Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to today's edition of The Klay, Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Once again a reminder our George Stephanopolis is sitting down
with President Biden today in an exclusive one on one interview,
the president's first television interview since that debate. The entire
interview will then air tonight at eight pm right here
on ABC.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Wow. What is ABC's Wit Johnson on the call setting
up this ever consequential interview that's going to take place tonight.
A couple of notes for you at Yon sat here.
Independence Day is one hundred and twenty three days away,
and should Joe stay or is George going to make
(00:42):
them go? George is going to make them go now,
you know, it's a fascinating moment in time we live in.
And happy Independence Day weekend to you. Obviously, this is
not Clay or Buck. I am Brian Mudd, and I
am more than thrilled to be able to assist the
guys while they enjoy an extended Independence Day holiday, which
(01:03):
I know a lot of folks are doing.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Appreciate you being here with me.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Today, and it is a highly consequential day, one where
Joe Biden's fate might be decided, and you think of
the grand scheme of a person's political career, and specifically
the president of the United States, his political career in
the hands of George Stephanopolis, think about how truly pathetic
(01:31):
in so many respects that really is that the king
maker now is George Stephanopolis. Yeah, so I mentioned that
Independence Day is one hundred and twenty three days away.
I mean yeah, I mean technically yesterday, so we were
talking about what about three hundred and sixty four before
(01:53):
we roll around to another one. But I mean, really,
how independent do you feel right now? How good you feel?
How free do you feel?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I mean, yeah, a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Of folks are taking the extended holiday weekend, but no,
with only twenty four percent of people feeling like the
country is heading in the right direction, don't exactly have
a lot of people that are feeling all that great
about things right And by the way, seriously, who are
those people you know you'll see twenty four percent approve
in the direction of the country. I mean, even the
(02:25):
leftist in your life. Do you know anybody who goes, yeah,
I mean like this is great, Like they take a
look at Joe Biden and think, you know what I
need in my life is more of that guy's sweet
political action.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Because I'm just saying it's amazing. I mean, who does that, right?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So the twenty four percent of people who are like, yes,
let's keep doing this, I don't get it. But anyway,
for the greater than three quarters of Americans that do
get it, I haven't exactly felt like celebrating, or maybe
better say that you got a lot of folks that
just can't afford to celebrate. I mean, after all, you
(03:04):
got to be making twenty one percent more money today
to simply afford the same stuff that you bought four
years ago today. And here's the hint that you already
knew you are not. The average person is making eighteen
percent more today than four years ago. So yeah, I mean,
the odds are you are worse off than you were
(03:25):
four years ago today. And as I've always said, you
can lot of people about what policy will do, and
you're always going to have those that are going to
be inclined to believe you, right. I mean, if you
are someone who lines up behind a politician and politician lies,
he might be willing to believe that politician. But what
you can't do you can't lie to people about what
(03:47):
is or is and in the wallet because.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
They know there's not money there. There's no line that's
going to change that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And that is just the first and a long line
of examples of what we're unhappy about. You know, we
don't approve pretty much anything that this president chooses to do.
If you take a look at Biden's approval rating on
all of the issues, there's like nothing, there's nothing where
we look at him and go, yes, you've at least
gotten that one, right. If you take a look at
(04:16):
his approval rating on the economy overall average of the polls,
Real Clear Politics average economy, it's forty percent right now,
and it gets worse from there. Foreign policy thirty four percent,
the Israel Hamas war specifically thirty one percent, inflation thirty
five percent, crime thirty eight immigration thirty two. So, in
(04:37):
other words, pretty much everything everything that dementia Joe chooses
to do turns the poop, right, I mean, pretty much
everything he does is bad, which is pretty hard to
make happen. It's almost like, if you intentionally sought out
to be a really bad president, could you be more successful.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Than Joe Biden has been?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
In in that regard, and that takes me to independence,
say happening in one hundred and twenty three days, because
one hundred and twenty three days is election day, and
that is the day we can declare independence from endless
wars due to Biden's weakness, the day that we can
(05:20):
declare our independence from open borders and empty wallets. And yes,
I mean no slight to our country's holiday. No, no
slight to the declaration of independence. It is worth celebrating,
but every bit is important to celebrating its protecting it,
which you know, if we keep going the way we're going,
(05:43):
not so good. And then you got one hundred and
ninety nine days from today, not that I'm counting, but
we are now under two hundred days from the day
that's sanity. I'm like, like, literally, at this point, sanity
can be restored to the United States. That's inauguration Day.
That is, provided that each and every one of us
(06:04):
do everything that we can do to vote early and
to help turn out the vote. We're going to be
talking about that during the course of the show today
because it is all hands on deck for every one
of us for the next one hundred and twenty three days.
We cannot take anything for granted, regardless of who's running
for president. But yeah, speaking of which, and where we
(06:25):
started here at the onset, what will George do? He's
not King George, but he almost has the power of
King George historically at this point. So yeah, in the
grand scheme of things not going well, just let's say work,
for example, take your work for a moment. You know
(06:46):
things aren't going well at work if somebody comes to
you and they're on the level and they go, hey,
your boss over there, they have dementia. I mean, just
straight up you're asked if your boss has dementia. Probably
has never happened, right, But here we are, and if
(07:10):
you are White House Press Secretary Queen Jean Pierre, I
mean she has specifically, the question on Tuesday to KJP
by a White House correspondent was this, does President Biden
at eighty one years old, have Alzheimer's or any form
of dementia or degenerative illness that causes these sorts of lapses.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
And it's a yes or no question.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, just kind of you know, straight up typical question
that you're gonna lob to the White House Press Secretary.
I mean, this is the state of affairs to where like,
that's a totally legit question to be asking. And her
answer was this, she said, are you ready for it?
And it was like a one Mississippi right there, because
we're like one Mississippi. When she says are.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You ready for it?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I'm like, yeah, you geta level with us. And then
she came back and said, it's a no. It's a no.
And I hope that you're asking the other guy the
same exact question, which, by the way, I also hope happens,
because I mean, make no mistake, there is entertainment to
be had by a reporter walking up to Trump and saying, hey,
(08:15):
mister President, so kareem. Jean Pierre says, Joe Biden doesn't
have dementia, but she thought I should ask you if
you do. I mean, what do you think the answer
to that one is? I mean, possibilities regarding his response
endless and probably quite entertaining. But what isn't so entertaining.
(08:38):
It is just what a laughing stock this country currently is.
You know, take a look at Independence Day. I take
a look at you know, are standing on the world stage.
We have all these wars and all this conflict that
has been playing out. Why because Joe Biden is weak.
As simple as that, none of it happens if Joe
(08:58):
Biden isn't president of the United States. The collapse of
Afghanistan didn't happen the way it did. Putin never invades Ukraine.
There's no way that you would have had Hamas that
would have been comfortable carrying out the attack on Israel
because you know what Trump would have done. Just every
(09:20):
time you turn around, the weakness has manifested itself in
ways that make the entire world lass safe. Every day
that Joe Biden as President of the United States, we're
less safe in our own communities. The world is less safe. Yeah,
it's not entertaining. When you think about Shijing Ping, when
you think about Vladimir Putin, you think about the mulas
(09:41):
and Ran, when you think about Lilla racket man. You
know I was thinking about this. You think about Kim
Jong un, you think about Lullar racket man. Who's the
more sane seeming right now, like you know, who's of
sounder mind at this point, Kim Jong un or President
of Binen. I mean that that can't be good that
we're possibly having that conversation either. So yeah, I mean, look,
(10:05):
they're all watching Joe, They're all calculating next moves based
on his incompetence. So yeah, what isn't funny is that
if dementia Joe can no longer go, what's behind door
number two isn't exactly any better?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And she cackles.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
And by the way, make no mistake, if Joe's and
no go all roads to the Democrat nomination they go
through James Clyburn and Kamala Harris. I mean those that
think that she could just simply be slipped aside for
I don't know, like the gret who stole Christmas, you know,
by locking down Michigan during the pandemic then fleeing the Florida.
I don't think they've been paying enough attention. And by
(10:40):
the way, just on that note, there's only been one poll,
as a Democrat internal poll that came out at the
end of last week after the debate, head ahead with Trump.
Trump was ahead of all of the door number three options,
you know, the ones behind the vice president. But I
get the significance of the Gret in Michigan, Michigan a
(11:01):
critical state. But if people actually got to know her.
I'm not sure that necessarily I portends good things for
her anyway. But I'll also speak a little bit later
in the show about what happens in broker conventions and
white is that we haven't had one in either party
in a really long time.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Here's the hint.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Tends not to work out too well for the party
that is traveling down that path.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
See you take a look at all this.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Has there ever been a greater indication this Independence Day
weekend that we need to make America great again than
all of this? And again, what does this say about
the leader of the semi free world that people are
waiting with baited breath to see Democrat hack operative? George
Stefanopolis played the role of Caesar And so, yeah, should
(11:50):
Joe go or should he stay?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So about this, you know you're a week president when
George Stefanopolis holds the keys at this point, people know
if Joe will drop out, two people you should probably ask.
The first would be the doctor, the doctor without a doctor,
and even Jill Biden because she clearly enjoys being president
(12:14):
of the United States. You know a lot of people wondered, Hey,
who is it that actually runs the show. You know
you've had the thoughts about, hey, it might still be
the Big Oh, or maybe you know in Obama proxy
like Susan Rice. Just take a look at what's happened
since the debate. Jill Biden clearly loves being President of
the United States. The second person you should ask is
George Stefanopolis today. Will Biden get the thumbs up meaning
(12:37):
that Stephanopolis is prepared to help carry Biden across the
November fifth finish line, or is again the thumbs down
meaning that George asks real questions, he demands real answers,
that he doesn't edit Joe's blank stares, his coughs, or
the mumbles out of the interview. Here's one thing you
can count on from President Biden's interview with Stephanopolis today.
(13:00):
You're gonna have the answer to that question today. Originally
ABC News, they said they were going to air the
first nippet of today's interview at six point thirty on
World New News tonight with David Muir Hymn of Good Hair,
with the full interview that was going to air Sunday
morning on This Week with George steph Knopolis. So Wednesday
(13:21):
night you had ABC that saying, you know what, Actually,
we're gonna go ahead and do a primetime special Friday
night at eight.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
They're going to do the whole thing eight o'clock tonight.
And maybe that's just the ratings play. Maybe they thought
there's more opportunity to go ahead and just let it
happen tonight, or maybe there is something more strategically interesting
and faulved with him. And on the one hand, who
would ever want to spend a Friday night on a
holiday weekend watching Joe Biden? On the other hand, what
(13:51):
is it that you could possibly do tonight that would
be more potentially entertaining? So yeah, should Joe stay or
should go?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
So just as the Clash sang the song, you have
Stephanopolis that holds the script. So you can get your
popcorn ready and let the festivities roll tonight. I'm Brian
mudd In for clayon Buck. Okay, he there, it is
(14:22):
Brian mudd In for Clay and Buck host the e
Brian mud Show. I've done to my home station w
j and O in West Palm Beach and can check
out the Brian mud Show podcast where you get your
podcasts at Brian Mudd Radio socially, and one of the
things that I am looking for this election cycle isn't
(14:43):
just a win, It is generational political change.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Generational political change.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
So one of the biggest questions as we enter the
final four months of this election cycle, can we see
a Stewart shift in the American electorate one of the
biggest complaints by conservatives for a long time. Now, yeah,
we occasionally win elections. By whatever happens, the net effect
(15:16):
is like only temporarily pausing the insanity, right, It just
it slows down the progressivism they marked the march to Marxism.
You know, for example, you think back, it was only
sixteen years ago that Barack Obama ran a campaign that
was opposed to same sex marriage. And look what we
(15:37):
have today today We have dudes who look like ladies
competing athletically as girls and tax payer funded child mutilations
taking place. I mean, that's inside of sixteen years. And
by the way, Obama was even on the record as
early as recently as twenty ten say yeah, I'm still
opposed to same sex marriage. And now take a look
at where we are. So the question is not can
(16:00):
we win an election this year? The question is, can
we change hearts and minds and ultimately end up changing
a whole generation of voters.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I think the answer is yes.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I think we have an opportunity that we haven't had
since Reagan, and I want to dive into that a
bit more.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
So.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We're going to be teeing up the generational opportunity that
is in front of us.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And as part.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Of that conversation, we're going to be teeing it up
with Rightley Gaines. She's going to be joining us a
next somebody who knows a thing or two about winning
over hearts and minds and fighting the battles that need
to be fought.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Be right back, Fry mud In for playing buck there.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
You people are a bunch of mind numb robots to
the drive by media. You are incapable of thinking on
your own. You are your public opinions are nothing but
the result of whoever it is influencing you, Me, Fox News, whoever.
You're incapable of independent thought, critical thought. What happened.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
All this does.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Is show how these hacks fail to understand the bond
that exists between a candidate and his audience or voters.
Let me, let me give you one little hint, media,
Donald Trump cannot be hurt by something he does not say.
Donald Trump nor any other candidate cannot be hurt by
(17:36):
something he does not do. For you people in the
media and in the Republican establishment, to voote for you
people waiting for Trump to blow it, waiting for Trump to.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Step in it, whatever you think is going to happen.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
It's typical and traditional from people who think their job
is to take people out. And that's what the media
thinks their job with us is is to take us out.
The only way Trump's going to be taken out as
if somebody comes along and is better. The media didn't
make Trump so little hint you immediate people, you can't
take him out.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah, so timeless wards a wisdom from Rush. I was
thinking about that as we are watching today, what will
be with the George Stephanopolis interview where you literally have
Stephanopolos playing the role of like King George or Caesar,
where it's going to be a thumbs up or a
thumbs down, where if he wants to take out the
President of the United States today, he probably can if
(18:32):
in his interview with Biden he presses him, if he
asks him real questions. If there's not editing to protect
Biden and his responses, he very well might be able
to push him off the cliff today get him out
of this race. Interesting that ABC has bumped up that
interview to eight o'clock tonight prime time rather than rolling
(18:53):
it out on Sunday morning. So we'll see what Stephanopolis decides.
But you think about it, Rush talking about the bond
with Trump and his voters because it was organic media
had nothing to do with Donald Trump rising to political prominence.
It was all about him and the bond with us
after more than fifty years as a politician, and he's
(19:18):
currently the president of the United States. We're talking about
George stinking Stephanopolis maybe deciding Joe Biden's political future. Just
think about the diconomy there. It really is something remarkable.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Brian Mudd in for Claim Buck today and speaking of diconomy, now,
I mentioned just before the break one of the things
that has bugged a lot of us on the right
for a long time is that even when we win elections,
all it does is slowed down the insanity. It's like
hitting the pause button on the insanity. Now, I use
(19:53):
the example of you go back sixteen years ago, Obama
ran on being opposed as same sex marriage, and now
we have dudes who look like ladies competing athletically as girls,
and tax payer funded child mutilations.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I mean, it's just.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It's insane as soon as the progressives have an opportunity.
But this time there's something different. We have the opportunity
for political change this time around, and the first place
that starts is in opening up the eyes of people
who previously were not necessarily as receptive to information. There's
always been this truism in American politics. You tend to
(20:30):
be as left as you're going to be when you're young,
and you tend to get a little bit more conservative
as you actually get a job and you go out
on your own and you realize, oh, shoot, that's how
much stuff costs, and oh I have to pay taxes,
and that's how much they're I mean, that tends to
make people more conservative, and in addition to traditional family formation.
(20:52):
That's why it's so interesting that we continue to see
that the youngest voters are those that are the most
unhappy with Joe Biden. The youngest voters are those that
are the least likely to want to vote for him,
for him of any generation right now, that is an opportunity,
and we've seen consistently and pulling that it's basically a
(21:14):
horse race with voters eighteen to thirty four between Trump
and Biden. It's in some cases we'll see poles, we're
under thirty Trump leads. I've never in political analysis seen
something like this. Somebody wanted to bring in. Who understands
and is on kind of like the cutting edge of
all of this is Riley Gaines Barker, who of course
is the host of Outkicks Gains for Girls podcasts, also
(21:38):
the author of Swimming Against the Current, Fighting for common
Sense in a world that's lost its mind? Isn't that
the truth? Riley, thank you for taking the time with us.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Well, Brian, thank you so much for having me on you.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Bet so, tell me a little bit about what you're
seeing right now. You're in the middle of all of
the insanity regularly because you've been trying to fight these battles.
Are you seeing progress being made as we're four months
out before the election.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Definitely, I think there's lots of progress being made, lots
of impact being had. There's no doubt about that. To
address your point, you know, specifically about younger voters here
being a recent college graduate myself speaking on I think
last semester, I spoke on twenty five different college campuses,
campuses ranging from smaller private Christian schools like Truet, McConnell
(22:29):
or College of the Ozarks, and of course everything in
between until like cal Berkeley, Princeton, Harvard and what we
are seeing on college campuses and really what the nation,
what the world got to see after what happened in
the Middle East after October seventh, we have seen what
these institutions have created. To your point, I mean, I
(22:50):
think you hit the nail on the head and saying
that younger voters, especially younger women females, we are our
own worst enemy. But I will say to that point,
I think there's a lot more people like me than
the media. Let's on people who are sane. I mean,
that's really what it boils down to. It's a kind
(23:12):
of this battle of crazy versus normal. There are a
lot more normal, level headed, reasonable people out there than
what we think. But in terms of impact as a whole,
what we're seeing across this nation, Look, twenty six states
are now suing the Biden administration for their illegal administrative
rerighte of Title nine. I don't think we would have
seen that two years ago. Now we've seen over ten
states have some sort of preliminary injunction introduced so they
(23:35):
do not have to comply to this rewrite this new
proposal when it takes effect on August first, twenty four
states have some sort of fairness in women's sports bill. Again,
I don't think WEEO would have seen that two years ago.
Even the way people are talking about these issues, I
think we've reached a point where people are willing to say, look,
that's a man, like that's a naked man at that
(23:57):
The parable of the Emperor wears no clothes could not
be more true than it is at this blip in
time in America.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, I mean some things are complicated issues man versus woman,
the biological differences there not really not really all that complicated,
which just speaks to the level of insanity in so
many respects encouraging what you're saying. And you know, Riley,
one of the things that I've been thinking about, you know,
all joke that like Michael J.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Fox was acting, but I really was. Alex P.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Keaton, you know, as a gen xer, as a child
of the eighties, being in that era, having Ronald Reagan
as president, how good things were.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
It's shaped an entire generation. But on the right, there really.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Hasn't been anything that has come along to create that
yet again, the kind of generational change that is needed
to maybe you know, turn around what we're talking about here.
And I actually believe that had it not been for COVID,
Trump wins reelection and we probably would have had that opportunity,
(25:04):
we might be there right now already. But I definitely
think the opportunity exists because, among other things, are the
policies of the Biden administration, the policies of the progressive left.
They tend to hurt the youngest voters, the youngest people
the most. And as you're talking about, you know, whether
it's athletically or otherwise, are you starting to see that
(25:26):
understood as you have younger adults in or the real
world and go, hold on, you know, I'm really being
screwed here.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I think so. And again, it's not necessarily a result
of Unfortunately, it's not necessarily a result of prosperous things
that are happening in this nation. Unfortunately, it is the
result of disastrous things happening to this nation. I think
people understand more clearly now from a global perspective what's
been going on with this world. We have a president
(25:55):
in the White House right now who is not America first,
he's an America last, he's a globalist. Actually at that he
wants open borders, not secure borders. We have a president
in the White House who cannot, actually I think he can,
who refuses to acknowledge that differences even exist between men
and women. Actually, what he has done is say that
(26:16):
we're the same man, woman, female, male, mother, father, boy, girl, sex, gender, identity,
it's all interchangeable. Actually, it's synonymous. And when you are
willing to go that far, people see it. People understand.
They understand that Joe Biden's credibility has been compromised entirely
on every topic. If you cannot say men and women
(26:37):
are different, how in the world do you expect us,
regardless of age, regardless of any identity factor, regardless of
if you're white, you're black, you're old, you're young, forget it.
How do you expect us as American people to believe
a single word that comes out of your mouth on
any topic.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
That's a really good point. And when you talk about credibility,
I do think that's a big part of it. And
with a lot of younger adults too, to where authenticity matters.
How do you see that plane Because obviously you know
the Biden administration, I thinks authenticity in so many different respects.
(27:16):
But in terms of policies seeing through that, are they
now taking a look at Trump and in maybe realizing
what they've been missing?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I think so. Regardless of how you feel about Trump
or his policies, this is a person who has character.
This is a person who is relatable in the way
that look, he's not a politician, and I think that's
I think that's what the American people want for so long.
And look, I'm in DC right now. I've spent a
pretty ample amount of time in the nation's capital over
(27:48):
these past two years. It truly is the swamp. I've
seen the corruption firsthand. I've seen the deceit and the
lies and the manipulation certainly on both sides. But what
Trump is is just about as real as it gets.
There's no sugarcoating. You never have to wonder what he's
thinking because guess what he will tell you, And it's
kind of him in trouble in the past.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
People talk about the mean tweets, Well, guess what is
so much worse than mean tweets. It is what we
are seeing happening to this nation. It's what we saw
in Philadelphia last night, the burning of American flags. It's
pornography in schools that is so much worse than the
mean tweets. It's the inflation that we're seeing. And so look,
I think people they're understanding what we had at one
(28:32):
point and how we took that for granted as a nation.
And I think if you look back, even at twenty
twenty two, we expected this big red wave right across
the nation and in all of these different elections, local elections,
state elections, and it just didn't happen. I think it's
because we became as conservatives, we became complacent. We thought
to ourselves we expected it, so therefore it was bound
(28:55):
to happen. But that's not what we saw. So I
think people now more than ever, are more amped up.
They're ready to create this new and exciting and much
needed urgent at that leadership in this country that can
put America back on track.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Riley, You're on the front lines, You're out there leading.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
What is it that people can do with four months
to go before the election to make positive change happen.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Every single one of us should dedicate ourselves to working
the hardest we have ever worked in our entire lives
at anything over these next four months. You hear it
all the time, it's said every election, right, this is
the election. It matters more than any other election in
our nation's history. But as a young person, myself being
(29:46):
only twenty just recently turned twenty four years old, what
I have seen in my life is this is the
most important election because again, like I said, this isn't
a battle of right versus wrong, Blue versus Red. It
really is moral versus evil. That is what we are
up against is evil. We're witnessing in real time the
(30:09):
planned and controlled destruction of America. And so what we
can do, first of all, of course, vote register other
people to vote, especially Christians. I think we've seen over
historically a very low portion of Christian voters actually get
out and vote. We need those votes. We need people
(30:31):
who are with a moral background, a sound understanding of
what's wrong with our nation getting out and voting. We
are not hopeless. We do have the power as the people,
and so I think that's all things that we can
do to again put someone back in the White House
who is America first. He definitely has a lot of
damage control to do once he gets back in in November,
(30:55):
but it is necessary for the prospering of our of
our great nation.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, well done, well said. Appreciate what you do out
there each and every day. And again her book Swimming
against the Current, Riley Gains. Thank you so much, Brian
Mudd in for Clay and Buck. So this isn't just
(31:23):
about winning an election. This is about generational change, I believe,
and I do think this cycle can be different. I
do think it's the first time since the eighties, the
first time since Reagan, that we have somebody who will
do what needs to be done to be that movement
kind of president. I do think that you also have
young voters that had their eyes that are open in
(31:47):
a way that is necessary to exact that kind of
effectual change. And yes, the President of the United States
appears have dementia and that is something different too. And yes,
the former and perhaps future president of the United States
has been criminally convicted for now likely to be overturned
(32:07):
on appeal, and that's also different. But one of the
things that we are seeing as this election comes together
is the type of opportunity that very rarely exist in
American politics, and it's really important that we run through it.
It's important that on the right we don't get over
confident and that we do everything we can every day
(32:30):
to make sure this happens. But then it's also important
that we follow through, and by the way, that means
down ballot, because one of the things that Trump really
lacked when he first took office leadership that was worthwhile
on the front end. And imagine if he had great
leadership in the House rather than Paul Ryan. Imagine if
he had terrific leadership in the Senate instead of Mitch
(32:51):
McConnell and they were ready to lead on policy, on
Trump's policy, how much different things would have been. Imagine
if we didn't have COVID right, we have that opportunity
this time around, if he has great leadership in the Senate,
great leadership in the House, with his ideas and the
turnaround that this country can see that is a generational
change that's kind of movement that is rare, and that's
(33:13):
what's been missing. Gen xers are actually the most conservative
generation of voters next to the Island generation, but didn't
happen by accident, and people could end up talking about
Trump the way that a generation of voters did with Reagan.
That's what we're going for this year. I'm Brian mudd
in for Clay and Buck.
Welcome to today's edition of The Klay, Travis and Buck
Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Once again a reminder our George Stephanopolis is sitting down
with President Biden today in an exclusive one on one interview,
the president's first television interview since that debate. The entire
interview will then air tonight at eight pm right here
on ABC.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Wow. What is ABC's Wit Johnson on the call setting
up this ever consequential interview that's going to take place tonight.
A couple of notes for you at Yon sat here.
Independence Day is one hundred and twenty three days away,
and should Joe stay or is George going to make
(00:42):
them go? George is going to make them go now,
you know, it's a fascinating moment in time we live in.
And happy Independence Day weekend to you. Obviously, this is
not Clay or Buck. I am Brian Mudd, and I
am more than thrilled to be able to assist the
guys while they enjoy an extended Independence Day holiday, which
(01:03):
I know a lot of folks are doing.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Appreciate you being here with me.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Today, and it is a highly consequential day, one where
Joe Biden's fate might be decided, and you think of
the grand scheme of a person's political career, and specifically
the president of the United States, his political career in
the hands of George Stephanopolis, think about how truly pathetic
(01:31):
in so many respects that really is that the king
maker now is George Stephanopolis. Yeah, so I mentioned that
Independence Day is one hundred and twenty three days away.
I mean yeah, I mean technically yesterday, so we were
talking about what about three hundred and sixty four before
(01:53):
we roll around to another one. But I mean, really,
how independent do you feel right now? How good you feel?
How free do you feel?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I mean, yeah, a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Of folks are taking the extended holiday weekend, but no,
with only twenty four percent of people feeling like the
country is heading in the right direction, don't exactly have
a lot of people that are feeling all that great
about things right And by the way, seriously, who are
those people you know you'll see twenty four percent approve
in the direction of the country. I mean, even the
(02:25):
leftist in your life. Do you know anybody who goes, yeah,
I mean like this is great, Like they take a
look at Joe Biden and think, you know what I
need in my life is more of that guy's sweet
political action.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Because I'm just saying it's amazing. I mean, who does that, right?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
So the twenty four percent of people who are like, yes,
let's keep doing this, I don't get it. But anyway,
for the greater than three quarters of Americans that do
get it, I haven't exactly felt like celebrating, or maybe
better say that you got a lot of folks that
just can't afford to celebrate. I mean, after all, you
(03:04):
got to be making twenty one percent more money today
to simply afford the same stuff that you bought four
years ago today. And here's the hint that you already
knew you are not. The average person is making eighteen
percent more today than four years ago. So yeah, I mean,
the odds are you are worse off than you were
(03:25):
four years ago today. And as I've always said, you
can lot of people about what policy will do, and
you're always going to have those that are going to
be inclined to believe you, right. I mean, if you
are someone who lines up behind a politician and politician lies,
he might be willing to believe that politician. But what
you can't do you can't lie to people about what
(03:47):
is or is and in the wallet because.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
They know there's not money there. There's no line that's
going to change that.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
And that is just the first and a long line
of examples of what we're unhappy about. You know, we
don't approve pretty much anything that this president chooses to do.
If you take a look at Biden's approval rating on
all of the issues, there's like nothing, there's nothing where
we look at him and go, yes, you've at least
gotten that one, right. If you take a look at
(04:16):
his approval rating on the economy overall average of the polls,
Real Clear Politics average economy, it's forty percent right now,
and it gets worse from there. Foreign policy thirty four percent,
the Israel Hamas war specifically thirty one percent, inflation thirty
five percent, crime thirty eight immigration thirty two. So, in
(04:37):
other words, pretty much everything everything that dementia Joe chooses
to do turns the poop, right, I mean, pretty much
everything he does is bad, which is pretty hard to
make happen. It's almost like, if you intentionally sought out
to be a really bad president, could you be more successful.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Than Joe Biden has been?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
In in that regard, and that takes me to independence,
say happening in one hundred and twenty three days, because
one hundred and twenty three days is election day, and
that is the day we can declare independence from endless
wars due to Biden's weakness, the day that we can
(05:20):
declare our independence from open borders and empty wallets. And yes,
I mean no slight to our country's holiday. No, no
slight to the declaration of independence. It is worth celebrating,
but every bit is important to celebrating its protecting it,
which you know, if we keep going the way we're going,
(05:43):
not so good. And then you got one hundred and
ninety nine days from today, not that I'm counting, but
we are now under two hundred days from the day
that's sanity. I'm like, like, literally, at this point, sanity
can be restored to the United States. That's inauguration Day.
That is, provided that each and every one of us
(06:04):
do everything that we can do to vote early and
to help turn out the vote. We're going to be
talking about that during the course of the show today
because it is all hands on deck for every one
of us for the next one hundred and twenty three days.
We cannot take anything for granted, regardless of who's running
for president. But yeah, speaking of which, and where we
(06:25):
started here at the onset, what will George do? He's
not King George, but he almost has the power of
King George historically at this point. So yeah, in the
grand scheme of things not going well, just let's say work,
for example, take your work for a moment. You know
(06:46):
things aren't going well at work if somebody comes to
you and they're on the level and they go, hey,
your boss over there, they have dementia. I mean, just
straight up you're asked if your boss has dementia. Probably
has never happened, right, But here we are, and if
(07:10):
you are White House Press Secretary Queen Jean Pierre, I
mean she has specifically, the question on Tuesday to KJP
by a White House correspondent was this, does President Biden
at eighty one years old, have Alzheimer's or any form
of dementia or degenerative illness that causes these sorts of lapses.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
And it's a yes or no question.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, just kind of you know, straight up typical question
that you're gonna lob to the White House Press Secretary.
I mean, this is the state of affairs to where like,
that's a totally legit question to be asking. And her
answer was this, she said, are you ready for it?
And it was like a one Mississippi right there, because
we're like one Mississippi. When she says are.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You ready for it?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I'm like, yeah, you geta level with us. And then
she came back and said, it's a no. It's a no.
And I hope that you're asking the other guy the
same exact question, which, by the way, I also hope happens,
because I mean, make no mistake, there is entertainment to
be had by a reporter walking up to Trump and saying, hey,
(08:15):
mister President, so kareem. Jean Pierre says, Joe Biden doesn't
have dementia, but she thought I should ask you if
you do. I mean, what do you think the answer
to that one is? I mean, possibilities regarding his response
endless and probably quite entertaining. But what isn't so entertaining.
(08:38):
It is just what a laughing stock this country currently is.
You know, take a look at Independence Day. I take
a look at you know, are standing on the world stage.
We have all these wars and all this conflict that
has been playing out. Why because Joe Biden is weak.
As simple as that, none of it happens if Joe
(08:58):
Biden isn't president of the United States. The collapse of
Afghanistan didn't happen the way it did. Putin never invades Ukraine.
There's no way that you would have had Hamas that
would have been comfortable carrying out the attack on Israel
because you know what Trump would have done. Just every
(09:20):
time you turn around, the weakness has manifested itself in
ways that make the entire world lass safe. Every day
that Joe Biden as President of the United States, we're
less safe in our own communities. The world is less safe. Yeah,
it's not entertaining. When you think about Shijing Ping, when
you think about Vladimir Putin, you think about the mulas
(09:41):
and Ran, when you think about Lilla racket man. You
know I was thinking about this. You think about Kim
Jong un, you think about Lullar racket man. Who's the
more sane seeming right now, like you know, who's of
sounder mind at this point, Kim Jong un or President
of Binen. I mean that that can't be good that
we're possibly having that conversation either. So yeah, I mean, look,
(10:05):
they're all watching Joe, They're all calculating next moves based
on his incompetence. So yeah, what isn't funny is that
if dementia Joe can no longer go, what's behind door
number two isn't exactly any better?
Speaker 1 (10:18):
And she cackles.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
And by the way, make no mistake, if Joe's and
no go all roads to the Democrat nomination they go
through James Clyburn and Kamala Harris. I mean those that
think that she could just simply be slipped aside for
I don't know, like the gret who stole Christmas, you know,
by locking down Michigan during the pandemic then fleeing the Florida.
I don't think they've been paying enough attention. And by
(10:40):
the way, just on that note, there's only been one poll,
as a Democrat internal poll that came out at the
end of last week after the debate, head ahead with Trump.
Trump was ahead of all of the door number three options,
you know, the ones behind the vice president. But I
get the significance of the Gret in Michigan, Michigan a
(11:01):
critical state. But if people actually got to know her.
I'm not sure that necessarily I portends good things for
her anyway. But I'll also speak a little bit later
in the show about what happens in broker conventions and
white is that we haven't had one in either party
in a really long time.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Here's the hint.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Tends not to work out too well for the party
that is traveling down that path.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
See you take a look at all this.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Has there ever been a greater indication this Independence Day
weekend that we need to make America great again than
all of this? And again, what does this say about
the leader of the semi free world that people are
waiting with baited breath to see Democrat hack operative? George
Stefanopolis played the role of Caesar And so, yeah, should
(11:50):
Joe go or should he stay?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Now?
Speaker 3 (11:52):
So about this, you know you're a week president when
George Stefanopolis holds the keys at this point, people know
if Joe will drop out, two people you should probably ask.
The first would be the doctor, the doctor without a doctor,
and even Jill Biden because she clearly enjoys being president
(12:14):
of the United States. You know a lot of people wondered, Hey,
who is it that actually runs the show. You know
you've had the thoughts about, hey, it might still be
the Big Oh, or maybe you know in Obama proxy
like Susan Rice. Just take a look at what's happened
since the debate. Jill Biden clearly loves being President of
the United States. The second person you should ask is
George Stefanopolis today. Will Biden get the thumbs up meaning
(12:37):
that Stephanopolis is prepared to help carry Biden across the
November fifth finish line, or is again the thumbs down
meaning that George asks real questions, he demands real answers,
that he doesn't edit Joe's blank stares, his coughs, or
the mumbles out of the interview. Here's one thing you
can count on from President Biden's interview with Stephanopolis today.
(13:00):
You're gonna have the answer to that question today. Originally
ABC News, they said they were going to air the
first nippet of today's interview at six point thirty on
World New News tonight with David Muir Hymn of Good Hair,
with the full interview that was going to air Sunday
morning on This Week with George steph Knopolis. So Wednesday
(13:21):
night you had ABC that saying, you know what, Actually,
we're gonna go ahead and do a primetime special Friday
night at eight.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
They're going to do the whole thing eight o'clock tonight.
And maybe that's just the ratings play. Maybe they thought
there's more opportunity to go ahead and just let it
happen tonight, or maybe there is something more strategically interesting
and faulved with him. And on the one hand, who
would ever want to spend a Friday night on a
holiday weekend watching Joe Biden? On the other hand, what
(13:51):
is it that you could possibly do tonight that would
be more potentially entertaining? So yeah, should Joe stay or
should go?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Now?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
So just as the Clash sang the song, you have
Stephanopolis that holds the script. So you can get your
popcorn ready and let the festivities roll tonight. I'm Brian
mudd In for clayon Buck. Okay, he there, it is
(14:22):
Brian mudd In for Clay and Buck host the e
Brian mud Show. I've done to my home station w
j and O in West Palm Beach and can check
out the Brian mud Show podcast where you get your
podcasts at Brian Mudd Radio socially, and one of the
things that I am looking for this election cycle isn't
(14:43):
just a win, It is generational political change.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Generational political change.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
So one of the biggest questions as we enter the
final four months of this election cycle, can we see
a Stewart shift in the American electorate one of the
biggest complaints by conservatives for a long time. Now, yeah,
we occasionally win elections. By whatever happens, the net effect
(15:16):
is like only temporarily pausing the insanity, right, It just
it slows down the progressivism they marked the march to Marxism.
You know, for example, you think back, it was only
sixteen years ago that Barack Obama ran a campaign that
was opposed to same sex marriage. And look what we
(15:37):
have today today We have dudes who look like ladies
competing athletically as girls and tax payer funded child mutilations
taking place. I mean, that's inside of sixteen years. And
by the way, Obama was even on the record as
early as recently as twenty ten say yeah, I'm still
opposed to same sex marriage. And now take a look
at where we are. So the question is not can
(16:00):
we win an election this year? The question is, can
we change hearts and minds and ultimately end up changing
a whole generation of voters.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
I think the answer is yes.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I think we have an opportunity that we haven't had
since Reagan, and I want to dive into that a
bit more.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
So.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
We're going to be teeing up the generational opportunity that
is in front of us.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And as part.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Of that conversation, we're going to be teeing it up
with Rightley Gaines. She's going to be joining us a
next somebody who knows a thing or two about winning
over hearts and minds and fighting the battles that need
to be fought.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Be right back, Fry mud In for playing buck there.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
You people are a bunch of mind numb robots to
the drive by media. You are incapable of thinking on
your own. You are your public opinions are nothing but
the result of whoever it is influencing you, Me, Fox News, whoever.
You're incapable of independent thought, critical thought. What happened.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
All this does.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Is show how these hacks fail to understand the bond
that exists between a candidate and his audience or voters.
Let me, let me give you one little hint, media,
Donald Trump cannot be hurt by something he does not say.
Donald Trump nor any other candidate cannot be hurt by
(17:36):
something he does not do. For you people in the
media and in the Republican establishment, to voote for you
people waiting for Trump to blow it, waiting for Trump to.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Step in it, whatever you think is going to happen.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
It's typical and traditional from people who think their job
is to take people out. And that's what the media
thinks their job with us is is to take us out.
The only way Trump's going to be taken out as
if somebody comes along and is better. The media didn't
make Trump so little hint you immediate people, you can't
take him out.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah, so timeless wards a wisdom from Rush. I was
thinking about that as we are watching today, what will
be with the George Stephanopolis interview where you literally have
Stephanopolos playing the role of like King George or Caesar,
where it's going to be a thumbs up or a
thumbs down, where if he wants to take out the
President of the United States today, he probably can if
(18:32):
in his interview with Biden he presses him, if he
asks him real questions. If there's not editing to protect
Biden and his responses, he very well might be able
to push him off the cliff today get him out
of this race. Interesting that ABC has bumped up that
interview to eight o'clock tonight prime time rather than rolling
(18:53):
it out on Sunday morning. So we'll see what Stephanopolis decides.
But you think about it, Rush talking about the bond
with Trump and his voters because it was organic media
had nothing to do with Donald Trump rising to political prominence.
It was all about him and the bond with us
after more than fifty years as a politician, and he's
(19:18):
currently the president of the United States. We're talking about
George stinking Stephanopolis maybe deciding Joe Biden's political future. Just
think about the diconomy there. It really is something remarkable.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Now.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Brian Mudd in for Claim Buck today and speaking of diconomy, now,
I mentioned just before the break one of the things
that has bugged a lot of us on the right
for a long time is that even when we win elections,
all it does is slowed down the insanity. It's like
hitting the pause button on the insanity. Now, I use
(19:53):
the example of you go back sixteen years ago, Obama
ran on being opposed as same sex marriage, and now
we have dudes who look like ladies competing athletically as girls,
and tax payer funded child mutilations.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
I mean, it's just.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It's insane as soon as the progressives have an opportunity.
But this time there's something different. We have the opportunity
for political change this time around, and the first place
that starts is in opening up the eyes of people
who previously were not necessarily as receptive to information. There's
always been this truism in American politics. You tend to
(20:30):
be as left as you're going to be when you're young,
and you tend to get a little bit more conservative
as you actually get a job and you go out
on your own and you realize, oh, shoot, that's how
much stuff costs, and oh I have to pay taxes,
and that's how much they're I mean, that tends to
make people more conservative, and in addition to traditional family formation.
(20:52):
That's why it's so interesting that we continue to see
that the youngest voters are those that are the most
unhappy with Joe Biden. The youngest voters are those that
are the least likely to want to vote for him,
for him of any generation right now, that is an opportunity,
and we've seen consistently and pulling that it's basically a
(21:14):
horse race with voters eighteen to thirty four between Trump
and Biden. It's in some cases we'll see poles, we're
under thirty Trump leads. I've never in political analysis seen
something like this. Somebody wanted to bring in. Who understands
and is on kind of like the cutting edge of
all of this is Riley Gaines Barker, who of course
is the host of Outkicks Gains for Girls podcasts, also
(21:38):
the author of Swimming Against the Current, Fighting for common
Sense in a world that's lost its mind? Isn't that
the truth? Riley, thank you for taking the time with us.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Well, Brian, thank you so much for having me on you.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Bet so, tell me a little bit about what you're
seeing right now. You're in the middle of all of
the insanity regularly because you've been trying to fight these battles.
Are you seeing progress being made as we're four months
out before the election.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Definitely, I think there's lots of progress being made, lots
of impact being had. There's no doubt about that. To
address your point, you know, specifically about younger voters here
being a recent college graduate myself speaking on I think
last semester, I spoke on twenty five different college campuses,
campuses ranging from smaller private Christian schools like Truet, McConnell
(22:29):
or College of the Ozarks, and of course everything in
between until like cal Berkeley, Princeton, Harvard and what we
are seeing on college campuses and really what the nation,
what the world got to see after what happened in
the Middle East after October seventh, we have seen what
these institutions have created. To your point, I mean, I
(22:50):
think you hit the nail on the head and saying
that younger voters, especially younger women females, we are our
own worst enemy. But I will say to that point,
I think there's a lot more people like me than
the media. Let's on people who are sane. I mean,
that's really what it boils down to. It's a kind
(23:12):
of this battle of crazy versus normal. There are a
lot more normal, level headed, reasonable people out there than
what we think. But in terms of impact as a whole,
what we're seeing across this nation, Look, twenty six states
are now suing the Biden administration for their illegal administrative
rerighte of Title nine. I don't think we would have
seen that two years ago. Now we've seen over ten
states have some sort of preliminary injunction introduced so they
(23:35):
do not have to comply to this rewrite this new
proposal when it takes effect on August first, twenty four
states have some sort of fairness in women's sports bill. Again,
I don't think WEEO would have seen that two years ago.
Even the way people are talking about these issues, I
think we've reached a point where people are willing to say, look,
that's a man, like that's a naked man at that
(23:57):
The parable of the Emperor wears no clothes could not
be more true than it is at this blip in
time in America.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Yeah, I mean some things are complicated issues man versus woman,
the biological differences there not really not really all that complicated,
which just speaks to the level of insanity in so
many respects encouraging what you're saying. And you know, Riley,
one of the things that I've been thinking about, you know,
all joke that like Michael J.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Fox was acting, but I really was. Alex P.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Keaton, you know, as a gen xer, as a child
of the eighties, being in that era, having Ronald Reagan
as president, how good things were.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
It's shaped an entire generation. But on the right, there really.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Hasn't been anything that has come along to create that
yet again, the kind of generational change that is needed
to maybe you know, turn around what we're talking about here.
And I actually believe that had it not been for COVID,
Trump wins reelection and we probably would have had that opportunity,
(25:04):
we might be there right now already. But I definitely
think the opportunity exists because, among other things, are the
policies of the Biden administration, the policies of the progressive left.
They tend to hurt the youngest voters, the youngest people
the most. And as you're talking about, you know, whether
it's athletically or otherwise, are you starting to see that
(25:26):
understood as you have younger adults in or the real
world and go, hold on, you know, I'm really being
screwed here.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
I think so. And again, it's not necessarily a result
of Unfortunately, it's not necessarily a result of prosperous things
that are happening in this nation. Unfortunately, it is the
result of disastrous things happening to this nation. I think
people understand more clearly now from a global perspective what's
been going on with this world. We have a president
(25:55):
in the White House right now who is not America first,
he's an America last, he's a globalist. Actually at that he
wants open borders, not secure borders. We have a president
in the White House who cannot, actually I think he can,
who refuses to acknowledge that differences even exist between men
and women. Actually, what he has done is say that
(26:16):
we're the same man, woman, female, male, mother, father, boy, girl, sex, gender, identity,
it's all interchangeable. Actually, it's synonymous. And when you are
willing to go that far, people see it. People understand.
They understand that Joe Biden's credibility has been compromised entirely
on every topic. If you cannot say men and women
(26:37):
are different, how in the world do you expect us,
regardless of age, regardless of any identity factor, regardless of
if you're white, you're black, you're old, you're young, forget it.
How do you expect us as American people to believe
a single word that comes out of your mouth on
any topic.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
That's a really good point. And when you talk about credibility,
I do think that's a big part of it. And
with a lot of younger adults too, to where authenticity matters.
How do you see that plane Because obviously you know
the Biden administration, I thinks authenticity in so many different respects.
(27:16):
But in terms of policies seeing through that, are they
now taking a look at Trump and in maybe realizing
what they've been missing?
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I think so. Regardless of how you feel about Trump
or his policies, this is a person who has character.
This is a person who is relatable in the way
that look, he's not a politician, and I think that's
I think that's what the American people want for so long.
And look, I'm in DC right now. I've spent a
pretty ample amount of time in the nation's capital over
(27:48):
these past two years. It truly is the swamp. I've
seen the corruption firsthand. I've seen the deceit and the
lies and the manipulation certainly on both sides. But what
Trump is is just about as real as it gets.
There's no sugarcoating. You never have to wonder what he's
thinking because guess what he will tell you, And it's
kind of him in trouble in the past.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
People talk about the mean tweets, Well, guess what is
so much worse than mean tweets. It is what we
are seeing happening to this nation. It's what we saw
in Philadelphia last night, the burning of American flags. It's
pornography in schools that is so much worse than the
mean tweets. It's the inflation that we're seeing. And so look,
I think people they're understanding what we had at one
(28:32):
point and how we took that for granted as a nation.
And I think if you look back, even at twenty
twenty two, we expected this big red wave right across
the nation and in all of these different elections, local elections,
state elections, and it just didn't happen. I think it's
because we became as conservatives, we became complacent. We thought
to ourselves we expected it, so therefore it was bound
(28:55):
to happen. But that's not what we saw. So I
think people now more than ever, are more amped up.
They're ready to create this new and exciting and much
needed urgent at that leadership in this country that can
put America back on track.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Riley, You're on the front lines, You're out there leading.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
What is it that people can do with four months
to go before the election to make positive change happen.
Speaker 4 (29:24):
Every single one of us should dedicate ourselves to working
the hardest we have ever worked in our entire lives
at anything over these next four months. You hear it
all the time, it's said every election, right, this is
the election. It matters more than any other election in
our nation's history. But as a young person, myself being
(29:46):
only twenty just recently turned twenty four years old, what
I have seen in my life is this is the
most important election because again, like I said, this isn't
a battle of right versus wrong, Blue versus Red. It
really is moral versus evil. That is what we are
up against is evil. We're witnessing in real time the
(30:09):
planned and controlled destruction of America. And so what we
can do, first of all, of course, vote register other
people to vote, especially Christians. I think we've seen over
historically a very low portion of Christian voters actually get
out and vote. We need those votes. We need people
(30:31):
who are with a moral background, a sound understanding of
what's wrong with our nation getting out and voting. We
are not hopeless. We do have the power as the people,
and so I think that's all things that we can
do to again put someone back in the White House
who is America first. He definitely has a lot of
damage control to do once he gets back in in November,
(30:55):
but it is necessary for the prospering of our of
our great nation.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, well done, well said. Appreciate what you do out
there each and every day. And again her book Swimming
against the Current, Riley Gains. Thank you so much, Brian
Mudd in for Clay and Buck. So this isn't just
(31:23):
about winning an election. This is about generational change, I believe,
and I do think this cycle can be different. I
do think it's the first time since the eighties, the
first time since Reagan, that we have somebody who will
do what needs to be done to be that movement
kind of president. I do think that you also have
young voters that had their eyes that are open in
(31:47):
a way that is necessary to exact that kind of
effectual change. And yes, the President of the United States
appears have dementia and that is something different too. And yes,
the former and perhaps future president of the United States
has been criminally convicted for now likely to be overturned
(32:07):
on appeal, and that's also different. But one of the
things that we are seeing as this election comes together
is the type of opportunity that very rarely exist in
American politics, and it's really important that we run through it.
It's important that on the right we don't get over
confident and that we do everything we can every day
(32:30):
to make sure this happens. But then it's also important
that we follow through, and by the way, that means
down ballot, because one of the things that Trump really
lacked when he first took office leadership that was worthwhile
on the front end. And imagine if he had great
leadership in the House rather than Paul Ryan. Imagine if
he had terrific leadership in the Senate instead of Mitch
(32:51):
McConnell and they were ready to lead on policy, on
Trump's policy, how much different things would have been. Imagine
if we didn't have COVID right, we have that opportunity
this time around, if he has great leadership in the Senate,
great leadership in the House, with his ideas and the
turnaround that this country can see that is a generational
change that's kind of movement that is rare, and that's
(33:13):
what's been missing. Gen xers are actually the most conservative
generation of voters next to the Island generation, but didn't
happen by accident, and people could end up talking about
Trump the way that a generation of voters did with Reagan.
That's what we're going for this year. I'm Brian mudd
in for Clay and Buck.
