1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. Wednesday edition of The Clay Travis and Buck

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: Sexton Show kicks off right now. A lot going on,

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: so we know yesterday when I was on the air

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: with you, Oh, Clay will in fact call us from

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: his super secret mission abroad this hour, So we're gonna

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: set that up for you. Clay's out for the week's traveling,

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: but he wants to tell you what he's been up to.

8
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: One of you might have already guessed it, which was

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: a pretty remarkable, remarkable thing. But he'll be joining us

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: later on, and we also have Michael Wattley joining He's

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: running for Senate North Carolina, so looking forward to that

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: as that conversation gets rolling. Now. Now, we had yesterday

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: the House all voting in favor of except for one guy,

14
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: a Republican voting in favor of the Epstein Transparency Act.

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: And then we had and last night the Senate passing

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: the same bill unanimously. Senators locked in agreement, automatically passing

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: the bill as soon as it came in from the House.

18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Just looking at the updates here. Once the President signs

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: the bill, the Justice Department has thirty days to release

20
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: materials related to Jeffrey Epstein. Now this is moving. The

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: President has already said that he believes this is or

22
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: that he's supportive of this. Now he has said that

23
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: he thinks this is the right move. So we're going

24
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: to get into what's going to happen here. It's not

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: like we're going to know all of the details even

26
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: for some time here. There may be further redactions that happen,

27
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: or rather that we will have to contend with, because

28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: my sense is if the redactions are extensive enough, then

29
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: people will say that's not gonna fly, that's not good enough.

30
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: There have to be more things that are released. So

31
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: that's one possibility. Another possibility is that there's nothing massive

32
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: I say massive in the information that is released, the files,

33
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: if you will, of this investigation, and then people just

34
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: say they hid stuff, and there's still a clamoring for

35
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: more transparency, more. Those are all the things. Those are

36
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: some of the things that I think could come out

37
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: of this. But there was this today as I was

38
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: preparing for our show. Here this is cut twenty seven Pambondi,

39
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: the Attorney General, referring to the Epstein investigation as a

40
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 1: pending investigation. Play twenty seven.

41
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: The issue with the new information that you just indicated,

42
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: are is the Department seeking information perhaps from the Epstein

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: is State because mister Blanche did not have that information

44
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: when he interviewed de Lane Maxwell. What new information? And

45
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: would you limit the new investigation to just those named

46
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: persons that the President talked about or is this a

47
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: broad open ended investigation.

48
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: I would refer to the Deputy Attorney General's post that

49
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: he put out on X and we will We're not

50
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: going to say anything else on that because now it

51
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: is a pending investigation in the Southern District of New.

52
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: York, a pending investigation. Meanwhile, the House has demanded Epstein

53
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: financial records from JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and the

54
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: US Virgin Islands. That's just in the last twenty four hours.

55
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: Now.

56
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: A few things here I can't tell you. I don't

57
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: know obviously, none of you know, no one outside of

58
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: a very small circle nose in this release that Donald Trump,

59
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: I am very confident, is going to sign the final step,

60
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: if you will, before the release. And then there's thirty days,

61
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: so we're gonna wait a bit. We're gonna wait a

62
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: bit for this information. I don't know exactly how many days,

63
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: but they have up to thirty days to release. Maybe

64
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: it'll come much faster than that. We'll see how the

65
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: bureaucracy handles this. But I sit here and I say

66
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: to myself, because you know, and the House has already

67
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: released sixty five thousand documents related to Epstein, you know

68
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: very well that I have been pounding a certain drum

69
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: on this issue of follow the money, follow the money.

70
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: It is completely unthinkable, unthinkable to me, or rather it

71
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: should be unthinkable maybe a better way of putting it,

72
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: that we do not have a full accounting of how

73
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Epstein pulled together a fortune that was approaching a billion dollars.

74
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: This guy did not create some new product, He did

75
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: not found some company. He was not some hedge fun

76
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: guy running thirty billion dollars of other people's money. There

77
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: are ways you can make a billion dollars. Tax advice

78
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: is not one of them. It's just not one of them.

79
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: And so this then brings up how did he make

80
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: this money? Why is it that there were some people

81
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: in Epstein's orbit who were unbelievably and I mean that

82
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: in the real sense of can't believe it, unbelievably generous

83
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: to him. Why the money, I think is the single

84
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: best chance we have to get these answers. According to

85
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: subpoenias that were just put out by the House, JP

86
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: Morgan Chase began an internal investigation into accounts previous held

87
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: by Epstein, flagging some forty seven hundred transactions as suspicious.

88
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Epstein held accounts and bench with the bank with Deutsche

89
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: Bank from twenty thirteen until twenty eighteen. So they're going

90
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: back in here into the money trail, and I sit

91
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: here wondering how it is. And by the way, I

92
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: want to be clear that sometimes I will ask questions

93
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: here that are rhetorical because something isn't adding up. How

94
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: is it possible that we don't have a full and

95
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: clear understanding of where all of Epstein's money came from.

96
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: We've had a little bit here, a little bit there,

97
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: but this should be obvious. And I might add, if

98
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: it's somewhere already, if they have the the flow chart

99
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: of funds, if it's in the release, why haven't we

100
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: already been given it? Why is it taking all of

101
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: this pressure and all of this time. Why is it

102
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: taking us to this place to be in a situation

103
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: to finally get those answers? So there's more that is

104
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: coming out here. Now. I think you can pretty much

105
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: set your watch to this one. No matter what happens

106
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: here with the files. In terms of nothing, this is

107
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: all about getting Trump for the Democrats. And there's something

108
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: very grotesque about Democrats suddenly caring they didn't care about

109
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: this during the Biden administration, suddenly caring so much about

110
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: the Epstein files, Epstein's victims, all of this. It's hard

111
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: not to view it as posturing, because it is posturing,

112
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: meant to create the moral high ground from which they

113
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: can throw mud at Donald Trump, or at least the

114
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: appearance of such a thing. No matter what happens with

115
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: these files, I can assure you they will not say,

116
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, you know, up is cleared. Trump didn't do

117
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: an It didn't do anything. And so that also brings

118
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: us to why I think Trump wasn't so immediately in

119
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: favor of the release, because no matter how much transparency

120
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: he offers, or rather he gives, and for a lot

121
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: of people, I understand, this is a file through on

122
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: a campaign promise, So you want it irrespective of anything else,

123
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: and that's very valid, and clearly Trump has decided that

124
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: that's what's going to happen. This should have been done.

125
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people recognize now sooner. A

126
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: lot of you were calling in and demanding it, to

127
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,359
Speaker 1: which I just kept saying, Yeah, I want more transparency.

128
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't have the files, right, it's not in my

129
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: power to release them. All we can do is air

130
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: as we did, our sense that there's more here and

131
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: that there's more to be uncovered. And I think that

132
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: that has certainly happened. I think that has certainly been

133
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: a very real motivation here right, telling people having the

134
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: Trump base come forward and say we don't have the

135
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: answers we want. We're not accepting anything else. It's time

136
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: for this all to come clean now. Speaker Johnson, he

137
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: is pointing out here, this is cut one. He's saying

138
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: that the president has nothing to do with it. Democrats

139
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: are going to weaponize it. Just be prepared for this.

140
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: They're going to attack Trump even if his name doesn't

141
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: appear one more time in the files. Play clip one.

142
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: This is a political exercise for Democrats. And it pains

143
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 4: me to say it. I wish that was not the truth,

144
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: but it is, and it's undeniable. This is as deceitful

145
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: and dishonest, as their pointless stunt was to shut the

146
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 4: government down. Democrats are using the Epstein tragedy, the unspeakable

147
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: evils that this guy committed with his trafficking ring and

148
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 4: all of the abuses that they that they made these

149
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 4: young women go through. They're using that as a political

150
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 4: weapon to try to distract from their failures as a

151
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: party and to try their best to try to tie

152
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: President Trump somehow into this wretched scandal. The President had

153
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 4: nothing to do with it. He's been very clear and

154
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: he has nothing to hide, and that's why he's endorsed

155
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 4: the vote today.

156
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: I think that's where we are. I think the President

157
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: is about to show all of his naysayers, detractors, haters.

158
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: They're haters, they're not detractors, and they're deranged. In many cases.

159
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: They hate him in a way that is that is irrational,

160
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: and that is extreme to the point of being unhealthy.

161
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: Trump Arrangement syndrome. But they're not going to ever say

162
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: that it's enough. You can never convince the people who

163
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: have been trying to dirty Trump up with Epstein that

164
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: there's not more to be found that would prove that

165
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: Trump is really the bad guy. So just be prepared

166
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: for that, and in fact, Chuck Schumer is out there

167
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: saying already that this is and this has cut three

168
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: one of the worst, most damaging moments of the Trump presidency.

169
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: This will go down as one of the most damaging

170
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 5: moments of Donald Trump's presidency. In trying so hard to

171
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 5: hide the truth, Donald Trump has provoked the fiercest rebellion

172
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 5: he's ever faced among his own supporters, both in Congress

173
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 5: and around the country. All the line, all the broken

174
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 5: promises about transparency, all the bullying and threats to members

175
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 5: of Congress who wanted these files released, it's all blown

176
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,239
Speaker 5: up in Donald Trump's face. His usual methods of intimidation

177
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 5: and dishonesty have failed spectacularly in this instance.

178
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: So we are to believe if you listen to Chuck

179
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: Schumer there, who's had a rough go of it lately,

180
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,239
Speaker 1: you know, the whole Schumer shut down disaster for him. Politically,

181
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 1: people are realizing the guy's too old. Whatever fastball used

182
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: to have is no longer there. Chuck Schumer is saying,

183
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: this is such a disaster. We are to believe that

184
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: the Biden doj which was on a jihad against Trump,

185
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: we are to believe that they had derogatory information about

186
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump while they were prosecuting him in a two

187
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: federal criminal trials that were, as we know, political, totally

188
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: politically motivate, but that they didn't release this. How does

189
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: that add up? You know, they never really address this.

190
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: They just didn't pay attention. It's not hard. You have

191
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: all these files, especially now with AI. I'm going to

192
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: tell you something. You could find Trump's name and find

193
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: every reference to him in seconds doing a simple search.

194
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: And you could use AI to find anything that even

195
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: vaguely is Trump adjacent in all these documents. So don't

196
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: tell me all they didn't have the manpower, they didn't

197
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: have the ability to figure this out. No, they're doing

198
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 1: this because for one thing, unfortunately, they have been successful

199
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: and completely changing the national political conversation away from the stupidity,

200
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: the selfishness, and the absurdity and the destruction of the

201
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: Schumer shutdown they've already managed. Notice, does it even feel

202
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: like we had a month long government shutdown for no

203
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: good reason except for a Democrat tantrum? Feels like it

204
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: was years ago now because they've completely shifted the conversation

205
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: that's already happened I can't stop it. You know, I

206
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: wish I had the power to direct the whole national conversation.

207
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: We've got millions of you who listen, but there's you know,

208
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty million people in the country when

209
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: you add all the illegals, something like that. So here

210
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: we are, and we're going to see Trump. We're going

211
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: to see Trump signing this, and then there's going to

212
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: be more files released and we'll continue to work through them.

213
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 1: I do not believe there will be a smoking gun.

214
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: I was actually on with Piers Morgan for his show

215
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: which will be airing later today, and Peers dramatically strenuously

216
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: disagrees with me on this. He thinks that there are

217
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: people who are going to go to prison over the

218
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: what's in the I completely I just don't see it,

219
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: because the DOJ then would have to admit that they

220
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: were holding files that should have brought prosecution for child

221
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: sex traffickers. Really, they're right at the deal. I mean,

222
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it's impossible to believe the dj

223
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: would do that, but it's pretty extreme. That's that's quite

224
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: a stretch. And then they're going to release it and

225
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: have to say, oh yeah, we were covering up for

226
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: these guys. Are people even going to accept this? Ask

227
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: yourself this question. Ask it now? Are people going to

228
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: accept if they do put out all this stuff they've

229
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: got in their possession? Will there be an acceptance that

230
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: this is everything that they really have? Will we ever

231
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: get all the answers? This is the reality of this

232
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,560

Speaker 8: I am in Rome.

272
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 9: I'm overlooking the tomb of Augustus. And I got to

273
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 9: go and see the Pope today in the Vatican to

274
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 9: to you know, complete this this idea, yeah, that we had,

275
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 9: which I think was a pretty cool one to invite

276
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 9: the Pope to come to Chicago and throw out an

277
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 9: opening pitch for the Chicago White Sox. So all of

278
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 9: this has has happened. Today it's evening, getting ready to

279
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 9: go out and have some wine and have a good dinner.

280
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 9: But it was an awesome day.

281
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: So UH, that was.

282
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 9: The super secret trip. I didn't want to step on

283
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 9: anything about the about the process of getting that invite

284
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 9: out to the Pope. But UH got to meet the

285
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 9: ambassadors UH to Italy and the UH and the UH

286
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 9: Vatican City got to be there for the UH for

287
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 9: the offer to the Pope.

288
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: And UH.

289
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 9: There's video and UH and footage. I think that's going

290
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 9: to be up on OutKick soon that we'll try to

291
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 9: get shared with you guys.

292
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: So so you you have met with the pontiff. You're

293
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: not you're not a Catholic, right, Clay? I am not? Yeah,

294
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: and you're not.

295
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 9: And uh but it was it was a yes.

296
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: But certainly what I was gonna say is of people,

297
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: right for our Catholic audience is like a really really

298
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: big deal. You know, it would be amazing to be

299
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: able to actually meet the Pope in person. What was it?

300
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: Like?

301
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: I mean, take us through this, So it's did he

302
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: did he tell you that? You know, Nick Saban is

303
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time? Like did he make a

304
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: sports choke?

305
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 9: Like?

306
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: Did he bless you? Take us? Take where did you

307
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: see him? You got to give us some of these details.

308
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 9: So on Wednesday they do a open public forum, a

309
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 9: sort of pope address in many different languages, you know,

310
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 9: with probably ten fifteen thousand people maybe more than that

311
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 9: in the in the square outside of Saint Peter's outdoor.

312
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: It was a great weather.

313
00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 9: I believe they have a big public area down on

314
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 9: the in the in the larger sort of plaza there.

315
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 9: We were up close to the stage. He does all

316
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 9: of his all of his homily, his address in multiple

317
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 9: different languages, and then afterwards there are people that he greets.

318
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: And the new.

319
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 9: Owner of the Chicago White Sox happens to be a

320
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 9: law school classmate of mine, and we were a couple

321
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 9: of months ago sitting around trying to think of ways

322
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 9: that he could introduce himself to the people of Chicago.

323
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 9: And I had seen the JD Vance presents a Chicago

324
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 9: Bears jersey to the Pope, and I said, you know

325
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 9: what we should You should invite him to come and

326
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 9: throw out the first pitch at a proposed new stadium

327
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 9: that they are in the process of of working through

328
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 9: in Chicago for the White Sox. And that seems like

329
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 9: a good idea, And then the process of okay, well,

330
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 9: how do you get in touch with the Pope to

331
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 9: be able to get a meeting. He seems really really

332
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 9: excited at the idea. He got a For people out

333
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 9: there who are sports fans, the Chicago White Sox won

334
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 9: the World Series in two thousand and five and Pope Leo,

335
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 9: obviously not the Pope then, was in the crowd at

336
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 9: the World Series and so he's a huge White Sox fan.

337
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 9: And so my friend, the new owner, one of the

338
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 9: new owners soon to be officially the owner, got the

339
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 9: whole team from two thousand and five to sign a

340
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 9: White Sox jersey from that year, and then also conveyed

341
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 9: the offer to the Pope, you know, schedule permitting for

342
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 9: the Pope to come and throw out the first pitch

343
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 9: when they opened the stadium. Pope hasn't been, to my knowledge,

344
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 9: to Chicago since nineteen seventy nine. So again, this happened

345
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 9: early this morning in uh, in the Vatican and is

346
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 9: becoming a big story obviously in Chicago, and I think

347
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 9: a lot of people are finding it to be, uh,

348
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 9: just a you know, awesome, cool story in general. Uh overall,

349
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 9: if you are you know, there's not a particular political

350
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 9: connotation to it or anything like that, but if you

351
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 9: are a fan of sports, it's just kind of cool

352
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 9: to have an American pope and someone who is going

353
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 9: to to hopefully in the next couple of years be

354
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 9: able to come to Chicago and uh and and do

355
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 9: something incredibly unique and awesome in the in the city.

356
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: So that's kind of so the offer was made, but

357
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: we don't know, we we don't yet know if the

358
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: Pope is going to be able to do this. Is

359
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: that is that right?

360
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 9: Well? He just I mean the Pope's schedule, as one

361
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 9: might imagine, is very busy. He said that he wants

362
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 9: to do it. We've got to figure out exactly what

363
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 9: the date is, but it's kind of what I would

364
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 9: say as a conditional acceptance. He knew that the offer

365
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 9: was coming. He was excited to be able to get

366
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 9: the offer, to get the jersey, to be able to

367
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 9: meet and Uh, I think he's going to Uh.

368
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: I think he's.

369
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 9: Going to try and uh and and I mean he

370
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 9: said he's going to try and do it, so it

371
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 9: could it should be a pretty awesome event.

372
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: Look at you, globe trotting so like making just.

373
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 9: Trying to do good things and make the world a

374
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 9: little bit better place, as everyone assumes that I always

375
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 9: will be trying to.

376
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: Do and Clay Clay is uh is making his making

377
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: his moves over there at the Catholic Rock of Saint Peter,

378
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: that is the church. Uh So, now tell me what

379
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: you think about the epstein Foss since we got you

380
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: on the phone, says we got you.

381
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 9: I'm glad that everybody has voted to release him. Buck,

382
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 9: You've got the rest of the show. I am going

383
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 9: to have abundant amounts of wine tonight and have a

384
00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 9: great dinner in Rome. Uh you you brought I hope that.

385
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: Uh, I'll handle it. I'll handle it. You go have

386
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: some gelato with Laura and the kids. Go have fun

387
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: and very cool. Congratulations on the meeting with the Pope,

388
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: and thank you sir. Come come back Friday or Monday,

389
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: whatever you got. We'll see you then. Okay, we'll do

390
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: I'll see you, have fun, mat have a good dinner.

391
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: So I they said, there you go. Clay met the Pope.

392
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: So there's that, and that was why he was. He

393
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: was gone this week. It's very exciting, very exciting. The Pope.

394
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: Also we did have I was going to read the

395
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: email from from Sissy who said that that's what she

396
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: thought was happening. And that's a pretty remarkable, pretty remarkable call.

397
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: She said, I'm looking forward to hearing the details of

398
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: Clay's super secret trip on the show. My guess is

399
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: he got a once in a lifetime interview with the

400
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: Pope since he's a baseball fan, just a wild guest.

401
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: There you go, you nailed it, and Sissy, we got

402
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: your follow up. Ema, Oh my goodness, I got it correct,

403
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: Clay in the Pope. Maybe I should buy a lottery tickets.

404
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: So we did, and that was before Clay tweeted about

405
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: this or put it out on x But this was

406
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: before that happened. Clay was supposed to reveal this on

407
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: the show, but he's Clay. He does whatever he wants.

408
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: So there we are team, Why don't we Because we're

409
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna have kind of a hard turn coming up here

410
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: into the world of from meeting with the Pope to

411
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: the release of the Epstein files. We have a little

412
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: bit of a transition to do, and we'll rack and

413
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 1: stack some calls and some talkbacks on this one, because

414
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: I think that what we are seeing is hopefully what

415
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: many of you have been demanding all along. We also

416
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: have the White House weighing in on the filibuster via

417
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt and Trump really rolling out the red carpet

418
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: for the Saudi leadership, which is something that I think

419
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: this is a good thing for the region, a good

420
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: thing for America, for the Middle East, I mean good

421
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: thing for America. I think you might see a normalization

422
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia under this Trump presidency,

423
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: furthering the Abraham Accords, and I think you might see

424
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: the big move in the Middle East with regard to that,

425
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: and Trump is trying to bring that about. Of course,

426
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: there are the detractors, the haters out there, the people

427
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: who are upset that Trump would sit with the head

428
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: of state of a country that, whether we want to

429
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: deal with the Saudis or not, is critical to our

430
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: energy infrastructure or rather energy market, and we really don't

431
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: have a choice. So why not have a constructive relationship

432
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: with the Saudis. Why not try to encourage them to yes,

433
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: invest in America, which is a huge focus from Trump,

434
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: but also to do what they can to liberalize. I

435
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: know Saudi Arabia is an autocracy. I'm fully aware of

436
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: the and I know about the past with Saudi Arabia's

437
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: role in unfortunately exporting the what we used to refer

438
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: to very much as the Wahabist ideology, which is a

439
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: radical interpretation of Islam setting up Wahabist mosques all over

440
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: the world. They've moved away from that. They've become a

441
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: constructive partner for security in the region, and they're making

442
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: overtures toward a better relationship with Israel, and that would

443
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: be very helpful for Middle East peace and stability. So

444
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: that's why that's going on. Also, something else, we're gonna

445
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: have Michael Watley joining us later. He's running for Senate

446
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: up there in North Carolina, a very important Senate seat.

447
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: And there's some major immigration enforcement operations underway in North Carolina.

448
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: That there's pushback of course from Democrats. What's really going

449
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: on there? When I tell you I have some stats,

450
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: When I tell you how many kids are are staying

451
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: home because of immigration illegal alien immigration enforcement in North Carolina,

452
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be pretty shocked. And it gives

453
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: you a sense of how enormous the scale of illegal

454
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: immigration is and the costs associated with this. You are

455
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: paying for this, especially if you live in North Carolina,

456
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: live in these districts where the kids are staying home.

457
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: You're paying for English as a second language training in

458
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: these schools. You are bringing in students from abroad who

459
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: are going to be far beyond, a far behind. We

460
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: already through the Americans behind grade level, we mean way

461
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: behind grade level, and hold the rest of the class back.

462
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean, think about this, if English is not their

463
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: first language and then they're put in these classrooms. There's

464
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: just so much going on here. We'll talk to Michael

465
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: Waltley about the immigration enforcement component of this coming up.

466
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: And like I said, we'll get to your calls here

467
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: Epstein files. Trump is signing it. Congress has said, all right,

468
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: you're getting the files. Is this good enough? Is assuming

469
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: it happens? Is this good enough? Is there more? What

470
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: do you think? Give us a call. Look, Clay unfortunately

471
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have a rapid radio right now. Technically they think

472
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: that'll be too far away in Italy. But rapid radios

473
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: all across the United States are amazing and I've talked

474
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: to Clay on my rapid radio here in the US.

475
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: Rapid radios are modern day walkie talkies. They work on

476
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: the LT network. They can connect to anyone anywhere in

477
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: the US holding the same device. You've got kids who

478
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: aren't ready for a cell phone, but you want to

479
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: stay in touch with them, get a pair of rapid radios.

480
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: They're durable, easy to use right out of the box.

481
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: You just push a button and talk, just like an

482
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: old school walkie talkie, but with much better range. Rapid

483
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: radios are also great during severe weather or service disruptions

484
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: of any kind. And my family, with my in laws

485
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: in North Carolina, relied on them during Hurricane Helen. Rapid

486
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: radio is deliver peace of mind when it matters most.

487
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: We don't know when the next stormer emergency will come,

488
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: but we know we have a way to stay connected.

489
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: This holiday, give a gift that pt text the people

00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what's going on in North Carolina. Our

500
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: guest here, Michael Wattley, running for a critical Senate seat there. Michael,

501
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: appreciate you joining us here calling in. Tell us what

502
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: has been going on with your state when it comes

503
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: to illegal immigration enforcement. There's been some very interesting exchanges

504
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm seeing online.

505
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, the biggest thing to kind of table set

506
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 8: for all of your listeners. Is the fact that my opponent,

507
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 8: Roy Cooper, when he was the governor of North Carolina,

508
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 8: vetoed legislation which would have forced sheriffs to honor ICE

509
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 8: detainers and move violent criminal illegal aliens out of the state.

510
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 8: And so now we have a system where we have

511
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 8: a revolving door that's putting these criminals back on the street.

512
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 8: They are not being deported, and ICE has come in

513
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 8: to make a number of arrests and help clean up

514
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 8: the mess that Roy Cooper has created in North Carolina.

515
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: People who are trying to get a sense of the

516
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: scale of the illegal immigration issue. I don't know if

517
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: you saw this, It was being shared broadly online. This

518
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: number that in the Charlotte Public School system earlier this

519
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: week there were twenty one thousand. Now apparently the CMS

520
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: data is not finalized yet, but basically twenty one thousand

521
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: students miss school in just the Charlotte Public School District

522
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: on Monday, which they say is fifteen percent. I mean,

523
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: this is this is kind of stunning. I think that

524
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: that many kids are affected by because they have legal

525
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 1: immigrant parents. What's going on here? What can you tell

526
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: us about this?

527
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 7: Well?

528
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 8: I think it's stunning. That when you look at the

529
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 8: you know, millions of illegal immigrants that came across the

530
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 8: border during Joe Biden's administration, ten fifteen million immigrants that

531
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 8: came across. Hundreds of thousands of them were known criminals

532
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 8: who had records, and they still were released into you know,

533
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 8: states like North Carolina. The fact is that North Carolina

534
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 8: should not be a border state, but we are a

535
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 8: border state. And so you know, when we think about

536
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 8: having ice come in and be able to take these

537
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 8: people off the street, and they're saying, you know, there've

538
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,719
Speaker 8: been over two hundred plus arrests so far. You know,

539
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 8: these are people who've been arrested who have criminal records,

540
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 8: that people who are wanted for criminal records and need

541
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 8: to be deported. It is absolutely a dereliction of duty

542
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 8: for you know, the sheriff of Mecklenburg County, sheriffs of

543
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 8: of Wake County, which is Raleigh, or you know, Durham

544
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 8: County uh to to not honor these ice detainers. And

545
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 8: it was a dereliction of duty for Roy Cooper to

546
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 8: veto legislation. Would it have forced them to be able

547
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 8: to do that?

548
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: What kind of drain on the budget has it been

549
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: for the state of North Carolina to have And can

550
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: you give us a sense there are some places we

551
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: think about illegal immigration a lot, right you think about

552
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: New York City and the state of California, Texas, you know,

553
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: places along the border the Carolinas don't necessarily come to

554
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: mind right away. But can you give some sense of

555
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: the of the scale and and also the cost for

556
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 1: the people of your state about illegal immigration uh and

557
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: and how much of an issue it has become.

558
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 8: Well, it's a huge issue, you know when you talk

559
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 8: about UH, you know, the federal programs in the state

560
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 8: programs UH to be able to help our needy. And

561
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 8: the fact that we have you know, millions of people

562
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 8: around the country illegal aliens that were on medicaid, the

563
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 8: fact that we actually had to pass legislation as part

564
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 8: of the One Big Beautiful Bill to take illegal aliens

565
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 8: and say that they cannot be on medicaid, and the

566
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 8: fact that the Democrats were fighting extremely hard to try

567
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 8: and put you know, those provisions back into place. When

568
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 8: we look at food stamps, we look at at the

569
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 8: wick programs, we look at you know, schools and and

570
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 8: all of the other costs that are out there. The

571
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 8: societal costs for services for illegal aliens is absolutely stupefying,

572
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 8: and it is it is remarkable that that Democrats in

573
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 8: North Carolina and around the country, including Roy Cooper, want

574
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 8: to fight harder for illegal aliens than they do their

575
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 8: own constituents.

576
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 1: Speaking to Michael Wattley, former R and C chair and

577
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: candidate for Senate in North Carolina, I know it's technically

578
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: early in that cycle, Michael, but the Republican Party has

579
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: already been, you know, moving forward with your candidacy, trying

580
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,399
Speaker 1: to trying to back back things up, back you up

581
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: in this because I think they recognize, Man, the Democrats,

582
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: what kind of money are they going to put behind

583
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: Roy Cooper to try to get this Senate see.

584
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 8: Well, it's going to be the most expensive Senate race

585
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 8: in the history of the country. We've seen estimates that

586
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 8: this could be as high as six hundred to eight

587
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 8: hundred million dollars that will be spent in North Carolina.

588
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 8: We know that Democrats are going to pour hundreds of

589
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 8: millions of dollars into the race. It's it's really they're

590
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 8: they're one of two pick up opportunities that they have

591
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 8: all around the country. Susan Collins up in Maine being

592
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 8: the other one. And the fact is, we're going to

593
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 8: have the support of President Trump, We're going to have

594
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 8: the support of the grassroots, We're going to have the support,

595
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 8: you know, from people all across North Carolina to be

596
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 8: able to go toe to toe with that out of

597
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 8: state money. But you know, we we look at, you know,

598
00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 8: the amount of money that Roy Cooper is going to

599
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 8: be able to bring in from around the country, and

600
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 8: it's not daunting because as we saw in the last

601
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 8: election cycle, President Trump got outspent by a billion dollars.

602
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 8: Kamala Harris, you know, raised and spent you know, two

603
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 8: point five billion dollars, but she had a terrible message.

604
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 8: And you know, good policy is good politics. So we're

605
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,720
Speaker 8: going to win this race even if we're outspent, because

606
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 8: we're going to be focused on creating jobs and raising wages.

607
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 8: We're going to be focused on keeping our kids in

608
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 8: our community safe, and obviously this current conversation is a

609
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 8: big part of that. And we're also going to focus

610
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 8: on making sure that our men and women in uniform

611
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 8: have what they need to protect our interests in our

612
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 8: allies around the world.

613
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to let you react to Josh Stein, the

614
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: governor of North Carolina. Here, Michael, this has cut seventeen

615
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: on our on our sheet team. He's he's saying, well,

616
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: I'll let everybody hear what he's saying, play seventeen.

617
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 10: We've seen masks, heavily armed agents and paramilitary garb driving

618
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 10: unmarked cars, targeting American citizens based on their skin color,

619
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 10: racially profiling and picking up random people in parking lots

620
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 10: and off of our sidewalks, going after landscaper simply decorating

621
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 10: a Christmas tree in someone's front yard, and entering churches

622
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 10: and stores to grab people. This is not making us safer.

623
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 10: It's stoking fear and dividing our community. We are a

624
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 10: nation of immigrants, and our state and this country is

625
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 10: stronger because.

626
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: Of our immigrant communities.

627
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 10: Unfortunately, our immigration system is broken, but rather than fix it,

628
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 10: the federal government continues to play politics with it.

629
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: So Governor Stein in North Carolina, Michael, does he get

630
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,720
Speaker 1: all of his talking points from MSNBC? How does that work?

631
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 9: Yeah?

632
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 8: Absolutely? I mean that is lock stock and barrel, the

633
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 8: messaging platform from the far left, the progressive radical left.

634
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 8: The fact is, if Roy Cooper had signed that legislation

635
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 8: and Griff had honored their ICE detainers, then we probably

636
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 8: would not need to have President Trump sending his administration

637
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 8: down here and taking these people off of the streets.

638
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 8: Nobody can dispute the fact that the hundreds of arrests

639
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 8: that have been made are people who have criminal records

640
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 8: and should not be walking the streets, whether it's in

641
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 8: Charlotte or Raleigh or anywhere else in North Carolina. And

642
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 8: the fact is that there are thousands of people who

643
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 8: are in North Carolina jails right now that are not

644
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 8: being turned over to ICE when they are illegal aliens.

645
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 8: Is a huge problem. That is the fault of Roy

646
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 8: Cooper is a total failure of leadership on his part.

647
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: Now, Roy Cooper, your opponent in the Senate race, is

648
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: going to be trying to convince everybody that, you know,

649
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: he's a pragmatic Democrat, one of the reasonable Democrats. Right.

650
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we're seeing right now in real time what

651
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 1: that actually means on say, illegal immigration and the enforcement

652
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: underway from the Trump administration. Democrats are expecting to pretend

653
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: that this is like the East German Stazi picking up

654
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: innocent people off the streets. Whatever. Where are some other

655
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: key areas of difference between what you would bring the

656
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: United States Senate versus Roy Cooper. Just so we have

657
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: a huge audience all across North Carolina, I want them

658
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: to hear from you how you two guys would be

659
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: markedly different and what that would mean in the United

660
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: States Senate.

661
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 8: Well, we certainly could talk about the fact that he

662
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 8: vetoed six different bills with tax cuts, bounce budgets, police

663
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 8: pay raises, and teacher pay raises. And we can talk

664
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 8: about the legislation that he vetoed that would have kept

665
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 8: boys out of girls sports and men out of women's

666
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 8: locker rooms. But I think that probably the most important

667
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 8: thing that we're going to need to talk about is

668
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 8: keeping our kids in our communities safe. And Roy Cooper,

669
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 8: when he was the governor in twenty twenty, when we

670
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 8: had Antifa and BLM riding all across North Carolina, was

671
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 8: out there marching with them in protest, and also signed

672
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 8: an executive order that basically created cashlest bail and pre

673
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 8: trial release in North Carolina, created a revolving door for

674
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 8: all of our criminals and led to violent crime spikes

675
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 8: in all major North Carolina cities. And that that is

676
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 8: the reason why we had to ren A Zeroska, a

677
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 8: beautiful young lady who was murdered in Charlotte has kind

678
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 8: of been held up as the most vivid example where

679
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 8: her murderer had been arrested fourteen different times and released

680
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 8: under Roy Cooper's soft on crime policies. That we need

681
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 8: to keep our kids in our community safe. That is

682
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 8: the number one function for any government, whether it's state, local,

683
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 8: or federal, and we need, ultimately to have policies that

684
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 8: are going to be set at the federal level to

685
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 8: keep our kids in community safe, and we cannot trust

686
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 8: Roy Cooper with it. But at the end of the day,

687
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 8: this is going to come down to a vote in

688
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 8: the Senate and whether we're going to have somebody who

689
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 8: will be an ally for President Trump and stand up

690
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 8: for the conservative values of North Carolina, or are we

691
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 8: going to have a radical progressive, a card carrying member

692
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 8: of the woke mob like Roy Cooper. And ultimately, at

693
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 8: the end of the day, North Carolina is going to

694
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 8: side with North Carolina values. They do not want a

695
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 8: candidate who's going to fight every day harder for criminals

696
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 8: and illegal aliens than he is his own constituents.

697
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 1: Well, Michael, make sure that you keep in touch with

698
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: us here and our team so that as you get

699
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: deeper into this race and you have i'm sure a

700
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: debate that will happen with Roy Cooper. You know, we

701
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: want to get the word out and continue to talk

702
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: about this one because, as you point out, it's North

703
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: Carolina and Maine that are the big targets for Democrat pickups.

704
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: So hundreds of millions of dollars going to be spent

705
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: against you. A lot of it's going to come from

706
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: Nalabu and Manhattan. But anyway, as you already know, where

707
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: can people go to follow what you're doing, help out

708

713
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,799

714
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: problems though for many displaced individuals and victims of the

715
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: NonStop war with Russia. It's a country that the International

734
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: A couple of things today I want to throw into

735
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: the mix for our conversation, for our rumination on and

736
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on it. For sure,

737
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting. It plays into some broader

738
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 1: narratives and concerns that we have. One is this Pew

739
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: Pole Pew Research Center came out just a few days ago,

740
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: and it's making the rounds now that twelfth grade girls

741
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: are less likely than twelfth grade boys to say they

742
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: actually want to get married someday. Now more overall of

743
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: twelfth graders, so these are roughly eight like eighteen year

744
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: olds right a summer seventeen, summer nineteen, but twelfth graders,

745
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: I think are basically eighteen eighteen to nineteen. More of

746
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: them say they would not get married someday, but not

747
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: a lot more. But the thing that I found more

748
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: interesting about the data here, and this is also the

749
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: kind of polling where I think it. I don't think

750
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to do this pretty accurately. I think that

751
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: you're asking for people's opinions. They're easy enough to find.

752
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: They're going to share these opinions, So it's not some

753
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: political incentive to mess with this data. It's not like

754
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: an election or something. So I think that what's there's

755
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: there's something that's concerning here and something that I actually

756
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: find encouraging. I'll start with the concerning side of this,

757
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:44,399
Speaker 1: the concerning side of it now, is that sixty one

758
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: percent of girls say that they want to get married someday.

759
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: As if I'm reading this data correctly, boys are more

760
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:53,479
Speaker 1: likely than girls to say they want to get married

761
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: some day seventy four percent versus sixty one percent. Only

762
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: sixty one percent of girls say they want to get married.

763
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: What is going on here? Well, I think we know

764
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 1: what's going on unfortunately our society, and I think, look,

765
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: I've only I've only been around for a certain period

766
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 1: of time, as you know. But for my entire adult life,

767
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: to be sure, there has been this I call it

768
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: like the Sex and the City Sex and the City effect,

769
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: the boss boss girl stuff. There has been a very

770
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: clear effort in our culture, a broad, broad effort in

771
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: our culture to tell young women to act like men,

772
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 1: not to pretend they're men. That's that's also happening. That's

773
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: a separate issue, right, that's the trends thing. But to

774
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: engage socially, certainly professionally as men do, and to view

775
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: dating and lookup culture the way that men do, and

776
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:09,279
Speaker 1: to instead of having legal equality and illegal right to

777
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: choose their own destiny, they should view themselves more as

778
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: equal as in the same as men and young women

779
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: are not the same as young men. You and I

780
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: know this is not a recipe for long term happiness

781
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 1: for women. This is not going to result in good

782
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: life choices for most of the women. There are always exceptions.

783
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: We're talking about roughly, you know, a big chunk of

784
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: humanity here. We're talking about women in the eighteen to

785
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: thirty year old age age range here. But I'll tell

786
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: you I know this just from if we want to

787
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: get anecdotal. I know so many women who are my

788
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: age now, they're in their forties that I grew up

789
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: with in New York and they had nothing but options,

790
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are not married, and they're

791
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: never going to have families now, And what do we

792
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: What would I say to them if they wanted to

793
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: hear my opinion on this, which I don't think they do.

794
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: They're probably not listening to this show. But they were

795
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: completely misled by the culture. They were put down a

796
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: pathway that was very likely to cause misery. And they're

797
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 1: even little small things along the way here. I remember

798
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: when I was when I was graduating from college, everybody

799
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: around me wanted to work at an investment bank or

800
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: a management consultant. Firm. Maybe that was an It's not

801
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: just an AMAS thing though, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Amhers Williams,

802
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 1: you know, Haverford, Stanford, Duke, all these plays. Everybody wants

803
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 1: to they want you want to come out of school.

804
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: You want to make one hundred and fifty grand your

805
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: first year out of school, which is what you can

806
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: make at some of these places as a twenty two

807
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: twenty three year old. And so that was what everybody

808
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 1: wanted to do. But the hours, especially in the investment

809
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 1: banking side, were absolutely miserable and brutal. Eighty ninety hour

810
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: weeks expected. That was I mean, if you weren't going

811
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: to sign up for that. And I just remember thinking,

812
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: I was like, how many of the young women that

813
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: I knew in that class, really, why do they want

814
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: to do that? And this some way say this is

815
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: going to sound sexist. It's not sexist. It's just an

816
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: objective view of reality. Men and women have different biological

817
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: timelines that they're operating under. That is just a fact.

818
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: Young women putting themselves in the cubicle farm from age

819
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: twenty two to you know, thirty, to try to make

820
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: VP at Goldman Sacks and grinding away indoors and do

821
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: all this stuff. Should they be able to do this

822
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: if they choose absolutely? Is this going to make most

823
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: of them happy? Well, I can tell you none of

824
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: the ones that I knew lasted. None of them did

825
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: it a couple of years, maybe stayed, stayed in finance,

826
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: and they all stopped because guys work overwhelmingly. Why do

827
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: guys work in finance? Why do guys do any job

828
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: where they can try to make a comfortable living Because

829
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: they want want to be an attractive partner, a mate,

830
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: husband for a woman, so they can provide for a family.

831
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: And you know, this is why these guys put themselves

832
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: through this. And you know the data on the other

833
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: side of this is also very clear. They've run these

834
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: experiments and you don't even have to do you just

835
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 1: think through the experiment. Guy sees a beautiful woman, a

836
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: beautiful woman, she's wearing a power suit. She's a boss babe.

837
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: Guy sees the same woman in a different context, she's

838
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,759
Speaker 1: wearing a McDonald's uniform. The percentage of guys who care

839
00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: about this is very small, very small, just a fact,

840
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: just the truth. They've done these They've done these experiments before.

841
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: You know, and and we have led so many of

842
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: these women down this young women down this pathway. And

843
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: it's my generation that I think it is. I'm a

844
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm a graybeard millennial. I do have grand my beard.

845
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm a gray beard millennial. My generation was just DEI

846
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 1: and a boss babe, sex and the city stuff just

847
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: just decimated. Certainly the people people who grew up in

848
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: the big cities and were around this really inundated with

849
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 1: this culture. And and it's still happening. These young women,

850
00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, you don't don't want to get married. I mean,

851
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,240
Speaker 1: you can sit and watch all these interviews that there

852
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 1: there's some very actually good podcasters who do these long

853
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 1: form interviews with CEOs who were wildly successful. And one

854
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: thing I've never heard and these different some of these

855
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: hosts the diary of a CEO guy. There's others. They're

856
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: always told the same thing about these guys who have

857
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: more money thany know what to do with more success,

858
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: they know what to do with if they had to regret,

859
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: it was I wish I spent more time with my family.

860
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: And if they're asked what they're most proud of, and

861
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: they have a family, you know what they say they're family.

862
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, this is all very very much there for

863
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: so I really think that there need to be more

864
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: voices speaking to you. Young women are not going to

865
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:55,959
Speaker 1: some of you. By the way, very glad you're listening

866
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: to the show. But I don't know if a forty

867
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 1: three year old guy telling women about their life choices

868
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 1: is going to resonate with you know, twenty somethings who

869
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: love Taylor Swift, Like, I understand that may not be

870
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: my prime demographic for my message, but we need more

871
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: women who can speak effectively to them. And it's for

872
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: their own good because they're being led down a pathway

873
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: that is not turning out well. And the fact that

874
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: you're getting close to almost half of women don't want

875
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: to get married, young women, eighteen year old women, they

876
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: don't want to get married. Now you could say, oh,

877
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: maybe they still want to have kids, and I would

878
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 1: say to that, you're gonna have kids. You should get married, Okay,

879
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: you should. You should have a stable family. Formation shouldn't

880
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: do the shouldn't do this, the baby mama thing, or

881
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: the shouldn't do this. Yeah, Prouser ally tells me some

882
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: people are getting mad at Taylor Swift for getting married. No, no, no,

883
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: this is this is very bad message they have. Okay,

884
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 1: on the good, so that's on the bad side of things. Women,

885
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: young women are being absolutely brainwashed, misled. It's terrible. I

886
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:04,879
Speaker 1: see it every way. And the results are just going

887
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: to be a lot of a lot of misery for

888
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: them later in life or a lot of regret. I

889
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,360
Speaker 1: should say, you know, people can find purpose and a

890
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: lot of things. And I'm not saying you can't find

891
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: purpose without a family, and certainly not saying you can't

892
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: find purpose without having children, and a lot of people

893
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: have difficulty having children. But we're talking it's like policy,

894
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: what is going to bring the greatest happiness results for

895
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: the greatest number of people getting married, having a family,

896
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: pursuing a life where you are focused day to day

897
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: outside of your own needs and wants. It's so important.

898
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: It's so important to have things that you care about.

899
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: Relationship with God, your wife, your husband, your kids, your

900
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: immediate family, you know, your family member that you're a

901
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: caretaker or taking care of. You have to care a

902
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: cause that's actually worthy, not like climate change, but an

903
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: actually worthy cause. You have to care about things beyond

904
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: yourself because otherwise you'll just go through the scale of

905
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: hedonic adaptation. Things get better, you get used to it. Materially,

906
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:12,759
Speaker 1: things get better. You don't care anymore, you know. I

907
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: was recently out with a guy is a friend of

908
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: a friend, very nice guy, and I'm not putting him down,

909
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: but I just thought it was kind of funny. There's

910
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: a car called a Pegani, which I think is costs

911
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,959
Speaker 1: like four million dollars six minutes a car. It costs

912
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. I don't know producer rally google what

913
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 1: a Pegani costs. It's absurd. And this guy has eight

914
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: of them. And let me tell you something, the ninth Pegani,

915
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna lose it, So it doesn't even care. Right,

916
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: you reach this point where that stuff doesn't matter. You

917
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 1: have to find meaning and other things, meaning things outside

918
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: of your immediate needs at once. On the upside though,

919
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: of this, saying pupil, the fact that young men and

920
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: I love it's a huge problem for the Democrat Party.

921
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: It's a huge problem for the woke left. Young men

922
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: have gotten the message. Young men realize toxic masculinity is

923
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: a toxic ideology of nonsense. They have realized that that

924
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: the suppression of traits and within masculinity, bravery, courage, aggression

925
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 1: concentrated in the right ways, you know, that the suppression

926
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: of these things. Wanting to be the leader of a family,

927
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: wanting to be the leader of a of a of

928
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 1: a community, well and whatever way that is. I want

929
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: to be a leader in the workplace. That the suppression

930
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 1: of that is just absolute nonsense and really destructive. And

931
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: young men are realizing this is why they are turning

932
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: away from the Democrat Party. That's why young men are

933
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: increasingly going back to For those those who are Christian

934
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: going back to church, they want more. They want to lead,

935
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,960
Speaker 1: They want to be spiritual leaders. They want to be

936
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: people that they want to be someone that though their

937
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: wife can count on, yes, to defend them, to protect

938
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: them physically, but also emotionally and spiritually, to be there for.

939
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: We want to have our roles. We want to pursue

940
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: the best of what it is to be a man.

941
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: Young men want to get married in greater numbers. According

942
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: to Pew. They want to be masculine, not you know,

943
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: just oh, I'm shooting up a lot of steroids and

944
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 1: you know I look like he man or whatever. No,

945
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: it's about fulfilling their masculine imperative, their masculine destiny to

946
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:53,399
Speaker 1: be men, that they become good men. They get it

947
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 1: in greater numbers, and it's just because of the failure

948
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: of what the left is offering, undermining and the hypocrisy

949
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: and the smugness of our culture of leftism and liberalism

950
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: and all this other nonsense that's just constantly degrading and

951
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: pulling men down. They see it, and they've had enough,

952
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: and they know there's something better. And I just truly

953
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: hope that the young women of America are on the

954
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:29,840
Speaker 1: precipice of a similar renaissance, a similar rebirth of understanding.

955
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: But I'm not sure. I worry women have been greatly

956
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,280
Speaker 1: misled and the damage is just beginning, I think, to

957
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,720
Speaker 1: set in for many of them. Tunnel the Towers Foundation

958
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: honors America's greatest heroes, like dedicated public servant Josh Bischoff.

959
00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 1: Josh began his firefighting career as a volunteer and quickly

960
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: rose through the ranks to become Calfire's assistant Chief of

961
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 1: Tactical Air Operations. Josh was given a driven by a

962
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: deep sense of purpose and a passion for service others.

963
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,279
Speaker 1: His leadership earned him great respect across the state of

964
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: California and beyond. Then, tragedy struck and two helicopters collided

965
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,759
Speaker 1: while fighting at California Wildfire. Josh was killed in the crash.

966
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: He leaves behind his wife, Cheryl, and their two children,

967
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: Derek and Juliana. The Tauata Towers Foundation paid the Bishoff

968
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: family's mortgage, lifting a financial burden and enabling Josh's family

969
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: to focus on healing after unimaginable loss. Josh's family is

970
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: committed to honoring his memory by living with the same drive,

971
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: joy and purpose that he did. Honor and help heroes

972
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,080
