1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Welcome in Wednesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton show wins, wins, wins.

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: We just keep stacking wins. As I am speaking with you,

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: and as Bucket speaking with you, Elon Musk and Donald

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Trump are having a joint news conference in the White House.

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: We have been rolling on that. We will have several

6
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: different clips of newsworthy commentary from that media availability. We've

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: got a loaded show for you. Let me give you

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: a little bit of a roadmap of where we are

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: headed during the course of the program. Next hour, Byron

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: Donald's will join US Congressman from the Naples area of Florida.

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: He announced last night on our friend Sean Hannity's show

12
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: that he is going to be running for governor of Florida.

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has endorsed him. He will be speaking with

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: all of you at the top of the next hour,

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: and I will rest assured, in addition to talking about

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: him being potentially the next governor of Florida, hold him

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: accountable for the Florida State seminole collapse in football last season,

18
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: because Buck, you'll remember one of the last times Congress

19
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: mc donald's was on the program, he just wanted to

20
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: debate me about whether Florida State should have been in

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 1: the college football playoff, and then since that debate, basically

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: Florida State's wheels have come off, and so we'll have

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: some fun with that as well. Then a guy who

24
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: is doing an incredible job. He's been on with us before,

25
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: but he has not been on with us since he

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: became borderz are Tom Homan is going to be on

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: with us next hour as well. So that is where

28
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: we are sitting on the guest front. But I wanted

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: to start buck with the newest angle of attack on Trump,

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: which I think is going to be one of the

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: least effective attacks on Trump ever. It is Trump is

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: a dictator and he is trying to control the media

33
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: too much around him. Now, I have some stat for

34
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: you that were shared this morning on Fox News because

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: I think it basically ends this argument to a large

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: extent when you look at the number of questions this

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: is prior to today, when Trump has been up there

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: answering questions like crazy. In his first month in office.

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: This is January twentieth to February nineteenth, Donald Trump Buck,

40
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: according to Fox News, took one thousand and nine questions

41
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: from the media. One thousand and nine Joe Biden in

42
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: the same timeframe. His first month in office took one

43
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: hundred and forty one questions from the media and buck

44
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: Those numbers declined precipitously for Biden as he stayed in

45
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: office longer. You can criticize Trump for a lot. Not

46
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: being willing to talk to the media and tell you

47
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: exactly what he thinks is maybe the lowest level of

48
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: criticism for Trump. But this is the latest desperation because

49
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: the White House is remaking the credentialing process in real

50
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: time for who is allowed to be at many different events.

51
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: I love watching the White House Correspondence Association get publicly dismembered.

52
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 2: I drink their tears. I joyride in the wreckage of

53
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: their souls. I can't get enough of this. And let

54
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: me tell you. Why have you ever been to a

55
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: White House Correspondence Association dinner?

56
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: Clay? I went once, never been invited. I don't think

57
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: I'm cool enough to even get invited. I would. I'm

58
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: not going to pretend that I'm cool enough to say no,

59
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: I have legitimately never been invited to the White House

60
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: Correspondence dinner.

61
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you something, Clay. The White House

62
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: Correspondence Association dinner is worse than being forced to watch

63
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: the new Beverly Hills cop movie on netflit No.

64
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: It is means it would be amazing.

65
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: It is absolutely brutal because you have all of these

66
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: incredibly self important people. We're the ones holding up democracy,

67
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: We're the ones speaking truth to power, all lies, by

68
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: the way, which everyone knows now more than ever. But

69
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: the whole thing was a preposterous joke and I absolutely

70
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: loathed it. There were some fun other like after parties,

71
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie about that, but the actual event

72
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: itself was just one giant self congratulation for what's effectively

73
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: a lib journo cartel. Why should this continue? Why should

74
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: some establishment media outlet, or rather media collective that's really

75
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: what it is, a bunch of commies.

76
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: Why should they get.

77
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: To determine who gets access to the West Wing? Why

78
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: shouldn't the administration determine who gets access? And what you've

79
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: noticed is that the expectation is Republican presidents have to

80
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: have enemy regime media meeting democrat aligned media, full act

81
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: access all the time. And that's just the way it is.

82
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 2: But you know, if a Barack Obama wants to wants

83
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: to just trash Fox News and say that it's an

84
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: enemy of democracy and block them from interviews and everything else.

85
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: Finally we've woken up. I will tell you it took

86
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: our side. Look, it took Donald Trump coming along and

87
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: metaphorically punching the other side in the face over and

88
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: over again for us to see, hey, we don't have

89
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: to put up with this anymore. And it's such a

90
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: breath of fresh air.

91
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: You know.

92
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: My only complaint would be I still think that we

93
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: give too much to the legacy media when it comes

94
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: to the debates, and we did even in this last cycle.

95
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: But it was one debate with Trump, and you know,

96
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: he did great, and obviously we saw what the result was.

97
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get too aggravated

98
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 2: over that. But the point is this shift that Caroline

99
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: Levitt as the White House Press Secretary and obviously on

100
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: behalf of Trump. This shift that's happening right now is

101
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: long overdue. And also from Jeff Bezos saying, you know, Clay,

102
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 2: on the one hand, I like that Bezos is just

103
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: talking about the Washington Post having to be be pro

104
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: capitalism and pro individual liberty as a mission statement.

105
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: Did he not know what he was buying? He's so rich.

106
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: I know that sounds crazy, but he's so rich that

107
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 2: he may have just written the check for The Washington

108
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: Post based on its reputation without actually knowing what the

109
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: heck did he He bought a communist rag of lunatics.

110
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna try to defend Bezos on this,

111
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: just like you're defending Beverly Hills. I am gonna defend

112
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: Bezos here. I'm gonna attempt to. I think that how

113
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: old is Jeff Bezos? Fifty two or fifty three? Something

114
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: like that, I mean before or after the stack, if

115
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: you know how well, yeah he is. Now you know

116
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna I was texting with some friends and they

117
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: were saying that Bezos has gone full Latimer in the Program.

118
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,119
Speaker 1: For those of you out there who remember the great

119
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: college football movie The Program, one of the guys just

120
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: gets loaded up on steroids, is a great player, but

121
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: can't pass a drug test at all, and just starts

122
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: behaving like crazy, beating up people left and right. Bezos

123
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: is the Latimer of media. Right now, he has suddenly

124
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: gotten loaded up on testosterone. He's moved to Buckstown. In Miami.

125
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: There's hot chicks walking around to everywhere. Miami is the

126
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: best looking city in America. I'm so insane. Number One,

127
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: it's insane.

128
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: If you're just a normal person walking around here, you

129
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: feel like you're in the worst shape of any human

130
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: being on the planet.

131
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't the percentage of women that just wear span

132
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: Dex every day in Miami is It's off the charts,

133
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: Like I would walk to Bucks Bucks Studio, including the

134
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: moms that have like four kids and strollers. That's what

135
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Even the moms are just walking around in spandex.

136
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Nobody's got any clothes on. Everybody's incredibly good looking. Bezos

137
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: moved to Miami. He got a hot girlfriend. He gets

138
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: loaded up suddenly on testosterone. He now can bingch press

139
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: more than two hundred and twenty five pounds, which buck

140
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: If I had to tell you one thing that you

141
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: could point to to guess how someone would vote for

142
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: men who can bench press two hundred and twenty five pounds.

143
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: How many of them do you think vote Democrat? Tend

144
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: to if I ten to one, Republican to Democrat ten

145
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: to one, or you know, they just don't care about

146
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: about doing anything political, but I agree if they actually vote,

147
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: it's got to be ten to one Republican to Democrat

148
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: if you're a man and you can binge press two

149
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five pounds. So I think what happened,

150
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: Buck is Bezos read the Washington Post historically. And I've

151
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: talked about this on the program because I went to

152
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: college in DC. The Washington Post was left of center,

153
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: there was no doubt. But Republicans in the nineties and

154
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: the early two thousands respected the Washington Post. Well, they canrry.

155
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: They just just just to point out they carried crowd Haammer,

156
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 2: you know his column, George, and they didn't carry it

157
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: with disdain. I mean, he was one of their featured columnists.

158
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: And Charles was a great columnist. I grew up reading Crowdhammer,

159
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: among many other columnists, also George will who unfortunately he

160
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: could probably use some of the Bezos treatment these days.

161
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: But put that aside, you could use some chalk, you know.

162
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: They there wasn't It wasn't that they were right of center,

163
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: to your point, but there also wasn't an outright undermining

164
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,599
Speaker 2: disdain and hatred of anybody who was democracy dies and

165
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: at the top of the newspaper, it's gotten crazy for sure. Uh,

166
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 2: you could read Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon. They would

167
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: make you laugh.

168
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: You know. They weren't obsessed with toxic masculinity. They didn't

169
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: employ people like Taylor Lorenz and that crazy Jennifer Rubinstein

170
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: or whatever her name is. It was left of center,

171
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: but normal, like much of the country was. And one

172
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: of the things that I think Trump is doing is

173
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: we're returning to the days of the eighties, nineties and

174
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: early two thousands. Slowly. The revolution that is occurring is

175
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: just a revolution of common sense. And so Buck, I

176
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: think what happened was Bezos is super busy turning Amazon

177
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: into one of the most successful businesses in the history

178
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: of the world, and he recognizes that he wants to

179
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: have an influence on something other than lowering the price

180
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: of diapers and managing to get flip flops to you

181
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: in six hours, which is something that's happened. Like I

182
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: ordered flip flops from Ambergia the other day. It's pretty awesome.

183
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: Let's respect, you know. I mean, the business that he

184
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: built is incredible, and I think he thought this is

185
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: a part of giving back. It's a small fraction of

186
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: his overall net worth. And then he started to read

187
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: the paper. When he retired, he moved to Miami, he

188
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: got a hot girlfriend, probably went from benching one hundred

189
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: pounds to suddenly he'd be and Swollens Jeff Bezos right,

190
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: He's throwing up weight everywhere.

191
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: And I believe, I believe they call him beast mode

192
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: Bezos or beast most Bezos has shown up.

193
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: And I think he finally decided that he was willing

194
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: to stand up to the newspaper. He started to hire people.

195
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: He hired a former Wall Street journal editor. He started

196
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: to fire people. And I've said this for a long time.

197
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: There's no point in having fu money if occasionally you

198
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: don't say f you. And if you're one of the

199
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: richest men in the world and you own a media

200
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: outlet and you think that media outlet is producing really

201
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: poor journalism, which it was, and far left wing biased journalism,

202
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: some of which Buck actually would cover Amazon and him.

203
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: So I think the coverage of the newspaper of him personally,

204
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: he looked at it and said this is not very good.

205
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: And I think he finally stood up and said I'm

206
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: going to try to drag this paper back towards some

207
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: measure of decency. A couple things to throw it into

208
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: the mix here.

209
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: One is, the winds are blowing really hard in this

210
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: direction right now. So I'm not about to give somebody

211
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: a big old high five for their love of the

212
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: Constitution and patriotism because they realize the Trump certainly the

213
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: Trump juggernaut is going where it's going, and you might

214
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: as well get out of the way or hop on

215
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: the hop on the train.

216
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: Right.

217
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: So that's part one, part two. And I think we've

218
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: seen this from a number of the Silicon Valley barons,

219
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: which Bezos, yes, Amazon, but he's in a little bit

220
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: of a different category than some.

221
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: Of those other guys I would. I would argue he's.

222
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: Been in the game a very long time, but they

223
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: didn't realize how crazy their side really was. There has

224
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: been some of that. There certainly has been that with

225
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 2: Elon he's admitted that, and there have been others as

226
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: well who were so focused on what they were doing

227
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: building these online companies and these global b a myths

228
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 2: that were worth hundreds of billions of dollars that they

229
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: didn't recognize that the party that they had become that

230
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: they had long been used to voting as a part

231
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: of had just basically gone insane on a whole range

232
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: of issues. I do think it was a surprise to Elon.

233
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he was the only one. I don't

234
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: think naval Ravakan would have considered himself right wing. I

235
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: don't think he is right wing even now. I just

236
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: think he's a sound thinker. And it became impossible to

237
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: be a sound and logical thinker and still be in

238
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: the good graces of the Democrat Party. So for some

239
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: of these guys, that's been a big break with the

240
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: left wing consensus.

241
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: Oh look, I'm about five or six years ahead of

242
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: some of these guys, so I tend to in terms

243
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: of my political evolution. So I tend to be more

244
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: lenient than you do. I get it because you and

245
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: like frankly me have been dealing with these guys putting

246
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: up roadblocks to us being able to just argue what

247
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: we believe. The Washington Post has not been very kind

248
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: to me when they've written articles about me. Facebook censored

249
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: both of us. So Bezos and Zuckerberg are not my bros.

250
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm not like, Hey, I want to go grab

251
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,199
Speaker 1: a beer with these guys. I don't think i've I mean,

252
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't really check it on face. I don't think

253
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: I've gained like a person on Facebook in years. Yeah,

254
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: how is that possible?

255
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: Right?

256
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: It's because because I'm in the back end, there's somehow,

257
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: you know, I get slapped by the way conservatives, a

258
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: lot of them who have done really well on Facebook.

259
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: There's something going on there. I don't know what it is,

260
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: but they've got some hookup or they've got some because

261
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 2: if you've been speaking the truth for years, you have

262
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: been shut down on Facebook, no question about it. And

263
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: a lot of good conservatives have just stopped using it

264
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: because of that. But the people that are still like

265
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: has spent years. If you made it through the pandemic

266
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: and you still had millions of followers on Facebook and

267
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: you consider self a conservative.

268
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: You sold out somewhere. I don't know how that's possible.

269
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: This is such a big point in general on so

270
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: much of the media evolving in real time. Evolution is

271
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: very kind. I think that the cost of SA saying hey,

272
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm a Trump guy has got has vanished. That is

273
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: the social cost. You mentioned it, Buck Like, we're hearing

274
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: from people. Hey, you go to the gym in New

275
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: York City, somebody's in a maga hat. You lived in

276
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: New York City, you would have never seen somebody at

277
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: like Equinox Joy.

278
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: Before I met my amazing wife, I had people who

279
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: who broke I would meet them in person, and if

280
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: I asked them out on a date, they would bail

281
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: on me because they were like, I cannot believe the

282
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: things that you publicly say about Donald Trump. That happened

283
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: a few times. You know, you're at a party. I

284
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: don't know what someone's politics. Aren't necessarily you get the

285
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: phone number. I'm a single guy, bailed on the date

286
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: because I like Trump, So I paid my dues.

287
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, we'll talk more about this, but it is

288
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: a major land shift going on here in Tennessee. Team

289
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: of more than two hundred technicians working all day at

Speaker 1: to do beta. Remember back in the day when beta

297
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: versus VHS was the thing. They've got the ability no

298
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: matter what kind of media you have to preserve your

299
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: family's memories forever. They put it on a digital file

300
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,080

Speaker 2: We are joined by Congressman Byrons Donald's now from the

313
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 2: fantastic state of Florida, which Congressman appreciate you being with us.

314
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 2: My understanding, our understanding everybody's is that you have your

315
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: eye on the governor's position going forward. And I just

316
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,959
Speaker 2: want to know what brought you to this and what

317
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: would you do because I love this Florida. Tell me

318
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: the amazing things you plan to do as governor for

319
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: this great state of Florida.

320
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, it's great to be with you guys. Yep,

321
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 4: I'm running for governor of Florida. I announced last night,

322
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 4: and you know, look for me. I came to the

323
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 4: state at seventeen. I got it, you know. I got

324
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 4: off a Greyhound bus in Tallahassee, Florida to go to

325
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 4: college at a trunk full of clothes and that was

326
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 4: about it. And I was able to build a family,

327
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: a career in finance, I mean, not even dealing with politics.

328
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: It Beflorida politics, and build a career in this state

329
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 4: and it's been wonderful to me. And I wanted to

330
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 4: make sure that it continues to be the best state

331
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: in the country far none. You know, we've had great

332
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 4: leadership by Ron de Santis and there's been so much

333
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 4: work that's been done to move Florida from a purple

334
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 4: from a blue state. To a purple state to know

335
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 4: a red state, and my mission is just to keep

336
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 4: it going and make it better than it's ever been.

337
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: Byron, we're going to get into the governor race and

338
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: all those things. But I said in the first hour

339
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: that I had to ask you the most important question

340
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: in the mind of many people in Florida. What in

341
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: the world happened to your Florida State seminoles. One of

342
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: the last times you were on with us, you were

343
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: arguing that you should have been in the playoffs. Now,

344
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: I mean, are you guys even going to be able

345
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: to beat anybody in the ACC this coming year?

346
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 4: You know what, That's a low blow. You weren't even

347
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 4: supposed to do that. But that's all right. Listen, Florida say,

348
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: it was a tough year last year, but we'll be back.

349
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 4: But I still standball what I said the year before.

350
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 4: We should have been in the playoffs because we had

351
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 4: a fantastic season, but last year just things didn't work out.

352
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 4: So you know, we're gonna retool and we're gonna rebuild

353
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 4: and we'll be back. Don't even worry about it. One

354
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: thing you got to know about the Florida State Seminoles

355
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: we're unconquered. We're gonna make sure we returned. We're gonna

356
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 4: be back better.

357
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if you know this, Byron,

358
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: but Buck's wife is a Florida Gator grad. What should

359
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: Buck has never been to an FSU UF game? And

360
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: it's one of the great rivalries in all of college football?

361
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: What should he know about that in State Florida rivalry

362
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: and how bitter and frankly fantastic it has been for

363
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: football fans over the years.

364
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 4: Listen, it's one of the best rivalries in football. It's intense.

365
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 4: Make sure you go, and then when you go, and

366
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 4: make sure you go. It doesn't even matter if you're

367
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 4: in Dolt Campbell or you're in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.

368
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 4: It's always a great time. The teams come out and

369
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 4: play hard. The records don't even matter in these games.

370
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: It's smash mouth football. It is a great time. And

371
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 4: it's the same type of rivalry like Michigan and Ohio State,

372
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 4: like Alabama and Auburn. It's just a great time, great feeling,

373
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 4: great event. You know, somebody wins, somebody loses. You know,

374
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: Florida State's won a lot of them, but so as

375
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 4: the University of Florida. But look, make sure you get

376
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 4: out there and watch that game. It's phenomenal. I try

377
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 4: not to miss it.

378
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 2: Speaking of Congress and Bayern Donalds, he is running for

379
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: the next opening in the governor's mansion here in Florida,

380
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: the Congress and I want to brought it in an

381
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 2: out nationally here for a second, if I could. You

382
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: and President Trump have a great relationship, and obviously he

383
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: has already come forward with a full throated endorsement of

384
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: you for governor of Florida. What are you thinking right

385
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 2: now about how it's all going? I mean, as you're

386
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 2: seeing Trump and Doge with Elon acting on behalf of

387
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: the president, shaking up the system, the media in retreat,

388
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 2: just I wanted to get it's your take on is

389
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 2: this all moving even faster than you anticipated? And how

390
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 2: do you want to get in on the action and help.

391
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 4: It's actually moving faster than even I thought. But I

392
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: will tell you that the team has been committed to

393
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 4: having this be done, and it's different. It's one thing

394
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 4: when you just have a chief executive who's mission minded,

395
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 4: but when you have a team around him that's also

396
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 4: about the same mission. This these are the results that

397
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 4: you get. They've been moving at warp speed and it's

398
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 4: a great thing to see. And I think in terms

399
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 4: of getting in on the action, that's just Congress doing

400
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 4: its job. Last night we were able to pass through

401
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 4: a budget resolution to start moving the president's agenda through Congress.

402
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 4: We've passed one, the bigger one, the Senate passed the

403
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 4: smaller one. But we're going to start rocking and rolling

404
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: in Congress to meet the moment and meet the urgency

405
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 4: that the Trump administration has come back to Washington with it.

406
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: It's been a great thing. Listen. I was listening to

407
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 4: the Breakfast Club. There's a clip of the Breakfast Club

408
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 4: the other day from somebody who's a federalmployee, and she

409
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,239
Speaker 4: was saying, like she doesn't even understand why people are

410
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 4: complaining about how you have to like send out an

411
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: email talking about what you did and if you can,

412
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 4: if you could have put that email out, then you

413
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 4: know what are you doing? You might need to go

414
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 4: find another job. And that's on the Breakfast Club. I mean,

415
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 4: they're not known to be a bastion of conservatism in

416
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: America first policy, but that's what the American people are

417
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 4: looking for. It's time to be efficient. It's time to

418
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 4: just get the job done. And if you're just going

419
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 4: to be an impediment to that, you got to get

420
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 4: out the way. It's about the American people first, second,

421
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 4: and third, it's not about special interests. It's not about

422
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 4: a loaded federal bureaucracy that just gets to continue operating

423
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 4: regardless of elections, regardless of what are the needs of

424
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 4: the American people.

425
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: I know, Byron, you have a huge amount of support

426
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: already in Florida, and as you mentioned, Florida's a red state.

427
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: Now the Republican nominee is going to be the governor.

428
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be you. Do you expect

429
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: very many other people to get in the race? What

430
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: do you think this Republican primary is going to look

431
00:22:58,920 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: like going forward?

432
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: Honestly, I really don't know. I will see. I mean, look,

433
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 4: my focus is just run the best race. I can.

434
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: Work hard, get to every part of our state, talk

435
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 4: to the people and earn their support. And you know,

436
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: whether it's two people, three people, ten people, I think

437
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 4: will be successful. Really, I'm honored to have the president support.

438
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: We're building support all over the state from people that

439
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 4: I served with with my time in Tallahassee, people that

440
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 4: I've worked with in my time in Congress, and it

441
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 4: is really a humbling feeling to know that so many

442
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 4: people support you and have your back. But we're just

443
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 4: going to take this campaign to the people. It's about

444
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: seeing people in their communities, addressing their concerns and earning

445
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 4: their support. And look, I have the you know, I

446
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: have the biggest endorsement in politics with President Trump, but

447
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 4: I want to go earn the endorsement from every Floridian

448
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 4: because you know, for our state to continue on the

449
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 4: trajectory we're going, everybody's got to be a part of it.

450
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 4: It's going to be a total team effort.

451
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: You got the endorsement of Trump again in my opinion,

452
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be the nominee. And I don't want to,

453
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, spike the football before we get to early,

454
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: but appreciate you announcing. Do you think that Governor Ron

455
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: DeSantis will endorse How do you think that he won't

456
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: play it out? He's term limited out for people out

457
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: there who may not know, so he cannot run again.

458
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty six, there's going to be a new governor regardless.

459
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: Are you going to ask for seek his endorsement. What

460
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: do you think he'll do with the race.

461
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I would love to earn it, and I

462
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 4: think the reason and I think honestly, you know, back

463
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 4: in twenty eighteen, you know, when Governor DeSantis, then candidate DeSantis,

464
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: had won the primary and the radical left try to

465
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 4: go at him because you know of a phrase he

466
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 4: used about referring to his opponent. You know, I went

467
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 4: and did media instead in the gap for him because

468
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: I believed he was going to be a great governor.

469
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 4: And I was proven right. He has been a great governor.

470
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 3: You know.

471
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 4: I was there to help him win in twenty eighteen

472
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,239
Speaker 4: campaign for him, have always supported him, and I think

473
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, I just want to

474
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 4: be able to pick his brain, you know, learn from him.

475
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 4: You know that being the chief executive is not easy,

476
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 4: and so there's a lot of I know, there's a

477
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 4: lot of advice he has. I want to be able

478
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 4: to lean on that, and so I would love to

479
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 4: be able to earn his support, and I think there

480
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 4: will be a time for that. So we'll see how

481
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: that goes, you know. But in terms of how the

482
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 4: rest of the rate on the rest of the race

483
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 4: unfolds too soon to tell. I'm just going to focus

484
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: on my business and really go see the people of

485
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 4: Florida and earn their support.

486
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: What do you think about the recent move from the

487
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: governor's office Congressman Donald's to get rid of property taxes

488
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 2: here in the state of Florida. I mean, that's something

489
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: that it sounds it sounds too good to be true,

490
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: but he seems serious about it. If he's not able

491
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: to get that done before the end of his term,

492
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 2: is that something you would look at. We already think

493
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: of Florida as a low tax state, but which is great.

494
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 2: But I think other states also look at this and say, well,

495
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 2: hold on a second, are there other efficiencies, other things

496
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 2: that we can do to make this in even more

497
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: not just attractive climate for businesses, but for individuals who

498
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: don't want to feel like they have to rent their

499
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: house from the state every year, which is really what

500
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: property taxes end up being.

501
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 4: No, that's one hundred percent correct. I think you know,

502
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 4: even when Governor DeSantis was in Congress, this is something

503
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 4: I believe he was advocated for, and so I think

504
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: he's serious about it. If they're successful in Tallahassee. I

505
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 4: would love for them to be able to do that,

506
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 4: and it's something I definitely want to look at. I

507
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 4: think it's important for people to understand there are a

508
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 4: lot of nuances when you get rid of property taxes.

509
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 4: So I'm not trying to hedge. I'm trying to make

510
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 4: sure people understand all the ramifications associated with it. But

511
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 4: I would be in support of getting rid of property

512
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 4: taxes in our state. There are other ways to raise

513
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 4: revenue for local government, so they can provide for police,

514
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 4: for fire, for roadways, and for capital improvements in building schools.

515
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 4: There's ways to do that. I think this is a

516
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 4: golden opportunity, not just in Florida's history, but in the

517
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 4: country's history to really examine new ways of doing business

518
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 4: that are far more efficient, far more responsive to the

519
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 4: needs and to the will of the people. And just

520
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 4: as a quick pushback for people who would say, oh, well,

521
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 4: getting rid of property taxes only favors people who have

522
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 4: means or who are wealthy, Let's be perfectly honest. Let's

523
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 4: be intellectually honest. If you rent property in Florida, you

524
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 4: are paying property taxes because if you're a property from

525
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 4: somebody else, you're paying in part the property taxes through

526
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 4: your rent. So it affects everybody, whether you're a renter,

527
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 4: whether you're an owner, rich or poor, everybody's affected. So

528
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 4: if we're going to do this, let's look at it intellectually, honestly,

529
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 4: and let's make sure we're doing the best thing for

530
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 4: everybody in our state, So especially people who are or

531
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 4: they have more access to be able to own a

532
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 4: home or buy a home, or whatever the case might be.

533
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: But then from a government perspective, we are efficient in

534
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 4: how we are levying taxes on our citizens, and that

535
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 4: we have to be responsive with the dollars that we're

536
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 4: taking from citizens to run government.

537
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: Byron Donaldsy's announced Congress from South Florida that he is

538
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: going to be running for governor of the state of Florida.

539
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: Last question for you here, I own property in Florida.

540
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: I love it thirty A beautiful place.

541
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 2: Bucket the Gulf of America, in fact o popery on

542
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 2: the Gulf of America. I do I own property on

543
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 2: the Gulf of America. Buck is going to be voting

544
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 2: in your race. He is a citizen of the state

545
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 2: of Florida. What does it say I want to go

546
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: back to how you started it off, because I think

547
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 2: it's super compelling. You came to Florida with nothing at

548
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: seventeen years old.

549
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: Now you are. It's a great American success story running

550
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: to be the governor of the state of Florida. What

551
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: does it say about the opportunity that the Sunshine State

552
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: offers your career path and the life trajectory that you

553
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: have had.

554
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: We're a meritocracy, That's what Florida is. Florida's a meritocracy.

555
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 4: If you work hard enough, if you grind and look,

556
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 4: nothing's perfect, this pitfalls everywhere, that's just life. But if

557
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 4: you work hard and you grind, and you constantly are

558
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: looking forward to the next successes, things to really happen

559
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 4: for you in our state, you know. And I look

560
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 4: at look our current governor. He grew up poor. I

561
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 4: think it was Dunedin is where he grew up. He

562
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 4: grew up poor, and look what he's done for himself

563
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: in his life. It has been a phenomenal life for him,

564
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 4: Governor Scott. Governor Scott, this single parent household, like me,

565
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 4: grew up poor, and look at what he's been able

566
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 4: to do in his life. And so I think that

567
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 4: when you take that, when you peel back the layers

568
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 4: of the you know, the last two men, the current

569
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 4: men to lead our state, Governor Scott before him, potentially me.

570
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 4: I think what it demonstrates is in our state, anything

571
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 4: and everything is possible. It's hard work, it's determinations, it's

572
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: having your family and people good people around you, and

573
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: as long as you could try to put those things

574
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 4: together and just walk through the pitfalls that come in

575
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 4: everybody's life, success is really around the corner. So you know,

576
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 4: if that's what it means, is being the state's next governor,

577
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 4: that that's really a symbol of what's possible, so be it.

578
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 4: But it's really about everybody in our state just chasing

579
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 4: that dream in Florida being the land of freedom and

580
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 4: opportunity for everybody in the Sunshine State.

581
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: Congressman Byron Donald's and hopefully the next governor of my

582
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: beautiful state of Florida. Congressman, appreciate you, sir. We'll talk

583
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: to you more as the race continues on there, and

584
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 2: we really thank you for making the time listen.

585

587
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: of the great things about doing this job is Clay

589

Speaker 2: it with so many of you. It's one of the

591
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: great joys of this But you know, when there's an

592
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,920

593
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: moment and so easy and enjoyable, you don't want to

00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: the Trump administration coming in here to this term, and

620
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 2: we may be joined here momentarily by borders.

621
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: Are Tom Holman. He's busy again.

622
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: Just like when we had the Secretary of State on

623
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 2: they got to call the next day, they got to

624
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 2: call the next day. This is We're gonna have a

625
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: lot of administration people joining us over the next four

626
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 2: years and particularly the next eighteen months. So you know

627
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: we are at their disposal right like they know open

628
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 2: invite to get these Cabinet secretaries to join us when

629
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: they can. But Trump said this about immigration, and this

630
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 2: was not an idea I had heard before. It is

631
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,719
Speaker 2: getting some conversation going. That's one way of putting it.

632
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: Cut three, play it.

633
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 7: We're gonna be doing something else. It's gonna be very

634
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 7: very good. We're going to be selling a gold card.

635
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 7: You have a green card. This is a gold card.

636
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 7: We're gonna be putting a price on that card of

637
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 7: about five million dollars and that's going to give you

638
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 7: Green card privileges. Plus it's going to be a rout

639
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 7: to citizenship and wealthy people will be coming into our

640
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 7: country by buying this card. They'll be wealthy and they'll

641
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 7: be successful, and they'll be spending a lot of money

642
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 7: and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot

643
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 7: of people. And we think it's going to be extremely successful.

644
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,239
Speaker 1: I have a few thoughts on this.

645
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 2: First of all, I think ten million sounds like a

646
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: better number if we're going to be selling green cards

647
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 2: and calling it a gold card. That's the first thing

648
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: that I thought about. I'm also not sure this is

649
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: going to get through, but we'll see. I kind of

650
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 2: think it's genius I'm not gonna lie and let me

651
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: tell you why. There are a lot of countries, So

652
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put my wife on blast here pre Trump reelection.

653
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, I'll tell you the story. We got

654
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: Tom Holman, we got this ze who's joining us. Now

655
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: my wife I will tell you this story still unless

656
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 1: she blows up my phone. But Tom Holman is with us.

657
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: Tom Holman, Borders are sir.

658
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: Thanks, thank you for taking a moment in the break

659
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 2: from among the most important, if not the most important

660
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 2: mission of the Trump administration so far. Sir, Can you

661
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 2: just tell us we've been covering and this audience is

662
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 2: very familiar with the details of what has been going on,

663
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: the total shutdown of illegal crossings by over ninety percent,

664
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: all that. Can you tell us what comes now? What

665
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: are the escalations, What are the things that we should

666
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 2: expect in the weeks and months ahead from the perspective

667
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: of border security.

668
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: Well as far as border security, I'm looking at the

669
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: numbers this morning. Are crossing compared to Biden administration. We're

670
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 3: down ninety seven percent. We're looking at about two hundred

671
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 3: apprehends of a day, and that's down from seventeen thousand

672
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 3: under Biden, so it's a ninety seven percent decrease. The

673
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 3: most impressive number I saw was the number of gataways.

674
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 3: And in twenty twenty three hundred Buyen gotaways. And these

675
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 3: are known gutaways. These are people who capturing video done

676
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 3: traffic or censor traffic that got away. They weren't apprehended

677
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 3: because Borbeto was too busy dealing with the humanitarian crisis,

678
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 3: families and all that other stuff. So they're dealing about

679
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 3: eighteen hundred do average a day. Out of the got

680
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 3: aways yesterday, forty one forty one across two thousand miles

681
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 3: of board. So you know, I've been doing this since

682
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four. I've never seen that number ever. So

683
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 3: the southern borders, it's at the best place I remember

684
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: it being. And President Trump was able to do that

685
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 3: in one month, right, So we got some work to

686
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 3: do because forty one got aways are forty one too

687
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 3: many gataways. I want zero gataways. Once we get zero gtaways,

688
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 3: and we can say we have total operational control of

689
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 3: the southern border, and we won't get there, and I

690
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: really truly believe that. So we've got some more things

691
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 3: to do where the gallaways are were flexing resources and

692
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: enforce the personnel DoD and border throw of those areas

693
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 3: and just said we squeeze them out. We're asking Mexcro

694
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 3: now that President Trump forced Mexical military and board arrested

695
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: them to a pede and deny entry, which means they

696
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: shouldn't be touching your soil. So we're working on that.

697
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 3: We'll get to that endgame. Very as far as the

698
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 3: interior enforcement, you know, I looked at numbers morning. We're

699
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 3: just shoted twenty five thousand arrests in the interior United

700
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 3: States fight ice, the vast majority of them being criminals.

701
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 3: We need to do better. Like the numbers are more

702
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 3: than twice as much as Biden a year ago. Today,

703
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 3: we've doubled the amount of criminal rests. We've doubled amounts

704
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 3: of ganga rests, We've doubled amounts of ali Erans arrested.

705
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: But I'm happy, but I'm not satisfied. The number these

706
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 3: me more twice of the President I did. Personally, Nothing

707
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 3: is not impressive to me. We to do more. So

708
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 3: we're putting more teams out there. We just brought in

709
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 3: some contractors on to increase the targeting, putting more targets

710
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 3: out there, til teams to go look for. We got

711
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 3: the whole again. We've got the FBI, US Marshals, DEA, AHF.

712
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 3: All these agencies are bringing any criminalsity. They have to

713
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 3: deal with foreign nationals, so we're working on that. I

714
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 3: got Pambining at the table now soon the sanctuary city.

715
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: So we are constantly putting ropebox up and causing us

716
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 3: to be less efficient. So we had a lot of

717
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 3: things work, and so I expect those arrestlment cherry to

718
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: rise in the very near future, and then I'll be happier.

719
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: How much, thanks for coming on and thank you for

720
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: all the work you're doing. We're talking to Tom Homan.

721
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: Ninety seven percent down on border crossings, twenty five thousand arrests,

722
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: two times what Biden was doing on arrest violent criminals.

723
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: And again, the work you've done in a month speaks

724
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: for itself. You mentioned a little bit there at the end,

725
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi being in now is Department of Justice. You've

726
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: got cash and you've got Dan Bongino now running the FBI.

727
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: How much opposition. There have been reports that sometimes Ice

728
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: is getting the raids are being tipped off in advanced

729
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: from deep staters who may well oppose what you're trying

730
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: to do. How much do you think that is actually

731
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: going on? And to what extent does there need to

732
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: be an investigation into opposition from inside of our own government?

733
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 3: Well, to what extent? One is too many? But we

734
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 3: have identified how much leaka curred for a Laura Colorado

735
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 3: that's being investigating. Now we've identify that person. Uh so

736
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 3: we'll see all that investigator turns out. But more so

737
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 3: he's going to end up at a removal prosecution.

738
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

739
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 3: The Secretary has information that maybe a leaka came out

740
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: of FBI. I'm not privy to that. Uh answer is

741
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 3: it'll be that way too. But I want to say

742
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 3: this because the vast majority of agents saw the ninety

743
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 3: nine point ages out there, including f I agents are

744
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 3: doing a great job. And you know they're out there

745
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: taking bad guys off the street. So look, once too many.

746
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 3: We've identified one and maybe another one. But I just

747
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: came back from Houston, Texas. I ran an operation at

748
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 3: Colony Ridge. The rest one hundred and nineteen people. That

749
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 3: operation went seamless, flawless. We took a lot of bad guys.

750
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 3: Other that's a cartail presence there, but they got cartail

751
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: presence no more. So we're gonna keep doing it and

752
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: then when I'm gonna stop. The biggest problem is is

753
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 3: the sanctuary cities who are constantly uh but princess and

754
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: putting pictures up of our officers or names or phone

755
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 3: numbers or address dosing them. And I've actually I met

756
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 3: with Pam bind Me this morning. I'm in the OG opinion.

757
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 3: When you put an agency, picture, name, address, phone number

758
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 3: in a public fusic, here's are the people doing this stuff?

759
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 3: I think that's impediment. I think that crosses the line.

760
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 3: So I want her opinion on if we can go

761
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,399
Speaker 3: identify who's doing this, to rest them, put handcuffs on them.

762
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: So I'm waiting that opinion. I should get anything now.

763
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of borders, are Tom Holman, who spent decades as

764
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 2: a guy on the front lines of our border and

765
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: the national security implications of our border and understands all

766
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: the ins and outs of this. And Tom on on

767
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: the issue of the of the ramp up. I mean,

768
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 2: you've talked about the numbers, first of all, the shutting

769
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 2: down the border, illegal crossings, the way that you've already done.

770
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: It's it's been phenomenal. It has shown the Democrats one

771
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: of the wide open borders. It's a huge win already

772
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 2: that the Trump administration has delivered for the whole country.

773
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 2: But then there's the issue of the ten million plus

774
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 2: who came in under Biden and the millions and millions

775
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 2: of others who are at various stages of illegal status here.

776
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 2: You know, the overall number is not something that we

777
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 2: seem to have a real definite sense of. But to

778
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 2: get to the kind of numbers that Trump was talking

779
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: about on the campaign trail would have to be a

780
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 2: dramatic increase in deportations. And there's some talk that's already

781
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: circulating of a private sector auxiliary, if you will. Eric

782
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 2: Prince's name has been floated as somebody involved in this.

783
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: Is that something the administration would consider, meaning bringing in

784
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 2: private sector to help with the deportations. And if so,

785
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 2: or if not, what is the plan to get these

786
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,280
Speaker 2: numbers to where there are, you know, hundreds of thousands

787
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: being deported a month instead of whatever the current number eight?

788
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 3: Well, I can tell you I've been told that I've

789
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 3: been sent that plan, but I haven't seen it. Again

790
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 3: and again I'm stealing with the five hundred emails a day,

791
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: whatever about a thousand texts. I'm slammed, But I haven't

792
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 3: seen that plan. But I've said from the beginning we

793
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 3: need to contract a lot of this work out. What

794
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's non law enforce work, right. We got

795
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: badges and gun with immigration story processing. We got him

796
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 3: writing warrants, we got them doing transportation, we got him

797
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 3: doing intelligence work. We got them on trans ground, in

798
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 3: air transport. I want to take every badging gun with

799
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: immigration authority and put him on the street. Things that

800
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 3: don't like we spent thousands of hours a week processing

801
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 3: illegal aliens. It doesn't take a badging gun, doesn't take

802
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 3: immigration authority. It takes some of the speech Spanish, the

803
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 3: processes peop before us. So I'm looking now to build

804
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 3: out a large contract contracting a machine to take law

805
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: enforcement officiers out of those non law enforced dudes, to

806
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 3: put them on a street. Of course, that takes money,

807
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 3: takes a lot of money. So I've been up on

808
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 3: the hill several times in the last couple of weeks

809
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: till timers, you need to pass this boarder build get

810
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: us some money to do that. And the more money

811
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,280
Speaker 3: we have, the more successful we will be. It puts

812
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 3: more agents on the street, it puts more bad guys

813
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 3: in jail, and our deportation flights where will go a

814
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: lot higher. But I can tell you this. You know,

815
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 3: I was contact by media person you know, push this

816
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 3: false narrative. Removal numbers behind Biden, but just remember Biden

817
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 3: was counting voratrol removals with ICE removals, So of courses

818
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 3: numbers highing mines of people who gave were crossing the border.

819
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: We got the border locked down, but if you look

820
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 3: at incurior rests, just those are rested in the interior

821
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 3: by Iceley more than double them. But again i'mout halfway

822
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 3: that we've had ten times more than Biden because Biden

823
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 3: wasn't doing very much. So that is the plan right now,

824
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: do contract and a lot of us work out. I

825
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 3: haven't seen the plan he talked about. I'm looking forward

826
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 3: to reading it. But right now we got to get

827
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,280
Speaker 3: law enforcement officers, every one of them on the street,

828
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 3: take them away from these non enforcement duties and get

829
00:42:57,520 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 3: them doing they should be doing, putting handcuffs on a

830
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 3: bad guy. So certainly looking forward to reading it. Well,

831
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 3: some we go from there. But the whole concept of

832
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 3: contacting that workout makes sense to me is what we

833
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 3: need to do.

834
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: We're talking to Tom Homan. Borders are doing credible work

835
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: so far. Two part question here. One, how has Eric Adams,

836
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: New York City's mayor cooperation been with you so far?

837
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: I saw the Roosevelt Hotel was getting shut down? Second part,

838
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: Can Buck and I come with you on an ice

839
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: raid at some point to see for ourselves what your

840
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:30,760
Speaker 1: crew is doing?

841
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 3: Answer to the second question, we'll make that work. We've

842
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 3: had a lot of media out there and we pulled

843
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 3: back to meet it just because we want to verify

844
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 3: the leaks. But I certainly don't thank you.

845
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: Can you don't have to worry about us guys?

846
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 3: Well, well, we'll certainly. We're certainly looking at at right now,

847
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 3: ride longs are are just hold while we.

848
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: Can kind of says, and Tom Clay hasn't really even

849
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 2: been to the border, so we would love to get

850
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,919
Speaker 2: with border patrol, get up in a helo see what's

851
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 2: going on. I mean, I've been down many times, but

852
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,399
Speaker 2: I want to get down with Clay. So we want

853
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 2: to talk to your team about that happen.

854
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 3: Look we'll make that happen. Look, I've been from day

855
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 3: when I said I want to be transparent the American people.

856
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 3: Show me exactly what we're doing, exactly who are wrestling,

857
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 3: exactly why we're doing it. We put a hold on

858
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 3: it just while we're dealing with these leagues. But we're

859
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 3: getting Coase getting beyond that now. So we'll fire him

860
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 3: back up. As far as Mayor Adams, well, i'll find

861
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 3: out next week. I'll be with them next week. And

862
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 3: and he's supposed to be writing executive order to get

863
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 3: back in the Rikers. If he does that, getting us

864
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 3: in the Rikers, that's the game changer. But I know

865
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 3: what he wants to do the right thing, And what

866
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 3: what irritates me is that he wants to be a

867
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 3: law and order mayor. And because he wants to be

868
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 3: a law order mayor, because he's talking to Tom Hollman

869
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 3: in a government hope wants to fire. And this is

870
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 3: the same lady who said on National TV a month ago,

871
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: when illigal alliens are beating up on an NYPD, when

872
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 3: they're you know, setting a woman on fire on the subway,

873
00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 3: she says she fully supports the arrest and de rotation

874
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: of criminal anlings. Yet she wants to fire the mayor.

875
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 3: That's one led us in the Rikers Island. You're kidding me.

876
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: And plus she still has a green light lob which

877
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 3: means if you're ance agent, but if you're a barbital agent,

878
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 3: you can't have access to New York State DMV data,

879
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,399
Speaker 3: which means if you're in a patrol car you're getting

880
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 3: ready to pull somebody over, like law enforcement does every day.

881
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 3: You're run an licens plate memories, try to find out

882
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 3: who's in that car, who owns that cars, if there's

883
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 3: wants some warns in that car. The mending water of

884
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 3: ice in Borbito do not have access to that data.

885
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 3: So so much for her words saying she supports the

886
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 3: deportation of criminals, and she continues to roadblocks instead of

887
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 3: her fire and Mayor Adams. The voters in New York

888
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 3: need to fire her because she talks out of one

889
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 3: side of her mouth and accent differently on the other side,

890
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 3: So she should be removed. That's my opinion.

891
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 2: Tom Holman. I think you are the definition of the

892
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 2: right man for the job, and it is an absolutely

893
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: critical job for the nation right now. So we are

894
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 2: thankful for your many years of service, and we are

895
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 2: very thankful that you are in this position now as

896
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: borders are, and we'll be in touch with you, and

897
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: you know, let us know we can get the truth

898
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: out about what's happening there. So thank you so much, sir,

899
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 2: and please keep up the great work.

900
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 3: And God bless some men and women in the United

901
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 3: States barbatol. God bless some women women of immigration customer

902
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,280
Speaker 3: enforcement third boot tend the ground they're making this happen,

903
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 3: so God bless them.

904
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,839
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Thank you, sir, Thank you very much. Since nine

905
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 2: to eleven, the Tnuata Towers Foundation has been supporting America's

906
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 2: greatest heroes and their families, Heroes who protect our communities

907
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 2: and our country, Heroes like firefighter James Dickman. He was

908
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 2: passionate about fire safety and aspired to do everything in

909
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 2: his power to keep his community and fellow firefighters safe.

910
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 2: While responding to an apartment fire, James and his crew

911
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 2: tried to save people who were trapped inside. When the

912
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 2: situation escalated, James was not able to escape, and he

913
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: perished in the blazing inferno. The cause of that fire

914
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 2: was arson. James leaves behind his loving wife, Jamie and

915
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 2: his children. Page and Grant Tunata Towers gave the Dickman

916
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: family the gift of a mortgage free home. Jamie is

Speaker 6: iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

926
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: One reason, and by the way, I encourage you as

927
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: always go subscribe to the podcast Byron Donald's and Tom Holman,

928
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: both on in the last hour. I think you will

929
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: really enjoy those conversations. Lots of information from inside of

930
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: the administration breakdown. I think Byron Donald's going to be

931
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: elected governor Florida next year. That would be my prediction. Obviously,

932
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: there's lots of different things that happen between now and then.

933
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: Tom Holman is doing a phenomenal job. I think I

934
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,839
Speaker 1: got us invited on an ice raid, which I'm gonna

935
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: be honest, sounds kind of fun and badass.

936
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 2: I think, Clay, you gotta be first through the door, swinging,

937
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: uh swinging the sledgehammer or the battering ram I think,

938
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 2: I think, I think, Clay, have you ever worn tactical

939
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: gear before? We're gonna get you all kidded out?

940
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: I went, uh No. When I was a law student,

941
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: I did a ride around with Nashville local police because

942
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: they wanted we were doing criminal law. They were like, hey,

943
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: you should actually see what a cop does. And I've

944
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: been involved in criminal cases, not myself, but as a lawyer.

945
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 1: This is lawyers. I'm talking about Clay.

946
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 2: I'm talking throwing some flash bangs, throwing some elbows, you know,

947
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 2: getting nobody.

948
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: I remember one of the thing that I found so

949
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: interesting was my criminal law professor at Vanderbilt University, Don Hall,

950
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: amazing guy, just a great guy, Rest in peace. I

951
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: taught generations of Vanderbilt lawyer's criminal law. He said that

952
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: when he would go, he would like to go because

953
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: he loved to kind of learn in real time how

954
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: do police It's really very fascinating. How do police officers

955
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: in a dynamic situation. Apply the law so that the

956
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,439
Speaker 1: evidence that they collect or the arrest they make are

957
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: able to stand up under the challenges of defense attorney.

958
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you're going very academic on this. I just

959
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 2: want video of Clay tackling some gang men.

960
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: Well, this is where I was going. He said he

961
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: had assisted as a law professor in arresting bad guys

962
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: because on one of the raids that he was on,

963
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: they had too many bad guys and not enough cops

964
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: and he just dove and tackled somebody I'm talking about.

965
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: When this happened, he was thinking, like, this is going

966
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:49,759
Speaker 1: to be the craziest legal hypothesis ever, dorky law professor,

967
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: and he was in good shape and like, but you know,

968
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 1: actually assisting in an arrest would be one of the

969
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: all time great fat background hypotheticals. And that's what he

970
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 1: said was going through his mind when he dove and

971
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: made the tackle. I think he, by the way, was

972
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 1: an FSU grad Like Byron Donald's an FSU. We could

973
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 1: get you deputized by ice.

974
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 2: But you know, you know, just just remember, you know,

975
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 2: it's it's never it's fine to throw the elbow, Clay.

976
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, if somebody tries to take

977
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: you down, you gotta do what you gotta do.

978
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: So I would love to do the raid now. So

979
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: I encourage you to go listen to our number two.

980
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: When I asked if we could go on an Ice

981
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: raid as other members of the media have. I also

982
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: love that Tom Holman said that he wasn't worried about

983
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: us leaking the Ice raid coming. I think that's a

984
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: good I think that's a good hypothesis from him. He's

985
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: been on a bunch of times over the years, even

986
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,399
Speaker 1: as Biden had failed with the border. Okay, so we

987
00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: started as we brought in Tom Homan to talk about

988
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: this Trump gold card idea. And for those of you

989
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: haven't seen this, one reason I loved Trump is every

990
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: now and then he says something that I've never heard

991
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: anybody talk about, like I've never heard this disgust in

992
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 1: any kind of substantial way. And he said, look, there

993
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: are a lot of countries where you can buy citizenship

994
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: and you will pay a certain amount of money and

995
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: you can become a citizen. And let me I started

996
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: to explain this. My wife Laura, who you well know, Buck,

997
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:23,319
Speaker 1: I would say, has a few Prepper tendencies, meaning we're

998
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: adding a lot of guns. She's got a go bag.

999
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: She's talked about building a underground bunker in the event.

1000
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: She has looked. During COVID, she got really afraid about

1001
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: where the country was going. And when Biden was elected,

1002
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: she did research on, hey, how do you become a citizen,

1003
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 1: for instance, of a Caribbean nation. How do you become

1004
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:52,319
Speaker 1: a citizen of a place where you theoretically could be

1005
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: removed There's an ocean to protect you from chaos elsewhere.

1006
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: And so she was telling me all this stuff. She's

1007
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: got a law background too, that there are actually tons

1008
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: of countries out there, and I never really had looked

1009
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 1: into it or experienced it where you can basically buy

1010
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: a passport and it's not just Caribbean nations. I believe

1011
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 1: the island of Malta you can pay and you get

1012
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 1: an EU passport, so it would entitle you to travel,

1013
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: for instance, all throughout the European Union, you and your family. Meanwhile,

1014
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: we got all these people coming illegally into our country

1015
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: trying to become citizens, and we don't buy and large

1016
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:35,799
Speaker 1: monetize that in any way. So Trump, the ultimate businessman,

1017
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: has said we should have a golden ticket basically where

1018
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: you pay five million dollars and you and your family

1019
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: can come to the United States and become citizens. And

1020
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 1: he took it a step further, and he said, if

1021
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 1: ten million people around the world did this, we could

1022
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: eliminate our entire national debt. Now I'm trust Trump on this.

1023
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: Ten million times five million? Is that fifty trillion? I

1024
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: don't know. I know it's a big number. I tried

1025
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: to do it on my calculator, buck and then I

1026
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 1: got that E and a bunch of zeros, And I'm

1027
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: not good enough at math to know. Can somebody with

1028
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:15,959
Speaker 1: a calculator confirm Trump's math?

1029
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 4: Here?

1030
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: In the meantime, listen to the audio.

1031
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 7: We'll be able to sell maybe a million of these cards,

1032
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 7: maybe more than that. And if you add up the numbers,

1033
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 7: they're pretty good. As an example, a million cards would

1034
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 7: be worth five trillion dollars five trillion, and if you

1035
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 7: sell ten million of the cards, that's a total of

1036
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 7: fifty trillion dollars. Well, we have thirty five trillion in debt.

1037
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: That'd be nice.

1038
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 7: So we'll see, but it could be great. Maybe it

1039
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 7: will be fantastic. We haven't all worked out from the

1040
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 7: legal standpoint, it's totally legal to do.

1041
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 1: Oh Buck, this is brilliant to me. And if the

1042
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: math adds and I'm trusting Trump here because my calculator

1043
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: is not good enough, I don't see what the downside

1044
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: is that you're skeptical. I can see Buck's face. He's like,

1045
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think this is actually genius. Super

1046
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: rich people, all their assets coming here, eliminating a substantial

1047
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: swath of our national debt. We got ten million illegals

1048
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: that came in during Biden with almost no assets. I

1049
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 1: would much rather have ten million insanely rich people from

1050
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: around the world paying off our national debt and bring

1051
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: as many of their assets here as possible. What am

1052
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: I missing? What do you?

1053
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 2: What are you skeptical about? First off, I just think

1054
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:39,240
Speaker 2: the numbers should be ten million.

1055
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 1: Okay, so you actually think we're not charging enough that

1056
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 1: I don't think is enough.

1057
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that's I don't think that you

1058
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 2: should just be able to get to the front of

1059
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 2: the line on this. Look, here's the My My position

1060
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 2: is that really we've actually had too much immigration for

1061
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 2: too long, and that we need to just be America

1062
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 2: for a while. Like we're good. We need to get

1063
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 2: we need to deport a lot of illegals. We need

1064
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 2: to allow us immolation of the legal immigrants who have

1065
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 2: been here to occur, which is just part of you know,

1066
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 2: time and culture and exposure and being here. You know,

1067
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 2: we that we it's kind of no room at the end.

1068
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 2: Is a little bit of how I feel right now.

1069
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I shouldn't say no room.

1070
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 2: But it's been crazy, all right, And just look at

1071
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 2: the numbers. The country's never been through anything like this before.

1072
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 2: We've never had the level of both legal and illegal

1073
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 2: immigration together in such a condensed period of time, to

1074
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 2: the tune of millions, millions, tens of millions. We have

1075
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 2: more foreign born Americans than at any time, certainly in

1076
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 2: the last one hundred and fifty years. And so we

1077
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 2: need we need a little you know, America gets to

1078
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: just be America for a while. And that means I

1079
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 2: think we got to look what Canada is doing. Canada

1080
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 2: went through this and by the way, Canada has a

1081
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 2: points system. How much money do you have, what level

1082
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 2: of education do you have? And they got all kinds

1083
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 2: of problems from this. So am I am I opposed

1084
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 2: to this in principle. So on the one hand, there's

1085
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,400
Speaker 2: just then I don't like. I don't want more H

1086
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,280
Speaker 2: one b's, you know, being added into the mix. I

1087
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 2: very much disagreed. We didn't going to talk about this

1088
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 2: the whole. The vague take on that I thought was

1089
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 2: horrendous and wrong and just like blasphemy as far as

1090
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 2: I'm concerned for America. But anyway, I think that there

1091
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 2: needs to be a change in the way that we're

1092
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 2: taking in legal immigrants. Fine, I think it needs to

1093
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 2: be less. Do we want very rich people to come here. Yes,

1094
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 2: that's a good thing. They will bring assets, they will

1095
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 2: create jobs. If it's going to be so easy that

1096
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:37,720
Speaker 2: you can just buy it, I think the numbers should

1097
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 2: be higher than five million personally. So that's one thing.

1098
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 2: Maybe Trump will be with me on that. And I

1099
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,360
Speaker 2: think it would have to be capped, right, So what

1100
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 2: he's talking about would be anybody who wants it could

1101
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:47,600
Speaker 2: come here.

1102
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, the question that I would have,

1103
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 1: and this is the data nerd in me, is what

1104
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: is the total addressable market? How many people actually have

1105
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: the ability to pay five or in your case, I

1106
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: don't necessarily disagree ten million to become citizens. And that's

1107
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 1: people who are not obviously already in the United States

1108
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: because and I understand people talk like out there, yeah,

1109
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 1: what are you there are there are six.

1110
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 2: Million millionaires in China. Wow, six million millionaires in China alone.

1111
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 2: Is America going to really feel that much like the America?

1112
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 2: We know if you let in, let's just even say

1113
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 2: half there. If three million Chinese millionaires are here, this

1114
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 2: is we're getting into some real numbers.

1115
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: You know, that's a lot of people. Well, what I

1116
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: would say from one place point out is a lot

1117
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: of these people would already own homes in America. So

1118
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: the richer you are, the more likely you are, frankly

1119
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: to stash your cashle And also should you should you

1120
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,919
Speaker 1: have to give up your I don't think you should

1121
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: be allowed to be a dual citizen with this. I

1122
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,440
Speaker 1: don't like that for a whole bunch of an international

1123
00:57:57,480 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: that's an interest. So I think you have to be

1124
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: only a US I don't think you could keep your

1125
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: EU passport or keep your Chinese passport. If you're going

1126
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: to do this program that Trump's talking about, you got

1127
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: to be all in on America. So again, there's some

1128
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: details that need to be worked out.

1129
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 3: I'm not.

1130
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I see, I see the numbers.

1131
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 2: But but I feel like there also has to be

1132
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 2: a component of this that, you know, like that's a

1133
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 2: little more of the old school. You love America, you

1134
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 2: want to be America. Do you speak English?

1135
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:25,680
Speaker 3: You know?

1136
00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: These are all things that I.

1137
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 2: Think need to be added into the mix as well, which,

1138
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 2: by the we haven't been doing that. To be clear,

1139
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 2: I would overhaul the whole immigration system dramatically.

1140
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: What I look at is, if you ask me right

1141
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,480
Speaker 1: now what is the biggest threat to American power, I

1142
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: would say it's our thirty six trillion dollar national debt.

1143
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: And I've heard very few legitimately intelligent takes on how

1144
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: we could ever eliminate that in any of our lives,

1145
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: because you can't. The math doesn't add up, right. You

1146
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: can't tax enough to eliminate the thirty six trillion. Remember,

1147
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: what Elon's trying to do right now is just get

1148
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 1: it to the point where we're only spending a trillion

1149
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: more than we bring in and then hope that the

1150
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,959
Speaker 1: growth in the nation is going to be fast enough

1151
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: to eliminate that over time.

1152
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 2: So he's trying to slow down the monster. He's not

1153
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 2: trying to say it's impossible from to slay the monster,

1154
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 2: and he knows that.

1155
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 1: My concern is, and this is big picture as we're

1156
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 1: getting ready for a break, but is the reason why

1157
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: crypto is taking off is a lot of very smart

1158
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: people are looking at our fiat currency, that is the dollar,

1159
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: and they are saying the dollar is diminishing in value

1160
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: every day because Americans have borrowed so much against it

1161
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: that at some point in time, the borrowing cabal collapses.

1162
00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: And when it does, whether you're a billionaire or you're

1163
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: living paycheck to paycheck, you are going to bear the consequences.

1164
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: And I would argue we're all bearing the consequences now

1165
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: with seven percent mortgages, with twenty some odd percent credit

1166
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: card interest, with the amount you know, getting a lot

1167
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: of sixty months, zero percent entry, when you buy a

1168
01:00:00,680 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: car now, right, all of that adds up. It takes

1169
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: money out of your pocket. So your concern, I think

1170
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: is an interesting one on geopolitical tensions. Who the loyalty

1171
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: of these individuals owe their loyalty to. My concern is,

1172
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: if you told me Clay you have a magic one,

1173
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: you can erase one major concern in the United States.

1174
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: To me, it is the national debt, and I've never

1175
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: heard anybody come up with an idea of how to

1176
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: actually eliminate the national debt. My question is, I don't

1177
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: know that the total addressable market of people willing to

1178
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: do this is ten million, But if it is, I

1179
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: don't think it is either. But if it were, or

1180
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: if you doubled the cost like you said, and it's

1181
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,960
Speaker 1: five million, you could eliminate the whole national debt just

1182
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: with this program.

1183
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's also amazing to think about you can pay

1184
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 2: five million dollars through the legal way, or until recently,

1185
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 2: you could pay five thousand dollars to the cartel run

1186
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 2: across the border and basically get a lot of the

1187
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 2: same value out of it, especially if there's ever an

1188
01:00:57,120 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 2: amnesty that comes, which the Democrats still want.

1189
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: You know, I don't.

1190
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 2: I'm not comfortable with the idea of America as an

1191
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 2: economic zone, and when you're selling citizenship, it starts to

1192
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 2: feel more and more like there's there should To me,

1193
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 2: there should be something more about America than just this

1194
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: is a place where you can have assets make money

1195
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 2: and that you know, there should be something like we

1196
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 2: agree we could be. I mean I could be. I

1197
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 2: think you're too old now, Clay, but I could still

1198
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 2: be drafted. You know, like there's something more to this country.

1199
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 2: That's why you want me going in first on the

1200
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 2: ice thing. You got too many good years of life.

1201
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 2: Yet I gotta take the I gotta take the bullet

1202
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 2: to the chest. Oh man, So we'll see. I'm very curious.

1203
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 2: Let's let's open this one. This is a real talker.

1204
01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 2: I think this is a fascinating idea from Trump. Have

1205
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: you ever heard it discussed ever?

1206
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 1: Never? No, not really No.

1207
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 2: So forur and against fur and against Trump's five million dollars.

1208
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 2: Instead of a green card, he's calling it a gold card.

1209
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 2: What do you think about it? Eight hundred two way

1210
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 2: two two eight a two.

1211
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: It's like the golden ticket from Willy Wonka, except you

1212
01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: have to buy it instead of getting it out of

1213
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,840
Speaker 1: the chocolate bar. What a great movie that was, Bye

1214
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: back of the way, back in the day. I want

1215
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: to tell you we're talking about saving money. We're talking

1216
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: about the fact that the country's thirty six trillion dollars in debt.

1217
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 1: How many of you out there are just trying to

1218
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: save money on your credit card bill? If you are

1219
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: on your credit card bill, everybody, but on your phone bill.

1220
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: How many of you out there are paying way too

1221
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: much for your cell phone service if you don't have Puretalk.

1222
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: I think the answer is a ton of you are,

1223
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: And right now, Pure Talk's got a great offer for

1224
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: anybody who wants to save money on their cell phone bills.

1225
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: I've got two boys, teenagers. They don't get phones until

1226
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: they're fourteen years old, but they both have pure Talk

1227
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: phones now. I use it to get in touch with them.

1228
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:41,200
