Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show podcast.

One of the problems that you see with Biden and the policies that he has both pursued and is currently shifting toward is he has a lunatic left-wing

dominated party it's no longer the fringe as I say they're the Vanguard. They're the center and the front line troops of the Democrat movement. They've gone insane. You know, the people that are obsessed with pronouns and the people that want all the statues torn down and the people

that think that cops are bad and you know the open borders are good and you go down this list

and Biden needs them he needs them mobilize for him and so you have some of these transactional

decisions that if you actually believed what Joe Biden was saying back in 2020 it would be a huge shock to you you know I'm a

uniter and I'm a moderate and good old Uncle Joe and all this stuff it's all nonsense

or grandpa Joe nonsense and clay the latest example of this, I mean, the border, the reason the Democrats

have the problems they do at the border now.

And again, they chose this. It's not a surprise, but the reason they made these decisions is twofold one the left

wing of the Democrat Party or the left-wing Democrat Party feels that America

should be transformed and that we have a duty to take in as many people from all

over the world who come here illegally as want to. So there's a belief component of it and there's also just the cold hard politics of changing the electorate and having more people who are going to be dependent on the state because state dependency in much of the rest of the world is what people seek.

Unfortunately, America with its notions of independence.

I know we have a larger welfare state here than we should or

than many of us want to have, but the notions of independence are unique to this country.

I mean you don't you don't even see it in other countries this idea that the government

has to back off and leave us alone everywhere else they're just figuring out how they can

run up bigger and bigger public debt

to build a more massive welfare state until it completely collapses their economy into

dust.

There's a lesson there.
