Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome everybody to the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. On this episode, Stupor Gear is with us.
Speaker 1: I've known Stu for over a decade, which means he
Speaker 1: is getting old. I am getting old. This is the
Speaker 1: reality of life all around us. You know him from
Speaker 1: the Glenbeck radio program and Stu does America, a TV
Speaker 1: show as well as podcast which you should all check out. Stu,
Speaker 1: good to see you, sir. How's everything going, Man? Going
Speaker 1: really well? How about you? It's pretty good. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: You know. I'm a Florida resident now, so you with
Speaker 1: your whole oh Texas, Freedom, America stuff. You know, Florida,
Speaker 1: We're doing pretty good stuff here. Actually, let me ask you,
Speaker 1: how's it going in Texas? Because I know Texans that
Speaker 1: they love Texas, but they don't so much necessarily love
Speaker 1: who's in charge in Texas all the time. How's it
Speaker 1: been going over there? Yeah, it's been an interesting dynamic
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years because you know, as
Speaker 1: you remember when we were together up with the Blaze,
Speaker 1: we were in New York City, and we were just
Speaker 1: used to constantly terrible leadership all the time. The government
Speaker 1: was always oppressive and always terrible, and it's only gotten worse.
Speaker 1: And so I still have a ton of friends who
Speaker 1: are up there, and when I talked to them, they
Speaker 1: look at still look at Texas, I think the same way,
Speaker 1: and they say, wow, there's a place they actually a
Speaker 1: freedom there no state income tax, like you can actually
Speaker 1: do stuff that you want to do and not be
Speaker 1: cracked down on by the government. And from their perspective,
Speaker 1: it's that way when I come down here. A lot
Speaker 1: of the people now you are like lifelong Texans, and
Speaker 1: to them, we've moved into a communist dictatorship of so start,
Speaker 1: you know, because there's just so many controls and and
Speaker 1: there's a lot of like gubernatorial like jealousy right now
Speaker 1: with Desantists, Like everyone looks at Desantist and saying, well,
Speaker 1: why aren't we doing that? How come he's doing that
Speaker 1: and we're not doing that? And I think there's an
Speaker 1: element of truth and there. I think Decantis has been
Speaker 1: the most successful really like grabbing that news cycle and
Speaker 1: finding the things that conservatives care about. But like, you know,
Speaker 1: I bring this example up from time to time. It
Speaker 1: was Greg Abbott who started sending migrants up to big
Speaker 1: cities up north. First Scantists sent them to Martha's Vineyard
Speaker 1: and he got all the press and all the adoration.
Speaker 1: Both the Santists and Doucey in Arizona actually did that
Speaker 1: before Descendis did it. But you know, look, you got
Speaker 1: two great states there. I love Texas a freaking love,
Speaker 1: and I've lived in Florida as well. I loved it there.
Speaker 1: The Santist I think, has done an incredible job, you know,
Speaker 1: over the past few years. And you know, voters certainly
Speaker 1: showed that in this last election where wins by what
Speaker 1: nineteen points? Yeah, and the bussing to New York of
Speaker 1: the migrants who have entered the country illegally, by the way,
Speaker 1: I think you're we I talked about that story a
Speaker 1: lot in the air, but it's a good point. I
Speaker 1: don't necessary it somehow doesn't get attached, like the branding
Speaker 1: of that issue hasn't really been These are migrants now,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if all of them are, but a
Speaker 1: lot of them are migrants that I believe was started
Speaker 1: by by Abbott and it has it has forced a
Speaker 1: different conversation on that issue because the mayor of New
Speaker 1: York City is I'm sure you've seen and you know
Speaker 1: you Glenn and stud I'm pat sorry, I've been talking
Speaker 1: about that. It's really expensive. I mean it's going to
Speaker 1: cost a city something like two billion dollars. And everyone goes, wait,
Speaker 1: hold on a second. So a forty thousand migrants just
Speaker 1: to deal with like getting them settled in everything of
Speaker 1: the first year cost two billion dollars. What is five
Speaker 1: million migrants cost to what is eight million migrants cost? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm throwing them in areas, you know, cities of eight
Speaker 1: thousand and ten thousand and twelve thousand people in the
Speaker 1: border that have no infrastructure to deal with us whatsoever.
Speaker 1: This has been the life of every border state for
Speaker 1: a very long time. And you know, like at some level,
Speaker 1: the idea of sending illegal immigrants to you know, Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris's residence and set it outside in New York in Chicago,
Speaker 1: it's almost like more of a talk radio collar idea
Speaker 1: than a actual policy. And when I heard it, it
Speaker 1: was like, you know, first of all, it's a great idea,
Speaker 1: would make a great point, but it's a symbolic gesture,
Speaker 1: and you know it's not going to solve a problem
Speaker 1: on the border, certainly, But I will say it's actually
Speaker 1: been much more successful than I imagine when I first
Speaker 1: heard of the idea, because it has put these liberal
Speaker 1: mayors in this position where they can't hide. They can't say, oh,
Speaker 1: those mean racists down there in the border. They have
Speaker 1: to embrace every piece of our analysis of the border situation.
Speaker 1: To get help from anyone, they have to sit here
Speaker 1: in bed to the media, Please make them stop. This
Speaker 1: is impossible to deal with. And when you think of
Speaker 1: a city like in New York with the resources they have, Washington, DC,
Speaker 1: with the resources they have, the fact that they can't
Speaker 1: deal with just a few illegal immigrants really shines a
Speaker 1: light on what Arizona has had to go through, what
Speaker 1: tex had to go through, even California and New Mexico
Speaker 1: as well. You feel like El Paso as a city
Speaker 1: probably has a budget that you know, wouldn't cover a
Speaker 1: few months of NYPD overtime. I mean, you know, not
Speaker 1: not exactly, but you get what I mean. It's it's
Speaker 1: the notion that the border towns, and I've been down
Speaker 1: to them, I've been down to all passo to the
Speaker 1: border to see I know, you guys spend a lot
Speaker 1: of time you're in Texas, spend a lot of time
Speaker 1: at the border. McAllen, Like, you know, Mcallen's not rolling
Speaker 1: in municipal cash, right, This idea that they should be
Speaker 1: handling all this is crazy, But you're also to your
Speaker 1: point about how it's worked out better than you anticipated.
Speaker 1: The Martha's Vineyard thing. I'll be I thought this. I
Speaker 1: underestimated the awfulness and hypocrisy of rich coastal lives. And
Speaker 1: I come from the rich coast to live enclave of
Speaker 1: New York City, right born and raised. I usually get
Speaker 1: I usually know exactly what they're gonna do. I figured
Speaker 1: Stu that they were going to drop these migrants there,
Speaker 1: and just for the knowing that the country was watching
Speaker 1: in the stunt, they would all just do the oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, this is amazing, and we're gonna you know,
Speaker 1: we can't let's have all the all classroom instruction has
Speaker 1: to be bilingual now and like we're let's you know,
Speaker 1: celebrate Sanco de Mayo. But every month or you know,
Speaker 1: they would just come up with some thing, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, some some way of creating this, and
Speaker 1: actually they freaked out and then they realized they were
Speaker 1: freaking out. Edward saw them freak out, and then they
Speaker 1: pretended like they were cool with it for about six
Speaker 1: hours until they got them on a military transport back
Speaker 1: to the mainland. Oh yeah, I couldn't have been more
Speaker 1: glorious to watch that process play out, because you're right,
Speaker 1: they I thought we'd get that that thing, that that
Speaker 1: that that acting job, right, you'd have that that Well, well,
Speaker 1: we love you. We're so excited they're here. And you
Speaker 1: know what those stupid Texans and stupid Floridians thought, they
Speaker 1: had send people up here and they would get us angry.
Speaker 1: But no, the way instead they completely of the meat.
Speaker 1: They you know, they got them off the island in
Speaker 1: ten seconds. And it wasn't until like a week or
Speaker 1: so after they got them off the island that they
Speaker 1: started coming up with this. We mean, we loved having
Speaker 1: them here, Are you crazy? They were great, But they
Speaker 1: kicked they booted them off that island as fast as
Speaker 1: they could. And it's funny. When that was going on,
Speaker 1: I actually was visiting a mutual friend of ours in Nantucket,
Speaker 1: which is a neighboring Island there, very very similar, very fancy.
Speaker 1: You definitely want to bring your top, hat and monocle
Speaker 1: along with your sunscreen. Oh yes, and I did. I
Speaker 1: had three monocles, and I brought two of them. I
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure I had a backup. But you know,
Speaker 1: you're out there and it's like, I paid a lot
Speaker 1: of money for this flight. I'm staying at a friend's house,
Speaker 1: so he'd pay a lot of money for this house.
Speaker 1: This is an incredible place to be. The idea that
Speaker 1: the media came out would be like, I can't believe
Speaker 1: they stranded them on Martha's Vineyard. Like I people pay
Speaker 1: to go to Martha's Vineyard. It's a really nice place.
Speaker 1: They got a couple of you know, a couple of
Speaker 1: days of sun shine and in the summer, and it
Speaker 1: was I don't know, I mean, it was a treat.
Speaker 1: I wanted to get up one of those poll I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, most people the issue with Martha's Vineyard
Speaker 1: in this summer is they can't afford to go, and
Speaker 1: they can't find a room even if they could afford it.
Speaker 1: But they acted like they drop these migrants in the
Speaker 1: middle of you know, Death Valley or something right in
Speaker 1: the middle of like a you know, like fifty miles
Speaker 1: outside of Barstow, and you know, gave him five dollars
Speaker 1: and said, see what happens. It's like, no, actually, but
Speaker 1: I wonder where does the where does the immigration issue
Speaker 1: go for Democrats? Because you don't bide in he's he's
Speaker 1: started to make some moves I guess toward the center
Speaker 1: isn't really right, just slightly less crazy, right, it's where
Speaker 1: the center sounds like it's good faith, but it's just
Speaker 1: you know, they're looking at different authorities that they could
Speaker 1: use to expel migrants once they don't have the title
Speaker 1: forty two anymore. What do you think happens? Like? Is
Speaker 1: this just the numbers are getting The numbers are getting crazy,
Speaker 1: kind of like our debt, right. The numbers though, of
Speaker 1: migrants coming in the country. I think the most recent
Speaker 1: stuff one that I saw was so far in Biden,
Speaker 1: it's between six and eight million. Does that sound right?
Speaker 1: Sounds about right? Yeah? I mean, which is an incredible
Speaker 1: number over such a short period of time. You know,
Speaker 1: I bet you agree with this as well, Bluck. But like,
Speaker 1: I think one of the most embarrassing things I have
Speaker 1: seen since I've been following politics, was the withdrawal from Afghanistan. Like,
Speaker 1: I think it was one of the worst things our
Speaker 1: country has ever done, the way that was handled and
Speaker 1: the way we left so many people behind, and one
Speaker 1: of the apocalypse that went on for that, you know,
Speaker 1: those few weeks and months as we decided to just
Speaker 1: kind of like we're just gonna leave everybody behind and
Speaker 1: see what happens. And what I find fascinating about that
Speaker 1: is they pulled that issue about six months after the
Speaker 1: withdrawal and they went through the issues of how good
Speaker 1: of a job is Joe Biden doing and Afghanistan was
Speaker 1: second worst. The border was below Afghanistan and the withdrawal,
Speaker 1: which was something that even liberals kind of came on
Speaker 1: board on and said, like, Okay, this was kind of
Speaker 1: a disaster. Unless you're on MSNBC, you are allowed to
Speaker 1: admit that. And you know, people look at that issue
Speaker 1: and really see it as a not only a weakness
Speaker 1: but constant weakness since day one when he got into office,
Speaker 1: and because of Title forty two, we still haven't seen
Speaker 1: the worst of it. So I think there's a real
Speaker 1: there's a bit of a political awakening in the White
Speaker 1: House where they say and again not Joe Biden's never awake,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying like his advisors that are saying, hey,
Speaker 1: we do have an election coming up. If Title forty
Speaker 1: two goes down and it is a complete catastrophe at
Speaker 1: the border, even a lot of our voters are going
Speaker 1: to notice that and say we you know, we blew
Speaker 1: it on this one. So they're trying to make steps
Speaker 1: I think to minimize I don't think they care that
Speaker 1: this many people come in across the border. I think
Speaker 1: long term they're fine, but they don't want that feeling
Speaker 1: of crisis, and so the media is usually really nice
Speaker 1: to work along with them on this and make it
Speaker 1: look like it's not a pending crisis. But at some
Speaker 1: point it can spin out of control. I think they'll
Speaker 1: try to control it, to keep it under wraps. But honestly,
Speaker 1: when Title forty two goes down, I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're to be able to do it. Yeah. I don't
Speaker 1: think that they have the structures in or rather they've
Speaker 1: dismantled whatever structures were in place legally and otherwise to
Speaker 1: really be able to do anything about it. Once Title
Speaker 1: forty two goes Why hasn't the GOP been able to
Speaker 1: capitalize on this more politically. Well, they're terrible at it two,
Speaker 1: it would be more, would be answer number one. In reality,
Speaker 1: they're terrible at it two. But I think because you know,
Speaker 1: because Biden has been so bad on this, and of
Speaker 1: course a Bomba was previously as well, I don't even
Speaker 1: know that it matters that much that they're bad. Actually,
Speaker 1: I think just being slightly less bad would be of
Speaker 1: a positive choice for America on the border at this point,
Speaker 1: I think there's been an unsuccessful attempt to do a
Speaker 1: couple of things. One is really talk about order and
Speaker 1: bring it to people's attention in a way that people
Speaker 1: can understand. I think there's like hesitance by some on
Speaker 1: the right to say, hey, like, what they're doing to
Speaker 1: people on the border who are trying to come here
Speaker 1: illegally is inhumane. This is not just a wrong and
Speaker 1: bad policy for the United States and bad policy for
Speaker 1: people in these cities, but it's also just inhumane what
Speaker 1: they're doing to migrants that are coming over the border.
Speaker 1: Because we have this sense of rule of law, which
Speaker 1: is we want people to you know, not cross the
Speaker 1: border illegally, we kind of I think shy away at
Speaker 1: times from showing the real inhumanity of this, and of
Speaker 1: course the media is not going to do it. It's
Speaker 1: important to make sure we show the inhumanity of the
Speaker 1: people and how they're being treated when they come across
Speaker 1: the border, and then promptly ascend them back to their
Speaker 1: home countries. In addition to that highlighting and this is
Speaker 1: when I think, you know, Trump certainly did very very
Speaker 1: well on this, and others have as well, highlighting the
Speaker 1: crimes that do occur when people to cross. No one's
Speaker 1: saying that they come back with us every time. Oh well,
Speaker 1: you know immigrants section, they always do this. Migrants actually
Speaker 1: have a lower crime percentage than than US citizens. Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, they always loved any illegal immigrants and
Speaker 1: legal immigrants, and it's important, I think, for a positive
Speaker 1: vision of conservatism to say, hey, legal immigrants come here,
Speaker 1: but we would love that come here through the legal process.
Speaker 1: We're going to manage that process. We're going to manage
Speaker 1: how many people come, who they are, what industries they're
Speaker 1: going into. That's all part of our right as a
Speaker 1: sovereign country. But we would love to have people who
Speaker 1: love America to come here and make us stronger. I
Speaker 1: mean America is partially great because we're a bit of
Speaker 1: an all star team, right, Like, we had the best
Speaker 1: people from all around the world who were like, Ah,
Speaker 1: let's get out a vote and let's just go across
Speaker 1: the ocean. Let's see what happens. Those people are ballsy
Speaker 1: people that take chances and build great economies like this.
Speaker 1: So analysis so far has been so sensible that I
Speaker 1: just think the entire audience is nodding an agreement. And
Speaker 1: so I want to give you the opportunity to at
Speaker 1: least tick off some of the audience by talking about
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and Trump decentists and this. You know
Speaker 1: this is a fun one. Oh yeah, Wait, boy, you're
Speaker 1: dealing with it every day. I'm dealing with it every day.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to come back to that.
Speaker 1: But first I don't even have to ask sto. I
Speaker 1: know he's got my pillows at home. I know he's
Speaker 1: sleeping on my pillows. My pillows are amazing. And if
Speaker 1: you don't have him yet, folks, then my pillow two
Speaker 1: point zero is phenomenal Mike Lindell And then the original
Speaker 1: my pillow twenty years ago, and now the company's got
Speaker 1: this new technology. The my Pillow two point oh. This
Speaker 1: is what I've got on the bed. It's amazing. So
Speaker 1: I moved the original my pillows to the guest bedroom
Speaker 1: and now the My Pillow two point zero that's on
Speaker 1: the main bed. Look, you're not gonna be tossing and
Speaker 1: turning looking for the cool part of your pillow during
Speaker 1: the night anymore. The My Pillow two point zero is

Speaker 1: probably a My Slippers guy, too, aren't you. Ste I
Speaker 1: don't rock. So he sells more My Slippers than My pillows.
Speaker 1: He actually, that's are bestsellers. But my slippers, my slippers,
Speaker 1: my bills. I got the sheets too, they're great. Every member.
Speaker 1: There was one hold out of my family who had
Speaker 1: like slippers that he liked. You know, that weren't the
Speaker 1: my slippers I got. Everybody else, you know, the whole
Speaker 1: Sexton crew. I got my brothers, my parents, whatever. And
Speaker 1: then he finally he finally succumbed. He tried them on.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, these are better. So I'm just saying
Speaker 1: from a code bucket on my pillow dot com, um
Speaker 1: stu let, let's let's start with broad Broadly twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent, Joe Biden is the nominee for the
Speaker 1: Democrats running obviously for reelection. In your mind, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, look, you're looking at a man who is
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty four years old. So no, I
Speaker 1: did not think you could say one hundred percent that
Speaker 1: he's the nominee. I will say that he's wanted this
Speaker 1: every moment of his life, and he he is still
Speaker 1: the president of the United States. So I believe he
Speaker 1: will run and be the nominee. I don't think you can,
Speaker 1: you know, outside of a health concern. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any way that he does not become. That's kind
Speaker 1: of the more specific, you know, is because obviously anybody
Speaker 1: anyone could you know, I remember, like Rudy Giuliani, even
Speaker 1: people forget he was going to be the Senator from
Speaker 1: New York most likely defeating Hillary Clinton. Now people can
Speaker 1: argue whether he would have defeated her, but he remember
Speaker 1: he had cancer, he had to fight cancer, So that's
Speaker 1: always true barring a health related issue. Though, you don't
Speaker 1: think because there's all these theories, I'm sure you get
Speaker 1: people lots of people writing in with the same kind
Speaker 1: of theories that I'm seeing, which is, oh, they're going
Speaker 1: to pull some kind of a switch and it's Gavin
Speaker 1: Newsom or Kamala's going to ascend or do you see
Speaker 1: that or not? I doun't. I think he's going to
Speaker 1: be the nominee. Is very difficult, you know. You know,
Speaker 1: I do a lot of stuff with you know, one
Speaker 1: where the elections and analysts here at the boys and
Speaker 1: and we look back at that previous elections. It's just
Speaker 1: really hard to unseat someone who's already in office. It's
Speaker 1: very difficult. And Joe Biden, while unpopular, is you know,
Speaker 1: still has the advantages of the incumbents that you don't
Speaker 1: want to throw that away. It's really hard to take
Speaker 1: out an incumbent, a guy who can wrestle the news
Speaker 1: cycle whenever he wants, a guy who could do speeches
Speaker 1: on our dime for his campaign. I mean, that sort
Speaker 1: of stuff is so valuable to someone, and you're not
Speaker 1: going to throw that away unless unless the health thing
Speaker 1: really hits so hard, or you know, you know, if
Speaker 1: this improval rating dropped to twenty percent, they may push
Speaker 1: him out. He make a push out, But I don't
Speaker 1: I don't see that. I don't. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: going to out. Yeah. I think the power of the incumbent,
Speaker 1: see is such that if Joe Biden is able to speak,
Speaker 1: but they still have to push him around in a wheelchair,
Speaker 1: I still think that he runs for president. I don't
Speaker 1: think that'd look. You know, people would say, what was
Speaker 1: it your big history guy? Didn't was it? Wilson? Thank
Speaker 1: you drow Wilson. His wife was basically running the show
Speaker 1: while he was bedridden and completely incapacity hit in the
Speaker 1: White House for many months. Yeah, they will weekend at Bernie's,
Speaker 1: this guy all the way to the White House again
Speaker 1: if they can't. I mean they kind of did that
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Right, he was just in his basement,
Speaker 1: he barely ever. Oh we didn't know he could even,
Speaker 1: you know, he wouldn't even go outside for months at
Speaker 1: a time. I mean, it was the perfectly designed campaign
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden. So my my co host, whom you
Speaker 1: know as well, Clay he recently he Weekend at Bernie's
Speaker 1: is the way he likes to describe it, to which
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna tell everybody I actually saw the movie
Speaker 1: because people are talking about with the Weekend at Bernie's
Speaker 1: presidency whatever, it doesn't hold up very well. And and
Speaker 1: there's a Weekend at Bernie's too. Did you know they
Speaker 1: did the second one, which the first one was so
Speaker 1: good at just I don't even the first one. You're
Speaker 1: just like, this is the dumbest premise I've ever seen anyway,
Speaker 1: So they're literally carrying this was like a dead guy
Speaker 1: around or whatever, and it's so stupid. But actually I
Speaker 1: brought up and Clay said that I had crossed like
Speaker 1: the nerd barrier threshold here um like like like too
Speaker 1: much nerd, this is nerd crossing the streams. But I
Speaker 1: was like, well, I think it's kind of like Charlton
Speaker 1: Heston in El Sid at the end of the Charlton
Speaker 1: Esten Sophia ran. Are you know that epic historical movie
Speaker 1: or have I that I crossed the nerd threshold too far.
Speaker 1: You can neither Clay or I can see you. You're
Speaker 1: so far over the nerd threshold of wow, I'm sorry, sorry,
Speaker 1: he is in total agreement with you. There were like
Speaker 1: a few people who wrote in that day we're talking
Speaker 1: about it, and they're like El Sid Charlton Heston, great film.
Speaker 1: But they put el Sid the Spanish commander during the
Speaker 1: rayon Quista. He's dead, he's mortally wounded. I think he's
Speaker 1: like just died, and they put him on a horse
Speaker 1: and they have him lead the charge because he was
Speaker 1: such a fear general. It's sort of like it's like that,
Speaker 1: except you know it's not Joe Biden's not a general,
Speaker 1: nor is he feared. But you know, you get the
Speaker 1: similar concept about just putting somebody forward. All right now,
Speaker 1: you know you have everyone said that, Oh it's just
Speaker 1: so fun to listen you talk to Stu because Stus
Speaker 1: so engaging and I like all of his analysis Trump desantists.
Speaker 1: How do you want it? How do you want to
Speaker 1: talk about this one? I cannot I get you know
Speaker 1: what I didn't want to say anymore because I'll start
Speaker 1: telling you what what I end up dealing with if
Speaker 1: I play a Desantist SoundBite on the radio. These days,
Speaker 1: I get people furious at me. Oh like I didn't
Speaker 1: even say any Trump sound but furious at me. So
Speaker 1: you tell me it's weird because I think about two
Speaker 1: weeks ago, we all sort of agreed that De Santis
Speaker 1: were doing a really good job and that Trump has
Speaker 1: had a lot of really good policies. And you know,
Speaker 1: they both had their role inside the conservative movement. That
Speaker 1: was two weeks ago. Now we're supposed to completely think
Speaker 1: each each of them are Satan or God. I hate
Speaker 1: this stuff, like I really do. You know, Look, there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a battle here. I mean, De Santis is
Speaker 1: gonna get in the race. There's gonna be a battle here, um,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have their moments where they go at
Speaker 1: each other. I didn't even think De Santis, I mean
Speaker 1: just Santas agreed the other day with Trump's you know,
Speaker 1: being persecuted here by by Bragg in New York. He
Speaker 1: didn't even say it was wrong. He just came out
Speaker 1: and you know, basically outlined why it was going on.
Speaker 1: And that was all of a sudden, super controversial. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, you see a different a difference in styles here,
Speaker 1: and you know, Trump is Trump has helped to someone
Speaker 1: they're a different standard. For whatever reason, Trump can brutally
Speaker 1: attack to Santis and no one says, oh, that's Trump
Speaker 1: being unfair and de Santis, you know, lightly attacks Trump
Speaker 1: and everyone acts as if it's the apocalypse. I think that, like,
Speaker 1: the truth here is that, Look, the media and the left,
Speaker 1: rightly or wrongly, would like to face off against Donald
Speaker 1: Trump again. And the reason why I believe that's true
Speaker 1: is because they have what they see as a game plan.
Speaker 1: They look at it. They lost in twenty sixteen, and
Speaker 1: so they could easily be wrong again in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four if he becomes the nominee. But they know they
Speaker 1: enter a race against Donald Trump at what a minimum
Speaker 1: forty seven percent of the vote. Forty seven percent of
Speaker 1: the vote is just ungettable for Donald Trump at this
Speaker 1: point because people can't stand him. Now, those people a
Speaker 1: lot of times are making completely irrational decisions based on
Speaker 1: things they should not not make voting decisions on. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, it's totally true, like people look at Trump
Speaker 1: and have this this bizarre reaction instead of treating him
Speaker 1: like a president or a president, you know, a politician
Speaker 1: or just someone with ideas to consider. They treat him
Speaker 1: as if you know, he's insta Satan and that is
Speaker 1: going to be a you know, a problem for Trump,
Speaker 1: but not a problem he can't overcome. With the Santists,
Speaker 1: they don't know what the blueprint is yet, they don't
Speaker 1: know what the game plan is to go against him.
Speaker 1: They feel like they look at Florida and they and
Speaker 1: they honestly are worried. This is a guy who won
Speaker 1: by zero point four percent in one election and then
Speaker 1: one by nineteen points four years later. That is not
Speaker 1: the sort of dynamic you want to go up against
Speaker 1: in an election where your guy is Joe Biden who
Speaker 1: can barely speak. So I think like we can all
Speaker 1: make fun of them for saying, hey, let's try that
Speaker 1: we're gonna go up against Trump again. We can easily
Speaker 1: beat him like they did the twenty sixteen and got
Speaker 1: it through their head. Hand to them. But I do
Speaker 1: think that's the way they're looking at this right now.
Speaker 1: I would I would agree with your your assessment of
Speaker 1: this one. I just I guess I want a little
Speaker 1: I want a little commiseration here with It's like it's
Speaker 1: like I can't win, you know, if if if I
Speaker 1: mentioned to Santis his name on the air, I'm on
Speaker 1: the payroll. It's because I live in Florida now. But
Speaker 1: if I don't mention him, well then I'm leaving out
Speaker 1: something back, you know. And the same thing. Just flip it,
Speaker 1: flip it with Trump, right, I'm like, man, Trump was
Speaker 1: a great present, just as people are like, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Man? Like, we all know that it's got
Speaker 1: to be right. It's like we're so early on in
Speaker 1: this process that I'm sitting here, I'm just and and
Speaker 1: my thing is, I keep telling everybody, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: haven't decided yet. I haven't. I'm very open about that.
Speaker 1: I have not made a decision, and it is not
Speaker 1: my job to try to decide for everybody else within
Speaker 1: the party. Beat Joe Biden. Yes, that's you know, on
Speaker 1: the record, just like you would be. But man, it
Speaker 1: is who it's getting. It's getting frisky out there already,
Speaker 1: and I do wonder is it fair to say? I
Speaker 1: can't think of time when a Democrat running for president
Speaker 1: destroy the like political brand of another Democrat running for president,
Speaker 1: really like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Okay, Barrock beater right.
Speaker 1: Twenty sixteen, Hillary runs, and I just feel like, right
Speaker 1: now people are like, yeah, scorched, sir, burn it down.
Speaker 1: Like two men enters, one man leaves. Isn't that thunderdome? Right?
Speaker 1: Two men enter, one man leaves, And it's like, why
Speaker 1: do we have to take that approach? I don't think
Speaker 1: Democrats take that approach to primaries. Or maybe maybe I'm
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what do you think. I mean,
Speaker 1: maybe you could argue Bernie Sanders does a little bit
Speaker 1: of that, right, but I mean even he comes around
Speaker 1: at the end. Usually the Bernie people kind of did that.
Speaker 1: I guess with Hillary at times there were some colling
Speaker 1: complaints about that. But I do think we're going down
Speaker 1: a very dangerous road here, you know. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was thinking about this today. Let's just say we get
Speaker 1: into this again. The Sanders doesn't even announced yet, but
Speaker 1: if he when, if and when he does, they get
Speaker 1: into this. There's this big battle. Let's just say it's
Speaker 1: those to the other candidates ever make any noise, and
Speaker 1: you have a pretty visceral back and forth between Trump
Speaker 1: and Descantis, which I think would be correct to expect
Speaker 1: at this point, and one of the wins. One of
Speaker 1: them wins fifty two forty eight, and the Delicates go
Speaker 1: the way they go and one of them gets the nomination.
Speaker 1: What then, Because you are going to need every single
Speaker 1: person in the conservative movement and the moderates and old
Speaker 1: school Republicans and a bunch of Libertarians and a bunch
Speaker 1: of other groups to put together a coalition that's going
Speaker 1: to actually get over fifty percent of the vote. You're
Speaker 1: not going to do it with Donald Trump's face. You're
Speaker 1: not going to do it with Ronald sentis is based
Speaker 1: by themselves. And if those two groups hate each other
Speaker 1: and will not go out there and vote for the
Speaker 1: other guy, you're going to lose. I think we saw
Speaker 1: that in twenty sixteen with the Bernie bros. They got
Speaker 1: so hardcore on their Bernie train. They got angry at
Speaker 1: Hillary for what she did, and I think incorrectly so
Speaker 1: on some of that, and some of them did not
Speaker 1: turn out in twenty sixteen, and I think you could
Speaker 1: argue it costs them the election. This could easily happen
Speaker 1: again in twenty twenty, and there's no reason for it.
Speaker 1: Like both of these guys offer things that you can
Speaker 1: look at and say, Okay, these are good things. You know,
Speaker 1: Trump fights harder than everybody. We know that, but DeSantis
Speaker 1: has a different brand of fighting that is more tied
Speaker 1: to maybe policy, and I think is an approach that's
Speaker 1: a little harder to attack than Trump's a style. Trump, though,
Speaker 1: has that will force of will that he could push
Speaker 1: through almost anything. I mean, I think you look at
Speaker 1: just the Stormy Daniels thing, probably six a bunch of politicians.
Speaker 1: He walked right through that. No one even remembered it
Speaker 1: a few years later. So that is one of the
Speaker 1: reasons I try to be I try to approach this
Speaker 1: with some degree of humility as a commentator, analysts, whatever,
Speaker 1: because Trump, all the things that we think we know
Speaker 1: about politics and how it plays out, a lot of
Speaker 1: it does apply to Trumper hasn't applied to Trump the
Speaker 1: way we thought it would. Right, It's just there's just
Speaker 1: stuff that And by the way, you brought up the
Speaker 1: Stormy Daniels thing. But even like um, you know Billy
Speaker 1: Bush tape. You know, the Democrats thought finished finished because
Speaker 1: of that, I thought he was in serious trouble. Look,
Speaker 1: but that's exactly right. That's you're like, oh gosh, like
Speaker 1: right before the election, that's not you know, and we
Speaker 1: could talk about whether it really was a big deal
Speaker 1: or not. But the point is it wasn't gonna play well.
Speaker 1: And Trump is just like me whatever, like locker room talk,
Speaker 1: leave it alone, and people are just like, Okay, that's it.
Speaker 1: So there's a different a different set of rules, right.
Speaker 1: I will also say, you know, the whole meatball ron thing,
Speaker 1: I knew that was gonna gon gonna go away. And
Speaker 1: it was because I had seen desantists uh in person
Speaker 1: a few months apart, and I'm like, this guy just
Speaker 1: shed like twenty to twenty five pounds. That's a guy.
Speaker 1: That's a man who's running for president. Yeah, right there.
Speaker 1: But but I was like Trump who liked like me.
Speaker 1: I can't speak for you fondness for cheeseburgers. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: that the gluten free bun. But I don't know if Trump,
Speaker 1: with his fondness for cheeseburgers, should be calling somebody else like,
Speaker 1: you know, meat ball ron or whatever. I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: I thought that was that was not the nicknames not
Speaker 1: as good. I'm a newly married man, ste and you've
Speaker 1: been how many years you've been married? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: twenty one this year. I just went through twentieth We
Speaker 1: deserved I went through which there are twentieth anniversary, Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: last year. All right, you're you're gonna give me. You're
Speaker 1: gonna give me some marital advice and even settle settle
Speaker 1: a dispute with my wife over something. So now we're
Speaker 1: really gonna get your trouble. We're gonna come back in
Speaker 1: a second. That's right. Keep it on the hot seat, everybody.

Speaker 1: we have three? Okay, what do you have? Well? I
Speaker 1: hesitate to tell you this, but we have we have
Speaker 1: a pug who is now eighteen years old. President Miles
Speaker 1: would call him because he's actually more more coherent at
Speaker 1: this stage than our actual president than we have a
Speaker 1: golden Retriever and then we just recently got a micro
Speaker 1: golden doodle. Wow, it's like I'm talking to the enemy here.
Speaker 1: It's like I'm talking to the enemy. I Katie, I
Speaker 1: don't even know what to say. So what I was
Speaker 1: going to tell you is her she loves these poodle mixes.
Speaker 1: She loves she wants a doodle. She wants a doodle.
Speaker 1: And I'm it's not even that the doodle thing. I
Speaker 1: just poodles for me. I mean, I would rather give
Speaker 1: me a Rottweiler with a mohawk that like is constantly
Speaker 1: slobbering over everybody and terrifying. Poodle would just be as
Speaker 1: a own. And I'm the poodle people, the audience, You're
Speaker 1: gonna get mad at me. And that's okay. That's just
Speaker 1: not a high choice dog for me. Poodle mix. I'm
Speaker 1: maybe okay with I President Miles, you said, is his name?
Speaker 1: I'm a squashed faced dog guy. I love bulldogs, pugs,
Speaker 1: a boxers, anything, brackie cephalic, any of those dogs I
Speaker 1: think are awesome. I'm super cute. We had a French
Speaker 1: bulldog in my family, by the way, eighteen that's like
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding. That's like getting I think the
Speaker 1: Guinness World record for a pug is like twenty or something.
Speaker 1: That's really anyway. Yeah, he looks like he's getting close. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1: I mean we keep thinking every time like Christmas rolls around,
Speaker 1: We're like, I don't know, this is gonna be the
Speaker 1: last year, and he's like, nah, screw you, I'm around
Speaker 1: for five more. So I don't know. We hope, we hope.
Speaker 1: So I need I need you. I need you to
Speaker 1: be Solomon here, Okay, I need you to help me.
Speaker 1: I need you to judge the situation. She wants a
Speaker 1: golden Doodle. I want basically an overgrown pug like an
Speaker 1: English bulldog. Is that would be mine? I'd get an
Speaker 1: English bulldog or something, but you know, pug would be fine.
Speaker 1: Pug would be fine. It's funny. It's like you, because
Speaker 1: you're so is our better option here to go with?
Speaker 1: And I'm not even kidding. We've talked about this Golden Retriever.
Speaker 1: We feel like splits. The difference is Golden Retriever the
Speaker 1: move or do we each get the breed of dog
Speaker 1: that we want and just have two dogs? Wow, this
Speaker 1: isn't a fascinating or fascinating dynamic you're talking about here,
Speaker 1: let me give you a quick breakdown of the situation.
Speaker 1: I love pugs. We've had two pugs. They're awesome dogs,
Speaker 1: like the best, like temperament they are. All they care
Speaker 1: about is hanging out with you. They will play with
Speaker 1: you every second you want to play with them, and
Speaker 1: then the second you're done, they just pull off on
Speaker 1: the floor. You not to deal with them at all.
Speaker 1: Like they are awesome, awesome, awesome dogs, and I love them.
Speaker 1: We had one. Our previous dog who passed away was sixteen,
Speaker 1: so we got some good years out of both of
Speaker 1: these dogs. They were awesome. That the Golden retriever, she's
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody knows Golden Retriemers are great dogs. They're big,
Speaker 1: obviously they're bigger um and but you again, you can
Speaker 1: have a lot of fun. You can you go to
Speaker 1: the park and throw the ball, but they'll also curl
Speaker 1: up next to you. They you know, they're just a
Speaker 1: great temperament dogs. The Golden doodle is interesting. So we
Speaker 1: there's like multiple varieties. Are thickens there, missus Sexton, go ahead, no, no,
Speaker 1: I So you have the Golden Doodle and like I
Speaker 1: will be honest with you, like I'm not like in
Speaker 1: love with the look of the golden dudol, especially the
Speaker 1: ones that look like giraffes right where they have the
Speaker 1: like really long legs and they're super tall. Now our
Speaker 1: little dog's got she's a microdoodle, so I think like
Speaker 1: second to smallest side. I think there's four sizes. She's
Speaker 1: the second to smallest. M a little little dog. She's adorable,
Speaker 1: like SuperM like almost like sheepish, like she's super in
Speaker 1: look as well, but like it's like super like she'll
Speaker 1: just kind of sleep walk up really slow like slink in.
Speaker 1: She's like always loves to be pack like as soon
Speaker 1: as you stop petting her, shell like put her nose
Speaker 1: under your hand for you to begin again. Like she
Speaker 1: constantly wants attention. Awesome dog, you know I love her.
Speaker 1: One big difference here, and I don't know what your
Speaker 1: dynamic is with this buck, but I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: you it's a big one. In our house, a lot
Speaker 1: of hair coming off of golden Colden retrievers and pucks.
Speaker 1: Every you pick up your pug, your whole shirt is
Speaker 1: hair your petting your dog. There's hairywhere this gold this
Speaker 1: golden doodle thing is like magic. I have I wear
Speaker 1: a black suit on the air. I carry this dog
Speaker 1: in a black suit and not one hair on me.
Speaker 1: It is like a miracle of modern sciences. Missus Sexton
Speaker 1: is like cheering when she hears this. She's standing ovation
Speaker 1: she's this is her this is her checkmate argument because
Speaker 1: because you ask, the temperaments are very good. But she says,
Speaker 1: with the doodles, you don't have to worry about hair
Speaker 1: clean up everywhere, and especially if she's going to be
Speaker 1: you know, ten, making sure that our apartment or house
Speaker 1: looks nice. You know, ah damn it? So all right,
Speaker 1: So so this this brings me back to where I am,
Speaker 1: you know. But and you also have multiple dogs. So
Speaker 1: I guess I guess we're gonna have to land here on.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just gonna give the wife what she wants
Speaker 1: because that makes her happy and happy wife, happy life.
Speaker 1: I think that's probably where I'm going. Look kind of
Speaker 1: good argument here. Can I just tell you my my
Speaker 1: third my third party ticket idea, as in, just like
Speaker 1: nuke the system, which hopefully we don't see in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. Do you know Stu that in this state
Speaker 1: of Florida, you can get it's very easy. You can
Speaker 1: get like a Class three animal license, I think they
Speaker 1: call it, and then you can legally have a raccoon
Speaker 1: a fox. There's a whole range. And I'm like, all right, honey, fine,
Speaker 1: you want no shedding. Raccoons don't shed. And she's like,
Speaker 1: but of course, then I see like my marriage flashing
Speaker 1: before my eyes and she's like, not, that's like not happening.
Speaker 1: But anyway, you'll be turning into buck exotic. Didn't have
Speaker 1: your own like tiger farm somewhere. It's right around the car. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you pet fox or pet raccoon, though this is my
Speaker 1: last one for you. Oh I'm going to pet fox
Speaker 1: all day on that. But I think you know, the
Speaker 1: raccoon is I think an angry we just we just learned.
Speaker 1: Of course, it wasn't a lab leak at all in Wuhan.
Speaker 1: It was from raccoon dogs. And I feel like, I
Speaker 1: don't know how raccoon dogs you get together on what
Speaker 1: kind of party creates a raccoon dog where like raccoons
Speaker 1: and dogs or hanging out and who knows what it
Speaker 1: comes on in the back room. But I mean they've
Speaker 1: killed millions of us with COVID. I don't want those
Speaker 1: things around. I was gonna say, a mutant trash panda
Speaker 1: causing a virus. Not not a surprise, right, not a surprise? No, No,
Speaker 1: that would make sense to keep them out of your
Speaker 1: any meals you might be preparing this weekend. So everybody
Speaker 1: should go check out stew Does America the podcast and
Speaker 1: uh and check it out on TV as well. I
Speaker 1: assume it's up on the Blaze dot com and on YouTube.
