Welcome in final hour of the week. I am Claytor Abyssi is Bucks Sexton. We are rolling

into the weekend. We'll be off on July 4th as many of you will be. We back with you on

Tuesday. Appreciate all of you spending your time with us. We would encourage you. Now is a good time. If you're going to be on the

road, maybe building a vacation around the July 4th holiday, you can go ahead and sign up for the

podcast. Get it sent right to your phone. Boom. It's easy to be able to listen no matter where you are. Search out my name, Clay Travis. Search out Bucks Sexton. Boom. You are well on your way to be

enabled to keep up with the show no matter where you might find yourself this summer or beyond. Where we find ourselves, unfortunately, is as we enter July, we have just posted the worst first six months of the

S&P 500 stock market since 1970. 52 year worst story for Joe Biden. Even worse than the 8.6% inflation, which is at 40 year highs, everything that Joe Biden touches is falling apart quite simply. And Biden

advisor Brian Deese, well, he said Americans just need to be reminded of how well things are actually going. Listen to this argument that doesn't really register at all.

But these are on certain times when prices are high, people are understandably frustrated when they're pulling up at the gas pump. And that is that's understandable. And at the same time, it is our job.

And it's the presence from conviction that what he can do as president is to take every responsible action that he has. And we have and also remind the American people that even as we go through this challenging period, even

move through this transition, we also have made historic economic progress. And that's not to suggest that people shouldn't feel the anxiety that they feel of course they they do.

And also as we break this down, David Axelrod, who obviously was instrumental in Obama's election, he said and he knows Joe Biden well since obviously he worked alongside of Biden as well as the then vice president.

There's a sense and there's this definite sense that Biden's not in control of what's going on in the country. You think when David Axelrod is saying it buckets more and more evidence that they're trying to push Joe Biden out as the top of the ticket in 2024, but listen to Axelrod.

There is this sense that things are kind of out of control and he's not in command and this and this lens, you know, lens to that, you know, inflation is no one president could control inflation, but it is a, you know, it's a gale force wind right now.

It's affecting politics very hard to come, you know, you heard him on gas prices today, talks about the gas tax holiday, but he's not going to get the gas tax held in there. A lot of Americans who are skeptical about whether that would that would help.

So there, you know, this is a very, very freighted, a fraught environment for him right now.

So here's the thing, Buck, we're all excited to celebrate July 4th. I was thinking about this yesterday as I was sort of thinking about past July 4th.

Can you remember a time when America has felt weaker to you than it does right now?

Not that we're anti-America certainly, but just as a country, can you remember a time in your life where it's July 4th and you feel like we're in a weaker position than we are right now? Cause frankly, I can't.

And objectively, we're in a rough spot right now, but I like to think long term, and I don't mean long term like the next 50 years. I mean long term the next couple of years, things are going to turn around.

I said at the start of the show, I had believed there was a real possibility that just by existing, the Biden regime would be lifted up by the normal recovery from a pandemic.

That's what I was all expected, I think. Lockdowns, none of that ever needed to happen.
