Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. I hope all of you are having
a fantastic middle point of your week. Odds are You're
probably better at your job that Joe Biden is at his,
no matter what you do for a living, and that
(00:22):
is where we begin today. A new high in inflation
in the Biden regime seven percent announced early this morning.
That is the highest since nineteen eighty two. We also
have reaction to the speech that Joe Biden gave in
(00:44):
the State of Georgia and a question that is lingering
out there, what has Biden done well? You know, it's amazing,
Clay to see how Joe Biden at this stage has
already transferred from the guy who is supposed to be
(01:06):
uniting the country. I mean that there's been this massive
transition of the initial promise of Joe Biden, and that
is that he was supposed to be a moderate, kind
of bullwark against the craziest on the left. Now he's
running around making references to clearly tie Republicans to George Wallace,
(01:28):
to Jefferson Davis, it's absolutely nuts what's going on, And
it just goes to show you it was all a fraud.
I mean that this notion of cuddly old Joe was
a fraud. There's no doubt, total fraud. And I believe
we have a cut to your point, Jefferson Davis, this
is how far back Joe Biden is going now to
(01:51):
try to make these historical analogies. Will listen to what
he said yesterday in Georgia. To protect our democracy, I
support change either Senate rules which every way they need
to be changed to prevent a minority of centers from
blocking action on voting rights. So I ask every elected
(02:13):
official in America, how do you want to be remembered.
Do you want to be the side on the side
of Doctor King or George Wallace? Do you want to
be in the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor.
Do you want to be the side of Abraham Lincoln
or Jefferson Davis? This is the moment to decide to
(02:33):
defend our elections, to defend our democracy. Can I just
say it's just crazy? Let me clay here. You have
a guy who is going along with this Democrat pretense
that it's the nineteen sixties and they're the good guys.
That's essentially what this is. They've created this narrative of
we're in a new civil rights movie. Meanwhile, they look
(02:53):
at these different states where they say there's voter suppression
and the data shows all time high African American turnout,
example in the Carolinas, or you look at what's going
on in Georgia right now, but they claim there's a
Republican campaign of racist voter suppression. They throw everything in
together now with the insurrection is somehow tied to the
(03:14):
assault on our democracy, which then somehow turns into to
protect our democracy, we need ballot harvesting and no voter ID.
That's really what this is all about. Change the election
rules at the federal level, ram it down all the
state's throats so that they can win elections that they
would otherwise lose. That's what this really means. I think
(03:36):
the panic that sets in in the aftermath of twenty
twenty was buck. They threw everything they could at Donald Trump.
They had Twitter and Facebook suppressing actual news. They had
all sorts of brand new rules because of the pandemic
for mail voting, for absentee voting, and even with all
(04:00):
those changes, Buck, they won by twenty thousand votes. People
change twenty thousand of their opinions right, ten thousand voters
in Georgia, ten thousand voters in Arizona, twenty thousand voters
in Wisconsin, and the election is flipped. So if twenty
thousand people change their mind, that's basically one NHL or
(04:23):
one NBA arena in a country that has one hundred
and fifty million plus voting. That's how close they were
to losing, even with an election taking place in the
middle of COVID. And to me, this speech that Biden
gave in Georgia yesterday represents a fundamental inability to figure
(04:46):
out what he's going to be able to do even
before he loses his majority in the House and in
the Senate. Because Buck this vote, the votes are not
there even if they needed fifty votes, because already Match
and Cinema have said they're not going to do it.
You've got Shaheen and New Hampshire, who doesn't really want
to change the rules. You've got Montana Senator bacchus I believe,
(05:08):
who doesn't want to change the rules. And Mark Kelly,
who is the other senator in Arizona doesn't want to
really want to change the rules either. So you've got
at least four or five Democrats that are opposed to
changing the rule on the filibuster as well. Right, so
it's not even just an issue I do. They have
the votes for this legislation. And they're different versions of it, right.
There is the Freedom to Vote Act, which is the
(05:29):
huge federalization of elections, or the Four of the People Act,
essentially two versions of the same thing with different titles.
Then there's the smaller John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which
is the one they're talking about where they're very much
focusing in on this. This is the nineteen sixties all
over again. This is about civil rights heroes, and it's
actually about you know, preclearance. Four states going to the
(05:53):
federal government before they could even move a polling place
because of what had been the nineteen seven, the nineteen
seventies based restrictions, right that they used for preclearance before
that got struck down by the Supreme Court. So now
they want to reinstitute that through legislation. Right, they changed
what was in the Voting Rights Act because it didn't
(06:13):
make sense anymore. But Clay to your point about we're
getting all down deep into this analysis of it. This
is really just a Republicans are Racist campaign, that's it.
They're not going to actually, they're not going to change
the Filipbuster. It's not going to happen. So they want
to give big speeches where it's Republicans are racist to
get based turnout in the mid terms for the Democrats.
And I don't even think that works anymore. Maybe I'm
(06:36):
totally wrong. Maybe there is a large segment of the
population that is going to turn their head the minute
that somebody says everything is racist, which is basically the
foundation right now of the entire Democratic Party. But I
think we're at a boy who Cried Wolf scenario, buck,
(06:57):
where when you yell at so many times and we've
had so many clear non racial related issues, whether it's
Jesse Smollett, whether it's you know, insert different hate crime
that has been blown up by the media, and then
in your local jurisdictions at a college or a high school,
the investigation actually occurs and it's not actually a hate crime.
(07:20):
I think the Democrats have gotten to the boy who
Cried Wolf scenario, where screaming everything is racist really just
draws attention to the fact that they don't have any
underlying plan here. And look, we don't think billback Better
can get past. We know that their votes are not
there to change the filibuster. What is Congress going to
(07:43):
do with Biden for the rest of this year, because
we know by May or June they're going to shut
down effectively and let everybody go home. In campaign twenty six,
Democrats have already decided they're not going to run for reelection,
which is a strong sign in the House that they
anticipate that they're going to a wallop to there. I
just I'm not wasp because we talked about this existential question.
(08:05):
It's a big picture question. What can Biden point to
and say is better than a year ago when he
took overbuck And the more I think about it, the
only thing I think he can argue is that the
stock market is up. But that's really a function of
just pouring trillions of dollars into into the marketplace. Everyone
understands that right now, if you put one hundred dollars
(08:25):
in the bank and you leave it there for a year,
even in a high yield saving is account, losing seven percent,
you're losing money every year. So this is why people
are piling money and money, you know, and more money
into the stock market and ETFs and mutual funds because
otherwise they're forget about yield, you're actually just trying to
keep even with inflation right now. About the water, you know,
if someone could guarantee you seven percent a year, Bertie
(08:48):
made off. Just to keep this in context, was guaranteeing everybody,
as we know, based on a Ponzi scheme, ten percent
a year. Just think about that, every year ten percent,
every year ten percent. You're losing seven percent now, just
based upon and this is the Biden economy that we're
dealing with, and Clay, there's also so much of this
that's just cause and effect. People should remember now who
(09:08):
was pushing for defund the police, the undermining of law enforcement,
and who supports progressive prosecutors in major cities. The Democrat
Party who wanted to pay people as long as possible,
as often as possible, as many of them as they could,
all across the country to stay home while some people
were working during COVID there a lot of other people
are being told to stay home. As we know, there
was no the whole stay home thing was a terrible idea.
(09:29):
But you know, they piled all this money up that
they were spending trillions and trillions of dollars in additional spending,
and we have inflation. I mean, you look at all
these decisions that have been made the Biden regime, the
Democrats around him. I think we have to call it
the regime because it really is. The advisors, like I think,
you know, the Mayor of the Palace, so to speak,
in the White House is making a lot of calls here,
(09:50):
whether we're talking about Ron Klein or whomever. And to
your point, about what can they point to that actually
looks like it's some kind of a success. I pose
this to either other day. I'm like, Clay, you're a
super a dept. Guy, like I would want you doing
crisis comms for me. You know, I had pretty much
anybody else I know, and there's just nothing. There's no
there there. So now that they have Republicans are racist.
(10:12):
I sat around him, was thinking about this this morning
when the number came out at seven percent, and I
always think this is instructive. By the way, this is
good advice. No matter what you do for a living,
pretend you're the boss, and you have to make the
decision yourself. Even if you're not making the decision yourself,
it's good to put yourself in those shoes and go
through the mental exercises of how the boss is going
(10:35):
to reach a decision and right now, whether we like
it or not, the Biden regime, as Buck said, is
the boss of the country. What would you be pointing
to and say, boy, America is lucky we were here
over the last year because of I mean, I can
look at China, but China is almost entirely to Biden's credit,
(10:56):
small measure of credit. All he's done is keep most
of Donald Rump's policies in place for China. And then
I look, I guess you can look at the stock
market and say the stock market is up. But other
than that, the border murder rates, inflation at a forty
year high nearly when you consider what's going on with
(11:17):
the supply chain crisis and the inability of people to
get oftentimes what they're trying to get inside of the stores.
When you look at COVID hospitalizations set a new high yesterday,
they're likely to set another new high today. COVID cases
are at a new high I just challenge you. This
is the existential larger picture question that gets asked many
times in elections. It really cuts to the nitty gritty
(11:41):
of it. Are you better off today than you were
a year ago? I think there are very few people
in America that can say, hey, you know what, everything's
better in this country now because of Joe Biden. I
don't think there's anything he can argue. And that's why
he's focused on chasing wind meals, windmills in some way,
trying to label the Republicans as race because they won't
change voting there. I like the don Quixote referenced by there. Yeah,
(12:03):
for the folks at home, you've probably got a favorite
coffee brand right now, Well it should be Black Rifle
coffee because that's my favorite, all right, Clay and I
love Black Rifle. It's what I drink every morning. I
go with the hot stuff, right, I throw that cake
up in their silence or smooth just black caf can't
say what that means in the radio, but it's great.
Coffee gets you fired up. Clay likes the cold. There's
espresso espresso rather not espresso mocha. Clay loves that stuff.
(12:28):
They're amazing, great taste in coffee's, folks, you're gonna love this.
Black Rifle is a veteran owned coffee brand. They serve
premium coffee to people who love America. I start off
every day with Black Rifle, and I have it in
the afternoon too, And Clay is going to be up
to two a day, I'm sure with all the work
he does of the cold espresso mocha. The best way
to enjoy their coffee is with the Black Rifle Coffee Club.
(12:49):
When you join the club, your chosen brew is roasted, packaged,
and shipped right to your front door for free on
your schedule. Shipping is free all right. You save a
trip to the store and you receive special disc counts
on roasts and amazing products. I've got some of their
gear to Clay. How do people get hooked up with
Black Rifle Buck? I love it. Everyone out there will
love it as well. You can buy the coffee at
Black Rifle dot com. Use the promo code Clay and Buck.
(13:12):
You'll get twenty percent off your purchase and your first
Coffee Club order. That's Black Riflecoffee dot Com promo code
Clay and Buck. Yes or no, would you be willing
to submit to Congress and the public a financial disclosure
that includes your past and current investments. I don't understand
(13:34):
why you're asking me that question. My financial disclosure is
public knowledge and has been so for the last thirty
seven years or so thirty five years. Big tech giants
are doing an incredible job of keeping it from being public.
We'll continue to look for it. Where would we find it?
What do you have to do is ask for it.
You're so misinformed, it's extraordinary. This is a huge issue,
(13:59):
Henry Mark. So, doctor Fouci has answered you to his
public information, and he's happy to give it to you
if you would it has Welcome back to the clan
Buck Show. Fauci, get a little a little smurf, get
a little hot into the collar there. Didn't like it. Look,
his financial disclosures are public information. But you know, you
(14:19):
could tell Fauci this is what this guy does. Actually,
this is what he lives for. He is a make
believe scientist in so many ways. I mean, he might
as well be Bill Nigh, the science guy who, if
you're wondering, has an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell,
but as the science guy. And here you have Fauci
Clay getting getting all sassy and saucy with a senator
(14:42):
yesterday because obviously Rand Paul rattled him a little bit
as he tends to. But Fauci actually he actually says,
and we can play here here is he claims he's
not political after doing things like this, after these bureaucratic
fights he has, how do we stop the misinformation and
just information and anybody who really wants to be objective
(15:03):
and look at some of the preposterous things that are
said out there that are based on no fact, just
you know, everything from wild conspiracy theories to just not
really understanding or to understanding but putting out something that
isn't true. I mean, that's going to make this whole
thing tough. I wish we could reset this and say,
(15:24):
you have your political differences. I'm not a political person.
You know that. You know me for decades, zero political interest.
But maybe we could put the political stuff aside and say,
why if we want to fight politically, let's end this
outbreak first, get back to normal life, and then go
back to our political ideologies. He is such a liar
(15:45):
as well as such a failure it's remarkable. Well, if
that were true, he would do this radio show. If
he truly doesn't care about politics at all and he's
trying to reach the biggest possible audience, he wouldn't have
declined to come on this radio show multiple times when
we have offered him that opportunity. And by the way,
(16:09):
having testified in Congress, it's kind of hard to accidentally
leave your mic on there. I feel like that was
intentional by Fauci. Now he may say, oh, I didn't
know the mic was still on, but you're testifying in
front of Congress, you take your mask off so people
can read your lips. Anyway, I think he wanted to
(16:32):
insult that senator and then claim that he didn't know
that his mic was still on. But the larger context
addressed towards doctor Fauci, there buck would be he talks
about all the misinformation that is out there. When will
they accept the blame meaning Fauci, the CDC, Rachelle will Lyinski,
(16:53):
so many people who are quote scientific experts. When will
they accept the blame for so much that they have
put out there being untrue? They told us this spring
the end of the winter. If you get the COVID vaccine.
You will never spread COVID. It stops with you. You
(17:14):
will never have any that breakthrough cases are exceedingly rare.
There's a ton of people listening to us right now
who are double vaxed, maybe even boostered, and they've got
covid or Buck, they know somebody who is double vaxed
and boosted and got COVID. You told us not to
(17:35):
wear masks, then to wear masks, then we could take
them off. Then you told us we had to put
them back on. When do they accept blame for all
the messaging that they've gotten wrong. I don't see any
of that. I don't ever see Fauci showing up Buck
and saying, hey, you know what, in retrospect, we got
that wrong, or as you've said, a lot Buck. I
never say see Fauci saying that's too much. Yeah, why
(17:55):
does kid tom'side eating lunch on buckets is too much? Clay,
there's a wine bar near me that makes you wear
your mask until your drinks arrive. Yeah's as if that's
a smart They have this policy in the window. It's crazy.
Most people don't bother to look at the contributions made
by companies to politicians. But when you do take the
time to investigate those campaign contributions, it'll disappoint you, probably
(18:19):
in a big way. A lot of your money is
going to support political causes you don't stand for at all.
Now there's a solution. It's Pure Talk. Get your cell
phone service from Pure Talk. They use the exact same towers,
the exact same five G network is one of those
companies making those kinds of donations. But with your peace
of mind, you're supporting a veteran run business with employees
all over the US. Pure Talk. That's why we are
(18:42):
proud customers. Plus, you can save a bundle up to
eight hundred dollars a year from your cell phones right now,
dal pound two fifty say pure Talk, You'll save an
additional fifty percent off your first month dal pound two
five zero say pure talk walcome back end Clay Travis
(19:04):
Buck Sexton show Buck. I know we don't talk hardly
at all about British politics, but we were just talking
about during the break. One thing that has been true
across state lines, across country lines is politicians have consistently,
(19:24):
especially Democrats here, whether it's AOC down in Miami, whether
it's Gretchen Whitmer traveling down to Florida. They've consistently I
think the governor of Illinois basically relocated his whole family
to Florida while he shut down his own state. The
hypocrisy has been pretty staggering. And really what they're saying
is while they're telling all of us, hey, you're in
(19:48):
tremendous danger, their actions by and large don't reflect that
that is true. And sometimes that hypocrisy blows up and
it may end up costing Boris Johnson his position in England.
I don't know how many out there have been following this.
This is pretty funny. So they had a gathering in
(20:11):
May of twenty twenty where Boris Johnson's private secretary sent
out a notice to people telling them, hey, bring your
own beer and we're going to have a party here
at ten Downing Street, which is where the Prime Minister
resides in in England. And some of the details on
(20:32):
this are are pretty crazy because they lied about effectively.
It appears whether they knew it was going to happen
or not. And now the way the situation is going,
Boris Johnson has come out and said that he's sorry
about the way things went. He now has admitted that
he attended the party. He said he thought it was
(20:54):
a work event and the so he lied about attending party,
but they were restricting all gatherings and then they reportedly
had a alcohol infused party for a hundred people at
ten Downing Street Buck. So this is this is bad enough,
Like a massive percentage of people in England now are
(21:16):
calling for Boris Johnson to resign. And Boris Johnson has
been a guy who historically has always been in hot
water and then kind of wriggled his way out of trouble.
But he says he understands public fury, took responsibility, said
he believed it was a work event, even though around
(21:37):
a hundred people were invited and urged to quote bring
your own booze. He says, I bitterly regret it. I
wish we could have done things differently. And the rules
at the time in England said that no gatherings of
more than two people were allowed. I mean, this is
(21:58):
it's amazing the fallout that has occurred for people in
positions of power during COVID, whether it's Andrew Cuomo and
I know it was technically me too that took him out,
not COVID. Gavin Newsom gets recalled. Yes, he won the
recall election. And we know what happened in Virginia and
(22:19):
nearly happened in New Jersey. And I think Buck, all
of this time together, I think there's going to be
an angry red tide that is going to sweep out politicians,
and some of the politicians that end up losing Buck,
I think it's going to be such a red tide
that we don't even talk about the possibility they might lose.
Like Murphy, the governor of New Jersey, almost lost his
(22:43):
reelection bid this past November, and all the focus was
on Virginia and whether Young Kun to pull off the upset,
and nobody even talked about Murphy. Is Is it remarkable
when you think about how some of the biggest advocates
for lockdowns the most publicly in favor of and by
lockdowns we mean everything, right, the policies of masking and
(23:04):
masking up between bites and six feet of social distancing
maybe three feet, maybe twenty feet, who knows, they keep changing, right,
all of those things. You look at the people who
were the most sanctimonious about it in public life, and
time and again they are caught being huge frauds. Really
almost without exception. I mean, find out a prominent Democrat
who is really at the top of the heap, whether
(23:26):
it is governor former governor Cuomo or Newsom or Pelosi
or AOC recently, and you look at all these different individuals,
and it just goes to show you that it's not
just the hypocrisy, it's the notion that a true tyranny
is not the strict enforcement of laws for everybody. That's
actually not what you have in the Soviet Union. That's
(23:47):
not what you have in North Korea. It's very strict
and capricious enforcement of laws. So some people get crushed
by the machinery of the state and in this case,
by the machinery of the Fauciite lockdown madness. Other people
get to live by different rules. When that's possible, you
don't have the universal burden across society, and so of
(24:08):
course it's much easier for people to be advocates for
this who are at the top. The same thing that
we see is with the we're all in this together.
We had all these upper middle class libs in Santa
Monica and Brooklyn and whatever. The fancy parts of Chicago
and Atlanta, Buckhead, right, you know whatever, Yeah, and the
fancy parts having their food delivered to them at home
(24:33):
doing zoom in their pajamas, talking about how we're all
in this together, while the truckers, the grocery store workers,
the postal delivery people, et cetera. Go down the list,
the cops, firefighters, they were all doing their jobs. They weren't.
We weren't all in this together. It was always a
lie because Clay, if we had been all in it together,
and if Boris Johnson had had to be in it
(24:53):
with everybody too in the UK, and Pelosi and Schumer
and all the rest of them here, maybe they wouldn't
have been able to stomach this stuff as long as
they did. And it is interesting because do you agree
with me that the tide of anger is unlikely to subside.
I know you've talked about it a little bit, Buck
(25:15):
where you feel like things are so bad for Biden
they can't possibly stay this bad. But I think it's
highly unlikely if you look at the Senate that there's
anything that's really going to get past in the Senate
for the next several months. And then once you get
into the summer and the campaign season for twenty twenty two,
barring some sort of crazy surprise, and there could be
(25:36):
a crazy surprise, right, Russia could invade Ukraine, China could
invade Taiwan. That sort of upsets the overall Apple card
of expectation. Certainly, if we've been having this conversation in
January of twenty twenty, we'd have been saying, hey, things
look pretty good for Trump to win reelection, overwhelmingly because
COVID hadn't yet hit. We just hit a new If
(25:57):
you go back and read the newspapers in January. In
February of twenty twenty, you know, we still haven't gotten
anywhere back to the same number of people who were employed. Right,
they talk about the unemployment rate, but there are millions
of people they just have decided not to go back
to work, and something crazy could happen. But I tend
to think this red tide is going to be overwhelming,
and I think it's going to be fueled in many
(26:18):
ways by COVID anger. I think there are people who
are beginning to see for the first time that there
is no exit plan from the madness. Not that there are,
there's like a big chunk of the country who unfortunately,
I think that they are emotionally incapable of handling real
(26:41):
life right now, of just handling the risks that are
out there with COVID and from everything else, because as
we've talked about, they've ramped up the fear so very
much because it was useful to defeat Donald Trump. But
you have that middle ten to twenty percent of the
country who are open to persuasion one way or the other,
and they're seeing that. You know, Fauci can whine and
(27:01):
moan all day about how people are mean to him
and everything else. This has been the CDC. I think
actually Scott Gottlieb, who's the former FDA chairman, who's one
of these guys who appears on MSNBC and CNN. You know,
he's pretty well known. He's also on the board of Feiser.
By the way, Yeah, that's convenience. I think it's interesting
to put that. He says, the CDC is just it
needs to basically be scrapped and rebuilt, which is funny
(27:22):
because I actually wrote an editorialletbucksx and dot com about
that a few days ago where I'm like, yeah, it
does the CDC is a giant failure. Anyone who's looking
objectively at the last twelve months would have to say
that decision was made after decision with poor results and
in some cases disastrous results. But here's here's my problem
(27:43):
with all this, Clay. I think that the Democrats, as
a result of this, they just run the scorched earth
insurrection Republicans are racists, the unvaccinated or murdering people playbook.
They just go, oh and they try to change the
election laws wherever they can, because what are they going
to argue, right, what's actually the case going to be?
(28:04):
Joe Biden's a clown. Everyone listening to this radio show
knows it. Even the Democrats listening to this radio show
know it. They knew it before they voted for him.
I think, yeah, it's a great point, it's gonna be interesting,
and we'll talk about this, I'm sure a great deal.
But Bill Clinton and Barack Obama had the political skills
after they got she lacked in the mid terms of
(28:25):
their first term to rebuild to the point where they
got re elected. You know who's trying to get reelected
right now? Maybe we can talk about this at the
top of the second hour or get elected get back
into polio office. Hillary Rodham Clinton coincidence not a coincidence
that the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal,
both on the same day, have editorials talking about her
(28:46):
coming back. In the meantime, our friend Mike Lindel, he's
at my pillow. He hooks us up with pillows, and
he's introduced us to the ever growing list of incredible
products that he has, such as towel set, slippers, mattress stoppers,
Geeza dream Sheets, many more. You could trust Michae Lindell
to give you a great night, sheep sleep. The sheets
(29:07):

three two six nine. Welcome back to the Clay and
Buck Show. Everybody. We have the possibility of some huge
shakeups in the political world in the next twelve months,
and yeah, we're gonna try to get ahead of some
(30:12):
of it. We see what's coming off and we certainly
saw what was coming with the Biden regime and COVID.
But we're going to talk to you about one possibility
that would just be amazing, which is Hillary Clinton. They're
writing about it out there, Hillary Clinton stepping in for
Joe Biden. Now she's she's not, you know, on the
(30:33):
young side for a politician, but you know, just put
it out there. She's younger than Joe Biden though, and
I think everyone's starting to realize this Joe Biden thing,
it's just not working for anybody. Democrats the country. So
we're going to talk to you about the Hillary situation
a moment and also want to tell you that if
you ever miss any part of the show, please subscribe
to the Clay and Buck podcast. We really want to
(30:54):
set an all time record for this month. We've been
on the air together for about seven months now and
we would love for all of you to become subscribers.
Great way to listen. See you listen on your local station.
But if you ever miss an hour, you got to
take you pick up the kids, or you're at work
and you can't sneak the earpod you know, the AirPods
or the earbuds in you know how it is, Clay,
They got the TPS reports coming your way. Lumberg starts
(31:16):
coming by the cubicles. Hey Clay, what's happening? And you
got to put in that earbud or else you get
nailed if you have the speakers on. We should allow
people to tell us. I was reading and I shared
with you. There's a great substack piece up from Bari
Weiss about Hollywood trying to grapple with Woke Universe taking
(31:36):
over in LA and what it's doing for hiring and
I don't know if you watched the Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Do you watch the most recent season. I've seen some
of it. You you are up on the TV pop
culture too, Yeah, well, I mean I try to do
the way that I dial out to watching shows with
my wife late at night. Now, so I watched Curb
Curb Your Enthusiasm, and there's a great satire is not
(32:00):
directly acknowledged that's going on throughout the entirety of the season.
Every time that Larry meets with an entertainment executive, Netflix, Hulu, HBO,
whoever it is, there's a white guy in charge, and
the white guy has like a coterie of three advisers
who are the most diverse and inclusive group you could
(32:21):
possibly imagine there for every meeting with them. And it's
almost like the piece that Bari Weiss's substack has up
talks about the need for woke insurance because people in
high levels of prominence in Hollywood are terrified to say
what they actually think, and so they've surrounded themselves with
diverse and inclusive audiences to try to protect themselves. This
(32:43):
all comes right out of the academy. This is really
what the diversity czars or when I was at Amurst,
it was diversity educators. They called them people whose only
job was to walk around have meaningless forums that nobody
would attend except for a few students who wanted to
wind up about how everything is everything you're going to
diversity inclusion seminars in college. I also I also love
(33:06):
the uh. This was a common theme at Amherst. You'd
have you know, a white kid who grew up in
the wealthiest suburbs of Boston or maybe in you know, Westchester,
the area of New York and his parents Range Rover,
no offense, Clai, your Range Rover guy and his parents
Range Rover, who would get up at the pony be like,
we are so racist at this school, and it's like, dude,
(33:27):
it's so obvious, man, just give it a break. There
was so much of that that would go on. Um.
But this is this comes right out of the school system,
the university system, where they've been creating this really army
of diversity educators for years so that they can seem
less racist. And now it's gone into corporate America and
all the rest of it, and you have all this
corporate inclusion trading. By the way, since you're throwing shows
out there all the time. Because now I'm by the way,
(33:48):
the Travis family has got me. Now now I have
like as it is, I gotta find a wife, Travis.
I gotta get married. I have time for this stuff.
I'm watching Yellowstone now I'm watching I'm watching cobrac Hi again.
I was just you know, I needed I'm just starting
Cobra Kai. When college football season ends and I don't
have to be on the road as much, I suddenly
find myself with more time. There's a reason two of
(34:10):
my three kids are born in September. People can do
the math. But that's when I catch up on all
the television viewing. And have you seen Peaky Blinders? That's great?
Oh you've already seen it, all right? No, no, I've
heard it's great. I haven't, haven't. I haven't seen that. No.
Top of the list for you, mister Travis. Peaky Blinders.
When you have some time for the new show, you
and the missus, you got to push through the first
(34:31):
three episodes. It can be a little bleak and a
little it's very violent and a little intense. Such a
great show though. The team here, Ali and Mike and Greg.
You guys all see Peaky Blinders. This is completely insane.
I'm like a man on an island all alone here.
None of them have seen it. Where is it set.
It's in England, right, nineteen twenties, Birmingham, England gangsters. It's amazing.
(34:53):
They call them the peaky blinders because this is pretty rough.
So ear muffs for the kids. They had these little
kind of derby hats, I guess you'd call them, and
they kept razor blades in the brim and they would
use the hat as a weapon and try to slash
people with his Holy Cow and sometimes in the face
and the eyes. That's whether the peaky Blinders. Yeah, yeah,
they didn't. Actually they don't actually show that though, or
(35:13):
maybe they do. I don't know. Let's not get into
that right now. Arnold in Florida, what do you got
for us? You know what? I was thinking that Fauci
doesn't want to politicize the virus, but you know, he's
been at the helm for two years and I'm wondering
why we haven't had an all hands on deck operation
warp speed for the therapeutics, especially now when we know
(35:34):
that the virus effectiveness is spotty at best. That's great.
That's a great it's a great point. That's what Jim
Jordan said yesterday with us bucket. It's what a lot
of people have argued. I listened to the Joe Rogan
podcast with doctor Malone saying that our biggest failure of
COVID response has been not trying to get involved in
(35:54):
pushing therapeutics as aggressively. We may thank Arnold a great points.
We're out of time, but we appreciate you're holding and
talking to us there in Florida. Clay, I'd say this,
the Visor pill maybe a huge way forward for us,
because at least now you have big pharma incentivized with
(36:14):
something that's not vaccines only. And maybe the all of
the above approach will hasten the end of the madness
for people. If they know that you get sick, you
take the pill, you're gonna be you know, ninety percent.
I don't know what the numbers are, so I don't
want to say, but you know, you're basically gonna be. Okay,
Maybe they'll calm down, or maybe the American people will
be fooled and devoting for Hillary Shrillery Clinson. This might
(36:39):
actually happen, Folks. You could be running again, according to
some of the intelligentsia, Clay, you want to dive into
us in a few minutes, one hundred percent. We're gonna
come right back and talk about it. Do we see
it happening. We're gonna look into the future. Next on
Claim Buck, you're listening to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
(37:00):
the EIB Network. H
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis and
Buck Sexton Show. I hope all of you are having
a fantastic middle point of your week. Odds are You're
probably better at your job that Joe Biden is at his,
no matter what you do for a living, and that
(00:22):
is where we begin today. A new high in inflation
in the Biden regime seven percent announced early this morning.
That is the highest since nineteen eighty two. We also
have reaction to the speech that Joe Biden gave in
(00:44):
the State of Georgia and a question that is lingering
out there, what has Biden done well? You know, it's amazing,
Clay to see how Joe Biden at this stage has
already transferred from the guy who is supposed to be
(01:06):
uniting the country. I mean that there's been this massive
transition of the initial promise of Joe Biden, and that
is that he was supposed to be a moderate, kind
of bullwark against the craziest on the left. Now he's
running around making references to clearly tie Republicans to George Wallace,
(01:28):
to Jefferson Davis, it's absolutely nuts what's going on, And
it just goes to show you it was all a fraud.
I mean that this notion of cuddly old Joe was
a fraud. There's no doubt, total fraud. And I believe
we have a cut to your point, Jefferson Davis, this
is how far back Joe Biden is going now to
(01:51):
try to make these historical analogies. Will listen to what
he said yesterday in Georgia. To protect our democracy, I
support change either Senate rules which every way they need
to be changed to prevent a minority of centers from
blocking action on voting rights. So I ask every elected
(02:13):
official in America, how do you want to be remembered.
Do you want to be the side on the side
of Doctor King or George Wallace? Do you want to
be in the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor.
Do you want to be the side of Abraham Lincoln
or Jefferson Davis? This is the moment to decide to
(02:33):
defend our elections, to defend our democracy. Can I just
say it's just crazy? Let me clay here. You have
a guy who is going along with this Democrat pretense
that it's the nineteen sixties and they're the good guys.
That's essentially what this is. They've created this narrative of
we're in a new civil rights movie. Meanwhile, they look
(02:53):
at these different states where they say there's voter suppression
and the data shows all time high African American turnout,
example in the Carolinas, or you look at what's going
on in Georgia right now, but they claim there's a
Republican campaign of racist voter suppression. They throw everything in
together now with the insurrection is somehow tied to the
(03:14):
assault on our democracy, which then somehow turns into to
protect our democracy, we need ballot harvesting and no voter ID.
That's really what this is all about. Change the election
rules at the federal level, ram it down all the
state's throats so that they can win elections that they
would otherwise lose. That's what this really means. I think
(03:36):
the panic that sets in in the aftermath of twenty
twenty was buck. They threw everything they could at Donald Trump.
They had Twitter and Facebook suppressing actual news. They had
all sorts of brand new rules because of the pandemic
for mail voting, for absentee voting, and even with all
(04:00):
those changes, Buck, they won by twenty thousand votes. People
change twenty thousand of their opinions right, ten thousand voters
in Georgia, ten thousand voters in Arizona, twenty thousand voters
in Wisconsin, and the election is flipped. So if twenty
thousand people change their mind, that's basically one NHL or
(04:23):
one NBA arena in a country that has one hundred
and fifty million plus voting. That's how close they were
to losing, even with an election taking place in the
middle of COVID. And to me, this speech that Biden
gave in Georgia yesterday represents a fundamental inability to figure
(04:46):
out what he's going to be able to do even
before he loses his majority in the House and in
the Senate. Because Buck this vote, the votes are not
there even if they needed fifty votes, because already Match
and Cinema have said they're not going to do it.
You've got Shaheen and New Hampshire, who doesn't really want
to change the rules. You've got Montana Senator bacchus I believe,
(05:08):
who doesn't want to change the rules. And Mark Kelly,
who is the other senator in Arizona doesn't want to
really want to change the rules either. So you've got
at least four or five Democrats that are opposed to
changing the rule on the filibuster as well. Right, so
it's not even just an issue I do. They have
the votes for this legislation. And they're different versions of it, right.
There is the Freedom to Vote Act, which is the
(05:29):
huge federalization of elections, or the Four of the People Act,
essentially two versions of the same thing with different titles.
Then there's the smaller John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which
is the one they're talking about where they're very much
focusing in on this. This is the nineteen sixties all
over again. This is about civil rights heroes, and it's
actually about you know, preclearance. Four states going to the
(05:53):
federal government before they could even move a polling place
because of what had been the nineteen seven, the nineteen
seventies based restrictions, right that they used for preclearance before
that got struck down by the Supreme Court. So now
they want to reinstitute that through legislation. Right, they changed
what was in the Voting Rights Act because it didn't
(06:13):
make sense anymore. But Clay to your point about we're
getting all down deep into this analysis of it. This
is really just a Republicans are Racist campaign, that's it.
They're not going to actually, they're not going to change
the Filipbuster. It's not going to happen. So they want
to give big speeches where it's Republicans are racist to
get based turnout in the mid terms for the Democrats.
And I don't even think that works anymore. Maybe I'm
(06:36):
totally wrong. Maybe there is a large segment of the
population that is going to turn their head the minute
that somebody says everything is racist, which is basically the
foundation right now of the entire Democratic Party. But I
think we're at a boy who Cried Wolf scenario, buck,
(06:57):
where when you yell at so many times and we've
had so many clear non racial related issues, whether it's
Jesse Smollett, whether it's you know, insert different hate crime
that has been blown up by the media, and then
in your local jurisdictions at a college or a high school,
the investigation actually occurs and it's not actually a hate crime.
(07:20):
I think the Democrats have gotten to the boy who
Cried Wolf scenario, where screaming everything is racist really just
draws attention to the fact that they don't have any
underlying plan here. And look, we don't think billback Better
can get past. We know that their votes are not
there to change the filibuster. What is Congress going to
(07:43):
do with Biden for the rest of this year, because
we know by May or June they're going to shut
down effectively and let everybody go home. In campaign twenty six,
Democrats have already decided they're not going to run for reelection,
which is a strong sign in the House that they
anticipate that they're going to a wallop to there. I
just I'm not wasp because we talked about this existential question.
(08:05):
It's a big picture question. What can Biden point to
and say is better than a year ago when he
took overbuck And the more I think about it, the
only thing I think he can argue is that the
stock market is up. But that's really a function of
just pouring trillions of dollars into into the marketplace. Everyone
understands that right now, if you put one hundred dollars
(08:25):
in the bank and you leave it there for a year,
even in a high yield saving is account, losing seven percent,
you're losing money every year. So this is why people
are piling money and money, you know, and more money
into the stock market and ETFs and mutual funds because
otherwise they're forget about yield, you're actually just trying to
keep even with inflation right now. About the water, you know,
if someone could guarantee you seven percent a year, Bertie
(08:48):
made off. Just to keep this in context, was guaranteeing everybody,
as we know, based on a Ponzi scheme, ten percent
a year. Just think about that, every year ten percent,
every year ten percent. You're losing seven percent now, just
based upon and this is the Biden economy that we're
dealing with, and Clay, there's also so much of this
that's just cause and effect. People should remember now who
(09:08):
was pushing for defund the police, the undermining of law enforcement,
and who supports progressive prosecutors in major cities. The Democrat
Party who wanted to pay people as long as possible,
as often as possible, as many of them as they could,
all across the country to stay home while some people
were working during COVID there a lot of other people
are being told to stay home. As we know, there
was no the whole stay home thing was a terrible idea.
(09:29):
But you know, they piled all this money up that
they were spending trillions and trillions of dollars in additional spending,
and we have inflation. I mean, you look at all
these decisions that have been made the Biden regime, the
Democrats around him. I think we have to call it
the regime because it really is. The advisors, like I think,
you know, the Mayor of the Palace, so to speak,
in the White House is making a lot of calls here,
(09:50):
whether we're talking about Ron Klein or whomever. And to
your point, about what can they point to that actually
looks like it's some kind of a success. I pose
this to either other day. I'm like, Clay, you're a
super a dept. Guy, like I would want you doing
crisis comms for me. You know, I had pretty much
anybody else I know, and there's just nothing. There's no
there there. So now that they have Republicans are racist.
(10:12):
I sat around him, was thinking about this this morning
when the number came out at seven percent, and I
always think this is instructive. By the way, this is
good advice. No matter what you do for a living,
pretend you're the boss, and you have to make the
decision yourself. Even if you're not making the decision yourself,
it's good to put yourself in those shoes and go
through the mental exercises of how the boss is going
(10:35):
to reach a decision and right now, whether we like
it or not, the Biden regime, as Buck said, is
the boss of the country. What would you be pointing
to and say, boy, America is lucky we were here
over the last year because of I mean, I can
look at China, but China is almost entirely to Biden's credit,
(10:56):
small measure of credit. All he's done is keep most
of Donald Rump's policies in place for China. And then
I look, I guess you can look at the stock
market and say the stock market is up. But other
than that, the border murder rates, inflation at a forty
year high nearly when you consider what's going on with
(11:17):
the supply chain crisis and the inability of people to
get oftentimes what they're trying to get inside of the stores.
When you look at COVID hospitalizations set a new high yesterday,
they're likely to set another new high today. COVID cases
are at a new high I just challenge you. This
is the existential larger picture question that gets asked many
times in elections. It really cuts to the nitty gritty
(11:41):
of it. Are you better off today than you were
a year ago? I think there are very few people
in America that can say, hey, you know what, everything's
better in this country now because of Joe Biden. I
don't think there's anything he can argue. And that's why
he's focused on chasing wind meals, windmills in some way,
trying to label the Republicans as race because they won't
change voting there. I like the don Quixote referenced by there. Yeah,
(12:03):
for the folks at home, you've probably got a favorite
coffee brand right now, Well it should be Black Rifle
coffee because that's my favorite, all right, Clay and I
love Black Rifle. It's what I drink every morning. I
go with the hot stuff, right, I throw that cake
up in their silence or smooth just black caf can't
say what that means in the radio, but it's great.
Coffee gets you fired up. Clay likes the cold. There's
espresso espresso rather not espresso mocha. Clay loves that stuff.
(12:28):
They're amazing, great taste in coffee's, folks, you're gonna love this.
Black Rifle is a veteran owned coffee brand. They serve
premium coffee to people who love America. I start off
every day with Black Rifle, and I have it in
the afternoon too, And Clay is going to be up
to two a day, I'm sure with all the work
he does of the cold espresso mocha. The best way
to enjoy their coffee is with the Black Rifle Coffee Club.
(12:49):
When you join the club, your chosen brew is roasted, packaged,
and shipped right to your front door for free on
your schedule. Shipping is free all right. You save a
trip to the store and you receive special disc counts
on roasts and amazing products. I've got some of their
gear to Clay. How do people get hooked up with
Black Rifle Buck? I love it. Everyone out there will
love it as well. You can buy the coffee at
Black Rifle dot com. Use the promo code Clay and Buck.
(13:12):
You'll get twenty percent off your purchase and your first
Coffee Club order. That's Black Riflecoffee dot Com promo code
Clay and Buck. Yes or no, would you be willing
to submit to Congress and the public a financial disclosure
that includes your past and current investments. I don't understand
(13:34):
why you're asking me that question. My financial disclosure is
public knowledge and has been so for the last thirty
seven years or so thirty five years. Big tech giants
are doing an incredible job of keeping it from being public.
We'll continue to look for it. Where would we find it?
What do you have to do is ask for it.
You're so misinformed, it's extraordinary. This is a huge issue,
(13:59):
Henry Mark. So, doctor Fouci has answered you to his
public information, and he's happy to give it to you
if you would it has Welcome back to the clan
Buck Show. Fauci, get a little a little smurf, get
a little hot into the collar there. Didn't like it. Look,
his financial disclosures are public information. But you know, you
(14:19):
could tell Fauci this is what this guy does. Actually,
this is what he lives for. He is a make
believe scientist in so many ways. I mean, he might
as well be Bill Nigh, the science guy who, if
you're wondering, has an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell,
but as the science guy. And here you have Fauci
Clay getting getting all sassy and saucy with a senator
(14:42):
yesterday because obviously Rand Paul rattled him a little bit
as he tends to. But Fauci actually he actually says,
and we can play here here is he claims he's
not political after doing things like this, after these bureaucratic
fights he has, how do we stop the misinformation and
just information and anybody who really wants to be objective
(15:03):
and look at some of the preposterous things that are
said out there that are based on no fact, just
you know, everything from wild conspiracy theories to just not
really understanding or to understanding but putting out something that
isn't true. I mean, that's going to make this whole
thing tough. I wish we could reset this and say,
(15:24):
you have your political differences. I'm not a political person.
You know that. You know me for decades, zero political interest.
But maybe we could put the political stuff aside and say,
why if we want to fight politically, let's end this
outbreak first, get back to normal life, and then go
back to our political ideologies. He is such a liar
(15:45):
as well as such a failure it's remarkable. Well, if
that were true, he would do this radio show. If
he truly doesn't care about politics at all and he's
trying to reach the biggest possible audience, he wouldn't have
declined to come on this radio show multiple times when
we have offered him that opportunity. And by the way,
(16:09):
having testified in Congress, it's kind of hard to accidentally
leave your mic on there. I feel like that was
intentional by Fauci. Now he may say, oh, I didn't
know the mic was still on, but you're testifying in
front of Congress, you take your mask off so people
can read your lips. Anyway, I think he wanted to
(16:32):
insult that senator and then claim that he didn't know
that his mic was still on. But the larger context
addressed towards doctor Fauci, there buck would be he talks
about all the misinformation that is out there. When will
they accept the blame meaning Fauci, the CDC, Rachelle will Lyinski,
(16:53):
so many people who are quote scientific experts. When will
they accept the blame for so much that they have
put out there being untrue? They told us this spring
the end of the winter. If you get the COVID vaccine.
You will never spread COVID. It stops with you. You
(17:14):
will never have any that breakthrough cases are exceedingly rare.
There's a ton of people listening to us right now
who are double vaxed, maybe even boostered, and they've got
covid or Buck, they know somebody who is double vaxed
and boosted and got COVID. You told us not to
(17:35):
wear masks, then to wear masks, then we could take
them off. Then you told us we had to put
them back on. When do they accept blame for all
the messaging that they've gotten wrong. I don't see any
of that. I don't ever see Fauci showing up Buck
and saying, hey, you know what, in retrospect, we got
that wrong, or as you've said, a lot Buck. I
never say see Fauci saying that's too much. Yeah, why
(17:55):
does kid tom'side eating lunch on buckets is too much? Clay,
there's a wine bar near me that makes you wear
your mask until your drinks arrive. Yeah's as if that's
a smart They have this policy in the window. It's crazy.
Most people don't bother to look at the contributions made
by companies to politicians. But when you do take the
time to investigate those campaign contributions, it'll disappoint you, probably
(18:19):
in a big way. A lot of your money is
going to support political causes you don't stand for at all.
Now there's a solution. It's Pure Talk. Get your cell
phone service from Pure Talk. They use the exact same towers,
the exact same five G network is one of those
companies making those kinds of donations. But with your peace
of mind, you're supporting a veteran run business with employees
all over the US. Pure Talk. That's why we are
(18:42):
proud customers. Plus, you can save a bundle up to
eight hundred dollars a year from your cell phones right now,
dal pound two fifty say pure Talk, You'll save an
additional fifty percent off your first month dal pound two
five zero say pure talk walcome back end Clay Travis
(19:04):
Buck Sexton show Buck. I know we don't talk hardly
at all about British politics, but we were just talking
about during the break. One thing that has been true
across state lines, across country lines is politicians have consistently,
(19:24):
especially Democrats here, whether it's AOC down in Miami, whether
it's Gretchen Whitmer traveling down to Florida. They've consistently I
think the governor of Illinois basically relocated his whole family
to Florida while he shut down his own state. The
hypocrisy has been pretty staggering. And really what they're saying
is while they're telling all of us, hey, you're in
(19:48):
tremendous danger, their actions by and large don't reflect that
that is true. And sometimes that hypocrisy blows up and
it may end up costing Boris Johnson his position in England.
I don't know how many out there have been following this.
This is pretty funny. So they had a gathering in
(20:11):
May of twenty twenty where Boris Johnson's private secretary sent
out a notice to people telling them, hey, bring your
own beer and we're going to have a party here
at ten Downing Street, which is where the Prime Minister
resides in in England. And some of the details on
(20:32):
this are are pretty crazy because they lied about effectively.
It appears whether they knew it was going to happen
or not. And now the way the situation is going,
Boris Johnson has come out and said that he's sorry
about the way things went. He now has admitted that
he attended the party. He said he thought it was
(20:54):
a work event and the so he lied about attending party,
but they were restricting all gatherings and then they reportedly
had a alcohol infused party for a hundred people at
ten Downing Street Buck. So this is this is bad enough,
Like a massive percentage of people in England now are
(21:16):
calling for Boris Johnson to resign. And Boris Johnson has
been a guy who historically has always been in hot
water and then kind of wriggled his way out of trouble.
But he says he understands public fury, took responsibility, said
he believed it was a work event, even though around
(21:37):
a hundred people were invited and urged to quote bring
your own booze. He says, I bitterly regret it. I
wish we could have done things differently. And the rules
at the time in England said that no gatherings of
more than two people were allowed. I mean, this is
(21:58):
it's amazing the fallout that has occurred for people in
positions of power during COVID, whether it's Andrew Cuomo and
I know it was technically me too that took him out,
not COVID. Gavin Newsom gets recalled. Yes, he won the
recall election. And we know what happened in Virginia and
(22:19):
nearly happened in New Jersey. And I think Buck, all
of this time together, I think there's going to be
an angry red tide that is going to sweep out politicians,
and some of the politicians that end up losing Buck,
I think it's going to be such a red tide
that we don't even talk about the possibility they might lose.
Like Murphy, the governor of New Jersey, almost lost his
(22:43):
reelection bid this past November, and all the focus was
on Virginia and whether Young Kun to pull off the upset,
and nobody even talked about Murphy. Is Is it remarkable
when you think about how some of the biggest advocates
for lockdowns the most publicly in favor of and by
lockdowns we mean everything, right, the policies of masking and
(23:04):
masking up between bites and six feet of social distancing
maybe three feet, maybe twenty feet, who knows, they keep changing, right,
all of those things. You look at the people who
were the most sanctimonious about it in public life, and
time and again they are caught being huge frauds. Really
almost without exception. I mean, find out a prominent Democrat
who is really at the top of the heap, whether
(23:26):
it is governor former governor Cuomo or Newsom or Pelosi
or AOC recently, and you look at all these different individuals,
and it just goes to show you that it's not
just the hypocrisy, it's the notion that a true tyranny
is not the strict enforcement of laws for everybody. That's
actually not what you have in the Soviet Union. That's
(23:47):
not what you have in North Korea. It's very strict
and capricious enforcement of laws. So some people get crushed
by the machinery of the state and in this case,
by the machinery of the Fauciite lockdown madness. Other people
get to live by different rules. When that's possible, you
don't have the universal burden across society, and so of
(24:08):
course it's much easier for people to be advocates for
this who are at the top. The same thing that
we see is with the we're all in this together.
We had all these upper middle class libs in Santa
Monica and Brooklyn and whatever. The fancy parts of Chicago
and Atlanta, Buckhead, right, you know whatever, Yeah, and the
fancy parts having their food delivered to them at home
(24:33):
doing zoom in their pajamas, talking about how we're all
in this together, while the truckers, the grocery store workers,
the postal delivery people, et cetera. Go down the list,
the cops, firefighters, they were all doing their jobs. They weren't.
We weren't all in this together. It was always a
lie because Clay, if we had been all in it together,
and if Boris Johnson had had to be in it
(24:53):
with everybody too in the UK, and Pelosi and Schumer
and all the rest of them here, maybe they wouldn't
have been able to stomach this stuff as long as
they did. And it is interesting because do you agree
with me that the tide of anger is unlikely to subside.
I know you've talked about it a little bit, Buck
(25:15):
where you feel like things are so bad for Biden
they can't possibly stay this bad. But I think it's
highly unlikely if you look at the Senate that there's
anything that's really going to get past in the Senate
for the next several months. And then once you get
into the summer and the campaign season for twenty twenty two,
barring some sort of crazy surprise, and there could be
(25:36):
a crazy surprise, right, Russia could invade Ukraine, China could
invade Taiwan. That sort of upsets the overall Apple card
of expectation. Certainly, if we've been having this conversation in
January of twenty twenty, we'd have been saying, hey, things
look pretty good for Trump to win reelection, overwhelmingly because
COVID hadn't yet hit. We just hit a new If
(25:57):
you go back and read the newspapers in January. In
February of twenty twenty, you know, we still haven't gotten
anywhere back to the same number of people who were employed. Right,
they talk about the unemployment rate, but there are millions
of people they just have decided not to go back
to work, and something crazy could happen. But I tend
to think this red tide is going to be overwhelming,
and I think it's going to be fueled in many
(26:18):
ways by COVID anger. I think there are people who
are beginning to see for the first time that there
is no exit plan from the madness. Not that there are,
there's like a big chunk of the country who unfortunately,
I think that they are emotionally incapable of handling real
(26:41):
life right now, of just handling the risks that are
out there with COVID and from everything else, because as
we've talked about, they've ramped up the fear so very
much because it was useful to defeat Donald Trump. But
you have that middle ten to twenty percent of the
country who are open to persuasion one way or the other,
and they're seeing that. You know, Fauci can whine and
(27:01):
moan all day about how people are mean to him
and everything else. This has been the CDC. I think
actually Scott Gottlieb, who's the former FDA chairman, who's one
of these guys who appears on MSNBC and CNN. You know,
he's pretty well known. He's also on the board of Feiser.
By the way, Yeah, that's convenience. I think it's interesting
to put that. He says, the CDC is just it
needs to basically be scrapped and rebuilt, which is funny
(27:22):
because I actually wrote an editorialletbucksx and dot com about
that a few days ago where I'm like, yeah, it
does the CDC is a giant failure. Anyone who's looking
objectively at the last twelve months would have to say
that decision was made after decision with poor results and
in some cases disastrous results. But here's here's my problem
(27:43):
with all this, Clay. I think that the Democrats, as
a result of this, they just run the scorched earth
insurrection Republicans are racists, the unvaccinated or murdering people playbook.
They just go, oh and they try to change the
election laws wherever they can, because what are they going
to argue, right, what's actually the case going to be?
(28:04):
Joe Biden's a clown. Everyone listening to this radio show
knows it. Even the Democrats listening to this radio show
know it. They knew it before they voted for him.
I think, yeah, it's a great point, it's gonna be interesting,
and we'll talk about this, I'm sure a great deal.
But Bill Clinton and Barack Obama had the political skills
after they got she lacked in the mid terms of
(28:25):
their first term to rebuild to the point where they
got re elected. You know who's trying to get reelected
right now? Maybe we can talk about this at the
top of the second hour or get elected get back
into polio office. Hillary Rodham Clinton coincidence not a coincidence
that the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal,
both on the same day, have editorials talking about her
(28:46):
coming back. In the meantime, our friend Mike Lindel, he's

Clay and Buck or call eight hundred seven nine two
(29:51):
three two six nine. That's eight hundred seven nine two
three two six nine. Welcome back to the Clay and
Buck Show. Everybody. We have the possibility of some huge
shakeups in the political world in the next twelve months,
and yeah, we're gonna try to get ahead of some
(30:12):
of it. We see what's coming off and we certainly
saw what was coming with the Biden regime and COVID.
But we're going to talk to you about one possibility
that would just be amazing, which is Hillary Clinton. They're
writing about it out there, Hillary Clinton stepping in for
Joe Biden. Now she's she's not, you know, on the
(30:33):
young side for a politician, but you know, just put
it out there. She's younger than Joe Biden though, and
I think everyone's starting to realize this Joe Biden thing,
it's just not working for anybody. Democrats the country. So
we're going to talk to you about the Hillary situation
a moment and also want to tell you that if
you ever miss any part of the show, please subscribe
to the Clay and Buck podcast. We really want to
(30:54):
set an all time record for this month. We've been
on the air together for about seven months now and
we would love for all of you to become subscribers.
Great way to listen. See you listen on your local station.
But if you ever miss an hour, you got to
take you pick up the kids, or you're at work
and you can't sneak the earpod you know, the AirPods
or the earbuds in you know how it is, Clay,
They got the TPS reports coming your way. Lumberg starts
(31:16):
coming by the cubicles. Hey Clay, what's happening? And you
got to put in that earbud or else you get
nailed if you have the speakers on. We should allow
people to tell us. I was reading and I shared
with you. There's a great substack piece up from Bari
Weiss about Hollywood trying to grapple with Woke Universe taking
(31:36):
over in LA and what it's doing for hiring and
I don't know if you watched the Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Do you watch the most recent season. I've seen some
of it. You you are up on the TV pop
culture too, Yeah, well, I mean I try to do
the way that I dial out to watching shows with
my wife late at night. Now, so I watched Curb
Curb Your Enthusiasm, and there's a great satire is not
(32:00):
directly acknowledged that's going on throughout the entirety of the season.
Every time that Larry meets with an entertainment executive, Netflix, Hulu, HBO,
whoever it is, there's a white guy in charge, and
the white guy has like a coterie of three advisers
who are the most diverse and inclusive group you could
(32:21):
possibly imagine there for every meeting with them. And it's
almost like the piece that Bari Weiss's substack has up
talks about the need for woke insurance because people in
high levels of prominence in Hollywood are terrified to say
what they actually think, and so they've surrounded themselves with
diverse and inclusive audiences to try to protect themselves. This
(32:43):
all comes right out of the academy. This is really
what the diversity czars or when I was at Amurst,
it was diversity educators. They called them people whose only
job was to walk around have meaningless forums that nobody
would attend except for a few students who wanted to
wind up about how everything is everything you're going to
diversity inclusion seminars in college. I also I also love
(33:06):
the uh. This was a common theme at Amherst. You'd
have you know, a white kid who grew up in
the wealthiest suburbs of Boston or maybe in you know, Westchester,
the area of New York and his parents Range Rover,
no offense, Clai, your Range Rover guy and his parents
Range Rover, who would get up at the pony be like,
we are so racist at this school, and it's like, dude,
(33:27):
it's so obvious, man, just give it a break. There
was so much of that that would go on. Um.
But this is this comes right out of the school system,
the university system, where they've been creating this really army
of diversity educators for years so that they can seem
less racist. And now it's gone into corporate America and
all the rest of it, and you have all this
corporate inclusion trading. By the way, since you're throwing shows
out there all the time. Because now I'm by the way,
(33:48):
the Travis family has got me. Now now I have
like as it is, I gotta find a wife, Travis.
I gotta get married. I have time for this stuff.
I'm watching Yellowstone now I'm watching I'm watching cobrac Hi again.
I was just you know, I needed I'm just starting
Cobra Kai. When college football season ends and I don't
have to be on the road as much, I suddenly
find myself with more time. There's a reason two of
(34:10):
my three kids are born in September. People can do
the math. But that's when I catch up on all
the television viewing. And have you seen Peaky Blinders? That's great?
Oh you've already seen it, all right? No, no, I've
heard it's great. I haven't, haven't. I haven't seen that. No.
Top of the list for you, mister Travis. Peaky Blinders.
When you have some time for the new show, you
and the missus, you got to push through the first
(34:31):
three episodes. It can be a little bleak and a
little it's very violent and a little intense. Such a
great show though. The team here, Ali and Mike and Greg.
You guys all see Peaky Blinders. This is completely insane.
I'm like a man on an island all alone here.
None of them have seen it. Where is it set.
It's in England, right, nineteen twenties, Birmingham, England gangsters. It's amazing.
(34:53):
They call them the peaky blinders because this is pretty rough.
So ear muffs for the kids. They had these little
kind of derby hats, I guess you'd call them, and
they kept razor blades in the brim and they would
use the hat as a weapon and try to slash
people with his Holy Cow and sometimes in the face
and the eyes. That's whether the peaky Blinders. Yeah, yeah,
they didn't. Actually they don't actually show that though, or
(35:13):
maybe they do. I don't know. Let's not get into
that right now. Arnold in Florida, what do you got
for us? You know what? I was thinking that Fauci
doesn't want to politicize the virus, but you know, he's
been at the helm for two years and I'm wondering
why we haven't had an all hands on deck operation
warp speed for the therapeutics, especially now when we know
(35:34):
that the virus effectiveness is spotty at best. That's great.
That's a great it's a great point. That's what Jim
Jordan said yesterday with us bucket. It's what a lot
of people have argued. I listened to the Joe Rogan
podcast with doctor Malone saying that our biggest failure of
COVID response has been not trying to get involved in
(35:54):
pushing therapeutics as aggressively. We may thank Arnold a great points.
We're out of time, but we appreciate you're holding and
talking to us there in Florida. Clay, I'd say this,
the Visor pill maybe a huge way forward for us,
because at least now you have big pharma incentivized with
(36:14):
something that's not vaccines only. And maybe the all of
the above approach will hasten the end of the madness
for people. If they know that you get sick, you
take the pill, you're gonna be you know, ninety percent.
I don't know what the numbers are, so I don't
want to say, but you know, you're basically gonna be. Okay,
Maybe they'll calm down, or maybe the American people will
be fooled and devoting for Hillary Shrillery Clinson. This might
(36:39):
actually happen, Folks. You could be running again, according to
some of the intelligentsia, Clay, you want to dive into
us in a few minutes, one hundred percent. We're gonna
come right back and talk about it. Do we see
it happening. We're gonna look into the future. Next on
