Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: Welcome everybody to the Tuesday edition of The Clay Travis

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: and Buck Sexton Show. We are racked and stacked. Much

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: to discuss here. Thanks for coming in, Thanks for hanging out.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 2: Immigration hearing up on Capitol Hill, giving some numbers, adding

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: some numbers to the enforcement operations that have been the

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: center of a lot of attention recently with regard to

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: ICE operations in Minneapolis and elsewhere. Customs and Border Patrol

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: Commissioner Rodney Scott Clay I remember he showed me around

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: years ago when he was working CBP in the San

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: Diego sector, So I got a whole deep dive into

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: what was going on in San Diego, into the first

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: Trump administration, rather San Diego sector of the border. So

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, that's nice duty. Go to

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: the border, then you're up in La Jolla for dinner.

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: It's very nice part of the country. San Diego is

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 2: I feel like, doesn't get all the credit that it deserves.

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: But you get to be right there on the border

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: with Tijuana, and you got a lot of crossings, a

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: lot of stuff going on, a lot of cartel activity

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: other side as soon as you cross over into America

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: and into south part of southern California.

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: Man, that's that's beautiful. It's really really nice.

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: I feel like San Diego people are just trying to

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: keep it on the down low so more people don't

27
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: just pile into it because it's a great spot anyway.

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: I remember hanging out with Rodney there, So we've got that.

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 2: We've got. I'm surprised you didn't jump in on La Joya.

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: I feel like that should be the next place for

31
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: a Travis Castle to be built. You know, La Joya

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: is really nice. I'm gonna be honest with you, California

33
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: is beautiful. With the way they're taxing people, I don't

34
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: want to give them any any entree point to coming

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: after me for taxes at all. And I think owning

36
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: property there would probably probably be a tough one to

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: to avoid. Buck, I'm like you, I'm mean, I'm in

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: a free state. We got zero state income tax in Tennessee.

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: I'm never leaving here. You're down in Florida. I spend

40
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: a decent amount of time in Florida also zero income tax.

41
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: By the way, there's a lot of super rich guys

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: with way more money than we'll ever have that are

43
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: also looking at this and saying, hey, well that's gonna

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: be our That's gonna be I think our top story.

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna get into this in just a second, So

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: put put a pin in this. Because California the tax

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: is the reality of what's happening in America. Major, major

48
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: moves afoot. We're going to dive into that. I think

49
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: we also have Do we have Steve Hilton with us today,

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: cubernatorial candidate? Yeah, because I was in California all last week, Buck,

51
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: and I texted you and told you in my old

52
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: man move of reading all the local newspapers in print,

53
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: the primary is soon. We're gonna be down in Texas

54
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: in early March, in San Antonio and Austin and in

55
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: Houston for the Texas primary.

56
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: But we are just.

57
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 2: A couple of months away from the primary in California,

58
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: which is going to be hugely important and is wide open.

59
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: There's no you know, nobody out there who's taken a

60
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: massive early lead in this. We've also got in the

61
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: just in the hopper today stories you want to get

62
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: to a little more on the Save Act, more on

63
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: the Epstein files. I think Clay actually has some important

64
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: takes to share on where all of this is.

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: Going and the way.

66
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: The way there are elements of the media that are

67
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: just being so dishonest. Look, if you're looking at who

68
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: was really involved with Epstein and involved in ways and

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: at periods of time where, if not anything criminal, certainly

70
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: a lot of eyebrows should be raised and a lot

71
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: of a lot of stink eye should be given. It's

72
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: really Democrats pretty much cross the board something that and

73
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: I know people say, oh, why make this partisan? Will One,

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: it's true, we're observing reality. And two, Clay, they are desperate,

75
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: They're desperate to try to make this seem like, oh

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: it's really And more information came about Trump and his

77
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: feelings about Epstein, and guess what, once again, Trump actually

78
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: is very clearly the good guy in this situation, which

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: we told you all along. Okay, there was nothing. There

80
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: was never a whiff of Trump impropriety whatsoever from anyone

81
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 2: who knew of anyone. I mean, you know the guy, Yeah,

82
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: he likes beautiful ladies. He likes ladies, okay, and he

83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: was actually willing to call out Epstein's crap before a

84
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: lot of other people were so will we will get

85
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: into all of that over the course of the show today.

86
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: But I actually I will bring us back to California

87
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: in our conversation because, as I was saying, you know,

88
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean southern California, California in general is an amazing

89
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: piece of property, just as a geographic location tough to beat.

90
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: I mean, people could make their case for other places,

91
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: but in terms of weather, in terms of natural beauty,

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: varied climate, rather very you know, ecological, you can go skiing,

93
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: you'd be at the beach, you do all these things.

94
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: It's an amazing place. It's been ruined by the libs.

95
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: Let's just get right to this now. It's still a

96
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: nice place to live. And I understand they're not like

97
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: giving away houses in Newport Beach. I understand that there's

98
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of wealth and the concentration of money there.

99
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: But Clay, I.

100
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: Give you this story in the Wall Street Journal, which

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: was getting a lot of attention down here in South

102
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: Florida yesterday. Billionaire Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife

103
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 2: Priscilla Chan are purchasing a newly completed waterfront mansion on

104
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: Miami's Indian Creek, the latest California billionaire to buy a

105
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: home in South Florida, Clay Zuckerberg, Britain Page Teal Elon.

106
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: Those names, and there's probably others I'm not even thinking

107
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: of right now, or you know, I mean, you look

108
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: at from Chicago, for example, Ken Griffin. These are among

109
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: the richest people, and certainly in the case of the names,

110
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: Elon is the richest. These are the richest people on

111
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: the planet, and they are leaving California across the board

112
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: to go to. You mentioned tax free states like Florida particularly,

113
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: but other places as well. Texas certainly comes to mind,

114
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: a Tennessee comes to mind. And California is not going

115
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: to be able to pay its bills. We've been saying

116
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: this for years. We've done the show almost five years,

117
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 2: that five years in June. California's policies are insane and unsustainable.

118
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: Yes it is, and this I think is going to

119
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: end up being the biggest the legacy of COVID, And

120
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how many people out there have really

121
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time thinking about it, but the

122
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: data increasingly is still showing it. People learned that they

123
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: could live in many different places and still do their

124
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: jobs just as well because technology had evolved, as they

125
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: could have by staying in the location that they've lived

126
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: in for a long time. I don't know that big

127
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: finance guys in New York and Chicago and LA would

128
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: have risk moving to Arizona and Texas and Florida and Tennessee.

129
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: But for the fact that COVID happened, there was no

130
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: point in going into the offices. And then they suddenly realized,

131
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: wait a minute, we can communicate and be just as

132
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: effective elsewhere, and what's going to happen here is going

133
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: to be hugely transformative. All of these people's money suddenly

134
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: relocates to a low tax jurisdiction of Florida, Tennessee and

135
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: a Texas for example. I'm using it examples, but there's

136
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: lots of other states low tax out there. All of

137
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: the benefits of their money and of the money that

138
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: follows them then moves to the new state, and the great, huge,

139
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: expensive albatross of government that has been built on the

140
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: large s to a large degree of these multi billionaires

141
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 2: doesn't exist anymore. Buck, I think this kind of goes

142
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: to it in essence, and this is your life path too.

143
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: You've talked about this before. Roughly Florida and New York

144
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: have similar populations, right, roughly similar populations.

145
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Florida is a little bigger, about two million more.

146
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: New York has a government that costs over twice as much,

147
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: a state government that costs over twice as much as Florida.

148
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: You have lived in both places.

149
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: Which do you think is the better and more efficient government,

150
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: Florida or New York. I mean, it's it's preposterous to

151
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: even speak of them in the same breath in terms

152
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: of the clay And it's really things that mattered, just

153
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: things like the efficiency of government here. You know, the

154
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: efficiency of oh I got to pay my property taxes,

155
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: or oh I got to go to the DMV or everything.

156
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 2: Everything is better managed here, across the board. Everything is

157
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: more sensible.

158
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 3: Now.

159
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: It's not perfect, and in Miami in particular, it's a

160
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: whole other thing. We've got some issues. But it's just

161
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 2: as a state, this is this place is run under Rondasantis.

162
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: This place is run like there are adults in charge

163
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: who understand math and also know that they're supposed to

164
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: serve the people. The sense you get, especially in New

165
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: York City, is you are like a cow to be milked. Yeah,

166
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: you're not a citizen. You are not there to be

167
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: provided services by the government. You are the provider of

168
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: the services with your labor. You are to be worked.

169
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: You are a very highly paid surf. We'll talk with

170
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: Steve Hilton about this in the third hour. But the

171
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: tax situation in particular California, saying we're going after the wealthiest,

172
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: a lot of them have just decided I'm out, and

173
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: that money again is moving to a state like Florida,

174
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: to a state like Texas, to a state like Tennessee.

175
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: The jobs are going to follow, and I just I

176
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: think these blue states are in for a significant, significant

177
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 2: issue because a lot of people are getting fed up

178
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: and the people who have the most resources are the

179
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 2: best able to move.

180
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: And so this is gonna be big.

181
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: Now, we talked about it in the context of twenty

182
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: thirty when they redo the census. First of all, they

183
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: screwed up the twenty twenty census and undercounted red states.

184
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: But in the twenty thirty census, I think that's going

185
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: to be virtually impossible to ignore, and the political power

186
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: is going to move even more to red states, to

187
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: the South in particular, and this is a story that

188
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 2: I don't think Democrats have thought a lot about. You're

189
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: going to be unable to get elected president of the

190
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: United States without winning red states, right, You're going to

191
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: have to break in to the South, and you're going

192
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: to have to figure out a way to win southern states.

193
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: You're going to have to win Arizona, remember, in twenty thirty,

194
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: twenty thirty two, which will be the first presidential race

195
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: after the census of twenty thirty.

196
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: The pathway of.

197
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: Winning Pennsylvania, Michigan and win Wisconsin, the so called blue wall,

198
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: it doesn't exist anymore.

199
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: Now.

200
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: Trump won Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin in twenty twenty four,

201
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: and you can argue those states are moving to the

202
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: red anyway. I mean, I think there's an argument there.

203
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: But even with that pathway, even if Democrats swept the

204
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: board there by, once that the twenty thirty census is

205
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: put in place, that pathway is not going to exist anymore.

206
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: So this is this is going to be a big deal,

207
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: and I think it's only going to accelerate. And the

208
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: states like Florida and Texas and Tennessee with zero income

209
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: tax are going to grow and orders of magnitude, and

210
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: states like Illinois, New York, and California are going to

211
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: hemorrhage the most valuable in terms of taxpayer population out there. Well,

212
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: people also realize, and I learned this very much in

213
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: New York City, that the first obligation of the people

214
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: in charge in these blue states, of the political apparatus,

215
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: the elected officials, but also the bureaucracy, is to make

216
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 2: sure that the massive welfare payments continue. That's their first obligation.

217
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: They'll you know, they'll cut fire and police before they'll

218
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: cut giving people free stuff because the people with the

219
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: free stuff vote for them, right, and the fire and

220
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: police and these other things, eh, I mean, we don't

221
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: have to talk about defund the police, which was a

222
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 2: Blue state madness in particular, but those are widely distributed problems.

223
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: That makes it worse for everybody. Got to keep the

224
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: free stuff going. People are getting tired of this man,

225
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: and I think people are seeing more and more in

226
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 2: places like New York and California. You know, there's all

227
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: these stories play out about in New York City, private

228
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: schools now for kids, grammar school everybody. I'm talking first grade,

229
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: fifth grade, nursery school seventy thousand dollars a year. Now,

230
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: you might say that's complete. I saw that story, Buck.

231
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: I actually told Laura about it last night we were

232
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 2: getting ready to bed. There's seven of them, I think

233
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: it is in New York City or at a charge,

234
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: and all the others are gonna they're all gonna start

235
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: raising their prices too. But you see, the public school

236
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 2: system in New York City is trash. Unfortunately, unless you

237
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: can test into an elite school, there's a number of them.

238
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: The public school system is bad. It is a You

239
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: cannot get a good education in a lot of the

240
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: New York City public school system. By the way, it's

241
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: not about resources. I've been in some of these schools.

242
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: They they have fancy new laptops and blah blah. Everything's

243
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 2: it's because the teachers spend all the time trying to

244
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: get the kids to be quiet and pay attention. Yeah,

245
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 2: and the parents don't care. And it's daycare. It's daycare

246
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: for unruly kids. So you're never gonna learn anything. My point, though, Clay,

247
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 2: is how is this sustainable? How are you in these

248
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: major cities the cost of living if you're earning money,

249
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: if you're not really rich or a dependent on the state.

250
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: How can you make this work? The answer is you can.

251
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 2: The worst is to be somebody making like two hundred

252
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 2: five hundred grand or one hundred and fifty to five

253
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: hundred grand in a city, which I know for some

254
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 2: of you're like I live in Oklahoma. That's a ton

255
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: of money, not a lot of money in New York City.

256
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: You need to make about twice as much in New

257
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: York City as you do for other metro areas, excluding

258
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: a few high priced ones like Miami, LA. But this

259
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: is just not the math. Doesn't math, as they say, Clay,

260
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: and the math is going to start to really not math.

261
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: For California, they their budget projection, which is a three

262
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: billion dollars shortfall for the next fiscal year. Well, that

263
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: takes into account the billionaires continuing to pay a lot

264
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: on their you know, on stock that they sell and

265
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: on their capital gains, and all they can't afford their

266
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: state budget without Silicon Valley.

267
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: It's all.

268
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: This is one hundred percent Troy. And I think it's

269
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: gonna shift in a hurry. I mean, who was it

270
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: who said recently Miami's gonna replace New York as the

271
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: new financial capital of the United States. It's an aggressive statement,

272
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: but as you were very smart, I might have said that.

273
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: I might not just kidding. Someone else said it more

274
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: eminent financial mind. But I agree with that.

275
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: You look at some of these wealthy guys relocating, the

276
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: jobs and the resources and the assets that surround them

277
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: are going to follow. I would be in I would

278
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: be panicked if I was New York City, if I

279
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: was Chicago, if I was California, I would think so

280
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: all right, making plans now for the long term, it's

281
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: a smart move. It's always the way to approach things.

282
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 4: Right.

283
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: Gold, my friends, gold makes a lot of sense. I've

284
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: just bought more gold. Look at the price of gold,

285
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: up over sixty percent in the last twelve months. Over

286
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: the last twenty years though, it's up seven hundred percent,

287
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: and that's just gold.

288
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: So if you have.

289
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: Gold, if you bought gold twenty years ago and held it,

290
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: you're up seven x. And it's not like you're in

291
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: and out. Oh what do I do with my gold? No,

292
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 2: you just buy it, you hold it because gold is

293
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: a store of value. It has been for all of

294
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: human civilization. And look, money printing is still happening. Still

295
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: have these concerns. It's not crypto that people are using

296
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: as the long term store of value. That's pretty obvious. Gold,

297
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 2: my friends go with Birch Gold Group and can also

298

Speaker 2: show on Fox News and just from being a voice

312
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: of sanity amidst the madness of the Golden State. Mister Hilton,

313
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: we have all kinds of questions for you today, but

314
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: I need to start with this one because we talked

315
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 2: about the top of the show I got a new neighbor.

316
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 2: I mean, his house is a lot bigger and more

317
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: expensive than mine, and it's a couple miles down the road.

318
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: But I have a new neighbor in Mark Zuckerberg, the

319
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: latest megabillionaire to flee your home state.

320
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom still not getting the message on this, Apparently.

321
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 5: It's unbelievable. By the way, I love the music intro

322
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 5: as well, smooth operate. I don't know, I kind of

323
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 5: think that's kind of newsome, but you know, I'll take

324
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 5: it a bit of shade there to get us going. Look,

325
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 5: it's just insane, isn't it. They just are working over

326
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 5: time to destroy everything that may California at once the

327
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 5: greatest place on earth to start and raise a family,

328
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 5: to start and run a business. They're just doing whatever

329
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 5: they can. The latest insanity is this asset seizure scheme

330
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 5: that the unions have come up with. They call it

331
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 5: the Billionaires Taxes. Basically insane, unconstitutional, totally Unamerican. But the

332
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 5: threat of it, this threat before they get it on

333
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 5: the ballot, which they're trying to do, has already caused

334
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 5: one trillion dollars of wealth to leave the state. So

335
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 5: these genies who have put this forward in the name

336
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 5: of we need more money for health care. That's the rationale.

337
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 5: By the way, they'd have a lot more money for

338
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 5: healthcare if they didn't have twenty billion dollars a year

339
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 5: spent on free healthcare for illegal immigrants, which I would

340
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 5: stop as governor anyway, in the name of raising more money.

341
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 5: They've already lost billions of dollars in tax revenue even

342
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 5: before they enact this insanity as people are leaving the state.

343
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 5: I mean, this is why. Actually, I'm really confident we're

344
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 5: going to do it this year. It's twenty years since

345
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 5: a Republican was last elected statewide in California. But the

346
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 5: insanity is so extreme now, the damage is so great,

347
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 5: people are suffering so much. I really think we're going

348
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 5: to vote for change this year, and I'm going to

349
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 5: be the By the time we speak this time next year,

350
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 5: I'll be the governor.

351
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: I hope that that is correct.

352
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: And I texted you because I was out in California

353
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: for the past week, Los Angeles and San Francisco super

354
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: Bowl going on. I know you've got something that you've

355
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 2: put out that you're going to do for athletes out there.

356
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 2: I'll get to that, but I think a lot of

357
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: people are going to have some of these primary sneak

358
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: up on them. We're going to be down in Texas

359
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: in March. I mean, I think voting in Texas starts

360
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: next week for their primary. That's early voting. In fact,

361
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: I know it does. But I believe the California primary

362
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: is also early. It's in May. I think you walk

363
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: us through this, but it's not partisan. And basically, two

364
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 2: people I think advanced tell us how this works.

365
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: Because I was.

366
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: Reading all about it and it snuck up on me

367
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 2: and I said, oh, we need to have Steve on

368
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 2: because I don't think a lot of Californians even are aware.

369
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: I know you had the debate, you did great in it,

370
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,239
Speaker 2: but for people out there, what is the status of

371
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 2: this race and how does it work?

372
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 5: So it's really important everyone understands this because the stakes

373
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 5: are pretty high in two directions. All if things go well,

374
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 5: we beat the Democrats in their absolute stronghold, and that

375
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 5: will send shockwaves through the modern left because so much

376
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 5: of the nonsense the whole country had to deal with.

377
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 5: The gender extremis, the climate extreme is all this nonsense.

378
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 5: It starts in California, and so it's a really big

379
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 5: opportunity for the whole country, but it could go the

380
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 5: wrong way because of the structure of this race, which

381
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 5: is this top two system, which is that the top

382
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 5: two finishes in the primary, regardless of party, go through.

383
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 5: And right now there's a possibility that you'll end up

384
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 5: with two Democrats in the top two, which would be

385
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 5: an absolute travesty. The reason for that is that you've

386
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 5: got a new entrant into the race, the mayor of

387
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 5: San Jose, who's picking up a lot of money from

388
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 5: the tech community. They're going to push him up there.

389
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 5: And then one or other of the other two strong

390
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 5: Democrats in the lead now on their side, Eric Swolwell,

391
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 5: if you can believe it, and Katie Porter she's still

392
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 5: in there, I know, but she's still there. One or

393
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 5: other of those is going to emerge as the Union

394
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 5: back candidate. So there's a real possibility you will get

395
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 5: two Democrats if on the Republican side the situation doesn't change,

396
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: which is right now. You know, people look at the

397
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 5: polls and say, this is great news. You've got two

398
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 5: Republicans in the top two. Myself and my main Republican

399
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 5: challenger Chad Bianco, the sheriff of Riverside County. In most

400
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 5: of the polls for the last couple of months, one

401
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 5: and two has been me and him, and people look

402
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 5: at that and say, that's great, We'll have two Republicans

403
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 5: in the top two. That is ridiculous. The Democrat machine

404
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 5: will never let that happen. And so I argued very

405
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 5: strongly in the first TV debate, which was last week,

406
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 5: that we've got to get behind one Republican candidate otherwise

407
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 5: we'll get locked out. And I made the case that

408
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 5: you can't have the other guy, Chad Bianco for those

409
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 5: who don't know, he's a sheriff and Riverside County. People

410
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 5: like the sound of that. But actually, during the George

411
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 5: Floyd protest, the riots and the BLM rights in twenty twenty,

412
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 5: this guy took a knee for BLM. He took a

413
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 5: knee and it's all there on video pictures. Are there,

414
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 5: the videos there. We put it up on a website

415
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: blmbianco dot org. If anyone doesn't believe what I'm saying,

416
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 5: whole story about how he was praying and whatever. And

417
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 5: my argument is we can't go in to the election

418
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 5: with a candidate with that much baggage, and so this

419
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 5: is the time we've got to get serious about this race.

420
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 5: We've got to get behind a Republican candidate like myself.

421
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 5: I've got the business experience, the government reform experience, the

422
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 5: policy expertise. I'm experienced on the national stage. I won

423
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 5: that debate massively. The audience poll had me winning at

424
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 5: sixty six percent. The nearest was another Democrat seventeen percent.

425
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 5: It was me against six Democrats. The other Republican guy

426
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 5: didn't show up. And I think this is our year.

427
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 5: We can really do it if we just take this seriously,

428
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 5: focus on the race, get behind one Republican, and I

429
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 5: think we can beat these people after the disastrous sixteen

430
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 5: years now of one party rule.

431
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 2: Speaking of that disaster, Steve, we're speaking of Steve Hilton, everybody.

432
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: He is running and he is serious about it, running

433
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 2: for governor of California, your state, which Clay and I

434
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 2: both love. As much as we criticize the governance of it.

435
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: We feel like it's under occupation. It's like under communist occupation,

436
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: and we have to liberate it. But electricity bills New

437
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: York Post are this piece despite thirty nine percent over

438
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 2: six years. Why, well, what are they doing in your

439
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: well like, because that really affects people that can't afford

440
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: that kind of mad, mad increase in their in their

441
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 2: cost every month.

442
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 5: Well, it comes from the same source as the other

443
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 5: massive thing that's hurting working people in small business in particular,

444
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 5: which is gas prices. So we have the highest gas

445
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 5: prices in the country, including Hawaii, even though we have

446
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 5: abundant oil reserves right here in California, higher gas prices

447
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 5: than the middle I mean this morning literally we took

448
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 5: a picture. We're gonna put it out on social media.

449
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 5: LA gas price in LA. I'm right now in Pasadena

450
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 5: speaking to six ninety one six dollars ninety one gas

451
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 5: this morning in La. So it's that you got that going.

452
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 5: On electric bills, they've actually more than doubled in the

453
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 5: last ten years, and we have the highest electric bills

454
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 5: in the country everywhere except Hawaii, both driven by their

455
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 5: insane climate crusade, which is just forcing up the price

456
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 5: that you ask specifically about electric, the reason is they're

457
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 5: forcing utilities to use solar and wind, which is incredibly expensive.

458
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 5: The windmills are just a joke. The next scheme that

459
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 5: they have is literally, I'm going to say it and

460
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 5: you will think I'm joking. They want floating windmills twenty

461
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 5: miles off the coast of California floating because the ocean's

462
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 5: kind of deep that far out. These are one thousand

463
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 5: feet high. That's like the height of the Eiffel Tower.

464
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 5: They want ten thousand floating Iifel towers off the coast.

465
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 5: It's just insane, and they have to think about the

466
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 5: cost of that. The solar farms they claim are cheaper,

467
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 5: but they don't count the fact that you need batteries

468
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 5: to make solar work because the sun doesn't shine at night,

469
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 5: so all this is driving up the cost. Meanwhile, we've

470
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 5: got a fleet of gas fired power stations in California

471
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 5: that are being used ten to fifteen percent capacity. They

472
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 5: are literally sitting there idol in favor of wind and solar.

473
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 5: And also, we have abundant gas reserves in California that

474
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 5: we could be using to generate electricity, but they won't

475
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 5: do it because of their obsession with climate. It's totally insane.

476
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 5: And the people that are being crushed exactly as you said,

477
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 5: the people who can least afford this stuff. That's why

478
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 5: I think we're going and I think the revolution is

479
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 5: exactly the right analogy. That's what's going to happen this year.

480
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 5: I often make that point. My show on Fox was

481
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 5: called the Next Revolution. This year is going to be

482
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 5: the California Revolution, because I just can't go on like this.

483
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: We had Doug Bergham on the show yesterday, Interior Secretary,

484
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: and I asked him directly because we get so many

485
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: questions and I just came back from California about the

486
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: cost of energy and gas and everything else and how

487
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: it's hitting people in their pocketbook. And you can just

488
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 2: compare what you guys have to pay in California with

489
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: much of the rest of the nation, and it's clear

490
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 2: that there is a flawed energy ecosystem there. It's also

491
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: clear there's a flawed taxes. Steve, and we're talking to

492
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: Steve Hilton, running for Governor's Republican in California.

493
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: The primary is soon.

494
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: When you look at the tax situation, but just mentioned

495
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: Front Page News, Wall Street Journal, Zuckerberg has become the

496
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: latest billionaire to buy a home in a different state

497
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: because of the tax situation there. You mentioned the super

498
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 2: Bowl was just played a couple days ago in San Francisco.

499
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: There's actually a huge tax on people who come into

500
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 2: the state of California to play sports, and it kind

501
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: of cuts through the noise and a lot of people

502
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 2: are aware of it. Explain what you set out to

503
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 2: do yesterday as part of your tax reform bill. You're

504
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: also going to the highly skilled people who come into

505
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 2: the state.

506
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 5: Explain exactly, well, we're just driving people away. So the

507
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 5: first point I'd make is that you know, we have

508
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 5: the highest tax broadly, the highest taxes in the country,

509
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 5: and the worst results on everything. If you actually look

510
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 5: at every single measure, with fiftieth out of fifty states,

511
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 5: it's not an exaggeration, it's incredible. We pay the most

512
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 5: and we get the least. Then you dig into the

513
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 5: specifics working people, you know under That's why the first

514
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 5: line of my tax plan is to help workers in California.

515
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 5: Your first one hundred grand tax free. Now people may

516
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 5: be listening around the country, is one hundred grand. That's

517
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 5: kind of high. Not in California. You've got at least

518
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 5: six counties in California where one hundred grand is now

519
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 5: the official poverty level because costs are so high. And

520
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 5: yet you're paying nine percent tax even at one hundred grand.

521
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 5: It's just ridiculous. Then you get into these specific ones

522
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 5: like the athlete tax some people call it the jock tax,

523
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 5: which is you know, happens around the country, but it's

524
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 5: totally punitive in California. And you have the specific case

525
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 5: this year of Sam Donold, who ended up losing money

526
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 5: for winning the Super Bowl because of this ridiculous tax

527
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 5: in California based on the number of days he was

528
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 5: in the state. I mean, what are we trying to do?

529
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 5: Just drive people away? Literally, that is the effect of

530
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 5: all this, their insatiable demand for more and more money

531
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 5: for their bottomless money pit where get the worst outcomes

532
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 5: for all of this. It's got to stop. So I

533
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 5: specifically said that's going to change next year. I mean

534
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 5: you already saw, based on this particular situation with Sam

535
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 5: that you've got former players saying as long as this

536
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 5: stays the same, no more super Bowls in California. Now,

537
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 5: actually we're scheduled to have it next year as well

538
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 5: in LA. And so I said very specifically, by the

539
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 5: time the next Super Bowl comes around, I will be

540
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 5: the governor and I will send in my first budget

541
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 5: a proposal to end this whole scam, because we cannot

542
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 5: be in a situation where hardworking, talented people are fear

543
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 5: to come to California because it's going to cost the money,

544
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 5: they're going to lose more than they make. That's what

545
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 5: happened to Sam Donald this year, because we're insane. Taxism

546
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,959
Speaker 5: is a perfect it's a great story that broke because

547
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 5: everyone can sid of see it captures very clearly the

548
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 5: insanity of our system.

549
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: What is the truth of the budget as I see it?

550
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 2: That the projection for fiscal year twenty six to seven,

551
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: I guess now is for California to only be that

552
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: they'd say it's close to revenue neutral at like maybe

553
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: a two or three.

554
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: Billion dollar deficit. Is that realistic? Okay? I had a

555
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: feeling it was a total bid.

556
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 5: Let's just go through the numbers. So the first point, again,

557
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 5: what's the context here. They've doubled, nearly doubled the budget

558
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 5: of the state of California in the last five years. Okay,

559
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 5: So the budget that Gavin Knwsom just put forward was

560
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 5: three hundred and fifty three hundred and forty nine billion,

561
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 5: called it three hundred and fifty billion dollars. Right five

562
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 5: years ago it was one hundred and eighty. They've nearly

563
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 5: doubled the budget, and yet everything is worse. Homelessness, worse,

564
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 5: school results, worse the roads, everything. We literally have fifty

565
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 5: out of fifty on all these measures across the country

566
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 5: and things have got worse, and yet they've spent twice

567
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 5: as much money. Then you look at the actual budget deficit,

568
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 5: it's all a scam. He actually went into this budget

569
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 5: round with an eighteen billion dollar deficit, and of course

570
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 5: the state can't run a deficit, so they've plugged the gap.

571
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 5: Some of that was shifted around by moving things to

572
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 5: future years so that it's just basically accounting tricks like

573
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 5: paying people in July, you know, the beginning of July

574
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 5: and skipping a month so that you shift some spending

575
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 5: into into the following fiscal year. Stuff like that. And

576
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 5: then the most egregious thing is taking money from the reserves,

577
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: right the rainy day funders, it's known, which have been

578
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 5: built up over the years that is specifically designed for

579
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 5: when we're in a recession and revenues collapse and you

580
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 5: need to keep programs going. But they're stealing that money

581
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 5: now our savings, basically to plug the hole in this

582
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 5: ballooning spending that is actually not even delivering results. In fact,

583
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 5: the opposite is delivering worse results because it's all going

584
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 5: I mean, now we get to the whole question of fraud.

585
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I started this fraud tip line just at

586
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 5: the you know, when the Minnesota scandal broke at the

587
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 5: end of last year, califraud dot com. From the tips

588
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 5: coming in, we made an estimate that we have two

589
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty billion dollars cumulative of fraud just in

590
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 5: the last five years or so in California. Two hundred

591
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 5: and fifty billion dollars. And then I launched about ten

592
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 5: days ago a team that are going to really we

593
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 5: launched our version of DOSE. We call it cow Doze

594
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 5: the California Department of Government Efficiency. We've already unearthed just

595
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 5: by using AI to go through the budget numbers. We're

596
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 5: going to have our first announcement this week, specific numbers

597
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 5: on fraud that we've uncovered. Last week, I publicized one

598
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 5: of the tips that we're getting, which is insane but

599
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 5: totally in line with what you expect in California because

600
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 5: of Gavin. You since twenty billion dollars free healthcare for

601
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 5: illegal immigrants, which I would stop. You've now got Mexican

602
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 5: citizens living in Mexico claiming health benefits in California posing

603
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 5: as illegal immigrants. So you've got fake illegal immigrants claiming

604
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 5: health care money funded by California tax bids. It's just

605
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 5: off the charts, lunacy.

606
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: Last question for you, as we go to break really quickly,

607
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: when do people start voting?

608
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 5: So it's just that this is May exactly as you said.

609
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 5: So the election is actually June the second, but the

610
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 5: ballots go out because we have this ridiculous you know,

611
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 5: election month in California. So really from the middle of April,

612
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 5: people really have to start, you know, king in. But

613
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 5: the election is now. You know, I want us to

614
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 5: get behind one Republican candidate now seriously, so that we

615
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 5: can take the fight to the Democrats. And that's why

616
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 5: anyone who wants to get involved or support me or

617
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 5: spread the word, this is the moment to do it.

645
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 4: Thank you, Buck, It's always great to be with you. Clay.

646
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 4: Good to see you both.

647
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: All right, So it would be grant if you could

648
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: walk us through a little bit here of what exactly

649
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: is going on with the FCC with Verizon. Verizon's got

650
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: a probe about well your phone records. Take us through this,

651
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: because I don't think a lot of people know the backstory,

652
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: and it's important stuff, but we need to educate ourselves here,

653
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 2: including us here on the show, about exactly what you're

654
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 2: facing here.

655
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: So take us through this.

656
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 4: Certainly, buck Well.

657
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: If you go back to twenty twenty three, this is

658
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 3: when the Biden administration weaponized every aspect of the government

659
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 3: to try to block Donald Trump, to try to destroy

660
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,240
Speaker 3: his candidacy for president, to go after their political opponents.

661
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 3: And it wasn't just President Trump, it was also his allies.

662
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 3: So no surprise. Within days of President Trump announcing that

663
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 3: he is running for president in twenty twenty four race,

664
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 3: the Biden administration brings in Jack Smith initiating this program

665
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 3: called Arctic Frost, where initially they go to mar Lago.

666
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 3: The document search that they undertook there, that invasive process

667
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 3: made for TV again trying to smear President Trump, trying

668
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 3: to hurt him. And just days after that, Jack Smith's

669
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 3: team requested the phone records for myself and several other

670
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 3: U S senators again allies of President Trump, all of

671
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: US Republicans, that's one thing that we had in common.

672
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 3: But they went after our phone records again in an

673
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 3: attempt to, I presume, go after President Trump's allies, go

674
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 3: after President Trump's friends. They records for a number of

675
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 3: days that we're surrounding the January sixth incident back in

676
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. Again Jack Smith is looking for anything

677
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: that he can do to discredit President Trump or his allies.

678
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 4: I presume.

679
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 3: The sad part is the Senate's process is constitutionally protected.

680
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,959
Speaker 3: We are not supposed to be invaded in this manner,

681
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 3: and if we are, we're supposed to be informed of it.

682
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 3: What happened was Verizon willfully, gladly handed over my phone records,

683
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 3: even more information than was requested. And if you think

684
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 3: about that. Why would they have done this? As I

685
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: dug into it further, I find out that Verizon's chief

686
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: legal law officers a former staffer for one Henry Waxman,

687
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 3: one of the most partisan Democrats from California to ever

688
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 3: serve in the halls of the US Congress. You've got

689
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 3: this activist operating there in the halls of corporate America,

690
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 3: more than willing to cooperate and collaborate with the Biden

691
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 3: administration to try to harm Republicans and to try to

692
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 3: harm President Trump, to coalesce around this strategy they called

693
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 3: Arctic Frost, to try to take down President Trump, and

694
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 3: to see Verizon step up and do this, and to

695
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 3: see the again law enforcement weaponized in the way that

696
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 3: it has been absolutely terrible. I'm doing this so Verizon

697
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 3: never does this to the American public. But if you

698
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 3: think about it, if they would do this to a

699
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 3: sitting senator, if Verizon would hand over our phone records

700
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 3: without telling us, violate our due process, violate the Constitution,

701
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 3: not put up any resistance because they have a political objective.

702
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: I presume if they're willing to do that to me,

703
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 3: what would they do to the rest of their customers,

704
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: and I have been a Verizon customer for decades and

705
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 3: for them to do this to me, I think was

706
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 3: just outrageous. But it would be even more so if

707
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 3: they begin doing this broadly to the general public. Then

708
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 3: we find out Jack Smith just continues to pursue this

709
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 3: sort of thing. And if corporations like Verizon decided to

710
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 3: align with partisan actors like this, I think it's terrible

711
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 3: for America. So I hope that the FCC will take

712
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 3: this very seriously. Verizon certainly did not take it seriously.

713
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: When I reached out to the CEO and the chief

714
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 3: legal officer, I pretty much got ignored. They had some

715
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 3: low level person responded to me. They didn't even respond

716
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,919
Speaker 3: to me directly after multiple attempts to communicate with them.

717
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 3: So now we'll see if the FCC has better results

718
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 3: again dealing with partisan operatives in these large corporations. I

719
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: don't think America needs this type of collaboration, This cooperation

720
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 3: aimed at Republicans, aimed at taking us down. It doesn't

721
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 3: stand in America. It's not going to stand, and I

722
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: hope the American public will feel better after the SEC

723
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 3: has had an opportunity to dig into.

724
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: This well appreciate Senator Haggerty joining us breaking down all

725
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: of this information will be on the ballot in November

726
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: in my home state of Tennessee. He has my support.

727
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 2: You've done a great job, Senator. I know you'll be

728
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,280
Speaker 2: campaigning and spend a lot of time on the road

729
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 2: this fall. Let me ask you this. You're talking about

730
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 2: the FCC and the importance of just trying to have

731
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 2: even handed treatment. There's been a lot of discussion about

732
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 2: the power of these big media companies, whether it's Verizon,

733
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 2: whether it's Netflix. What do you think about this Netflix

734
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers potential merger?

735
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: How much attention have you paid to it?

736
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 2: I know Netflix's CEO was on the hill I think

737
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 2: last week answering a lot of questions. Warner Brothers is

738
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 2: trying to sell itself. Netflix is bidding. Paramount's bidding for

739
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 2: all of us out there that are in the media ecosystem,

740
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: which is pretty much everybody. How concerned should we be

741
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 2: about the streaming era and the amount of power that

742
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: some of these companies are coming to Garner Well.

743
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 3: I'm not going to try to get ahead of the determination. Clay,

744
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 3: You're a great attorney. You understand all of this, but

745
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: I would say America ought to be quite concerned if

746
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 3: you look at the consolidation of power here, if you

747
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 3: look how the mainstream media has abused its position, how

748
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 3: it's abused its authorities, how they cover, you know, things

749
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: in a very one sided basis. I think we ought

750
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 3: to be asking some very serious questions here about the

751
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 3: degree and the extent of control that that might be

752
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: the result of this Pyper merger. I'm certain that there

753
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: will be a very thorough questioning that takes place, and

754
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 3: I look forward to the results of that.

755
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 4: But again, I'm not going to try to jump.

756
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 3: Ahead and prejudge the conclusion except to say I think

757
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: that that concerns are very well, very warranted.

758
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 2: How do you think we're looking center Haggerty in the

759
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 2: Senate going into this midterm election. You know this has

760
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 2: to do with more your possible future colleagues and which

761
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: side will control the Senate more than something that is

762
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: going to be phasing you. But do you have some

763
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 2: sense as to what you think it's looking like. I'm

764
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: sure or it's going to matter a whole off for

765
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 2: the second half of the Trump administration.

766
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 3: Certainly, buck Well, I think first and foremost with respect

767
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 3: to my own race. I'm taking this very seriously, running hard.

768
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 3: I will be all over the state, as Clay said,

769
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: and again garnering support. I feel like the people of

770
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 3: Tennessee are supportive of me. Going to make certain we

771
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 3: have a strong, solid turnout at home. That way, I

772
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 3: can be more effective helping my colleagues around the country.

773
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 3: And I'm optimistic about what we see around the country.

774
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: We've got open seats that I think could be great

775
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 3: possible pickups for us.

776
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 4: Think about Michigan. Mike Rodgers a great candidate.

777
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 3: He came extremely close in the last election two years ago.

778
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 3: I'm pleased that he stepped up again, but again it

779
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,479
Speaker 3: was just several thousand votes that he lost. By last

780
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 3: time I was with Mike this weekend.

781
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 4: He is on.

782
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 3: Message, ready to go, and I think the people of

783
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 3: Michigan we'll see in Mike a real leader, somebody that's

784
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 3: got great experience, and someone will be a great addition

785
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 3: to the United States Senator Senate. If you look at

786
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 3: at other states that we want to maintain, I think Maine,

787
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 3: North Carolina. These are always close states. But Susan Collins

788
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 3: is a terrific campaigner. We will be putting effort and

789
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 3: support behind making certain that Susan maintains that seat in Maine.

790
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: There's another opportunity in the northeast, and that's New Hampshire.

791
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 3: We see a real opportunity there with Senator Shaheen retiring.

792
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 3: New Hampshire a very independent state. If you look at

793
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 3: the rules there in New Hampshire, they have historically allowed

794
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 3: what they call same day registration of voting. This is

795
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 3: what's used on campus. I was there campaigning for General

796
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 3: Bulldock back in twenty twenty two, who ran and lost.

797
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 3: The same day I was there campaigning, Elizabeth Warren was

798
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,280
Speaker 3: over on the campus in the University of New Hampshire,

799
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 3: rousing up her students, her probably kids from Massachusetts, showing

800
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 3: them where to go to get the bus. They're going

801
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 3: to take them down to the polling station. All they

802
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 3: had to do is show their student ID. They can

803
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 3: register and vote that moment. This type of thing happened

804
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 3: when Kelly lost or seat. Thirty thousand of those same

805
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 3: day ballots were cast mainly by students, and Kelly loses

806
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 3: by twelve hundred votes. Those rules are being tightened up

807
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 3: right now. I think we've got a great candidate. We

808
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 3: have great, great candidate possibilities there. And John snud who

809
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 3: just came into the race. His name is well known.

810
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 3: I think we're going to have a real opportunity to

811
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 3: pick up New Hampshire.

812
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 4: You look at Georgia John Ossoff.

813
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 3: Again, hard for me to believe that John Ossoff could

814
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 3: be in a strong position in Georgia given the nature

815
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 3: of that state. I do not believe that Georgia is

816
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:32,479
Speaker 3: a blue state.

817
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 4: Osoff has voted.

818
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 3: Along every liberal line since he's been in the United

819
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 3: States Senate, so there's a possibility there. We've got a

820
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 3: three way primary going on in Georgia right now. We

821
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 3: need to see how that evolves. But as soon as

822
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 3: that primary is behind us, I think we've got another

823
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 3: opportunity in Georgia. We need to make certain that we

824
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 3: maintain North Carolina, that is a notoriously purple state.

825
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 4: Tom Tillis is retiring.

826
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 3: Michael Wattley, the Republican candidate, I think will be very strong.

827
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: Michael was the chairman of the RNCAN National Committee. He

828
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 3: understands campaign, he understands the mechanics of this work very well,

829
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 3: and he's going to be a very good candidate, strong candidate.

830
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 3: So I'm optimistic about what will happen there. In Iowa.

831
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 3: We're watching that race closely. Joni Ernst is retiring. It's

832
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 3: a state that I think we can carry. I think

833
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 3: we'll be in good stead. But again, we can't take

834
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 3: anything for granted. They say, if you're not running unopposed,

835
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 3: you should be running scared, And I think what we're

836
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 3: going to be doing is running hard at every step.

837
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: Senator Bill Haggerty with us.

838
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 2: One big topic of conversation that many people on our

839
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 2: show have been calling in and reacting to, is voter

840
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 2: ID and requiring it Nationwide. It's overwhelmingly popular, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic.

841
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: Everybody's in favor of it.

842
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 2: I saw one of your colleagues on the Democrat side,

843
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 2: John Fetterman, come out in favor of it. I imagine

844
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: the Republican core is all in favor of it. A

845
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 2: lot of people just think it's crazy that there would

846
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 2: not be a voter ID required to cast a ballot.

847
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: What's going to happen there and are you optimistic in

848
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 2: terms of anything being able to happen. We know the

849
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: filibuster is a major challenge.

850
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 3: Well, it shouldn't be a challenge, Clay. If you think

851
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 3: about it, this is a popular with more than eighty

852
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 3: percent of the public here in America. More than seventy

853
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 3: percent of Democrats agreed that there should be voter ID

854
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 3: presented because only citizens should be voting and you should

855
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 3: be able to demonstrate that you are an American citizen

856
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 3: to be able to exercise that right. Sadly, the Democrats

857
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 3: are not even listening to their own base. This is

858
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: all about power for them. They want to have the

859
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 3: rules as loose as possible. If you saw what they

860
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 3: tried back in twenty twenty one with HR one S one,

861
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 3: that major piece of legislation, the number one piece of

862
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 3: legislation that they had was again to loosen all the

863
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 3: voting roles, to do away with voter ID, to register

864
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 3: sixteen year olds to vote, to give the vote to felons,

865
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 3: and violation of the fourteenth Amendment, to force you as

866
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 3: taxpayers to pay six x what their small dollar contributions

867
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 3: would be to help fund campaigns and actually allow their

868
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 3: candidates to get a paycheck from these funds.

869
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 4: That is where the Democrats want to go with this.

870
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 3: What we would like to see as Republicans is just

871
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: a solid fundamental baseline, and that is you have to

872
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 3: be a citizen to vote. That doesn't mean that states

873
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 3: can't set the time, the place, of the method for voting.

874
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 3: That's provided for in the Constitution. But you should be

875
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 3: a US citizen. And that's something I've worked on with

876
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 3: other legislation. Every Democrat has opposed me when I've tried

877
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 3: to force the United States Senates since US to count

878
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 3: citizens and to only allow citizens to be utilized for

879
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 3: the apportionment of congressional districts and electoral votes.

880
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 4: The Democrats all against it.

881
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to hit that really quick here, and

882
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: I appreciate you coming on and we're talking to Senator

883
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 2: Bill Haggerty who's running for re election state of Tennessee.

884
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 2: He's got my vote. He's done a fantastic job. You

885
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: and I work texting about this. Verizon may know about

886
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: those texts, by the way, since they've been hacking your phone.

887
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: But the fact that we are counting illegal immigrants for

888
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 2: purposes of house districts and also for the apportionment of

889
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 2: electoral votes as a result, as you laid out, is

890
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 2: I think one of the great flaws of the way

891
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 2: that our country is set up right now and so

892
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 2: few people still understand it. Are you optimistic the Supreme

893
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 2: Court is going to eventually take this up? What in

894
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: your mind should happen there?

895
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 3: I certainly hope so, Clay, because I can't imagine the

896
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 3: founding fathers wanted people that are visiting this country to

897
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 3: be able to affect the allocation of congressional districts here

898
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 3: and therefore the allocation of electoral votes to count illegal

899
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 3: aliens as happens, you think about California with millions of

900
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 3: illegal aliens resident there, those illegal aliens are being counted.

901
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 3: California therefore has disproportionate power, if you will, and every

902
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 3: one of those aliens they don't even have to vote,

903
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 3: but they're shifting representation more congressional districts to that state

904
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 3: at the expense of states like our own in Tennessee.

905
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,760
Speaker 3: Tennessee was very close on the cusp of getting another

906
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 3: another congressional seat. We didn't get one. What happens as

907
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 3: these states set up electric as they set up sanctuary cities,

908
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 3: is a set up sanctuary states. Why are they doing this?

909
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 3: The incentive is because they want these people to be counted.

910
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 3: They want these people to come to their states to

911
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 3: backfill the departure of actual citizens. Think no further than

912
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 3: how many people have left California to come to Tennessee,

913
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 3: to Texas, to Florida, New Jersey, New York. These are

914
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 3: all sanctuary states. Illinois where the sanctuary city is located,

915
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 3: in New York City, in Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles.

916
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 3: They are backfilling with illegal aliens in order to maintain

917
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 3: their congressional power and to retain the electoral.

918
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 4: Votes that they have.

919
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 3: Those votes should be moving to states that are growing

920
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 3: like ours.

921
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 4: In Tennessee.

922
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 2: Amen, we're being disenfranchised of a congressional seat based on

923
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 2: these illegal immigrants being accounted in Tennessee. It's having a

924
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: real impact where you and I live. Thank you, senator,

925
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 2: Appreciate all the time, and we will talk to you

926
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 2: again soon.

927
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 4: Wonderful to be with OK. Thank you.

928
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,840

954
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 2: hear this music, there should be a scene that immediately

955
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 2: comes to mind for you. I'm putting you on the spot.

956
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 2: This is a little name that tune that intro music

957
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 2: that we just played. Is this Grease Lightning?

958
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 4: What?

959
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 2: Lord, Clay, I don't try to listen. I I don't

960
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 2: what is the the music? No, I have no I

961
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 2: thought it was the Grease Lightning intro. There's it's in

962
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 2: Beverly Beverly Hills. Oh, when he's in the when he's

963
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: doing the cigarette deal and he's like, it's a government

964
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 2: tech stamp. You can't you can't beat that, and then

965
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 2: like the the truck. It's, by the way, one of

966
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 2: the great opening sequences in any movie. But that's the

967
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 2: music that they're playing in the background of that whole sequence,

968
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 2: which I've Beverly Hills cop one of the best movies

969
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 2: I'll put I'll put this out there a top ten

970
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 2: movie of the eighties. I put it in the top ten.

971
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 2: That's outrageous. It's a very good movie.

972
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just thinking off the top of my head.

973
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 2: I mean, aren't there three Indiana Jones movies and three

974
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 2: star Wars. I guess the first Star Wars was seventy seven.

975
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 2: All the a nerd thinks that the Star Wars movies

976
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 2: are better than Beverly Hills Cop.

977
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:28,919
Speaker 1: You're not a nerd.

978
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 2: Come on, Empire Strikes Back is better than Beverly Hills Cop,

979
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 2: all of the all of the Indiana Jones movies are,

980
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 2: But I'm not anti Beverly Hills Cop. Lethal Weapon one

981
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 2: and two probably both better than Beverly Hills Cop.

982
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: Clay, Now you're really now now you're just messing. Terminator

983
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: two better than Beverly Hills Cop. I didn't say it

984
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: was the best movie. I said it's top ten.

985
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just naming like eight off the top of

986
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 2: my head right there, and that's not even getting into

987
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,399
Speaker 2: like The Godfather or The Godfather too.

988
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: I think The.

989
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 2: Godfather was like nineteen seventy nine or am I right on?

990
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 2: That one was The Godfather? Clay Clay, I know you,

991
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 2: I know you were in high school, but like that

992
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 2: was a long time ago. Okay, there's nineteen seventy two.

993
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 2: That's I said, the eighties to the Back to the Future,

994
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 2: Back to the Future. I would put Back the Future

995
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 2: in the top ten as well, yes, I think I

996
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 2: think it's hard to get to Beverly Hills Cop Top ten.

997
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not demeaning the quality of the film.

998
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 2: I'm a Beverly Hills Cop fan, but I think getting

999
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 2: I mean, some of people out there would say Trading Places,

1000
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 2: which I think came out in the eighties, is better

1001
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 2: than Beverly No one says. No one says Trading Places

1002
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 2: is better even as an Eddie Murphy movie. No one

1003
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,280
Speaker 2: says that's a better movie. Rating Place is a very

1004
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 2: very good movie. I just I just so you know

1005
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: the movies I went. Obviously there's a million different lists,

1006
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: but Lost Boys like this is a this is an

1007
00:51:58,600 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 2: awful take by.

1008
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 1: You, Clay.

1009
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: It's not an awful I mean maybe if you want

1010
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 2: to say it's like number twelve or fifteen, fine, Back

1011
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: to the Future that this is what's on the first

1012
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 2: list that.

1013
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: Comes off according to what do you call it?

1014
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 2: Google AI, Back to the Future, Empire Strikes Back, Raiders

1015
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:21,480
Speaker 2: of a Lost Dark Et, The Breakfast Club, no Way,

1016
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills Cop. I would agree with you on the

1017
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. That's crazy. The Blade Runner, no Way, Beverly

1018
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 2: Hills Cops A better movie. Die Hard is a better

1019
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 2: movie than Beverly Hills Cop. It kills me to say that,

1020
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 2: but that is true. I actually took a picture of

1021
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 2: the Diehard the Knaka Tomy Plaza when I was out

1022
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 2: in La last week. The physical structure is right by

1023
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 2: the Fox lot and I meant to text it to

1024
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 2: the show text chain die Hard is. Die Hard is

1025
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 2: I think the greatest action movie ever made. Now, I

1026
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 2: know you can get into what is action right because

1027
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 2: how broadly do you do it? But I think most

1028
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 2: people know an action movie like a shoot him up

1029
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 2: with different than a military movie like Saving Private Ryan

1030
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 2: is different than die It's but I think it's own genre.

1031
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah that that there are war movies and they're action movies.

1032
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,879
Speaker 2: Action movies involve clear steroid use by the protagonist and

1033
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 2: like one liner as while he just shoots everybody while

1034
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 2: holding the gun in his left hand on the beautiful

1035
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 2: babe in his right arm, being like, oh, like I

1036
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 2: am is a hero, you know, very Schwarzenegger, Stallone. You

1037
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 2: know these kinds of people. That's action movies. I would

1038
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,360
Speaker 2: actually I would put the Matrix in the action movie category,

1039
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 2: even though some people would say sci fi and that's

1040
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: at the very top of my you know, that's like

1041
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 2: a top five action movie for me. Okay, look, the

1042
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 2: eighties was a great decade for movies. But I I

1043
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 2: Karate Kid. I mean, there are so many movies out

1044
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 2: there tops a better movie. Karate Kid is better than

1045
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 2: Beverly Clruso is a little nerd, a little nerd. He

1046
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 2: started it, you like you like the Cobra Kai and.

1047
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 1: You know that the whole the whole you know, it.

1048
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 2: Was like Karate Kids pr team that convinced everybody that

1049
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 2: he should have stolen a Elizabeth shoe in the first place.

1050
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: That was the blondehaired guy's girl. Man, you just show up, Senior.

1051
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 2: Yukai is so good for those of you out there,

1052
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,960
Speaker 2: if you're and I understand some people are like, oh,

1053
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,240
Speaker 2: I hate every like it is such a good series,

1054
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 2: so good. I mean it's ridiculous. But I watched it

1055
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 2: with my kids. They were obsessed with it. They loved it.

1056
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 2: I yeah that that that whole uh, that whole concept,

1057
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 2: that whole movie was just just extraordinary.

1058
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: Uh.

1059
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 2: In the follow up, but other than Buck being totally

1060
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 2: wrong about Beverly Hills, and by the way, didn't I

1061
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 2: get ripped just like six months ago for coming on

1062
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: and liking the new Beverly Hills cop axel F that

1063
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 2: aired on Netflix. I came on and I was like,

1064
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 2: axel F was pretty good. It's like the fourth Beverly

1065
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 2: Cop or whatever Beverly Hills cop movie. So I'm not

1066
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 2: anti Beverly Hills cop movie.

1067
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: It was very good.

1068
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 2: But uh but yeah, that's a that's a rough take

1069
00:54:57,640 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 2: by you.

1070
00:54:58,520 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: Do you know what?

1071
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 2: According to Rotten, I know you want to move on,

1072
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 2: but I love that. No, no, no, I'm actually the number one.

1073
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 2: The only the only way we can really take this

1074
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 2: to the to the mat here, okay, is looking at

1075
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 2: the By the way, Ghostbusters absolutely on my top ten.

1076
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 4: Movies of the eighties.

1077
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you named ten that are better. All right, maybe

1078
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 2: it's top fifteen then, but I'm getting close. Look, I

1079
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: agree it would be sneaking in at the nine or

1080
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 2: ten slats, but but I would put it, you know,

1081
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 2: the the number one movie.

1082
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 1: According to uh.

1083
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 2: Again, this is based on like all audience reviews, Back

1084
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 2: to the Future most beloved movie of the eighties, which

1085
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:39,320
Speaker 2: et is number two, Ghostbusters is number three. The shining

1086
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,320
Speaker 2: is very high, which I mean it's a great movie,

1087
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: but like, I just don't like horror as a genre

1088
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,680
Speaker 2: very much. Raiders of the Lost Arc, Yeah, not a surprise,

1089
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 2: die Hard, die Hard, Terminer, Terminator, Predator, all amazing movies.

1090
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: And you know eventually we're gonna get to Beverly Hills.

1091
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: Cop in here.

1092
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 2: It's a little little, little like six. It's like, let

1093
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 2: me see, you know what I'll find it. I'm a

1094
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 2: little sad right now. I thought to be able. This

1095
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 2: is like when Nate Berghatsi says that he's gonna tell

1096
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 2: his wife I do my own laundry, and it's like

1097
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 2: the end of the fight. I went to Rotten Tomatoes,

1098
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 2: and unfortunately it's helping Clay's position, which is really upsetting

1099
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 2: me right now. Oh, I mean, oh oh, it's the

1100
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 2: number according to it's the number one hundred movie of

1101
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 2: the eighties.

1102
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: That's that's that's.

1103
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 2: Not even posterous, barely made the top one hundred.

1104
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:31,760
Speaker 1: It's a fine movie.

1105
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 2: But Back to the Future, and I would I would

1106
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:38,240
Speaker 2: argue Back to the Future is nearly a perfect movie,

1107
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 2: like almost a perfectly constructed movie. Same thing for the

1108
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 2: Raiders Lost Arc is good. I actually think the Last

1109
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 2: Crusade is the best of the of the Indiana Jones movies,

1110
00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 2: and I think that came out in like eighty nine.

1111
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: Jaws came out in seventy five. I always thought Jaws.

1112
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 2: Like, we just had the fiftieth anniversary last year, Jaws.

1113
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: Do kids still watch? Did your kids watch ET?

1114
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 4: Like?

1115
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 2: I don't feel like that's a movie. I don't think

1116
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 2: they've seen it. It's a sad movie. It wasn't one

1117
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,279
Speaker 2: that I was super excited to watch with them, you know.

1118
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 2: I mean it kind of ends in a it's kind

1119
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,439
Speaker 2: of dark ending. So I don't even know that we've

1120
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: watched ET. We've watched all of almost all the top

1121
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 2: eighties movies. That's a good question. I haven't watched it

1122
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 2: with them often, Buck, I mean, this is a this

1123
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,080

Speaker 2: has to be a DG. We've already talked about it.

1134
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 2: To narrow this down, it's not that Back to the Future. No,

1135
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: that's actually number eight, number one ET three hundred and

1136
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 2: ninety nine million dollars. Now this is adjusted for inflation,

00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 2: of money, aren't you The King of Hating Avatar, and

1144
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 2: Avatar is like three or four of the biggest grossing

1145
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 2: movies of all time.

1146
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna use my curmudgeonly consistency against me on this one.

1147
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: That's really where we're going.

1148
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 2: Okay, fair, fair, but really it's dominated by the Indiana

1149
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 2: Jones series, the Star Wars series, Ghostbusters, ET that like

1150

1155
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 2: I mean, the the issue is I would say, we've

1156
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 2: analyzed as well as you can. Everybody is playing constantly

1157

1161
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 2: lead story on every network right now. They're just repeating

1162
00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 2: it over and over again. And I did say I

Speaker 2: Shack Elite nineteen eighty. He's not He's not wrong, but

1172
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 2: I would say his disgust is a little excessive.

1173
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 1: That's all, okay, he's not out of line with the pick.

1174
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 2: But like you know, that's I mean, Caddy Shack is

1175
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: like a number number twenty I would put it.

1176
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: I'd put it like top twenty for the age you'd
