1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: A big come here from overseas in the the least

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: down into Texas with our man The Bizarre of Talk,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: Michael Berry, The Bizarre of Talk joins us. Now, mister Barry,

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: fantastic to have you as always first, Actually, before we

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: get into the primary, can.

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: Just say aggressive opening. It's very aggressive music off chose.

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: Oh the opening music.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, we like high energy choice but very aggressive.

9
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: Well, let's get the band here. I might see him tonight.

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 3: Actually interesting that you admit it and that you bring

11
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 3: it up because I'm doing a big charity songwriting event tonight,

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 3: not not me, but I'm going and they typically come

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: out and perform and they are huge fans of Rush,

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 3: and you probably are not going to be surprised, Michael,

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: and they're fans of this show too because they have

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: great tasting radio. But a lot of musicians, when you

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 3: ask to use their music and then they find out

18
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 3: what your politics are, they either try to refuse to

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: allow you to use the music, or, as we have

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: seen happen, they start to extort you and how much

21
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: you're going to have to pay in order to lose

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: their music. So so they're fine with the politics, but

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to pay a lot more, and so

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 3: we wanted to find a band and a song My

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: Own Worst Enemy, that was a little bit youthful in

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: the nineties. That is a popular song now for a

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: lot of kids coming up now. It's cycled back as well. Uh,

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: but also from people that we knew would never say, hey,

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: we're going to extort you because we hate your politics.

30
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 3: We wanted guys that were behind to squarely in the

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: bandlet is so we're not.

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: I remember when when y'all started with them and you

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: kind of explained the choice. I thought it was it

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: was an inspired choice because it wasn't so obvious. And

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: it is a good it's good pacing for the show.

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: It's high energy. You know, you guys are young and aggressive,

37
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: and I mean it says everything you want to say.

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: So I started to interrupt you both.

39
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: It's okay, A no, I mean, do you want to

40
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: also help us figure out how to solve mid EA's

41
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: piece and maybe get some good Republicans out of this

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: primary in your state? You know, I don't want to

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: detract from our music discussion, but.

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: Sorry, we're talking college football and music things that we

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: could talk about CIA. If that'll make you happy, but

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: that's later this week.

47
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Well that's pretty much what everyone's talking about right now, Michael. Well,

48
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: let's take you into Texas and tell us about this primary,

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: which is going to be unfortunately a little overshadowed by

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: a lot of bombs dropping overseas. Okay, but big primary

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: in Texas. What are the main races? What are you watching?

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: What are you seeing so far?

53
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: Well, interestingly, you know what happened in Iran is sucking

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: up all the energy in the room, this show, Fox

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: and everywhere else, so right, because this is what people

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: want to talk about. This is a big deal. But

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: then we had kind of an aftermatch shooting in Austin.

58
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: My son's at UT as you know, and so every

59
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: parent of a UT kid and everybody that lives in

60
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: the Austin area is concerned about this. And the guy's

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: wearing a property of a La sweatshirts. So we expect

62
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: to see these terror cell killings and these sort of

63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: reaction killings. So those two things are going to affect

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: a turnout that was expected to be about forty percent

65
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: of our total turnout. So we're watching that very closely

66
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: because that could mean that the turnout is lower and

67
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: the late impact is reduced. But the biggest race is

68
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: the US Senate race, where four term Senator John Cornyan,

69
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: who Trump doesn't care for, did not endorse, called on

70
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 2: Trump not to run. He's part of the kind of

71
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: John Stune, Mitch McConnell, and really even Susan Collins and

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 2: Lisa Murkowski cabal and the Texas base has had enough

73
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: of him. He has not won, but two strong challengers

74
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: Wesley Hunt, a congressman, and Ken Paxton who's leading the

75
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: race who's trump beloved attorney General. So we're hoping to

76
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: bounce John Cornyan and send the swamp a message. We've

77
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: got another Congressman, Dan Crenshaw, who I worked my tail

78
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: off to get elected in twenty eighteen, and he's turned

79
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 2: on everybody from Trump to his district, and we're hoping

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: to bounce him as well. And it's the only Republican

81
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: incumbent congressman that Trump didn't endorse in that race too.

82
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: So a couple of big themes going on there with

83
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: the base saying and much to my delight, that we've

84
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: had it with the insiders who go to DC and

85
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: promise one thing but vote the other way.

86
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: Michael A. Big discussion that we've been having on the

87
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 3: program is last week we had a ton of people

88
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 3: calling in saying that they were voting in the Democrat

89
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: primary because they wanted Jasmine Crockett to be the nominee.

90
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: It seems to me likely you tell me if I'm

91
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: wrong that the Republican nominee is not going to be

92
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: selected in the Senate because I think it requires over

93
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: fifty percent, and as you just said, there are three

94
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: candidates that are running, so there probably is going to

95
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: be a runoff in late May. Let me know if

96
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: I get any of this wrong. Whereas it's likely that

97
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: the Democrats are going to be picking their Senate nominee tomorrow,

98
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: So would you advise or tell people not to do it,

99
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: that they should vote in the Senate on the Democrat side.

100
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of other races, but what

101
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: have you been telling your audience? How would you analyze that?

102
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: You know, look from when Rush did Operation Chaos in

103
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight, especially in Pennsylvania, it was a

104
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: blast because we were saying to support Hillary over Barack,

105
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: which was kind of ironic and it was a lot

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: of fun. But we already had our Republican nominee. In

107
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 2: this case, we don't, and we have a chance to

108
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: bounce a swamp creature who's a really bad guy. So

109
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: I tell people vote in our primary. We're not seeing

110
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 2: that number. Republican primary voting is up twenty five percent

111
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: this time. It's up two hundred and fifty percent, or

112
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: a time and a half over what it was the

113
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: Democrats from twenty twenty two. So Democrats are very energized,

114
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: which is quite odd here. I would like to see

115
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: Jasmine Crockett win because I think she's a terrible general

116
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: election candidate. But we had this whole theme Clay going on.

117
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: They call it black girl magic, where you've got this

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: these black women who are kind of this type of character,

119
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: who are now running with a huge base of support.

120
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: But the question is can they win a general election race. No,

121
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: they're going to scare the hell out of Texans who

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: are going to say, oh my goodness, we cannot have

123
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: Jasmine Crockett as the Senate candidate. But I think Tall

124
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: Rico is beatable as well. I want people to vote

125
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: to be corny, and that's that's my hope. And there

126
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: are a lot of other races that are really important.

127
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: We've got some Bellweather cases of the base, the Tea Party,

128
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: the MAGA, the America First versus Swamp candidates in the

129
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: state House, Senate, in US Congress.

130
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: What did Cornyn do? We're talking to Michael Barry Zar

131
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: of Talk. You all know him from well all of

132
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: his fantastic hours on radio.

133
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 3: What did cornn do?

134
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: Or just give us some sense when you're talking about

135
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: the swamp creatures, right, Corny? And you also put Dan

136
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: Crenshaw on there because Dan, I got to say, I

137
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: don't know Dan Crenshaw. I've never met him. I don't

138
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: think I've ever interviewed him. Maybe once, but I don't

139
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't remember ever interviewing him. No personal beef with

140
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: him at all. For a wounded Navy seal that to

141
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: be a Republican member of Congress from Texas and have

142
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: so many people in the base so really angry at him,

143
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: there's got to be something going on, and I can't

144
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: speak to what it is.

145
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: I really don't know.

146
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: All I know is that whenever I see Crenshaw's name

147
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: pop up among people who are all in on MAGA,

148
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: I hear a lot of criticism, a lot of we

149
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: can't trust him.

150
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: What happened there?

151
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: Tell me about Crenshaw corning, because you're saying it's important

152
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: to get better candidates.

153
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: I busted my butt to get Dan Crenshaw elected, and

154
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 2: I have regretted it from three months after that fact.

155
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: He's turned every Navy seal that's public out there, from

156
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: Sean Ryan to David Goggins to Eddie Gallagher, He's turned

157
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: on them. He's arrogant. His stock trading history is highly questionable.

158
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: When you bring it up, he threatens to sue you.

159
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: You the cease and desist. I've gotten them as well.

160
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: He was for red flag laws, which shocked people these moments.

161
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: He screamed at a little girl at a town hall

162
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: meeting ten years old in his district when she asked

163
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: him about a quote he gave about Jesus Christ being

164
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: an archetype like Superman, and just time after time. I

165
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: think he's got anger management issues. I think he's got

166
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: some personal demons to be honest, and I think he

167
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: got there and he bought the hype after the SNL

168
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: moment with Pete Davidson when it went to his head,

169
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: and he's just the base doesn't like him as regards Cornyn.

170
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: He's been there for twenty four years, he's been in

171
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: public life for forty one years. He's out of touch terribly.

172
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, great example, he called on Trump

173
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: to drop out of the race and not run, and

174
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: he said it was time for America to move past

175
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: Donald Trump. His moment had passed. He's got a real

176
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: high rating for voting with the Democrats and for Texas Republicans.

177
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: That's not a good thing. He seems to support Ukraine

178
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: more than he does Texas. He was against the border

179
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: wall and openly against the borderwall, much like John McCain.

180
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: Think of John McCain amongst the base, and you've got

181
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: that he's incredibly out of touch with the base on

182
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: a number of issues. The anti Trump stuff was bad.

183
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: He's a red flag guy. He's very very soft on amnesty,

184
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: and he was against the border wall. I think those

185
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: things are sort of typical of a guy that's been

186
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: up there a long time and forgot where he came from.

187
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 3: We have we should mention maybe.

188
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: One other example. He came out and said that he

189
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: was worried that if he didn't win, it was because

190
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: too many radicals voted in the Republican primary. If you

191
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: are TEA party, if you are a MAGA, if you

192
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: are American first, he considers you a radical. That tells

193
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: you he's a swamp creature.

194
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: Sorry, we're talking to Michael Berry right now. We should

195
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 3: mention we have Ken Paxton at two thirty Eastern, that

196
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: is next hour today. We have John Cornyn. We've also

197
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: reached out to Wesley Hunt, have not heard back from him.

198
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: Those are the three primary Republican challengers. We also, Michael Berry,

199
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: have reached out to Jasmine Crockett and to James Tallerco

200
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: to invite all five Senate candidates on because we are

201
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 3: fair and balanced, unlike many late night television show hosts.

202
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: So just fyi, we have invited everyone on to make

203
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 3: their case. So what do you expect? Is my analysis

204
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: of this likely to be? Let me tell you what

205
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: I think the data is lining up to show you

206
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: tell me if I'm wrong. Unless Jasmine Crockett gets a

207
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: huge turnout tomorrow, I think James tall Rico is going

208
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: to be the Democrat nominee. It appears to me that

209
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: we are going to have a runoff, most likely between

210
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: Ken Paxton and John Cornyn, which will take place in May.

211
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: Would you sign on to both of those things as

212
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: the most likely outcome? And again we encourage all of

213
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: you that have not voted in Texas to get out

214
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 3: and vote tomorrow.

215
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: I think I think Paxton leads going into a runoff,

216
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: which is ten weeks away. Hard to believe. With corn

217
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: I think that's the most likely thing to happen. Cornyan

218
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: and the DC swamp did a number on Wesley Hunt

219
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: and it's been hard for him to keep up. So

220
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: I think you've got Paxton leading corner going into a runoff.

221
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: I don't know that the tall Rico win is as

222
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: certain as the Taller Rico people tell you it is.

223
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 2: Every poll consistently had her winning, had her leading by

224
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 2: five to twelve percentage points. Those numbers are coming out

225
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 2: of Tall Rico's community, and that came after Stephen Colbert

226
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: jumped in to kind of rescue him and that whole

227
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 2: little hoax that they put together there. I think it's

228
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: still very possible that Jasmine Crockett wins. In fact, I

229
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: predict she wins because turnout level amongst the base, especially

230
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: amongst the Black Bass, it's going to be heavier than expected,

231
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: and I predict she wins.

232
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 3: Well, if the Czar saith it's such, the czar makes it.

233
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: Room for white liberals and the Democrat Party in Texas

234
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: any longer.

235
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 3: And interesting, Jasmine Crockett isn't fair to say. I said,

236
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: if she's the nominee, that there is a zero row

237
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 3: percent chance she could win in Texas. Would you go?

238
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: You know the state of Texas? Well, is zero percent

239
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: the right number? If Jasmine Crockett is the nominee.

240
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 2: Texas is the prize for Democrats. And Beto O'Rourke was

241
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: the best candidate. They had, kind of a Gavin Newsome

242
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: kind of guy that you can get the young vote,

243
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: and he's cool and he's hip and hopefully you can

244
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: mobilize blacks. Blacks don't vote for a guy like that.

245
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: And there aren't enough white liberals and moderates left, so

246
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 2: tall Rico is still from that mold. He can quote

247
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: the Bible as to why abortion is good, and that

248
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: thrills them. But I don't think you win come November,

249
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: and I think that it's still kind of a very

250
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: polarized and there is just no room left for a

251
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: white liberal and the Democrat Party. Those folks have had

252
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: to gravitate white labor, white farmers. They've all moved over

253
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 2: to the Republican Party. They've had to the party changed

254
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: too much.

255
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: Well, I'm happy to hear that Fortress, Texas is holding

256
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: strong for freedom in America. Although sounds like you're not

257
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: going to be moving to Florida anytime, souons are. That's

258
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: that's the only.

259
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: Jubas lad to come visit you on your birthday.

260
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: There we go, my friend. Thank you, great to see

Speaker 1: vote Texans. We've got a lot of Texans listening.

265
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: No doubt. And it's crazy, I know for many of

266
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: you to realize this as it was for me. We're

267
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: coming up on the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven,

268
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: twenty five years a quarter century since nine to eleven,

269
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 3: and Tunnel to the Towers is planning the most comprehensive

270

293
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: Welcome back again, play Travis buck Sexton Show. We are

294
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: breaking down everything having to do with Iran. And also

295
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: we thought that the primary which is taking place in Texas,

296
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 3: also North Carolina and I believe Arkansas, this is the

297
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: first actual voting taking place for the twenty twenty six

298
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: midterm cycle that is going on tomorrow, and so we

299
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: want to make sure that we are updating you on that,

300
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: and Texas of those states is going to be the

301
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: first significant opportunity for people to weigh in. But obviously

302
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: we are covering the situation in Iran aggressively. A couple

303
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 3: of things Buck that I do think are significant oil prices,

304
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 3: a lot of oil and gas concerns about obviously Middle

305
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: Eastern uncertainty. So far, the oil prices have not moved

306
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: a ton, They're up about five percent. That is relatively

307
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: benign in terms of its overall impact, and so we

308
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: hope that that will stay the case. But I do

309
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: think that's significant because a lot of people are gonna say, Okay,

310
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: what is that going to do to the price that

311
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: I'm paying for oil and gas? Now, Remember in the summer,

312
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: oil and gas prices tend to go up. They tend

313
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 3: to come down around the end of the year. Just FYI.

314
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: The driving season when everybody gets on the road usually

315
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: May June July, those prices go up a bit. Just

316
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: keep that in mind. But prices are not adjusting substantially

317
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 3: right now. Also, as I am speaking to all of you,

318
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: stock market basically unmoved. So despite the fact that we

319
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 3: have begun a war with Iran, there is virtually no

320
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: movement in the equity market place at all. S and

321
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 3: P five hundred up. Literally, let me look at this

322
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: because it's so tiny. One point. The Dow basically unmoved

323
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 3: as well, NASDAK up. Actually, so again, there is no

324
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: major economic swing that has occurred as a result of this.

325
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: I think it's significant to keep that in mind. We

326
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: come back Buck. I think this is an interesting question.

327
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 3: What is the Democrat argument, because if you unpack it

328
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: a little bit, it seems to be Yes, the Ayatola

329
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 3: comedie was an awful guy, and we agree that Iran

330
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 3: cannot have nuclear weapons, but this was not the way

331
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 3: to stop that from happening, which seems to me to

332
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: be an actually difficult argument to make.

333
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, the argument is they hate Trump and anything he

334
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: does they're going to oppose, even if it is something

335
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: that is a huge win for America and for the

336
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: whole world, because their hatred of Trump is more important

337
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: to their sense of self. But we should unpack that

338
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: a bit because that seems crazy, doesn't it. Cyber thieves

339
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: capitalize on massive data breaches. Email records contain all kinds

340
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: of data of cyber hackers the means to steal your

341
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: online identity and make a fast buck. Researchers looking out

342
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: for your online identity recently learned about three billion emails

343
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: or being treded on the dark web. Look, it's so

344
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: important to see how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting

345
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: our lives, just as it's important to know that you

Speaker 5: and i Ron dancing on the streets and excitement?

362
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 3: And when is the last time you.

363
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 6: Ever heard of a country coming out and dancing because

364
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 6: they're excited that porn?

365
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: How's you're attacking them.

366
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 7: It's a great day for Iran and Iranians everywhere. It's

367
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 7: a great day for freedom. And it's a very emotional night.

368
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: I love you Trump. I love you Trump. He did

369
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: totally envy.

370
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 8: Now have the free Iran.

371
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 5: For years they told us that it is impossible that

372
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 5: you need to do reform. We say no, this is

373
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 5: not a reform movement. This is not a movement. This

374
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 5: is not a protest Islamic republic. Listen very carefully. Your

375
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 5: dictator is dead. This is a revolution.

376
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: So there you had a collection of voices Iranian Americans

377
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: speaking to CNN, some Iranians outside there the Iranian embassy

378
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: in London, and there was a lot of jubilation. As

379
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: I said, here in Miami Beach, there fireworks, there are

380
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: people high fiving and smiling, and you had a combination

381
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: of people who are Iranian, you know, Iranian by ethnicity

382
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: and by nationality, but who live in the West now

383
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: very happy about this, a lot of Jewish Americans, a

384
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: lot of Americans with deep ties to Israel very happy

385
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: about this, and just some Americans who think that Iran

386
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: getting hit this way after all this time makes a

387
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: whole lot of sense and is a smart thing for us.

388
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: I understand there's a lot of debate about this still,

389
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: and I understand that it is absolutely one of these

390
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: moments where people of the best faith, not just people

391
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: in good faith, but people of the best faith will

392
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: look at this and say, I have concerns, where is

393
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: this going and how is this going to continue on?

394
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: Completely valid, and we don't really know yet. I will

395
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: also point out Clay, on the one hand, there's all

396
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: the jubilation and all this, there are still the echoes

397
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: of painful lessons learned from the region in fact, in

398
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: this case a neighboring country. Many people forget Afghanistan is

399
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: right next door to Iran. This was from CNN. Clay,

400
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: Taliban authorities in Afghanistan have issued a decree that makes

401
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: sodomy punishable by death and lets men beat their wives

402
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: so long as they don't break bones. That is the

403
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: government in charge of Afghanistan after we were there for

404
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: twenty years, and try to rebuild that country, and that's

405
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: not changing anytime soon. That is the government for the

406
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: foreseeable Clay.

407
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: No nation buildings are very well spent. I think it's

408
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: fair to say, yeah.

409
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: But the no nation building people, you got a point.

410
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: You know, you have a lot of allies on the

411
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: right in the We can do some stuff without doing

412
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: all this stuff, And we don't want to try to

413
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: do all this stuff because we've seen, right, the lesson

414
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: I think has been learned, or should have been learned.

415
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: I think Trump certainly has learned that lesson as well.

416
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 3: I think also Iran is not like Afghanistan or Iraq

417
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 3: necessarily in that the Persian element of its culture and

418
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 3: history is more prevalent often than the Arab element of

419
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: its history. And this is a comparatively very well educated

420
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 3: Middle Eastern society. And the reason I bring it up

421
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 3: is if you look historically at the Persian people, they

422
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: have been committed to education on a level that is

423
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: pretty extraordinary. And so it's the descent. I mean, did

424
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 3: you see some of these videos I shared one of

425
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: them of what Iran was like in the nineteen seventies

426
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: before the revolution, the Islamic Revolution took over. I mean,

427
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 3: it was a very westernized country and that women walked

428
00:22:54,480 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 3: around in skirts and high heels. They lived a very

429
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 3: westernized existence. And again, the reason why I've opened up

430
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 3: phone lines. We got some callers here I want to

431
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 3: hear from is it seems like the general xpact community

432
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 3: of Iranians in the United States is very much in

433
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: favor of some form or fashion of the royal family

434
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: being used as a bridge towards a new leadership. In

435
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 3: other words, if you gave them a magic wand and

436
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 3: they could go back in time, it would I think

437
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: be royal family driven and in some way a nostalgic,

438
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 3: you know, bringing back of the nineteen seventies era before

439
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 3: frankly what fifty years basically of awfulness descended on the country.

440
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 3: But let's hear from some of these some of these

441
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: callers here, Nami in Boweing Green, Kentucky. What is your

442
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 3: friend and family discussion, like, what is the reaction to

443
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 3: Trump's actions and what do you think should happen going forward?

444
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 8: Clay Buck, thank you so much for having me. I

445
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 8: am so grateful. I want to say that I was

446
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 8: basically in cry all Saturday just being so grateful to

447
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 8: Trump and so grateful to our country here. I've been

448
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 8: here for forty years now. Came after the revolution in

449
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 8: nineteen eighty four, and I saw all the destruction that

450
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 8: happened in Iran my heart and I became a believer

451
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 8: in Jesus Christ. And I've been back now about seven

452
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 8: eight times. But last time I was in Iran it

453
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 8: was back in two thy fourteen. They actually held me there.

454
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 8: They wanted to know what I'm doing there, and they

455
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 8: wanted to root all the Christians going there. But that

456
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 8: country has exploded in faith and so many of Irani

457
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 8: and people are accepting Jesus Christ as their lord. And said,

458
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 8: I am so grateful because I'm looking I want to

459
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 8: go back tell the people of Iran how much they

460
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 8: are loved and how much United States has cherished, and

461
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 8: just the fact that that we are we have gone

462
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 8: in and wanting to elevate this country and get this

463
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 8: cancer out of that country. And I can tell you

464
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 8: all the leaderships in Iran they are evil, they are

465
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 8: and they are going to They're going to give everything

466
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 8: they have to come against against the world. And because

467
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 8: they have been botched with this lie that if they

468
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 8: create chaos in the world, they will they will usher

469
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 8: the bringing of their AmAm, which is Ammam Mehdi, which.

470
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 9: Is all it's all lies that have been They have

471
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 9: been sorry to cut you off, but in general, do

472
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 9: you think their support for the reinstallation of the royal

473
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 9: family when you talk to your friends and family.

474
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, we are all for it. I think Resol Pahlevi,

475
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 8: the son of the previous shaw, I think he is

476
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 8: the most qualified to come in and actually resurrect Iran.

477
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 3: Thank you for the call. Ali in Sacramento says he's

478
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: been here since nineteen ninety seven but still has a

479
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: lot of family in Iran. What is the reaction from

480
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: your friends and family. Have you been able to get

481
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: in touch with your friends and family back in Iran

482
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: since the attacks started.

483
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me.

484
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 8: Yeah.

485
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 6: I talked to my mom about two days ago before

486
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 6: the internet a phone get shut off and there they

487
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 6: were actually excited, to be honest with which is kind

488
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 6: of weird with any war. But I told him, don't

489
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 6: go out, you know, just stay safe, you know, have

490
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 6: some food whatever, you know, stored in at home. And yeah,

491
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 6: I mean everybody's happy, man. I mean ninety percent of

492
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 6: my family live there, and I lived there till I

493
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 6: was eighteen, and I've been through this since we were kids.

494
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 6: There were brainwashing kids, Oh say death to Israel. Israel's

495
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 6: are enemy, and you grow up with that mentality. And

496
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 6: then when you come here with the thanks to internet,

497
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,199
Speaker 6: you know, a generation and everybody's waking up and they

498
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 6: understand there was a whole bunch of like, you know,

499
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 6: nonsense they feed us, you know, since they're kid. And

500
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 6: now people are changing. I never seen Iranian community so united,

501
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 6: and they're all for one goal, just to free Iran.

502
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 6: They can go back and and people are sad right

503
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 6: now in Iran are the ones that connected to the

504
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 6: government and they're getting free oil money basically, and that's

505
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 6: what it is. And I hope people understand this is

506
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 6: a this is a.

507
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 7: War against the terrorists. Regime that's supporting terror everybody knows that,

508
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 7: but some people still don't understand why it just attacks happened.

509
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 7: So when we get rid of this Islamic regime, the

510
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 7: war's going to be better placed one hundred percent because

511
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 7: at taxpayer is going to save a lot of money.

512
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 6: So there's not many wars going to happen after this.

513
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 6: I must be gone, you know, as well as going

514
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 6: to be gone all those you know, people that are

515
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 6: wishing death for other countries, they are going to be eliminated.

516
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 6: Nobody's going to support him anymore, so they're going.

517
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 7: To be slowly going to go late.

518
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 6: So yeah, we're celebrating yesterday on the street in Roseville

519
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 6: and everybody's excited. Man, I know, we lost a lot.

520
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 8: Of young kids.

521
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 6: Fifty thousand people more has been killed by this regime,

522
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 6: and we're still sad about that. But I said again,

523
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 6: it's a necessary evil in my opinion.

524
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: Thank you for the call very much, Buck, It's worth mentioning.

525
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 3: You studied this a lot. That Iran is basically the

526
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 3: money behind and funding almost all terror attacks in the

527
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: Middle East. When you really dive into it, Yes, Iran

528
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: was even willing to work with Sunni Muslim terrorist groups

529
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 3: and give supporter groups like Humas. For example, Iran was

530
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: the single greatest state sponsor of terror.

531
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: In the world. There was no question about that. Iran

532
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: was harboring members of Al Qaida for a long time.

533
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: Iran was doing everything that it could to make the

534
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: world a more dangerous and unstable and honestly just frightening

535
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: place for everybody who in every country that wants to

536
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: live in freedom and doesn't want the nonsense of the

537
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Islamic Revolution shoved down their throats all the time.

538
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 3: So and they obviously.

539
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: Worked very closely with Russia and with China and with Career.

540
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: By the way, a lot of the Iranian oil was

541
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: being sold to China. Guess what things are changing now.

542
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: It would actually be quite helpful, I think to remove

543
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: some of China. There's a lot of geostrategic implications of

544
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: this stuff, but to remove the heavily subsidized oil from

545
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: the market that China can get access to. You know,

546
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: China has been buying Russian oil, but buying Iranian oil

547
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: and at a cut rate price. So that's I think

548
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: also a win in this whole process. And I think

549
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: that there's the possibility here of a transformational moment for

550
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: certainly the country of Iran, and the ramifications for the

551
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: whole region would be would be amazing. I mean, the

552
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: ramifications for Lebanon, the ramifications for Syria, the ramifications for Yemen.

553
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you go down this list. Iran's tentacles have

554
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: stretched into all these places, and all they do is

555
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: just bring radicalism, death and despair everywhere, of course against

556
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: Israel constantly, Oh, we have to kill everybody in Israel,

557
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: kick them into the sea, the whole You know this

558
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: this can stop.

559
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it will. I'm not saying it's gonna

560
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 3: work out great.

561
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 1: I don't pretend to be able to tell the future,

562
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: but I do know that Trump is on a wind

563
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: streak right now. I mean Trump is at a point

564
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: Clay where he's just going on first down for forty

565
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: yards into double coverage because he's hit it the last

566
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: five times. He just can't be stopped right now. It's

567
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: incredible to watch. Let's be honest, who else would do

568
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: something like this?

569
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 3: Who else has been willing to do a third.

570
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: Of what Trump is done on the world stage in

571
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: one year? All of that is true.

572
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: I also think maybe we'll talk about this a little

573
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: bit at the top of the third hour. The Democrat

574
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: response has been nonsensical, But remember all of this is

575
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: a direct result of October seventh, twenty twenty three. And

576
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 3: I think what you are seeing is the expectation of

577
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 3: what that attack would do and the reality of what

578
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 3: it's done is pretty seismic. And I think again it

579
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 3: is one of the greatest strategic miscalculations that we have

580
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 3: ever seen, at least so far. Look, I want to

581
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,560

00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: get to a couple more of your calls. We'll dive

624
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 3: into some of the big discussions surrounding Iran. Let me

625
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 3: hit you with a small one, Buck. There is talk

626
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 3: right now that Iran, which qualified for the World Cup,

627
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 3: may not be able to compete in the United States

628
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 3: over what's going on again. This is a small thing,

629
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 3: but I think it would be very smart of President

630
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: Trump and his team. Remember President Trump's been very involved

631
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,479
Speaker 3: with the World Cup, which is gonna be taking place

632
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 3: in the United States. I think would be super smart

633
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: of his team to say we want Iran to compete.

634
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 3: The people of Iran are not our adversaries. Soccer is

635
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 3: hugely important in that country. The team making it, As

636
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 3: you know, making the World Cup is a huge deal

637
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 3: for these countries. It's also little bit funny. I don't

638
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 3: we haven't even talked about this on the program. Do

639
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 3: you know Seattle is having a gay rights soccer match?

640
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: Have you heard about this? This is one hundred millisent true.

641
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 3: They are having a pro gay rights World Cup soccer

642
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 3: match that they have scheduled. Do you know who is

643
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 3: playing in the pro gay rights soccer game in Seattle?

644
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 3: Egypt and Iran. You want to talk about one of

645
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 3: the funniest possible draws that the left wingers in Seattle

646
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 3: could have ever gotten for their super gay soccer game.

647
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 3: They got Egypt and Iran to play in the gay

648
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 3: rights World Cup game. I want this match to happen

649
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: just because I think it will be one of the

650
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 3: funniest of all consequences. But in all seriousness, I think

651
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 3: it would be smart of President Trump to say, hey,

652
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 3: we want Iran to play. Our feud is not with

653
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: the Iranian people. This team qualified, and I think it

654
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 3: would be a smart mood. We'll take some of your calls.

655
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 3: We've got several Iranians who want to weigh in on

656
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 3: what they are hearing. We appreciate them listening and calling

657
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 3: and Buck, we're going to dive into this question. Democrats

658
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 3: immediately made this political, but what is their actual argument.

659
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 3: They're in a tough spot here when it comes to

660
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 3: trying to make their case.

661
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: They would be in better shape if they went and

662
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: drank some Crockett coffee, at least them they would. Then

663
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: they would be, you know, energized and ready to go.

664
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 1: That's right, Gotcockat coffee right there. Crocketcoffee dot Com, my friends,
