1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: Welcome in Friday edition Clay Travis Buck Sexton show Buck.

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: We'll be back on Monday, as he is traveling with

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: his family. Should be fun to be back together on Monday.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: As I mentioned yesterday, I was expecting to be getting

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: ready to be in the air to Israel, but our

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: flights were canceled to Israel, so we are going to

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: reschedule that trip. And we promised that we will bring

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: you a on the ground report from Israel at some

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: point in the months ahead. Well, we got a lot

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: to talk with you here on this Friday. Four point

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: three percent unemployment number that came out this morning. That's

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: the highest since October of twenty twenty one, three years

13
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: and change into the Biden administration. Other than the sugar

14
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: high of Blue States ending their restrictions over COVID, basically

15
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: everything that Biden administration has touched has turned to garbage.

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: We will discuss. There's another boxer out there this morning

17
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: with X Y chromosomes. That is how we define men

18
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: beating the crap out of a woman at the Olympics.

19
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: I can't believe this is real life, but you heard

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: Donald Trump on with us yesterday condemning that fact. Kamala Harris,

21
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, every Democrat out there continues to remain silent

22
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: on this issue, and everyone out there that is trying

23
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: to defend it is effectively saying, hey, well it's actually

24
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: a woman. Yeah, good luck with that. We'll discuss more

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: about what is actually weird, and that is many left

26
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: wing policies right now, but I want to start with

27
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: what is becoming quite clear. Kamala Harris's strategy is a

28
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: replication of the twenty twenty Joe Biden's strategy, which is

29
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna hide her. We're not going to allow her

30
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: to talk to anyone, We're gonna put her on a teleprompter,

31
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: We're only going to allow her to interact with friendly individuals.

32
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: This is becoming now a scandal as we come up

33
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: on two weeks since she has become the Democrat nominee.

34
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: Remember she never ever has received a single vote for president.

35
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: With her being on the ballot for president and still

36
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: being in the race, I think like one hundred of

37
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: you might have voted for her in Iowa in twenty

38
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: twenty because her name was still on the ballot, because

39
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: she didn't withdraw in time for her name to be

40
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: off the ballot, but none of you have ever in

41
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: your lives been able to vote for Kamala Harris to

42
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: be president of the United States. The entire purpose of

43
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: the primary season is to test our candidates, allow them

44
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: to interact with voters in Iowa, in New Hampshire, in

45
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: South Carolina, in many other early primary states, and allow

46
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: them to demonstrate to all of us why they are

47
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: the best potential representative, whether you love or hate Donald Trump.

48
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: He had very serious challengers, Ron DeSantis, Nicki Haley, among others.

49
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: He beat them all. He went out on the road

50
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: to Iowa, he went out on the road to New Hampshire.

51
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: He won every primary, I think except for Vermont, where

52
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of Democrats decided to flip over, in maybe DC,

53
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: where a bunch of Democrats decided to flip over because

54
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: they hate Trump so much. Trump is tested. Trump is

55
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: on the road all the time doing interviews, as we saw,

56
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: sometimes to his detriment. I would argue with the Nash

57
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: Association of Black Journalists. He came on yesterday on this

58
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: program unscheduled interview because he wanted to react to men

59
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: beating up women in the Olympics and the fact that

60
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: that is now Democrat Party orthodoxy. If you missed it,

61
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: you can go listen to Donald Trump on this program

62
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: in the third hour. Media all over the country picked

63
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: up that interview. I'll run through some of that with

64
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: you later in the program, demonstrating how many people out

65
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: there paying attention to what we say on a day

66
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: to day basis on this program. But the problem with

67
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: Kamala is she's got so many weaknesses. The Democrats are

68
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: aware of that, and those weaknesses get illuminated every time

69
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: she actually talks to anyone saying anything other than what's

70
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: on the teleprompter. And this is what happened last night

71
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: when she decided to step off the teleprompter and not

72
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: read a statement for the first time in twelve days.

73
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: This was the word salad that she delivered. She is

74
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: right now the Democrat nominee. Nobody's asking her questions. She's

75
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: not interacting with any voters. She's never received a single vote,

76
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: and this is why they are trying to hide her

77
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: like they hid Biden in twenty twenty.

78
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: Listen, this is just an extraordinary testament to the importance

79
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: of having the president who understands the power of diplomacy

80
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance

81
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: of diplomacy and strengthening alliances.

82
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: This is an incredible day, Okay. I'm glad that the

83
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: prisoners are back, although I think, as Trump talked about

84
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: with us yesterday, we have consistently given up way more

85
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: than we've gotten back. And if you go back to

86
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: Brittany Griner being traded for the Merchant of Death that

87
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: gave I think re for Vladimir Putin to take Evan

88
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Gersovich and others prisoner because he knows that he's going

89
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: to get back better. We gave a trained assassin to

90
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: Russia and we got back a Wall Street Journal reporter

91
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: just being fair, do you think that trained assassin may

92
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: go kill somebody else? I think that's probably a pretty

93
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: good chance. Do you think the guy who's the Merchant

94
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: of Death, one of the greatest arms dealers ever, might

95
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: have an impact? Given that Russia's actually at war with Ukraine.

96
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: We're incentivizing, and I'll talk about this later, more of

97
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: our citizens to be taken hostage. By giving such generous

98
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: transfers of prisoners with the Russians and other foreign adversaries.

99
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: There will be soon I would predict to all of

100
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: you more innocent Americans taken hostage because Vladimir Putin has

101
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: recognized that he can play Joe Biden like a fiddle,

102
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: and I think he probably is also a little bit

103
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: afraid of what will happen if Trump were to win

104
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: this election, because despite all the Russia Russia collusion arguments,

105
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: Trump has actually been way harder on Putin than Joe

106
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Biden has. In fact, I was talking with a friend

107
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: who is married to a Russian woman. We were out

108
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: to dinner recently, and she was saying she just got

109
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: back from Russia. She was saying that everyone she talked

110
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: to in Russia. This was before Biden dropped out, we're

111
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: all hoping that Biden would win because all of the

112
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: Russians see him as much weaker than Trump. And that

113
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: makes logical sense, right. The Russians aren't stupid. Vladimir Putin

114
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: isn't an imbecile. He recognized that Biden is weak. They

115
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: wanted Biden to win again because they thought that would

116
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: further in Bolden Russia. Kamala Harris is similarly weak. But

117
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: what they are doing is they are going to try

118
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: to hide her. They did it with Joe Biden, and

119
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: they were able to use COVID as the excuse. Right now,

120
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: think about this. You heard the media get off their

121
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: butts after June twenty seventh, the debate where Donald Trump

122
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: knocked out Joe Biden, and you heard all of the

123
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: media saying, Oh, we need to hear a press conference. Oh,

124
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: it's supremely important right now that we get interviews with

125
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. That was because they were recognizing that Trump

126
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: was going to beat Biden and they knew they needed

127
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: to force him out of the race. That's why the

128
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: media got so active. But think about this for a moment.

129
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: Have you heard any of those same demands about Kamala Harris.

130
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris hasn't done anything and her odds, frankly, I'm

131
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: looking at him right now of winning the presidency have

132
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: moved close to fifty to fifty. Trump is now a

133
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: small favorite to be elected president. In twenty twenty four,

134
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: he was a big favorite over Joe Biden. Trump hasn't

135
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: changed anything really. In fact, if you want to criticize

136
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign, it's that it's been caught flat footed

137
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: in responding with Kamala over the last twelve days, or

138
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: so and allowed her to a large extent escape scrutiny

139
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: and not even have to deal with the fact that

140
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: while they're doing interviews all over the country with both

141
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: friendly and supremely antagonistic media, Kamala is not doing anything.

142
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: She's in the process of picking her vice president. We're

143
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: now about ninety days away from the election, and think

144
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: about how crazy this is. We're about thirty days away

145
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: from when some of you are going to be able

146
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: to return your ballots. And I'm gonna be honest with

147
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: a lot of you. You know that I have been

148
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: super optimistic about Donald Trump winning in twenty twenty four.

149
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: These are challenging times. All of a sudden. This is

150
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: why I believed they would switch from Biden. They knew

151
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: Biden couldn't win. The overarching story you see him wandering

152
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: around aimlessly last night at the airport. The overarching story

153
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four campaign when it was Biden

154
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: versus Trump, was that Biden didn't have the mental or

155
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: physical faculties to be president. Now, what they're trying to

156
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: do with Kamala is rerun the twenty twenty campaign by

157
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: making Trump the story, even though it's the Biden Harris administration,

158
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: even though Kamala has been in power for four years.

159
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: Make it a referendum on Trump and just try to

160
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: stay out of the way. That's what Biden did, and

161
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: it was enough to barely get him across the finish

162
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: line because he was assisted by COVID. Is Kamala going

163
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: to be allowed to hide like Biden was in twenty

164
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty and is that going to be enough to get

165
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: her dragged across the finish line. I'm starting to think

166
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: it might be. Be honest with y'all, look at what

167
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: happened with John Fetterman. He couldn't speak and he got

168
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: elected by five points in Pennsylvania. They have right now

169
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: a better get out the vote system in Wisconsin, Michigan,

170
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: and Pennsylvania. If Kamala Harris wins all three of those states,

171
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: she will be the president of the United States. It's

172
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: time to get serious. It's time to buckle down. There's

173
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: been a lot of flailing. There hasn't been very many

174
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: direct attacks that have landed significantly on Kamala Again. I

175
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: think a big reason why that is is because she

176
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: has so much incredible vulnerabilities that it's hard to decide

177
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: which issue to hit her on. I would submit that ultimately,

178
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: the story of the election has not changed. This is

179
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: about the border, this is about the failure of the economy.

180
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: Trump should almost exclusively be talking about both of those issues.

181
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: It's the border stupid, it's the economy stupid. Hit them

182
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: almost exclusively. You can also go with the defund the police,

183
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: the crime. You need to settle on about three issues

184
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 1: and only talk about those three issues. You've got to

185
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: be disciplined. The Trump campaign so far had been very disciplined.

186
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: I think it's come off a bit of the rails

187
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: of late Kamala is a very very bad candidate, but

188
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: so was John Fetterman. They are going to hideer. They're

189
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: running a replay of twenty twenty. They hand selected Joe Biden,

190
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: now they've hand selected Kamala. We know what their strategy is.

191
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: The last two weeks, it's been working. Is there a

192
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: CounterPunch coming, Let's talk about that and what it should

193
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: look like. In the meantime, the world can be an

194
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: uncertain place at times. There are things you can and

195
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: cannot control. At home, though you can build peace of

196
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: mind by building financial security for your family. It's harder

197
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: than ever to do that with the rising costs of

198
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: so many households. But every little bit of progress you

199
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: can make in this regard goes a long way. Start

200
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: by learning more about gold and silver, which is one

201
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: solid way to protect the value of the dollars you're

202
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: able to save. Gold and silver are an excellent way

203
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: to diversify your savings. They're a hedge against inflation. They're

204
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: a physical asset and high demand globally from central banks

Speaker 1: to distill complex sort stories down to easily digestible components.

221
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: Here is how Kamala Harris is beaten. Three words. It's

222
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: very simple. I'm gonna give you an acronym economy, border crime, EBC.

223
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: That's all you have to do. Economy, border crime. If

224
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: Trump just focuses on those three issues, leaves everything else

225
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: to the side, he will win the twenty twenty four

226
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: election because these are the three things that voters care

227
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: about the most, and if you look at these on

228
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: a factual basis, they are the three areas that the

229
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: Biden Kamala administration has failed on most consistently. On the economy,

230
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: I just mentioned, we hit four point three percent unemployment,

231
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: highest since October of twenty twenty one. The stock market

232
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: today is down nearly one thousand points earlier. I think

233
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: it's down around seven hundred now. There is and are

234
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: major warning lights flashing that we are going to hit

235
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: a recession. When you hit a recession in the fourth

236
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: year of an administration, it's a sign that things have

237
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: gone horribly wrong. Inflation soared all the way to nine percent.

238
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't have to tell you all of that. You

239
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: felt it. The cost of your goods, that is, what

240
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: you purchase, has gone up more than the average person's

241
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: wages have. The economy is a colossal failure, to say

242
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: nothing of the thirty five trillion dollars in debt. Joe

243
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala Harris failed on the economy. That is

244
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: point one. That is the e in EBC. Border is

245
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: the second one. Kamala Harris, why did they decide that

246
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: she wasn't? The borders are because they are terrified of

247
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: her being tied directly to the ten million plus illegals

248
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: that have poured into this country and have made even

249
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: blue cities look around and say, what in the world

250
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: is going on here? New York City, Chicago, La, Atlanta, Washington,

251
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: d C, Denver, Places that don't have really a Republican

252
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: Party that is functional in them at all, sanctuary cities.

253
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: They've been overloaded the border. Kamala Harris directly responsible and

254
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: attached to the failures there. The border is the second

255
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: focal point that will lead to a Donald Trump victory.

256
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: The third is crime. You have to be very smart

257
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: in how you attack Kamala Harris on crime. You have

258
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: to go after her for supporting defund the police and

259
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: raising money to bail out rioters and allowing crime to

260
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: skyrocket across the country. Quality of life issues, shoplifting, that's

261
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: on the border. Sorry, that's on the ballot in California,

262
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: trying to repeal I think it's Proposition forty seven, so

263
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: that people can actually be arrested for stealing things. Now,

264
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: that's it. That's all you need to focus on. Every

265
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: question you get, return it to EBC. Every opportunity you

266
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: have to talk about an issue, return it to EBC. Economy,

267
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: border crime, now if you want to. You occasionally add

268
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: in things that are pertinent of the moment, like Donald

269
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: Trump did yesterday when he said, hey, we shouldn't have

270
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: people with x Y chromosomes beating up women in the Olympics.

271
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: I think that's fine. Touches on a story of the

272
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: day that is trending, that is massively important, but then

273
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: immediately circle back to EBC. I don't think it's a

274
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: win to fight battles over identity politics. Is Kamala Harris Indian?

275
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: Is she black? People are going to make their own

276
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: decisions about what her background is, and people like me

277
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: could come on here and point out that Kamala Harris

278
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: was the mistress of a married man, and that she

279
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: got paid four hundred thousand dollars while sleeping with that

280
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: married man, and that she doesn't have kids of her own,

281
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: and that she didn't get married till she was fifty,

282
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: and that her family is actually Jamaican, she spent time

283
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: in Canada, and her mom's family as Indian, and she

284
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: hasn't had the traditional black experience in America, So trying

285
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: to make her appear to be a paragon of blackness

286
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: is actually not in any way authentic. All of those

287
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: things we can talk about here and you guys all

288
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: know them. But for Trump himself and for jd. Vance,

289
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: this is a three letter election. EBC, economy, border crime.

290
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna hear me for the next ninety days reference

291
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: EBC A lot. This is an economy, this is a border,

292
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: this is a crime election. The Biden Harris campaign cannot

293
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: defend itself on those three issues. They failed. They want

294
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: to fight a battle on Iskamala black. They want to

295
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: fight a battle on hey, what do we think about

296
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: women having children? They want to fight a battle on abortion.

297
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: Don't allow them to pick the battleground. You have to

298
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: be disciplined, and you have to return to the issues

299
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: that you you're right on and that you're one hundred

300
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: percent going to win. Now, that doesn't mean when we're

301
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: eventually going to have the debate. And Kamala Harris tries

302
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: to go after Donald Trump on abortion, which she will,

303
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't punch back and point out that his

304
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: position is quite clear. Every state should be able to

305
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: make its own decision as it pertains to their choices

306
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: on abortion. Counter punching is fine, but you want to

307
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: be fighting this election on the terrain of economy, border

308
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: and crime. Who's going to be better on those issues?

309
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: The bonus is it connects with men, black, White, Asian,

310
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: and Hispanic. It connects with women, black, White, Asian and Hispanic.

311
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: The economy, the border, and crime impacts everyone, and it

312
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: doesn't get bogged down in identity politics. My concern is

313
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: what Kamala Harris would love more than anything is to

314
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: sit around and debate Donald Trump on whether or not

315
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: she's black. In fact, ironically enough, I was thinking about

316
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: this last night. Effectively, what Trump is doing is the

317
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: same thing that Biden did when he said, if you

318
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: don't vote for me, you ain't black. He's basically turning

319
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: this into an identity politics election. That worked for Biden.

320
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: By the way, even though it's shameful, his argument that

321
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: if you are a certain race, you should vote for

322
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: me is the foundation of identity politics. That's why he

323
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: picked Kamala Harris. That's why he picked Katanji Brown Jackson.

324
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: Trump should be embracing the meritocracy. It's what's going to

325
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: solve the issues of the economy, border and crime EBC.

326
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: If you make this an election about EBC, you win.

327
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: And I understand trust me, because we have to come

328
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: on and every single day there's a billion issues that

329
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: are taking place, and we have to sit down buck

330
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: and eye and we have to say, okay, these are

331
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: the seven things that we need to talk about today

332
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 1: that are impacting your day to day lives. But we're

333
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: not running for president of the United States, and we're

334
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: not in a debt on sprint here ninety days away

335
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: from the election, and remember thirty days away basically from

336
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: when people start to vote. Once people start to vote,

337
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: you're chasing a smaller number of eligible voters out there.

338
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: And I want you guys to go out and vote early.

339
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: In fact, I'll talk about this a little bit later

340
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: in the program. I've made a decision in my own life.

341
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: For virtually my entire life, I have been an election

342
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: day voter. I just really like going into the polls

343
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: on election day. I don't mind standing in line, I

344
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 1: don't mind the hustle and bustle of election day voting.

345
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: I like it. I think it's a really enjoyable part

346
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: of American life to know that you are going in

347
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: and you are going to be able to have your

348
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: voice heard. And so I think all of that is

349
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: such a supremely important part of this larger discussion. Get

350
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: your vote in early so that you can focus on

351
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: getting other people out to vote, and so you don't

352
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: have to worry about what the weather's going to be

353
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: that day, or whether you're going to have a sick kid,

354
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: or whether you're going to have a grandparent that you

355
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: need to help with, or whether suddenly your kid has

356
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: a sporting event that you have to go to or

357
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: your grandkid does. There are millions of people out there

358
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: that plan on voting on election day that never go

359
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: Get your vote in early economy, border crime, EBC. It's

360
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: not complicated. All right, we come back. We'll take some

361
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: of your calls because it is Friday, and we try

362
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: to make sure that we hit as many of the

363
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: calls on Friday as we possibly can. We're going to

364
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: get a discussion by the way, at the top of

365
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: the next hour about Israel. I mentioned that we had

366
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: to cancel our trip to Israel, that we were going

367
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: to go on with the show because all the airplane

368
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: flights have been canceled in with the expectation that there

369
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: is going to be a major attack coming soon. Prayers

370
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: for everyone in Israel. After they have been taking out

371
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: some of the Tarror leaders all over the Middle East,

372
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: the expectation is there's going to be a counter strike.

373
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk with Dovid Afoon about all of that. Also,

374
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: Senator Marsha Blackburn is scheduled to join us in the

375
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: third hour of the program. Yesterday was the primary in Tennessee.

376
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: She now is the official Republican nominee. What is she

377
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: seeing as she surveys the field with the elections upcoming

378
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: In the meantime, if there was a founding Father's Hall

379
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: of Fame, guess who would be in it? Thomas Jefferson No,

380
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: doubt about that at all. Third President, primary author of

381
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence, first Secretary of State, Governor of Virginia,

382
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: and he created a relationship with France in our nation's

383
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: early days that proved incredibly important. If you love history

384
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: even half as much as I do, you'll be amazed

385
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: that all that Thomas Jefferson accomplished in his lifetime. Our

386
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: friends at Hillsdale College have created a really cool Thomas

387
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: Jefferson's story that focuses on his thoughts on the meaning

388
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: of the Declaration of Independence video based on an impactful

389
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: letter he wrote late in his life. We'd like for

390
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: you to watch a short video explaining it at Clayanbuck

391
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: for Hillsdale dot com. I set with the crew at

392
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: Hillsdale down in South Florida this week. Love all of

393
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: the work that they're doing. I mentioned that I spoke

394
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: out in Seattle in April. They were established with a

395
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: charter to defend and protect our freedoms. This video creation,

396
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: small as it might be, is a perfect example of

397
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: their mission. Check it out today at Clayanbuck for Hillsdale

Speaker 3: Cheap up with Clay and Bucks campaign coverage with twenty

00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,199

401
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,000

402
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 3: We were supposed to be several of us from the

403
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 3: iHeart crew in the air shortly headed to Israel. All

404
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: of the flights, however, have been canceled for today that

405
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: are headed into Israel, even on l Al airline, which

406
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: we were told almost never cancels, because there is an

407
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: expectation that Iran Lebanon that they're going to respond to

408
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 3: the attacks that Israel has undertaken in an effort to

409
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 3: respond to the twelve innocent people who were killed in

410
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 3: northern Israel with a Hesbola rocket that hit near a

411
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: soccer field and injured many young kids. So that has

412
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: raised the level of danger in that area to such

413
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: extent that they are limiting all travel from the United

414
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 3: States to Israel right now. What is the latest on

415
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 3: the ground there, What should we expect. David Affoon is

416
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: in our New York City studio right now. He's an

417
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: expert on what's going on in Israel, and I know

418
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 3: that it's kind of a complicated situation for many people

419
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 3: out there right now, So, Dovid, what can you tell

420
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: us about the absolute latest?

421
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: What should we expect. Is this a situation where Iran,

422
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: Lebanon and their terror ally strike you think in the

423
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: next few days. Is it something that stretches weeks? What

424
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: happens now?

425
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 4: Well, good to be with you, Clay. What we're seeing now,

426
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 4: in response to a series of really heenous attacks over

427
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 4: the last number of months on innocent Israeli's by Iran

428
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: and it's terra proxies is probably what you could best

429
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 4: describe as a helstorm of Israeli come up and that

430
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 4: Iran and its terra proxy's are facing. You've seen the

431
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 4: deputy head of Hisbollah in Beirut assassinated, the head of

432
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 4: the politiborough of Hamas Ismailhania assassinated in Tehran, and also

433
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 4: confirmation that muhammadf the terror master mind, was indeed assassinated

434
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 4: in the Gaza strip. You know, the Israelis sometimes lose focus,

435
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 4: and perhaps that was what happened in the years and

436
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 4: months that led up to the attacks on October seventh.

437
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 4: But when they are focused at eradicating their enemies, my god, they're.

438
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: Good, no doubt. And when you look at this situation.

439
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we're ten months basically since everything took place

440
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: in the October seventh attack. This feels quite clearly from

441
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: a US perspective that this is going to extend into

442
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: our election cycle. What do you think, and again you're

443
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: the publisher of the New York Sun, by the way,

444
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: for people who don't know, what do you think Israelis

445
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: think of our upcoming election and the potential outcome? Now,

446
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: if Kamala Harris is the nominee versus if Donald Trump

447
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: is the nominee, how much of an impact if net

448
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: and Yahoo were being honest with us, does he think

449
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: the selection of our next president will have when it

450
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: comes to Israel's ability to defend itself in the Middle East?

451
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 4: I mean, it has a very significant impact, and more

452
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 4: than anything, it has a significant impact on the strength

453
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: of US Israel relations. I mean, the truth is that

454
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 4: meddling in the Middle East and Israeli affairs is old

455
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: news when it comes to American administrations, by the way,

456
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 4: on both sides of the isle, both Democrats and Republicans.

457
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 4: I mean, it was President George Bush really pressured or

458
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 4: cajoled Ariel sharonta pull out of Gaza in the first

459
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 4: place in two thousand and five, and then cousin Leeza

460
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 4: Rice insisted that they allow him us to run in

461
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 4: elections in two thousand and seven. So meddling in the

462
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 4: Middle East is old news for old administrations. The truth

463
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 4: is that the administration of Donald Trump was really the

464
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: only administration in history that deferred more to the Israelis

465
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 4: and said, look, we're in la, We're here to support you.

466
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 4: Let us know what's helpful and how we can be helpful.

467
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 4: Of course, they weighed in and they had that perspective

468
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 4: and their opinions on things, but you know, they were

469
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 4: really supportive in that way. So I think it would

470
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: make a huge difference. You know, Donald Trump administration would

471
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 4: be very supportive of Israel's efforts now to re establish

472
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 4: security on its borders, and Kamala Harris administration would would

473
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: wildly meddle, to say the least.

474
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: No doubt as you sort of contemplate that playing out there,

475
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: what's Israel's move now? This seems to have spiraled potentially

476
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: into a larger Middle Eastern upfront battle instead of just

477
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: Iran using so many of these terror groups as proxies.

478
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Do you think we're in danger of this spiraling or

479
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: do you believe the targeted tax that Israel carried out

480
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: to eliminate many of those terror assets has actually given

481
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: the potential of this getting dialed back in significance? Where

482
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: are we in terms of trying to exactly examine where

483
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: the conflagration goes from here?

484
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 4: You know, I think you hit the nail on the

485
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 4: head there. But conventional wisdom always says, and you know,

486
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 4: if you look at the history of Joe Biden's approach

487
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 4: to foreign policy, it's always de escalate, the escalate, the escalate.

488
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 4: Of course, you know, the age old lesson of Churchill

489
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: is that it doesn't always work that way and you

490
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 4: end up empowering your enemies in doing so, and particularly

491
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 4: in the Middle East. I mean, that really is how

492
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 4: it works. I mean, the only time that Iran ever

493
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 4: suspended its nuclear program was when the United States was

494
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 4: militarily active in both Afghanistan and Iraq on its borders,

495
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 4: and then it got nervous. And I think although the

496
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: conventional wisdom and what you're going to hear from all

497
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 4: the talking heads now is well, you know, Israel has

498
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 4: dramatically escalated, and the Iranians are going to be upset

499
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 4: now and they're going to bite back. Sure are, they're

500
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 4: going to make a show of it, and you're gonna

501
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 4: hear a lot of saber rattling and rhetoric. But in

502
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 4: the end of the day, there are some folks that

503
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: are really, really nervous. I mean, to have the ability

504
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: to pull off what the Israelis have. It just tells

505
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 4: every single level of leadership in Iran and in all

506
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 4: of its terror proxies that nobody is safe and that

507
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 4: the gloves are off. So I would say that the

508
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 4: chances are that you know, rhetoric aside, and they'll probably

509
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 4: be some kind of symbolic reprisal attack which won't cause

510
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: that much damage, and we'll know about it in advance.

511
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 4: Retrica side, I think it actually does a lot to

512
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 4: put these guys in their place.

513
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: A lot of the yeah, no, sorry, I was gonna

514
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: cut you off. A lot of the attention had been

515
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: on Hamas. Suddenly the attention is on Hasboa. How does

516
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: this end? I mean, I mean, we know that this

517
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: is not going to end in the context of suddenly

518
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 1: Arabs aren't going to be like, hey, you know what,

519
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: we love Jewish people. We hope they live forever and

520
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: happily and prosper in this region. But how do we

521
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: get back to some form of mutual day taught where

522
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: there isn't perpetual war going on? Are we close to that?

523
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: Is that still months away? Is it years away? Where

524
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: do we go from here?

525
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 5: Well?

526
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 4: I think one thing's for sure is that if history

527
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 4: is a guide, the Israelis aren't going to slow down here.

528
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, you often hear this bandied about

529
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: where folks say, well, you can't really get rid of Hamas.

530
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 4: Hamas is just an idea and if you if you

531
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 4: get rid of one leader, somebody else will show up.

532
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 4: Tell that to Black September. You know, I don't know

533
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 4: if your listeners.

534
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 5: No.

535
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 4: Black September was a terror group that was among Israel's

536
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 4: premier foes in the seventies and eighties. In fact, during

537
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 4: the nineteen seventy two Olympic Games, there were eleven athletes

538
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 4: that were killed and it played out on live television

539
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,479
Speaker 4: all over the world, eleven Israeli athletes. Israel and its

540
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 4: security services set the goal of completely eliminating Black September

541
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: and methodically routinely one after the other. It took them

542
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 4: ten years and Black September just doesn't exist today. And

543
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 4: you know Israeli, there's definitely a paradigm change in the

544
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 4: security apparatus in Israel. They cannot. The idea of containing

545
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 4: threats no longer exists. So you're going to see a relentless,

546
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 4: methodical campaign to eliminate the threats, and the leadership it's

547
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 4: not going to slow down from here. You're just going

548
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 4: to see more and more and more of this. And

549
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 4: I think at some point the leadership will be so

550
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 4: debilitated that they will have to slow down. And that's

551
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 4: when you're going to see things start to settle.

552
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: And if things start to settle down, what if that

553
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: look like from an American perspective? That means that what

554
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: should happen in terms of America being an ally of Israel?

555
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 4: From your perspective, well, I think you know what Israel

556
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 4: wants from an ally, and I think what all allies

557
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 4: would want from each other is really support, you know,

558
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 4: to listen and to hear you know, the concerns, what

559
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 4: they're going through and where they can be helpful. I mean,

560
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 4: one thing that is quite unique about the Israel US

561
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 4: Alliance is that Israel and Premison now who specifically underlined

562
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 4: this in his beach to Congress recently. You know, we

563
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 4: don't want American troops or you know, this is what

564
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 4: Israelis will say, we don't want American troops. We don't

565
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 4: want I mean, there's a lot of business that's done. Obviously,

566
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 4: there's there's military aid, which most of it is spent

567
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 4: in the United States, and that helps support the US

568
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 4: military industry. But really it's it's you know, we want

569
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 4: the Israeli as saying we want to get the job done,

570
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 4: we want to do it ourselves, and you know, we

571
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 4: appreciate your backing and your support and your assistance, and

572
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 4: that what we've seen now with the Biden administration sort

573
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 4: of slowing down weapons shipments and things like that, sort

574
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 4: of withholding that support is a turn towards you know,

575
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 4: Israeli domestic production. So right now, and this hasn't really

576
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 4: been widely reported, there is a huge push in Israel

577
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 4: to build domestic weapons production capabilities, in particular mortars and

578
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 4: tank shells and other kind of munitions that is robot

579
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 4: typically rely on the Americans for. And I think, you know,

580
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 4: back to the question you asked about sort of what

581
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 4: the election means under the Obama years, you saw Israel,

582
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 4: you know, focusing on building relationship with others around the globe,

583
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 4: you know, with India and and and you know that

584
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 4: we saw the first trips to Africa and Singapore, Latin America.

585
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 4: So you know, a good US Israel relationship is the

586
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 4: product of, you know, what you'd expect from supportive allies,

587
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 4: an approach that you'd expect from supportive allies, which you know,

588
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 4: certainly under the Joe Biden administration it's very qualified, and

589
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 4: under the and Harris administration, I think it would be

590
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 4: even more so.

591
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 1: David Afoon, publisher of the New York Sun, we appreciate

592
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: you coming into the New York City studio and sharing

593
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: all this breakdown with all of us. It's a pleasure,

594
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 1: thank you very much. And I just mentioned that we

595
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: were supposed to be in the air headed to Israel

596
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: right now, and we were going to be helping to

597
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: advance the cause of the IFCJ that's the International Fellowship

598
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews. With all the tensions going on,

599
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: they canceled our flight to be able to go to Israel.

600
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: Most of I believe the ights to Israel, if not

601
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: all of them from the United States right now are

602
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: all shut down, and the fact is that many Jewish

603
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: people are still under direct attack rather than being able

604
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: to live their lives in total freedom as all of

605
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 1: us want them to be able to do. IFCJ does

606
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: all they can to help Israeli citizens. You can join

607
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: us in donating what you can to the IFCJ and

608
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: thank them for helping to meet the urgent security needs

609
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: of everyone in Israel. It was interesting. One of the

610
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: things we did was we were able to meet the

611
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: leadership of the IFCJ down in South Florida this week,

612
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: went to a meeting, and I was blown away by

613
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: the bravery of so many of the leaders of this organization,

614
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: but also the testimony of what the impact of these

615
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: donations have meant in terms of being able to protect

616
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: innocent isles and the battles that Yael, the founder there,

617
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: does fight every single day on behalf of the Jewish people.

618
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 1: You can make a tremendous gift right now at eight

619

Speaker 1: Buck Out with his Family. We back up with me

630
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: on Monday. Join now by Senator from my home state

631
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: of Tennessee, the official Republican in the wake of yesterday's

632
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: primary in the state of Tennessee. Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator,

633
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: you've got your race coming up. Thanks for joining us

634
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: here on this Friday. But also you know the importance

635
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: of being in the majority. So we've obviously spent a

636
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: lot of time talking about Trump versus Kamalin now and

637
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: I'll probably ask you a bit about it, But how

638
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: optimistic are you as you look at the larger board

639
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: of available races that Republicans are going to take back

640
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: control of the Senate And what would it mean for

641
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: your ability if you were a part of the majority

642
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: as opposed to the minority.

643
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 5: Yes, indeed. And when you look at the races that

644
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 5: are on the board Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania,

645
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 5: West Virginia, Wisconsin, you see the opportunity for Republicans to

646
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 5: win in each of these states, Michigan, which is an

647
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 5: open state. But what it means is that we have

648
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 5: to be diligent in getting our message out and talking

649
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 5: about what it is going to mean to have Republicans

650
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 5: in charge. Because whoever is the majority in the Senate

651
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 5: sets the agenda. It also allows us to block bad nominees.

652
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 5: You know, the Senate is in the personnel business, and

653
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 5: we're the ones that have to confirm all of the

654
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 5: judges and the ambassadors and the executive appointments for the administration.

655
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 5: So being able to block people that are not qualified,

656
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 5: being able to block judges that are not that have

657
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 5: never been a judge and are wanting to go to

658
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 5: the federal bench. So it makes a big difference in

659
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 5: We are hopeful with President Trump in the White House,

660
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 5: we will be able to do a lot of good

661
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 5: work on government reform, right sizing the federal government, getting

662
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 5: spending un control, which by the way, has been the

663
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 5: big driver of inflation, out of control, government spending. Of course,

664
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 5: secure that border and deal with the crime and the

665
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 5: gangs that have come into this country, and take care

666
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 5: of our veterans. Right now, the VA has a one

667
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 5: million case backlock. One million. And we also want to

668
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 5: make certain that our allies around the globe know they're

669
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 5: an ally and that our enemies fear us.

670
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn, you were in the hearing. I believe it

671
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: was on Tuesday, the most recent. The Secret Service acting

672
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: director is speaking right now. You pursued and help to

673
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: get the current Secret Service director out. I watch these videos.

674
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean Fox News has a new one that I'm

675
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: sure you've seen of what looks like the guy with

676
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: the gun running across the roof while Trump is talking.

677
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: You've seen all the failure that occurred. I've said, this

678
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: can only be gross criminal negligence or intent. That is,

679
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 1: they intentionally failed. It's hard to believe the second could

680
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: be the case. What consequences are are therefore, at minimum

681
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: a gross criminal negligent performance by everyone entrusted with protecting

682
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: President Trump.

683
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 5: Well, these individuals need to be fired. The Secret Service

684
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 5: works on two different things. One is counterfeiting and the

685
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 5: second is the personal security, and that is the security

686
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 5: of right now a total of thirty one people, and

687
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 5: that is your current president, vice president, their family, and

688
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 5: then your former presidents and then a few people in

689
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 5: the administration that have had death threats. So that is

690
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 5: the group that personal security is what they are tasked with.

691
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 5: And you know, Clay, as I've said many times, this

692
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 5: isn't like you missed your budget numbers or you didn't

693
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 5: get your case work quota complete. When the Secret Service

694
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 5: messes up, people die. And that is exactly what you

695
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 5: saw in Butler, Pennsylvania. And to this day, we still

696
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 5: do not have the action plan. We do not know

697
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 5: who cleared Donald Trump to go on that stage at

698
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 5: six o'clock when an hour prior they had noted a

699
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 5: suspicious person, and at five point fifty one they deemed

700
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 5: him a potential threat, and at five point fifty three

701
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 5: they alerted the sharpshooters. So how could anybody clear the

702
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 5: former president? How could they do that? And we have

703
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 5: to be mindful of that, And those are some of

704
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 5: the answers we're wanting to get from the Secret Service.

705
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: When you, I know, your mom and a grandma, a

706
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: lot of people out there are really concerned about what

707
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: their kids see online, and parents try to be as

708
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: forthright and in control of that as they possibly can be.

709
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: You guys are starting to address that in the Senate.

710
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: What have you done and how do you think it

711
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: might help?

712
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, the Kids Online Safety Guide, which is the legislation

713
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 5: that Dick Bloomenthal and I have led in a bipartisan

714
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 5: manor for about the last three and a half years.

715
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 5: We passed it on Tuesday with a ninety one to

716
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 5: three vote and passed it out of the Senate. It

717
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:49,439
Speaker 5: was a huge win, absolutely tremendous win for us, and

718
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 5: it will now go to the House. What this bill

719
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 5: will do is require your social media platforms to do

720
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 5: safety by design. You know, we have all sorts of

721
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 5: product design requirements on products in the physical world, but

722
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 5: we have no requirements in the virtual space. So this

723
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 5: is a first. It also will require a duty of

724
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 5: care from these social media platforms. They must open up

725
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 5: their algorithms, they must submit to an annual audit, and

726
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 5: they have to have a toolbox for kids and parents

727
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 5: so they can adjust these algorithms to determine what the

728
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 5: child is seeing from the virtual space. You know, there

729
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 5: are laws In the physical space, you cannot take a

730
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 5: child to a strip show, a bar, a casino, you

731
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 5: cannot sell alcohol, tobacco, pornography to a child. But in

732
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 5: the virtual space, they're exposed to this every day, to

733
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 5: the pornographic images, to people that are pushing suicidal ideation,

734
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 5: to eating disorders. They're meeting drug dealers, alcohol dealers, sex traffickers, pedophiles,

735
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 5: and it is ruining the lives of our children. And

736
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 5: people have said, we have to put something in place

737
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 5: so that we aren't just allowing kids to be exposed

738
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 5: to this. We have to have some parameters. So this

739
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 5: is the bill that we'll do that, and we are

740
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 5: looking forward to seeing it finish in the House in

741
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 5: September and then move to the President's desk.

742
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: We're talking to Senator Marsha Blackburn. You served, i believe,

743
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: alongside of Kamala Harris for a couple of years in

744
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 1: the Senate. Now that she is the nominee, what do

745
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: you think based on your knowledge of her from your

746
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: experience about the race against Trump, and whether she's qualified

747
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: or able to do the job of president.

748
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's going to be the same group

749
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 5: of policies that you have had with Biden Harris. She

750
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 5: is going to continue that. And look at her record.

751
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 5: When I was ranked the most conservative member of the

752
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 5: US in twenty nineteen, Tamala was ranked the most liberal.

753
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 5: She is for defunding the police. She is for ending

754
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 5: cash bail. She has given to these bail funds that

755
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 5: get criminals out of jail. She thinks that police should

756
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 5: be treated like criminals and criminals should be tagged as victims.

757
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 5: She has been the borders are where she failed miserably.

758
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 5: She didn't even go to the lower Rio Grand Valley

759
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 5: when she went to the border, she went to al Paso.

760
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 5: She thinks that all ten million illegal aliens should be

761
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 5: given free health care. They should be given the right

762
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 5: to vote. As a matter of fact, she would do

763
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 5: away with private health insurance for everyone. She thinks we

764
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 5: need to go to government run health care and nobody

765
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 5: has private insurance. Everybody can only have whatever healthcare the

766
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 5: government says that you can get. She is for ending

767
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 5: all oil and gas production in the US and for

768
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 5: passing the Green New Deal, and she would pack the court.

769
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 5: She is for allowing boys in girl sports. These are

770
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 5: her positions. She is the most radical leftist person who

771
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 5: has ever been on a ballot and run for president

772
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 5: in the United States.

773
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn, congratulations on the report publican nomination ninety days.

774
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,120
