Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We roll
through the Wednesday edition of the program. I've already been
talking about a great deal. Help us set an all
time high in June like we did in May. By
(00:20):
downloading the podcast, you can search out my name Clay Travis,
you can search out Buck Sexton. You can join us
in the fight for sanity every single day. I know
a lot of you like both of us. Buck is
down in the Florida Keys, I am in Atlanta. A
lot of you going to be on the road during June, July,
August as we roll into hopefully what will be a
(00:41):
red wave, red tsunami of a fall, and you can
grab the podcast and be able to listen to every
single minute wherever you are. Let me give you a
little bit of a preview. Ian Miller, who has been
fantastic on COVID data, is scheduled to join us at
the top of the next hour. Wrote a book about
masking and how it may zero sense based on all
the data. Think you guys will enjoy that, and then
(01:03):
Senator Josh Holly of Missouri to talk about the latest
on the gun issue in what will be passed or
not passed by the Senate as they try and rush
that through. But not surprisingly, the January sixth hearings continue
to try to drum up a large variety of interest
(01:26):
in Donald Trump because that's really the only thing that
unites the Democrats now, and I think this story deserves
way more attention than it's getting. Stephen Colbert had a
bunch of producers on his show that were caught trespassing
in the Capitol office buildings. Now, of course this is
(01:50):
the same sort of thing on January sixth that everybody's
obsessed with, and that there are still people and I
can't believe this is still going on. There are still
people in solitary confinement that were arrested for violations of
the law on January sixth, solitary confinement. I donated, by
(02:10):
the way, money to help those people get warriors so
that they can get out of that solitary confinement. We
have covered that story because almost no one else is
covering it. But when all these Stephen Colbert producers got arrested,
Colbert didn't apologize, he didn't say are bad, he didn't
(02:31):
say we did something wrong. He actually went on his show,
which let's remember he is on in the place where
David Letterman used to be on. He's a late night
comedic talk show host who has effectively turned his show
into Democrat propaganda. And he lectured everyone out there who
(02:57):
would draw any equivalents or similarity between the behavior of
his staff and January sixth, even though a lot of
people who were arrested on January sixth were in there,
taken selfies and weren't existential threats to democracy, as Democrats
have been arguing for a long time. Listen to Stephen Colbert,
who's supposed to be funny, lecture all of you for
(03:20):
daring to hold his staff accountable. Now, it's predictable why
these TV talkers are talking like this on the TV.
They want to talk about something other than the January
sixth hearings on the actual seditionist insurrection that led to
the deaths of multiple people and the injury of over
one hundred and forty police officers, but drawing any equivalence
between rioters storming our capital to prevent the counting of
(03:42):
electoral ballots and a cigar chomping toy dog is a
shameful and grotesque insult to the memory of everyone who died,
and it obscenely trivializes the service and the courage the
Capitol Police showed on that terrible day. The only person
who died on January sixth was Ashley Babbitt, and she
(04:04):
was shot by a Capitol Police officer. Buck, Are you
as disgusted by Stephen Colbert as I am, and by
his inability or unwillingness to acknowledge that his staff did
something wrong here? I expect nothing more from him. So
it's disgusting. But that's about in line with what you've
seen from the transformation of that storied slot, you know,
(04:29):
which was meant to be entertaining at night for the
American people, right it changed. It's become a yet another
pathetic propaganda platform, not even willing to push the envelope
with jokes, just willing to make propaganda night in a
night out. And so I thought it's funny too. It's
a seditious insurrection, you know that they're really pushing this
(04:53):
stuff hard. One would think that all insurrections required a
degree of sedition but anywa. But the bigger problem I
think we see here Clay is yet again the arbitrary
and politicized enforcement of the law. This can pull apart
a society. When you think of countries where people are
not free, where they're truly not free. One thing that
(05:17):
is always the case is whatever the justice system may be,
whatever the law enforcement, prosecutorial and incarceration apparatus may be,
it is always showing favoritism. It is often capricious, and
it is at the whim of those in power. It
doesn't actually involve basic principles, it doesn't actually involve justice
(05:40):
in a true sense of the word. And this is
what we see with Democrats all over and over again.
I mean the fact that, as you said, we've had
these individuals, in some cases for entirely non violent and
not even particularly destructive acts, held in solitary confinement, and
that some judges have said they need to be held
in confinement. This is true. This is from the judge's
(06:02):
orders because of the risk of another insurrection. Yeah, I'm
sure these people who have had their lives ruined really thinking,
let me go and try to take another selfie inside
the capitol Sometime soon. It's outrageous and we all know that.
But look at the way, even as we often talk
about the crime issue Clay in different cities, there's this.
(06:23):
At the same time that the government was willing to
enforce mandatory vaccination mandatory, they would arrest people for going
to church. They would arrest people, men and women with badges,
would man handle you for failure to mask up properly
in public venues, which was lunacy. It did nothing, And
(06:45):
the people who pushed those policies are idiots. They do
that at the same time that they don't want the
enforcement of quality of life crimes. They don't want the
enforcement of laws against theft, against vagrancy, against simple assault,
against burglary, you name it. So the States somehow, in
the same period of time Clay has decided, Democrats have
(07:08):
decided laws about COVID whatever it is, will enforce and
we'll use the full force of the law. But laws
that actually keep people safe, oh no, those will ignore.
But when there's politics involved, like there was in the
January sixth riot, the full force of the law brought
down without any compunction against these people. This is abuse
(07:28):
of the worst kind. Has anything surprised you and I
pay attention way more than ninety nine point nine percent
of people to overall news stories because it's our job.
Has anything surprised you that has come out from January sixth?
The hearings, Yes, the severity of the punishment, oh than
(07:49):
the hear in terms of the hearings themselves. Has anything
have you know? Because I knew everything, I want to
play everything that they were talking about, and yeah, go
go ahead and play it. Because he's arguing Stelter is who,
by the way, the reports have been maybe on his
way out at CNN, but Brian Stelter is trying to argue, Oh,
the right wing media is totally burying everything that's going
(08:13):
on surrounding January sixth. My argument would be Buck that
we're not burying anything. It's just all of this has
been reported in the Washington Post and the New York
Times and MSNBC and CNN, add infinitum. There's nothing really
new to anything that's being presented. But here's his argument.
Nobody's paying enough attention to January sixth, then everybody's burying it. Listen,
(08:37):
they absolutely hate the hearing story and we'll do anything
not to talk about it. Oh, An, for example, goes
and interviews lawyers of accused rioters who are in jail
instead of talking about the hearing. Or Carlson obsesses over
Stephen Colbert's crew being detained to the Capitol, claims that's
an insurrection in order to mock the real insurrection. I
can't express enough how right wing media is burying what
(08:58):
is going on at these hearings, pretending it's not happening,
and that affects politicians as well. You have senators, lawmakers
on the Republican side saying they're not watching, and they're
proud to say they're not watching because their viewers aren't either.
If you look at the ratings for Fox SUS on
the three days that they did show the hearings, dropped
like a rock. The audience literally just crater during the
hearing and then came right back afterwards. That's the reality
(09:18):
of the Republican Party bubble thanks to the GOP media.
It's funny that he mentioned ratings because while CNN has
been covering January sixth obsessively, last week they hit a
twenty two year low in the number of viewers that
they have, and I think that's because most CNN viewers
already know everything about January sixth, two buck. They're trying
(09:39):
to repackage this and try to play it as if
there's new revelations coming. I pay a lot of attention
to the media coverage. I've been watching all the January
sixth coverage for eighteen months now. I told you that
I watched the opening primetime hearings. I know you did too.
I watched the first twenty minutes. I said, they ain't
got nothing new. They still don't. This was a riot.
(10:00):
People deserve to be punished who rioted. But this idea
that it was a coup or an insurrection, I haven't
seen anything that haven't already been written about. There's a
critical question that needs to be asked about all of
this too, and they don't have or they won't give
a real answer. What exactly are we supposed to do
(10:22):
now about all of this? They keep talking about the insurrection. Okay, Clay,
you weren't there. I wasn't there. I condemned it, you
condemned it. This audience wasn't there. We've already had people
in solitary confine. We've already had people get lengthy prison
terms for non violent crimes. The media has talked about
it obsessively. What exactly are we supposed to do? And
(10:46):
you see you asked this question, you go, hold on, Oh,
this is really just about politics. Actually they say it's
about saving our sacred democracy. But what it's really about
is maligning Donald Trump to the greatest possible extent so
that he will be either not a candidate or not
a viable candidate for the presidency. Again, this is all politics.
(11:10):
There's no takeaway from this. They're not saying going forward,
here's how we would avoid I got an idea. Don't
have Capitol police on video in different places, wave people
in closer to the Capitol. And there are a lot
of security procedures that we could actually talk about going forward.
You know, give National Guard protection in advance if you
(11:31):
think there is going to be some kind of a riot.
But you see, if it were about security, and if
we were about the things they sometimes pretend, then we'd
also want to say, what about the riot out in
front of the White House when Trump was president? What
about attempting to burn down a church that was one
hundred and fifty years old right across from the White House,
or burning down a federal courthouse in Portland, trying to
trying successfully burning down a police station in Minneapolis. The
(11:55):
billions of dollars. They didn't do billions of dollars of
damage inside the Capitol. They didn't have dozens of people
who died as a result of the Capitol. Dozens of
people died because of a Democrat movement known as BLM,
which was used to intimidate voters in an election year.
And we saw this from the businesses that were boarded up.
They weren't boarded up in case Trump won. None of
(12:16):
that gets brought into this. None of the rejection of
political violence as a tool for the Democrats, None of
that gets discussed or talked about. So this isn't about
our sacred democracy or making a safer This is about
rubbing Trump's face in it and all of his voters
faces in it, so that we won't do the only
same thing now, which is throw these Democrat lunatics out
(12:39):
of office for making the country poorer, weaker, and more
miserable for eighteen months. There you go, Brian Stelter. Nobody
watches CNN. Lots of people listen to this radio show.
We just talked about January sixth there's nothing there. You're welcome,
by the way, when you get fired at CNN to
come on this show and lecture us about why we
need to cover it more. Maybe people good bid tub
(13:00):
is gonna make fun of make fun of his voice,
and it's gonna say, hey, buddy, why why are you
never artist? With your audience, we will continue to break
down all this and more. I'm telling you you're gonna
love some of the data Ian Miller is going to
give us Senator Josh Holley at two thirty in the
final hour the program. But first, when you refinance your
mortgage to access cash, you're borrowing against an appreciating asset.
(13:23):
That's a fancy way to say your home's worth much
more today than it was a year ago, and that
gives you an opportunity to take some of that increased
cash value out of your home to help pay bills,
remodel a portion of your home, or do something to
improve the quality of your life. It's also a really
smart strategy if you want to pay off high interest
(13:44):
debt faster. That is, you have credit card debt out
there growing at twenty plus percent a year, and all
of it can start with a phone call to American
Financing because they're gonna take care of you. Believe me,
We've been through the process. Take a ten minute call.
Biggest expense out there is most people in our lives
are mortgages with homes, credit card debt, got kids in school,
(14:08):
a lot of expenses there. All you have to do
is make one ten minute call and they'll give you
a free mortgage review where they look at your current
loan terms, any high interest debt you might be contending with,
and they help you put your financial house in order.
Eight hundred seven seven seven eighty one oh nine. Super easy.
You can save a thousand dollars a month, you could
(14:29):
say a hundred thousand dollars or more over the life
of your loan, and all it takes is one ten
minute phone call. American Financing Column Today eight hundred seven
seven seven eighty one oh nine. That phone number one
more time eight hundred seven seven seven eighty one oh nine.
You can also visit American Financing dot net, MLS one

I have to take the but I don't think we're
society that is ruled by law. We're in a revolutionary
period right now, something like eighteenth century France or nineteen
twenties Russia, where the law is fluid and it's whatever
the power to be says it is. So just to
(15:15):
take some examples, if you're James o'keeee, or you're Peter Navarre,
or you're Roger Stone, you're gonna have an FBI come
down on you like you don't know why. But if
you we use a you know, a subpoena like Eric
Holder did, or if you lie to a federal investigator
like Andrew McCabe did, or you lie under at both
to the US Congress like both John Brennan, James Clapper,
(15:37):
there's no consequences. Welcome back to Clay and Buck. That
was the very excellent Victor Davis Hansen there really reiterating
a point we're just talking about a few minutes ago
on how the political application of the law is so
toxic to a free society. And you have to ask
the question, are we ruled by the law these days
(16:00):
or are we ruled by men who have and women
who have political access to grind and power to achieve.
Because Clay the border, there's the primary motivation for Democrats
is not rule of law in major cities really all
across the country now criminal justice, it's not the equal
(16:21):
application of the law what we saw in January six
and the treatment of those defendants not the equal application
of the law. We're heading into some stormy waters with this,
There's no doubt. And we talked earlier about Andrew Gillham
getting charged with twenty one felony counts. There are oftentimes
(16:43):
politicians that are not very powerful who get felony counts
brought against them or their family. One of the big
lessons of January sixth is there is a clear attempt
on behalf of Democrats to get Donald Trump charged with
felonies relating to January sixth. Simultaneously, you and I have
(17:07):
a bet about Hunter Biden and all of the complicity.
There is evidence on his laptop of what he has
been involved in in terms of selling access to the
Biden family. Will anything happen there? We already know that
Hillary Clinton's campaign, to a large extent, based on the
forum in which they were having the Subsman trial, was
(17:30):
able to avoid criminal allegations being proven, despite the fact
that there were a lot of details given about all
of her complicity in the Great Russia Collusion hoax. There's
all these dueling interpretations of what the law is involving
powerful people, how is the law going to be applied?
(17:53):
And most importantly, does the American public out there have
confidence that if you're in a position of power, wall
will be applied barely against you. It's one of the
biggest questions of our time. I think it's fair to
say there are a lot of worthy nonprofits out there
doing really good work, but one of our absolute favorites
is the Tunnel of the Towers Foundation. They're amazing. They've
(18:14):
been supporting America's heroes and their families ever since nine
to eleven. When a first responder or a military service
member doesn't come home and young children are left behind,
Tunnel the Towers pays off their mortgage to lift the
financial burden and bring their family stability or horribly injured
veterans and first responders. Tunneath the Towers builds mortgage free
smart homes, enabling our most severely injured heroes to live
(18:35):
more independent lies. If you've ever seen one of these homes,
they're remarkable. Now, through Operation Home Base, Tunata Towers is
gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans. Help these heroes and
their families. Join Tunatha Towers on its mission to do
good in their honor. Donate eleven dollars a month. Clay
and I are donors every month. Join us eleven dollars
a month. That T two T dot org. That's t
(18:57):
the number two T dot org. Welcome back in Clay,
Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out
with us. And we've obviously been talking a lot on
the program about the need and necessity for a red
wave to exist in November a little bit over what
(19:18):
four months from now, basically as we get ready to
roll into July and a lot of people are going
to be paused with the July fourth holiday. We hope
all of you have fantastic July fourth holiday plans. I
was reading a good piece in the National Journal talking
about how big of a wave could Republicans legitimately have
(19:40):
in terms of how many seats could be added in
the House. And look, in twenty ten, the party gained
sixty three seats. Right now, things are better set up
for a red wave in twenty twenty two, But the
number of seats that potentially could be available are smaller
because not a lot of people are discussing. In twenty twenty,
(20:02):
Republicans picked up twelve seats. So Buck, you and I
have been discussing what exactly a historic wave would represent,
and the raw numbers may not be there just because
there are fewer and fewer seats that are theoretically in
play now. Earlier in the show, you pointed out, Buck
that you talked to your buddy ned Ryan, and he said, hey,
(20:25):
there are some seats out there, ten or fifteen point
Democrat favored seats, maybe even some twenty point seats that
twenty right, Yeah, for four months from now. But historically,
this National Journal piece raises an interesting analysis. If there
were thirty five seats picked up by House Republicans, that
(20:50):
would give the Republican Party its highest number of seats
two hundred and forty eight seats. Under the auspices of
this hypothetical, that would be the most seats that Republicans
have had in the House since nineteen twenty eight, since
(21:12):
before we saw Franklin Roosevelt come into office. So this
kind of historically, and you and I are both history buffs.
I was reading this and that was a wow moment
to me. Almost a hundred year high for Republican support
in the House is legitimately a realistic expectation. In this
(21:32):
mid terment about four months, I think that we can
start to separate out the transactional voter from the ideological
voter in terms of who is gettable or persuadable here, right, Meaning,
let's start with the ideological voters. That would be people
for whom the prospect of voting Republican emotionally upsets them,
(21:56):
makes them feel bad about themselves. They watch MSNBC and
they drink those soy lattes, and they cry at night
about the threat of climate change and don't think they
should have children because of the carbon footprint, etc. Etc.
We're not we know it, like we're not. So that's
why there are limitations. Right, So they're the ideological leftist,
(22:18):
the ideological democrat voter, because I think now, because the
trump Um memory for them is still and of course
the media is pushing it all the time. With January six,
they're out of the game. Okay, But now we look
at the transactional voter, people for whom and this this
takes in a lot of independence, but also how motivated.
(22:39):
Are some Democrats. You get some of the rust belt Democrats,
more union focused Democrats, and for them the vote is
a referend This midterm becomes a referendum on what have
we gotten? What has this done? You know, the what
have you done for me lately? Question? What has the
Biden regime done for people? And I think what we're
(23:01):
seeing is a transactional voter avalanche toward the right because
of two things. One the failure based on what the
Biden promises may be. But also so there's what Biden
promised and didn't come through with. But then there's also
the results that we're seeing from different Democrat policies at
(23:23):
the border on crime, obviously with inflation. So there's the
unmet expectations component, and there's the oh my gosh, we
you know, you guys said do X and why will happen?
And Z happen? And it's not good. It means I
have less money, it means I'm less safe, it means
I have less freedom. So I think that we're seeing
(23:45):
about as much of a shift as you could realistically
see of the transactional vote, the persuadable voter, or however
you want to put it because what else is there
right now? I mean, what else can you point to?
You know, the gas tax holiday gimmick we talked about
the top of the show, Biden team is they're they're out,
They're out of They're out of magic tricks, folks, there's
(24:05):
nothing left for them. Here's the way I'd think about it.
And I'm in Atlanta right now, and I can look
out my studio and I can see the Atlanta Braves
baseball stadium. And let me give you a sports analogy.
Buck they say in baseball, you play one hundred and
sixty two games. That is an unbelievable amount of games
to play. And the old canard in baseball is pretty
(24:29):
much every team's gonna win sixty. Pretty much every team's
gonna lose sixty. It's what you do with the other
forty two that matter. And so it's hard to lose.
It's sixty sixty, what do you do with the other
forty two? I would say a landslide election is approaching
(24:50):
sixty percent of voters because to your point, forty percent
of people are voting Republican. They are allied, it is
their brand. Forty percent of people are voting Democrat is
their brand. They are allied. It's the other twenty percent
that decide everything. And I believe almost all of that
twenty percent the persuadable middle. Now, a lot of whom
(25:12):
are listening to us right now because they're so desperate
for sanity. We have attracted the persuadable middle, the reason
why we're number one in all those markets. Yes, Rush
did a phenomenal job, but things have gotten way crazier
since Russia left us. And I think a lot of
people out there every single day look around and don't
(25:34):
recognize the America that they live in, and they aren't
particularly affiliated with one party or the other. They just
think in terms of sane and insane. They're overwhelmingly breaking
for Republicans because right now the Republican Party is the
same party, despite what they want to tell you out
there in the larger media ecosystem. There are a lot
(25:55):
of things that Democrats believe, such as, hey, when a
baby's sometimes a doctor gets it wrong when he says
it's a boy, it's a girl. No he doesn't, all right,
No she doesn't. When Megan Rapino is saying, hey, if
you want your girls are playing high school sports, It
(26:17):
doesn't really matter what happens in those sports. If a
boy wants to play and he identifies as a girl,
you should basically just suck it up and deal with it.
These are things that people look at and say, this
is crazy. Eight point six percent inflation, five dollar gas.
The Democrats are the party of insanity. What they are
arguing for does not make sense to common people out there,
(26:39):
and that is why we're gonna get a landslide election
in twenty two and I hope it extends to twenty four.
This is also what we're seeing in the data already,
the polling data and all the anecdotal data, as well
as Texas thirty four or that district that just went
for a Republican Mira Flores. A lot of Hispanics, and
I don't transactional, or I don't mean that as any
(27:01):
kind of a criticism, but they've you know, I vote
for this person because I mean, everybody at some levels transactional.
But it's just a question of how ideologically attached to
a certain platform or certain individual you may feel. And
I think a lot of Hispanic voters are trending for
the GOP because they're saying, we vote for people, not
because as much of the identification with the Democrat Party
(27:25):
that we feel, you know, innately, intrinsically, you know, in
the depth of our soul. Right again, going to the
more coastal, elite, deep blue Democrat mentality, they vote basically
they want, you know, good schools. They want normalcy in
the schools in terms of what's being taught. They want
safe streets, they want economic opportunity, they want to be
able to build businesses, they want to be able to
(27:46):
pay reasonable taxes, and they want a reasonable and reasonably
effective government. Now maybe they want a government that's more
active sometimes and more helpful of than what you would
see on the right. But if that is your approach,
if you want safe schools, reasonable economics, safe streets, you
have to vote Republican. Now. You have to if nothing else,
(28:07):
to repudiate the Democrat failures that we're seeing, which is
why now, what was the most recent fifty five percent
of Hispanics nationally are leaning for a Republican candidate. Sounds
good to me. I'm hoping we get up to sixty
sixty five. Yeah, no doubt. And I just wanted to
contextualize that thirty five seat because a lot of people
have in their minds. Oh, in twenty ten, it was
(28:29):
a sixty seat swing, but that's a function of what's
available and what's not available. Thirty five, Just put thirty
five in your minds out there would lead to the
largest Republican majority in the House in nearly a hundred years.
That's how much of a landslide it would have occurred
(28:49):
in the House of Representatives. And I think that's worth
keeping in your mind as we move towards the midterms
as a number that would be good to hit our friends.
We are traveling and we are away from home right now.
Buck us down in Key West. I am in Atlanta.
One of the things that stinks about traveling you're not
in your same bed, and you also don't have the
same pillows, you don't have the same sheets, you don't
(29:10):
have the same setup that you've gotten used to in
your home. That's why Mike Lindell is a big part
of Buck and Mine's home environment. That's why I'm encouraging
you to take advantage of a flash sale going on
right now on all my pillow products. Walmart is deciding
they are going to cancel my pillow now is the
(29:31):
time to take advantage of my pillows show your support
for someone who should not be cancelable. You can use
the promo code Clay and Buck. All my pillows on
sale right now. They won't go flat, you can wash
and drive them constantly, and they're made in the US
with a sixty day money back guarantee. Here's how you

going on right now, prices as low as nineteen dollars

You know team I happen to be down in Florida,
and who do I stumble upon but former President Trump himself,
(30:32):
and he has a lot of thoughts for us, including
on our one year anniversary. On current occupant of the
White House, Joe Biden, much more, mister President, good to
have you with us. Well, I want to say congratulations
to you Buck and also to Clay on your one
year anniversary of Fantastic Radio. You know, you're really doing
a good, tremendous job. And we're down here at a
(30:55):
beautiful convention and on Key Largo. You know they call
it Key Largo. It's quite frankly the largest key and
the greatest key in the history of the Florida Keys.
When you look at it, everyone's driving golf carts around that.
You know how much I love to golf. And one
thing you don't see, You know, you don't see a
lot of people on bikes out here. Maybe that's because
Sleepy Judges fell. But I can tell you this, I
(31:17):
will never ride a bicycle. I've been saying that I'm
not going to ride a bicycle because I don't want
something like that to happen. But I could probably ride
it better than Lance Armstrong when you think about it.
But I love golf carts. I love golf, and this
is a beautiful place, and you are doing a fantastic job,
you and your partner, Clay. You're doing a fantastic job
standing up for everything, including what Clay likes to say,
(31:39):
the First Amendment at other things. You know, when you
look at it, he said it on fake newscy in it.
But you're doing a wonderful job with your program, and
congratulations on one year, you know, one big beautiful year.
So the price of gas, as you know, mister president,
it's really high right now. And a lot of people
are playing a clip from a couple of years ago
where you say, if Joe Biden becomes president, gas will
(32:02):
be six, seven, eight dollars a gallon. It's already hit
seven dollars a gallon in some parts of California and
some of the higher gas price states. So how did
you see this coming? And how do we get out
of this mess? Well, the fake news is going to
say I was lying because gas is going to go
to ten dollars a gallon, and they're going to say,
you know, look at that. He played it off like
it was nothing. They said only five dollars. I said
(32:25):
five to six, maybe seven dollars a gallon. It's going
up higher than Hunter Biden on a Saturday night. When
you look at it, it's a horrible thing like Elon
Musk rocket ship. It's going to the moon, but you
know they're blaming it on Vladimir Putin. We need to
be energy independent again, and quite frankly, I think it
could happen, and it will happen. Just give it a
(32:46):
few years and we're going to take it all back
and we're going to make America great again. But we
could fix it, and they refuse to fix it. You know. Now,
Sleepy Joe wants to talk about federal gas tax. How
about we look at producing our own energy and stop
relying on Russia, Russia, Russia from energy and oil, and
maybe we could get better gas prices because it's killing people.
(33:06):
Quite frankly, it's killing people, believe me, you know, mister president,
CNN just last week posted its worst week of ratings
in over twenty years, which a lot of people are
saying shows just how broken that network is after your presidency.
So if Jim Acosta is going to bed with tears
(33:28):
at night, knowing that CNN has been beaten up so
badly by Trump, what do you want to say? How
would you encourage CNN to come out of their fake
news slumber? Well, I would say you have to tread
water for two more years that I'll be back, and
then you'll finally have something to talk about because there's
nothing to talk about on the fake news. They don't
talk about anything. They used to talk about Trump, Trump, Trump.
(33:50):
You know, That's why I said the failing New York
Times was probably going to endorse me because I'm the
only thing keeping them afloat, and now they have nothing
to talk about. The ratings are going down, you know,
harder and faster than quite frankly, when Rosie o'donald falls
out of bed. It's a horrible thing that's happening. But
you're seeing the rise of new and better news, and
(34:12):
CNN is going by the wayside unless they shape up,
and they're not going to do that, because you don't.
Quite frankly, they're going to lose even more ratings if
they do that. So I would say, tread water and
wait for me to come back, and then maybe you'll
have something to talk about. And if you're going to
tell folks to follow more of your work, and I
know you're you're very close with a Captain deplorable, where
(34:33):
should everybody go to see what Captain deplorable? You're good
buddies up to Captain deplorable? Forty five dot com. He'll
live you a big, beautiful birthday message and he'll troll
your liberal sister in law if you have one. And
it's a great place to go. So check it out
Captain deplorable forty five dot com and check out the podcast.
It's really incredible, believe me. I mean Clay Clay, that
(34:55):
was our friend, Captain deplorable obviously, who I just I
bumped into in person down here in Florida. He had
been on the show before. Does the best Trump voice
I've ever heard. I mean, I don't I don't think
anybody is quite as good. And he's he's phenomenal. He's
just phenomenal. He is so good. We had him on
Live what maybe two or three months ago, and he
(35:18):
killed it. It It was hard for us to keep a
straight face. And even they are listening to him, it's
so perfectly crafted. He sounds just like Trump. I mean,
he's the best impersonator I've ever heard. I feel like
if he called a lot of people that I know
who do get calls from Trump, he could probably for
a minute or two that he'd probably get away with it.
You know, they'd probably be like, oh, mister President. I
(35:39):
mean he's that good. I mean I think if I
didn't know he was calling, I might be like, uh,
hello again, mister President. Trump comes on the show enough
that if he just had people get in their car.
I keep waiting, it's gonna be like War of the World.
Somebody's gonna report that Trump actually said what Captain Deplorable
playing Trump said, and they could even clip it and argue, you, hey,
(36:00):
this is him, because I think Trump would listen to it.
And I'd like to hear him and Trump going back
and forth talking with each other, because that would be
well almost in one of them. Remember that moment when
Trump let Jimmy fallon you know, kind of rub his hastle,
up his hair whatever. When Trump has he shown sense
of humor about himself, I mean, that is yet another
(36:22):
secret weapon, and people really appreciate that. Never, no matter
who you are, you can never take yourself too seriously. Well,
Trump was great. I mean the bicycle line that we
played yesterday talking about how he'll never ride a bicycle,
and that is what so many of the far left
wing that hated Trump never really got. He had a
decent sense of humor because he has an intuitive sense,
(36:42):
almost like a comedian, How to work a room and
how to work an audience. Why it was so good.
Latest on COVID data by the way. Coming up next
we're gonna be joined by Ian Miller. Should kids get
COVID shots? The latest data, we'll talk about it. Fleet
Travis and Buck Sexton on the front lines UM
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. We roll
through the Wednesday edition of the program. I've already been
talking about a great deal. Help us set an all
time high in June like we did in May. By
(00:20):
downloading the podcast, you can search out my name Clay Travis,
you can search out Buck Sexton. You can join us
in the fight for sanity every single day. I know
a lot of you like both of us. Buck is
down in the Florida Keys, I am in Atlanta. A
lot of you going to be on the road during June, July,
August as we roll into hopefully what will be a
(00:41):
red wave, red tsunami of a fall, and you can
grab the podcast and be able to listen to every
single minute wherever you are. Let me give you a
little bit of a preview. Ian Miller, who has been
fantastic on COVID data, is scheduled to join us at
the top of the next hour. Wrote a book about
masking and how it may zero sense based on all
the data. Think you guys will enjoy that, and then
(01:03):
Senator Josh Holly of Missouri to talk about the latest
on the gun issue in what will be passed or
not passed by the Senate as they try and rush
that through. But not surprisingly, the January sixth hearings continue
to try to drum up a large variety of interest
(01:26):
in Donald Trump because that's really the only thing that
unites the Democrats now, and I think this story deserves
way more attention than it's getting. Stephen Colbert had a
bunch of producers on his show that were caught trespassing
in the Capitol office buildings. Now, of course this is
(01:50):
the same sort of thing on January sixth that everybody's
obsessed with, and that there are still people and I
can't believe this is still going on. There are still
people in solitary confinement that were arrested for violations of
the law on January sixth, solitary confinement. I donated, by
(02:10):
the way, money to help those people get warriors so
that they can get out of that solitary confinement. We
have covered that story because almost no one else is
covering it. But when all these Stephen Colbert producers got arrested,
Colbert didn't apologize, he didn't say are bad, he didn't
(02:31):
say we did something wrong. He actually went on his show,
which let's remember he is on in the place where
David Letterman used to be on. He's a late night
comedic talk show host who has effectively turned his show
into Democrat propaganda. And he lectured everyone out there who
(02:57):
would draw any equivalents or similarity between the behavior of
his staff and January sixth, even though a lot of
people who were arrested on January sixth were in there,
taken selfies and weren't existential threats to democracy, as Democrats
have been arguing for a long time. Listen to Stephen Colbert,
who's supposed to be funny, lecture all of you for
(03:20):
daring to hold his staff accountable. Now, it's predictable why
these TV talkers are talking like this on the TV.
They want to talk about something other than the January
sixth hearings on the actual seditionist insurrection that led to
the deaths of multiple people and the injury of over
one hundred and forty police officers, but drawing any equivalence
between rioters storming our capital to prevent the counting of
(03:42):
electoral ballots and a cigar chomping toy dog is a
shameful and grotesque insult to the memory of everyone who died,
and it obscenely trivializes the service and the courage the
Capitol Police showed on that terrible day. The only person
who died on January sixth was Ashley Babbitt, and she
(04:04):
was shot by a Capitol Police officer. Buck, Are you
as disgusted by Stephen Colbert as I am, and by
his inability or unwillingness to acknowledge that his staff did
something wrong here? I expect nothing more from him. So
it's disgusting. But that's about in line with what you've
seen from the transformation of that storied slot, you know,
(04:29):
which was meant to be entertaining at night for the
American people, right it changed. It's become a yet another
pathetic propaganda platform, not even willing to push the envelope
with jokes, just willing to make propaganda night in a
night out. And so I thought it's funny too. It's
a seditious insurrection, you know that they're really pushing this
(04:53):
stuff hard. One would think that all insurrections required a
degree of sedition but anywa. But the bigger problem I
think we see here Clay is yet again the arbitrary
and politicized enforcement of the law. This can pull apart
a society. When you think of countries where people are
not free, where they're truly not free. One thing that
(05:17):
is always the case is whatever the justice system may be,
whatever the law enforcement, prosecutorial and incarceration apparatus may be,
it is always showing favoritism. It is often capricious, and
it is at the whim of those in power. It
doesn't actually involve basic principles, it doesn't actually involve justice
(05:40):
in a true sense of the word. And this is
what we see with Democrats all over and over again.
I mean the fact that, as you said, we've had
these individuals, in some cases for entirely non violent and
not even particularly destructive acts, held in solitary confinement, and
that some judges have said they need to be held
in confinement. This is true. This is from the judge's
(06:02):
orders because of the risk of another insurrection. Yeah, I'm
sure these people who have had their lives ruined really thinking,
let me go and try to take another selfie inside
the capitol Sometime soon. It's outrageous and we all know that.
But look at the way, even as we often talk
about the crime issue Clay in different cities, there's this.
(06:23):
At the same time that the government was willing to
enforce mandatory vaccination mandatory, they would arrest people for going
to church. They would arrest people, men and women with badges,
would man handle you for failure to mask up properly
in public venues, which was lunacy. It did nothing, And
(06:45):
the people who pushed those policies are idiots. They do
that at the same time that they don't want the
enforcement of quality of life crimes. They don't want the
enforcement of laws against theft, against vagrancy, against simple assault,
against burglary, you name it. So the States somehow, in
the same period of time Clay has decided, Democrats have
(07:08):
decided laws about COVID whatever it is, will enforce and
we'll use the full force of the law. But laws
that actually keep people safe, oh no, those will ignore.
But when there's politics involved, like there was in the
January sixth riot, the full force of the law brought
down without any compunction against these people. This is abuse
(07:28):
of the worst kind. Has anything surprised you and I
pay attention way more than ninety nine point nine percent
of people to overall news stories because it's our job.
Has anything surprised you that has come out from January sixth?
The hearings, Yes, the severity of the punishment, oh than
(07:49):
the hear in terms of the hearings themselves. Has anything
have you know? Because I knew everything, I want to
play everything that they were talking about, and yeah, go
go ahead and play it. Because he's arguing Stelter is who,
by the way, the reports have been maybe on his
way out at CNN, but Brian Stelter is trying to argue, Oh,
the right wing media is totally burying everything that's going
(08:13):
on surrounding January sixth. My argument would be Buck that
we're not burying anything. It's just all of this has
been reported in the Washington Post and the New York
Times and MSNBC and CNN, add infinitum. There's nothing really
new to anything that's being presented. But here's his argument.
Nobody's paying enough attention to January sixth, then everybody's burying it. Listen,
(08:37):
they absolutely hate the hearing story and we'll do anything
not to talk about it. Oh, An, for example, goes
and interviews lawyers of accused rioters who are in jail
instead of talking about the hearing. Or Carlson obsesses over
Stephen Colbert's crew being detained to the Capitol, claims that's
an insurrection in order to mock the real insurrection. I
can't express enough how right wing media is burying what
(08:58):
is going on at these hearings, pretending it's not happening,
and that affects politicians as well. You have senators, lawmakers
on the Republican side saying they're not watching, and they're
proud to say they're not watching because their viewers aren't either.
If you look at the ratings for Fox SUS on
the three days that they did show the hearings, dropped
like a rock. The audience literally just crater during the
hearing and then came right back afterwards. That's the reality
(09:18):
of the Republican Party bubble thanks to the GOP media.
It's funny that he mentioned ratings because while CNN has
been covering January sixth obsessively, last week they hit a
twenty two year low in the number of viewers that
they have, and I think that's because most CNN viewers
already know everything about January sixth, two buck. They're trying
(09:39):
to repackage this and try to play it as if
there's new revelations coming. I pay a lot of attention
to the media coverage. I've been watching all the January
sixth coverage for eighteen months now. I told you that
I watched the opening primetime hearings. I know you did too.
I watched the first twenty minutes. I said, they ain't
got nothing new. They still don't. This was a riot.
(10:00):
People deserve to be punished who rioted. But this idea
that it was a coup or an insurrection, I haven't
seen anything that haven't already been written about. There's a
critical question that needs to be asked about all of
this too, and they don't have or they won't give
a real answer. What exactly are we supposed to do
(10:22):
now about all of this? They keep talking about the insurrection. Okay, Clay,
you weren't there. I wasn't there. I condemned it, you
condemned it. This audience wasn't there. We've already had people
in solitary confine. We've already had people get lengthy prison
terms for non violent crimes. The media has talked about
it obsessively. What exactly are we supposed to do? And
(10:46):
you see you asked this question, you go, hold on, Oh,
this is really just about politics. Actually they say it's
about saving our sacred democracy. But what it's really about
is maligning Donald Trump to the greatest possible extent so
that he will be either not a candidate or not
a viable candidate for the presidency. Again, this is all politics.
(11:10):
There's no takeaway from this. They're not saying going forward,
here's how we would avoid I got an idea. Don't
have Capitol police on video in different places, wave people
in closer to the Capitol. And there are a lot
of security procedures that we could actually talk about going forward.
You know, give National Guard protection in advance if you
(11:31):
think there is going to be some kind of a riot.
But you see, if it were about security, and if
we were about the things they sometimes pretend, then we'd
also want to say, what about the riot out in
front of the White House when Trump was president? What
about attempting to burn down a church that was one
hundred and fifty years old right across from the White House,
or burning down a federal courthouse in Portland, trying to
trying successfully burning down a police station in Minneapolis. The
(11:55):
billions of dollars. They didn't do billions of dollars of
damage inside the Capitol. They didn't have dozens of people
who died as a result of the Capitol. Dozens of
people died because of a Democrat movement known as BLM,
which was used to intimidate voters in an election year.
And we saw this from the businesses that were boarded up.
They weren't boarded up in case Trump won. None of
(12:16):
that gets brought into this. None of the rejection of
political violence as a tool for the Democrats, None of
that gets discussed or talked about. So this isn't about
our sacred democracy or making a safer This is about
rubbing Trump's face in it and all of his voters
faces in it, so that we won't do the only
same thing now, which is throw these Democrat lunatics out
(12:39):
of office for making the country poorer, weaker, and more
miserable for eighteen months. There you go, Brian Stelter. Nobody
watches CNN. Lots of people listen to this radio show.
We just talked about January sixth there's nothing there. You're welcome,
by the way, when you get fired at CNN to
come on this show and lecture us about why we
need to cover it more. Maybe people good bid tub
(13:00):
is gonna make fun of make fun of his voice,
and it's gonna say, hey, buddy, why why are you
never artist? With your audience, we will continue to break
down all this and more. I'm telling you you're gonna
love some of the data Ian Miller is going to
give us Senator Josh Holley at two thirty in the
final hour the program. But first, when you refinance your
mortgage to access cash, you're borrowing against an appreciating asset.
(13:23):
That's a fancy way to say your home's worth much
more today than it was a year ago, and that
gives you an opportunity to take some of that increased
cash value out of your home to help pay bills,
remodel a portion of your home, or do something to
improve the quality of your life. It's also a really
smart strategy if you want to pay off high interest
(13:44):
debt faster. That is, you have credit card debt out
there growing at twenty plus percent a year, and all
of it can start with a phone call to American
Financing because they're gonna take care of you. Believe me,
We've been through the process. Take a ten minute call.
Biggest expense out there is most people in our lives
are mortgages with homes, credit card debt, got kids in school,
(14:08):
a lot of expenses there. All you have to do
is make one ten minute call and they'll give you
a free mortgage review where they look at your current
loan terms, any high interest debt you might be contending with,
and they help you put your financial house in order.
Eight hundred seven seven seven eighty one oh nine. Super easy.
You can save a thousand dollars a month, you could
(14:29):
say a hundred thousand dollars or more over the life
of your loan, and all it takes is one ten
minute phone call. American Financing Column Today eight hundred seven
seven seven eighty one oh nine. That phone number one
more time eight hundred seven seven seven eighty one oh nine.

I have to take the but I don't think we're
society that is ruled by law. We're in a revolutionary
period right now, something like eighteenth century France or nineteen
twenties Russia, where the law is fluid and it's whatever
the power to be says it is. So just to
(15:15):
take some examples, if you're James o'keeee, or you're Peter Navarre,
or you're Roger Stone, you're gonna have an FBI come
down on you like you don't know why. But if
you we use a you know, a subpoena like Eric
Holder did, or if you lie to a federal investigator
like Andrew McCabe did, or you lie under at both
to the US Congress like both John Brennan, James Clapper,
(15:37):
there's no consequences. Welcome back to Clay and Buck. That
was the very excellent Victor Davis Hansen there really reiterating
a point we're just talking about a few minutes ago
on how the political application of the law is so
toxic to a free society. And you have to ask
the question, are we ruled by the law these days
(16:00):
or are we ruled by men who have and women
who have political access to grind and power to achieve.
Because Clay the border, there's the primary motivation for Democrats
is not rule of law in major cities really all
across the country now criminal justice, it's not the equal
(16:21):
application of the law what we saw in January six
and the treatment of those defendants not the equal application
of the law. We're heading into some stormy waters with this,
There's no doubt. And we talked earlier about Andrew Gillham
getting charged with twenty one felony counts. There are oftentimes
(16:43):
politicians that are not very powerful who get felony counts
brought against them or their family. One of the big
lessons of January sixth is there is a clear attempt
on behalf of Democrats to get Donald Trump charged with
felonies relating to January sixth. Simultaneously, you and I have
(17:07):
a bet about Hunter Biden and all of the complicity.
There is evidence on his laptop of what he has
been involved in in terms of selling access to the
Biden family. Will anything happen there? We already know that
Hillary Clinton's campaign, to a large extent, based on the
forum in which they were having the Subsman trial, was
(17:30):
able to avoid criminal allegations being proven, despite the fact
that there were a lot of details given about all
of her complicity in the Great Russia Collusion hoax. There's
all these dueling interpretations of what the law is involving
powerful people, how is the law going to be applied?
(17:53):
And most importantly, does the American public out there have
confidence that if you're in a position of power, wall
will be applied barely against you. It's one of the
biggest questions of our time. I think it's fair to
say there are a lot of worthy nonprofits out there
doing really good work, but one of our absolute favorites
is the Tunnel of the Towers Foundation. They're amazing. They've
(18:14):
been supporting America's heroes and their families ever since nine
to eleven. When a first responder or a military service
member doesn't come home and young children are left behind,
Tunnel the Towers pays off their mortgage to lift the
financial burden and bring their family stability or horribly injured
veterans and first responders. Tunneath the Towers builds mortgage free
smart homes, enabling our most severely injured heroes to live
(18:35):
more independent lies. If you've ever seen one of these homes,
they're remarkable. Now, through Operation Home Base, Tunata Towers is
gifting tiny homes to homeless veterans. Help these heroes and
their families. Join Tunatha Towers on its mission to do
good in their honor. Donate eleven dollars a month. Clay
and I are donors every month. Join us eleven dollars
a month. That T two T dot org. That's t
(18:57):
the number two T dot org. Welcome back in Clay,
Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out
with us. And we've obviously been talking a lot on
the program about the need and necessity for a red
wave to exist in November a little bit over what
(19:18):
four months from now, basically as we get ready to
roll into July and a lot of people are going
to be paused with the July fourth holiday. We hope
all of you have fantastic July fourth holiday plans. I
was reading a good piece in the National Journal talking
about how big of a wave could Republicans legitimately have
(19:40):
in terms of how many seats could be added in
the House. And look, in twenty ten, the party gained
sixty three seats. Right now, things are better set up
for a red wave in twenty twenty two, But the
number of seats that potentially could be available are smaller
because not a lot of people are discussing. In twenty twenty,
(20:02):
Republicans picked up twelve seats. So Buck, you and I
have been discussing what exactly a historic wave would represent,
and the raw numbers may not be there just because
there are fewer and fewer seats that are theoretically in
play now. Earlier in the show, you pointed out, Buck
that you talked to your buddy ned Ryan, and he said, hey,
(20:25):
there are some seats out there, ten or fifteen point
Democrat favored seats, maybe even some twenty point seats that
twenty right, Yeah, for four months from now. But historically,
this National Journal piece raises an interesting analysis. If there
were thirty five seats picked up by House Republicans, that
(20:50):
would give the Republican Party its highest number of seats
two hundred and forty eight seats. Under the auspices of
this hypothetical, that would be the most seats that Republicans
have had in the House since nineteen twenty eight, since
(21:12):
before we saw Franklin Roosevelt come into office. So this
kind of historically, and you and I are both history buffs.
I was reading this and that was a wow moment
to me. Almost a hundred year high for Republican support
in the House is legitimately a realistic expectation. In this
(21:32):
mid terment about four months, I think that we can
start to separate out the transactional voter from the ideological
voter in terms of who is gettable or persuadable here, right, Meaning,
let's start with the ideological voters. That would be people
for whom the prospect of voting Republican emotionally upsets them,
(21:56):
makes them feel bad about themselves. They watch MSNBC and
they drink those soy lattes, and they cry at night
about the threat of climate change and don't think they
should have children because of the carbon footprint, etc. Etc.
We're not we know it, like we're not. So that's
why there are limitations. Right, So they're the ideological leftist,
(22:18):
the ideological democrat voter, because I think now, because the
trump Um memory for them is still and of course
the media is pushing it all the time. With January six,
they're out of the game. Okay, But now we look
at the transactional voter, people for whom and this this
takes in a lot of independence, but also how motivated.
(22:39):
Are some Democrats. You get some of the rust belt Democrats,
more union focused Democrats, and for them the vote is
a referend This midterm becomes a referendum on what have
we gotten? What has this done? You know, the what
have you done for me lately? Question? What has the
Biden regime done for people? And I think what we're
(23:01):
seeing is a transactional voter avalanche toward the right because
of two things. One the failure based on what the
Biden promises may be. But also so there's what Biden
promised and didn't come through with. But then there's also
the results that we're seeing from different Democrat policies at
(23:23):
the border on crime, obviously with inflation. So there's the
unmet expectations component, and there's the oh my gosh, we
you know, you guys said do X and why will happen?
And Z happen? And it's not good. It means I
have less money, it means I'm less safe, it means
I have less freedom. So I think that we're seeing
(23:45):
about as much of a shift as you could realistically
see of the transactional vote, the persuadable voter, or however
you want to put it because what else is there
right now? I mean, what else can you point to?
You know, the gas tax holiday gimmick we talked about
the top of the show, Biden team is they're they're out,
They're out of They're out of magic tricks, folks, there's
(24:05):
nothing left for them. Here's the way I'd think about it.
And I'm in Atlanta right now, and I can look
out my studio and I can see the Atlanta Braves
baseball stadium. And let me give you a sports analogy.
Buck they say in baseball, you play one hundred and
sixty two games. That is an unbelievable amount of games
to play. And the old canard in baseball is pretty
(24:29):
much every team's gonna win sixty. Pretty much every team's
gonna lose sixty. It's what you do with the other
forty two that matter. And so it's hard to lose.
It's sixty sixty, what do you do with the other
forty two? I would say a landslide election is approaching
(24:50):
sixty percent of voters because to your point, forty percent
of people are voting Republican. They are allied, it is
their brand. Forty percent of people are voting Democrat is
their brand. They are allied. It's the other twenty percent
that decide everything. And I believe almost all of that
twenty percent the persuadable middle. Now, a lot of whom
(25:12):
are listening to us right now because they're so desperate
for sanity. We have attracted the persuadable middle, the reason
why we're number one in all those markets. Yes, Rush
did a phenomenal job, but things have gotten way crazier
since Russia left us. And I think a lot of
people out there every single day look around and don't
(25:34):
recognize the America that they live in, and they aren't
particularly affiliated with one party or the other. They just
think in terms of sane and insane. They're overwhelmingly breaking
for Republicans because right now the Republican Party is the
same party, despite what they want to tell you out
there in the larger media ecosystem. There are a lot
(25:55):
of things that Democrats believe, such as, hey, when a
baby's sometimes a doctor gets it wrong when he says
it's a boy, it's a girl. No he doesn't, all right,
No she doesn't. When Megan Rapino is saying, hey, if
you want your girls are playing high school sports, It
(26:17):
doesn't really matter what happens in those sports. If a
boy wants to play and he identifies as a girl,
you should basically just suck it up and deal with it.
These are things that people look at and say, this
is crazy. Eight point six percent inflation, five dollar gas.
The Democrats are the party of insanity. What they are
arguing for does not make sense to common people out there,
(26:39):
and that is why we're gonna get a landslide election
in twenty two and I hope it extends to twenty four.
This is also what we're seeing in the data already,
the polling data and all the anecdotal data, as well
as Texas thirty four or that district that just went
for a Republican Mira Flores. A lot of Hispanics, and
I don't transactional, or I don't mean that as any
(27:01):
kind of a criticism, but they've you know, I vote
for this person because I mean, everybody at some levels transactional.
But it's just a question of how ideologically attached to
a certain platform or certain individual you may feel. And
I think a lot of Hispanic voters are trending for
the GOP because they're saying, we vote for people, not
because as much of the identification with the Democrat Party
(27:25):
that we feel, you know, innately, intrinsically, you know, in
the depth of our soul. Right again, going to the
more coastal, elite, deep blue Democrat mentality, they vote basically
they want, you know, good schools. They want normalcy in
the schools in terms of what's being taught. They want
safe streets, they want economic opportunity, they want to be
able to build businesses, they want to be able to
(27:46):
pay reasonable taxes, and they want a reasonable and reasonably
effective government. Now maybe they want a government that's more
active sometimes and more helpful of than what you would
see on the right. But if that is your approach,
if you want safe schools, reasonable economics, safe streets, you
have to vote Republican. Now. You have to if nothing else,
(28:07):
to repudiate the Democrat failures that we're seeing, which is
why now, what was the most recent fifty five percent
of Hispanics nationally are leaning for a Republican candidate. Sounds
good to me. I'm hoping we get up to sixty
sixty five. Yeah, no doubt. And I just wanted to
contextualize that thirty five seat because a lot of people
have in their minds. Oh, in twenty ten, it was
(28:29):
a sixty seat swing, but that's a function of what's
available and what's not available. Thirty five, Just put thirty
five in your minds out there would lead to the
largest Republican majority in the House in nearly a hundred years.
That's how much of a landslide it would have occurred
(28:49):
in the House of Representatives. And I think that's worth
keeping in your mind as we move towards the midterms
as a number that would be good to hit our friends.
We are traveling and we are away from home right now.
Buck us down in Key West. I am in Atlanta.
One of the things that stinks about traveling you're not
in your same bed, and you also don't have the
same pillows, you don't have the same sheets, you don't
(29:10):
have the same setup that you've gotten used to in
your home. That's why Mike Lindell is a big part
of Buck and Mine's home environment. That's why I'm encouraging
you to take advantage of a flash sale going on
right now on all my pillow products. Walmart is deciding
they are going to cancel my pillow now is the
(29:31):
time to take advantage of my pillows show your support
for someone who should not be cancelable. You can use
the promo code Clay and Buck. All my pillows on

two thirty two sixty nine is the number one more
time my pillow dot com. Use that code Clay and Buck.
You know team I happen to be down in Florida,
and who do I stumble upon but former President Trump himself,
(30:32):
and he has a lot of thoughts for us, including
on our one year anniversary. On current occupant of the
White House, Joe Biden, much more, mister President, good to
have you with us. Well, I want to say congratulations
to you Buck and also to Clay on your one
year anniversary of Fantastic Radio. You know, you're really doing
a good, tremendous job. And we're down here at a
(30:55):
beautiful convention and on Key Largo. You know they call
it Key Largo. It's quite frankly the largest key and
the greatest key in the history of the Florida Keys.
When you look at it, everyone's driving golf carts around that.
You know how much I love to golf. And one
thing you don't see, You know, you don't see a
lot of people on bikes out here. Maybe that's because
Sleepy Judges fell. But I can tell you this, I
(31:17):
will never ride a bicycle. I've been saying that I'm
not going to ride a bicycle because I don't want
something like that to happen. But I could probably ride
it better than Lance Armstrong when you think about it.
But I love golf carts. I love golf, and this
is a beautiful place, and you are doing a fantastic job,
you and your partner, Clay. You're doing a fantastic job
standing up for everything, including what Clay likes to say,
(31:39):
the First Amendment at other things. You know, when you
look at it, he said it on fake newscy in it.
But you're doing a wonderful job with your program, and
congratulations on one year, you know, one big beautiful year.
So the price of gas, as you know, mister president,
it's really high right now. And a lot of people
are playing a clip from a couple of years ago
where you say, if Joe Biden becomes president, gas will
(32:02):
be six, seven, eight dollars a gallon. It's already hit
seven dollars a gallon in some parts of California and
some of the higher gas price states. So how did
you see this coming? And how do we get out
of this mess? Well, the fake news is going to
say I was lying because gas is going to go
to ten dollars a gallon, and they're going to say,
you know, look at that. He played it off like
it was nothing. They said only five dollars. I said
(32:25):
five to six, maybe seven dollars a gallon. It's going
up higher than Hunter Biden on a Saturday night. When
you look at it, it's a horrible thing like Elon
Musk rocket ship. It's going to the moon, but you
know they're blaming it on Vladimir Putin. We need to
be energy independent again, and quite frankly, I think it
could happen, and it will happen. Just give it a
(32:46):
few years and we're going to take it all back
and we're going to make America great again. But we
could fix it, and they refuse to fix it. You know. Now,
Sleepy Joe wants to talk about federal gas tax. How
about we look at producing our own energy and stop
relying on Russia, Russia, Russia from energy and oil, and
maybe we could get better gas prices because it's killing people.
(33:06):
Quite frankly, it's killing people, believe me, you know, mister president,
CNN just last week posted its worst week of ratings
in over twenty years, which a lot of people are
saying shows just how broken that network is after your presidency.
So if Jim Acosta is going to bed with tears
(33:28):
at night, knowing that CNN has been beaten up so
badly by Trump, what do you want to say? How
would you encourage CNN to come out of their fake
news slumber? Well, I would say you have to tread
water for two more years that I'll be back, and
then you'll finally have something to talk about because there's
nothing to talk about on the fake news. They don't
talk about anything. They used to talk about Trump, Trump, Trump.
(33:50):
You know, That's why I said the failing New York
Times was probably going to endorse me because I'm the
only thing keeping them afloat, and now they have nothing
to talk about. The ratings are going down, you know,
harder and faster than quite frankly, when Rosie o'donald falls
out of bed. It's a horrible thing that's happening. But
you're seeing the rise of new and better news, and
(34:12):
CNN is going by the wayside unless they shape up,
and they're not going to do that, because you don't.
Quite frankly, they're going to lose even more ratings if
they do that. So I would say, tread water and
wait for me to come back, and then maybe you'll
have something to talk about. And if you're going to
tell folks to follow more of your work, and I
know you're you're very close with a Captain deplorable, where
(34:33):
should everybody go to see what Captain deplorable? You're good
buddies up to Captain deplorable? Forty five dot com. He'll
live you a big, beautiful birthday message and he'll troll
your liberal sister in law if you have one. And
it's a great place to go. So check it out
Captain deplorable forty five dot com and check out the podcast.
It's really incredible, believe me. I mean Clay Clay, that
(34:55):
was our friend, Captain deplorable obviously, who I just I
bumped into in person down here in Florida. He had
been on the show before. Does the best Trump voice
I've ever heard. I mean, I don't I don't think
anybody is quite as good. And he's he's phenomenal. He's
just phenomenal. He is so good. We had him on
Live what maybe two or three months ago, and he
(35:18):
killed it. It It was hard for us to keep a
straight face. And even they are listening to him, it's
so perfectly crafted. He sounds just like Trump. I mean,
he's the best impersonator I've ever heard. I feel like
if he called a lot of people that I know
who do get calls from Trump, he could probably for
a minute or two that he'd probably get away with it.
You know, they'd probably be like, oh, mister President. I
(35:39):
mean he's that good. I mean I think if I
didn't know he was calling, I might be like, uh,
hello again, mister President. Trump comes on the show enough
that if he just had people get in their car.
I keep waiting, it's gonna be like War of the World.
Somebody's gonna report that Trump actually said what Captain Deplorable
playing Trump said, and they could even clip it and argue, you, hey,
(36:00):
this is him, because I think Trump would listen to it.
And I'd like to hear him and Trump going back
and forth talking with each other, because that would be
well almost in one of them. Remember that moment when
Trump let Jimmy fallon you know, kind of rub his hastle,
up his hair whatever. When Trump has he shown sense
of humor about himself, I mean, that is yet another
(36:22):
secret weapon, and people really appreciate that. Never, no matter
who you are, you can never take yourself too seriously. Well,
Trump was great. I mean the bicycle line that we
played yesterday talking about how he'll never ride a bicycle,
and that is what so many of the far left
wing that hated Trump never really got. He had a
decent sense of humor because he has an intuitive sense,
(36:42):
almost like a comedian, How to work a room and
how to work an audience. Why it was so good.
