00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome everybody to the Friday edition of

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. Clay is heading

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: to us from the airport. He'll be joining in progress.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: It is made the Buckster leading you in this deep

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: dive into everything you need to know. All the thing's

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: happening right now, all across this land of ours, all

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: across the world. In fact, we have some things to

9
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: talk about, like new job support not good not a

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: good job support. We'll discuss a little bit. Ninety two

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: thousand jobs lost. Now they're gonna revise this, it could change.

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: I get all that. But obviously any economic news that

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: is not if it's fantastic economic news, the media doesn't

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: want to talk about it because they don't want to

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: give Trump credit. And if it's even a little negative,

16
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,959
Speaker 1: it's all they want to talk about when it comes

17
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: to the economy. So we're gonna look at that a

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: little bit. We're gonna look at that. We've also got

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: the aftermath of the firing of Christy Noan by Trump

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: from DHS. It was a long time coming. It should

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: have happened months and months ago, quite honestly, but there's

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth over this. We may

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: be joined by are we do. We still have Senator

24
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: Kennedy on the DAKA team. Is Senator Kennedy of Louisiana

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: who is involved in that hearing. He's coming on the show.

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk to him. We're gonna talk to the

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: good senator from the great state of Louisiana about the

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: situation with well Baran first and foremost and the DHS.

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: But look, there's the single biggest thing happening right now

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: is the US slash Israeli aerial campaign against Iran and

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: now against regional proxies of Iran. There have been strikes

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: in the southern suburbs of Lebanon, so that that is interesting.

33
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Lebanon is at a tipping point as it seeks to curb

34
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Hesbola's influenced countries, waiting to see if the government seizes

35
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: on this moment to disarm the Iranian backed armed group

36
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: and how the militants will respond. So Israeli military pounding

37
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Hesbelah on the southern edge of the Lebanese capital. This

38
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: is just worth noting because we're going they're going after

39
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: we're going after. We're with the Israelis on this. We

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: are allies in this mission. That is the reality of

41
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: the situation. So it is a we situation and we're

42
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: going after Hesbolah, a primary proxy army of the Mullahs

43
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: in Tehran, and man are we pounding the Iranians, Iranian regime,

44
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: not Iranian civilians, but we are pounding military assets and

45
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: government assets hard. This is in fact Trump speaking about this.

46
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: This is cut one. You can hear it from the

47
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: Command in chief, play it.

48
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 2: The United States military, together with the wonderful Israeli partners,

49
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 2: continues to totally demolish the enemy, far ahead of schedule

50
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: and at levels that people have never seen before. Actually,

51
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: we're destroying more of Iran's missiles and drone capability every

52
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: single hour, knocking them out like nobody thought it was possible.

53
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: As soon as they set off a missile, within four

54
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: minutes the launcher gets hit. They don't know what's happening,

55
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: and they're calling. They're saying, how do we make it deal?

56
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: I said, you're being a little bit late, and we

57
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: want to fight now more than they do.

58
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: Trump has said, no Iran deal now without unconditional surrender.

59
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: So again, on again, calling on all members.

60
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: So what we have here is an escalation and a

61
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: line in the sand. President Trump has had enough of

62
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: the Iranians, the Mullahs, the IRGC, playing all these games,

63
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: pretending like they want to negotiate, when really they just

64
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: want to stall. Certainly, when Republicans like Trump are in office,

65
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: they want to stall. Democrats will make concessions and stupid deals,

66
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: but with Trump they're trying to just play games and

67
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: play for time. He decided enough is enough and there's

68
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: no need to sit and wait for Iran to improve

69
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: or expand upon its ballistic missile capability, which I might

70
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: add was always left out of that disastrous Obama deal.

71
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: Remember the Obama Iran deal did not cover ballistic missiles,

72
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: so the Iranians were free to build up those stockpiles,

73
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: and as we have seen, those stockpiles are now being

74
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: dramatically reduced by the air campaign. It is incredible the efficiency,

75
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: the technology, the skill, the precision with which US planes

76
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: and Israeli planes are able to We don't just have

77
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: aerial superiority. We are dominating their airspace. We are the

78
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: airspace now have complete and total control over it and

79
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: It did not take very long, so you can pick

80
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: any targets you want to hit. Now the big question

81
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 1: becomes as we have discussed who is going to take over,

82
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: who is going to be in charge of this country

83
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: or really perhaps a caretaker regime for a transition to

84
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: what we would like to have democratic elections. I'm sure,

85
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: And so that is people keep asking me, like, do

86
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: how do I think this is going to go? I

87
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: think if there was a clear plan, we would already

88
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: know what the clear plan is. This is a little

89
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: bit of Kentucky windage. You could say, this is a

90
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: little bit of just let it fly. Got to figure

91
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: this one out as we go. But Trump decided the

92
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: alternative was worse. Here he is saying to all members

93
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: of the security services, just put down your arms, full amnesty,

94
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: that is the way forward. Plate cut too, and once.

95
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: Again calling on all members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard,

96
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 2: the military, and the police to lay down their arms.

97
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: They're only going to be killed, and now is the

98
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: time to stand up for the Iranian people and help

99
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: take back your country. You're going to have a chance,

100
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: after all these years to take back your country. Except immunity,

101
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: we'll give you immunity, and we'll be giving you really

102
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: the right side of history, because that's what it is.

103
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: So you'll be perfectly safe with total immunity, or you'll

104
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: face absolutely guaranteed death. And I don't want to see that.

105
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: It's true. One of the components of this that is

106
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: different from even what we were dealing with twenty years ago.

107
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: The intelligence apparatus that we and the Israelis can bring

108
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: to bear on Iran from the sky, electronically and otherwise

109
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: and on the ground is such that we can take

110
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: anybody out. Trump is just taking anybody out that he

111
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: chooses to. That gives you a lot of leverage. One

112
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: of the challenges of air campaigns in the past has

113
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: been you always needed people with guns to go door

114
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: to door, house to house and pull the other guy

115
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: out of his fighting position, out of his foxhole, so

116
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: to speak. I mean that that's part of this. But

117
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: if we are so capable that we can take out

118
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: anybody we want, any member of the leadership, I mean,

119
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: here you go. Israel just says this is an update.

120
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: The Israeli military destroyed bunker used by Iran Supreme Leader

121
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: in a nuance slaught. These are just taking apart the

122
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: entire military infrastructure of Iran right now. That's and there's

123
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: nothing the Iranians can do about it. There's nothing the

124
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: mullets can do. There is no secret super weapon option

125
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: that they have. And I wonder how long this continues

126
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: before it's clear that they're not really in charge of

127
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: their own country. If you can't control your airspace and

128
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: you can't keep any leadership alive without the say so

129
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: of the United States and Israel, are you really in control?

130
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: So we are entering a new phase. Remember, this brings

131
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: together drones, it brings together surveillance technology that's even beyond

132
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: people that ask me like, well, what do you think

133
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: they have? Guys, I've been out. I haven't had a

134
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: clearance in over a decade now, So there's all kinds

135
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: of new wizbangs that I read about just like you.

136
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: But the technology and the mapping capability and the human

137
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: terrain assessments that they can do are way beyond what

138
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: you could have done in the early two thousands, And

139
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: we went into Iraq far greater precision. The munitions are

140
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: much more targeted and precise, as well our ability to

141
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: shoot things out of the sky that they try to

142
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: fire at US is far better. I mean, you are

143
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: seeing a dominant military performance on display right now. We

144
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen anything really like it since Persian Gulf War one.

145
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: Nothing that comes that at this level, and that was

146
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: that was quite different in its own way. So I

147
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: think that the Trump administration feels like this is going

148
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: so far to plan, and I think that they are

149
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: having to do some improvisation as they move along to

150
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: figure out who's going to be in charge. People talk

151
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: about the current the Kurds are great in Kurdish areas.

152
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm very proud. Everyone I know who was US military

153
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: in Iraq, everyone know who is intel in Iraq, tend

154
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: to be very pro Kurdish. They fight, they they are

155
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: reliable in their own areas, but they have limitations because

156
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: you take them out of Kurdish areas and there are problems.

157
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, all these old ethnic conflicts come together.

158
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: So you got that help in Iran in some in

159
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: some capacity. You got to figure out what you're going

160
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: to do with the Persian Who's going to be the

161
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: figurehead of the Persian majority. I don't know. People are

162
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: saying some descendant of the Shaw that could be complicated.

163
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. If the administration was certain, I think

164
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: they would have already started to lay out that plan

165
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: for us. But I also believe that there's some wisdom

166
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: in this approach of let's just as Rubio said, and

167
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 1: I said, if you defang the snake, let's remove their

168
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: capability to hit us or any of our friends, and say,

169
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: when you want to talk, let us know when you

170
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: want to talk. Molliss, your missiles are disappearing, your stockpiles

171
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: are getting blown up or entombed by our bunker busters.

172
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: How much longer do you want this to go on for?

173
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: We did try it the nice way. We tried it

174
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: the nice way for a long time. And I would

175
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: argue the Obama administration tried it the far too nice way,

176
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: bending the knees, sending them palettes of cash, you know whatever.

177
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: We tried that for a long time. They weren't willing

178
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: to play ball. They were playing games so that they

179
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: could get to a nuke. It's very obvious there's no

180
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: reason for them to have caused all these problems if

181
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: they weren't planning to get nuclear weapons, and then they

182
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: wouldn't be in this position because there would be redlines.

183
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: And I think we might have argued, if Iran had

184
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: nukes and we were doing to them what we've already

185
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: done in the early days here, would they have fired them? Yes,

186
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: people have been saying to me, Buck, do you think

187
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Aram would have fired nukes? I don't know as a

188
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: first strike. But what we're doing now, Oh, yes, I

189
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: think the Molas probably would say, we're going to take

190
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: a shot at Tel Aviv. Let's see if we can

191
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: hit it, or Jerusalem or where we'll probably tel Aviv.

192
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: But yes, I think the Molas would do that. Now

193
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: they can't. Now they can't. So we're entering a different phase.

194
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: Things in Venezuela are already starting to move in a

195
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: more positive direction. Look, we have to understand Trump is

196
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: remaking the world in an image of stability and safety

197
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: in a way that a lot of people, including Trump voters,

198
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: didn't anticipate. I didn't know he was going to do

199
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: all this stuff. He didn't say he was going to

200
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: do all this stuff. So far, it's working. We should

201
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: all pray that it does work because it could be

202
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: so enormously beneficial to all these different regions, whether it's

203
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: Venezuela slash Cuba and what that would do for Latin America,

204
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: for the Caribbean basin what we see with Iran in

205
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: the Middle East and the removal of these proxies and

206
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: everything else. You know, these places don't have to be dysfunctional,

207
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: problematic for the global community. Hell holes, it doesn't have

208
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: to be that way. There are plenty of places that

209
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: we don't sit around spending a lot of time worrying about.

210
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: Plenty of countries, and this is bold stuff from the administration,

211
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: There's no two ways about it. So I am just

212
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: very hopeful that this will continue as it has been

213
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: and that will start to see a coalescing of anti

214
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: regime forces coming together on the ground. We saw the

215
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: protest movements, but this stuff is very hard, you know.

216
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: It's think about it this way, Okay, you think that

217
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: a new you think that a new government is possible

218
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: in Iran, You hate the Malas. When is it safe

219
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: for you to go outside and start talking to people

220
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: about this? When are you willing to join that march

221
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: and think that you're not going to get mowed down

222
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: by IRGC or besiege elements with pkms you and your

223
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: whole family. This is tricky. This is tricky, So I

224
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: think that's part of why Trump is saying put down

225
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: your guns now, because I can tell you this, if

226
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: they start going after civilians, I think Trump is going

227
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: to hit military elements even harder. And we're talking about

228
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: blowing up barracks or whatever he's got to do. So

229
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: we shall see. Wondering what you think about all of this, UH,

230
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: definitely give us a call eight hundred two eighty two

231
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: to eight A two will continue to analyze it, make

232
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: sense of it, and dive into it together. Here in Miami,

233
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: new homeowners quickly learn about three things air conditioning systems,

234
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: hurricane proof windows, and what condition is the roof? In

235
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: that last question that's often most important. A house needs

236
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: an intact roof throughout every season and every weather condition.

00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 3: Big breaking news happened yesterday when DHS Secretary Christy Nome

259
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 3: was let go while we were live on the air

260
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: near the end of the second hour, and a big

261
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: reason why I believe this guy's questions of her.

262
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: On Tuesday.

263
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 3: We are joined now by Senator John Kennedy of the

264
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: Great State of Louisiana and Senator, let's just dive in

265
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: right off the top. What was your reaction when you

266
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: saw that Christy Nome was out. Were you surprised, did

267
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: you expect it? Take us into your process there as

268
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: you came to see that news.

269
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 4: I wasn't surprised. I like the Secretary. I think she

270
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 4: did many good things. In fact, I started my questioning

271
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 4: by congratulating her on her success in securing our southern

272
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 4: border and implementing the Presidence Plan. But there have been

273
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 4: a number of management decisions and certain management behavior at

274
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 4: the department in the last for four months that I

275
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 4: think if they were really distracting from the President's agenda

276
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: and our agenda. And the quarter of a billion dollars

277
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 4: of advertising campaign that that featured the Secretary prominently has

278
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 4: always bothered me. I'm i'm, I'm very opposed to spending porn.

279
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 4: But anyway, my point is I didn't tell anybody. I

280
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 4: didn't get anybody's permission. I just decided to ask the

281
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 4: secretary some pretty tough questions. And when I asked her

282
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 4: about the advertising campaign, I was a little surprised. That's

283
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 4: why I asked her twice that she basically said the

284
00:17:52,000 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 4: President approved everybility, and I didn't believe that. That night,

285
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 4: about nine point thirty, I got a phone call from

286
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 4: the President. He was mad as a mama wasp. He

287
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 4: told me he had nothing to do with it. He

288
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: wasn't aware of the advertising advertising campaign. He would not

289
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 4: have approved a quarter of a billion dollars. He wouldn't

290
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: have approved no bid contracts to allegedly the friends of

291
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: the secretary. And I had a feeling that he was

292
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 4: going to make a change. He ran a couple of

293
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 4: names by me about new secretaries. She asked me for

294
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 4: my opinion on a few, and that was the end

295
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 4: of the conversation. But I could tell that in all

296
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: likelihood that the secretary she was as dead as Woodrow Wilson.

297
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 4: You know, I can tell when the president's made up

298
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 4: his mine and he usually acts pretty quickly, dead as Woodrow.

299
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: And what also, what about I was just gonna say.

300
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: I was also I'm not surprised at Mark Way because

301
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 4: we talked about Mark Wayne, and I told, okay.

302
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: We'll get into that in a second.

303
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 3: But when you say Trump was mad as a mama wasp,

304
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: what does that sound like? You talk to President Trump

305
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 3: a lot, What does that sound like when you get

306
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 3: a call from the president and he's that angry, that

307
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 3: conversation sounds like what take us into take it into

308
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 3: what that experience is.

309
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 4: Well, he wasn't. He wasn't screaming or anything, but he

310
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 4: was angry. I mean, I could tell he was angry.

311
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 4: And he started off by saying, I hope you know

312
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,719
Speaker 4: that I would never spend this kind of money on

313
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 4: something like that when we're scratching and clawing to try

314
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 4: to reduce our spending and therefore reduce our debt. And

315
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 4: you know, he was very firm, I'll put it that way.

316
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 4: But he wasn't, but I could tell he was gonna

317
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 4: make a change.

318
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: Senator Kennedy, can you tell us a little bit more

319
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: about First of all, how could such a huge How

320
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: could anyone think that such a huge budget for an

321
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: ad campaign for a government employee, not the president, would

322
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: do anything other than raise a lot of eyebrows. And

323
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: then also you mentioned this contracting. This seems like this

324
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: is quite a messy thing. If there's money that is

325
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: going taxpayer dollars going in large sums to newly formed

326
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: corporations right before they are dolled out, what do we

327
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: know about this and is there going to be further

328
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: looking into this.

329
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 4: Yes, it's going to be looked at very carefully. I

330
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 4: sat on the Appropriations committee, but even if I didn't,

331
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 4: when it comes to taxpayer money, I'm pretty cheap gush.

332
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 4: I I was State Treasurers Louisiana for seventeen years. I

333
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 4: squeak when I walk, and when I see spending porn

334
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 4: or what looks to me like spending porn, I'm gonna

335
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 4: call it out. I don't care who who did it.

336
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 4: These ads cost the quarter of a billion dollars. They

337
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 4: figured or they featured rather the Secretary. Primly. You've seen them.

338
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 4: She's on a horse in front of Mount Rushmore. I

339
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 4: think any fair minded person would look at these ads

340
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 4: and say, well, there could be a number of purposes,

341
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 4: but they're primarily to promote the secretary. And I think

342
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 4: during my questioning of the Secretary, I asked her, I said,

343
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 4: did you bid these out? I mean, and she said yes,

344
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 4: and I knew that was an acting. She didn't get

345
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 4: the names of the people who got this quarter of

346
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 4: a billion dollars off of ZIP recruiter. I think some

347
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 4: of them she knew beforehand, and some of these were

348
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 4: brand new companies. I don't know all the details, but

349
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 4: I think what disturbed me the most from the testimony

350
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: was that she, you know, she basically blamed the president

351
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: and said, you know, he okayed it and he didn't.

352
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 4: And you see the consequence.

353
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: Now you're a lawyer, I believe I'm a lawyer. You

354
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 3: said the president said he didn't do it. She said

355
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: he did. She said he did it under oath. I

356
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 3: mean to me, when you say something that is untrue

357
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 3: under oath, I mean, I think that sets off a

358
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 3: lot of alarm bells for people out there. Do you think,

359
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 3: based on what you know, that she lied under oath

360
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: about this?

361
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 4: I don't know. As far as I'm concerned, it's over with.

362
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 4: We've in again. I liked the secretary. She did many

363
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 4: good things, but we were at we've had a lot

364
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 4: of management problems. Uh. In fact, if I had only

365
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 4: ten minutes to question her, I got to two subjects.

366
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 4: I had eight to talk to her about.

367
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: Well, izy to the senator? Can I can I jump

368
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: in there? Because another thing that's gotten a lot of

369
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: attention to headlines is the allegations about the Secretary not

370
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: just having an extramarital relationship and their allegations that I

371
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: know that she has denied them in the past, but

372
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: with somebody who's a special government employee, so essentially traveling

373
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: with her on taxpayer funded aircraft and going everywhere and

374
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: in the chain of command, that is the allegation. Was

375
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: it fair for Democrat to ask about that? And is

376
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: it true that the President was unhappy with her responses?

377
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 4: He and I didn't talk about that. By he, I mean,

378
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 4: of course, I mean the President. I don't know if

379
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 4: it's those allegations are true, that they were raised by

380
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 4: a number of people and our hearing they will, Look,

381
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 4: this is not likely to be over. One of the

382
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 4: things I wanted to talk to you about but haven't

383
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: is management at the department has been obstructing their inspector

384
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 4: general who works for us in Congress and his job

385
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 4: is to find waste and corruption and and and and

386
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. And uh, I know he's going

387
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: to continue to probe. My guess is there will be others.

388
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 4: But but look, this is.

389
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: It a fair question? Is it a fair question, though,

390
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: Senator to ask, given that involves somebody who might be

391
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: in chain of command in your estimation, is it a

392
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: fair question.

393
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 4: Well, look, I don't you know. I'm pretty libertarian, guys,

394
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 4: but ninety percent of my philosophy is, don't hurt somebody

395
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 4: unless they're trying to hurt you first, and don't take

396
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 4: other people's stuff and leave me alone. So I don't

397
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 4: really care that much about someone's sex life. But now

398
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 4: if it's a government employee, for example in Congress, if

399
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 4: if if a congressman or woman has an affair with

400
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 4: somebody who works for you, it's it's illegal. But my guess,

401
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 4: my guess is it's just a guess. But it's not

402
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 4: going to come for me. This stuff is not going

403
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: to go for a way away for a while. I

404
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: would like to know about the court of a billion

405
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 4: dollars that was spent and who got it, whether we

406
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 4: can recoup any any of it. But again, guys, it

407
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 4: wasn't personal. I'm doing my job. That is my job.

408
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 4: I consider this to be spending porn, and I'm gonna

409
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 4: call it out every single time. And my experience with

410
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 4: the President is that he didn't like it either, which.

411
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: He was no, yeah, you said he was mad. I

412
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 3: wrote it down because I love the quote Matt as

413
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 3: a Mama Watts. Let's talk about something positive, because you

414
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: started to talk about it a little bit earlier. Uh,

415
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 3: Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, you said the President bounced a

416
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 3: bunch of names off you, potentially as replacements for Secretary Nome.

417
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 3: What can you tell us? We love Mark Wayne Mullen.

418
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: He was on this program with us Tuesday. Now he's

419
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 3: got a big promotion. Who knows, maybe you'll get a

420
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 3: big promotion after this interview too. But Mark Wayne Mullen

421
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: now headed the DHS. As someone who worked alongside of him,

422
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 3: what should we know? What kind of job do you

423
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: think he'll do.

424
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 4: Well? Mark Wayne's tough as a pine. Not yes, I

425
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 4: he A, he's smart, b he's tough, stee. He's a

426
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 4: good businessman. I told all this to the President. He's

427
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 4: a good businessman, which means he's a pretty good manager.

428
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: And as I told the folks yesterday and d even

429
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 4: if all things, all those things weren't true, I wouldn't

430
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 4: say otherwise because because Mark Wain would whip my ass.

431
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 4: He's like a cage fighter or something at all. Note,

432
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 4: But I like bark point and I think he'll do

433
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 4: a good job, and I think he'll be easily confirmed.

434
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 4: He already has some ideas about some of the changes

435
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 4: that he wants to make, and it's you know, new blood,

436
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 4: doesn't It doesn't hurt.

437
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 3: Sometimes you've got a best selling book. Buck Sexton also

438
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 3: has a best selling book. You guys have been on

439
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 3: the New York Times bestseller list together. What's it been

440
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: like to be a best selling author? People are buying

441
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 3: your book like crazy. I'll let you pitch it, not

442
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 3: the unique.

443
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, I think Senator has an unfair

444
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: advantage with the audio book with that accident. I'm just

445
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: gonna tell you, I think it's unfair. There should be

446
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: like a different category for charming Southern accent audiobook. But

447
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: go ahead, Senator.

448
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 4: Well Man, you know it took like twenty hours to

449
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 4: record that audio book. Oh my gosh, I had no

450
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 4: idea to take so long. Look, the name of the

451
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: book is How to Test Negative for Stupid and Washington

452
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 4: never Will. Harper Cobbins was the publisher. That wasn't my

453
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 4: first choice for a title. My first choice was always

454
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 4: be yourself unless you Suck, but they wouldn't let me

455
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 4: use that type, so we settled on this one. You

456
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 4: write a book. It was a lot of work, you know,

457
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: all nights and weekends at my kitchen table, and you

458
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 4: finish it and you have no idea what's how it's

459
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 4: going to do. So I'm not trying to be humble here.

460
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 4: I mean, honest to god, I had no idea, and

461
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 4: I really was surprised. I mean, we might have been

462
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 4: on the New York Times Best Settler list for twenty

463
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: one weeks and I'm gratified. I think it's because it's

464
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 4: not a policy book. It's a story book. I use

465
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 4: stories to talk about policy. The stories or some of

466
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 4: them are bizarre, some of them are funny, all of

467
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 4: them are true. I hope if you read the book

468
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 4: I talk about my colleagues to talk about it is drilling, Mike.

469
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 4: If you read the book, I hope it'll make you think.

470
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 4: It may discourage you, may it may make you want

471
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 4: a day drink. But every every bit of industry.

472
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,280

498
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: We are now joined by Brianna Lyman of the Federalist.

499
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 3: She has done a ton working and writing about the

500
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 3: Save Act, and we'll start there, but I also want

501
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 3: to get into Remind me to ask Brianna about the

502
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: study out there that says if you vote Republican, you

503
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: actually save lives, which is a pretty good thing.

504
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: We knew that. We knew that before the study, but

505
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: we'll take data too, so why not.

506
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: We'll get to Brionna on that. She's also doing a

507
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 3: great series on America two fifty. But let's start with this.

508
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 3: We've got a super close race. I believe it's in

509
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: the North Carolina Senate. The last I saw Brianna was

510
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 3: it came down to two votes. This is a state

511
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: Senate and the Save Act. Now we've got Ken Paxton

512
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 3: down in Texas saying, hey, if you'll pass the Save Act,

513
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 3: I'll consider dropping out of this race because he wants

514
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: for John Cornyn to support it. There's around eighty percent

515
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: of voters who support this. I know many people out

516
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 3: there are frustrated. What's the latest on it and how

517
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: in the world. Can we not get basic voter integrity,

518
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: vote with a license, vote with a voter voter the

519
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 3: photo I D passed.

520
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm happy you brought up that North Carolina

521
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 5: race because it is still down to two votes. And

522
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 5: when you have elections that are literally decided by two votes,

523
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 5: it doesn't make election security less important. It makes it

524
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 5: more important. It makes things like the SAVE Act more

525
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 5: important because remember, the SAVE Act would require documentary proof

526
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 5: of citizenship to register to vote and then voter ID.

527
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 5: Right now, the only thing standing between a non citizen

528
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 5: and our free and fare elections is a little square

529
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 5: box in the federal registration form that says you attest

530
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 5: under penalty of perjury that you're a citizen, aka the

531
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 5: honor system. And that is absolutely not enough. And so

532
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 5: when you look at races like this one in North Carolina,

533
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 5: when you look at mary Nette Miller Meeks in twenty twenty,

534
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 5: she won her congressional race by six votes, imagine if

535
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 5: six non citizens had cast a ballot in that race,

536
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 5: that could have quite literally changed a congressional seat, changed

537
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 5: the balance of Congress. That is unacceptable. And right now

538
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 5: you have leaders in the Senate like Leader of food.

539
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 5: Who is dragging his feet on legislation? Like you said,

540
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 5: that is popular nationwide amongst Republicans, Democrats, Blacks, Latino, whites,

541
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 5: you name it. Everyone's saying, this is common sense legislation,

542
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 5: and yet it's not being done.

543
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: What entirely is in the SAVE Act? I mean you

544
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: mentioned it's clearly about election integrity, But what are all

545
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: the different pieces that it contains. Are there any things

546
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: that aren't getting attention that would be really important for

547
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: election integrity? It's just people are talking about the SAVE Act.

548
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,479
Speaker 1: I think it's important that everyone also knows what's in it.

549
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, what the SAVE Act does. So there's the nineteen

550
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 5: ninety three MVRA, the National Voter Registration Act, And what

551
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 5: that does right now is it actually hamstrings the government

552
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 5: from requiring proof of citizenship to vote, because I think

553
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 5: it was twenty thirteen the Supreme Court, I think wrongly

554
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 5: interpreted that nineteen ninety three law to prohibit states from

555
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 5: requiring documentary proof of citizenship to vote. So if you

556
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 5: think of Arizona, Arizona has two registration forms. You can

557
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 5: proof that you are a citizen and vote in state

558
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 5: and federal elections. But if you can't prove that you're

559
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 5: a citizen. You can only vote in federal elections. And

560
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 5: so what the SAVE Act would do is it amends

561
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 5: that law. It fixes the problem we've had for thirty

562
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 5: years and says, no, you have to require documentary proof

563
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 5: of citizenship.

564
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 4: Right.

565
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 5: States should not be sued by the Obama and Biden

566
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 5: dojs for trying to make their elections more secure. President

567
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 5: Trump seemed to hint in a truth social post that

568
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 5: he wanted to add no trands and kids maybe into

569
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 5: the whole say back negotiations. I think that was a

570
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 5: bit unclear. But right now, the two biggest things proof

571
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 5: of citizenship to register and voter ID. And a lot

572
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 5: of people will say, well, we already have safeguards, and

573
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 5: they cite things like HAVA and HA, which are early

574
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 5: two thousands legislation. Do you know in a state like California,

575
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 5: let's say you don't have your driver's license or your

576
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 5: social security right and you have no identification, you can

577
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 5: still register to vote, and you know how you get

578
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 5: to prove your identity your gym membership? What protocols do

579
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 5: you go to to get a gym membership?

580
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 4: Nothing?

581
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 5: You just take a picture of the little thing and

582
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 5: they say, okay, here's your name. You can come to

583
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 5: the gym and you can use that to verify your

584
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 5: identity to vote. So our elections are so insecure, and

585
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 5: when you have twenty million people in this country lead,

586
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 5: we can't take.

587
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: Chances, Brionna.

588
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 3: One of the things that I would just point out

589
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: is the contrary argument does not exist, right, because the

590
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 3: argument is, well, it's racist to require voter ID. That's insane.

591
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 3: As we as you said, black, white, Asian, Hispanic, people

592
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 3: of all different backgrounds agree that you should have to

593
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 3: have voter ID photo ID to vote. So really, isn't

594
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 3: this just an implicit acknowledgment from Democrats that they're cheating

595
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 3: and worried that they might get caught because otherwise none

596
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 3: of the other arguments stand up.

597
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, there is no legitimate reason. And if you talked about,

598
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 5: let's go over first of all, to raceis something right?

599
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 5: Remember Jim Crow two point zero in Georgia? Why was

600
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 5: that twelve twenty one? They told us that black people

601
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 5: would never be able to vote again. CNN and the

602
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 5: Washington Post actually did articles after the first big election

603
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 5: after the legislation went through, and they interviewed black voters

604
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 5: who said it was actually easier to vote now than

605
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 5: it had been in the past. They weren't in encumbered,

606
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 5: they weren't prohibited from voting, so that never actually manifested, right,

607
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 5: It was just that raw raw. Then you have claim

608
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 5: that this will disenfranchise voters, and again I bring it

609
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 5: back to these smaller races that are decided by razor

610
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 5: thin margins.

611
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 4: Take this.

612
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 5: In December, a woman from the Bahamas who is not

613
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 5: a citizen, admitted to the Georgia State Election Board she

614
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 5: has voted in multiple elections. Not because she was trying

615
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 5: to do something illegal, but she said, look, they kept

616
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 5: sending me papers. I thought I was eligible, so I

617
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 5: did it right. It wasn't nefarious, but there was no

618
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 5: security in safeguards to stop her. Imagine she had cast

619
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 5: a vote in this North Carolina race and one other

620
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 5: non citizen did that, right, That would change the outcome

621
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 5: of an election that actually disenfranchises American citizen. So Republicans

622
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 5: and Democrats who say, well, oh, well, this is my

623
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 5: disenfranchised people, think about the Americans being disenfranchised by non

624
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 5: citizens voting.

625
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: Speaking to Brionna Alignment of the federalists and Brianna, the

626
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: folks who write into us are saying, we got to

627
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: pass the Save Act. It's critical to pass the Save Act.

628
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: And we have a problem here. Of course, she's one.

629
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: Majority Leader Thuon does not seem willing to push for this.

630
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 1: But even beyond that, without a sixty vote threshold, there's

631
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: the threat of philibuster, not an actual talking filibuster that

632
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: is assumed to be enough to shut this down. So

633
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 1: that means that it doesn't get passed. Right, So what

634
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: is the best thing Let's say we could get We

635
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: could get Majority Leader Thoon to sit down right now

636
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: with all of us. What should he do in this situation,

637
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: given how important election integrity is and how much sense

638
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 1: and how much support from the general public this Save

639
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: Act has.

640
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, and chip Roy actually wrote a letter explaining the

641
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 5: talking filibuster, which is that, you know, Leader Foon has

642
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 5: to basically call and have Democrats. They have to follow

643
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 5: the rules and they have to talk. They get two

644
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 5: times to talk each Once they stop talking, they don't

645
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 5: get to resume, right, and if Republicans were to enforce

646
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 5: already standing procedures, Democrats would eventually just run out of time.

647
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 5: And then you can hold a regular vote in which

648
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 5: you'd only need fifty one votes to pass this legislation,

649
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 5: which we know we have because Fetterman is on our side.

650
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 5: And if a Republican is going to resign themselves to say, well,

651
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 5: we you know, we don't want to get rid of

652
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 5: the philibuster, but we want this legislation pass, then they're

653
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 5: admitting they're never getting a passed. Republicans are never in

654
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 5: our lifetime likely going to get a filibuster proof majority.

655
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 5: That is silly thinking. So what Republicans like Thuner saying

656
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 5: is well, I guess we're just going to have to

657
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 5: settle for only doing things that Democrats want. But just

658
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 5: remember something, Chuck Schumer has made it very clear when

659
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 5: Democrats take back power, nothing including nuking the filibuster, is

660
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 5: off the table. When Democrats take back Congress, whether it's

661
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty six, twenty eight, whenever, they will do

662
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 5: what's necessary to push their agenda. And I wish Republicans

663
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 5: would have the appetite to do the same on legislation

664
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 5: that is universally popular. This is not a fifty to

665
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 5: fifty issue. It is an eighty twenty issue.

666
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 3: We're talking to Brionna liman A, the Federalist. All Right,

667
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,479
Speaker 3: everybody out there who's fired up about the Save Act,

668
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 3: we are fired up.

669
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: We wanted to happen.

670
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 3: But let me ask you about this, which is actually

671
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: a very positive story I was reading about this week.

672
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 3: There is now data out and I believe you wrote

673
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: about this or have talked about this as well, saying

674
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: that if you vote Republican, particularly when it comes to

675
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 3: das and the prosecution of violent crimes, the data reflects

676
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 3: lives are saved because there's far less violent crime. Seems

677
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: like kind of an important story that should get more attention.

678
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 3: What did the data show, What does it tell us

679
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 3: and why is it significant?

680
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 4: Yeah?

681
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, this was data that was kind of I feel

682
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 5: like hidden, and granted, you know, the Iran War started,

683
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 5: so it didn't get buried. But what it shows is

684
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 5: that despite people telling us that if you both for

685
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 5: a progressive prosecutor or being compassionate and empathetic, that compassion

686
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 5: comes at a very deadly cost. And what the study

687
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 5: by a Vanderbilt professor and a Wellesley College professor found

688
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 5: is that when you narrowly elect a Republican prosecutor over

689
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 5: a left wing counter part. You see a reduction in

690
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 5: deaths among young men six point six percent. That is

691
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 5: not a drop in the bucket. That is a substantial decrease.

692
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 5: And obviously, you know, you don't need to study, you know,

693
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 5: to show this. But Republican prosecutors they actually want to

694
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 5: hold criminals accountable. They send them to jail, and most importantly,

695
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 5: they levy consequences on these criminals that do come with

696
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 5: the consequence of restricting their access to firearms. It reduces

697
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 5: suicide among young men. It also reduces other forms of

698
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 5: gun violence. And so you think to yourself, Democrats hate

699
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 5: gun violence. Everybody hates gun violence. But Democrats also hate

700
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 5: the Second Amendment. Instead of taking away the Second Amendment

701
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 5: from law abiding citizens, if you want to reduce gun violence,

702
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 5: elect a Republican prosecutor. Tell your progressive prosecutors. What they're

703
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 5: doing is not only not working, but it's deadly and

704
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 5: dangerous for people that Democrats claim they want to help.

705
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 5: They want to help victims of gun violence. This is

706
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 5: how you do it. Be a tough on crime prosecutor.

707
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: Breon A. Lyman. Great to have you with us as

708
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: a federalists. Come back soon.

709
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 5: Thanks for having me.

710
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 3: In Israel, citizens are on high alert any hour, any minute,

711
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 3: next to incoming missile or drone might be headed in

712
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 3: their direction. The vulnerable population of Israel is the most effective.

713
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 3: That's the young, that's the old, that's those without substantial resources.

714
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, they're on the

715
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 3: ground preparing large scale distributions of life saving food, first aid,

716
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 3: and emergency essentials for security personnel. I saw it for

717
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 3: myself on the ground. What the IFCJ does. They build

718
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 3: brand bomb shelters, They build new underground hospitals. Because hospitals

719
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 3: are targeted, believe it or not, they have to turn

720
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 3: parking garages into their emergency wards and into their own hospitals.

721
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 3: They do incredible work to take care of everybody in Israel,

722
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 3: and right now they could use your help. Eight eight

723
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:58,720
Speaker 3: eight four eight eight IFCJ as bombs rain down in Israel,

728
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: Before we get into this Mom Donnie story stuff, Mom

729
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,800
Speaker 1: Donnie's wife, actually, uh play why don't you tell everybody

730
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: what you do in DC?

731
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 4: Man?

732
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: You know what's what's going what's going on there?

733
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 3: The reason I was late, Uh I flew up to DC.

734
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 3: I'm only up here, down and back same day on

735
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 3: my beloved Southwest Airlines. There's actually a really cool panel

736
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 3: on the future of college sports. And I know a

737
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 3: lot of you are big college sports fans, but basically,

738
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 3: as players have begun to be paid, it has created

739
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 3: an absolute mess that I think most fans out there

740
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 3: agree needs to be fixed. And this gets into Leeds

741
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 3: a little bit, but it is going to require if

742
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 3: we want to fix it. I think congressional action.

743
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 1: Now.

744
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if Congress can pass anything right now,

745
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 3: to be frank, but President Trump, in addition to building

746
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 3: ballrooms and victory arches and doing engaging in actions in

747
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 3: Venezuela and maybe Cuba and certainly Iran, is trying to

748
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 3: fix everything out there. And so people from Nick Saban,

749
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 3: Urban Meyer, a lot of different people affiliated with college

750
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 3: sports are going to be at the White House.

751
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to be on a panel.

752
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be carried live on Fox

753
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 3: News at four pm Eastern, and the President's trying to

754
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 3: put together a plan to solve many of the issues

755
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 3: but deviling college sports right now, and I'm going to

756
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 3: be a part of it. So with my background in

757
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 3: media and politics and law, hopefully I can be somewhat helpful.

758
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: So that's what's going on.

759
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: Man, go to the panel and then go home, pick

760
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 3: up my kid at a lacrosse match, and head into

761
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 3: the house for the weekend. But hopefully we can make

762
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 3: some progress on trying to fix the mess that is

763
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 3: college athletics right now.

764
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm already hearing more about how here in Florida, because

765
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: of our lovely climate and the ability to play out

766
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 1: or sports pretty much year round, that there's a surgeon

767
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: interest in kids going to essentially sports first academies, with

768
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 1: the idea being you don't even have to go pro anymore,

769
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: and it's not just about getting recruited to a college.

770
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: You might be able to make seven figures. Now you say, okay,

771
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 1: well maybe you can only do that for a few years. Yeah,

772
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 1: starting out life in your early twenties, if you're making

773
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: a half million dollars a year for I think my

774
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: first job, I made thirty grand, So yeah, you know,

775
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: that's pretty good deal.

776
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 3: Look, the balancing act is going to be complicated because

777
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 3: you want people to be compensated for their talent. I'm

778
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 3: a capitalist, but I always say, and it takes people

779
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 3: sometimes a minute to think about it, but in sports,

780
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 3: the business is the competition, and the quality of the

781
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 3: competition is what dictates the success of the sport. And

782
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 3: so if you're creating competition that is not ideal and

783
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 3: you're breaking the competitive balance in the process in the

784
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 3: long range, that is not a good solution. So got

785
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 3: to figure this out. If people are curious about it.

786
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 3: My Twitter handle I laid out some of the complex

787
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 3: issues on it. But a lot of our friends Senator

788
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 3: Ted cru Is going to be there, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis,

789
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 3: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, President Trump clearly, Eric Schmidt,

790
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 3: Senator from Missouri. A lot of people that have an

791
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 3: understanding of many different complex issues here, Nick Saban, Urban Meyer,

792
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 3: who have had history and coaching. So I'm looking forward

793
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 3: to it. I have no idea truly what to expect fully,

794
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 3: but it'll be live at the White House and looking

795
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 3: forward to getting over there and seeing everybody in about

796
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 3: thirty minutes.

797
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: So I'm going to be headed over there, and now

798
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: let's hear about the first or the New York stated

799
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: Crocket Air. Yeah, so this is not going to surprise me.

800
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 3: But I was reading this morning and I want to

801
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 3: give credit to the group that wrote about this. But

802
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 3: Mamdani has tried to has tried to lean into I

803
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 3: think what it's fair to say, a lot of negative

804
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 3: connotation surrounding Jewish people. I think that's being very kind

805
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 3: to him in New York City, and he has tried

806
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 3: to argue, oh, that's just being misconstrued, that's being mischaracterized.

807
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 3: I don't actually believe these things. Jewish Insider dot com,

808
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 3: a reporting site, has a story up. I shared it.

809
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 3: I am retweeting it right now. If you are interested

810
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: in reading it, It'll be up at claymbuck dot com too.

811
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 3: Mayor Mom Donnie's wife liked many different social media post

812
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 3: celebrating the October seventh terror attack that led to twelve

813
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 3: hundred Israeli deaths and two hundred and fifty people being

814
00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 3: taken hostage. Now, everyone out there who is married, I understand,

815
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 3: and I do think it's fair to say, hey, husbands

816
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 3: and wives don't agree on everything. I think it's pretty

817
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 3: unlikely that there's very many husbands and wives where one

818
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 3: of them says, yay, I'm so happy that Hamas killed

819
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,280
Speaker 3: a bunch of Jews, and the other one.

820
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: Is the exact opposite opinion.

821
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 3: So there are certain things where maybe husbands and wives

822
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 3: married couples, the dating couples can differ, and all of

823
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 3: you who have spouses can acknowledge this. Certainly, my wife

824
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 3: does not want to be held accountable for everything that

825
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 3: I say, trust me. But I don't think there's very

826
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 3: many couples where, again, would you sign on to this

827
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 3: book one of them is like, yeah, I'm so glad

828
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 3: that a bunch of Jews got murdered. Let me go

829
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 3: celebrate October seventh, and the other partner is absolutely horrified

830
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 3: by that. I don't think that's very common. Donnie has

831
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 3: not commented on this. It's his wife, not him, but

832
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 3: she went on social media and liked a ton of

833
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 3: celebratory post for the murder of innocent Israeli's on October seventh.

834
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he's horrible, she's horrible.

835
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 3: Let me put it in this context book. If Milania

836
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 3: Trump had done this, do you think people would say, oh,

837
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 3: President Trump had nothing to do with it.

838
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: No, I mean, of course the media would be all

839
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 1: over it. I just this is what you get in

840
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: New York when you have some Communists that you decide

841
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna put in charge of the city, and he's

842
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: going to have people around him who are anti Semites.

843
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: Keep in mind there are Jewish New Yorkers who are

844
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: very prommdani. They don't care about this stuff. They think

845
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:43,440
Speaker 1: that the hatred of Israel is somehow entirely separate from

846
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: hatred of them as Jews. I can tell you everyone

847
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: I've ever heard talking about how much they hate Israel,

848
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: especially remember I'm not talking about criticizing Israeli policy. If

849
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,320
Speaker 1: you're celebrating October seventh, you hate Israelis I mean you

850
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: want Israelies, you hate Jewish people. You hate Jewish people too.

851
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: And this is a very it's very obvious, right. We

852
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: don't need to play this game that they want us

853
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 1: to play of like, no, it's different. I only cheer

854
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: when the Zionists are being bruly murdered for no reason

855
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: in the street. W No, no Jews, they hate Jews,

856
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 1: and so yeah, she an anti Semi she is. But

857
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: there are Jewish liberals in New York who support Mom

858
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 1: Donians probably support her anyway. You know, it's the old

859
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: enemy of my enemy is my friends thing with them.

860
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 1: They don't really care as long as they're pulling down

861
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: the load bearing walls of Western civilization, going full COMMI

862
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: they're fine with it. I do think.

863
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 3: Look, if we're going to play fair stakes here, if

864
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 3: you paid attention when President Trump shared the meme video

865
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 3: which was designed to be humorous about Barack and Michelle

866
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 3: Obama and it just played on a recording, for those

867
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 3: of you who remember that controversy, it was front page news.

868
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,479
Speaker 3: I think the wife of the mayor in New York

869
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 3: City celebrating the murder of twelve hundred innocent Jews and

870
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 3: the captivity of two hundred and fifty other innocent Jews,

871
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 3: any of whom would be murdered while they were in captivity,

872
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 3: should be And I know I'm a old school because

873
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 3: I was reading the newspaper on my flights up to

874
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 3: d C.

875
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:07,720
Speaker 2: Today.

876
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 3: I know that this should be the front page of

877
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 3: the New York Times, and certainly the New York Times,

878
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 3: but also the Washington Post based on the way they

879
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 3: cover Trump's social media posts.

880
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: Will it will any.

881
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 3: Of you see this covered anywhere other than a show

882
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 3: like this or a site like the one that covered it.

883
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: It's but honestly, it's tough. She's not an elected office.

884
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: The women ask him, will they even ask him about it?

885
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's fair to say, Hey, your

886
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: wife is celebrating the murder of Jews.

887
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:41,439
Speaker 3: Do you think maybe that's a little bit wrong.

888
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. He'll he'll say my wife,

889
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: he'll get news and my wife is allowed to have opinions,

890
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:48,719
Speaker 1: and he'll just move on. I'm just I don't even

891
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: think you're not gonna he won't get asked. But if

892
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,680
Speaker 1: he did get asked, he would just say, my wife

893
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,479
Speaker 1: loves Jewish people. And this is what they just gas

894
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: light you. They ignore, It doesn't matter, the evidence doesn't matter.

895
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: Someone should be a book about this. Maybe somebody did,

896
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,919
Speaker 1: called Manufacturing Delusion, which you should go get a copy

897
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:05,840
Speaker 1: of this weekend if you have not already available on

898
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,640
Speaker 1: Amazon or wherever you get your books. Uh, because Clay,

899
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: the game with them is just say you didn't see

900
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: the thing you saw, or yeah, what I said doesn't matter.

901
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: This is it's just like with Gavin Newsom, It's all

902
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: it's all this. It's all the same stuff, and unfortunately

903
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: it works with people, and it works works well on

904
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: off of New York City. They're just going to figure

905
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,799
Speaker 1: out the hard way that this guy is the mayor

906
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: of New York and everything that he says he's going

907
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: to do that's positive, he will make worse. He came

908
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: into office to make people's lives more affordable. He's gonna

909
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: make them less affordable. And they still won't learn the lesson,

910
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: you know why, because whatever he does, they'll say he

911
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: didn't do enough of it. That's the problem. This was

912
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: the whole thing with with like Obama and all the

913
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:55,240
Speaker 1: spending after the after the Great Recession, because it causes

914
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: it was all kinds of waste and inflation and everything else,

915
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: and it was always, well, he just didn't spend It's

916
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: not the he spent too much money on Democrat priority.

917
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: He didn't spend enough. That's why we had this is

918
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: they have a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.

919
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: This is how Democrats are with everything. That's why we

920
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,600
Speaker 1: just can't let them be in charge. We just had

921
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: on brand alignment from the federalists talking about the you

922
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: elect Republicans, fewer people die, elect Republicans to run your city,

923
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: and fewer people will die by the numbers. Do you

924
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: think any Democrats care now whatever happened, If it saves

925
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,759
