Hour 3 - Biden’s Legacy

Who is the leader of the Democrat Party? Void in Democrat leadership. Rachel Maddow rebranding herself. Biden delivers one of his final foreign policy speeches. Biden is Jimmy Carter without the post-presidency. Breaking news on the hostages. Congrats, Will Cain!

The third hour of Clay and Buck kicks off now everybody, and it's the last week of the Biden administration. So we got that going for us, which is nice. Joe Biden still technically the president of the United States for a few more days. Doesn't really feel like he's been president for quite some time. But this is where we are, and Biden is going to be giving a speech here, I believe, focusing on foreign policy, shortly going to talk about the way forward. One of the remarkable things about Joe Biden is that he has a record of being really catastrophically wrong on foreign policy issues. As a president. He has a record and vice president under the Obama administration of catastrophic foreign policy decisions, things that he pushed forward directly himself, or that he supposedly decided himself, although I think it's always the advisors, but that's supposed to be his strong suit. I think that tells you a lot about Joe Biden, that the area of his greatest competency is actually an area of tremendous weakness if you listen to anybody who is honest and has been paying attention throughout his career. But Clay, this also leaves a lot of open territory right now for the Democrats. I think, given the wildfires in California continuing to create devastation across a wide swath of Los Angeles, and the fact that Gavin Newsom is running as he's doing a lot of pr damage control for his stewardship of that state along with Karen Bass, It's not a moment where you would think that Gavin Newsom is a top contender for the leadership of the Democrat Party. He certainly is looking a little weak in the moment at least. And it's interesting to me that Peter Doucey news in the closing week of Carrige Jean Pierre's tenure as White House Press Secretary, asks her who is the leader of the Democrat Party between next Monday, when Trump takes office and the next the next presidential election cycle. Here's just what she had to say in response, is play twenty eight between next Monday and twenty twenty eight, who's the leader of the Democrat Party? Goodness wow?

That is honestly, that is for people much smarter than I to make that assessment that decision. Obviously, voters will decide that is not something for me to decide. I could say, right now in this moment in this room, as I'm looking at the clock as it's counting down because we have to leave shortly. You have the president, President Joe Biden, who is obviously the president and the leader of the Democratic Party. I cannot predict the future. So that is not something that I'm going to do from here.

So no, leader of Department. That's not what I said, full time President. I'm regretting this right now. That's not what I said.

I said that I am. You asked me about what's the twenty twenty eight is going to look like between now and twenty twenty eight. I can't or post post obviously this president's tenure does That's not for me to decide. That's not for me to speak.

To Clay now. I actually think that it isn't for her necessarily way in right, I think that it's Peter Doucy having a little fun in the last week here, but pointing out a question that I think has to not only be on the minds of Republicans but Democrats as well. Who is the leader of the resistance to Trump? Right now? You know, there used to be this whole, this whole team, this whole bench of people that were vying for the leader of the hashtag resistance against Trump, and now it feels like it's all just been put on pause. It's it's been sent into remission. I don't know, it's I've never seen a Democrat party so leaderless in my adult lifetime as it seems to be right now.

I think Gavin Newsom wanted to be that Trump alternative, and honestly, the LA wildfires have to a large extent crippled him politically, and I don't think that's gonna happen. My expectation is that it's going to be Gretchen Witmer, and I know some of you out there are thinking it's crazy, but she can't run for reelection again. Josh Shapiro can, and when he gets re elected, I think there'll be some DeSantis like momentum, presuming that he is reelected. I think Bucky would get reelected in twenty six, which would be a natural jumping off point for his political movement then to move national, But I don't think there's a national figure. Keem Jefferies is not particularly charismatic or well spoken enough to me to be a compelling national figure. Chuck Schumer certainly is not in the Senate as the minority leader. Sometimes that's the person who's in opposition. I think there's a huge void of leadership. Kamala Harris is not because she's never been a particularly well spoken advocate for the Democrat side. And I do think California Democrats are going to have a tough time because this fire in la is going to be seen as an indictment of their leadership, even if they're national. And let me mention this two buck because you just play that audio, are you gonna miss a little bit the Peter Doucy Corene Jean Pierre interactions. I mean, we've had basically four years of sharing those clips because Peter Deucy has been one of the few media members who would actually ask questions of Karine Jean Pierre that were something other than on a scale of awesomeness, How awesome would you say Joe Biden and his administration have done, which is the default White House Press Corps questioning in general, with the exception after June twenty seventh. Obviously that changed when suddenly everybody had teeth after the debate performance. But Peter Deucey is going to be, I imagine, having way less fun in a Trump White House briefing room than he has with Karine Jean Pierre. And a part of me thinks Karine Jean Pierre, even in that interaction, likes Peter Deucy, like you know, even though they obviously are have gone at it quite a lot. And I think Karine Jean Pierre has lost almost He's got like an O and six hundred and forty two record against Peter Deucy questions. I do think that even she's going to miss that a little bit. Well, there's a degree of theatricality in the in these West Wing press corps exchange.

Both of them are performing in some West right.

It's not yeah, it's televised, it's a it's a it's a shadow boxing.

Our friend Caroline Levitt, though, is going to be taking over that role for the Trump administration, and I would think that there would be a degree of theatrics there. But to start off with, I don't know. I think that a lot of these I think a lot of the journals out there, the people that really insist that they're still the quote mainstream and unbiased or nonpartisan journalists. I think that they realized that that whole brand is shakier than it has been in a very long time. When even Bezos at the Washington Post, you know, with his Washington Post says, guys, we need to stop being so crazy. So I don't know that they're going to go after the White House Press secretary with the same ferocity that say they initially did in twenty sixteen when Trump's team were in twenty seventeen, rather when Trump's team took over, you know, I think that they may ease into it a little more. Again, we'll see where this goes with deportations. I still believe that as those ramp up, that's going to become a centerpiece of the of the resistance to Trump such as such as it will be uh. But yeah, I I think also, I know you've you've mentioned this, Clay Di Biden UH State Departments, his his farewell UH address at the State Department. UH is going to be defending his foreign policy legacy. Has its Has it kicked off yet? I don't think it started yet. Has it? We're on the air as this is going not yet. Yeah, he's a little late. It was supposed to start around too. But it's Biden. So they got to wake him up. They got to get him some apple juice. They got to probably give him a shot of something to get him, you know, get his eyes open and look with some clarity. So he's going to give a speech, but they are hopefully going to be announcing a pretty major breakthrough with the release of hostages from Hamas uh. That is the expected The expectation, right, is that that's what's going to be announced in this speech, some some degree of hostage swap uh and or a hostage trade. And I think that that's Biden's attempting. Look, we want all the hostages free, we want the hostages home. So good news is good news no matter what. Of course, it's tragic that it's so few hostages. It should have been all of them. It should have been done a long time ago. But I think that it's an incredibly meek and almost chastened Biden Whitehouse that is handing over the reins here. They're really desperate for some kind of legacy to latch onto. That's something that they can say, look what we did, and look what we have to be proud of. I think it's you know, what I mean. I think it's a remarkably weak record that they're trying to trying to, you know, doll up a bit here in the final stages, and it just goes to the overall Democrat lack of leadership, lack of message. I've never seen the Democrat Party as a brand and look as depressed as it does right now. And I know that it's temporary. I'm not deluding myself into thing this is going to last forever. It's not.

But right now they're at a nator good word. Look, I do think you also have to give a lot of credit. Again, we're getting a little bit ahead of this speech, but there are reports that they are going to be somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty some odd hostages that are going to be released in Gaza by Hamas Trump saying that there's going to be hell to pay if these hostages were not released before he came into office. Buck, I think is actually the impetus to the extent that we get a result behind that, because I think much of the Middle East fears Trump in the wake of his assassination of Solomony, and there's talk already about hey, what's going to happen with Iran going forward. Hezbola, you have a ceasefire in the North, now do you get one with Hamas. I think that Trump's victory has created negotiating power for Israel. And I know this because the Israelis told it to me when I was over there last month in December. They said that Trump's election fundamentally altered that the hostage negotiations because there was an understanding that you're not going to get Kamala Harris, who's trying to Playkate the left of her base that just doesn't frankly care that much about what happens to Jews, that Trump was going to come in and recavoc if necessary.

There's something very clear here, and it's something that all of MAGA and Trump voters can be quite proud of, which is that there is no pro Hamas wing of Trump voting world. This is not a thing, doesn't exist. There's no contingent that Trump is trying to play Kate on the right that thinks that Hamas is a glorious resistance to tear the organization or something right. That is a thing on the left. As we all know, it was a big problem for the Democrats in this last election cycle. We saw it with the protests on college campuses. There is a pro Hamas wing of the Democrat Party and that's gone now. So anything that the US can and would do going forward to put greater to really support Israel and you know, allow Israel to do what it needs to do. Hamas knows that that's happening now. So there's a new sheriff in town and his name is Donald Trump.

Well, not only that, remember the Hitler taught We got some funny clips for you about Democrats freaking out about Barack Obama interacting with Trump because he's Hitler. Still in their mind, Remember that Trump would have won Israel if Israel were voting as a United States state by a margin similar to what he won West Virginia and Wyoming by I mean we're talking about like seventy thirty if Israeli's were voting for who the next United States president should be. Which is why the whole idea of oh, this guy's Hitler, Like, I don't think Hitler's that popular at Israel. Just going to toss that out there, he would have won. Trump would have on the same level as he won the most Trumpian states in the United States, and it's like no one ever wants to even talk about that, but it's pretty consequential. And again, I think if we get that news, I think Trump deserves a lot of credit for it with his hell to Pay commentary.

You know, if you're in the markets, people are very uncertain about what's going to happen this year and what they should do going forward to try to get some yield, to try to make smart decisions. And that's why you've got to find people that have research at their disposal, that have tools that they've created to help in this regard. That's where Mark Chakin comes in.

Buck.

You asked who is the leader of the Democrat Party right now? And I think the easy answer is there isn't one, certainly not in the House or the Senate. I think you would have to go down to a state figure, which is why I came back to Gretchen Whitmer. I think Gavin Newsom was trying to brand himself as the anti Trump with the way that he had undertaken Trump proofing the California economy and.

The laws that they had passed.

But I think anyone in California politically, it's going to be almost impossible for them to have any national standing when they can't put out fires in their backyard in Los Angeles.

But I do think.

They're trying to brand someone as the king or queen, as it may be, of the Trump resistance. In media, Rachel Maddow MSNBC's audience has completely collapsed. Fox News now has something like seventy percent roughly of the overall news viewership, as both CNN and MSNBC have lost all their audience. Did you see our good friend Rachel Maddow, she of the Monday Only Show and twenty five or thirty million dollars a year paycheck, is now going to return to anchor her show for the first one hundred days of the Trump administration. If you were wondering how the media would gear up, there hasn't really been any resistance or opposition. You and I will get up to DC on Friday, but I haven't even heard of any major protests that they're trying to put in place for the Trump inauguration so far. Mattow is going to try to rebrand herself as the anti Trump zealot that made her a lot of money in twenty sixteen.

I wonder how she'll position this, though, I think that there's this The difference here is they said that Trump was hitler and then he got reelected. Do you know, it's a whole The popular vote didn't just win.

It's why I think the popular vote matters so much. This felt like a sweeping victory. And it also has to feel something like.

A rejection of the legacy corporate media's ability to direct elections the way that they had been able to get away with in the past. Something. It's very different now we're in a very different environment. I think the existence of X as well as you know, Rumble and you know truth and these other places for the narrative or counter narratives to get out make a major difference. I think Rachel Maddow, look, I don't know what the finances are of that show. My guess is she's wildly overpaid at thirty million dollars a year. She would not make thirty million dollars a year if MSNBC wasn't signing her checks. So I don't think that it's justifiable based on the audience size that they have over there. I don't you know, usually, Clay, I can see what the next steps are going to be for the other side. I still think they're in disarray. I think they're licking their wounds in the Democrat Party, media and politics. I don't know what they're gonna do. You know, when a cyber hacker get it's your information, they can open accounts or borrow money in your name without you knowing. It can also ruin your credit score.

You got President I almost President Biden almost there not trying to get ahead of things.

Thankfully, I'm one week thankfully seven days.

Yeah, one one week left here Biden soon to be ex President Biden giving a speech right now where he is touting his foreign policy accomplishments. Twenty three of thirty two NATO allies spending two percent on defense. So okay, I bet of the what's my math here? Of the nine that aren't, I bet there's some of the bigger ones. But put that aside. Nobody, no one's really all that focused in on this. But here's what I will say. Gosh, I was going to say in Biden's defense. I can't believe I'm gonna say that out loud, but I am Clay. You know, we keep it real here. I think that Joe Biden, getting up in front of the camera right now, giving this closing speech at the State Department in his last week as president, I think that he still feels very much vindicated by in a sense, by the the loss that Kamala had I think he views himself as a winner still, even though he got pushed out by his own party. I think that he views his legacy as one to zero against Trump, and you know, if he had been in there. Again, I'm speaking from the Biden perspective, but you could see this guy up there into the degree that he looks not particularly vacant and present. I think that Biden feels like his legacy is in much better shape than say, Kamala Harris is at this stage, and it's in better shape than it would have been for him had he lost the big bout. So you know, this is probably an overly charitable view of Biden, but again, from his perspective, he's not the guy that got annihilated in the general election and led to this current state where it's really a leaderless Democrat party. I think he believes again this is my Biden interpretation, Clay. I think he believes that history will look bite I'm talking about from the Democrat perspective, will look more kindly on him in this election cycle, and it will look more and more to people like they should have back Biden all along. I'm just this is where I think his mind is as he's closing the books here, I think so.

I always like to say it's hard to predict recent future history, meaning we got a lot right looking at twenty twenty four, it's very hard to predict. Hey, forty years from now, sixty hundred years from now, how will people look back on the Biden presidency? With that in mind, here's why I think he's actually going to continue to look worse and worse. What did Biden that in retrospect could look really smart. I'll give you an example.

George W. Bush.

I think, personally, this is my personal opinion, utterly failed in the money that he spent in Iraq and to a large extent, Afghanistan. We should never have gone to war in Iraq. But one hundred years from now, Buck, if suddenly the Middle East becomes a flourishing, democrat, human rights laden outpost of civilization, people may look back at George W. Bush and say, you know what, his decision to go to war in Iraq, even though it got criticized at the time, was brilliant. Historically, I don't think that's going to happen. But if there were the seeds that Bush helped to create, and they flourished in Iraq becomes a democracy that is the envy of countries around the Middle East, and everybody moves in that direction. You could look at that and say what seeds did Biden plant that you can look at during his four years and say, boy, this looks really bad right now, but it could flourish fifty or one hundred years from now. I can't even think of anything that he could look better at in retrospect.

I think that Biden's presidency will largely be now Again, I was saying from I'm thinking about this from the Democrat branding perspective, totally totally understanding perspective of what are the names that you know, we've lived in this world, Clay for twenty years now, where it's well, I mean the Obamas are more recent, but it's Clinton, Obama, Kennedy, and now Biden has become a name, one of the big Democrat names out there. He's been president for four years, and they're going to want to have some kind of a legacy going forward to rally around on their side. Biden's presidency I think is very inconsequential in many ways because I don't think that Biden's presidency was anything other than the machine running right. The Democratic Party was making a lot of the decisions. But here's what I would say, they, you know, the big disaster of the Biden years in a sense, again, if you're a Democrat, is the win that Donald Trump just had and Biden's not really I think that he's gonna be viewed as not really responsible for it. Yes, So I think his party made the decision to shove him aside. And people are going to look at this and they're going to say that was you never push out an incumbent president. It was a huge, huge mistake because it's also sacrificed Kamala Harris's political future in the process too. You see, it is the worst possible world what they did. Push out your incumbent, serve up Kamala to get absolutely destroyed. Now what do they have?

Yes, So I think the criticism is going to end up bouncing back on Biden and his team saying he should have never announced that he was running, That that was reckless and that was the sin. The only things that I could say, like, and I'm trying to think, like fifty years down the horizon, do you see where Jake Sullivan said that Jake Sullivan said, well, one reason we're not getting a lot of credit right now is because we made so many decisions that in the decades to come will look brilliant. And I'm paraphrasing him, but basically, I'm trying to look and say, Okay, let's be generous. What did Biden do. I can see historians saying, okay, he beat COVID. That's not accurate. COVID was gonna go away, as you and I talked about because the natural flow of virus, whether Trump was in office or Biden like so, I don't think they can make that argument.

That could be one of their arguments.

Then they could say, I guess the withdrawal from Afghanistan, even though it was a disaster, was the right one. They can say, hey, we stood up against Russia in the battle with Ukraine and we kept Vladimir Putin from what being Hitler and going into like Belarus and other countries.

I don't think you buy that. That could be their argument.

They could say, hey, in the Middle East, October seventh really made it hard. Remember Jake Sullivan said, We've never seen a quieter Middle East, and one week later, October seventh, happened. So I think it's hard to argue, but they can say, hey, we stood behind Israel, and that helps set the foundation. My point is, I think it's going to be hard to make long range Biden made a big difference arguments. I think Biden is Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter just died, and everybody's reassessing the difference is Unlike Jimmy Carter, Biden's not going to have a post presidency where he creates habitats for humanity and does a lot of global jet setting to try to make up for the fact that he was a bad president.

I think unless my major advances in biogenetics years, I.

Think I think Biden is Jimmy Carter without the Jimmy Carter post presidency, which actually means Biden is the worst president in any of our lives. And I think, again, I'm thinking historically, not right now. I'm trying to think decades into the future. I just see very few things that in retrospect somebody can point to and today, boy he got ripped, but he got this.

See I'll I'll throw this out there. First of all, I mean, I think Barack Obama set in motion the entire leftward tilt of the country that really just crashed into the wall of Trump in this past election with all of the most insane left wing stuff. You can trace back to the Obama administration into the early years of Obama. So I, you know, to the beginnings of obamasm. So I would say Obama's the worst president of the century by far. I think, far more destructive and far more consequential in his destruction than what we've seen now. To be fair, eight years versus four years. You know, there's a there's a you.

Could point to Obama and say he killed Osama bin Laden, right, most presidents.

You can point to Joe Biden and say he's the president who in twenty years of the Iraq I mean, of the Afghanistan war, just said enough is enough and he ended the war. I know, well, that's the Afghanistan argument. But that's what they're gonna say.

That's the Afghanistan argument you can make in twenty forty to fifty years. Here's why I think Jimmy Carter is the appropriate analogy. Historically, again, were history nerds here. Jimmy Carter really got elected because of Watergate, right, because Gerald Ford pardoned because Gerald Ford made the decision to pardon Richard Nixon, and Carter narrowly got in in seventy six as the ultimate Washington outsider, and there was an anger associated with the Nixon end of that era, and Ford tried to run. Ford, by the way, is a good guy who historically most people have said, Yeah, that was the right decision to pardon Nixon. The country benefited, he lost in the short term. Carter is somewhat of an accidental president as a result. I think Joe Biden is an accidental president because of COVID, because Democrats used COVID, much like they did Watergate, to get a otherwise never electable guy into office, and then, much like in nineteen eighty, Reagan came in and just swept out Carter. I think Trump re emerging in twenty four and sweeping out Biden makes the analogy between Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden. Then you can toss in the selection yours inflation.

Yeah, but this election was a lot closer than Carter the Reagan just to I mean, I think it's well worth.

To be fair. The Carter Reagan example was supposed to be very close, and this is actually we're a little bit scary. Is it possible to have a truly Reagan era whipping of anybody who's a Democrat, even if they're an awful candidate.

You know, the country is dug in in a way now where people will continue to stay with party. I think almost irrespective of results. I believe this of Democrats. They would say it's true. Republicans too, I would disagree, but I think that yes, the polarization of the country is a reality. The Democrat Party has moved far to the left compared to what it was even a few decades ago. Look, I'm just trying to sort of see what the messaging is here from. I mean, Biden's trying to tell us how the US is so strong and the foreign policy front where so strong. Things are great. It's a weak argument, Clay, I get it. I'm just trying to figure out what the Democrat to do with this, because they need something to rally or someone, some brand to rally around. It's by it's not going to be Obama going forward, it's not going to be a Clinton going forward. They are so leaderless and without messaging at this point too, because the whole last year, the messaging wasn't you know we got to finish the job with the middle class and get more. It was Trump is hitler, let's prosecute him, and then the country said, actually, we kind of like this guy, Let's give him four more years. I don't know how they come back from that. And I think Biden is running around doing his version of you know, the farewell tour based on foreign policy because you know who really, you know, it's not going to be No one really cares that much about what Biden says at this stage, so he's just trying to put some put some nice flowery of words together in his defense. Let me put something out there that points to how hard the history can be to predict, even in the short term, to say nothing of decades into the future. You and I were not on together as a team yet. If on January seventh, the day after January sixth, twenty twenty one, I had come on and I'd said, Hey, things look bad for Trump now, but I'm telling you January twenty twenty five, Trump is going to win the popular vote, the biggest Republican win since nineteen eighty eight. Every single person in America just about would have called me a moron, not crazy, not dissimilar from normal, and that would have been a headline everywhere. Four years later that all happened. So while you think about Kamala, I'll just say in winter, so to speak, she's not in as bad of a spot right now as Trump was on January seventh, twenty twenty one. I see, this is kind of what I was getting at Clay. I think that there'll be some Biden nostalgia within a couple of years. This is what I mean, I think. And then Biden knows that, and they're gonna they're gonna go with it. They're gonna pretend you're gonna say, you know, he was a steady hand and you know things are okay, because they's gonna need something.

Kamala's team has to convince the nation over the next two years that but for Biden's decision to wait to step down, she would have beaten Trump. That's her argument for why she deserves to be the nominee in twenty eight I think it's wrong because I think Kamala, the more time people spend with her, the less they like her. But there's gonna be a battle over who is to blame for twenty twenty four, and Kamala's people need it to be Biden, and Biden's people need it to be.

Common and that that's really what I'm trying to get out here with Biden is is I think laying the groundwork for in the future Democrats to feel like it was Kamala's fault, right, this is the whole thing. It's it's in the fault.

Remember in the debate Republican debate, We're about to go to break but when suddenly Nicky Haley like pulled out a knife and metaphorically stabbed Tim Scott and they were like close friends to that point, and Tim Scott's like, Okay, we're gonna go here. But they were so similar, both South Carolina Republicans, that one or the other had to survive. And Nicky Haley had the knife in her hand and just gutted Tim Scott on the stage metaphorically speaking, that's what's gonna have to happen, Biden, Kamala, one of them is gonna have to get get a knife.

And just it was like Tim Scott's such a nice guy. What just happened? He's so nice?

And what Nicky Haley ended up surviving the longest. She was the last you know, the last executioner you know in that respects, like, what does she gain? But she had to do that, I think to get to the point she did. Kamala Biden are gonna have to make that choice at some point.

Look, we're talking a lot about Trump taken over next week. It's going to be fantastic in so many ways. I'm honestly thrilled for the country. I think this is going to be a great era in America. But you also got to prepare for the unexpected. And that includes what's going to happen, at least in the short term with the economy, with our thirty six trillion dollars of debt, and inflation could start to creep up even more than is expected right now. I mean, look at what they're doing with rates. Take action today with gold and silver and you'll be happy you did in the future. The Birch Gold Group, that's who I trust.
