BUCK: The Biden regime, folks, is not looking so good. You got the secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin, on TV right now giving a press conference on the U.S. response to Russia. Let’s just take into account for a second here that even Volodymyr… I don’t know if I said that right.

CLAY: (laughing)

BUCK: I wanted to give it a shot though, you know what I mean? That’s one of those tightrope names where you gotta just… You gotta. You know what I mean? Once you step on it, you gotta keep going. Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Biden is making things worse, which I think is not a surprise to anybody. I also feel like, Clay, one of your favorite movies and mine, Tombstone, when they’re about to go out and have the shootout in the OK Corral, remember the line where —

CLAY: It’s so great. So great.

BUCK: It’s so great. If anyone hasn’t seen it, go watch it this weekend. Do yourself a favor. But they go out and you had Wyatt Earp say that he wanted Doc Holliday to have the street howitzer, the shotgun, ’cause then the cowboys might be a little less quick to go for their guns. Trump, in a foreign policy sense? Trump was like Doc Holliday. You kind of wanted him on the street howitzer. You wanted him ready to rock, ’cause then the bad guys had to be on their toes. Clay, you see right now what the polls are saying? This is a quick one. Here’s CNN saying that 55% of Americans disapprove of Biden, and this is not even just on foreign policy. Listen.

JAKE TAPPER: CNN’s new Poll of Polls says Biden’s overall job approval rating is 42%, and that includes a new Monmouth survey that says only 30% of Americans think that President Biden is “very concerned” with the economic well-being of average Americans.

BUCK: I think people miss Trump in the foreign policy realm too being the guy with the street howitzer.

CLAY: I think that there is a cluelessness that comes when you’re in the White House in general because you’re in the middle of a fight every day, it feels like, but you lose touch with what the larger community cares about. I think the media’s guilty of this too. There is right now… If I were to say the three things that Americans white, black, Asian, Hispanic, gay, straight, Democrat, Republican, independent — the three things that Americans — care about right now?

You can argue about the order, but I would say it’s inflation, I would say that it is crime, and I would say that it’s covid. Right? I would say that those are the three things that Americans care about the most right now. Inflation, crime and covid. How has Joe Biden made any of those three things better? And that’s why ultimately, they are so desperate, I think, with this new Supreme Court justice that they’re gonna try to appoint.

Frankly, I do think we had great conversation yesterday about the idea of there being a Wag the Dog component to this Ukraine story, that it distracts from what’s going on domestically in the United States. Those three things that we just talked about are getting worse on a day-to-day basis, and Biden is not addressing them. He’s in Pennsylvania today to talk about infrastructure. That’s great. More power to him.

I guess a bridge fell in Pittsburgh. But you’re still not addressing inflation, you’re still not addressing crime, and you’re still not addressing covid. And I think that inability to get at what Americans care about the most is why Joe Biden’s approval ratings are so awful. Combine the fact that he’s doing a bad job, but it doesn’t even seem like — to most voters out there, Buck, I believe — that he’s focused on the things that they care about.

BUCK: Yes. And this is what happens when you run as a Trojan horse candidate who promises to unite the country and be a moderate to fool people during a pandemic year who are persuadable voters, to just eke out — and we’ve talked about a million times, how close the election is when you really look at the Electoral College and what it was state by state. What’s that number you always cite, Clay, 50,000?

CLAY: It’s 40,000, 40,000. The way to think about it, Buck, is 20,000 people change their minds in Wisconsin, in Georgia, and in Arizona — and I’m not getting into the legitimacy of those counts. I’m just saying, 20,000 people — that’s one NHL arena, that’s one NBA arena in the entire country, 20,000 people — change their mind, Donald Trump is president right now.

BUCK: And what we’re seeing is that Joe Biden went into office — Democrats do this a lot. I call it the Democrat head fake. He managed to become president by saying he was going to do certain things to get enough votes from moderates, independents, swing voters in those key states. And now we see, he’s really just a tool of the left.

And what was the first stuff he did in office, the first executive orders, the stuff that he’s pushing? Massive spending, massive regulation, Green New Deal, all of this, that’s not moderate! That’s not uniting the country, and he knows it. In fact, he says if you don’t support Democrats federalizing elections, you’re Bull Connor, Clay.

CLAY: That’s right and he ignores the fact that the reality is the modern-day George Wallace has nothing to do with voting. It has to do with people standing on the steps in Northern Virginia not letting you into a building unless you’re wearing a mask.
