1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton show, all of 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: you hanging. 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 2: Out with us. 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: This is still live, right if I'm not mistaken, The 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: White House Cabinet meeting has now been going on, Buck. 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: For the entirety of our radio show, we are competing 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: with the Trump Show head to heads. 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: It's another radio show, Clinn, That's really what it is. 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: Trump has been doing over two hours straight along with 10 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: his cabinet taking questions. It does feel to some extent 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: Buck like this is a response to The New York 12 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: Times saying that he doesn't have the vitality and the 13 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: vigor that he used to. 14 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong on this, But then a couple of. 15 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: Days later, he's like, all right, let's just do a 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: three hour potentially press conference that Fox News has been 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: carrying straight through and even CNN now has elected to 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: go live to Trump. So we're continuing to monitor that. 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: I just sent a couple of clips to producer Greg 20 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: as Hegseth has weighed in more on the on the 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: boat strike off Venezuela, which evidently Buck happened September second, 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: So this was one of the earliest strikes that occurred 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: on the boats. I do think that matters here. I 24 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: don't know that we've given a date, but he did 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: in his answer, which we will have soon. 26 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 2: Vote Go vote, Go vote. 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: If you are in the seventh congressional district in the 28 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: state of Tennessee, it is election day. 29 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: I went this morning. 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: I took my fifth grader to school, I dropped him off, 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: and then I went into the polling place right there 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: at his school. My wife is working all day at 33 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: as a volunteer at this local polling center. I think 34 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: I mentioned this before, Buck, But you know Laura quite well. 35 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: She was really fired up at the overall security issues 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: associated with elections, and so she said, well, heck, I 37 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: want to see this for myself. So she decided that 38 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: she would volunteer and watch as the election is taking 39 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: place here locally. By the way, President Trump standing up 40 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: right now, we are no longer competing with the Trump Show. 41 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: He has just walked out after a marathon two plus 42 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: hour session with his cabinet, and it is just now 43 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: breaking up in real time. All right, this is funny, 44 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, Buck. There are many different, 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: super serious stories that are going on, but you know, 46 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: I trust college football fans implicitly. In addition to everything 47 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: else that was discussed, Marco Rubio came out and said, 48 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: if the Miami Hurricanes, your new home town team, buck, 49 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: if they're not in the playoff, he's furious and he's 50 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: gonna put President Trump in charge of next year's playoff. 51 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: This is funny. 52 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: This did just happen, among many other things in the 53 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: in the cabinet meeting. 54 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: Listen to this, and. 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: I know I'm last, so I wanted to be fast, 56 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 3: but there was allowed to cover. I do want to say, 57 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 3: this is the most wonderful, magical time of the year. 58 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: By that, of course, I'm referring to the college football playoffs. 59 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: And I just want to say this as a point 60 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: of personal privilege. If and I'm on Florida Gator but 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 3: at the University of Miami gets screwed out of the 62 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: college with the football playoffs after going ten and two 63 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: and being a Notre dame, the whole thing should be 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: scrapped and you're gonna have to take over it next year. 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: Marco better watch out. He could get another job. Maybe 66 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: he becomes like SEC commissioner or something. In addition to 67 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: I think keys Secretary of State National Security advisor USAID director. 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 2: The Marco portfolio is a remarkable thing to behold. Your 69 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: wife is a Florida Gator grad. Marco Rubio's son is 70 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: a football player for the Florida Gators. So I was 71 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: actually texting with him over the weekend, nothing at all 72 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: to do with serious things, just about the college football 73 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,679 Speaker 2: coaching searches going on. Marco Rubio is doing a fantastic job, 74 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: but so many different topics. I did think it was 75 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: funny that he decided that he wanted to weigh in 76 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: on that, because Marco Rubio is a Miami guy, big 77 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: college football fan, which is one reason we get along 78 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: so well. Do we have from producer Greg yet the 79 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: clip that I sent in of heg Seth giving more details. 80 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 2: It's not in yet, Buck, Okay, we will have. This 81 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: is the lead story now for people out there who 82 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: are saying, what are you doing here? Why are you 83 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: talking about this? The lead story everywhere? We want to 84 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: make sure that we're addressing it well. 85 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News basically all covering this as 86 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: the top news story of the day. 87 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, because the implications of this, first of all, 88 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: aren't just about the attempts to undermine an attack headset, 89 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 2: and with him this administration. There's also this issue of 90 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 2: what this does to Venezuela, and increasingly we have what 91 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 2: seems to be a de facto regime change policy in place. Now. 92 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: Regime change in nation building are not necessarily things that 93 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: go hand in hand, but they often do. And so 94 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: this is going to start to bring up some very 95 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: important and difficult conversations. I think if Maduro goes. But 96 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: here we have Secretary Hegset just moments ago getting into 97 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: the details of this strike that has been widely reported on. 98 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: Let's listen to the Secretary of War. I didn't stick 99 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: around for the hour and two hours. 100 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: Whatever where all the sensitive side exploitation digitally occurs. 101 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: So I'm moving on to my next meeting. 102 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 4: A couple of hours later, I learned that that commander 103 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 4: had made which the complete authority to do. And by 104 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 4: the way, Edward Bradley made the correct decision to ultimately. 105 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: Sink the boat and eliminate the threat. 106 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 4: He stunked the boat, sunk the boat. 107 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: And eliminated the threat, and he was the right call. 108 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 4: We have his back and the American people are safer 109 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 4: because narco terrorists no you can't bring drugs through the 110 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,040 Speaker 4: water and eventually on land if necessary, I have to 111 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 4: do to the American people. We will eliminate that threat, 112 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 4: and we're proud to do it. 113 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: So you didn't see any survivors, to be clear, after. 114 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: The first strut, I did not personally see survivors, but 115 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 4: I stand because the thing was on fire, that was exploded. 116 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 4: In fire smoke, you can't see anything you got digital. 117 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: There's this is called the fog of war. This is 118 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: what you and the press don't understand. 119 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 4: You sit in Americ conditioned offices or up on Capitol 120 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 4: Hill and you nit pick, and you plant fake stories 121 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 4: in the Washington Post about kill everybody, phrases on anonymous sources, 122 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 4: not based in anything, not based in any truth at all, 123 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 4: and then you want to throw really irresponsible terms about 124 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 4: American heroes, about the judgment that they've made. 125 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,119 Speaker 2: Iver a whole book on this topic. 126 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 4: Because of what politicians and the press does to warfighters, 127 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 4: President Trump is empowered commanders, commanders to do what is necessary, 128 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 4: which is dark and difficult things in the dead of 129 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 4: night on behalf of the American people. We support them, 130 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 4: and we will stop the poisoning of the American people. 131 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: Okay, that's a better answer. 132 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: I still think, and this is the lawyer in me, buck, 133 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: I want a clear, concise, direct description of what the 134 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: admiral did. And it may be the case that they 135 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: haven't talked in detail about this decision, but that would 136 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: help to end this story. 137 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: I believe once and for all. It's hard to sound 138 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: objective talking about Pete because you and I both know 139 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: Pete and or we're personally friends with Pete. I've known 140 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: Pete now for almost fifteen years. So I just I 141 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: say that because I think we need to be honest 142 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: about where we come from, especially talking with some of 143 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: these public figures we know on a personal level. And 144 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: I know Pete loves the country, and I know he 145 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: loves the war fighters in the United States military like 146 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 2: his own family, and so I bring all of that 147 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: to this discussion too, all right. That said, I think 148 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: that the problem that he's running into here a little 149 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: bit clay, is when you start to say things again, 150 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: I'm looking at this like the enemy here in the media, 151 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 2: which he's addressing very clearly. He's saying, you guys are 152 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: a bunch of jerks that don't understand anything. But when 153 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: he says things like fog of war, that they're going 154 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: to take that now and say so you don't know 155 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 2: if there were survivors or not. That's what they're that's 156 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: the next stage. 157 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 5: Now. 158 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: I think in this process it went from the order 159 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: to kill survivors to now you're saying fog of war again. 160 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: I understand from the very beginnings, you know, need to 161 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: call in and say what he did is totally lawful. 162 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: I believe that Pete Hegseth and the and the jaysok 163 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: Here Joint Special Operations Command. I think they operated in 164 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: a lawful fashion. I am just saying the way this 165 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 2: is turning into a story is leaving bits of daylight 166 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:17,239 Speaker 2: here with the facts as presented, the narrative as constructed 167 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 2: from the top of the of the Pentagon hierarchy. And 168 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: when you say things like, you know, fog of war, 169 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: I get it. I know what he's saying. But they're 170 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: going to say so you don't even know if there 171 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: were you know, there was smoke, you know, there could 172 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: have been survivors. You know, this is the next this 173 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: is the next phase of it, I think totally. And 174 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 2: this is why I say, and this is me speaking 175 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: as a former criminal defense attorney. 176 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: Your story has to be consistent, and you have to 177 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: stick to it, and you have to put it out there, 178 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: and it has to be ironclad in terms of you 179 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: being able to prove. 180 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: What exactly it is. 181 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: And I just think the story of we had to 182 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 1: hit the boat a second time because it had not 183 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: been completely obliterated and there were still drugs there, and 184 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: they could have brought another boat in and gotten those 185 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: drugs off, and they could have still come to the 186 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: United States. The purpose of the mission was to ensure 187 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: that that boat is completely obliterated and there are no 188 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: drugs that survived the attack. The first attack it did, 189 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: we put in a second one. That's what happened. I 190 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: don't know anything about the people that were on the boat. Frankly, 191 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: I don't care about them, because they were terrorists trying 192 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: to kill people in the United States. They may have survived, 193 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: they may not have, but I know that boat didn't 194 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: and the drugs are gone. That's my answer. That's a 195 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: pretty good one. I wish it had been given. Yeah, 196 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: I stopped the threat. 197 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: This is a threat that's identified, a threat that we 198 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: can lawfully use the United States military to address and 199 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 2: Secretary of War heeg Seth and those below him in 200 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 2: the chain of command who were directly involved in the strike. 201 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 2: They were operating to stop the threat against the American people. 202 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 2: And if two missiles is what are required to stop 203 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: the threatreat, then that is what it required. But this 204 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 2: is why, again, you know, the specificity of the same 205 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: thing in a self defense case. If somebody came at 206 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: me clay in my own home, which would be a 207 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 2: very bad idea because I do have a lot of 208 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: guns here and I am pretty trained up these days. 209 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 2: But if somebody came at me in my own home 210 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 2: and I put one in him, and then they say, well, 211 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 2: why did you why did you actually unload your whole 212 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: magazine into this person who's coming at you, let's say, 213 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: with a knife or something, I would say, because in 214 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: the moment, that's what I believe to stop the threat 215 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: against my life. That's the answer. Yes, right, it doesn't 216 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 2: whether it's one bullet or ten bullets. I acted to 217 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: stop the threat against me and my family. What you 218 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 2: don't want to get into is, well, I hit him 219 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: five times, but then I thought, you know what, I 220 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: got to get some headshots in here to make sure 221 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: he's not moving anymore. You don't want to, in a 222 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 2: self defense situation say anything like that. This is those 223 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 2: of you. You don't have to know law of war 224 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 2: necessarily to understand how this. When you're talking about use 225 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 2: of force, you got to be very specific about why 226 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,359 Speaker 2: you're using that. For z and I've sat through the classes, 227 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: I've sat through the discussion we had this in the CIA. 228 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: We had to have conversations about lethal force. 229 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 5: Right. 230 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 2: This is you have to understand what the framework is. 231 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: We're using violence against another human being. 232 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: Always, the threat wasn't eliminated with the first strike, so 233 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: we had to have a second strike to eliminate the threat. 234 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: This is not very complicated. But again, when they start 235 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: nitpicking at you, I appreciate the fact that Pete recognizes 236 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 1: he's the target here. Somebody, I think this is important, 237 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: leaked probably very classified information to a large extent to 238 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: the Washington Post, which may or may not be accurate. 239 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: But somebody obviously has Pete as the target here. They're 240 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: attempting to come after him, the admiral and the president. 241 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: I mean, their intent here matters, And so again I 242 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: think you have to eliminate this story to the best 243 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: of your abillity. You know what happened over the weekend, Buck, 244 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: I was watching games my sister, My sister, Lisa, she's awesome. 245 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: Set down on the couch, she's watching the games.

She said, I 260 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: didn't know there was a code. Thanks for Lisa listening, Lisa, 261 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: But that's how comfortable this blanket was. 262 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: I'm not even kidding about this. 263 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: She sat down on the couch a little bit chilly, 264 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: she puts the blanket over her.

VIP email from Joe Back in the day 326 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: when Iran was blocking tankers going through the Strait of Hormuz. 327 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: Being in the navy, we fired upon Iranian boats, plus 328 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 2: the Iranians were taken over oil platforms and firing at 329 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 2: US ships. We didn't wait until we saw the whites 330 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 2: of their eyes. We shelled them. Period. Yeah, no, Joe, 331 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 2: I mean interesting perspective, but clearly Iranian warships getting getting 332 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: blown up by are shot at by American warships is 333 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 2: a long established and well understood part of this equation. 334 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: This is a little different, a little different, and just 335 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 2: trying to make sure we're all clear on this.

And I was just on the 413 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 7: phone talking with a house colleague, Catchemick out of Florida, 414 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 7: and she and I have several of these bills together. Look, 415 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 7: big tech uses our children as a cash cow, and 416 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 7: when kids are online, they are the product. And we've 417 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 7: been trying to pass legislation that would protect children in 418 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 7: the virtual space, just as we have laws in the 419 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 7: physical space that says you can't sell alcohol and tobacco 420 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 7: to kids, you can't expose them to pornography, you can't 421 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 7: endanger children, you can't force children into contracts, you can't 422 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 7: traffic children, you can't groom children. All of this there 423 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 7: are laws, but it happens in the virtual space twenty 424 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 7: four hours a day day, seven days a week. And 425 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 7: when you look at these apps that are catering to children, 426 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 7: when you look at these platforms catering to children, and 427 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 7: you know that big Tech is trying to get these 428 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 7: kids on their site and they want them to doom 429 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 7: scroll for hours on end. And then you talk to 430 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 7: parents and teachers and preachers and pediatricians and you hear 431 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 7: that addiction to these screens is one of the biggest 432 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 7: problems they have. When it comes to cyberbullying and behavioral 433 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,479 Speaker 7: issues in schools. Most of it start in the virtual space. 434 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 7: When kids meet a drug dealer, a pedophile, a trafficker, 435 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 7: a groomer. Generally it is in the virtual space, and 436 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 7: we need to put these protections in place for our 437 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 7: children in the virtual space, just as they exist in 438 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 7: the physical space. 439 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 2: Speaking to Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Senator, the terrible 440 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 2: terrorist attack that occurred just before the Thanksgiving holiday took 441 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 2: the life of a National Guard member of the National 442 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 2: Guard and almost took another life has got people focused 443 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 2: in here on how could something like this happen, How 444 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: was the vetting or really what was the lack of 445 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 2: vetting like to bring in many of these Afghans during 446 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 2: the Biden withdrawal. I wanted you to speak to that 447 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: and give us a census to what do you think 448 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: the Trump administration is going to be able to or 449 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 2: should do now that there's a recognition that there was 450 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 2: insufficient vetting for many, perhaps most, of the Afghans who 451 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 2: were brought here during the Biding. 452 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 7: Withdrawal, and actually the Inspector General's report from twenty twenty 453 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 7: two with the Apartment of Homeland Security noted there was 454 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 7: efficient vetting, and the response from the Biden administration was 455 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 7: that they were going to go back and do this vetting. 456 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 7: Obviously they did not, and now what the Trump administration 457 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 7: is discussing doing is halting immigration while they catch up 458 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 7: and make certain that they have vetted all these individuals, 459 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 7: whether they came in through the Afghan Welcome program that 460 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 7: Biden had put in place, or it is people that 461 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 7: are in the system that illegally were in the country, 462 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 7: or people that were here legally on a visa and 463 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 7: have overstayed their visa. You're going to see this administration, 464 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 7: in this Department of Homeland Security and the Department of 465 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 7: State circle back and actually clean up some of these 466 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 7: and if someone needs to go, they will be issued 467 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 7: an order of deep and then deported and removed from 468 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 7: the country. 469 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: I don't think we've asked you about this, but I 470 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: asked you about it in person the last time I 471 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: saw you, and I want to make sure we hit it. 472 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: I think it's a pretty extraordinary, unbelievable story that at 473 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: least eight United States senators, including you, had your phones 474 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: tapped as part of an investigation. I know that you 475 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: guys are continuing to follow up on that. 476 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: Can you tell our audience what happened there? Why? 477 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: Obviously it's significant and should never happen again, and what 478 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: is going to happen as a result. Where is that 479 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: story for people who don't know very much about it 480 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: or haven't been paying attention. 481 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 7: Yes, and the story is continuing to unfold as we're 482 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 7: getting more documents and hearing more from whistleblowers. And I 483 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 7: think it's tomorrow we have Judge Boseberg who is going 484 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 7: to come before us. He is the one who issued 485 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 7: as many as one hundred and ninety seven subpoenas for 486 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 7: information on our phones, and on top of those subpoenas, 487 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 7: he put a non disclosure order, which meant that the 488 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 7: wireless companies could not tell us that they had a 489 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 7: subpoena for our phone records. Now, we were targeted, from 490 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 7: what we have learned, because we were all Republicans, we 491 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 7: all support President Trump, and we each of us had 492 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 7: questions about the twenty twenty election. Now, the reason we're 493 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 7: continuing to dig on this and to get information is 494 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 7: because if they were going after phone records, there is 495 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 7: no doubt and we have reason to believe that they 496 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 7: went after other information. Where are they going after the 497 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 7: content of those contacts? Because what they did was to 498 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 7: get every phone call I made or received and the 499 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 7: location where I was when I made or received that call, 500 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 7: and who that call was made to or received from. 501 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 7: And it started on January first of twenty one with me, 502 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 7: and it was a pure spying effort. It was a 503 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 7: pure phishing expedition. But we also want to know did 504 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 7: they get the content of emails? Did they get the 505 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 7: content of text messages? Was there any wire tapping in 506 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 7: real time that they did? Did they surveil and investigate 507 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 7: people that we were in contact with? What was the 508 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 7: extent of that surveillance? Did they go after financial documents 509 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 7: and other information about us? So we are trying to 510 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 7: get to the bottom of us that I think each 511 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 7: of the eight of us want to know the extent 512 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 7: of this, and I will tell you this. We want 513 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 7: to know what they've done to other conservatives. They know 514 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 7: there were one hundred and ninety seven subpoenas issued against 515 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 7: four hundred and thirty individuals Conservatives and it was organizations 516 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 7: and individuals in that mix, citizens, Unine, and a turning 517 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 7: point USA, different organizations what they were after. We know 518 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 7: they got financial documents on some of those, but we 519 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 7: want to see that. We want to make certain this 520 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 7: never happens again, and conservatives have to be protected. And 521 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 7: of course in this this case, because you have some 522 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 7: whistleblowers over at DOJ that we're aware of this, they 523 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 7: brought the information to Senator Grassley, and that is how 524 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 7: we've been able to find out as much as we 525 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 7: have gotten so far about what they did to conservatives 526 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 7: in the extent of it. Jack Smith, who ran Arctic Frost, 527 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 7: needs to be held to account. I think he ought 528 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 7: to be in jail, and we need to hold everyone 529 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 7: to account. I have written a letter that calls for 530 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 7: the Office of Professional Conduct at the Department of Justice 531 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 7: to look into his actions. He should be disbarred. We 532 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 7: also have written a letter to the DC bar about 533 00:30:54,400 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 7: his conduct and what the actions that he took. The 534 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 7: email chain that we got last week. You know, the 535 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 7: interesting thing is the attorney the Council that was advising 536 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 7: Jack Smith and Arctic Frost told them this is a 537 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 7: constitutional violation and pointed out to them what we had 538 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 7: said early on.

It is a violation of 542 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 7: the Stored Communications Act. And to think they did this 543 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 7: knowing it was outside of the law, but they hate 544 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 7: Donald Trump and people that support Donald Trump, and so 545 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 7: they did it anyway. 546 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: Amen, it's a big story. 547 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: I think we're going to continue to follow it on 548 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: this program.
