1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 2: Welcome in Thursday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Hope 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: all of you are having fabulous Thursday so far. We're 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: going to try to make that a little bit better 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 2: in the time that you will spend with us. Marsha Blackburn, 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: Senator from Tennessee, going to join us in the second hour. 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 2: She's been very outspoken about Israel hamas the hostages in particular, 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 2: we will discuss. And top of the third hour, we're 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: going to go up to the Bluegrass state. Kentucky has 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: got a governor's election which is taking place next week. 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: Attorney General Daniel Cameron running against the sitting governor, Andy Basheer. 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 2: He is a Democrat this year is he is the 14 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: only Democrat that is going to be I believe this 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 2: is true in office anywhere in the South. So it's 16 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: possible Kentucky, you've got an opportunity to join the rest 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: of the South. I believe North Carolina Buck is going 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: to flip back, feel very strongly about that. But Louisiana 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: already has. Mississippi Tate Reeves is going to win. The 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: only state in the South. I believe that we'll have 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: a Republican that might not have a Republican governor is Kentucky. 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 2: So this is a big battleground. We'll talk with Daniel 23 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: Cameron about that in the two PM hour. Now, this 24 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 2: we talked about yesterday, Buck and I think this is 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: important for everybody out there to understand. Joe Biden, based 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: on what the Democrat Party Identity Politics Coalition has come 27 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: to represent, is in a really tough spot as the 28 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 2: situation in Israel continues to advance in terms of its seriousness. 29 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: And right now there is a substantial portion of the 30 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: Democrat base, let's call it twenty percent, maybe that is convinced, 31 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: it's younger, it's more ethnically diverse, that Israel is the 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: bad guy in the Israel war that is going on 33 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: right now against Hamas, and that audience we talked about 34 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: is actually clustered, for instance in Michigan, and if Joe 35 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 2: Biden loses substantial support of Arab voters, then he can't 36 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: win the presidency. And the reality is since that terror 37 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: attack from Hamas in Israel, there has been a massive 38 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: spike in anti Semitism all over the country, and that 39 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: anti Semitism has manifested itself, particularly on college campuses, but 40 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 2: also just in many of our listeners right now who 41 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: are Jewish feeling unsafe and having negative comments and threats 42 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: that are levied against them. This was really kind of 43 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: epitomized in Cornell recently, where a student essentially threatened to 44 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: kill all sorts of Jewish kids and was arrested. 45 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: And so the White House now. 46 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 2: Is responding, and we talked about this with Kaarine Jean Pierre, 47 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 2: not by condemning anti semitism and ensure that they are 48 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: going to provide security for Jewish people across the United States, 49 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: but by to a large degree claiming that the United 50 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: States has been infected with Islamophobia. And this was characterized 51 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: yesterday by what Kamala Harris said in what felt to 52 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: be an incredibly tone deaf statement, Hey, what's really an 53 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: issue right now in the United States is not anti 54 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 2: Semitism or everyone rising up it feels like and attacking Jews. 55 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: It's actually the fact that people are saying negative things 56 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: about Islam. 57 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: Listen. 58 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: As a result of the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel 59 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 3: and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, we have seen an 60 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: uptick in anti Palestinian, anti Arab, anti Semitic, and Islamophobic 61 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: incidents across America. For so many people in our nation, 62 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: the past few days and weeks have brought about all 63 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: two familiar fears, fears that they will be targeted, profiled, 64 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 3: or attacked simply because of who they are, how they worship, 65 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: or how they look. And so today I am proud 66 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: to announce the Biden Harris administration will develop our nation's 67 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: first national strategy to counter Islamophobia. 68 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: First of all, their national strategy will accomplish nothing. This 69 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 4: is just messaging, right, That's one part of this. They're 70 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 4: not going to They haven't suddenly come up with some 71 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 4: way to end Islamophobia. And I would just say Islamophobia 72 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 4: is really a nonsensical term used by cynical people to 73 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 4: bully the public. Right, this notion that there's some wave 74 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: of Islamophobia across the country, or whenever they say things 75 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 4: like an uptick in attacks. There are three hundred and 76 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 4: thirty million people in America. If there's been one violent 77 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 4: attack that we know of against somebody because of perceived 78 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: you know, Muslim Islamic heritage, and the guy was a 79 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 4: total psychopath and everybody know who attacked him, and everybody 80 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 4: condemned it right away, and that's that's that. There are 81 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 4: not mob I mean the problem here. There's a lot 82 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 4: of problems here, Clay. But and we can get into 83 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 4: the politics of this, because I think you identified it 84 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 4: rightly yesterday. This does turn on Michigan. This does turn 85 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 4: on the Muslim American vote in some key swing states, 86 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 4: which is not huge, but it doesn't have to be 87 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 4: to make a big difference. There are not mobs of 88 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 4: Jewish students or any students for that matter, marching around 89 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 4: calling for the murder of Palestinians. That's not happening, or 90 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: the murder of Arabs or the murder of Muslims. That's 91 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 4: not a current. There are mobs on campuses across the 92 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 4: country standing in solidarity with and calling out the most 93 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 4: vile and anti Semitic slurs imaginable, standing in solidarity with Hamas. 94 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 4: That is happening. So the pretense that Biden and his 95 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: team go through here with well, you know there's a 96 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 4: rise and hate on both sides. That's not reality. Okay, yes, 97 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 4: it's not that. There's some right also anti Palestinian hate. 98 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 4: What it even talking about the anti Palestinian hate. People 99 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 4: are saying Israel has a right to defend itself against 100 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 4: Hamas a terrorist group. Anyway, the whole thing is one 101 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 4: it's a window into the mind of the left here, 102 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 4: which is that they still view the Palestinians as always 103 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 4: the victims, even when Hamas commits a mass casualty terror 104 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 4: attack because fourteen hundred people, rapes women, murders babies. 105 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: The whole thing, I mean, the whole thing is absolutely appalling. 106 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: And they also see that there's a political problem here, Clay. Yeah, 107 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: and this is what we were talking about yesterday. Michigan 108 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: in particular, huge Muslim voting population that overwhelmingly supported Joe 109 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: Biden in a toss up district. They're seeing the polling 110 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 2: which is showing seventeen percent support for Joe Biden among 111 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: the Arab population. I don't think you can both sides. 112 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: This one side, that is the Hamas terrorist attacked and 113 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: brutally murdered fourteen hundred people because they are Jewish. And 114 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: there's a great editorial in the Wall Street Journal today 115 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 2: that I was reading this morning. Is it basically says 116 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: what you said, Buck, which is Islamaphobia is a phony diagnosis. 117 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: It's by a guy named Matthew Hennessy. 118 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: That was before that was before there was actually this 119 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: Islamaphobia task force that Kamala Harris is going to head up. 120 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: And he has a good paragraph here. It's rational to 121 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 2: be afraid of Islamic terror. I'm reading directly from his piece. 122 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: It's understandable to be angry about the World Trade Center, Bali, Madrid, London, Paris, 123 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: the Boston Marathon, San Bernardino, Charlie Hebdo, the Manchester Arena, 124 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: the Brussels Metro, the Orlando nightclub, Salmon Rushty, the list 125 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: goes on. It isn't wrong to hate the people who 126 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: live stream the slaughter of entire families on October seventh. 127 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: It isn't a phobia to abhor senseless death delivered in 128 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: the name of God. It may even be laudable. And Buck, 129 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: you hit on it too, And I think it's very 130 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: important to make this clear. No one is calling for 131 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: anything of any violent act to be perpetrated against any 132 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 2: one of the Muslim faith at all. No Jew or 133 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: Christian group that I have seen anywhere. Buck has marched 134 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: demanding some sort of awful outcome for anybody who is Muslim, 135 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: whereas that's happening all over the country if you are. 136 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 4: Jewish, that's exactly right. And I remember, and this was 137 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 4: a moment at Sananim. I could probably even pull up 138 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 4: the old clip. And it was after the mass casualty. 139 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 4: Now not mass casualty on the scale of what we 140 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 4: saw in Israel, but I think it was about eighty people. 141 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 4: If you remember this, on Bestie Day in southern France, 142 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 4: there was a Jihadis terrorist who used a truck and 143 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 4: just ran over as many people and killed as many 144 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 4: people as I mean, it's horrifying. 145 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: In Marseille right close to it. 146 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 5: Uh. 147 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was close to Mars. It might have been 148 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 4: in Nice like I can't remember Hopeobood City. I think 149 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 4: it was a nice but I remember I was on 150 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 4: TV to discuss the attack at CNN, and they had 151 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 4: all these you know, they had the usual like a 152 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 4: former Air Force lieutenant colonel or something whatever, uh, some 153 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 4: academic uh and and I can't remember who else, and 154 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 4: then me and to a man and woman. They all 155 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: went around and they're like, this is what happens basically 156 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: when you don't assimilate your Muslim minorities properly. 157 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: In Europe. 158 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 4: Basically it was Europe's fault they're after and I lost 159 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 4: my mind a little bit. I'm like, what are you 160 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: people talking about? Why can't we talk about getting the 161 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 4: terrorists and stopping the terrorists? You're you know, And and 162 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 4: the the other part of this is we've seen this 163 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 4: in this country for a long time. After a mass 164 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 4: casualty terror attack, and there have been many of them 165 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: on US soil, perpetrated by jihattists. And after that happens Clay, 166 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 4: they they will say the real threat that we face 167 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 4: this Islamophobia. Yeah, this is the constant refrain from Democrats. 168 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 4: That does make you think after a while. So they 169 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 4: just want like the collapse of our civilization, right, I 170 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 4: mean they're actually actively rooting for our country to collapse, 171 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 4: and they certainly want the collapse of Israel. I mean 172 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 4: the left in this country, that's what they're really rooting for. 173 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 4: They don't want them to defend themselves. And you know, 174 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 4: there are some questions that all of this raises about, 175 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 4: you know, what side is the Biden administration really on? 176 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: You know, what are they really willing to do? 177 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: And remember Joe Biden has constantly attacked MAGA extremism. He 178 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 2: won't even acknowledge Islam extremism, right, he won't. And maybe 179 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: I've missed it. Buck, Where where are the in modern era? 180 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: Right? 181 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 2: Because certainly in the past there's all sorts of depredations 182 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: that were inflicted upon everybody. 183 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. 184 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 2: In the lives of you and me and anybody you 185 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: know roughly who's out there listening. When have the Christian 186 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 2: and Jewish terror attacks men? When have people in the 187 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: name of the Christian faith gone out and murdered other 188 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 2: people of a different faith. When have people of the 189 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: Jewish faith gone out and murdered people of a different 190 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 2: faith based solely on religion? Now, when I'm talking about 191 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 2: hundreds of years ago, certainly there were all sorts of 192 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: depredations based on religion. 193 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: Am I missing any. 194 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 2: Can you think of a Christian inspired or Jewish inspired 195 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 2: mass terror casualty event in the name of that religion? 196 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 4: I mean, the left will always try to point to 197 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 4: anti government and they'll try to find somebody who's like 198 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 4: a Timothy McVeigh and they'll. 199 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: Say, oh, well, he was a white. 200 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 4: Male ostensibly Christian, and they'll try to make but Timothy McVeigh. 201 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: Didn't do what he did because he thought Jesus told 202 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: him to. 203 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 4: Right, So there's a there's there's a distinction to be 204 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 4: made there another way, and this raises some issues, but 205 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 4: I think it's important if we're having the conversation about this. 206 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a function of ideology and looking. Not 207 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 4: all ideologies are the same. Okay, the Amish haven't done 208 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 4: a lot of suicide bombings. We can, we can, we 209 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 4: can make these distinct is true, Yes, Okay, there have 210 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 4: been no Amish suicide bombings. 211 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: I think Bakers aren't on a regular basis showing up 212 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: and just mowing people down. 213 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 4: And you know, they use this term Islamophobia, and to 214 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 4: this I just always I think, and this was what 215 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 4: I did for a long time professionally in the CIA 216 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 4: and then afterwards doing national security analysis. Clay, there's no 217 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 4: Buddhist aphobia, there's no sikh a phobia, there's no Hindu 218 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 4: of phobia, if you will. Now people will point to 219 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 4: sometimes that some moron will think someone is a Muslim 220 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 4: and they'll attack them and they're not actually I mean, 221 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 4: and by the way, attacking the person with it in 222 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 4: any time anybody. Again, we are farm everybody in the 223 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 4: violence on the show. To attack anybody for any reason 224 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 4: who's not doing anything to put your life in danger 225 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 4: is wrong. 226 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: Period. Right, there we go. 227 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 4: But there there is something else that gets ignored in 228 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 4: this discussion, which is, you know, in the in the 229 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 4: modern com text, if you're looking for, isn't interesting right 230 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 4: wing white nationalism in America? They will talk about and 231 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 4: they will volve the tie, and they will constantly and 232 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 4: try to tie you know, conservative talk radio host to it, 233 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 4: or try to tie Fox News host to it, or 234 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 4: whomever they thoughever, they can just smear as many people 235 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 4: as possible. But when you talk about Islamic extremism or 236 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 4: jihadism is the term that I tend to use, they 237 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 4: act like there's nothing, there's nothing going on here, but. 238 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: There clearly is. Yes, there clearly is. 239 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 4: A problem, and there has been for a long time. 240 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 4: And this is why, as I said, I mean, you 241 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 4: have about the same number of Buddhists in the United 242 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 4: States as you do Muslims. But the Buddhists aren't all 243 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 4: terrified of surveillance or buddhist aphobia or anything like that, 244 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 4: because the Buddhists haven't been in you know, you're talking 245 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 4: about where does the threat come from? And right now, 246 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 4: if you're looking at Hamas and Iran and these groups 247 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 4: and there they're tentacles around the world and the cells 248 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 4: they're opera, you know that the threat is not the 249 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 4: same from all quarters, folks. 250 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 2: That's the truth, and it's I mean, it is so fascinating, right, 251 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: I mean, the Charlie Hebdo story is awful, but it 252 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: is so interesting how many people in America who claim 253 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: to be LGBTQ social justice warriors are advocating for a 254 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: primitive version of a religion that denies the existence of 255 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: their very lifestyle. 256 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 6: You know, it really is though. It's just the enemy 257 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 6: of my enemy for them, and. 258 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 4: Conservative traditional Judeo Christian Western civilization with clear genders, with 259 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 4: self defense and property rights and capitalism and God. They 260 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 4: hate all of that and they think that jihadis are 261 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 4: a useful tool and the destruction of that. And so 262 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 4: that's why you have people with blue hair who have 263 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 4: they them pronouns, acting like Hamas is their best buddy. 264 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 4: It's just using them as a weapon to try to 265 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 4: bring down the system that they hate as well. Because obviously, Clay, 266 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 4: we look at what they stand for and it's. 267 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: I mean, you would not last very long as an 268 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: openly gay person in any Palestinian occupied a region. 269 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, Or you know a non binary trans individual who 270 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: thinks that twelve year old should be able to change 271 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 4: their gender with state funds. I mean like you don't 272 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 4: don't beyond receive. You don't think that would be well 273 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 4: received in Ron.

We're talking about 341 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 4: the presidential election now, though we're not talking about whether 342 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 4: he's a great governor. He's clearly I mean, I think 343 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 4: it's very hard to make a case he's not a 344 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 4: very good governor. But he's way behind Trump in this 345 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 4: presidential election and has been for many many months now. 346 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 4: And it's go time. So let's look into this. First off, 347 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 4: the Messenger, the Messenger dot Com and Harris X here 348 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 4: have a poll national presidential nomination. 349 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: Trump is at. 350 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 4: Sixty two, DeSantis is at twelve, Haley is at seven, 351 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 4: ramas Swami is at six. Pence obviously dropped out, Christy 352 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 4: won Scott one Ber. Okay, so it's Trump, DeSantis, Haley, 353 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 4: Ramaswami is still at six. So Ramaswami is, you know, 354 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 4: just behind Haley. But he has certainly lost some momentum 355 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 4: in the polling since what was it, maybe Midsummer, I'd 356 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 4: say when he was starting to get into some some 357 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 4: double digit territories. 358 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: I think ve Aveke surged after the first debate. A 359 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 2: lot of people didn't know him. He had a good 360 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 2: I would say, solid performance. And I would say he 361 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 2: peaked about when was the first debate, like late August 362 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 2: am I right on the. 363 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 4: Map on that time, scot I was in Scotland, so 364 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 4: I was in Scotland. 365 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: So I would say Viveke peaked. 366 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 2: If I were assessing where we are right now, I 367 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: would say his campaign pain peaked around Labor Day and 368 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 2: has really not taken that next proverbial next step. And 369 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 2: I would say that DeSantis, you can argue, peaked before 370 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 2: he even announced in terms of national polling. And I 371 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: would say Nicky Hayley is the one who is still 372 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 2: going up as we speak right now. 373 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 4: I think that's that's the way I would assess it 374 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 4: right now. I think she took some of the wind 375 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 4: out of Viveke's sales, if you will by really you know, 376 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 4: she she took swings. She took swings at him and 377 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 4: she took swings at Tim Scott. I'll say what she 378 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 4: took swings at Viveke. I'm like, all right, you're gonna 379 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 4: post photos shirtless playing tennis and like be you know, 380 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 4: Viveke is, you know, he's he's a bit of a 381 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 4: brawler out there. 382 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 2: But with Tim Scott, I was like, oh, well, Tim 383 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: Scott about that. I think even even he acknowledged it, 384 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: he was surprised. He was surprised that she really went 385 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 2: after him like she did. 386 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, so all right, now let's get into it. 387 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,479 Speaker 4: So Ron is out there because he realized he's got 388 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 4: a huge, a huge gap to try to close here, 389 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 4: and I'm just interested to We're interested to see one 390 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 4: whether he's able to get any any momentum. Iowa is 391 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 4: the one place where I think a lot of a 392 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 4: lot of the DeSantis supporters and Team DeSantis are expecting 393 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 4: he'll make a It'll kind of be a first and 394 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 4: last stand simultaneously, right, it'll be the first real time 395 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 4: that people vote. But also if Iowa doesn't go for 396 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 4: Team DeSantis, I think it's gonna get very very you know, 397 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 4: very unlikely that they'll get momentum. You know, after that, 398 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 4: maybe New Hampshire. 399 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: We'll see. 400 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 4: Okay, but Clay, let's let's get into some of what 401 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,479 Speaker 4: he has said here and whether this is going this 402 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 4: This was interesting. I did not expect this answer the 403 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 4: way it came out. At least here's Ron DeSantis. This 404 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 4: is on ms He went on MSNBC. He went into 405 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 4: the Lions lions Den, which which I respect. I think 406 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 4: a lot of candidates should do that, you know, I 407 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 4: mean Trump sits down with Maggie Haburn for the New 408 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 4: York Times all the time to try to talk to 409 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 4: that audience. I think it's fine to go into lions 410 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 4: Den as long as you represent who you are and 411 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 4: you don't try to pander. And he did not do that. 412 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 2: And I think going live is important because they won't 413 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 2: edit it. So he was on Live Morning. Joe DeSantis 414 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: was this morning on MSNBC. I think that's smart. We 415 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 2: got some cuts to play for you. Yes, So let's 416 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: let's start with this one. First off, he's saying Trump 417 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 2: is running this is seventeen. He is saying Trump is 418 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: running a Biden style basement campaign. 419 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: Play it. We are not going to win. 420 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 7: As Republicans by adopting the strategy that Biden did being 421 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 7: in the basement during the twenty twenty campaign. That's effectively 422 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 7: what Donald Trump's doing. 423 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: He is refusing to debate. 424 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 7: We've got a lot of issues that this country is 425 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 7: facing right now require steady, focused, strong leadership. You've got 426 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 7: to be able to defend your record and you've got 427 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 7: to be able to articulate how you're going to take 428 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 7: the country in a better direction. And so my view 429 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 7: of why you should debate, I mean, look, I want 430 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 7: to fight for people, you know, and Donald Trump is 431 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 7: perceived by Republicans as a fighter, but I also want 432 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 7: to win for people. That means winning elections, but also 433 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 7: means winning on these policy fights. 434 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 4: Play if you were up forty or fifty points, would 435 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 4: you debate? 436 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: No, I would not. 437 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 2: And look, I will say we were citing a national poll. 438 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: Things can change quickly because it's not as if there 439 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 2: are a lot of advertisements running in California or I 440 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 2: would imagine Texas, in Oklahoma, all over the country right now. 441 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 2: Everybody's spending money right now in Iowa, and then they're 442 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: spending money in New Hampshire in South Carolina, and I 443 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 2: would bet that's like ninety five percent of the money 444 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: that's being spent right now, is being spent in those 445 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 2: three states by all candidates. But to me, if Trump 446 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: gets on the stage, he legitimizes his challengers. If I 447 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 2: were running, I would a billion percent want him on 448 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 2: the stage. And so I don't begrudge DeSantis making that argument, 449 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 2: Nikki Haley making that argument, the Vake. 450 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 4: Anybody he's got to man. I mean, they've got to 451 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 4: make that argument. And this was I think the fatal 452 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 4: flaw for the campaign for Aveke all along was you 453 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 4: can't want to be the guy when you're praising somebody 454 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 4: else as the guy. 455 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: It's hard to say. 456 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: It's hard to be Basically, what Theveke is saying is 457 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, for a sports analogy, is Peyton Manning one 458 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 2: of the greatest quarterbacks who's ever lived. But I'll be 459 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 2: Tom Brady, right, it's hard to argue that the person 460 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 2: you're trying to get over is, you know, one of 461 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: the great. 462 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: There's only one QB. 463 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 4: But there's only one QB jobs played, right, There's only 464 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,159 Speaker 4: one job, so we can't you know, it's not like 465 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 4: he can be a great on his team. 466 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: I give you a great of my team. 467 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 4: There's only one president, only one slot so if you 468 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 4: don't think, if you're not willing to say you're better 469 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 4: than the other person in the role, you're not going 470 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 4: to get the role. So that was and I saw 471 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 4: that all along, and I think I was pretty honest 472 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 4: about that, as much as Vivick did have some very 473 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 4: good moments on the debate stage, et cetera. Okay, but 474 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 4: back to just so we both Zanas has to make 475 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 4: the case that Trump needs to go on stage. Trump 476 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 4: is not going to go on stage. So that doesn't 477 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 4: really change very much going after Trump as a big spender. 478 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,959 Speaker 1: Does this move the needle at all? Play eighteen. 479 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 7: I was there for the first two years of the 480 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 7: Trump administration. There was a faction of us in the 481 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 7: House that was urging him not to just sign these 482 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 7: big omnibus spending bills. But he signed every spending bill 483 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 7: that ever got to his he asked, culminating in a 484 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 7: big gusher of spending his last year in office, which 485 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 7: of course ended up adding seven point eight trillion to 486 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 7: the debt in one four year period as a president. 487 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 7: Under the four years of Trump, he added almost as 488 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 7: much to the debt as Obama did in eight years, 489 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 7: And so there was no sense of fiscal restraint. 490 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: There does this dent the armor at all? 491 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: Look, I think the only way you can beat Trump, 492 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: and I have said this from the gig no, I 493 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: think the answer is no. I mean, I think that 494 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: the people who are going to be focused on government 495 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 2: spending already know this, and I think it's hard to 496 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 2: move the needle on that. The only I think the 497 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 2: only way to beat Trump. This is my personal opinion. 498 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 2: I think you have to say and they're not willing 499 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 2: to do this because they're afraid. I think you have 500 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 2: to say Trump lost in twenty twenty. I'm saying if 501 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 2: I'm running against him, and he will lose in twenty 502 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 2: twenty four if we put him up against Biden again. 503 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 2: I think you have to attack Trump and say exactly that, 504 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: and you have to say it over and over and 505 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 2: over again. The challenge with that is there are a 506 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 2: lot of Republican voters who don't want to hear it 507 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: and so don't believe it and don't believe it, and 508 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: so that's the only way you win. 509 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: Because here's the deal. I am focused. 510 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: All I care about is winning, right, I am Al Davis, 511 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 2: Just win baby. I mean, I wrote American Playbook It's like, 512 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 2: this is how you win, and I want to win comfortably. 513 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to be. 514 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: Awake late at night worried about whether a fire alarm 515 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 2: is gonna go off in Fulton County. I don't want 516 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 2: to worry about whether the voting machines are going to 517 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: work in Maricopa County. I don't want to worry about 518 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: what's going to happen in Milwaukee or Detroit, or Philadelphia 519 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 2: or Pittsburgh, because you know the Democrats are going to 520 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: pull every lever they can. Now, the challenge, Buck is 521 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 2: if you go balls to the wall with that argument, 522 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: you might not win, and you might also mortally wound 523 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 2: yourself in the twenty twenty camp because right now, I 524 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 2: think Trump is going to win. Right if we were, 525 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 2: if the election was, you know, Tuesday coming up in 526 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, you said. 527 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 4: The twenty twenty campaign, You mean the twenty twenty four campaign, right. 528 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 2: Well, if you lose, sorry if you If you make 529 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 2: that argument and you lose in twenty twenty four, I 530 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 2: think it impacts you in twenty twenty eight. I think people, Yeah, 531 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 2: I think people remember because the big takeaway here, and 532 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 2: I think we're starting to think about how this plays 533 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 2: out is even if you lose in twenty twenty four, 534 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 2: you want to be super viable in twenty twenty eight. 535 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: So for people out there who are stepping down, yeah, 536 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 2: that's why. 537 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 4: That's why Glenn Youngkin's not running in this cycle. I 538 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 4: think because he's seen what's going on here with the Trump. 539 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:49,239 Speaker 1: Base, and it's just it's the strength of it. 540 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 4: The it's implacable, it's unmovable, it's it's ossified. I mean, 541 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 4: it is there. Look at you, mister vocab. You know, 542 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 4: thrown it out there a little bit. And I think 543 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 4: I think young Kin, for example, somebody who figures, you 544 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 4: know what you don't want to get. I mean, I 545 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 4: don't I don't say this in any kind of a 546 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,199 Speaker 4: I don't mean this in a mean way, but you know, 547 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 4: I mean, I think Marco Rubio's presidential prospects were damaged 548 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 4: by the twenty sixteen campaign. Now he's still a senator 549 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 4: and he's still doing his thing, and that's fine. But 550 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 4: I think that sometimes getting in the race against Trump 551 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 4: doesn't lead you in a better in a better spot 552 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 4: the next time around. 553 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: Is that the case with the Santis or not with 554 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: sell c. 555 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: And That's that's why I'm saying, Buck. The question they're 556 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 2: going to have to decide at some point is how 557 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 2: much are you really gonna go at the King? 558 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: Remember? 559 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? 560 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: Is it all of that? Yeah? 561 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 4: Of course if you come at the King, you best 562 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 4: not miss Omar's best line from the wire. I believe 563 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 4: that actor passed away recently. 564 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: I think you're right, but I think there are a 565 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 2: lot of guys who may be coming at the King 566 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: and missing. And if Trump goes down, if Trump loses, 567 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: I don't think you're harmed as much in twenty eight. 568 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: But if Trump wins, it's gonna be hard to get 569 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: people who really supported Trump to come back into your camp. 570 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 2: And I think that's the calculus everybody's playing with. 571 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,719 Speaker 4: I want to know, do we have right now listening 572 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 4: and wanted to call in to make their case Team 573 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 4: Ron folks who still see the pathway and who think 574 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 4: that because we get the emails, we get some angry 575 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 4: We get angry emails, not even because we look we 576 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 4: have never endorsed. We're just talking about what the polls 577 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 4: are saying and what looks likely based on the numbers. 578 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 4: But people say, don't say that Trump is you know, 579 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 4: likely or don't say that Trump is is almost certainly 580 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 4: or anything like that. So eight hundred two A two 581 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 4: two eight A two and clay Let, let's let's come 582 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 4: back to this question. 583 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 2: Same thing for Nicky Haley too, by the way, because 584 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: I think those are the only three that you could 585 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: really make a case for right now. If we get 586 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 2: if we get some Nicky Haley callers, maybe the exist, 587 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: maybe they exist out there. We know we got a 588 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: lot of decantists, and we know we got a lot 589 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 2: of Trump. Maybe there's Nicky Haley, no steadfast. 590 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 4: And if we don't take any it's because we're not 591 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 4: getting the calls from them, which means this audience may 592 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 4: be all in on you know, we may be at 593 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 4: the like eighty ninety percent all in on Trump phase 594 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 4: of things here. But should the part this is a 595 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 4: question post Rohn de Santis, should the party nominate Trump 596 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 4: if if he is convicted in one of these felony trials. 597 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 4: Clay Let's return to this, Let's play this. Let's return 598 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 4: to this because this was a moment. This is an 599 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 4: interesting question to pose to the number two in the 600 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 4: presidential election GOP primary. Right now, we'll get back to 601 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 4: that in a second. You know, there's truth in the 602 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 4: phrase practice makes perfect. 603 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: Guess what. 604 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 4: I'm going out to the range this weekend with my 605 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 4: brother and a friend of ours who is a true expert. 606 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 4: You know, I'm just an amateur trying to get as 607 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 4: good as I can, trying to hone some of the 608 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 4: basic skills I learned at the agency back at the 609 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 4: back in the day.

But 633 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 4: a lot of VIP emails come in about what we 634 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 4: were just talking about. Let's see, we have Mark writing in. 635 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 4: Remember if you want to be a VIP, go to 636 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 4: claanbuck dot com. He writes, Fellas, can you imagine how 637 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 4: jealous Trump will be at for DeSantis kicks Newsom's butt 638 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 4: in their November thirtieth debate. 639 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 6: Mark, I don't think Trump's gonna care. That's my sense 640 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 6: of it. 641 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. 642 00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 2: I could be wrong, but I don't think I will 643 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,959 Speaker 2: watch that debate. But I don't think and I think 644 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 2: it's smart for DeSantis to do. But I don't think 645 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 2: Trump's going to watch that debate. 646 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. 647 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 4: I think Trump will ignore the whole thing, Frederick writes, 648 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 4: DeSantis lies quite a bit. Trump is holding rallies all 649 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 4: over Iowa, He's visiting New Hampshire. DeSantis mints Mince's words, 650 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 4: like an unethical lawyer, Frederick not a speaking as an 651 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 4: unethical lawyer. 652 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: Buck. 653 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 2: I actually don't think DeSantis lies like compared to a 654 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 2: lot of politicians out there. But the Democrat standard for 655 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 2: lie is so high, highly set. I think it's it's 656 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 2: hard to argue that DeSantis is lying. 657 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 4: Senator Marshall Blackburn with us now from Tennessee Center. Appreciate 658 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 4: you calling in. 659 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 5: I'm delighted to join you.

Given all that's 663 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 4: going on with Israel and Gaza and Hamas unveiling its 664 00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 4: strategy to combat Islamophobia yesterday. 665 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 5: You have to listen to some things that are said 666 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 5: from this White House and say they have to be 667 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 5: tone deaf. How could they possibly move forward with that 668 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 5: when you have Hamas a recognized terrorist organization, recognized as 669 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 5: such by the US and our allies have carried out 670 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:31,959 Speaker 5: these attacks on Israel, killing Israelis in their homes, in 671 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 5: their communities, and beheading babies, burning babies in the ovens, 672 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 5: killing grandparents in front of their kids, and children in 673 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 5: front of their parents. How could they possibly not talk 674 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 5: about what has happened to the people of Israel. 675 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: Senator, appreciate you joining us. 676 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 2: There's a lot of talk now about Israeli AID, Ukrainian AID, 677 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 2: Taiwanese aid. The Biden administration is trying to roll that 678 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,280 Speaker 2: all together into one big bill. I believe that costs 679 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 2: over one hundred billion dollars. My understanding is the House 680 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 2: is going to first pass a bill that focuses on Israel. 681 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,760 Speaker 2: Should this be one bill? Should it be individual bills? 682 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 2: How do you think this should be handled? 683 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 5: I think the process of moving forward with Israel Aid 684 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 5: stand alone by itself, addressing those issues is important, you know, Clay. 685 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 5: One of the things that's so important in this discussion 686 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 5: is Israel can tell you exactly what they need and 687 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 5: exactly of how many of whatever it is that they need. 688 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 5: There is not any ambiguity there. That's important to this 689 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,919 Speaker 5: process and giving Israel what they need to defend themse 690 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,720 Speaker 5: else is important. Making certain they have what they need 691 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 5: in order to defeat Hamas and rid the face of 692 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 5: the earth of Hamas. That is an important part of this. 693 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 3: Now. 694 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 5: If you want to then turn and take up Ukraine aid, 695 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 5: which is a completely different issue, and we have got 696 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 5: to have some accountability and transparency around the Ukraine dollars, 697 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 5: whether it is for humanitarian aid or some of their 698 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 5: government infrastructure or their military. There has to be some accountability. 699 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 5: Right now, we're about seventy five billion dollars in on Ukraine, 700 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 5: so we want to take this time and figure out 701 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 5: what has happened. Now. Nobody wants Vladimir Putin to get 702 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 5: a win, nobody, but at the same time we have 703 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 5: to have some transparency. Also, it is imperative that we 704 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 5: secure that southern border. Look at what we had the 705 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,760 Speaker 5: first couple of weeks of October, at that southern border, 706 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 5: you had thirty Iranians, thirty five Pakistanis, one hundred Russians 707 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,760 Speaker 5: in two thousand Chinese come to that border and present 708 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 5: themselves and ask for asylum. This year you've had one 709 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty one known terrorists come to that border 710 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 5: and claim asylum, and border patrol will tell you they 711 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,959 Speaker 5: have got to have a barrier. They've got to have 712 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 5: more agents and officers. They need technology where they cannot 713 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 5: get a barrier, and we have to stop this flow 714 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 5: coming into the country. You have people from countries of 715 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:55,319 Speaker 5: interest by the thousands coming in here and DHS may 716 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 5: ORCUS is doing nothing to track these people. When these 717 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 5: terrorists are at apprehended, we don't know what they're doing 718 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 5: with them, but we know they're not sending them to Gitmo, 719 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 5: which is where terrorists ought to be sent. So the 720 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 5: border and the open nature of this, the fact that 721 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 5: you've got got aways that are coming to that border, 722 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 5: and you've got the worst of the worst, the gang members, 723 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 5: the terrorists, those that are drug dealers and human traffickers. 724 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 5: They're the ones and the god aways, they're the ones 725 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,280 Speaker 5: that don't want to get caught. 726 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,839 Speaker 2: Senator, you're a mom and you're a grandma. When you 727 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 2: see all these young people rallying to support Hamas, rallying 728 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 2: to support Palestine, opposing Israel's right to defend itself, what 729 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:48,800 Speaker 2: do you think. 730 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 5: I just it's astounding to me that they are doing this, 731 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 5: and that the universities you're letting this happen. As I said, 732 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 5: the US recognizes and has for the last couple of 733 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 5: decades has recognized Thomas as a terrorist group. And these 734 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 5: universities are letting these students go out here and rally 735 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 5: in support of terrorism, Rally in support of people that 736 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 5: say death to America, death to Israel. Rally in support 737 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 5: of an organization who in their bylaws, in their bylaws 738 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 5: they talk about one of their goals being the annihilation 739 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 5: of the State of Israel. They rally in support of Hamas, 740 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 5: an organization that has a leader that goes out and 741 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 5: gives an interview and says, we intended to do all 742 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 5: the damage we did on October seventh, and guess what, 743 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 5: We're going to do it again and again and again 744 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 5: until we annihilate Israel. Think about that this is observed 745 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 5: and I will tell you, Clay, this is one of 746 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 5: the reasons that Senator Jackie Rose and I had our 747 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 5: resolution to condemn this, and we were joined by Senator 748 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 5: Van Holland and Senator Langford as primary co sponsors, and 749 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,800 Speaker 5: then our resolution condemning these actions passed off the floor 750 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 5: of the US Senate last Thursday, and it did it 751 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 5: with a unanimous vote. Nobody objected. And I wish we 752 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 5: would see that kind of solidarity and support for Israel 753 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 5: all across the country. People need to realize that these 754 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 5: terrorist organizations, whether it's Samas or Husbalo or the Whosis 755 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 5: or isis Syria, isis Rick. We've got a porous border. 756 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 5: We've got these terrorist organizations that would love to get 757 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 5: people in the country into their terrorist sales, and we 758 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:10,040 Speaker 5: are making ourselves vulnerable because we are not securing our 759 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 5: southern border. 760 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,839 Speaker 4: Senator Marshall Blackbird of Tennessee, Senator, thanks for being here 761 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 4: with us. 762 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 5: You got it.

All right, 794 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 2: we've done a lot of serious discussion here. 795 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: Buck. 796 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 2: There is a major controversy after yet again this dispute 797 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 2: has gone viral. I don't know where you stand on 798 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 2: This issue divides families, divides husbands, wives, parents from their children. 799 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 2: What should happen with seats as it pertains to reclining 800 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,560 Speaker 2: on airplanes. I'm gonna be honest with all of you 801 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 2: out there. I am one billion percent committed to no 802 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,680 Speaker 2: reclining on seats. 803 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: I'm not huge. 804 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 2: I'm six foot, you know, one eighty five or so. 805 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 2: If someone reclines to me while I am in coach 806 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 2: class seating, which I fly almost exclusively on Southwest because 807 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 2: there is no first class, I feel like I am imprisoned. 808 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 2: I can't work on my laptop. I can't even hold 809 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 2: my beloved paper newspaper hardly and turn the pages. I 810 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,359 Speaker 2: am of the opinion that no seats on any airplane 811 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 2: that is not like an overnight flight, that you shouldn't 812 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,200 Speaker 2: be able to recline at all. I bet for the 813 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 2: flight attendants that are listening, I bet this is like 814 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 2: ninety percent of the fights that they see on a 815 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,240 Speaker 2: regular basis. 816 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: Now, so is my position. 817 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 4: I'm anti, you're anti, you're all in on it, and 818 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 4: I respect all in. I will tell you that I 819 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 4: think that this is situational. I think there's a little 820 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 4: bit of situational awareness need to have here. If it 821 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 4: is a daylight domestic flight, I do not think you recline. 822 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 4: I think that ever, you know, because people are going 823 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 4: to be working in either space. I think that if 824 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,240 Speaker 4: they dim the lights in the cabin and you're talking 825 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 4: about it, like if you're flying coach, you know, the 826 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 4: red Eye New York to LA or something, you know, 827 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 4: you do what you can to try to get the 828 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 4: rest you can. You're not going to sleep very well 829 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 4: in the coach even with it reclined. But I think 830 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:53,240 Speaker 4: if you're in a dimmed cabin situation and it's clear 831 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,840 Speaker 4: that people are going to be trying to get sleep, 832 00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 4: than reclining is sometimes acceptable. However, my thing is airlines 833 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 4: need to get far more aggressive about policing seat kicking 834 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,879 Speaker 4: because there are a lot of people who and when 835 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 4: I say kicking, I just mean people who are very aggressive. 836 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 4: First of all, do you ever have this where someone 837 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 4: sits behind you and they decide they want to get 838 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 4: to the bathroom and instead of using their arm rests, 839 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 4: they use the back of the seat in front of 840 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,240 Speaker 4: them like a catapult, Like like they're a medieval lord 841 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,840 Speaker 4: trying to storm the fortress and they want to fire 842 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 4: a rock over it, and they shoot themselves up into 843 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 4: the sky, basically using your entire seat as the springboard. 844 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,360 Speaker 4: That to me is a massive party foul and you 845 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 4: should get a time out for. 846 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 2: I understand, yes, that sometimes happens. Those are people that 847 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 2: usually don't with the way that I think about it 848 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 2: is they usually don't have the ability to otherwise get up, 849 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,720 Speaker 2: like they tend to be like older, out of shape, 850 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,840 Speaker 2: like they have difficulty getting up in general. So I 851 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 2: I agree with that on some level. The other thing, 852 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 2: I'm still fired up about the reclining seats. If you 853 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 2: aren't very big, like my wife is five to two, 854 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 2: you like you definitely should not. 855 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: I want someone who is five to two. How tall 856 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,239 Speaker 1: is carry? How tall is your wife? Like five five, 857 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 1: five six, something like that, Like I've five. I don't know. 858 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: If she's not listening, she's probably so my wife is 859 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 1: five to two. 860 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 2: I understand when I'm six foot, I'm not claiming like 861 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,959 Speaker 2: I'm six six or something like that. But when there's 862 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 2: like something to be reached on a shelf, if you're short, 863 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 2: you presume that people who are taller than you can 864 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,080 Speaker 2: reach anything. Like she'll be like, hey, can you get that. 865 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 2: I'm like, that's nine feet in the air. Like, I'm 866 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 2: taller than you, and my arms are a lot longer, 867 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 2: but I can't get up that high. I don't think 868 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 2: short people have any concept for what it's like to 869 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 2: be in coach class seating. 870 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: And so when some and a lot of times a woman. 871 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 2: Is like five, I have two and reclines in front 872 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 2: of me, I'm like, you have an ocean of space 873 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,120 Speaker 2: already like this swallowing you. 874 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 1: Okay, I said five to five. I was closed. I'm 875 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 1: close enough that I'm out in any trouble. 876 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 2: So if you're a five foot two five foot four 877 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,359 Speaker 2: woman and you sit in coach class seating, you have 878 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 2: an abundance and a luxury of space. 879 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 1: You're like in first class seating. 880 00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 2: Compared to someone who is six feet or bigger, I 881 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 2: can't even imagine. Like I sometimes see guys who are 882 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 2: like six ' five or six six walking past me 883 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 2: on a Southwest Airlines flight, and I just think, you 884 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 2: poor bastard, Like you can't even sit without your knees 885 00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 2: grinding into people's backs. I'm telling you, seats should not 886 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 2: be reclinable because people say, oh, well, I paid for 887 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 2: the seat, and I should recline. I've tried to do 888 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,400 Speaker 2: laptop work. I've tried to read. You cannot do it 889 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 2: if you're a decent sized man and someone reclines in 890 00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 2: front of you. 891 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 4: So I was also an There's also the people that 892 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 4: recline very rapidly, and sometimes we'll hit your laptop or 893 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 4: they'll even knock over drinks things like that. Yeah, that's 894 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 4: a common that's a common U shortcoming of the situation. 895 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 4: I'm surprised that you don't. I will tell you, Clay, 896 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 4: there are moments where someone is being so aggressive in 897 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,799 Speaker 4: the pushing and hitting of my seat that I have 898 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,480 Speaker 4: to think to myself, I do not want the Daily 899 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 4: Mail headline.
