Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travison Buck
Sexton Show. I am back to one hundred percent having
vanquished Omicron. I am ready to fire away in support
of truth and justice, and i oh buck Sexton is
(00:22):
as well. This is the worst week I believe that
we have maybe seen from a president in most of
our lifetimes. Think about how bad this week has been
for Joe Biden and as a result, also why he
(00:43):
is in such incredibly awful position. It's early in Friday,
so there may be something else awful that can happen
to Joe Biden before the week is out. But just
think about what we have seen so far as the
weeks played out, and by the way, before we get
going into the analyzing this Afghanistan, I agree was an
(01:05):
awful week for Joe Biden, but it was primarily a
failure in one specific area. It wasn't everything he was
trying to do falling down on him in every defferent
direction simultaneously. It's no coincidence that Joe Biden's approval ratings
turned negative for the first time after Afghanistan and have
(01:28):
continued to go down since, but Afghanistan was one significant failure.
We've got multiple different levels of failure going on here
this week. First of all, inflation hit a thirty nine
year high at seven percent. COVID hospitalizations and cases hit
an all time high this week. Every single day, they've
(01:51):
continued to build his own party, rejected his demands to
pass a voting bill and to change a filibuster, and
the Supreme Court struck down his vaccine mandate by a
six to three vote, while we also got his lowest
(02:11):
ever approval rating at thirty three percent. Buck, the question
that I think should be being asked at this point,
that's the worst week that I can remember any president
having on that many different fronts simultaneously. And again, we're
not even continuing considering the continued disaster of schools not
(02:32):
letting kids come to class. We're not talking about the
border being ms. There are lots about the supply chain issues,
bare shelves, Biden, all those things. Buck, I think you
have to start to ask legitimate questions. We know that
Biden's mental faculties are not strong, but are the people
who are advising Joe Biden actually doing an even more
(02:56):
awful job than he is. And by the way, I
didn't even mention how bad Kamala Harris was, and yet
another interview that she tried to do. But Buck, what
are they thinking? On Tuesday they went down to Atlanta.
He called everyone who didn't support his voting rights bill,
Jefferson Davis and George Wallace and then his own party
(03:17):
Kirsten Cinema of Arizona and Joe Mansion of West Virginia.
Two Democrats said no, thank you to changing the filibuster.
They knew this was going to happen. How have they
managed to create such a cluster with Joe Biden this week?
I think you're seeing the collision of two major components
(03:39):
of the Biden regime right now, or you're seeing two
areas of systemic failure. For what this regime with the
apparatus of Joe Biden, has been built on. One of
them is the collapse of the promise. And by that
I mean we've talked about this many times, Clay. Joe
Biden managed to be elected in the historical fluke once
(04:03):
in a century pandemic year, with all of the media
creating as much fear, panic and blame for Trump as
possible with BLM rampaging through cities across America, corporate America terrified,
bending the knee everywhere, all those things that were happening.
Joe Biden was the guy who shows up and says, hey,
I'll bring back unity and normalcy. Right, And they had
(04:25):
to hide him in the basement for that case to
be made, as we know, but that was what the
apparatus was able to do. We have seen through every
major action he's taken, but most notably this week in
that speech in Georgia, that that's just a lie that
he has no interest in uniting that In fact, he
uses terms like the pandemic of the unvaccinated as a
pejorative I mean specifically to other rise what he uses
(04:48):
his political opponents. Somehow, the unvaccinated it always in the
minds of the left, Clay is white Trump voters. It's
not still the considerable number of minorities in ear been
areas of the country who have chosen not to get it.
They're not part of the disparaging the unvaccinated, right, They're
not part of that terminology. When Biden says it's a
(05:09):
pandemic of the unvaccinated and the unvaccinated. Being on patriotic
he means Trump voters that it's become a proxy for that.
The other level where you see collapse is the results, right,
look at the decisions that have been made. The decision
to spend the one point nine trillion earlier this year,
the decision to make an enormous multi trillion dollar one
is a five six trillion depending on however it's assessed
(05:32):
a transformational spending package. When you're at a fifty fifty
Senate and a handful of seat advantage in the House
of Representatives, in what universe is Joe Biden is supposed
to be transformed? If that's one part of it, and
the other part of it is everything I mean, I
think you've mentioned the reverse Midas touch, right, Joe Biden
has the reverse mindas touch, and we're seeing everything turned
(05:53):
to lead. If it wasn't gold before, it's gotten worse
the Bidas touch. Everything that Joe bidens turns to crap.
I mean, and we've kind of I try to think
all the time in terms of because there's maybe the
lawyer in me, Buck, you have to think as if
sometimes you have the losing hand. Every lawyer out there
who's listening to us right now. Everybody who's been involved
(06:15):
in court cases. You're supposed to defend to the best
ability that you can to advocate for your client. And
sometimes your client doesn't have very good arguments, but you
still have an obligation to do them to the best
of your ability. If I sit back right now and
I try to make an argument for what Joe Biden
in his first year has done well as an advocate,
(06:38):
right you come to me and you say, Clay, I'll
pay you a thousand dollars an hour. You're an attorney,
make the case for Joe Biden in a court of
law right now, that he's done a great job in
the first year. It's almost impossible for me even to
come up with an argument. Buck, you can maybe argue
that infrastructure got passed, although I don't know what the
significance of the infrastructure bill was. In general, you can't
(07:01):
argue anything positive about COVID right now because cases at
all time high. I guess you can argue but for
the amazing ability of the Biden administration to get the
vaccines out, millions of more people would be dead. But
I don't think most people buy that, right that's not
an argument that has a sound logical scientific basis. Maybe
you can argue that China hasn't invaded Taiwan and that
(07:23):
so far Russia hasn't invaded Ukraine, but it's almost impossible,
I would add into that because of the approach of
the Biden apparatus and the way that they've allowed Fauci
to just go around haranguing everybody who doesn't agree. I
mean to essentially oppress everyone be wrong all the time,
and they and then say, you know, shut up, peasants,
I'm Lord Fauci. The issue has not been access to vaccines.
(07:47):
I mean, vaccines are anyone who wants to get a
vaccine at this point, if they know how to go
to the grocery store and get food for themselves, they
can get a vaccine. Okay, no one really thinks that
vaccine lack of access is what is driving or what
is it's people who either have made the affirmative decision
from early on they don't want to take it, which
is a position that I understand why they make that
(08:08):
case or how they make that case. But beyond that,
the Biden Biden presidency has destroyed trust for a lot
of people. At all this. So while they can say, oh,
we have all these shots everywhere for everybody, that's not
really The problem isn't that they don't have enough shots.
The problem is people don't trust Joe Biden, and they
don't trust what's been done in the name of the
regime by the CDC and the rest of them. And
(08:31):
when we see what's going on right now with their
refusal to just speak openly about the fact that stopping
the spread was a massive failure, of course people are
going to have questions about their right to have questions
about how much they can trust people like Fauci because
they keep lying to them. Yeah, and also there's lots
of people out there who could be like me, I'm
not getting the vaccine, but I was open to getting
(08:53):
the vaccine back in March and April. Remember I've told
this story. I was scheduled, my wife had scheduled me
to go get your Johnson and Johnson one shot Buck.
I was gonna because I said, I'm not gonna wait
a mind. That's the real quality right here, everybuddy. Yeah,
the Spirit Airline is the one that basically they've said, hey,
there's no point in even getting this shot. Anymore. But
I didn't want to get two shots. I was going
(09:13):
to go get the one shot. On the day that
I was scheduled to go to my local Publics or Kroger,
whatever it was to get my shot. They pulled it
from the market, and I was like, oh, well, this
is this is interesting, this is whatever. It's March or April.
You remember when they pulled it back because they had
questions about whether it was safe or not. And then
they brought it back. But by that point I was
looking around at the data and I was saying, Yeah,
(09:34):
this doesn't look like it's going to be that successful
in terms of making me any safer at all. So
I was open to the idea of getting the vaccine.
I think there are people out there like me, lots.
There are some people, like you said, who were one
hundred percent I'm never getting the vaccine. There are other
people who are like, hey, I'll wait and see how
this goes. I don't feel like I'm any kind of
significant threat from COVID. I'm certainly not. Now I can
(09:55):
speak for it directly. I've had COVID twice. I had
the alpha version and now I've had the omicron version
and neither one of them really were anything other than
a slight cold for me, and I'm through both of
them now, So like, why in the world at this
point would I ever go get vaccinated for anything when
I've now got double immunity in theory against both versions.
And this also raises what we've been discussing for many
(10:18):
months around natural immunity, which the Fauciite religion, because I
really do think this is turned into a religious faith
for a lot of people just ignores because it's inconvenient,
because well, what would that mean then? And by the way,
if you had better if you had more of a
focus on natural immunity, you would probably also have better
data because people would go out, they get tested for antibodies,
(10:40):
you'd know, and then you'd have a better sample set
to look at and see. Because still people will say
the vaccinated immunity, you know, the mouthpieces for the Biden
regime will say vaccinated immunity is better than natural immunity.
That there's most of the major studies have proven that
to be absolutely untrue, but they still get away with
it at some level because they've just ignored it. So
(11:01):
we don't have good data on it. Here we have
to look at data in Israel or data in the UK,
look at data that comes out of other countries. When
the reality is Nature's vaccine, which you just got there,
mister romcron Warrior. Nature's vaccine has been more durable and
more lasting than what we've seen from people that have
gotten the initial shots. And you know what, I could say, Buck,
(11:22):
because everybody who gets a breakthrough case then, as you
pointed out, we don't even use the phrase breakthrough case anymore.
But everybody who gets omicron after being double vaxed and
getting their booster says, oh, I got omicron, but it
would have been so much worse. Maybe I could say, Hey,
I got omicron, but because I already had COVID before,
it wasn't very bad for me. I don't know. Maybe
(11:42):
Omicron wouldn't have been bad for me if I'd never
had Alpha two. Maybe it wouldn't have been bad for
you if you hadn't gotten double vaxed and boosters. There's
been this whole trend online. Clay and I kind of
live in this matrix of Twitter and social media platforms.
A lot of you have you know, lives, so you
don't you don't see as much of this stuff. But
there's a trend of the most neurotic commies. They love
(12:03):
to do this thing where they say, I got four
shots and I double mask, and I never go outside,
and I wrapped my kids in saran wrap, and I
lice all my groceries and I still got a macron
and I'm super sick and I'm thirty years old. But
it would have been so much worse for that vaccine.
That's right, every single one of them. How do we
(12:23):
know that it would have been so much worse? How
do you like? Where do they come up with this stuff?
It's just it's like sad and hilarious at the same time.
I don't know what it's gonna take. This is why
all these people say, oh, I did everything right. It's
a virus. The one time when your mask is down
and you're in a crowded place, when it doesn't matter.
If you know, the three months before you were a
(12:44):
hypochondriac freak who wouldn't go anywhere. The one time you're
exposed you can get it, and then you got it
and then you're done. That's true, and nothing else matters,
by the way, But I do love it. Maybe I
need to start saying that I would have been so
much worse if I hadn't add natural immunity. We don't know,
I don't know. It might not have been any different
at all, Ahmacrod doesn't seem to be that big of
an issue for most people. Maybe my natural immunity didn't matter,
(13:07):
and maybe your vaccine didn't have any impact on how
you handled all of the all of the fauci i'd
argument At this point, Clay relies on that which can
be asserted and never disproven. It would have been worse
more cases more you know more this more that's true?
You never Yeah, how do you even? How do you
prove it? How do you disprove it? With each mortgage
free home the tunnel, the Towers Foundation delivers on its
(13:28):
promise to do good, never forget the sacrifices America's greatest
heroes have made for us. We witness them achieving on
both of those promises this past twelve months, in particular
because they have given gold Star families and families of
fallen first responders so much attention. Those families often include
young children and need the support and assistance of you
(13:48):
and me. This foundation leads the way with that kind
of care and attention. For some families, the Foundation brings
the comfort of knowing they can stay in the home
where they made memories with their fallen loved one. For
other emiliast, the Foundation enables new memories to be cherished forever.
All of this possible because of your generosity and support.
Help our nation's greatest heroes and their families. Donate eleven

We are malaising through another hour of the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for being here with us,
and if you want to call in eight one hundred
two two two eight two back of this hour, take
(14:30):
some more your calls want to hear from all of
you across this great country of ours. A lot of
talk this week about elections, about voter protections, voter ID
and of course some crazy stuff said by Joe Biden
that speech. If you aren't in favor of their voting rights,
that's the generic term that they use for the federal
(14:52):
government gets to be in charge of all elections in
all states and destroy federalism the process. If you're not
in favor of it. You're on the side of the
president the Confederacy for an example, I mean really ugly
stuff from Joe Biden's side. Not surprising. We've got someone
with US now who has looked very closely at the
realities of election integrity, both in the twenty twenty context
(15:13):
and going forward. Molly Hemingway, senior editor at the Federalists,
with us NOW also Fox News contributor. Her book is
Rigged How the media, Big Tech, and the Democrats seized
our elections. Molly, great to have you. It's great to
be here with you. So let's start with this one.
When you're seeing the Democrats get this whole mobilization going
(15:34):
on voting rights, acting like there's one never fraud and
two endless numbers of people who are somehow being prevented
from voting, but we never actually meet any of them.
What do you want people to know? What's the truth
of the election fight these days? Well, I think, first off,
it shouldn't be termed. It shouldn't be said in terms
of voting rights. Nobody credible thinks that there's a problem
(15:58):
with voting rights in a country where more people voted
in the last election than any in history by a
significant margin. The question is really about who controls elections
and how secure those elections are. Democrats have spent decades
really smartly strategizing about how to loosen security of elections
and open up opportunities for Shenanigans, shall we say, And
(16:23):
they have put a lot of money and effort into that,
and now they want to federalize that. They think that
what they did in twenty twenty to destabilize the elections
worked out well for them, and they'd like to nationalize
that and make Nancy Pelosi. The elections are of the
entire country. So it's really important in this country that
both winners and losers, and of course that changes over
(16:44):
time who those people are, that they both can trust elections.
It's actually the entire republic rests on that. So we
need to always make sure that our elections are secure
and that people can trust them. Molly, The whole story
here is a mass speak. It feels like Biden somehow
thought his Tuesday speech was going to change the overall
(17:06):
calculus associated with voting rights. Instead, he gets kneecapped by
his own senator's cinema and mansion saying hey, yeah, we're
not going to change things associated with the filibuster. But
in a larger context, this whole story seems very strategically
failed to me by the Democrats, because if you look
at recent Supreme Court jurisprudence as it pertains to states
(17:29):
having the right to set laws as it pertains to
their elections, there's no way, in my opinion that these
Democrat bills would be constitutional in any way at all either.
So this has always felt to me like somebody sort
of biking full speed into a brick wall and pretending
the brick wall isn't there. What am I missing about this? Yeah?
(17:51):
I think what you're missing is that the whole idea
is a long con, a long game. They might not
succeed right now, but what they're trying to do is
move the window to get people to think differently about
election security and to make this a winning issue in
the next several years. And there is another thing I
think Democrats are pretty good at. They say something that's
(18:13):
very extreme that has no chance of winning and might
even cause them electoral problems in the short run, say
limitations on gun rights, but they get over time more
and more people adopting their perspective, and that gives them
the weight they need to push to push for what
they really want. I mean, everything they did in twenty
twenty they claimed was for COVID relief, it actually have
(18:33):
been stuff they've been working on four decades. Decreasing the
ability to determine whether a ballot actually comes from someone
it claims to come from was something they've been working
on for a long time. It wasn't just something they
came up with during COVID. Expanding voting day into voting season,
which incidentally is something the country used to have and
moved away from precisely because we did see too much
(18:54):
fraud when you expanded voting day beyond a single day
into you know, you have different states voting on different
days for presidential elections, and it did increase the chance
of fraud. And so these things, these things have been
flow But the Democrats are very good, I think about
thinking long term and not just about the win that
they can get right now, because I don't think they're
going to get it right now, but they're thinking next
(19:16):
year and beyond it. We're speaking of Molly Hemingway, author
of Rigged, How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats
seized our elections, and to that end, Molly talk to
us about the role, because you know, big tech. We're
often having these discussions about one the way that the
censorship and the essentially the collusion with not just the
Democrat Party generally, but with the White House specifically to
(19:38):
suppress conservative and just alternative points of view is out
in the open. They're demanding more of it. They're not
pretending not to do it, which was the case even
let's say five or six years ago. How did big
tech change in your mind the course of the twenty
twenty election, and what can we do about it. It's
funny because we talk about election laws, which are very important,
(19:59):
and there were mad problems with it, but it pales
in comparison to how much big tech controlled the outcome
of the election. You might remember that when Democrats spent
four years claiming that the twenty sixteen election was stolen,
that they didn't really have a case, and like their
big case was that it was stolen because Russians had
bought a couple like one hundred thousand dollars in Facebook ads,
(20:22):
some of them for Hillary Clinton, some of them for
Donald Trump. That was enough to have the country be hysterical. Well,
compare that with what happened in twenty twenty. For four years,
I think big tech really worried that they had helped
Trump win by allowing him to go around the media
and speak directly to people. So they started changing algorithms.
They started the platforming the most effective conservative voices. They
(20:44):
increased the reach of leftist voices. They engaged in so
much election rigging it's unbelievable. I mean, just by way
of it's like to take one small example, when Donald
Trump would say that mail in ballots were susceptible to fraud,
something that everybody agreed with prior to twenty twenty, including
like the country of France, the Jimmy Carter election commissioned
(21:05):
the New York Times, Washington Post. He would be censored
for saying that. And when Joe Biden said that there
was like a conspiracy with the Post Office to control
the outcome of the election, none of those tweets were censored.
None of that rhetoric from anyone on the left was censored.
And it was a crazy conspiracy theory that affects elections,
and most dramatically, also, you think about how they conspired
(21:28):
with Democrats and other people in the media to suppress
the single most important story of the twenty twenty election,
which was information about the corruption of the Biden family business.
There is no question that American voters had a right
to know about the Biden family business, how it worked,
who all was involved in foreign entities and the big
(21:48):
tech companies. You brutally suppressed that story. And you know,
again go back to that Russia story. You know, one
hundred thousand dollars in Facebook ads is a sort of
horrible threat to democracy, but and you look at what
they did in twenty twenty and it's just so much
more massive. Molly, as you were about to come on,
and we appreciate you coming on. Right before the show started,
(22:11):
I was looking at my Twitter trending tab section and
I'm not sure if you had a chance to look
at this thread yet, but I shared a couple of
days ago, and we played on this show the Fisor
CEO saying the first couple of shots of his vaccine
had limited, if any protection against the new omicron variant
of COVID, And he said that in an interview It
(22:32):
was with Yahoo News. It was distributed. Twitter took it
down and said it was a copyright violation. I then
put it back up. Some other user had grabbed it.
They didn't take that down. But then they brought in
we're going to talk about this a little bit here
on the show. In a moment, they brought in a
fact checker, Reuters, and Reuters said that the Visor CEO
is be taken out of being taken out of context.
(22:54):
If you look at what they're doing right now, it
is an unbelievable height of disinformation. And Reuter's chairman, by
the way, sits on the board adviser. They are the
official fact checker for Twitter. This is effectively a paid
advertisement for Twitter masquerading as a factual fact check. This
kind of thing happens all the time. How do we
(23:16):
fix it. I'm not entirely sure how to fix it,
but it is a massive issue. It feels soviet what
they're doing. Yes, they are limiting what people can say
about things that we all see and that we all witness.
They're saying there's one approved interpretation of events. I mean,
it is true that people sometimes misinterpret things or take
(23:37):
things out of context. The cure for that is people
saying that you can say it in response, no, actually,
this is what they meant to say, or here's how
that should be read, and people debate, And that's what
happens in a free society. In an authoritarian regime like
the one we have now, with big tech colluding with
you at the request of Joe Biden. He just yesterday said, yes,
I ask you my allies in big tech, please suppress information.
(24:01):
If I say it's disinformation. I mean, that's not a
direct quote, but that's what he was saying. He decides
what disinformation and misinformation is then and then you get
suppressed based on what his views are. With everybody in
big tech being almost everybody in big tech being closely
aligned with the Democrat Party. This is a This is
an attack on some of our most foundational values as
a country, that we have the right to pursue truth
(24:24):
and that we can we can do that by obtaining
information and debating the meaning of that information. It is
so Unamerican, and there's so much money in this. As
you note, people are paying to do this suppression of information.
And it's not just American companies, it's China is heavily
involved in all of this. It works for them to
control the people and control the flow of information. But
(24:45):
it's sort of not working because the one thing you
know is that if something is fact checked, that's a
good chance that actually it's true. Molly's the author of Rigged,
How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized our Elections.
I'm actually about to buy my copy in real times.
I'm talking to you right now online, Molly before they
let you go. Though, When people, as I'm sure they
do all the time, come up to you and say
that there was fraud in the twenty twenty election, what
(25:08):
do you say to them? Well, I think that people
need to expand their understanding of what happened in twenty
twenty to be much much, much bigger than fraud. And
what I talk about in the book is how there
were changes to hundreds of election laws to make it
difficult to even detect fraud, to make it so that
you couldn't have confidence and the results that you wouldn't
(25:29):
know if a ballot was legit. That Mark Zuckerberg another
way that big tech medals spent four hundred and nineteen
million dollars to take over government election offices and flood
it with left wing activists so that they could run
the Democratic get out the vote operation in blue areas
of swing states. It was complicated. It was a conspiracy. Actually,
(25:50):
even Time magazine admits it was a conspiracy which they
described as a cabal of powerful people in all these
different establishment institutions to control the outcome of the election.
So I think, don't limit yourself to just fraud. It's
much bigger, much much more coordinated and widespread, and much
more effective in controlling the outcome of the election. Molly,
(26:12):
last question for you, were you surprised that Brett Kavanaugh.
You wrote a great book about Brett Kavanaugh that he
flipped his vote for to allow the healthcare mandate. And
that's kind of a two part question. Do you, based
on your connections to the Supreme Court, think that Stephen
Bryer is going to step down as Democrats are trying
to persuade him to do by the end of this term.
(26:35):
So there's a lot there, but yay, I would just
say it never works well to pressure people to pressure
these justices to resign. It usually means that that's how
they will stay there forever. I wrote in The Justice
on Trial with Carrie Saborino about how the Trump administration
was able to encourage Anthony Kennedy to feel comfortable stepping down,
which enabled them to denominate Brett Kavanaugh. And then we
(26:58):
also detail why he was chosen for that position, and
it really had a lot to do with how narrow
Republicans held the Senate and how they couldn't really put
someone much more strong than he was. And you know,
we tell that whole story. So I'm sadly not completely surprised,
but there were very particular circumstances for why he was chosen.
(27:21):
Molly having or everybody check out rigged her book. Look
at your copy now, Molly, come back and hang out
us again soon. Thanks so much. Take care. Finding your
way to a smart plan for your retirement takes time,
information and you know your own instigation. Projecting the value
your savings account has and how far it'll go when
you start to rely on it, that's your responsibility. Nobody's

final hour of the week. We appreciate all of you
hanging out with us Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. As
we roll into the weekend, we are joined now by
Glenn Beck, who a lot of you listen to before
this show begins all over many affiliate stations in this country.
(28:51):
Glenn's got a brand new book out, The Great Reset.
Appreciate him joining us and right off the top, Glenn,
how are you feeling. I got COVID here this week
as well. I understand that you did also. Yeah, I'm fine.
I mean it's a pain in the neck. But I
had it the first time before there was any vaccine
or anything, and that wiped me out for about three weeks.
(29:11):
You know, I've been broadcasting with it and everything. It's
in my lungs a bit for a cough, but it's
like it was for two days a bad cold, and
now it's just kind of lingers. I think this is
some of the best news that we've had. This looks
like it's now starting to repeat the pattern from the
(29:32):
nineteen eighteen in Fluenzo. The first year was bad, second
year was worse. By the third year it started just
to go from a pandemic to an endemic. And everybody
is getting it. I mean, this whole idea of passports
and now quarantining, now is the time everyone is going
(29:52):
to get it, no matter what you do. I mean,
the scientists at the base in Antarctica have it. How
did they get it? You know, this is the best
thing it can happen. The death rates down ninety one percent,
and it will will only get stronger from here. The
pandemic is just a few weeks away from being over.
Glennet's Buck always get to talk to you, sir. I
(30:15):
want to ask you if you could just put this
in a context for us. You've got this book out
this week, the Great Reset. I think people have heard
the term. It gets thrown around, But what is that?
As you write about it, but also as everybody listening
across the country needs to understand it, what does that mean?
I mean, it's a term that the other side has
actually used, but you mean something quite differently by it. No, actually,
(30:37):
I mean exactly what they mean. I'm sorry you put
into context what they're trying to accomplish with it. Pardon me,
go ahead. Yes, this is the this book, Buck, I
think is the most important book out there. And I
say that only because it's the only one of its kind.
If somebody else can write something better, I will happily
(30:58):
promote that. But it's the only one of its kind
in the West. And this isn't a direct assault on
the West. The Western way of life's Western values, our
capitalist system, the free market, freedom at every single level
is at stake. And when you understand what we've put
(31:20):
together in this book, We've taken it from their own words.
There's fifty pages of fine print footnotes. There's no speculation.
It is what they are doing and passing in laws
and everything else all over the world. It is the
Rosetta stone for the news when you're watching things like
(31:40):
the vaccine passports, when you're looking for why that they
are finding businesses. Why does home depot Why are they
allowed to be open but your local true hardware store can't.
Why can I go into a restaurant take off my
mask if I'm seated and eat without a mask, But
if I'm in an airplane, which has much better filtering system,
(32:03):
I'm sitting down and I'm eating and I have to
have the mask on in between bites. Everything is about
control and when you see the when you see what's
happening to us financially, this is the next big step.
COVID and global warming are there big pushes for this.
(32:24):
But the financial system is coming under attack and it
is very fragile. And the things that they're doing with
banking explains exactly why Nike would take half of their
audience and just throw it away, Why Coca Cola would
(32:44):
be saying we got to train people to be less white.
Why would these companies do that? It doesn't make any
sense unless you understand what's really happening with the Great Reset. Glenn,
we start off the show today and I bet you
did as well talking about what a disaster of a
week it has been for Joe Biden. Where do we go?
(33:06):
If you are And I even said, hey, if you
were paying me to try to defend the Joe Biden
administration right now, I can barely even think of an
argument to make. Where do we go now for the
Biden administration in twenty twenty two as we head towards
what I think most people would anticipate at this point
in time is going to be a red tide, overwhelming
(33:30):
wave that is going to sweep across the country come November.
What do they do to try to stop that? Can
they do anything? So a really good question, and this
again goes into the Great Reset. This is by government fiat.
This is not This is a run around all constitutional laws.
(33:53):
That's why you see what they're doing. You know, when
the Supreme Court said no, you can't have vaccine mandates,
what you do? He pressured the businesses to do it anyway?
When they when they say things online that he doesn't like.
This week, he came out and said, I urge these
the companies to stop these podcasts. This is a this
(34:17):
is an end run, and there's something really important that people. Really,
when you get this piece, you will understand that you
Washington is going to become very irrelevant soon. It's called ESG.
They're ESG scores. I don't know if you've heard of
them yet, but they are going to make every bit
(34:39):
of difference in your life in the next year. Um.
It's a Environmental, Social Justice and Governance score. Now, we
saw the beginnings of this with gun control. Remember they said,
you know what, we can't you might not be able
to get insurance and so you're gonna have to pay,
you know, extra for insurance. And these banks, I don't know,
(35:02):
we don't want to do business with companies that are
selling guns. That's just the beginning of it. This score
is an arbitrary score set by the banks and the
elites and people like Black Rock along with the government.
And it really is going to turn into pay for
play and it will be first on the scores like
(35:23):
Coca Cola. They're already doing this in Europe. Coca Cola
has to justify their business to the banking community and
to the other regulators that are really not part of
the government. It's just the financial community, and they have
to justify that they're being good stewards of the environment,
(35:44):
that they are promoting social justice, that they have enough women,
enough blacks, enough Hispanics on their board, and beyond this,
if you don't, for instance, because global warming is the
number one saying that the Great Reset is about, it'll
be the heaviest hammer. The Fed just announced this week
(36:07):
that they're going to start doing stress test climate stress
tests on all of the banks. What that means is,
are you as a bank loaning money to somebody who
does fracking, somebody who is in natural gas, somebody that
is drilling for oil or building a refinery. If you
do that, because of the Great Reset, they are phasing
(36:32):
out fossil fuels, and that will put an undue stress
on your bottom line. So if you continue to make
those loans, then the Federal Reserve says, this is a
sketchy bank. We don't know how solid it is. So
everybody is being forced to get out of whatever the
government says through their little cabal, not through Congress. Whatever
(36:57):
they decide they want to do extra constitutional, they just
do it. Now, when you're a big company, let's say
you don't do anything with oil or gas, but you
make a widget that the fracking people use, Well, now
you're gonna be get a lower ESG score as well,
(37:18):
and the bank may not give you a loan until
you stop selling those widgets to the oil company. So
this goes all the way down to the individual investor.
If you go to your Marril Lynch fund or Charles
Schwab fund, I can guarantee you you're going to find
ESG and they have already started putting those on your
(37:39):
personal portfolio. So whatever it is you buy in your
stock you're four oh one K, you know you're a
retirement fund, it now has an ESG score. If you
have a low ESG score, banks won't want to do
business with you because you're a risk. It's it's absolutely insidious,
(38:03):
and it is. It is the reason why businesses are
doing what they're doing. It goes all the way to
why they are targeting parents at schools, because that's part
of the agenda. This is an entire revamping of the
entire system. I mean nobody's talking about it. We're speaking
of glennback the book this week that's out, The Great Reset,
(38:25):
Joe Biden and the Rise of twenty first century Fascism. Glenn.
One more for you, UM. As people are hearing this,
that might be thinking, okay, well, how are we doing
in the counterattack if you will, and what can we do?
What can people do listening to this? So to push
back the big here's the biggest thing, um, and common
sense will tell you this. First of all, you have
(38:45):
to educate yourself. You can't defeat Nazis if you don't
know what Nazis are. You can't feat defeat Islamic extremism
if you don't know the difference between Islamicism and an Islamicist.
You have to know, um, And the curve has to
be almost straight up with America, we are way behind
the eight ball. And the other thing that is really
(39:08):
common sense after education, spreading it to others. But also
do not buy into the idea that this is too
big of a problem and you can't fix it. It
is going to be fixed by locals. It is by
doing supporting your local business. It is by supporting your
(39:28):
local school board, getting onto your Zoning Committee. You will
be amazed in small towns all across the country how
much is already zoned. And it's all part of this
global agenda. It is phenomenal when they talk about, and
it's in the book, owning all federal government owning thirty
(39:49):
percent of not only the land, but all water in
the United States by twenty thirty, by twenty fifty, owning
fifty percent. This is a massive plan that will dramatically
change human existence. This is the anti American revolution, and
(40:10):
it will take individuals to stop it. It will take
you working in your local community. One of the things
you can do, stop doing business with these big, huge
fed banks. Get your money into a local owned and
operated bank, one that's taking your loans and your deposits,
(40:31):
and they're using it in your own hometown. We have
to be locally focused everything in our society right now.
Everything they're trying to do is to make you feel alone,
make you feel small, make you feel like nobody can
speak out. They are terrified, terrified of the individual, and
we keep dismissing ourselves. Don't you have all the power
(40:55):
and are the only way it's going to stop. It's
not going to stop because of Washington. The book is
the great reset. The author Glenn Beck, Glenn our friend.
Thank you so much for being with us in your
work on this. We'll talk to you soon. I have
to tell you you have the you had the hardest
transition in radio. I've been in radio for forty five years.
I have never seen anyone that had a harder uphill
(41:18):
battle to do than to replace Rush Limbaugh. And I
am so proud of both of you. You're doing such
a great job. Congratulations, Thank you so much, so much.
It means a lot coming from you. Thanks. Guys. Think
of the number of times very nice to say. Think
of a number of times and the number of websites

you specifically in his or her sights. But when they
get ahold of your data, they're quick to tap into
your credit card account and make as many purchases or
(42:01):
open as many accounts as possible. You'll never know what happened. Eventually,
you find out when the bill shows up. But it's
important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting
your life. Good thing there's LifeLock. LifeLock helps detect a

(43:10):
buck Sexton show rolling through the final half hour of
the program. Appreciate all of you. Encourage you to go
download the podcast and search out my name play Travishing,
search out buck Sexton's name. You can also go give
us five stars. You can leave a funny podcast review
and if we see it, and by we I mean
our boy Dub who is actually reviewing all these, we'll
(43:30):
read some of them on the show, maybe as soon
as next week. So go get those podcast reviews in.
Appreciate all of you for doing so. We bring in
now the chair of the RNC Ron McDaniel, and she
is here as you guys have created. Thank you for
spending time with us. Year on Friday, a bit of
a tempest in the Washington, DC weather. I want to
(43:53):
play for you here what Jensaki said yesterday. I'm sure
you heard it, but if our audience didn't, about presidential
candidates not participating in debate sponsored by this group. The
president has participated in many debates over the course of
his career and believes they play a role in allowing
(44:15):
the American people to hear from candidates and where they stand.
So I think it's more imposed question best posts to
the R and C on what they're so afraid of.
So she asked the question, what are you guys afraid of?
Thanks for coming on with us. How would you respond
to Jensaki? Yeah, I think the question more should go
back to her, what are you afraid of? Because of
course you love presidential debate committee that picked a moderator
(44:37):
who worked for you, worked for Joe Biden. They started
debates after twenty six states and started absentee voting, and
they moved the second debate to virtual because you know,
Joe couldn't leave the basement. So of course they love
that commission. I would say to them, why are you
so afraid to negotiate with the networks directly? Why do
you need a middleman to do your dirty work for you?
(45:00):
And that's what the RNC is saying. We're sick of
working with a bias committee. The things that we've asked
them to guarantee that they wouldn't do for twenty twenty four,
like not picking a moderator that worked for the Democrat
starting debates before twenty six states had started voting, and
not having their committee members trash the Republican nominee. I
(45:20):
think our pretty common sense. They told us we're not
going to guarantee those things, and so now we're going
to look for a fair forum for debate for our kendidate,
Ronald's buck. And this is music to my years. And
I've got to tell you, I've watched the debates increasingly
in recent years with frustration. It's so obvious. I mean,
just off the top of one's head, you can think
about someone of the likes of John Harwood involved. It
(45:42):
was just a clear Democrat partisan in a presidential debate.
What happened with Candy Crowley at CNN when Mitt Romney
and Barack Obama were debating the issue of Benghazi. I mean,
there's so many key moments that even come up, never
mind the overall tilt toward the left and toward the
Democrats of this. So what can be done now? I mean,
(46:02):
assuming that you are running the RNC, so you're the
person we need to talk to you about this. There's
an understanding that these debates are biased and unfair in
favor of Democrats. Because they control ninety five percent of
the journalism and quote unquote journalism and media in the country.
What does a more fair forum look like. How can
we get to a place where we don't have a
(46:23):
Democrat hack taking cheap shots at the would be next
Republican president of the United States on a debate stage.
Totally back, and I think a big part of it
is getting rid of a commission that's bias. And part
of their plan is, oh, we negotiate with the nominee,
and we negotiate with the nominee. Well, the Republican nominee
won't be in place until July or August of twenty
(46:44):
twenty four. By then, they've contracted the venues. They picked them,
not moderators. It's too late for the RNC is interveeting
now before we pass our rules for twenty four and
we are putting them on notice, and we are saying
our candidates cannot seek our nomination unless they agree to
not work with the CPD, which is going to open
the door for less bias or non biased, neutral arbiters
(47:07):
to come forward, for us to negotiate directly with networks
or to find forums that will conduct a fair debate
for the American people conduct debates before twenty six states
start voting, agree to not pick moderators that worked for
either candidate. Really simple things that we're asking for. This
is a rule change we're going to propose at our
winter meeting and it will pass at a later meeting. Rona.
(47:30):
I know people are super excited about the midterms coming
up in November, but there are also a ton of
our listeners that are even more excited about the idea
of a twenty twenty four presidential campaign. When will the
first debates begin for the Republican presidential candidates? Because those
were wildly entertaining in the run up if you remember
(47:51):
certainly as you well do in sixteen with so many
different candidates on the stage. We'll see how that looks
in twenty four. And do you anticipate still Iowa as
the official launching point for the Republican race for whoever's
going to get the primary. Yeah, So all of this
is starting right now with the Republican Republican National Committee.
(48:12):
So we're going to have our winner meeting where the
Presidential Nominating Committee and the Debate Committee will put their
suggestions forward and then it'll be embedded in the rules.
I haven't seen a lot of movement from the members
saying they want to move away from the traditional IOWA
New Hampshire, so we'll see what they do. I don't
want to get ahead of their work, and on the debates,
(48:33):
I think they're going to have to start earlier. If
you're looking at the primaries and how that's stacking up
for twenty twenty four, they're going to be starting earlier
than ever. You could have some primaries back in December
of twenty three, so that means debates we'll have to
start earlier and earlier. So we'll be adjusting the calendar accordingly.
Is there anything that's going to just stop this from
(48:54):
halv I just want to know this all sounds great,
Rona and we're speaking Rona McDaniel ahead of the RNC.
Is this going to be implemented? I mean, I just
I don't want to get excited that we're not going
to go into Democrat ambushes in the presidential cycle and
then all of a sudden, you know, it's like a
Lada Lucy pull in the football at the last second.
So the only way this can happen really right now
(49:15):
is if the RNC takes an affirmative stance because the
CPD has had a monopoly, there's been no competition in
that space, and all their bias always just towards the Republicans.
So the Debate Committee for the RNC voted unanimously to
take this step, and now we're going to take it
to the full one sixty eight. I've got work to
do to make sure the members agree to this rule change,
(49:37):
but we've had overwhelming support from grassroots and people who
have understood this process for so long, who bang their
head and say, why do Republicans let their candidate deal
with this and get into these debates with these bias moderators.
And this is the first time the RNC has stepped
up and said enough is enough. We're going to fight
for our seventy four million voters, and we're going to
fight for our future nominee, and that start right now. Rona.
(50:02):
Thank you, fantastic stuff. We'll look forward to the fight,
and also we can't wait for that twenty twenty four
race to start. Thank you. Well, We're side were twenty
twenty two. Keep the mid terms first, everybody's side for
twenty twenty two. We're already looking ahead Clay and I
are mobilizing everybody. Thank you. Lots of conversation this week
about voting and voting access. I know you guys value
(50:23):
your own vote what it stands for. Now you also
vote every single month with the money you spend in
the companies you choose to spend it with. Consider your
cell phone provider and the bill you're paying each month.
You're likely to be surprised and disappointed to see how
much of your money supports the candidates and issues they
donate to leftist politicians pushing agendas that don't match up
(50:45):
with your own. Now there's a solution. It's Pure Talk.
Get your cell phone service from pure Talk. Instead, they
use the exact same towers accessing the exact same five
G network as one of those companies. And with pure
Talk you get peace of mind that you're supporting veteran
run business with employees all here in the US. Buck,
how do you get hooked up from your cell phone
(51:06):
right now? It's so easy. Dial pound two five zero,
that's pound two fifty and just say the words pure talk.
That's pure Talk. You'll save an additional fifty percent off
your first month. Again, dial pound two five zero from
your cell phone right now and say pure talk
Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travison Buck
Sexton Show. I am back to one hundred percent having
vanquished Omicron. I am ready to fire away in support
of truth and justice, and i oh buck Sexton is
(00:22):
as well. This is the worst week I believe that
we have maybe seen from a president in most of
our lifetimes. Think about how bad this week has been
for Joe Biden and as a result, also why he
(00:43):
is in such incredibly awful position. It's early in Friday,
so there may be something else awful that can happen
to Joe Biden before the week is out. But just
think about what we have seen so far as the
weeks played out, and by the way, before we get
going into the analyzing this Afghanistan, I agree was an
(01:05):
awful week for Joe Biden, but it was primarily a
failure in one specific area. It wasn't everything he was
trying to do falling down on him in every defferent
direction simultaneously. It's no coincidence that Joe Biden's approval ratings
turned negative for the first time after Afghanistan and have
(01:28):
continued to go down since, but Afghanistan was one significant failure.
We've got multiple different levels of failure going on here
this week. First of all, inflation hit a thirty nine
year high at seven percent. COVID hospitalizations and cases hit
an all time high this week. Every single day, they've
(01:51):
continued to build his own party, rejected his demands to
pass a voting bill and to change a filibuster, and
the Supreme Court struck down his vaccine mandate by a
six to three vote, while we also got his lowest
(02:11):
ever approval rating at thirty three percent. Buck, the question
that I think should be being asked at this point,
that's the worst week that I can remember any president
having on that many different fronts simultaneously. And again, we're
not even continuing considering the continued disaster of schools not
(02:32):
letting kids come to class. We're not talking about the
border being ms. There are lots about the supply chain issues,
bare shelves, Biden, all those things. Buck, I think you
have to start to ask legitimate questions. We know that
Biden's mental faculties are not strong, but are the people
who are advising Joe Biden actually doing an even more
(02:56):
awful job than he is. And by the way, I
didn't even mention how bad Kamala Harris was, and yet
another interview that she tried to do. But Buck, what
are they thinking? On Tuesday they went down to Atlanta.
He called everyone who didn't support his voting rights bill,
Jefferson Davis and George Wallace and then his own party
(03:17):
Kirsten Cinema of Arizona and Joe Mansion of West Virginia.
Two Democrats said no, thank you to changing the filibuster.
They knew this was going to happen. How have they
managed to create such a cluster with Joe Biden this week?
I think you're seeing the collision of two major components
(03:39):
of the Biden regime right now, or you're seeing two
areas of systemic failure. For what this regime with the
apparatus of Joe Biden, has been built on. One of
them is the collapse of the promise. And by that
I mean we've talked about this many times, Clay. Joe
Biden managed to be elected in the historical fluke once
(04:03):
in a century pandemic year, with all of the media
creating as much fear, panic and blame for Trump as
possible with BLM rampaging through cities across America, corporate America terrified,
bending the knee everywhere, all those things that were happening.
Joe Biden was the guy who shows up and says, hey,
I'll bring back unity and normalcy. Right, And they had
(04:25):
to hide him in the basement for that case to
be made, as we know, but that was what the
apparatus was able to do. We have seen through every
major action he's taken, but most notably this week in
that speech in Georgia, that that's just a lie that
he has no interest in uniting that In fact, he
uses terms like the pandemic of the unvaccinated as a
pejorative I mean specifically to other rise what he uses
(04:48):
his political opponents. Somehow, the unvaccinated it always in the
minds of the left, Clay is white Trump voters. It's
not still the considerable number of minorities in ear been
areas of the country who have chosen not to get it.
They're not part of the disparaging the unvaccinated, right, They're
not part of that terminology. When Biden says it's a
(05:09):
pandemic of the unvaccinated and the unvaccinated. Being on patriotic
he means Trump voters that it's become a proxy for that.
The other level where you see collapse is the results, right,
look at the decisions that have been made. The decision
to spend the one point nine trillion earlier this year,
the decision to make an enormous multi trillion dollar one
is a five six trillion depending on however it's assessed
(05:32):
a transformational spending package. When you're at a fifty fifty
Senate and a handful of seat advantage in the House
of Representatives, in what universe is Joe Biden is supposed
to be transformed? If that's one part of it, and
the other part of it is everything I mean, I
think you've mentioned the reverse Midas touch, right, Joe Biden
has the reverse mindas touch, and we're seeing everything turned
(05:53):
to lead. If it wasn't gold before, it's gotten worse
the Bidas touch. Everything that Joe bidens turns to crap.
I mean, and we've kind of I try to think
all the time in terms of because there's maybe the
lawyer in me, Buck, you have to think as if
sometimes you have the losing hand. Every lawyer out there
who's listening to us right now. Everybody who's been involved
(06:15):
in court cases. You're supposed to defend to the best
ability that you can to advocate for your client. And
sometimes your client doesn't have very good arguments, but you
still have an obligation to do them to the best
of your ability. If I sit back right now and
I try to make an argument for what Joe Biden
in his first year has done well as an advocate,
(06:38):
right you come to me and you say, Clay, I'll
pay you a thousand dollars an hour. You're an attorney,
make the case for Joe Biden in a court of
law right now, that he's done a great job in
the first year. It's almost impossible for me even to
come up with an argument. Buck, you can maybe argue
that infrastructure got passed, although I don't know what the
significance of the infrastructure bill was. In general, you can't
(07:01):
argue anything positive about COVID right now because cases at
all time high. I guess you can argue but for
the amazing ability of the Biden administration to get the
vaccines out, millions of more people would be dead. But
I don't think most people buy that, right that's not
an argument that has a sound logical scientific basis. Maybe
you can argue that China hasn't invaded Taiwan and that
(07:23):
so far Russia hasn't invaded Ukraine, but it's almost impossible,
I would add into that because of the approach of
the Biden apparatus and the way that they've allowed Fauci
to just go around haranguing everybody who doesn't agree. I
mean to essentially oppress everyone be wrong all the time,
and they and then say, you know, shut up, peasants,
I'm Lord Fauci. The issue has not been access to vaccines.
(07:47):
I mean, vaccines are anyone who wants to get a
vaccine at this point, if they know how to go
to the grocery store and get food for themselves, they
can get a vaccine. Okay, no one really thinks that
vaccine lack of access is what is driving or what
is it's people who either have made the affirmative decision
from early on they don't want to take it, which
is a position that I understand why they make that
(08:08):
case or how they make that case. But beyond that,
the Biden Biden presidency has destroyed trust for a lot
of people. At all this. So while they can say, oh,
we have all these shots everywhere for everybody, that's not
really The problem isn't that they don't have enough shots.
The problem is people don't trust Joe Biden, and they
don't trust what's been done in the name of the
regime by the CDC and the rest of them. And
(08:31):
when we see what's going on right now with their
refusal to just speak openly about the fact that stopping
the spread was a massive failure, of course people are
going to have questions about their right to have questions
about how much they can trust people like Fauci because
they keep lying to them. Yeah, and also there's lots
of people out there who could be like me, I'm
not getting the vaccine, but I was open to getting
(08:53):
the vaccine back in March and April. Remember I've told
this story. I was scheduled, my wife had scheduled me
to go get your Johnson and Johnson one shot Buck.
I was gonna because I said, I'm not gonna wait
a mind. That's the real quality right here, everybuddy. Yeah,
the Spirit Airline is the one that basically they've said, hey,
there's no point in even getting this shot. Anymore. But
I didn't want to get two shots. I was going
(09:13):
to go get the one shot. On the day that
I was scheduled to go to my local Publics or Kroger,
whatever it was to get my shot. They pulled it
from the market, and I was like, oh, well, this
is this is interesting, this is whatever. It's March or April.
You remember when they pulled it back because they had
questions about whether it was safe or not. And then
they brought it back. But by that point I was
looking around at the data and I was saying, Yeah,
(09:34):
this doesn't look like it's going to be that successful
in terms of making me any safer at all. So
I was open to the idea of getting the vaccine.
I think there are people out there like me, lots.
There are some people, like you said, who were one
hundred percent I'm never getting the vaccine. There are other
people who are like, hey, I'll wait and see how
this goes. I don't feel like I'm any kind of
significant threat from COVID. I'm certainly not. Now I can
(09:55):
speak for it directly. I've had COVID twice. I had
the alpha version and now I've had the omicron version
and neither one of them really were anything other than
a slight cold for me, and I'm through both of
them now, So like, why in the world at this
point would I ever go get vaccinated for anything when
I've now got double immunity in theory against both versions.
And this also raises what we've been discussing for many
(10:18):
months around natural immunity, which the Fauciite religion, because I
really do think this is turned into a religious faith
for a lot of people just ignores because it's inconvenient,
because well, what would that mean then? And by the way,
if you had better if you had more of a
focus on natural immunity, you would probably also have better
data because people would go out, they get tested for antibodies,
(10:40):
you'd know, and then you'd have a better sample set
to look at and see. Because still people will say
the vaccinated immunity, you know, the mouthpieces for the Biden
regime will say vaccinated immunity is better than natural immunity.
That there's most of the major studies have proven that
to be absolutely untrue, but they still get away with
it at some level because they've just ignored it. So
(11:01):
we don't have good data on it. Here we have
to look at data in Israel or data in the UK,
look at data that comes out of other countries. When
the reality is Nature's vaccine, which you just got there,
mister romcron Warrior. Nature's vaccine has been more durable and
more lasting than what we've seen from people that have
gotten the initial shots. And you know what, I could say, Buck,
(11:22):
because everybody who gets a breakthrough case then, as you
pointed out, we don't even use the phrase breakthrough case anymore.
But everybody who gets omicron after being double vaxed and
getting their booster says, oh, I got omicron, but it
would have been so much worse. Maybe I could say, Hey,
I got omicron, but because I already had COVID before,
it wasn't very bad for me. I don't know. Maybe
(11:42):
Omicron wouldn't have been bad for me if I'd never
had Alpha two. Maybe it wouldn't have been bad for
you if you hadn't gotten double vaxed and boosters. There's
been this whole trend online. Clay and I kind of
live in this matrix of Twitter and social media platforms.
A lot of you have you know, lives, so you
don't you don't see as much of this stuff. But
there's a trend of the most neurotic commies. They love
(12:03):
to do this thing where they say, I got four
shots and I double mask, and I never go outside,
and I wrapped my kids in saran wrap, and I
lice all my groceries and I still got a macron
and I'm super sick and I'm thirty years old. But
it would have been so much worse for that vaccine.
That's right, every single one of them. How do we
(12:23):
know that it would have been so much worse? How
do you like? Where do they come up with this stuff?
It's just it's like sad and hilarious at the same time.
I don't know what it's gonna take. This is why
all these people say, oh, I did everything right. It's
a virus. The one time when your mask is down
and you're in a crowded place, when it doesn't matter.
If you know, the three months before you were a
(12:44):
hypochondriac freak who wouldn't go anywhere. The one time you're
exposed you can get it, and then you got it
and then you're done. That's true, and nothing else matters,
by the way, But I do love it. Maybe I
need to start saying that I would have been so
much worse if I hadn't add natural immunity. We don't know,
I don't know. It might not have been any different
at all, Ahmacrod doesn't seem to be that big of
an issue for most people. Maybe my natural immunity didn't matter,
(13:07):
and maybe your vaccine didn't have any impact on how
you handled all of the all of the fauci i'd
argument At this point, Clay relies on that which can
be asserted and never disproven. It would have been worse
more cases more you know more this more that's true?
You never Yeah, how do you even? How do you
prove it? How do you disprove it? With each mortgage
free home the tunnel, the Towers Foundation delivers on its
(13:28):
promise to do good, never forget the sacrifices America's greatest
heroes have made for us. We witness them achieving on
both of those promises this past twelve months, in particular
because they have given gold Star families and families of
fallen first responders so much attention. Those families often include
young children and need the support and assistance of you
(13:48):
and me. This foundation leads the way with that kind
of care and attention. For some families, the Foundation brings
the comfort of knowing they can stay in the home
where they made memories with their fallen loved one. For
other emiliast, the Foundation enables new memories to be cherished forever.
All of this possible because of your generosity and support.

We are malaising through another hour of the Clay Travis
and Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for being here with us,
and if you want to call in eight one hundred
two two two eight two back of this hour, take
(14:30):
some more your calls want to hear from all of
you across this great country of ours. A lot of
talk this week about elections, about voter protections, voter ID
and of course some crazy stuff said by Joe Biden
that speech. If you aren't in favor of their voting rights,
that's the generic term that they use for the federal
(14:52):
government gets to be in charge of all elections in
all states and destroy federalism the process. If you're not
in favor of it. You're on the side of the
president the Confederacy for an example, I mean really ugly
stuff from Joe Biden's side. Not surprising. We've got someone
with US now who has looked very closely at the
realities of election integrity, both in the twenty twenty context
(15:13):
and going forward. Molly Hemingway, senior editor at the Federalists,
with us NOW also Fox News contributor. Her book is
Rigged How the media, Big Tech, and the Democrats seized
our elections. Molly, great to have you. It's great to
be here with you. So let's start with this one.
When you're seeing the Democrats get this whole mobilization going
(15:34):
on voting rights, acting like there's one never fraud and
two endless numbers of people who are somehow being prevented
from voting, but we never actually meet any of them.
What do you want people to know? What's the truth
of the election fight these days? Well, I think, first off,
it shouldn't be termed. It shouldn't be said in terms
of voting rights. Nobody credible thinks that there's a problem
(15:58):
with voting rights in a country where more people voted
in the last election than any in history by a
significant margin. The question is really about who controls elections
and how secure those elections are. Democrats have spent decades
really smartly strategizing about how to loosen security of elections
and open up opportunities for Shenanigans, shall we say, And
(16:23):
they have put a lot of money and effort into that,
and now they want to federalize that. They think that
what they did in twenty twenty to destabilize the elections
worked out well for them, and they'd like to nationalize
that and make Nancy Pelosi. The elections are of the
entire country. So it's really important in this country that
both winners and losers, and of course that changes over
(16:44):
time who those people are, that they both can trust elections.
It's actually the entire republic rests on that. So we
need to always make sure that our elections are secure
and that people can trust them. Molly, The whole story
here is a mass speak. It feels like Biden somehow
thought his Tuesday speech was going to change the overall
(17:06):
calculus associated with voting rights. Instead, he gets kneecapped by
his own senator's cinema and mansion saying hey, yeah, we're
not going to change things associated with the filibuster. But
in a larger context, this whole story seems very strategically
failed to me by the Democrats, because if you look
at recent Supreme Court jurisprudence as it pertains to states
(17:29):
having the right to set laws as it pertains to
their elections, there's no way, in my opinion that these
Democrat bills would be constitutional in any way at all either.
So this has always felt to me like somebody sort
of biking full speed into a brick wall and pretending
the brick wall isn't there. What am I missing about this? Yeah?
(17:51):
I think what you're missing is that the whole idea
is a long con, a long game. They might not
succeed right now, but what they're trying to do is
move the window to get people to think differently about
election security and to make this a winning issue in
the next several years. And there is another thing I
think Democrats are pretty good at. They say something that's
(18:13):
very extreme that has no chance of winning and might
even cause them electoral problems in the short run, say
limitations on gun rights, but they get over time more
and more people adopting their perspective, and that gives them
the weight they need to push to push for what
they really want. I mean, everything they did in twenty
twenty they claimed was for COVID relief, it actually have
(18:33):
been stuff they've been working on four decades. Decreasing the
ability to determine whether a ballot actually comes from someone
it claims to come from was something they've been working
on for a long time. It wasn't just something they
came up with during COVID. Expanding voting day into voting season,
which incidentally is something the country used to have and
moved away from precisely because we did see too much
(18:54):
fraud when you expanded voting day beyond a single day
into you know, you have different states voting on different
days for presidential elections, and it did increase the chance
of fraud. And so these things, these things have been
flow But the Democrats are very good, I think about
thinking long term and not just about the win that
they can get right now, because I don't think they're
going to get it right now, but they're thinking next
(19:16):
year and beyond it. We're speaking of Molly Hemingway, author
of Rigged, How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats
seized our elections, and to that end, Molly talk to
us about the role, because you know, big tech. We're
often having these discussions about one the way that the
censorship and the essentially the collusion with not just the
Democrat Party generally, but with the White House specifically to
(19:38):
suppress conservative and just alternative points of view is out
in the open. They're demanding more of it. They're not
pretending not to do it, which was the case even
let's say five or six years ago. How did big
tech change in your mind the course of the twenty
twenty election, and what can we do about it. It's
funny because we talk about election laws, which are very important,
(19:59):
and there were mad problems with it, but it pales
in comparison to how much big tech controlled the outcome
of the election. You might remember that when Democrats spent
four years claiming that the twenty sixteen election was stolen,
that they didn't really have a case, and like their
big case was that it was stolen because Russians had
bought a couple like one hundred thousand dollars in Facebook ads,
(20:22):
some of them for Hillary Clinton, some of them for
Donald Trump. That was enough to have the country be hysterical. Well,
compare that with what happened in twenty twenty. For four years,
I think big tech really worried that they had helped
Trump win by allowing him to go around the media
and speak directly to people. So they started changing algorithms.
They started the platforming the most effective conservative voices. They
(20:44):
increased the reach of leftist voices. They engaged in so
much election rigging it's unbelievable. I mean, just by way
of it's like to take one small example, when Donald
Trump would say that mail in ballots were susceptible to fraud,
something that everybody agreed with prior to twenty twenty, including
like the country of France, the Jimmy Carter election commissioned
(21:05):
the New York Times, Washington Post. He would be censored
for saying that. And when Joe Biden said that there
was like a conspiracy with the Post Office to control
the outcome of the election, none of those tweets were censored.
None of that rhetoric from anyone on the left was censored.
And it was a crazy conspiracy theory that affects elections,
and most dramatically, also, you think about how they conspired
(21:28):
with Democrats and other people in the media to suppress
the single most important story of the twenty twenty election,
which was information about the corruption of the Biden family business.
There is no question that American voters had a right
to know about the Biden family business, how it worked,
who all was involved in foreign entities and the big
(21:48):
tech companies. You brutally suppressed that story. And you know,
again go back to that Russia story. You know, one
hundred thousand dollars in Facebook ads is a sort of
horrible threat to democracy, but and you look at what
they did in twenty twenty and it's just so much
more massive. Molly, as you were about to come on,
and we appreciate you coming on. Right before the show started,
(22:11):
I was looking at my Twitter trending tab section and
I'm not sure if you had a chance to look
at this thread yet, but I shared a couple of
days ago, and we played on this show the Fisor
CEO saying the first couple of shots of his vaccine
had limited, if any protection against the new omicron variant
of COVID, And he said that in an interview It
(22:32):
was with Yahoo News. It was distributed. Twitter took it
down and said it was a copyright violation. I then
put it back up. Some other user had grabbed it.
They didn't take that down. But then they brought in
we're going to talk about this a little bit here
on the show. In a moment, they brought in a
fact checker, Reuters, and Reuters said that the Visor CEO
is be taken out of being taken out of context.
(22:54):
If you look at what they're doing right now, it
is an unbelievable height of disinformation. And Reuter's chairman, by
the way, sits on the board adviser. They are the
official fact checker for Twitter. This is effectively a paid
advertisement for Twitter masquerading as a factual fact check. This
kind of thing happens all the time. How do we
(23:16):
fix it. I'm not entirely sure how to fix it,
but it is a massive issue. It feels soviet what
they're doing. Yes, they are limiting what people can say
about things that we all see and that we all witness.
They're saying there's one approved interpretation of events. I mean,
it is true that people sometimes misinterpret things or take
(23:37):
things out of context. The cure for that is people
saying that you can say it in response, no, actually,
this is what they meant to say, or here's how
that should be read, and people debate, And that's what
happens in a free society. In an authoritarian regime like
the one we have now, with big tech colluding with
you at the request of Joe Biden. He just yesterday said, yes,
I ask you my allies in big tech, please suppress information.
(24:01):
If I say it's disinformation. I mean, that's not a
direct quote, but that's what he was saying. He decides
what disinformation and misinformation is then and then you get
suppressed based on what his views are. With everybody in
big tech being almost everybody in big tech being closely
aligned with the Democrat Party. This is a This is
an attack on some of our most foundational values as
a country, that we have the right to pursue truth
(24:24):
and that we can we can do that by obtaining
information and debating the meaning of that information. It is
so Unamerican, and there's so much money in this. As
you note, people are paying to do this suppression of information.
And it's not just American companies, it's China is heavily
involved in all of this. It works for them to
control the people and control the flow of information. But
(24:45):
it's sort of not working because the one thing you
know is that if something is fact checked, that's a
good chance that actually it's true. Molly's the author of Rigged,
How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized our Elections.
I'm actually about to buy my copy in real times.
I'm talking to you right now online, Molly before they
let you go. Though, When people, as I'm sure they
do all the time, come up to you and say
that there was fraud in the twenty twenty election, what
(25:08):
do you say to them? Well, I think that people
need to expand their understanding of what happened in twenty
twenty to be much much, much bigger than fraud. And
what I talk about in the book is how there
were changes to hundreds of election laws to make it
difficult to even detect fraud, to make it so that
you couldn't have confidence and the results that you wouldn't
(25:29):
know if a ballot was legit. That Mark Zuckerberg another
way that big tech medals spent four hundred and nineteen
million dollars to take over government election offices and flood
it with left wing activists so that they could run
the Democratic get out the vote operation in blue areas
of swing states. It was complicated. It was a conspiracy. Actually,
(25:50):
even Time magazine admits it was a conspiracy which they
described as a cabal of powerful people in all these
different establishment institutions to control the outcome of the election.
So I think, don't limit yourself to just fraud. It's
much bigger, much much more coordinated and widespread, and much
more effective in controlling the outcome of the election. Molly,
(26:12):
last question for you, were you surprised that Brett Kavanaugh.
You wrote a great book about Brett Kavanaugh that he
flipped his vote for to allow the healthcare mandate. And
that's kind of a two part question. Do you, based
on your connections to the Supreme Court, think that Stephen
Bryer is going to step down as Democrats are trying
to persuade him to do by the end of this term.
(26:35):
So there's a lot there, but yay, I would just
say it never works well to pressure people to pressure
these justices to resign. It usually means that that's how
they will stay there forever. I wrote in The Justice
on Trial with Carrie Saborino about how the Trump administration
was able to encourage Anthony Kennedy to feel comfortable stepping down,
which enabled them to denominate Brett Kavanaugh. And then we
(26:58):
also detail why he was chosen for that position, and
it really had a lot to do with how narrow
Republicans held the Senate and how they couldn't really put
someone much more strong than he was. And you know,
we tell that whole story. So I'm sadly not completely surprised,
but there were very particular circumstances for why he was chosen.
(27:21):
Molly having or everybody check out rigged her book. Look
at your copy now, Molly, come back and hang out
us again soon. Thanks so much. Take care. Finding your

final hour of the week. We appreciate all of you
hanging out with us Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. As
we roll into the weekend, we are joined now by
Glenn Beck, who a lot of you listen to before
this show begins all over many affiliate stations in this country.
(28:51):
Glenn's got a brand new book out, The Great Reset.
Appreciate him joining us and right off the top, Glenn,
how are you feeling. I got COVID here this week
as well. I understand that you did also. Yeah, I'm fine.
I mean it's a pain in the neck. But I
had it the first time before there was any vaccine
or anything, and that wiped me out for about three weeks.
(29:11):
You know, I've been broadcasting with it and everything. It's
in my lungs a bit for a cough, but it's
like it was for two days a bad cold, and
now it's just kind of lingers. I think this is
some of the best news that we've had. This looks
like it's now starting to repeat the pattern from the
(29:32):
nineteen eighteen in Fluenzo. The first year was bad, second
year was worse. By the third year it started just
to go from a pandemic to an endemic. And everybody
is getting it. I mean, this whole idea of passports
and now quarantining, now is the time everyone is going
(29:52):
to get it, no matter what you do. I mean,
the scientists at the base in Antarctica have it. How
did they get it? You know, this is the best
thing it can happen. The death rates down ninety one percent,
and it will will only get stronger from here. The
pandemic is just a few weeks away from being over.
Glennet's Buck always get to talk to you, sir. I
(30:15):
want to ask you if you could just put this
in a context for us. You've got this book out
this week, the Great Reset. I think people have heard
the term. It gets thrown around, But what is that?
As you write about it, but also as everybody listening
across the country needs to understand it, what does that mean?
I mean, it's a term that the other side has
actually used, but you mean something quite differently by it. No, actually,
(30:37):
I mean exactly what they mean. I'm sorry you put
into context what they're trying to accomplish with it. Pardon me,
go ahead. Yes, this is the this book, Buck, I
think is the most important book out there. And I
say that only because it's the only one of its kind.
If somebody else can write something better, I will happily
(30:58):
promote that. But it's the only one of its kind
in the West. And this isn't a direct assault on
the West. The Western way of life's Western values, our
capitalist system, the free market, freedom at every single level
is at stake. And when you understand what we've put
(31:20):
together in this book, We've taken it from their own words.
There's fifty pages of fine print footnotes. There's no speculation.
It is what they are doing and passing in laws
and everything else all over the world. It is the
Rosetta stone for the news when you're watching things like
(31:40):
the vaccine passports, when you're looking for why that they
are finding businesses. Why does home depot Why are they
allowed to be open but your local true hardware store can't.
Why can I go into a restaurant take off my
mask if I'm seated and eat without a mask, But
if I'm in an airplane, which has much better filtering system,
(32:03):
I'm sitting down and I'm eating and I have to
have the mask on in between bites. Everything is about
control and when you see the when you see what's
happening to us financially, this is the next big step.
COVID and global warming are there big pushes for this.
(32:24):
But the financial system is coming under attack and it
is very fragile. And the things that they're doing with
banking explains exactly why Nike would take half of their
audience and just throw it away, Why Coca Cola would
(32:44):
be saying we got to train people to be less white.
Why would these companies do that? It doesn't make any
sense unless you understand what's really happening with the Great Reset. Glenn,
we start off the show today and I bet you
did as well talking about what a disaster of a
week it has been for Joe Biden. Where do we go?
(33:06):
If you are And I even said, hey, if you
were paying me to try to defend the Joe Biden
administration right now, I can barely even think of an
argument to make. Where do we go now for the
Biden administration in twenty twenty two as we head towards
what I think most people would anticipate at this point
in time is going to be a red tide, overwhelming
(33:30):
wave that is going to sweep across the country come November.
What do they do to try to stop that? Can
they do anything? So a really good question, and this
again goes into the Great Reset. This is by government fiat.
This is not This is a run around all constitutional laws.
(33:53):
That's why you see what they're doing. You know, when
the Supreme Court said no, you can't have vaccine mandates,
what you do? He pressured the businesses to do it anyway?
When they when they say things online that he doesn't like.
This week, he came out and said, I urge these
the companies to stop these podcasts. This is a this
(34:17):
is an end run, and there's something really important that people. Really,
when you get this piece, you will understand that you
Washington is going to become very irrelevant soon. It's called ESG.
They're ESG scores. I don't know if you've heard of
them yet, but they are going to make every bit
(34:39):
of difference in your life in the next year. Um.
It's a Environmental, Social Justice and Governance score. Now, we
saw the beginnings of this with gun control. Remember they said,
you know what, we can't you might not be able
to get insurance and so you're gonna have to pay,
you know, extra for insurance. And these banks, I don't know,
(35:02):
we don't want to do business with companies that are
selling guns. That's just the beginning of it. This score
is an arbitrary score set by the banks and the
elites and people like Black Rock along with the government.
And it really is going to turn into pay for
play and it will be first on the scores like
(35:23):
Coca Cola. They're already doing this in Europe. Coca Cola
has to justify their business to the banking community and
to the other regulators that are really not part of
the government. It's just the financial community, and they have
to justify that they're being good stewards of the environment,
(35:44):
that they are promoting social justice, that they have enough women,
enough blacks, enough Hispanics on their board, and beyond this,
if you don't, for instance, because global warming is the
number one saying that the Great Reset is about, it'll
be the heaviest hammer. The Fed just announced this week
(36:07):
that they're going to start doing stress test climate stress
tests on all of the banks. What that means is,
are you as a bank loaning money to somebody who
does fracking, somebody who is in natural gas, somebody that
is drilling for oil or building a refinery. If you
do that, because of the Great Reset, they are phasing
(36:32):
out fossil fuels, and that will put an undue stress
on your bottom line. So if you continue to make
those loans, then the Federal Reserve says, this is a
sketchy bank. We don't know how solid it is. So
everybody is being forced to get out of whatever the
government says through their little cabal, not through Congress. Whatever
(36:57):
they decide they want to do extra constitutional, they just
do it. Now, when you're a big company, let's say
you don't do anything with oil or gas, but you
make a widget that the fracking people use, Well, now
you're gonna be get a lower ESG score as well,
(37:18):
and the bank may not give you a loan until
you stop selling those widgets to the oil company. So
this goes all the way down to the individual investor.
If you go to your Marril Lynch fund or Charles
Schwab fund, I can guarantee you you're going to find
ESG and they have already started putting those on your
(37:39):
personal portfolio. So whatever it is you buy in your
stock you're four oh one K, you know you're a
retirement fund, it now has an ESG score. If you
have a low ESG score, banks won't want to do
business with you because you're a risk. It's it's absolutely insidious,
(38:03):
and it is. It is the reason why businesses are
doing what they're doing. It goes all the way to
why they are targeting parents at schools, because that's part
of the agenda. This is an entire revamping of the
entire system. I mean nobody's talking about it. We're speaking
of glennback the book this week that's out, The Great Reset,
(38:25):
Joe Biden and the Rise of twenty first century Fascism. Glenn.
One more for you, UM. As people are hearing this,
that might be thinking, okay, well, how are we doing
in the counterattack if you will, and what can we do?
What can people do listening to this? So to push
back the big here's the biggest thing, um, and common
sense will tell you this. First of all, you have
(38:45):
to educate yourself. You can't defeat Nazis if you don't
know what Nazis are. You can't feat defeat Islamic extremism
if you don't know the difference between Islamicism and an Islamicist.
You have to know, um, And the curve has to
be almost straight up with America, we are way behind
the eight ball. And the other thing that is really
(39:08):
common sense after education, spreading it to others. But also
do not buy into the idea that this is too
big of a problem and you can't fix it. It
is going to be fixed by locals. It is by
doing supporting your local business. It is by supporting your
(39:28):
local school board, getting onto your Zoning Committee. You will
be amazed in small towns all across the country how
much is already zoned. And it's all part of this
global agenda. It is phenomenal when they talk about, and
it's in the book, owning all federal government owning thirty
(39:49):
percent of not only the land, but all water in
the United States by twenty thirty, by twenty fifty, owning
fifty percent. This is a massive plan that will dramatically
change human existence. This is the anti American revolution, and
(40:10):
it will take individuals to stop it. It will take
you working in your local community. One of the things
you can do, stop doing business with these big, huge
fed banks. Get your money into a local owned and
operated bank, one that's taking your loans and your deposits,
(40:31):
and they're using it in your own hometown. We have
to be locally focused everything in our society right now.
Everything they're trying to do is to make you feel alone,
make you feel small, make you feel like nobody can
speak out. They are terrified, terrified of the individual, and
we keep dismissing ourselves. Don't you have all the power
(40:55):
and are the only way it's going to stop. It's
not going to stop because of Washington. The book is
the great reset. The author Glenn Beck, Glenn our friend.
Thank you so much for being with us in your
work on this. We'll talk to you soon. I have
to tell you you have the you had the hardest
transition in radio. I've been in radio for forty five years.
I have never seen anyone that had a harder uphill
(41:18):
battle to do than to replace Rush Limbaugh. And I
am so proud of both of you. You're doing such
a great job. Congratulations, Thank you so much, so much.
It means a lot coming from you. Thanks. Guys. Think
of the number of times very nice to say. Think
of a number of times and the number of websites

are stolen by an online computer hacker, a cyber thief.

you specifically in his or her sights. But when they
get ahold of your data, they're quick to tap into
your credit card account and make as many purchases or
(42:01):
open as many accounts as possible. You'll never know what happened. Eventually,
you find out when the bill shows up. But it's
important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting
your life. Good thing there's LifeLock. LifeLock helps detect a

and if we see it, and by we I mean
our boy Dub who is actually reviewing all these, we'll
(43:30):
read some of them on the show, maybe as soon
as next week. So go get those podcast reviews in.
Appreciate all of you for doing so. We bring in
now the chair of the RNC Ron McDaniel, and she
is here as you guys have created. Thank you for
spending time with us. Year on Friday, a bit of
a tempest in the Washington, DC weather. I want to
(43:53):
play for you here what Jensaki said yesterday. I'm sure
you heard it, but if our audience didn't, about presidential
candidates not participating in debate sponsored by this group. The
president has participated in many debates over the course of
his career and believes they play a role in allowing
(44:15):
the American people to hear from candidates and where they stand.
So I think it's more imposed question best posts to
the R and C on what they're so afraid of.
So she asked the question, what are you guys afraid of?
Thanks for coming on with us. How would you respond
to Jensaki? Yeah, I think the question more should go
back to her, what are you afraid of? Because of
course you love presidential debate committee that picked a moderator
(44:37):
who worked for you, worked for Joe Biden. They started
debates after twenty six states and started absentee voting, and
they moved the second debate to virtual because you know,
Joe couldn't leave the basement. So of course they love
that commission. I would say to them, why are you
so afraid to negotiate with the networks directly? Why do
you need a middleman to do your dirty work for you?
(45:00):
And that's what the RNC is saying. We're sick of
working with a bias committee. The things that we've asked
them to guarantee that they wouldn't do for twenty twenty four,
like not picking a moderator that worked for the Democrat
starting debates before twenty six states had started voting, and
not having their committee members trash the Republican nominee. I
(45:20):
think our pretty common sense. They told us we're not
going to guarantee those things, and so now we're going
to look for a fair forum for debate for our kendidate,
Ronald's buck. And this is music to my years. And
I've got to tell you, I've watched the debates increasingly
in recent years with frustration. It's so obvious. I mean,
just off the top of one's head, you can think
about someone of the likes of John Harwood involved. It
(45:42):
was just a clear Democrat partisan in a presidential debate.
What happened with Candy Crowley at CNN when Mitt Romney
and Barack Obama were debating the issue of Benghazi. I mean,
there's so many key moments that even come up, never
mind the overall tilt toward the left and toward the
Democrats of this. So what can be done now? I mean,
(46:02):
assuming that you are running the RNC, so you're the
person we need to talk to you about this. There's
an understanding that these debates are biased and unfair in
favor of Democrats. Because they control ninety five percent of
the journalism and quote unquote journalism and media in the country.
What does a more fair forum look like. How can
we get to a place where we don't have a
(46:23):
Democrat hack taking cheap shots at the would be next
Republican president of the United States on a debate stage.
Totally back, and I think a big part of it
is getting rid of a commission that's bias. And part
of their plan is, oh, we negotiate with the nominee,
and we negotiate with the nominee. Well, the Republican nominee
won't be in place until July or August of twenty
(46:44):
twenty four. By then, they've contracted the venues. They picked them,
not moderators. It's too late for the RNC is interveeting
now before we pass our rules for twenty four and
we are putting them on notice, and we are saying
our candidates cannot seek our nomination unless they agree to
not work with the CPD, which is going to open
the door for less bias or non biased, neutral arbiters
(47:07):
to come forward, for us to negotiate directly with networks
or to find forums that will conduct a fair debate
for the American people conduct debates before twenty six states
start voting, agree to not pick moderators that worked for
either candidate. Really simple things that we're asking for. This
is a rule change we're going to propose at our
winter meeting and it will pass at a later meeting. Rona.
(47:30):
I know people are super excited about the midterms coming
up in November, but there are also a ton of
our listeners that are even more excited about the idea
of a twenty twenty four presidential campaign. When will the
first debates begin for the Republican presidential candidates? Because those
were wildly entertaining in the run up if you remember
(47:51):
certainly as you well do in sixteen with so many
different candidates on the stage. We'll see how that looks
in twenty four. And do you anticipate still Iowa as
the official launching point for the Republican race for whoever's
going to get the primary. Yeah, So all of this
is starting right now with the Republican Republican National Committee.
(48:12):
So we're going to have our winner meeting where the
Presidential Nominating Committee and the Debate Committee will put their
suggestions forward and then it'll be embedded in the rules.
I haven't seen a lot of movement from the members
saying they want to move away from the traditional IOWA
New Hampshire, so we'll see what they do. I don't
want to get ahead of their work, and on the debates,
(48:33):
I think they're going to have to start earlier. If
you're looking at the primaries and how that's stacking up
for twenty twenty four, they're going to be starting earlier
than ever. You could have some primaries back in December
of twenty three, so that means debates we'll have to
start earlier and earlier. So we'll be adjusting the calendar accordingly.
Is there anything that's going to just stop this from
(48:54):
halv I just want to know this all sounds great,
Rona and we're speaking Rona McDaniel ahead of the RNC.
Is this going to be implemented? I mean, I just
I don't want to get excited that we're not going
to go into Democrat ambushes in the presidential cycle and
then all of a sudden, you know, it's like a
Lada Lucy pull in the football at the last second.
So the only way this can happen really right now
(49:15):
is if the RNC takes an affirmative stance because the
CPD has had a monopoly, there's been no competition in
that space, and all their bias always just towards the Republicans.
So the Debate Committee for the RNC voted unanimously to
take this step, and now we're going to take it
to the full one sixty eight. I've got work to
do to make sure the members agree to this rule change,
(49:37):
but we've had overwhelming support from grassroots and people who
have understood this process for so long, who bang their
head and say, why do Republicans let their candidate deal
with this and get into these debates with these bias moderators.
And this is the first time the RNC has stepped
up and said enough is enough. We're going to fight
for our seventy four million voters, and we're going to
fight for our future nominee, and that start right now. Rona.
(50:02):
Thank you, fantastic stuff. We'll look forward to the fight,
and also we can't wait for that twenty twenty four
race to start. Thank you. Well, We're side were twenty
twenty two. Keep the mid terms first, everybody's side for
twenty twenty two. We're already looking ahead Clay and I
are mobilizing everybody. Thank you. Lots of conversation this week
about voting and voting access. I know you guys value
(50:23):
your own vote what it stands for. Now you also
vote every single month with the money you spend in
the companies you choose to spend it with. Consider your
cell phone provider and the bill you're paying each month.
You're likely to be surprised and disappointed to see how
much of your money supports the candidates and issues they
donate to leftist politicians pushing agendas that don't match up
(50:45):
with your own. Now there's a solution. It's Pure Talk.
Get your cell phone service from pure Talk. Instead, they
use the exact same towers accessing the exact same five
G network as one of those companies. And with pure
Talk you get peace of mind that you're supporting veteran
run business with employees all here in the US. Buck,
how do you get hooked up from your cell phone
(51:06):
right now? It's so easy. Dial pound two five zero,
that's pound two fifty and just say the words pure talk.
That's pure Talk. You'll save an additional fifty percent off
your first month. Again, dial pound two five zero from
your cell phone right now and say pure talk
