November 8th Must Be a Reckoning

CLAY: I wanted to play this for you guys too as we continue to roll out the failure of 8.5% inflation. Steve Forbes had a pretty good idea back in the day, Buck, that both you and I like. Especially, as we get closer to the IRS deadline here Monday where everybody has to pay their taxes.

How about we just actually have a simplified tax code? Well, he was right on that. He’s also here saying when you have incompetence plus incompetence, you get a troubled economy, which is a pretty good summation of what we’ve got right now. Here he was earlier.

STUART VARNEY: Do you see a recession coming this year or next year?

STEVE FORBES: The answer is, yes. Now, whether it’s an official recession where we have two quarters in a row, who knows? But the economy is gonna decline for two principal reasons. One is the Biden administration is still continuing bad policies on regulation and the like and the Federal Reserve does not know how to fight inflation. They’re rapidly raising interest rates. That’s gonna hit the mortgage market and other things. So, when you have incompetence plus incompetence you get a troubled economy, unnecessarily.

BUCK: Yeah.

CLAY: I mean, this is a disaster.

BUCK: Correct. Yeah.

CLAY: And I don’t know how it’s going to get resolved.

I know we’re gonna keep beating the drum but it’s so significant. November 8th has to be a reckoning. The midterm election has to be an absolute reckoning.

And, by the way, Buck and I, I have to tell you, are talking about having our own viewing party for the midterms. The details are not yet — this probably not gonna shock anybody — not yet firmly ironed out. But we are gonna have a fun night.

BUCK: A party. We’re not gonna do the thing — other people can handle the, like, oh, we got the returns coming in from here, returns coming in from there. We’ll be bringing and listening to live music while eating barbecue and pointing at the screens and saying, “Oh, look that state just went for us or that election just went for us. Yay.” And then we go back to mechanical bull riding, which is not only for ladies, Clay.

CLAY: It is. You can’t ride a mechanical bull. No one wants to see a man on a mechanical bull. They certainly don’t want to see you with your scarf flowing in the breeze as you try to ride a mechanical bill.

BUCK: The scarf adds a little bit of aerodynamic flair, Clay.

CLAY: By the way, should mention this we had Adam Laxalt from the great state of Nevada where we are right now number one in Las Vegas. Poll came out today — we’re talking about Senate races, the six states that are gonna matter the most — he is up on Cortez Masto, who is the existing incumbent.

By the way, Buck, according to this, this is the Reno Gazette, she has only 40% support right now, which is pretty wild to think about that you could be the incumbent Senator and be in that much of a difficult situation right there. I mean, that is wild to think about. Gonna be a huge battleground.

We appreciate everybody listening right now in Las Vegas, where we are number one.
