1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Welcome again, Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: you hanging out with us as we roll through the

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of the program. I am here in Washington,

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: d C. Buck is in South Florida. We're going to

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: be joined by Marsha Blackburn, Senator from Tennessee at the

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: bottom of this hour. Next hour, we're going to be

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: joined by Riley Gaines to talk about the insanity that

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: still is going on in athletics everywhere, with men pretending

9
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: to be women and winning championships everywhere. But I wanted

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: to mention this Buck. There have been nine corrections from

11
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's speech to the N DOUBLEACP according to the

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: White House transcript of that speech. The reason why I

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: bring that up is yesterday we played Joe Biden saying

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: at the N DOUBLEACP speech that Barack Obama sent him

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: to Detroit to deal with the pandemic. The White House

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: later changed that in the transcript to say that Biden

17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: was supposed to have been saying the recession when he

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: went to Detroit to deal with the recession and the

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: challenge to the American automotive industry. He's reading off a teleprompter.

20
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: He got the pandemic mixed up with the recession. They

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: changed that nine changes overall, eight additional changes from him

22
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: being unable to just read off a prompter. This also

23
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: happened yesterday. We have talked a great deal on this

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: program about the fact that there remain five American citizens

25
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: being held hostage by Hamas. They now have been in

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: hamas's control. Was it coming up on eight months? I mean,

27
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: it's a crazy amount of time that these American hostages

28
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: have been held and have not been released. Biden barely

29
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: speaks about him at all. He finally talked about one

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: of those hostages at a White House event. This is

31
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: a hostage who has had his arm blown off trying

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: to save people's lives. His parents were there. Listen to

33
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: Biden try to talk about this and listen to this

34
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: screw up. Play it, Minuss.

35
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: You're working around the clock to free their main hostages,

36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: just as we have freed. Hostage is already and here

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: this today is hersh Goldberg, Poland, and there is still

38
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: he is not here with us, but he's still being

39
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: held by AMAS. And Rachel and John are here with

40
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: his stand up guns.

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: I mean Buck, first of all, you can barely understand

42
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: anything he is saying here, reading directly off the transcript

43
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: the teleprompter. But can you imagine an error where you say, hey,

44
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: we free to hostage. Oh sorry, he's not actually here.

45
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Hamas still has him, but his parents are here. Brian

46
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Biden's brain is mush. I hope that this actually leads

47
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: the American media to be asking questions, Hey, by the way,

48
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: why are there still five American citizens being held hostage?

49
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: Why is Hamas still allowed to do this? Shouldn't be

50
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: allowed to do it for anybody, but for the President

51
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: of the United States, who's giving millions and millions of

52
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: our taxpayer dollars to the people of Gaza. Shouldn't a

53
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: precondition on any support that we give them at all

54
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: be that our American citizen hostages have to be released immediately.

55
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: And to mess that up in front of the parents

56
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: whose son has been a hostage for over seven months now,

57
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: it's embarrassing and it's indefensible.

58
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I also would want to know when has

59
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: Joe Biden expressed that there will be consequences for taking

60
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: these Americans right question, likely torturing and murdering them. You know,

61
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: there's a lot of we're working, you know, we're working

62
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: to diplomatically get our people back or something. He's dealing

63
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: with barbarians who will do the worst things imaginable. That

64
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: is what Hamas and the Palestinians who are part of

65
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: Hamas are. They've shown that, not just in October seventh,

66
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: but that's been the case for a long time. And

67
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: where is the you guys give us back our Americans

68
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: or every person involved will be will be hunted down,

69
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: dead or alive.

70
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, where is I know.

71
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: People say, oh, that's all Really remember how honestly remember

72
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 3: even how Obama used to talk about al Qaida and

73
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 3: the drone strikes and everything else. I mean, not only

74
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: would he boast about it, he would make jokes about it.

75
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: He's like, you know, we're gonna light you up in

76
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: the Pakistani tribal border areas. And they were like, oh,

77
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: Obama shouldn't be talking about this, and he was talking

78
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: about it publicly. Where's the sense that there will be

79
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: consequences from the American side for taking American citizens in.

80
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: All of this?

81
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: I think it just it goes to show you that

82
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: Biden's bigger concern. If you really line these things up

83
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: and it's tragic to say this, but I think it

84
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: is true to say it, so I will. Biden's bigger

85
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: concern is not the safety of the American hostages. It's

86
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: the political price he pays at home for sounding too

87
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: tough on the Hamas savages. That is what is going

88
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 3: on here. That is the calculation that he is making.

89
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: I also think this is important, and some of you

90
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: out there will remember this well. Buck and I were

91
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 3: too young to remember this when Jimmy Carter had hostages

92
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: in Iran as we were coming up on the nineteen

93
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 3: eighty election. The fact that Iran had taken our embassy

94
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: and had American hostages was an obsession of the American

95
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: news media, and the inability of Jimmy Carter to get

96
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: those hostages freed reflected a lot of the failures of

97
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,559
Speaker 3: his administration in general, the economic malaise, inflation, the fact

98
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: that many of you out there in the late seventies

99
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: felt that America was not firing on all cylinders, and

100
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 3: Jimmy carter'sd be minutt was a big reason why the media,

101
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: though drummed over and over and over again into the

102
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: American public's eyes and minds. The fact that these hostages

103
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: were over there and we couldn't get them back. Why

104
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: is nobody hardly ever, even seven months later, mentioning the

105
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: fact that there are still five American hostages and Joe

106
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: Biden's administration is too incompetent to get them back. Think

107
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 3: about buck the amount of time that the American media

108
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: has spent talking about whether there should be a ceasefire,

109
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: or what happens if Israel goes into this particular part

110
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: of Gaza, or what kind of humanitarian aid are we

111
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: going to provide. Shouldn't the number one focus of the

112
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 3: American news media in a truly honest America be on

113
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 3: the five hostages there.

114
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Think about this. Think about how much more the American

115
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: news media as a whole covered Britney Griner getting arrested

116
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: for violating a Russian drug law and being put in

117
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: prison there compared to how much they've covered five one

118
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: hundred percent innocent people, including one American that he just

119
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: tried to name there, who had his arm blown off

120
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: by the Hamas terrorist and recently they released a video

121
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: of him begging for basically help. I just think this

122
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: is a real failure of the American media to hold

123
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden accountable. Remember Buck, he went to Israel and

124
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: and we said on this show at the time, how

125
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: is Joe Biden not going out and saying, hey, this

126
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: issue is going to be resolved. But let me tell

127
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: you this right now, if every American hostage isn't released immediately,

128
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have holy hell to pay from the

129
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: United States. You do not touch the harm, harm the

130
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: hair of any American citizen. He didn't even say it.

131
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: He won't say their names. This is a big moral

132
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: failure of the Biden administration to stand up for all Americans.

133
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: Now, they were very vocal, as you pointed out about

134
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 3: Britney Griner and that you know, of course, the consequences

135
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: for Russia. I have not heard about consequences for Hamas

136
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 3: at all from this administration. I've basically heard pleading as

137
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: though Hamas are humanitarians. Where they took hostages here, they've murdered,

138
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: They've raped and murdered them. They've raped hostages that are

139
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: in their custody. They've murdered hostages that are in their

140
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: custody that they that they have taken at gunpoint after

141
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: in some cases massacring their entire families, and Biden thinks

142
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: pleading is going to he's what he's he's trying to,

143
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: you know, trying to make the appeal to their better

144
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 3: angels or something over there. I mean, is he out

145
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: of his mind? No, that the truth here is that

146
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: he's more worried about Muslims in Michigan than he is

147
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: about Americans in Gaza.

148
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: That is the truth.

149
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: Everything else is just noise around this, and the lives

150
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: of those Americans are less of less consequence to him

151
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 3: than what it does to his poll numbers in swing states.

152
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: Because this is how Democrats justify everything. Whatever it takes

153
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 3: to be in power is the good thing, because the

154
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 3: bad people otherwise will take over and ruin everything, which

155
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: is insane. But it is how they approach politics.

156
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: To me, the number one statement from America should be,

157
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: we will not even engage in conversations with you until

158
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: you release American hostages. And I make it clear here

159
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: I think that Hamas should have to release all of

160
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: their hostages. But as an American, I want my American

161
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: president to say, the hell with all of you. I'm

162
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: not negotiating at all on your behalf until we get

163
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: those American hostages returned with zero harm coming to them.

164
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: We don't know if these American hostages are still live.

165
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: We don't even know their names. Joe Biden won't even

166
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: mention them until just recently, and when he does, he

167
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to understand that there's still hostages. That clip

168
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,479
Speaker 1: that we played is an embarrassment.

169
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that a lot about Joe Biden is

170
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: an embarrassment, and so it's not surprising at all. But

171
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: the lack of any real progress on the Israel Hamas

172
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: issue and also the Russia Ukraine issue under Biden's tenure

173
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 3: is remarkable when you really line these things up. We

174
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 3: didn't even I'm not trying to divert from the Hamas thing,

175
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 3: but just if you're looking at foreign policy failures, we

176
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: talk a lot about economic failures, but we are giving

177
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 3: Ukraine I don't know what the number is now, two

178
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: hundred billion, probably an official aid. I mean, god knows

179
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: what we've given them via black ops, channels and other things,

180
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: but we're giving them a huge amount of money. They're

181
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 3: losing the war. Everybody you notice in the New York

182
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: Times isn't really We're spending a lot of time reporting

183
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: on this. There have been Russian advances. They cannot the

184
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: Ukrainians cannot take background, and increasingly they're demanding that we

185
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: operate some kind of a no fly zone to shoot

186
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 3: down incoming rockets. Well, the difference in a no fly

187
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 3: zone to shoot down rockets versus no flies on to

188
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: shoot down Russian planes is really small everybody. So they're

189
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 3: trying to basically drag us in, which we've been worried

190
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 3: about from the very beginning, and Joe Biden's falling toward that.

191
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: The situation with Israel Hamas is you haven't had the true,

192
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: forthright moral backing of Israel by the United States government

193
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: that you should have because Biden is worried about his

194
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: left flank going into the election. Muslims and far leftists

195
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: in this country who are pro Hamas or you know,

196
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: view the Palestinian cause is somehow so important to them,

197
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: and the only thing that's going on there is Israel

198
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 3: is prosecuting the war because it has to, and Biden

199
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 3: is hurting the US relationship with the Israeli state. Right,

200
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: it's just failures what I'm saying. It's failure across the board.

201
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 3: There's nothing you could point to and say, well, they

202
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: handled that one well. And this all happened on Biden's watch,

203
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: and I have to say, you know, yeah, there's some

204
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 3: luck involved, but it didn't happen on Trump's watch, and

205
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 3: I don't think it's an accident. I agree, and I

206
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 3: think if Trump is in office, I actually think Ukraine

207
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 3: Russia will get solved very quickly because both sides are

208
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: going to have to acknowledge that there is, to a

209
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 3: large extent, a stalemate. Russia's not giving up the territory

210
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 3: that they've taken, Ukraine can't take it back, and that's

211
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: going to be some sort of negotiated settlement. That's where

212
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 3: we're headed. And I don't even know what the goal.

213
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: Is at this point. I guess it's just to keep

214
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: Ukraine from completely collapsing and try to forestall things to

215
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: allow some sort of negotiated settlement to take place. But again,

216
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: everything Biden touches is turning the crap, and that's not

217
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: the word I want to use. Born from the tragedy

218
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: of nine to eleven, the Tunnel of the Towers Foundation

219
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: has supported our nation's heroes and their families ever since.

220
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: Heroes like Marine Corps Sergeant Adam Mayo who served our

221
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: nation for over seven years before he was severely injured

222
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: during training. He was left paralyzed from the chest down,

223
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: severely limiting his ability to move around his home independently.

224
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: Tunnel the Towers paid Sergeant Mayo's mortgage, removing a financial

225
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: burden for him and his family. The foundation gave him

226
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: a specially adapted smart home designed for his specific needs.

227
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: Tunnel the Towers helps injured service members and first responders,

228
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: as well as Gold Star families and the families of

229
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: fallen first responders. It's already come to the aid of

230
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: so many heroes and their families by providing mortgage free homes.

231
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: The foundation is also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness. Join

00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 3: What's up John, Yes, sir, you're on the air.

249
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 6: Hello, Yes, thank you for taking my call. Guys love

250
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 6: listener to your show. Yes, I think you're off. Joe

251
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 6: Biden has proved to us for the last forty five

252
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 6: years he's a pathological liar. Uh, you call it dementia,

253
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 6: you call him sleepy Joe, whatever, It's just a continuation.

254
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: Literally, I think I said yesterday that he's a horrible

255
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: person with no ethics and lies all the time. So

256
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: to be fair, I can appreciate you wanting to hammer

257
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: home the point, but I don't think you're telling me

258
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: or Clay anything that we don't already know.

259
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: I think that thanks for the call. I think the

260
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: difference is Joe Biden has been a path away logical

261
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: liar for a long time, but his brain actually worked

262
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: in some way when he was lying in nineteen eighty eight.

263
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: His delivery of the lies is now legitimately compromised. Yeah,

264
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: that's a different thing, meaning like the words, the saying.

265
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: I think legitimately he has trouble knowing buck what the

266
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: actual truth is now in a way that forty years

267
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: ago he didn't. I think he was intentionally lyying forty

268
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: years ago.

269
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: I mean I remember my grandfather, who was a great

270
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: man and a you know, a Navy combat veteran for

271
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: World War Two. I remember when he was Biden's age,

272
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: and you know, like bringing him tea and putting a

273
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: blanket over his knees and like having him tell me stories,

274
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: and like that's a lot of what you're going to

275
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: do when you're you know, if you're lucky, when you're

276
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: you know, grandfatherly age. It's not being leader of the

277
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: free world, you know, when when you've slowed down like that.

278
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: And that's but you know, they still think Biden, for

279
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: some reason, is going to be able to get it

280
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: done for the Democrats. Todd in South Dakota.

281
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: What's going on?

282
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 6: Todd?

283
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, I wonder if we're just playing with fire

284
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 4: by constantly quoting the polls Trump is up in six

285
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 4: of the seven battleground states, or Trump is up five

286
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 4: percent nationally. In twenty sixteen, Hillary was a ninety nine

287
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 4: percent lock to have be elected president. She had her

288
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: cabinet already picked, and twenty twenty two, the big red

289
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 4: wave was coming. Clay signed off the eve election eve

290
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: and was just giddy to get to the stroop the

291
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 4: next morning to say, how, so what would you have

292
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: us do? That's nose in it and.

293
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: So what yeah, what would you have us do?

294
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm just we're can't put too much

295
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 4: weight in time.

296
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 3: I mean, Todd, I appreciate it. I would say, you know,

297
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: first of all, I don't find me somebody on the

298
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 3: right who didn't think the twenty twenty two was going

299
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 3: to be a really good year. And I'll find you

300
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 3: somebody who's basically been rewriting. I'm talking about people that

301
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 3: work in our business. You know, Tucker thought it was

302
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: going to be a red wave. I mean, you get

303
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: on the list. Anybody over at Fox thought it was

304
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: going to be a red wave because there was a

305
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: data all reflected that. It was a data all reflect

306
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: that it would be. Every time we talk about these polls,

307
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 3: we say this is today. It could all change. This

308
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: is today. The election is a long time away. This

309
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 3: is today. Pedal to the medal. We're not going to

310
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: not observe what Sorry for the double negative. We're not

311
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 3: going to fail to observe what's going on right now

312
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: in the polling, because that wouldn't be fair to the

313
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 3: political climate we're in. I'll say this, Clay, I think

314
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 3: the narrative was supposed to be based on these trials,

315
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 3: that Trump was unelectable and they were going to hammer

316
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 3: that he can't win. They were going to actually suppress

317
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: turnout that way. The polls clearly show he can win.

318
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: We're not saying he will win.

319
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: Also, go vote early often, Get everybody you know to

320
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: go vote. There's nothing worth saying about the current picture

321
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: of the electorate When no one can vote yet, that

322
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: should discourage you from going and voting and having your

323
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: voice heard. Alberto in Florida. What you got Oh wait, no,

324
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: we got to go to Alberto. We'll get back to him.

325
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: We've got to go to a break here for a second.

326
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 3: There's an adage I think attributed to Plato wise men

327
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 3: speak as they have something to say, fools because they

328
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 3: have to say something. Well, look, my friend Porter Stansbury,

329
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: he's the former. He's a wise man when it comes

330
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 3: to our nation's economy and where it's all heading. Porter's

331
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 3: the host of a new documentary, America's Last Election. Yeah

332
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: you heard that one right, America's Last Election. It's online

333
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: and it's telling you where everything is heading. Years ago,

334
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 3: Porter warned us at the collapse of major lenders, and

335
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 3: he predicted the two thousand and eight financial crisis. This

336
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: is a guy who sees the pathway before others do

337
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: and helps you prepare for what's coming financially, politically, you

338
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 3: name it, how you work, where you live, how you

339
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: plan for retirement. Nothing may ever be the same. Last

Speaker 1: Welcome back, in appreciate all of you hanging out with

345
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: us and talking about the fact that I am in

346
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: DC and freedom. One oh four point seven hour DC

347
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: affiliate just down the road from Capitol Hill. And we

348
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: are joined now by Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, who

349
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: is in the midst of what's going to be another

350
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: crazy legislative rush. Here as we move towards the election,

351
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: I want to reiterate for anyone out there in the

352
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: state of Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn up for reelection. You're going

353
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: to win comfortably. I'll say it. Your opponent is crazy.

354
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: It's not going to be close. But I want everybody

355
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: to show up and make sure that they vote in

356
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: my home state of Tennessee for Senator Marsha Blackburn. All right, Senator,

357
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: let's start here five and a half months until the election.

358
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: You're going to win. You don't have to say it.

359
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: I'll say it for you. Trump is going to win Tennessee.

360
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty clear our home state. What are

361
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: you seeing in terms of the national political landscape. We've

362
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: got this crazy trial going on in New York City.

363
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: How good of a position do you think Trump is

364
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: in to win nationally? The Senate, So huge for you

365
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: guys to have the majority back. Looking good in West Virginia,

366
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: looking good in Montana, Ohio, Many other battleground states out there,

367
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: what would be sort of your big picture of view.

368
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: As we said about five and a half months from

369
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: the election.

370
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 7: One of the things we're hearing from people is immigration.

371
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 7: That border, the lack of border security is something that

372
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 7: is issue number one, and of course Joe Biden bears

373
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 7: the responsibility for this. Under President Donald Trump, the border

374
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 7: was secured. Biden has led in over ten million illegal aliens.

375
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 7: On top of that, he has parolled, given parole status,

376
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 7: flying them into the country, over four hundred thousand of

377
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 7: those coming into the country. And these individuals are given

378
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 7: work permits, they are given benefits, and people are seeing

379
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 7: the uptick in crime in their communities, the human trafficking,

380
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 7: sex trafficking, and of course the drug trafficking infentanyl. So

381
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 7: that is item number one, and people hold Joe Biden

382
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 7: and the Democrats to account for that. The other thing

383
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 7: is inflation. In Tennessee. Families are spending about twelve thousand

384
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 7: dollars per year more than they were spending when Donald

385
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 7: Trump left office. And you know, Joe Biden keeps trying

386
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 7: to say inflation was nine percent when he took office,

387
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 7: But bless his heart, he's just I mean, you know

388
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 7: some things you just get.

389
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: I love when I hear Southern grandma say blessed his

390
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: heart because you know what's going to come next is

391
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: going to be devastating. And that was Buck. Have you

392
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: gotten used to that. I don't know if Florida they

393
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: drop the bless his heart or bless her heart very often,

394
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: but that is the southern grandpa and grandma line that

395
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: is about to cut the legs out coming right after. Oh,

396
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: I've picked up on this one. I've been the recipient

397
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: once or twice of a blessed his heart, and so

398
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: I know exactly what's going on.

399
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 7: Well, you know, you're in trouble and Joe Biden's in

400
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 7: trouble with the American people on this issue of inflation

401
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 7: because when you see the price at the pump up

402
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 7: fifty five percent to heat and cool the house forty percent,

403
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 7: groceries twenty five percent, rent up over thirty percent, then

404
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 7: it is hitting the pocketbook. And it's those kitchen table

405
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 7: economics that are just really doing a number on people,

406
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 7: and all across the state, I hear from people every

407
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 7: single day about the impact of inflation on their daily lives.

408
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 7: So this border and Biden inflation is these are things

409
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 7: that people are paying close attention to.

410
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 3: And Senator Blackburn, I know that you are teaming up

411
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 3: with Senator Haggerty on legislation to address violent crime. One

412
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 3: of the weaknesses that Democrats have just as a general man,

413
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: is they've shown in recent years, well for a long time,

414
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: but particularly in recent years, they have all the wrong

415
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: ideas on crime reduction. In fact, a lot of their

416
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: policies make crime far more prevalent. What is the legislation

417
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 3: that you are working on and how would it address

418
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 3: the issue of violent crime specifically.

419
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, and there are three pieces that I'm pushing forward

420
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 7: it Judiciary Committee, and as you mentioned, Senator Haggerdy and

421
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 7: I have the Restoring Law and Order, which is a

422
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 7: series of grants to local law enforcement so they can

423
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 7: address these gangs and the drug crimes, the trafficking that's

424
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 7: taking place in their communities. We came up with this

425
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 7: after some issues in Memphis. Memphis is a city that

426
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 7: saw nearly four hundred homicides last year and they are

427
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 7: struggling to get their own around crime. In addition to that,

428
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 7: I have legislation that would end these cashless bill policies.

429
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 1: These woke das.

430
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 7: And woke judges that are letting people go who are

431
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 7: violent criminals. These people need to be locked up and

432
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 7: cash bill needs to be a standard. Also, adhering to

433
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 7: those sentencing guidelines would be a help. In addition to this,

434
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 7: I have a bipartisan bill that Cortes Masto and I

435
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 7: are doing that deals with after school activities for kids

436
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 7: and put some money, focuses some attention on that kids

437
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 7: are recruited into gangs between three and six o'clock in

438
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 7: the afternoon, and kids that commit crimes they are happening

439
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 7: between three and six o'clock in the afternoon. So this

440
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 7: is this after School Act would put some at on

441
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 7: these groups that provide those after school activities and guidance

442
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 7: for kids.

443
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: I know you went to an SEC school. You and

444
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: I talked before Tennessee beat Alabama two years ago, maybe

445
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: the greatest college football game in Tennessee football history. Sorry

446
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: Alabama fans think they're going to beat you again in October.

447
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: By the way, when you see all these campus protests

448
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: and you see people lining up for hamas, and you

449
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: saw so many southern schools where there it's North Carolina,

450
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: you're an seclum. I'm an seclum. When you saw so

451
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: many students on so many campuses stand up to those protesters,

452
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: why do you think SEC schools got it right and

453
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: so many Ivy League schools got it wrong? And what

454
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: do you take as both a parent and a grandparent.

455
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: I know you've got kids, grandkids who are going to

456
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: be going off to school soon. In terms of what

457
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: they're learning at these schools.

458
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 7: One of the things that has has made such an

459
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 7: impression on me is the lack of attention to rules

460
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 7: and law and order at these Ivy League schools. The

461
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 7: fact that anti Semitism would be tolerated, the fact that

462
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 7: there would not be an administration in these schools that

463
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 7: would stand up and say we don't conduct ourselves in

464
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 7: that manner and would say no, you can't do this.

465
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 7: And then the SEC schools by and large just said no,

466
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 7: if you want to carry out a peaceful protest, here's

467
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 7: the process. But you don't go around shouting death to

468
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 7: America or identifying Think about this, on these college campuses,

469
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 7: you've got people that are self identifying with a terrorist organization. Yeah,

470
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 7: and you've got schools in the South, A lot of

471
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 7: these SEC schools that have just said no, we are

472
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 7: not going to do that, and they didn't put up

473
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 7: with it, and I think that's been one of the

474
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 7: big differences. But I have talked to people whose students,

475
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 7: high school students are now looking at Southern schools instead

476
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 7: of an IVY league because they don't want to go

477
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 7: somewhere where they can't speak their mind or can't have

478
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 7: a point and a counterpoint. And some of these leftist

479
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 7: professors have forgotten that it is robust, respectful, bipartisan debate

480
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 7: that has kept this country free and it is important.

481
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 7: And now they have gone so far left that they're

482
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 7: out here shouting in support of a terrorist organization and

483
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 7: carrying out these rallies. I will tell you this, if

484
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 7: I were if I had that decision to make any

485
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 7: of these students that are on visas, I would yank

486
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 7: their visa. I would deport them immediately. If they're getting

487
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 7: a federally backed student loan, I would make them ineligible

488
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 7: for any kind of loan forgiveness. I would pull that loan.

489
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 7: And if they self identify with a terrorist organization, I

490
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 7: would add them to the terrorist watch list and be

491
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 7: sure that they're on the no fly list.

492
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 3: Speaking the Senator Marshall Blackburn and Senator the Biden White

493
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: House is putting pressure. Joe Biden himself, we're told, is

494
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 3: putting pressure on Democrat senators to go along with a resurrection,

495
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: if you will of the so called bipartisan border security bill.

496
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 3: Is this just talking points from the White House? And

497
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 3: what do they think they're going to achieve by trying

498
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 3: to pressure senators to get something past they can't get passed,

499
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 3: and they certainly wouldn't get it in the House.

500
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 7: Well, Buck, what we have heard is some of the

501
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 7: Senators are on the record having said they're getting killed

502
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 7: on the immigration issue. But it is a border security issue.

503
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 7: So they've got it wrong from the outset, and they

504
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 7: are putting pressure on Chuck's Chuck Schumer to do a

505
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 7: if you will immigration bill. Well, that what they're proposing

506
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 7: does not deal with the influx at the border. Like

507
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 7: I said, you're looking at ten million plus or minus

508
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 7: people that have come across that southern border. That's a

509
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 7: population that is greater than all but eight of our

510
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 7: cities in this country. The ten million is greater than

511
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 7: the population of thirty eight of our states. So we've

512
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 7: got to realize that people are saying, let's get this

513
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 7: border secure. They want to make certain that they stop

514
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 7: seeing these impacts and so now and in a ploy,

515
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 7: what they're doing is saying, Okay, let's put a bill

516
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 7: out here, and it's kind of a fake immigration bill,

517
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 7: and let's put it out here. It's going to be

518
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 7: a bad bill. All the Democrats will vote for it,

519
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 7: no Republicans will vote for it. Then the bill will

520
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 7: go over to the House. The House will do nothing,

521
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 7: and we're going to blame all the Republicans. Now, in

522
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 7: Chuck Schumer's world, that is the answer to the problem.

523
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 7: It is a political situation. But what we know the

524
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 7: American people want to see is actually having a border

525
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 7: barrier that which border patrol has told us for years

526
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 7: they need that. They want to see that, they want

527
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 7: to see better technology on that border. They want to

528
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 7: make certain that you're going to stop this flow of

529
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 7: drugs and gangs into our country. And they're not seeing

530
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 7: that from this Admits administration. You go talk to any

531
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 7: sheriff in Tennessee, they will tell you they cannot deal

532
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 7: with drugs and crime and gangs until the southern border

533
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 7: is secure.

534
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: We're talking to Senator Marsha Blackburn. I encourage all of

535
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: you who are in my home state of Tennessee to

536
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: make sure you get out and vote for her this fall. Senator,

537
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: we appreciate the time, appreciate you coming by our DC studio.

538
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 7: Absolutely, they can keep up with me at Marsha blackburn

539
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 7: dot com.

540
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: Phenomenal And if you're out there listening and you're applying

541
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: to schools, SEC schools, not a bad place to be,

542
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: huh the best. We'll talk more about that from up

543
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: here in DC. In the meantime, I want to tell

544
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: you Memorial Day weekend coming up, and we take a

545
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: minute to remember the sacrifices the men, the women, their

546
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: families have all volunteered an entire day where we talk

547
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: and support those who protected and defending our freedoms. Pure

548
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: Talk is a veteran rown run company and a company

549
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: that continues to support our military and they're partnering with

550
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: an organization, America's Warrior Partnership to help prevent veterans suicide.

551
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: Sergeant first Class Nita one military veteran who has received

552
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: needed help from America's Warrior Partnership before the Sergeant Nita

553
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: ended her fifteen years of service with the Army, she

554
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: found out she was pregnant with a second child. A

555
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: few months later, she was laid off from her civilian

556
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: job amidst her pregnancy. Her unemployment was soon cut off

557
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: and the compensation she received from the VA wasn't enough

558
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: to take care of her family and survive. With bills

559
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: begin to pile up, she was at her wits end.

560
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: That's when America's Warrior Partnership stepped in with much needed

561
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: financial and emotional support. She's forever grateful for their help

562
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: at the right time, and you can help impact the

563
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,960

576
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 3: I wanted to just take a moment here to commemorate

577
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: one of the great moments in the history of Western

578
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: American cinema. I would say, my favorite movie to this

579
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: day of all time, despite all of its flaws, and

580
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 3: I am familiar with all of the flaws, I don't care.

581
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 3: I love it anyway, Clay, Braveheart was released twenty nine

582
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 3: years ago this week. I cannot believe it has been

583
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 3: almost thirty years since Braveheart came out. It is a

584
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: great historical epic, although for history I think you'd probably have.

585
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: To give it a c.

586
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: It's a Scottish movie, almost entirely filmed in Ireland, where

587
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 3: people in the thirteenth century are dressed like they're in

588
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 3: the eighteenth century. There's a lot of stuff with it

589
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 3: that does but I don't care. I love it anyway.

590
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 3: Is it one of your favorites? Do you celebrate it?

591
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 6: What?

592
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 1: Do you think? It's fantastic? And you know the history

593
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: on this better than me. If they had gotten all

594
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: the history right, would the movie have been worse. It

595
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: frustrates me when the historical accuracy would not actually fundamentally

596
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: alter the movie itself and they still screw it up.

597
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: So would the movie still have been good if they

598
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: had gotten everything historically accurate or at least within the

599
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: bounds of historical accuracy, right, I.

600
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 3: Mean, the only quibble that I really have is I

601
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: think they could have done. I've seen the actual site

602
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 3: because I've been to the Wallace Monument because obviously I'm

603
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 3: a weirdo for this stuff.

604
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: You want to talk, you know, went to Scotland recently.

605
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I was in Scotland with Kerry, I was like, Honey,

606
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 3: We're going to the William Wallace Monument, which I think

607
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 3: is just full of Americans. By the way, I think

608
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 3: all the Americans who go to Scotland are like, Hey,

609
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 3: the William Wallace Monument.

610
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: And so we showed up there.

611
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: But you can see from the top of it the

612
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 3: actual site of a wall of Sterling Castle, which is

613
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: an amazing historical site itself, and then Sterling Bridge where

614
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 3: it would have been a bend in the river and

615
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 3: they ambushed the forces of Edward the lung shanks Edward

616
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: the second there it was not as it was shown

617
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 3: in the movie, which was kind of like a cavalry

618
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 3: charge and all the rest of it. But Clay, to

619
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: your point, it is so awesome. I don't care. And

620
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 3: there are some movies where the Rock is absurd and

621
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 3: there are huge holes in the movie The Rock with

622
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 3: Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, but I don't care because

623
00:35:58,520 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 3: it's so awesome.

624
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,359
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to tell me when you

625
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: started that prelude that you were celebrating the fortieth anniversary

626
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: of Roadhouse being released, because did you see that story. No,

627
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: I think yesterday was the fortieth anniversary of the release

628
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 1: of the Patrick Swayzee epic Roadhouse, and I legitimately, as

629
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: you were running through your description, I thought, Oh, he's

630
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna be telling me about Roadhouse. This is all about Roadhouse.

631
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 3: Another very entertaining movie that maybe is objectively absurd, but

632
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 3: still great, and so I would put it in that category.

633
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Also, just remade Set with Jake Gillenhall, if I remember correctly,

634
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: down in Key West.

635
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 7: As.

636
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 3: You can't remake a classic like that one, the Cohen

637
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: testimonies over the trial, all that good stuff. We'll hit

638
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: it coming back in a minute,
