fetterman audio. Do we have this? 541 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: Did I just see this? John Fetterman is talking to 542 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: a DC grassroots group, worth mentioning that we now have 543 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: a newest poll from CBS. And again I understand everybody's 544 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: reticence about trusting poles when we try to follow the 545 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: trend lines. Here Fetterman now is double digit lead that 546 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: everybody was crowing about, down to five points in this 547 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: new CBS poll. As everybody is becoming aware that he's 548 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: a Bernie Sanders clone, that he is a clown, and 549 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: unfortunately that due to his stroke he can barely speak. 550 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: Here is Fetterman with a DC grassroots group. They're asking, hey, 551 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: what can we do to help you? Fetterman has the answer, 552 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: tell us what we hear in DC and the surrounding 553 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: areas can do to help you win? Oh, just you know, 554 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: hollow it. Yeah, I just buck. I mean, the dude 555 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: cannot speak. And this is even worse than the Biden 556 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty campaign when they hit him in the basement 557 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: because Joe Biden's a better speech. So it's an indictment 558 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: of Fetterman. But Joe Biden is even a better speaker 559 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: than Fetterman right now, and I feel like the name 560 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: is becoming aware, and certainly Pennsylvania is as well of 561 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: what a disastrous candidate the Democrats have put forward here. 562 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: You do have to wonder at some point, because the 563 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: Democrats aren't making a habit of this, putting forward people 564 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: for high office, including the presidency, that are clearly not clear, 565 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: that are fading, that are not in a place in 566 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 1: their lives where they should be doing this. I mean, 567 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: I've said it before. I think that if they need to, 568 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: they would, they would wheel a candidate out who had 569 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: just had a stroke. I'm increasingly convinced that Democrats would 570 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: tell their base if they thought they could pull it 571 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: off to vote for a candidate who was in a coma. 572 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that they care. Their idea, their mentality 573 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: is as long as it's a Democrat, we can get 574 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: the votes we want, we can replace them when we 575 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: want to replace the individual, whatever capacity, mental acuity, any 576 00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 1: of those considerations that you should have for somebody to 577 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: have to be in the kind of a role. I 578 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: think they're willing to disregard it in the most obtuse 579 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: and insane ways. Honestly, that's where I think the Democrat 580 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: Party is. That's how it's positioned itself. We had a 581 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: couple of calls. We didn't get to it yesterday, but 582 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: I saw him on the list of people saying, hey, 583 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: how is it possible that John Fetterman's wife is letting 584 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: this happen? And we've certainly had the question buck, how 585 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: did Jill Biden let this? I mean, I can do 586 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: you have a theory because I'm my theory about this, 587 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: or if I'm playing the role of spouse here from 588 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: a mentality perspective, it's Joe Biden or Fetterman is saving 589 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,479 Speaker 1: our democracy from the threat of Trumpism. Whatever we have 590 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: to do, it is worth the sacrifice. We're being heroes 591 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: by supporting somebody who is clearly visibly not all there. 592 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: Because and that's asked my wife. I said, hey, what 593 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: she said? Yeah? She said, I think that they have 594 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: bought in and been sold on the idea that Trump, 595 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: in the case of Biden, is such a huge threat 596 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: to the country that even your husband with mental capacity 597 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 1: issues is better. And I think that they are buying 598 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: in as well, the same wife as buying in on 599 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: Fetterman also that oh, you've got to take back control 600 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: of the Senate, your husband will get back healthy. It's 601 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,320 Speaker 1: a delusion that they're willing to buy into. I also 602 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 1: think that there is an element here of because the 603 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: spouse is going to know better than anybody the mental 604 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: decline because we can hide. We only see what buck 605 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: five percent of Joe Biden's day to day existence. The 606 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,760 Speaker 1: other ninety five percent is behind closed doors. His wife 607 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,800 Speaker 1: would know she's been with him for a long time. 608 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 1: How much of a decline we've seen, same thing with 609 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 1: John Fetterman. Those guys are bad, and the limited amount 610 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: that we see I think missus Travis one hundred percent 611 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: spot on there by the way I think that is. 612 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: I think I think that's exactly the mentality that these 613 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: Democrats have got a bunch of calls. I mentioned this 614 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: because Al Paso, some photos are out there right now 615 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 1: showing what a message is on the streets, and we 616 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: got people calling in. Let's take Chris in El Paso, Texas. 617 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: Chris is a mailman. Chris, how you doing? Hey, Mega diddo, 618 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,879 Speaker 1: see you guys. I think you and Buck are doing 619 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: a fantastic job they're keeping on with Russia's memory. But 620 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: I see this every day. I'm actually on the border 621 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: live right now, and I can report to you that 622 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,839 Speaker 1: there are people walking along the fence here and then 623 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: border patrol shows up and they just open the gate 624 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,840 Speaker 1: for them. They're not even trying to stop them. It 625 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter if we have a gate or not. This 626 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 1: is all a bunch of malarkey, as Joe Biden would say, 627 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: that they're doing this to us. So they are here, 628 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 1: and I saw a bus the other day come and 629 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, two buses and they jumped off over one 630 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: hundred illegals at the local motel. We are being overrun here, 631 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: like you, guys have no clue and the rest of 632 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: the country. We need to ship more these guys to DC, 633 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: New York, Chicago so they can live with what we're 634 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: living with right now. And thank thanks for calling in, Chris. 635 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: We got a lot of listeners on KTSM in El Paso. 636 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: Might take some more of those calls, Clay in the 637 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: next hour. Because the immigration problem. The media does not 638 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: want to cover this between now and the election, because 639 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: it is one of the issues that is highest concern 640 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: and largest gap in trust. People trust Republicans on immigration 641 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: by about twenty points more than they trust Democrats. Yeah, 642 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: and some of those quotes, maybe we can play those 643 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: in the next couple of hours. Did you see what 644 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 1: Karen Jean Pierre said about the border. I mean she 645 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,640 Speaker 1: just flat out wide and said that they were doing 646 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: a better optional Trump and that the order was better 647 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,280 Speaker 1: at the border. We'll talk about all that more plus 648 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: good news in Arizona. I'll tell you about it next 649 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: Fleet Travis and Buck Sexton want Arizona and then bringing 650 00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: the but
