Speaker 1: Welcome In Thursday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton show, We've
Speaker 1: got some good news and some awful news. So I
Speaker 1: will start with the good news. Early this morning, the
Speaker 1: big beautiful Bill passed the House of Representatives two fifteen
Speaker 1: to to fourteen. It is now on to the United
Speaker 1: States Senate, where expectations are that it will pass at
Speaker 1: some point in the next month and become the law
Speaker 1: of the land. More flexibility in the United States Senate
Speaker 1: because it's a little bit better of a majority fifty
Speaker 1: three forty seven than what Mike Johnson was working with
Speaker 1: on a regular basis in the House of Representatives. So
Speaker 1: all of that very very positive news that happened early
Speaker 1: this morning. Unfortunately, an awful thing happened late last night
Speaker 1: in our nation's capital when too young, soon to be
Speaker 1: engaged individuals, one from Kansas, the other from Jerusalem. It's
Speaker 1: an awful story. The man in this relationship was planning
Speaker 1: to propose, had already bought her a ring, and they
Speaker 1: were shot and killed in cold antisemitic blood on the
Speaker 1: streets of our nation's capital. And this is what globalized
Speaker 1: the Intifada leads to. This is why everyone on a
Speaker 1: college campus that has been moronically walking around saying globalize
Speaker 1: the into fada. This is what they are calling for.
Speaker 1: This is, unfortunately what happens in Israel. Quite often, a
Speaker 1: terrorist comes up and kills someone because they happened to
Speaker 1: be Jewish, and it felt sadly inevitable, inevitable to me
Speaker 1: that this would occur. But here is I want to
Speaker 1: play the audio because there's no uncertainty about exactly what happened.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 1: Here is the individual who will soon be charged with
Speaker 1: the crime, if he has not already been shouting free,
Speaker 1: free Palestine after he murdered two Israeli diplomats on the
Speaker 1: streets of Washington, d C. Here's cut too, so there's
Speaker 1: no uncertainty about what his motives are. This is a
Speaker 1: chant that has been screamed loudly on college campuses everywhere
Speaker 1: in many different American streets by people who claim that
Speaker 1: Israel is the bad guy in the wake of October seventh.
Speaker 1: Let me make sure that you know these individuals' names.
Speaker 1: This is the Israeli ambassador Yekel Leiter discussing these victims
Speaker 1: and talking about his conversation with President Trump.
Speaker 3: The young man purchased a ring this week with the
Speaker 3: intention of proposing to his friend next week in Jerusalem.
Speaker 3: They were a beautiful couple who came to enjoy an
Speaker 3: evening in Washington's Cultural Center. On the way in this
Speaker 3: BONDI was kind enough to hand me on the phone,
Speaker 3: and the other line was the President of the United States,
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, who told me that his administration is going
Speaker 3: to do everything it can possibly do to fight and
Speaker 3: end anti Semitism and the hatred that's being directed the
Speaker 3: demonization and delegitimization of the state of Israel.
Speaker 1: Okay, Buck, you and I I don't think, sadly are surprised.
Speaker 1: I was just about getting ready to go to bed
Speaker 1: when the alert popped up on my phone late last night,
Speaker 1: a little bit after midnight, And to me it felt
Speaker 1: inevitable based on the way that the United States many
Speaker 1: people in the United States on the left in particular,
Speaker 1: but also there's people on the right who are anti Semitic.
Speaker 1: This is where I would say the left and right
Speaker 1: unfortunately sometimes have agreement, but it's far more pronounced, certainly
Speaker 1: on the left wing right now, anti anti Semitism is
Speaker 1: and this to me is a natural result of being
Speaker 1: unable to distinguish between good and evil such that you
Speaker 1: then engage in evil acts yourself because you believe you're
Speaker 1: doing something that is right and just. And this is
Speaker 1: the importance of being able to teach right and wrong.
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, the younger you are in this country, the
Speaker 1: more likely you are to buy into the idea that
Speaker 1: the Israeli state is the bad guy here.
Speaker 4: We recognize that. First of all, I just it's it's
Speaker 4: heartbreaking to see this. And I sit here and just
Speaker 4: say that murdering a beautiful couple like this in cold
Speaker 4: blood outside a social event, I don't know what could
Speaker 4: be more demonic senseless. And you know, it's interesting to
Speaker 4: me that the media, whenever there is a anything that
Speaker 4: they can say how somehow involves right wing ideology, they'll
Speaker 4: speak of something called and we've discussed it on the
Speaker 4: show stochastic terrorism. So numerically random terrorism is effectively what
Speaker 4: it is like, if you do this enough, if you
Speaker 4: spread this message enough, somebody will commit an active terrorism.
Speaker 4: They'll talk about that if they can say that this
Speaker 4: is somehow racist right wing ideology. Meanwhile, the left is
Speaker 4: soaked in anti Israel, anti Semitic hatred top to bottom,
Speaker 4: day in and day out, it's in the media, it's
Speaker 4: on campuses, they're safe harbor given and platform given to
Speaker 4: it in the Democrat Party. And we are just to
Speaker 4: think that this now happens in some kind of vacuum.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: This comes up, Clay when we have the discussions about
Speaker 4: they can't say that Trump is Hitler, but they oppose
Speaker 4: violence against Trump. That doesn't really make sense, does it.
Speaker 4: If you believe that Trump was Hitler, which is an
Speaker 4: insane person statement, but the Democrats have said at countless.
Speaker 6: Times as we know.
Speaker 4: But if you truly believed that, then you would want
Speaker 4: to do anything to remove that threat from the United States.
Speaker 4: And of course we saw that two people tried in
Speaker 4: the election cycle, and one put a bullet through Trump's ear.
Speaker 4: If you truly believe that there is a genocide going
Speaker 4: on in Gaza, first of all, you can't read or
Speaker 4: you can't process information, because this wouldn't be a long
Speaker 4: and drawn out war. If it was a genocide, Israel
Speaker 4: could just flatten all of Gaza in a matter of days,
Speaker 4: no offens or butts, and that would be the end
Speaker 4: of it. They could kill every man, women and child
Speaker 4: in Gaza if they chose to do so. The reason
Speaker 4: the war is taking so long as first and foremost,
Speaker 4: Gaza I mean Hamas and the Gazins refuse to release
Speaker 4: civilian hostages that were taken at the start of this
Speaker 4: war in the horrible October seventh terrorist massacre. So to me,
Speaker 4: there is such an inversion of morality that goes on here.
Speaker 4: And I point this out as well, Clay, because you
Speaker 4: know you said this yesterday. I've been advancing this point
Speaker 4: on the show as much as I can because I
Speaker 4: started out in Middle East studies in my life back
Speaker 4: in college working the Arab Israeli working on the Arab
Speaker 4: Israeli issue. My first ever real internship was for Dennis Ross,
Speaker 4: the US ambassador under Clinton for the Arab Israeli peace accords.
Speaker 2: So I've been.
Speaker 4: Following this for a very long time and I'm aware
Speaker 4: of a lot of the different dynamics. But in this
Speaker 4: country it has turned into a shrill left wing rallying
Speaker 4: cry absent facts and just full of hatred, and that
Speaker 4: results in things like we've seen on the campuses, which
Speaker 4: is which is completely disgusting, and then can even result
Speaker 4: in things like this. I would want to ask these
Speaker 4: individuals who are on the campuses. I want to ask
Speaker 4: the people who are always talking about the genocide and Gaza, where.
Speaker 6: Are they on the genocide?
Speaker 4: And I know it sounds like a what about isn't
Speaker 4: to some people they want to make that claim. Play
Speaker 4: where's the talk about the genocide going on in South Sudan?
Speaker 4: Or is it every Do they care about every human
Speaker 4: life and depression? Do they care about hospitals being bombed?
Speaker 6: How many of them even know.
Speaker 4: That the hospitals just bombed in South Sudan? They have
Speaker 4: no idea, They don't pay any attention because that is
Speaker 4: a fight among a lot of different ethnic groups, but
Speaker 4: Arab Muslims, Black Africans, there's no white people involved. And
Speaker 4: when there's no white people involved, even though four hundred
Speaker 4: thousand people have died, there have been mass rapes, there
Speaker 4: has been ethnic cleansing, I mean, the most horrific stuff imaginable.
Speaker 4: It's been going on for over a decade, I might add,
Speaker 4: And yet none of the people that are walking around
Speaker 4: with cafaas on talking about how every life matters and
Speaker 4: stop genocide, they don't know a damn thing about it.
Speaker 4: You know why, because they're costplaying as revolutionaries and they're
Speaker 4: just feeding in to this anti white narrative that they
Speaker 4: think somehow explains the Israel Hamas war. And that is
Speaker 4: how stupid they are, and that is how malevolent their
Speaker 4: ideology is, and it results in things like we saw
Speaker 4: last night.
Speaker 2: I think all that's very well said.
Speaker 1: I know there are maybe some people out there with kids'
Speaker 1: grandkids that don't get this. Let me give you two
Speaker 1: things that I think are very simple that you can
Speaker 1: share with them and ask them to think about. One
Speaker 1: is and I was over in December, and I don't
Speaker 1: remember who told me this, but I've heard it repeated since,
Speaker 1: but the first time I heard it was in Israel,
Speaker 1: and it is this. If Israel put down its weapons,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't exist tomorrow. If every other country in the
Speaker 1: Middle East that hates Israel put down its weapons, there
Speaker 1: would be peace in the Middle East.
Speaker 2: Israel is not the aggressor.
Speaker 1: Israel is trying to protect itself and of its foes
Speaker 1: want Israel, as you saw in October seventh waped. The
Speaker 1: Jewish people in Israel wiped off the face of the earth.
Speaker 1: That's what from the river to the sea means. So
Speaker 1: that's an easy one that I think is that everybody
Speaker 1: can grasp. And two is another analogy we have made,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a good one because people sometimes say, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: why do you care? How do you decide who's good
Speaker 1: who's bad. Well, I was there in all the kibbutz's
Speaker 1: where all the innocent people were murdered when Hamas decided
Speaker 1: to come into Israel and rape and pillage and murder
Speaker 1: across a wide expanse. But I want you to think
Speaker 1: about this when Biden had our southern border wide open,
Speaker 1: or even now, if somehow it were to occur, if
Speaker 1: a Mexican terror organization came across our southern border and
Speaker 1: killed twelve hundred Americans and kidnapped hundreds of them and
Speaker 1: went back into Mexico and claimed that they shouldn't be
Speaker 1: attacked because women and children might be harmed. What would
Speaker 1: we do to the part of Mexico that the terrorists
Speaker 1: were in? Fuck you right, say, Ia, what do you
Speaker 1: think we would do if they killed twelve hundred Americans
Speaker 1: went back across their border and had hundreds of hostages.
Speaker 4: Well, I joined the CIA because of nine to eleven,
Speaker 4: So we could even use a more direct historical analogy here.
Speaker 4: I think that October seventh was Israel's.
Speaker 2: Nine to eleven.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think very clearly, and as a matter
Speaker 4: of percentages, I think it might even be higher than
Speaker 4: nine to eleven. Oh, infinitely infinitely higher because the Israeli
Speaker 4: population is so much smaller. So when you factor this out,
Speaker 4: uh yeah, after nine to eleven, you know, I will add,
Speaker 4: by the way, there's actually a pretty good hunt for
Speaker 4: bin Laden on Netflix if anyone's curious to look for
Speaker 4: something that's it's pretty well done. My old friend Gary Burnson,
Speaker 4: who led the Jawbreaker team is on it. Mike Morell,
Speaker 4: whom I worked for in the CIA, who's a Lib
Speaker 4: and a Hillary. But you know, there's some people that
Speaker 4: were there doing the doing the work and they're pretty good.
Speaker 4: But Clay people, I think, I think sometimes leave this
Speaker 4: part out of our response. After nine eleven, we said
Speaker 4: to the Taliban, Okay, you guys have him, you hand
Speaker 4: him over or else.
Speaker 6: They chose or else. Yeah, we had no choice.
Speaker 4: There is no choice because the choice to not do
Speaker 4: anything would be the choice to let evil win. And
Speaker 4: Hama and Israel has the same choice after October seventh,
Speaker 4: and this is the you know, this is where I
Speaker 4: get very frustrated because there are people out there who
Speaker 4: think themselves clever because somehow the only thing they ever
Speaker 4: have a problem with is a response to terrorism. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's always the response isn't good enough. It's a little
Speaker 4: bit like arguing with somebody who's wrong and just says
Speaker 4: I don't like your tone. I don't like your tone. Well,
Speaker 4: how are we going to is it? Who's right is
Speaker 4: what matters? Okay, you can complain about my tone all day.
Speaker 4: And Hamas brought this war upon themselves. They could have
Speaker 4: ended this war after October seventh, for months and months
Speaker 4: and months, given the hostages back, and had an unconditional surrender.
Speaker 4: They chose not to do it. They don't just hold
Speaker 4: Israeli's hostage, they hold themselves hostage. That's the problem. They've
Speaker 4: decided we would rather light ourselves on fire as a
Speaker 4: people in Gaza than join civilization and stop this madness.
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal last weekend had a peace that I
Speaker 1: thought was important.
Speaker 2: I shared it.
Speaker 1: People say, why did Hamas do it? Well, certainly they're
Speaker 1: horrible anti Semites, right, they want Israel wiped off and
Speaker 1: the Jewish people wiped off the planet. But in particular
Speaker 1: the timing of October seventh seems to have been directly
Speaker 1: tied to fear that Saudi Arabia was going to normalize
Speaker 1: relations with Israel and that would lead to more peace
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, and they didn't want that to
Speaker 1: happen because they thought that would undercut their political posture.
Speaker 1: So the reason they say attacked on October seventh was
Speaker 1: they were trying to stop peace from spreading even more
Speaker 1: substantially in the Middle East. They're evil, and I think
Speaker 1: you saw the motivation and any of you out there
Speaker 1: with kids or grandkids walking around saying globalize the Intifada,
Speaker 1: I think that they are so poorly educated that they
Speaker 1: do not even understand how much of morons they truly are. Look,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk more about this. We're going to
Speaker 1: go to Israel and talk with Yel Extein, she works
Speaker 1: at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, about what
Speaker 1: the reaction is in Israel, which I'm sure is widely
Speaker 1: discussed and was crushing to so many people over there
Speaker 1: to hear that two young, innocent people who were soon
Speaker 1: to be engaged were murdered in cold blood for being Jewish.
Speaker 1: This is why you know, our friend Carol Mark w
Speaker 1: it'z tweeted that Jews need to go buy as many
Speaker 1: guns as they can. And she in particular, she's on
Speaker 1: a plane, or she'd be with us today. Maybe we
Speaker 1: can get her on tomorrow. But she, in particular, Buck
Speaker 1: you know this, went and taught herself how to fire
Speaker 1: a gun after October seventh, And there are a lot
Speaker 1: of women out there. In particular, I took.
Speaker 4: Her out and taught her how to fire guns. We
Speaker 4: took her out for a range days so that she
Speaker 4: knew how to defend herself.
Speaker 2: So many people are like this.
Speaker 1: I mean, I talked about when I was in Israel,
Speaker 1: I met a woman who's working with the IFCJ. Young
Speaker 1: mom walks around with a handgun on her hip everywhere
Speaker 1: she goes.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 1: She was in the hospital having just delivered a baby
Speaker 1: on October seventh, and her mom was killed on October seventh.
Speaker 1: Her brothers had to go rescue her, her husband who
Speaker 1: was holding the butcher knife right by the door to
Speaker 1: try to stab people if they came in to kill
Speaker 1: their infant children. I mean, this is the reality of
Speaker 1: what people in Israel deal with every day, and unfortunately,
Speaker 1: globalize the Ensafada has spread here. If you want to educate,
Speaker 1: you want people to learn more, trust me, just go
Speaker 1: to IFCJ dot org. You can learn. Click there so
Speaker 1: you can talk to the kids and grandkids in your family.
Speaker 1: Please just trust me. IFCJ dot org go learn what
Speaker 1: is going on, what Israel is having to deal with
Speaker 1: and trying to defend itself in its very existence. IFCJ
Speaker 1: dot org is that website, click arn tab IFDJ dot org.
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. We head
Speaker 1: up to Capitol Hill now to be joined by Senator
Speaker 1: Ran Paul of Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Senator.
Speaker 1: We saw the big beautiful bill pass by one vote
Speaker 1: in the House trom fifteen to two fourteen. I believe
Speaker 1: it is now onto the United States Senate. What happens
Speaker 1: there now? What should we know about, what the process
Speaker 1: is in the Senate? What you want to see?
Speaker 7: You know, there's some good and some bad to the bill.
Speaker 7: The good is the tax cuts. You know, I supported
Speaker 7: these in twenty seventeen. Some of them will be making
Speaker 7: permanent and some of them will be adding too. I'm
Speaker 7: very supportive of that. I'm supportive of spending cuts. I
Speaker 7: think the spending cuts are wimpy, anemic, and unfortunately won't
Speaker 7: do much to change the course of the country towards
Speaker 7: a more fiscal physically responsible path. The thing I really
Speaker 7: object to, though, and it prevents me from supporting it
Speaker 7: at this point, is that it adds either four or
Speaker 7: five trillion, depending on which version you look at to
Speaker 7: the debt ceiling. This will be an historic increase in
Speaker 7: the debt ceiling. We've never added this much at one time,
Speaker 7: and frankly, conservatives have never voted to these things. Typically
Speaker 7: they've been passed by Democrats and sort of the big
Speaker 7: government Republicans are forced to get together. I always called
Speaker 7: it a day of shame. They had to go down
Speaker 7: on the well and admit that there's a big spending
Speaker 7: plan to cause the debt to rise alarmingly. But now
Speaker 7: it's conservatives voting for it. And my fear is is
Speaker 7: that this will be the end of fiscal conservatism here
Speaker 7: and in the country, because there's very few I mean,
Speaker 7: there were one or two in the House that oppose
Speaker 7: this because the debt rose too much. Right now, it's
Speaker 7: just me in the Senate, and it's not because I
Speaker 7: opposed Donald Trump or not because I opposed that the
Speaker 7: tax cuts or any of the spending cuts, but I
Speaker 7: just don't think we should be the party that raises
Speaker 7: the debt ceiling five trillion dollars. You know, come come September,
Speaker 7: the deficit this is going to be about two point
Speaker 7: two trillion. That's all Republican now, because Republicans have voted
Speaker 7: for these spending levels, they're anticipating two point eight to
Speaker 7: three trillion next year. That's just not conservative. And somebody's
Speaker 7: got to be left in the country who will speak
Speaker 7: truth to power that we'll say basically we're supposed to
Speaker 7: be the Conservative party.
Speaker 4: Senator Paul, Are we at a point where we just
Speaker 4: need to be honest as a country that if there
Speaker 4: is no political will to change alter whatever somebody wants
Speaker 4: to say about it, social Security, Medicare, Medicaid maybe really
Speaker 4: just medicare in that equation, and defense spending is not
Speaker 4: going to get cut, if anything that's going to go up,
Speaker 4: We're not going to tackle the debt, right, I mean,
Speaker 4: is that mathematically what we are stuck with? Is there
Speaker 4: some other way? I just worry that this is you know,
Speaker 4: I remember when you came in on the Tea Party
Speaker 4: wave We've been talking about this issue for a long time.
Speaker 4: There's a bit of fatigue over guys. The debt bomb
Speaker 4: is ticking. The debt bomb is ticking, and everyone goes,
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, let's do something about it. You go, okay,
Speaker 4: maybe we need a reform in titlement. They go, you're
Speaker 4: out of office.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Well, you know, I've been pretty honest with it, you know,
Speaker 7: since I was elected. When I was running for the office,
Speaker 7: the first time, I said, so securities running out of money,
Speaker 7: says Medicare, and we're living longer. We're going to have
Speaker 7: to gradually raise the age of eligibility. And I would
Speaker 7: laughingly say, you know, people would say, do you hate
Speaker 7: old people? And I say, no, I aspire a vehicle person.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm on my way. I you know, I
Speaker 7: want to collect my Social Security, my Medicare, and so
Speaker 7: in order to save these systems, they have to be reformed.
Speaker 7: But when we take them off the table and we
Speaker 7: present deficits as big as the Biden deficits are bigger,
Speaker 7: we're just as guilty and we no longer can point
Speaker 7: to them as these are the Biden deficits or the
Speaker 7: Biden inflation that came from the deficits. We'll be looking
Speaker 7: in the mirror because we'll have the responsibility now. And
Speaker 7: I just I think there still needs to be a
Speaker 7: conservative resistance against big spending and against debt. And it
Speaker 7: is important. Interest rates about a trillion dollars and our
Speaker 7: interest payments about a trillion dollars a year. But interest
Speaker 7: rates are still edging up, you know, the interest rate
Speaker 7: to thirty years at five percent, So we are gradually
Speaker 7: turning over into a higher interest rate and it's going
Speaker 7: to crowd out all spending. At some point in time.
Speaker 7: The deficit for this year will equal to budget. Congress
Speaker 7: votes on a discretionary budget of about one point eight
Speaker 7: to two trillion dollars. That's equal to the deficit, which
Speaker 7: means one hundred percent of the budget we vote on
Speaker 7: will be borrowed this year. So this should not be
Speaker 7: about allegiance to Donald Trump. I like the president. I
Speaker 7: voted for him, I support him, and I'm with him
Speaker 7: on so many things, his cabinet, Mahab movement, all that stuff.
Speaker 7: But it doesn't mean we should quit being physically conservative
Speaker 7: and asking the difficult questions about are we full big debt?
Speaker 7: Are we not for it we are we different than
Speaker 7: the Democrats when it comes to deficit spending, and right
Speaker 7: now we're looking kind of like the Democrats as far
Speaker 7: as a result.
Speaker 1: We're talking to Center A Ram Paul. I want to
Speaker 1: build on what Buck said, because I do. It's interesting
Speaker 1: the Tea Party movement started. You can correct me if
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, because I may be a little bit off,
Speaker 1: but I think I'm right. When under Obama the national
Speaker 1: debt approached ten trillion. Since that time, we have nearly
Speaker 1: quadrupled the national debt because it's rapidly approaching forty trillion,
Speaker 1: and as you just laid out, you know we're headed
Speaker 1: for fifty trillion, sixty trillion, And it just feels like
Speaker 1: Buck and I talk about this sometimes on the program
Speaker 1: because we see the responses when we bring it up.
Speaker 1: You say, hey, this is unsustainable. People say, well, you
Speaker 1: should just cut cost. The problem is if you look
Speaker 1: at the basic math of what medicare cost of, what
Speaker 1: Social security costs, what the debt costs, and I don't
Speaker 1: think most people want to replace national defense, even though
Speaker 1: now we're spending more money servicing the debt on interest
Speaker 1: than we are in national defense. That eliminates about eighty
Speaker 1: six percent ish of the overall budget. Even if you
Speaker 1: cut every other part of the budget, you're still going to,
Speaker 1: as you just laid out, end up in a deficits situation.
Speaker 1: To me, the only possible solution is you have to
Speaker 1: address entitlement spending in a significant way.
Speaker 2: And you know this better than anybody.
Speaker 1: It seems like ninety five percent of politicians just say, hey,
Speaker 1: I got to get elected in two years, Hey I
Speaker 1: got to get elected in four years, six years, whatever
Speaker 1: it is, we'll just kick the can down the road
Speaker 1: and pretend that the looming debt crisis doesn't actually exist.
Speaker 7: Well, you know, one of the reasons we've put forward
Speaker 7: the Penny Plan budget to balance the budget is to
Speaker 7: illustrate that it can be done, and it can be
Speaker 7: done by cutting only a few percentage points. But you
Speaker 7: have to cut a few percentage points of everything. So
Speaker 7: when I started proposing this ten years ago, spending wasn't
Speaker 7: nearly as bad, but it was it was headed in
Speaker 7: the wrong direction. Ten years ago, you could free spending,
Speaker 7: just don't increase spending. Spend the same amount each year
Speaker 7: for five years, and the budget wo balance. Then a
Speaker 7: couple of years later we called it the penny plan.
Speaker 7: You had to cut one percent across the board of
Speaker 7: everything on budget to balance the budget, to balance the
Speaker 7: annual budget. They became the two penny plan. Then COVID
Speaker 7: hit and it became the sixpenny plan. And so that's
Speaker 7: about where we are right now. You'd have to cut
Speaker 7: a six percent across the board. But I tell people,
Speaker 7: look at it this way. If you still had ninety
Speaker 7: four percent. Let's say your big deal is your brother
Speaker 7: and grandmother had Alzheimer's disease. You want the government to
Speaker 7: do research. So they come into me. They all wear
Speaker 7: purple ribbons, and I have great deal of sympathy. I
Speaker 7: have family members who have had and I say to them, well,
Speaker 7: you know, we're short of money, and you got one
Speaker 7: hundred million last year, could you live with ninety four
Speaker 7: million this year? And every one of them they're tearful
Speaker 7: thinking about their loved ones. They're talking about something very
Speaker 7: personal to them. And they look at me and they say, well, sure,
Speaker 7: if the country is short of money, we could do
Speaker 7: with ninety four million. And see that would be the
Speaker 7: same truth of everybody. Everybody would just have to deal
Speaker 7: with ninety four dollars out of one hundred, and it
Speaker 7: would be less about eliminating anything to anyone but cutting
Speaker 7: everybody you're six percent and just saying we've got to
Speaker 7: do it. You do it for a couple of years,
Speaker 7: we balance, the country begins to grow, receipts grow again,
Speaker 7: and actually government's meaning could gradually go up after a while.
Speaker 7: But I don't know. I'm not afraid to do it,
Speaker 7: and I don't know that I'm any less popular than
Speaker 7: I was when I ran. You know, I got sixty
Speaker 7: two percent of the vote last time in a state
Speaker 7: that has the significant population that's dependent on government, and
Speaker 7: I have great sympathy for them, and I want them
Speaker 7: all to do better. And I say, I don't want
Speaker 7: to cut you off Medicaid. I want to get you
Speaker 7: private health insurance with the private job and better payment.
Speaker 7: And so I don't know. I think people do understand it.
Speaker 7: If you're sincere. I think a lot of the people
Speaker 7: that are Weasily and Waffley and never really commit one
Speaker 7: way or the other and then go home and tell
Speaker 7: everybody there for a balanced budget. This is the problem
Speaker 7: with Republicans. It's going to they're going to lose face,
Speaker 7: and they're going to lose any semblance of sincerity because
Speaker 7: they're going to go home to the Chamber of Commerce
Speaker 7: and to the roadary and talk about balanced budgets next
Speaker 7: year or this summer. And yet the deficit's going to
Speaker 7: be two point two trillion, and all of it is
Speaker 7: responsible to Republicans. Now, this is no longer the Biden deficit.
Speaker 7: This will be the Gop deficit. And in the next
Speaker 7: two years are going to borrow five trillion dollars. Somebody's
Speaker 7: got to stand up and shout no.
Speaker 4: Well, Senator Paul, at least down the line, if this
Speaker 4: doesn't stop, you'll be able to look at all of
Speaker 4: us when we're facing a true financial crisis and say,
Speaker 4: I did tell you guys this is coming. So I
Speaker 4: know that that will be cold comfort, but you're very
Speaker 4: much on the record with this one.
Speaker 2: I worry that American.
Speaker 4: Politics have unfortunately gotten on this unstoppable amusement park ride
Speaker 4: and we're going to run out of track. But anyway,
Speaker 4: I also want to ask you something, well, actually, no,
Speaker 4: this is very serious too. I was gonna say, go
Speaker 4: to a lighter direction, but no, not really. What you're
Speaker 4: finding about, or what we're all finding out about. Really
Speaker 4: the new version of how the Democrats viewed Biden during
Speaker 4: the election, this book that's come out, all of this stuff.
Speaker 4: Where do you come I mean, as a doctor as
Speaker 4: well as somebody who's in politics at a high level.
Speaker 6: I mean, nobody's really supposed to believe that your.
Speaker 4: Democrat colleagues in the Senate didn't know Biden wasn't all
Speaker 4: there right or what?
Speaker 7: No, this is really shocking. You're going to discover. Can
Speaker 7: you believe it that Biden was actually mentally impaired and
Speaker 7: no one knew about it until Pepper wrote his book.
Speaker 7: This is just shocking. I mean, what great reporting Tapper
Speaker 7: has revealed that President Biden was missing a step or two. No,
Speaker 7: I mean everybody saw it from miles away. The shuffling gate,
Speaker 7: the absence stare, the you know, looking one way, looking
Speaker 7: for people, never really certain of where he was, and
Speaker 7: then the rambling incoherent sentences, so you know, and if
Speaker 7: it were just someone you knew, you'd feel sorry for them.
Speaker 7: But if it were my loved one, I would be
Speaker 7: mad at the family for putting something like that out.
Speaker 7: I think actually one of the most insulting things was
Speaker 7: Jimmy Carter's family as Jimmy Carter was dying and really
Speaker 7: not conscious. They rolled him out for display of the
Speaker 7: cameras after having just voted, and you know, it's a
Speaker 7: sad time. Look, Jimmy Carter wasn't a great president. It
Speaker 7: was a great humanitarian, I think, and not a bad
Speaker 7: person after the presidency. He should have been remembered for that,
Speaker 7: and instead, I can't shake the image of you know,
Speaker 7: his mouth open, unconscious and his idiot family parading him
Speaker 7: out there in front of cameras to stay just voted.
Speaker 7: You know, that's kind of what they did to Biden
Speaker 7: for four years. And it would have been much better,
Speaker 7: and you know, he could have been remembered, you know,
Speaker 7: I guess at least just for being a crook, you know,
Speaker 7: as a vice president, instead of you know, being a
Speaker 7: bumbling president.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that they found out on Friday that
Speaker 1: he had stage four cancer?
Speaker 7: You know maybe? And I don't really fault people as
Speaker 7: much for this. If you've looked into cross state cancer,
Speaker 7: and a lot of men have looked into the pros
Speaker 7: and cons of the blood testing, it really has evolved
Speaker 7: and changed a lot. So they used to have everybody
Speaker 7: at forty start taking a PSA. But then they started
Speaker 7: finding elevated PSAs and people having a prostage remood, which
Speaker 7: is not a benign receiver procedure, and it's sort of
Speaker 7: unclear whether they were early cancers that might have stayed
Speaker 7: hidden for dozens of years, and so the numbers of
Speaker 7: surgeries of skyrocketed, and then they decided after seventy you're
Speaker 7: more likely to die from something else. They they don't
Speaker 7: take the PSA at all, and so it's weird because
Speaker 7: we all have this mortality and were like, I'm seventy one,
Speaker 7: feel pretty healthy. I think I should get a PSA.
Speaker 7: Or I'm eighty two and feel healthy. Maybe I'll get
Speaker 7: a PSA, or maybe I'll just roll the dice. I'm
Speaker 7: getting older, I'm going to die from something. So these
Speaker 7: are they're difficult and personal decisions. So I don't foulot
Speaker 7: him for any of that. And I think there is
Speaker 7: a chance he did know they said he got a
Speaker 7: PSA that was probably normal back when he was seventy one,
Speaker 7: and it's a slow going cancer and there's you know,
Speaker 7: he's eighty two or eighty three, and you know the
Speaker 7: downside to the surgeries are a lot of different side
Speaker 7: effects from the surgery is not a perfect surgery by
Speaker 7: any means, and so I don't know. I guess I
Speaker 7: don't fault him because I think the decision making process
Speaker 7: a very personal one that a lot of men are
Speaker 7: having to go through, and really it's not an easy
Speaker 7: one because it's not I can.
Speaker 4: I ask you really quickly about doctor pauls or Senator Paul.
Speaker 4: Doctor Paul my own father, by the way, I had
Speaker 4: had to go through this, so a lot of us listening,
Speaker 4: it's very it's very personal and exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: But why is this happening to so many? This is
Speaker 4: we're not a point where men are being told something
Speaker 4: like what seventy percent or eighty percent of them will
Speaker 4: have some form of prostate cancer.
Speaker 2: This can't be normal.
Speaker 6: Do you have any any working theory as to what's
Speaker 6: going on?
Speaker 7: It? Actually, it actually is kind of normal. They've done
Speaker 7: a natural study of the natural course of the disease.
Speaker 7: And when they do autopsies of men in their seventies
Speaker 7: who die for other reasons, you just die, and they
Speaker 7: take one hundred people who died and they look at
Speaker 7: the prostates, it is like seventy percent of them have
Speaker 7: cancer in the prostate, but never had any symptoms that
Speaker 7: didn't spread awhere in their body, and they died from
Speaker 7: something else. That's why it's a difficult decision. If it
Speaker 7: were just a breast biopsy or a lumpectomy that they
Speaker 7: did to the prostate, have to worry about all the
Speaker 7: other possible problems, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
Speaker 7: But since the surgery is a pretty dramatic thing, you
Speaker 7: obviously don't want to do the surgery on people who
Speaker 7: don't need to have it yet.
Speaker 4: So hundred years ago, we think as many men were
Speaker 4: having this issue as today. I'm asking honestly, I have
Speaker 4: no idea.
Speaker 7: Yeah, probably, but one hundred years ago, you know, the
Speaker 7: average life expectancy was forty five, and so as we
Speaker 7: live longer, there's going to be a lot more people
Speaker 7: with it. But it's even worse than that. They apparently
Speaker 7: have done autopsy studies of men who die in their twenties,
Speaker 7: and I've seen at least one report saying eight percent
Speaker 7: of men in their twenties already have a form of
Speaker 7: prostate cancer. So that makes you wonder if it's more
Speaker 7: hyperplasia or something that's not quite cancer that maybe our
Speaker 7: grading system needs to be better refined to figure out
Speaker 7: when we need to do surgery and when we don't.
Speaker 7: So it is a complicated subject. I guess it. Don't
Speaker 7: follow him for it because look, he's eighty two and
Speaker 7: he's had twelve years without having to deal with any
Speaker 7: of the symptoms of having the surgery. And I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't know what would have been better, and nobody really,
Speaker 7: I don't know. There's a lot of if ns or
Speaker 7: butts about how to make the decision. The guy that
Speaker 7: invented the PSA was a test with a chairman of
Speaker 7: the department at Stanford for many years, and he finally
Speaker 7: came to conclusion at the end that PSA is also
Speaker 7: related to a benign enlargement of the prostate as well
Speaker 7: as cancer. And it's difficult to distinguish because men's prostate
Speaker 7: gets bigger over time, and that's why most older men
Speaker 7: have trouble with urinary symptoms. But it's not all cancer.
Speaker 7: A lot of it's benign. And because the surgeries of all,
Speaker 7: you got to decide do I want to do you know,
Speaker 7: do I want to watch it? Do I want to
Speaker 7: do surgery? And it's a difficult decision for a lot
Speaker 7: of men.
Speaker 4: Senator Paul, Doctor Paul wearing both ats today for us,
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for coming on the show, sir,
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 6: This is nine to eleven.
Speaker 4: The Tunnel the Towers Foundation has been supporting America's greatest
Speaker 4: heroes and their families. Here is like Mark Hulbert. Mark
Speaker 4: was born into a military family. His father served for
Speaker 4: twenty five years and his grandfather fought in World War Two.
Speaker 4: Mark turned his childhood dream of irving into reality when
Speaker 4: he enlisted in the United States Army. He served multiple tours,
Speaker 4: including three in Afghanistan. On his fourth tour, he stepped
Speaker 4: on ied, losing both of his legs. The Tunnel the
Speaker 4: Towers Foundation provided Mark and his family with a mortgage
Speaker 4: free smart home, which enables Mark to live more independently.
Speaker 4: Mark and so many others have paid a high price
Speaker 4: to protect our country and communities. Friends like you have
Speaker 4: helped to say thank you to Mark and so many others,
Speaker 4: not just with words but actions. Please help more of
Speaker 4: America's heroes by supporting Tunnel to Towers. Donated eleven dollars
Speaker 4: a month. The Tunnel the Towers at T two t
Speaker 4: dot org that's t the number two T dot org.
Speaker 6: Hi, welcome back into clay Enboch.
Speaker 4: We told you about this horrific assassination that occurred last
Speaker 4: night at the Jewish Museum in Washington, d C. And
Speaker 4: a young Jewish couple soon to be engaged gunned down
Speaker 4: in cold blood, and the assassin, the alleged murderer, shouting free,
Speaker 4: free Palestine. So I think we all know exactly what
Speaker 4: was going on here. Notice the Trump administration not playing
Speaker 4: the We may never know the real motive games that
Speaker 4: the FBI or anything, we understand why this atrocity was committed.
Speaker 4: We want to talk to our friend Yile Exstein. Now
Speaker 4: she's a president and CEO of the International Fellowship of
Speaker 4: Christians and Jews. Yaiel are the condolences from this audience
Speaker 4: go out to the families of those killed in this
Speaker 4: horrible uh, this horrible active of violence, and also our
Speaker 4: solidarity goes out to our brothers and sisters in Israel.
Speaker 4: My understanding is the Trump administration has immediately reached out
Speaker 4: and there's already discussions between the two nations to express
Speaker 4: those condolences.
Speaker 5: It is so comforting for all of us here in
Speaker 5: Israel to hear the condolences, but even more than that,
Speaker 5: maybe to feel the love and the prayers and the
Speaker 5: support and the unity. You know, I think what this
Speaker 5: killing represents is everything that the evil is trying to destroy.
Speaker 5: It represents America and Israel, ere Jews and Christians. It
Speaker 5: represents are shared values of striving for life and brotherhood.
Speaker 5: They were actually going to get engaged next week in Jerusalem,
Speaker 5: and they were both part of groups that worked on
Speaker 5: helping Israelis and Arabs to work together in the high
Speaker 5: tech sector and find common values. And so to hear
Speaker 5: those words of condolences right away, to feel the prayers,
Speaker 5: to see the support that millions of Americans are showing
Speaker 5: against this attack is something that what I believe, it's
Speaker 5: the silenced majority that's speaking loud.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When I was over with you and the IFCJ and Israel,
Speaker 1: I'm a nerd when it comes to newspapers. I want
Speaker 1: to read all the newspapers that I can, and so
Speaker 1: the English language newspapers that I was reading, I was
Speaker 1: kind of amazed how much coverage there was of the
Speaker 1: college campus protests in Israel and how much that impacted
Speaker 1: people in Israel. To see that, to see the videos
Speaker 1: and obviously to be reading about it. I don't know
Speaker 1: that this audience is as aware of that coverage and
Speaker 1: how it impacts people in Israel. When people at the
Speaker 1: University of Michigan or UCLA or Columbia or whatever school
Speaker 1: my alma mater, George Washington University are protesting, but those
Speaker 1: kids are globalizing the intafada. That is one of the chants.
Speaker 1: Free free pales nine is another one of the chants.
Speaker 1: Isn't this in your mind and in the mind of
Speaker 1: many people in Israel and natural outgrowth over what those
Speaker 1: kids were saying on those campuses.
Speaker 5: Oh well, one hundred percent spot on. This is what
Speaker 5: it means to globalize antisada. I've lived in Israel through
Speaker 5: antipadas where there are suicide bombers that are blowing up
Speaker 5: buses and coffee shops every single day, when there are
Speaker 5: even teenagers who are sent to stab random civilians and
Speaker 5: Israel that's what dnisada is. And when you say globalized antisada,
Speaker 5: that this is exactly what it looks like on the
Speaker 5: streets of Washington, d C. Gunning down to innocent people
Speaker 5: simply because they represented Israel. And it's so important for
Speaker 5: you to bring up these college protests because what they
Speaker 5: represent us here in Israel. I'm the daughter in law
Speaker 5: and granddaughter of two Holocaust survivors. All of my father
Speaker 5: in law and my grandfather's family were killed in the Holocaust,
Speaker 5: and we were raised on these stories of how it
Speaker 5: started by looking at Jews as different. By suddenly Jews
Speaker 5: aren't allowed to go and study on certain college campuses.
Speaker 5: Suddenly they're not allowed to enter certain areas. And so
Speaker 5: what those college protests represent when we see Jews not
Speaker 5: able to get into certain public areas of college campuses,
Speaker 5: or to get into buildings on college campuses that they're
Speaker 5: paying tuition and they should be able to go there,
Speaker 5: but they can't because they're Jewish. This is getting so
Speaker 5: much coverage in Israel because it's so familiar. This isn't
Speaker 5: something that's new. Anti Semitism is the oldest hatred. It's
Speaker 5: as old as the Jewish people. We saw it with
Speaker 5: Amalik in the scriptures, we saw it with wicked Hayman,
Speaker 5: we thought with the Nazis, and today we're seeing it
Speaker 5: not only with Islamic extremists, but people who are educated.
Speaker 5: We see who are raised in Chicago, this shooter today,
Speaker 5: somebody who had an education, who you wouldn't profile as
Speaker 5: an Islamic extremist from Iraq or Afghanistan or someone else.
Speaker 5: This is an American who did this. And you see
Speaker 5: that this hatred is seeping into American culture, which for
Speaker 5: me is the most terrifying. You know, I was just
Speaker 5: on the border with Syria where the International Fellowship of
Speaker 5: Christians and Jews provided food and medical aid to Christians
Speaker 5: being persecuted in Syria. And what I see is that
Speaker 5: this isn't isolated to the Jewish people, is not isolated
Speaker 5: to Israel. It's a hatred against God himself. And that's
Speaker 5: why they're targeting Jews and Christians because actually, from what
Speaker 5: I understand, yer N, one of the victims of the
Speaker 5: shooting today, he actually identified as a Messianic Jew. He
Speaker 5: was half Christian. This is all of our wars, this
Speaker 5: is all of our darkness, this is all of our threats,
Speaker 5: and I think the only answer is to come together
Speaker 5: in love, to love one another, to help one another,
Speaker 5: to stand in solidarity against this darkness. It's the only
Speaker 5: way to stab us Kile.
Speaker 4: We know, and we've talked about it here many times
Speaker 4: on the show that, unfortunately, the Democrat Party is far
Speaker 4: too tolerant of the intolerance and the anti Semitism that
Speaker 4: exists as a portion. I have Jewish friends who vote Democrat.
Speaker 4: I understand this is not the entire Democrat Party base,
Speaker 4: but there is a portion of the Democrat Party that
Speaker 4: is truly anti Semitic, and the party, I would argue overall,
Speaker 4: is far too tolerant of that. Do you see that
Speaker 4: changing at all as things as incidents like this happen.
Speaker 4: Do you see Democrat leadership starting to speak with more
Speaker 4: moral clarity or do you think think that they are
Speaker 4: unfortunately held hostage by the anti Semitic, anti Semitic members
Speaker 4: in their midst.
Speaker 5: It was so incredible and comforting to see the President
Speaker 5: of America, President Trump, immediately call out this attack as
Speaker 5: anti semitism and call it wrong. This is something that
Speaker 5: should be the basis for anyone. I saw some people
Speaker 5: from the Senate, from the American government representing America who
Speaker 5: avoided questions on if this was wrong, if this was bad,
Speaker 5: if this is anti Semitic. To have the President of
Speaker 5: America stand up and quickly denounce what happened and say
Speaker 5: that he stands with the Jewish community and recognizes that
Speaker 5: this is anti Semitism in its most evil form. It's
Speaker 5: something that's sobering, and unfortunately we're not seeing enough of
Speaker 5: what's terrifying to me is that we're seeing this hatred
Speaker 5: against Jews, Papa everywhere. You see it on the right,
Speaker 5: you see it on the left. But what's so encouraging
Speaker 5: to me is that in facing this hatred that no
Speaker 5: longer disguises itself, no longer pretends to be tolerant, calls
Speaker 5: out hating Jews, hating Christians. I think that we've seen
Speaker 5: the silenced majority speak up louder than ever. I see
Speaker 5: this in my work with the International Fellowship of Christians
Speaker 5: and Jews. We have more people writing to us, donating,
Speaker 5: taking an active stand in face of this hatred, both
Speaker 5: on the right and the left, to say that doesn't
Speaker 5: represent me. I stand for these Judeo Christian values that
Speaker 5: we need to stand unified with. I stand with God,
Speaker 5: I stand with God's word, I stand with God's people.
Speaker 5: And if, oh if Jews and Christians are separated, if
Speaker 5: we're able to let hatred and division when we are
Speaker 5: both facing the same we're both facing the same darkness
Speaker 5: and so I think we have to stand up against
Speaker 5: hatred on the right on the left, and we have
Speaker 5: to do exactly what President Trump did today, which is
Speaker 5: call evil evil, called darkness darkness, and learn from the
Speaker 5: warning of Isaiah from thousands of years ago, and he said,
Speaker 5: at the end of day's light will be called dark
Speaker 5: and good will be called bad, and we have to
Speaker 5: be careful for that. What we thought today from President
Speaker 5: Trump was him calling bad bad, calling darkness darkness, and
Speaker 5: that's something we all have to learn from and not
Speaker 5: be afraid to say out loud.
Speaker 1: There are many things that people say about President Trump
Speaker 1: that are certainly untrue. You're talking to us from Israel
Speaker 1: right now. Israel, if it were a United State and
Speaker 1: able to vote in the presidential election, would have voted
Speaker 1: massively for Donald Trump, similar to the margins based on
Speaker 1: the data that I've seen that West Virginia or Wyoming
Speaker 1: did among the trumpiest of Trump's states. What do people
Speaker 1: in Israel think when Trump is called Hitler?
Speaker 5: Well, I think we all know in Israel's firsthand what
Speaker 5: Hitler did. He built concentration camps, he burned bodies in
Speaker 5: the mass. My daughter just got back from Poland where
Speaker 5: she was walking through Auschwitz, where her grandfather's family were burned,
Speaker 5: his siblings, his grandparents, six million Jews that were murdered
Speaker 5: in the Holocaust. For the Holocaust, the global Jewish population
Speaker 5: was around twenty six million Jews. Still today we haven't
Speaker 5: reached that number. We still haven't reached the numbers of
Speaker 5: Jews around the world as there was before the Holocaust.
Speaker 5: And so I think to call any democratic leader today
Speaker 5: that isn't targeting and killing and setting up concentration camps
Speaker 5: to even you as their name and the same sentence
Speaker 5: as Hitler is not only offensive, it's dangerous because if
Speaker 5: we don't learn from the mistake of the past, they
Speaker 5: are maybe inevitably going to repeat themselves. God forbid. And
Speaker 5: that's what we're seeing today when people are standing up
Speaker 5: for Hamas, standing up for terrorists trying to trying to
Speaker 5: support the yemen Huti terrorists who call death for Israel,
Speaker 5: death for America as their slogan, and you see across
Speaker 5: America that there are students that are supporting and calling
Speaker 5: heroes the terrorists that want to destroy them. It's something
Speaker 5: that we haven't learned from history. And then God forbid,
Speaker 5: it could repeat itself. And so across the Middle East,
Speaker 5: you know, in Islamic Muslim countries that are more moderate,
Speaker 5: like Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Morocco, it
Speaker 5: is illegal to waive a Palestinian flag because that Pealsdinian
Speaker 5: flag doesn't represent Palestinian people, it represents Hamas, it represents
Speaker 5: the terror body that's leading them right now. And so
Speaker 5: across the moderate Muslim world, you're not allowed to have
Speaker 5: a preacher of Emam a mosque that's praising Famus or
Speaker 5: the Palestinian leadership. You'll literally go to jail.
Speaker 8: And so what.
Speaker 5: Happened They all less use moderate Islamic countries and went
Speaker 5: to America and set up their mosques in America and
Speaker 5: are doing their rallies with their Palestinian flags, praising from
Speaker 5: US in America. And it's not only staying now with
Speaker 5: the Islamic extremists, it's actually infiltrating into the brains and
Speaker 5: lives and icy actions of young Americans, young Americans that
Speaker 5: are now standing in solidarity with terrorists. If we don't
Speaker 5: wake up immediately in the West, that will take over
Speaker 5: everyone who now thinks that we don't need to give
Speaker 5: it any attention, and we don't need to take a stand.
Speaker 1: I think this is important as we go away, and
Speaker 1: thank you for calling in from Israel. There aren't very
Speaker 1: many countries in the Middle East where a gay or
Speaker 1: a transperson could live with freedom. Israel is in fact
Speaker 1: the only one. And so when you hear people on
Speaker 1: the left somehow siding with Hamas or the idea of
Speaker 1: anti Israel, it really is a cognitive dissonance that's even
Speaker 1: difficult to comprehend. I really wish people could come visit
Speaker 1: and see. But yeah, I think that's important, and thank
Speaker 1: you for joining.
Speaker 5: Us, Thank you so much. And I think it's so
Speaker 5: important to remember that the Palestinian people are being oppressed
Speaker 5: and held hostage by Hamas, which is a terror group
Speaker 5: where women have to wear hey jobs. There's no freedom,
Speaker 5: there's no freedom to vote, there hasn't been elections and
Speaker 5: over ten years, there's no right for people to voice
Speaker 5: any criticism of the government. And if they have anything
Speaker 5: against a person, they could just kill them without any
Speaker 5: sort of trial or any sort of legal document. And
Speaker 5: so when we have terror groups that are ruling the
Speaker 5: Palestinian people, I think when we say free Daza, they're
Speaker 5: missing two words from hamas the sooner this terror group goes,
Speaker 5: the sooner the Palestinian people will be able to be free.
Speaker 2: Amen.
Speaker 1: Thank you, yell Exstein from Israel giving us the latest
Speaker 1: from there and also reacting to the awful event in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C.
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: A week and a half ago, President Trump declared prescription
Speaker 1: drug prices are going to come down? How will he
Speaker 1: do it by entering a deal with pharmaceutical companies wanting
Speaker 1: to sell prescription medicine that guarantees will have low prices
Speaker 1: in the country like it exists in other countries. That's
Speaker 1: much needed and it's a smart strategy. It's also another
Speaker 1: reason why healthcare has been so expensive, especially for those.
Speaker 2: Relying on Obamacare.
Speaker 1: Until we see those lowered prices, you should look for
Speaker 1: better health insurance options out there. And one of those
Speaker 1: newer options is called Ease for Everyone. Compared to Obama Care,
Speaker 1: Ease for Everyone comes with a monthly cost as low
Speaker 1: as two hundred sixty two dollars. You get access to
Speaker 1: over four hundred prescription drugs for free, not just at
Speaker 1: a lower cost, no cost zero dollars, and unlike the
Speaker 1: broken promise of Obamacare. You actually get to keep your doctor.
Speaker 1: Plus you get free unlimited virtual primary care. You can
Speaker 1: have affordable healthcare for as low as two hundred sixty
Speaker 1: two dollars a month. Today, go online to Ease for
Speaker 1: Everyone dot com slash clay and join today. That's Ease
Speaker 1: for Everyone dot com slash Clay. Ease for Everyone dot
Speaker 1: com slash Clay. Welcome back in Clay, Travis Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Appreciate all of you hanging out with us. Flowing through
Speaker 1: the Thursday edition of the program. We're joined now by
Speaker 1: the Bluegrass States own Daniel Cameron, running for the Senate
Speaker 1: seat to be vacated by Mitch McConnell next year. And Uh,
Speaker 1: first of all, I'll start with this. We have not
Speaker 1: talked about it a great deal, but I know the
Speaker 1: state of Kentucky along with Missouri, was slammed by tornadoes
Speaker 1: over the last several days and over the last week.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that has been a major part of what
Speaker 1: you have been seeing and talking about in the state.
Speaker 1: How are people doing so far as you can tell us, Daniel.
Speaker 8: Well, Clay Buck, thank you guys for having us on.
Speaker 8: Ye it's I mean heartbreaking to see the lives lost
Speaker 8: in parts of our community, particularly in the Summerset and
Speaker 8: London community, Pulaski and Laurel County. It was obviously just
Speaker 8: completely heartbreaking to lose folks and the devastation that occurred.
Speaker 8: We've been encouraging people to help out the London Police Department.
Speaker 8: They're collecting goods. I've also encouraged people to go to
Speaker 8: Samaritan's Purse and American rep Cross, so there are a
Speaker 8: few different outlets in Obviously the communities, local churches really
Speaker 8: vital to helping rebuild and getting folks back on their
Speaker 8: feat but it's going to be a long process. In fact,
Speaker 8: I'll be down there on Saturday to visit with some folks.
Speaker 8: But yeah, thanks for bringing that up, because I know
Speaker 8: folks all across the country have been praying for those
Speaker 8: communities in particular. You know, we had storms all across
Speaker 8: the state that those communities in particular were hitting really hard.
Speaker 8: So thank you for bringing that up. And yeah, if
Speaker 8: anybody wants to give too, I mean again, the Samaritans Purse,
Speaker 8: American Red Cross, local churches down in those areas certainly
Speaker 8: would be grateful.
Speaker 1: I know it's early and the election is not until
Speaker 1: next year. That is the Republican primary to set up
Speaker 1: who's going to be running to replace Mitch McConnell on
Speaker 1: that side. But what does the focus seem to be
Speaker 1: to you so far as you travel the state of
Speaker 1: Kentucky and hear from people about the issues care about
Speaker 1: the most.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Clay, I mean, I think people want a senator
Speaker 8: from Kentucky that is going to stand with President Trump
Speaker 8: and help support an agenda that is about building back, building,
Speaker 8: back up our mental class and the working men and
Speaker 8: women of this country. President Trump campaigned on that. That's
Speaker 8: what this big, Beautiful Bill is about, is making sure
Speaker 8: that we can lower people's taxes so they have more
Speaker 8: money in their pockets. This is an administration that is
Speaker 8: about securing our border, fighting the drug epidemic. It's about
Speaker 8: creating energy independence in this country. That's a big deal.
Speaker 8: In Kentucky, we are a commonwealth that to the extent
Speaker 8: we have a competitive advantage. It's about our fossil fuels industry.
Speaker 8: It's coal and natural gas, and having a president in
Speaker 8: the White House that recognizes that in order to have
Speaker 8: energy independence, we have to have and prioritize our fossil fuels.
Speaker 8: That's a big deal. And so Kentuckians want a senator
Speaker 8: that's going to stand up for their values, fight for
Speaker 8: the Trump agenda. And I'm going to do that and
Speaker 8: I've got a track record of having done that as
Speaker 8: Attorney General. You know there will be people that jump
Speaker 8: into this race, but what you will never hear somebody
Speaker 8: say is that there's going to be somebody that's more
Speaker 8: conservative and more supportive of the Trump administration than Daniel Cameron,
Speaker 8: because there's not going to be. I've shown it with
Speaker 8: my record, and I'm led by conviction. I mean, right now,
Speaker 8: in my current day job, I'm fighting diversity, equity inclusion,
Speaker 8: I'm fighting against ESG because these are convictions. These are
Speaker 8: core convictions for me, and I want to take that
Speaker 8: spirit and that energy to the United States Senate and
Speaker 8: fight on behalf of Kentuckian's and that's why I'm going
Speaker 8: to win. Come. You're right, we're about a little less
Speaker 8: than a year away from the May primary. But I'm
Speaker 8: in a strong position given all the polling right now.
Speaker 8: I think the most recent poll have me up thirty
Speaker 8: points to my next closest competitor. We're going to win
Speaker 8: this primary, and we're going to win the all as well.
Speaker 8: And I want as many people to get on board
Speaker 8: as they possibly can. I mean, I tell people all
Speaker 8: the time, go to Cameron for Kentucky dot com check
Speaker 8: us out. Certainly would be grateful for the help and support.
Speaker 1: When you ran against Andy Basheer in the in the
Speaker 1: governor's race. It seems like Andy Basheer is going to
Speaker 1: try to run for President of the United States in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. And I know you're running for the Senate.
Speaker 1: But when you look around at the candidates that the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party is putting forward. We talk a lot on
Speaker 1: this program about how young men, black, white, Asian Hispanic
Speaker 1: are breaking away from the Democrat Party. And you know,
Speaker 1: I really say, men, you know, younger than the age
Speaker 1: of forty five, for instance, certainly eighteen to twenty four
Speaker 1: year olds is off the charts. Why do you think
Speaker 1: that is And do you see that reflected when you
Speaker 1: travel around in the state of Kentucky.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I mean you know that you know, men in
Speaker 8: particular wants somebody that's not going to demean them, is
Speaker 8: not going to belittle them, is not going to tell
Speaker 8: them that they are the problem in every circumstance. And
Speaker 8: President Trump spoke to men of all races. He spoke
Speaker 8: to men across this country in a way that candidly
Speaker 8: Republican and Democrats just hadn't done. And I think men
Speaker 8: have been grat gravitating to the Republican Party because again,
Speaker 8: they're tired of a Democratic party that tell that belittles
Speaker 8: them and tells them again that they are the issue
Speaker 8: to every problem in this country. President Trump has been
Speaker 8: strong in supportive, frankly, people of all walks of life.
Speaker 8: But the reason that men of different races have been
Speaker 8: coming to the Republican Party is because, again, this is
Speaker 8: a party that says, hey, it's it's okay to be
Speaker 8: a man, it's okay to be strong, it's okay to
Speaker 8: be a leader, and you don't have to apologize for that.
Speaker 8: And the Democrats, for whatever reason, have decided to double
Speaker 8: and triple down on this ideology that tells you it's
Speaker 8: okay for men to play in women's sports, that we
Speaker 8: somehow need to be afraid of masculinity. Again, President Trump says,
Speaker 8: let's disregard that. Let's focus on men being leaders, working hard,
Speaker 8: providing for their families and I hear that from people
Speaker 8: all across Kentucky that are tired of a Democratic Party
Speaker 8: that candidly has tried to diminish the importance of men
Speaker 8: in our society. And you know, again, President Trump has
Speaker 8: recognized that, has looked for ways to make sure men
Speaker 8: know that this is a party that supports them and
Speaker 8: is going to value them.
Speaker 1: We're talking to Daniel Cameron, running for Senate in Kentucky.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen this news yet, but
Speaker 1: you played college football at Louisville. There is news now
Speaker 1: that the top twelve teams are going to make the
Speaker 1: college football playoff in order they're going to be that
Speaker 1: way that is just broken in the last fifteen or
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Do you expect if you go on and
Speaker 1: I think you will become the next senator from Kentucky,
Speaker 1: do you expect that your Louisville Cardinal will during your
Speaker 1: first term in office make the college football Playoff? Would
Speaker 1: that be an expectation in six years?
Speaker 8: Play on the first point, I did play football U
Speaker 8: of L, but play is a very generous term. I
Speaker 8: took people all the time. I had a front row
Speaker 8: seat to the best team in the house. When I
Speaker 8: was sitting on the bench. But hey man, look, hope
Speaker 8: springs eternal. I believe in coach Brom. Look, I believe
Speaker 8: wholeheartedly that within the first six years we're gonna have
Speaker 8: a UFL football team that is playing in the playoffs
Speaker 8: and hopefully competing ultimately for that national championship. That's my
Speaker 8: hope again. You know, Jeff Coach Brom was one of
Speaker 8: the quarterbacks coaches when I was playing, and they just
Speaker 8: the Brons have a heart for not only the university,
Speaker 8: but for the community. And I know that's on their
Speaker 8: heart to push and to strive to get us in
Speaker 8: that national championship game. So I'm hopeful that will happen.
Speaker 8: I'm hoping it'll happen on the earlier side of my
Speaker 8: term and not towards the end. You know, our fans,
Speaker 8: our fans are like Tennessee fans, They're like all fans.
Speaker 8: They want success immediately, So let's make sure we get
Speaker 8: them there early as opposed to the.
Speaker 2: Latter end of that first turn.
Speaker 1: All right, So last question for you. We just had
Speaker 1: the Kentucky Derby a couple of weeks ago. Buck and
Speaker 1: I were up there last year. It was fabulous for Pitt. Now,
Speaker 1: I know you're a Louisville guy, but one of the
Speaker 1: coolest things obviously is the derby. But also Keenland is
Speaker 1: pretty fabulous and a lot of UK people tell me
Speaker 1: that the combo and I still haven't done it. The
Speaker 1: combo of Kentucky football and Keenland Race Day is one
Speaker 1: of the best days for a sports fan anywhere, even
Speaker 1: as a uiver U of L guy, even as a
Speaker 1: Louisville guy. Would you give them that nod and say,
Speaker 1: Keenland plus UK Football Day is pretty tough to beat.
Speaker 8: That's a that's a hard That is a hard day
Speaker 8: to beat, regardless of where you are in the country.
Speaker 8: I mean that there's no better atmosphere than than spending
Speaker 8: a little time at Keenland and then at the uh
Speaker 8: you know for UK football game as well. And I'll
Speaker 8: just say, you know, in that circumstance, not only do
Speaker 8: you get to tailgate once, but you get to tell
Speaker 8: gate twice because people tailgate before they go into to
Speaker 8: Keenland and then you tailgate before you go into the
Speaker 8: football game. Uh So yeah, I mean, I I don't
Speaker 8: think you can you can argue with that position. Uh
Speaker 8: look there, look I'm I'm excited to be in a
Speaker 8: in a in a commonwealth, in a state where we've
Speaker 8: got candidly like two two roughly two programs right now
Speaker 8: that like are really trying to get their act together.
Speaker 8: I mean it makes the whole state better. I mean,
Speaker 8: you know how rivalries work, man, when when both teams
Speaker 8: are playing well or you know, trying to contend, whether
Speaker 8: it's in the SEC or the ACC. You know, that's
Speaker 8: a good thing for our state. So i'm you know,
Speaker 8: I'm I'm I'm hopeful that you know, next time you
Speaker 8: guys designed to come up for the combo, man, you're
Speaker 8: gonna invite me to tag a lot with you.
Speaker 1: We're going to try to do it this fall. I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to it. Daniel Cameron, where can people find
Speaker 1: you if they're interested in following along with the Senate race?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Look again, I encourage your listeners to go to Cameron
Speaker 8: for Kentucky dot com. Join us, help us. If you
Speaker 8: want to give us some financial support, we'd be grateful
Speaker 8: for that as well. But again, this is for our
Speaker 8: kids and our grandkids. This is for making sure we
Speaker 8: have a merit based opportunity to society as opposed to
Speaker 8: what we've seen from the DEI bunch. This is about
Speaker 8: restoring that American dream, helping President Trump push forward on
Speaker 8: his agenda. That's from the American worker for the men
Speaker 8: and women of this commonwealth and country. So I hope
Speaker 8: you'll join us, come on and let's go win this thing.
