1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. Thursday edition of the Klay, Travis and Buck

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Sexton Show kicks off now, and we've got a lot

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,120
Speaker 1: to break down with all of you, our friends plural there.

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: I to make sure that through Floral, our friends Julie

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Kelly and Ryan Grodowski be joining Julie in the second

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: hour on the judicial coup that is still very much

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 1: underway and a major challenge for the Trump agenda, but

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: one I think that they are up to the task

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: of tackling. And then Ryan Grodusky on some of the numbers,

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: including Clay that discussion yesterday that we had. I had

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: a lot of people reaching out to me off air,

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: either about hearing us on the show talking about that

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: or even just in my life who had seen those numbers.

14
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: And we got to put some of these questions out

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: there again, like college educated white women. Zelensky is the

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: thing that they are the biggest outliers on how much

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: they love Voladimir Zelenski. There's some crazy and DEI those

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: go together. I think also, I saw today and it

19
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: ties in with what we were talking about yesterday. I

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: think because I said, if we overlaid the different groups,

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: I think what you would find is that white college

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: educated women are the least happy of all of those groups,

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: whether it's non college educated white men and women or

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: men who went to college. Did you see this today,

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: Bucket's actually really kind of sad. The United States overall

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: happiness index, to the extent that they track this hit

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: a all time low, and it's being driven by people

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: under the age of thirty. And I would bet that

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: it's women under the age of thirty overwhelmingly who are unhappy.

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: And I think it's hard not to believe at this

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: point that all of this isn't directly connected to social media.

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if you go look at the charts overall

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: mental health rates. Now certainly COVID didn't help, but overall

34
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: mental health rates just collapsed about twenty fourteen when social

35
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: media became prevalent in everybody's lives. And I think we're

36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: going to find out that this is like the nicotine

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: or cigarettes of our generation, where we allowed these phones

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: and the social media apps, particularly for young people, to

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: really kind of lead us astray in terms of our

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: life's pursuits. So there's an early big picture idea that

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: I think ties in with yesterday. So we've also got

42
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: some updates on the border, Tom Holman pointing out that

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: they are rocking on all cylinders here to enforce the law,

44
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: comparing it to Biden. We'll give you those updates. Trump

45
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: on the recession that people are predicting. It is not

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: a recession. He is not worried at all, which is

47
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure not a surprise to any of you. The

48
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: war against Tesla, which we discussed a bit yesterday, there's

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: more on that. It is just insane and destructive and

50
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: wrong on every level. And I know yesterday I share

51
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: that I'm thinking about getting a Tesla. I'm trying to

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: convince carry the problem is we don't really use the

53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: car that we have that much, or we still have

54
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: a lease on it. You have two parking spots or

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: one is this also in spots one car? But we

56
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of guests to come over here, so

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: we have friends that come visit, so it's nice to

58
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: have a little guest spot. Anyway, thinking about getting a Tesla,

59
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: and people still go, oh, Teslas for rich You can

60
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: get a Tesla right now, I know I sound like

61
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: a Tesla salesman for about what you can get a

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: like reasonably equipped, you know, Toyota Corolla for a new

63
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: Toyota Corolla, I mean it. You can get a Tesla

64
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: for like three something a month, which is really low

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: compared to you know, compared to what you can see

66
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: across the car marketplace. Cars have been very expensive recently, anyway,

67
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: we have that, and used cars prices have been It's

68
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: not cheap to buy a car anywhere, to be frank. So,

69
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I know people have their problems with the evs and

70
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: everything else. Okay, I get it, But the point is

71
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: they're going after Elon and they're trying to hurt his company,

72
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: and they're celebrating in its madness. But let's talk about

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: something else for a second here, or something that has

74
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: gotten both of our attention on this week, and that

75
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: is the Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer as a leader, I

76
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: guess of the Democrat Party. Still, you know, he's one

77
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: of the gray hairs. He's been around for a long time,

78
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: in the game a long time, and you're starting to

79
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: hear a little bit of the resentful. It reminds me

80
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: of the Obama era. You didn't build that because Trump

81
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: has completely cornered the narrative on robust capitalism, winners building

82
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: creating wealth for the country and you know, individual prosperity

83
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Democrats are the party.

84
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

85
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: And here is Chuck Schumer on the view complaining about

86
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: Americans who want to keep more this is fourteen, keep

87
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: more of their money.

88
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: You know what their attitude is. I made my money

89
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: all by myself. How dare your government take my money

90
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: from me. I don't want to pay taxes, or I've

91
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: built my company with my bare hands. How dare your

92
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 3: government tell me how I should treat my customers, the

93
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: land and water that I own, or my employees. They

94
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: hate government. Government's a barrier to people, a barrier to

95
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it.

96
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: We are not letting them do it, and we're united.

97
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: They're just the left wing authoritarian party, Clay, that's really

98
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: what the Democrats have become. They want to tell you

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: what to do with everything, and they control everything, even

100
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: though they're imbeciles. I want Democrats to apt to answer

101
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: the question. And I know we're not very far away

102
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: from April fifteenth, which is not a very happy day

103
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: for a lot of our listeners out there, But what

104
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: is a fair share? I pay forty percent of my

105
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: income to the federal government most years now forty percent boom.

106
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: You know, I work until May and so I'm still

107
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: working basically for the federal government. What would be a

108
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: fair share. We have an insanely, insanely aggressive tax policy

109
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: for people who actually pay taxes. First of all, and

110
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: very few people talk about this. Income taxes are only

111
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: paid by about fifty percent of the United States population. So,

112
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: first of all, right, off the top over, I think

113
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: it's fifty one percent of people don't pay a single

114
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: dollar in federal income tax. Now, payroll taxes is different, right,

115
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking about federal income taxes. And then a lot

116
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: of you you live in New York, you're listening to

117
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: us right now, you live in California, you live in Illinois,

118
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: then you have to pay another twelve or thirteen percent

119
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: state income tax. And then that doesn't even get into

120
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: what your property taxes are going to be or what

121
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: your sales taxes are going to be. I mean, the

122
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: government is taxing us like crazy. And I gotta lived

123
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: to New York stage. I haven't lived in New York

124
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: in uh what going on three years now, two and

125
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: a half years, and they still want me paying taxes

126
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: there somehow it's crazy. Okay, the system we have is

127
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: absolutely nuts. I got taxed because Fox Sports is based

128
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: in LA and I would travel a lot to LA

129
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: to do television shows and buck. I remember when they

130
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: would take that money out of my paycheck by the day.

131
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: It's by the work day. Same thing in New York City,

132
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: same thing I think in Utah. Ifire remember correctly. When

133
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: I've been to Salt Lake City in the past, I've

134
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: had to pay like hundreds of dollars in income for

135
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: the privilege of being in Salt Lake. It's a beautiful place.

136
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: It is lovely. But I justly appreciate that Utah was

137
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: was grabbing into my pocket there point. We appreciate everybody

138
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: who listens in Salt Lake City, where I believe we're

139
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: number one, and by yeah your number one, you're consistently

140
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: for three plus years now, thank you, Saltlakes Great station.

141
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: I will say, like, when you look at the at

142
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: these arguments, isn't it interesting they never get pushed back.

143
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: They say, you need you should pay your fair share.

144
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: That's their line, what is the fair share? And I

145
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: think a lot more people are looking around in the

146
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: Doge era when we're recognizing how much money is wasted,

147
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: and this conversation becomes even more paramount than it should be,

148
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: which is it's important to all year round and all

149
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: the time. But I think Elon has elevated it. There's

150
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: also some big philosophical distinctions here that I think should

151
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: be made clay. For example, as we have seen from

152
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: the efforts of Elon and Doge, thank you Trump for

153
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: putting them in the game to do this. Every dollar

154
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: of government spending is somehow sacred to democrats. This is

155
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: what we've seen. Have they actually said on anything that

156
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: Doge has done, Look at what Doje has been finding,

157
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: look at some of the ways that your money. You know,

158
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: we talked about the transgender muppet shows in Mongolia and

159
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: all this stuff that's going on. Every dollar the government

160
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: spends is both sacred and it's not enough. There always

161
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: should be you can never cut and there always should

162
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: be more. Meanwhile, the American people who's hours, labor, creativity,

163
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: and effort are what is actually the economy. This is

164
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: something that democrats in the government don't really understand. It's

165
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: not that the government creates the economy. The government if

166
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: it's operating, you know, well, should create the guidely some

167
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: of the guidelines, the rules of the road, and enforcement

168
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: mechanisms for contracts within the economy. But it is all

169
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: of you listening who show up somewhere and build a good,

170
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: provide a service, do something that is worthwhile to society,

171
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: and you get money for that. That is the actual economy,

172
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: the productive economy, and anybody within that who feels like

173
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: the government that every dollar is sacred and never never

174
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: isn't enough spending. If we say that something needs to change,

175
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: that's terrible. Yeah, this, this whole thinking needs to be

176
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: flipped on its head because what are what are you

177
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: really getting for your money? With so many of these things?

178
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: What is really worthwhile? Remember we a state government too.

179
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: The fact that Trump's about to shut the Department of Education,

180
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: right that executive word is gonna come down and people go, oh, no, education,

181
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: the Department of Education has nothing to do with educating

182
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: your children.

183
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 4: It.

184
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: All that does is make it worse and create a

185
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: holding pen for boring bureaucrats to get paid to do nothing.

186
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: And we're wrong about everything. Covid I was reading Buck yesterday,

187
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: to the credit of The New York Times, which has

188
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: suddenly realized Hey, we screwed up everything with COVID. They

189
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: had a story about Oakland area kids Buck. And I've

190
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: met a bunch of these kids as I've been traveling

191
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: around and started to speak on some college campuses. These

192
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: kids in the in many parts of New York State

193
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: and California and Illinois, but this particular kids in Oakland Buck,

194
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: they shut down their schools on like March whatever it was,

195
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: fifteenth of twenty twenty. They never came back to school.

196
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: If you were a junior, I don't know that we

197
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: talk enough about how many kids out there, and I

198
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: know some of you are listening to us right now.

199
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: I remember we had a caller from Utah, a young

200
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: woman who was voting for the first time, eighteen year old,

201
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: talking about how angry she and some of her classmates.

202
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 1: We are us A great call, good memory, but I

203
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: mean it hit me because can you imagine if you're

204
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: out there listening to us right now, think about all

205
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: the things that happened to you when you're sixteen, seventeen,

206
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: and eighteen years old, and how embedded in an integral fashion,

207
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: so much of your life experience happens sixteen seventeen eighteen,

208
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: You remember everybody out there to a largest You'll remember

209
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: things when you're sixteen better than something that happened when

210
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: you're thirty six, forty six, or fifty six, because all

211
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: the years start to run together. It imprints on you

212
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: in an interesting way. Those kids went home in many

213
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: parts of our country in March of twenty twenty, and

214
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: they never came back. You miss your junior year prom

215
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: you miss your junior year spring sports season, you never

216
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: return and buck the article in the New York Times

217
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: talking about these kids came back at the end of

218
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: May for graduation, and they had to be six foot

219
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: distant and they didn't even recognize each other. Because also

220
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: think about how much you change in that year and

221
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: a half. They just all went home and they never

222
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: were in physical location together again. I just I get

223
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: angrier the more I think about it, even though it's

224
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: been five years, and so I think, for my you

225
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: tell me that I have to cut checks. It's one

226
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: thing if I think the government's doing a great job.

227
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: It's another thing if I'm still furious about what they did,

228
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: in particularly the Department of Education, to keep our kids

229
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: from being able to be in school, and they now

230
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: are at the point where I think they're on the

231
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: edge of seeing the Department of Education get officially shut down.

232
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: There have already been cuts made. I know a judge

233
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: is going to reverse it if he hasn't or she

234
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: hasn't already, and they'll also reverse the shutdown. And the

235
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: whole plan here is essentially to have the judicial coup

236
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: in effect for the really Trump's whole term if they

237
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: can get away with, to stop him from doing what

238
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: he should be able to do. But yeah, the Department

239
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: of Education and employees around forty two hundred people until

240
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: the most recent round of cuts. When you look at

241
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: what does it do? What does the Department of Education

242
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: actually do? Everything that it does is either superfluous political

243
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: or could be done by the states much more effectively

244
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: and much more within the federalist system that we have. Right,

245
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: Why should if you live in if you live in Texas,

246
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: why should some bureaucrats in DC be influencing the curriculum

247
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: of your school in Texas? Oh, because they have to

248
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: make sure well, they have to make sure the test

249
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: scores don't actually budge and if anything, get worse over

250
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: the last forty years. Because that's what's happened. It failure

251
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: within government needs to be treated like much more like

252
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: failure within the private sector, where you and I have

253
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: been at places clay where it's a fire sale and

254
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: everyone's getting fired and it stinks, and like you know,

255
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: but that is what happens. And this notion that the

256
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: government is and always will be not just existing as

257
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: it is, but growing and getting more money, that is

258
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: a change in the way that we are governed that

259
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: absolutely needs to happen. And look, we were just talking

260
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: about the tax situation here. IRS is a pain, all right.

261
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm hoping that the IRS gets a nice

262
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: doze out of itself going here. But the IRS is

263
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: a rough agency to have to deal with. And you

264
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: don't need me to remind you the IRS of the

265
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: world's most powerful collection agency. You already know that. Don't

266
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: take them on without having an expert by your side.

267
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,160

00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: We have our friend Ryan Gerdusky joining us at the

294
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: bottom to talk about some data and particularly diving into

295
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: what we learned about college educated white college educated women

296
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: Yesterday Day they iddalize Vladimir Zelenski, which is very strange

297
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: for a lot of women who I think have probably

298
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: very likely very few of them ever seen combat, know

299
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: anything about war or the military, but they're all about Zelenski.

300
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: So the propaganda there has clearly clearly been effective. We'll

301
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: talk to it Ryan about that. Democrats are turning on Schumer,

302
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: which is not a surprise because they're in the panic

303
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: phase of things. You know, this is where in Lord

304
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: of the Flies they all start sharpening sticks and just

305
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: poking each other with them because they don't know what

306
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: else to do and there's no real leadership. And remember

307
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: that's it's a great book. You remember reading The Lord

308
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: of the Flies in the in school back in the day.

309
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: Lord of the Flies Buck is my argument. Yeah, everybody

310
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: has one friend who reads like one book and tries

311
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: to analogize everything that ever happened, you know, like not

312
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: somebody who reads a lot of books. I had a

313
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: buddy who read like one book in his whole life,

314
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: and it was Lord of the Flies. And he would

315
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: try he would try to analogize anything that happened to

316
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: the one book that he had ever read, which was

317
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: Lord of the Flies. Well, that's like a lot of

318
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: people now with Harry Potter, no offense because I know

319
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: you read a lot of other things too, and you're

320
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 1: a Harry Potter guy. But everything is Voldemort, everything is

321
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: the Quidditch, you know. The Harry Potter became so dominant.

322
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: At least there are seven Harry Potters, although a lot

323
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: of people didn't even read them and they just watched

324
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: the movies. I didn't either, So there we go. I

325
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: probably should get on that. Now we have the Democrats

326
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: turning in each other, turning on Schumer, and we've got

327
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: all that happening. But I wanted to spend some time

328
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: here on the war on Tesla and how it factors

329
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: into as well the Democrat approach to the economy. So

330
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: let's just let's look at what's going on here right now.

331
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: The fact that you have these Democrats openly rooting against

332
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: an all American car company, one that you know the

333
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: cars are manufactured here. Maybe they've got the huge facility

334
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: in Texas. I think eighty thousand people work for Tesla Clay,

335
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: eighty thousand jobs. If you believe that climate change is

336
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: any kind of threat, never mind existential, you should think

337
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: that what Tesla's doing. Because remember, it's not just the cars,

338
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: it's the technology. It's autonomous driving, it's the interface, it's

339
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: the battery technology, it's you know, how far are we

340
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 1: from starlink being able to control all the cars and

341
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: maybe we get Vitol so vertical takeoff, you know, and

342
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: landing for meeting the basically flying cars. I mean, things

343
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: are going to get really interesting in our lifetime, folks.

344
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: So that's pretty cool, right well, not if you're Tim Walls,

345
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: who thinks he can beat you up, I might add,

346
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: and I mean you not clay like you listening to

347
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: the Tim Walls thinks he can take you in a fight.

348
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: I think we have legions of great I think we

349
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: have lesions of guys over seventy five that would smoked

350
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: Tim Wall. Did you see our eighty six year old

351
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: listener who emailed me about that is one of the funs.

352
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: I need to read that email at some point, because

353
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: that was a great email. I know the conservative talk

354
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: radio audience and there are guys over seventy five that

355
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: will whoop my ass, So I definitely know they would

356
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 1: take Tim Wallas in a fight. But Caroline Levitt at

357
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: the White House, speaking as the Press Secretary just goes

358
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: after this. I mean, it's astonishing. It's outrageous that he

359
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: is rooting for the failure of a company again because

360
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: Elon wants to cut government waste. Play eight Governor Walt.

361
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 6: Saying last night he frequently checks Tesla's stock and doing

362
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 6: so to quote give me a little boost during the day.

363
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 6: How should Americans view politicians who take pride in the

364
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 6: downfall of an American car company. I think that's quite sad.

365
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 5: But I think Governor Walls unfortunately is living a sad

366
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 5: existence after his devastating defeat on November fifth.

367
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: It is sad, and his defeat was devastating. It's sad, though,

368
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: that somebody would be rooting Ford America. Think about what

369
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: that means. It's not just Tesla, it is a I mean,

370
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: you and I have never sat here been like you

371
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: know what I want. I want Amazon to go bankrupt

372
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: because it employs huge numbers of people. It's an enormously

373
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: valuable company, and it has been incredibly effective. I mean,

374
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: it has saved millions, maybe billions of man hours for people.

375
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: And look, I know Jeff Bezos is more on our

376
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: team now than he used to be. But he's still

377
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: not really on our team. We're all very aware of this,

378
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: but to root for a huge American company, it'd be

379
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 1: like sitting her clay and just saying, you know, I

380
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: want Ford in general Motors to just cease to exist

381
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: and all their people to get fired because I don't

382
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: like what this, I don't like who the CEO voted for.

383
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: There's something deranged about this. I think two things that

384
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: are important here. One, if you truly cared about climate change,

385
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: then the idea that you would want Tesla to fail

386
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: is the most heretical thing that you could possibly say,

387
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm not sure there's any company in America

388
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: that has done more to fight climate change. And this

389
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: is supposed to be, as we talked about yesterday, an

390
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: existential threat to the entire world and to our nation.

391
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: And yet you have Tim Walls out there saying that

392
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: he's checking to see what the stock price is because

393
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: he's rooting for Tesla to fail. That doesn't add up

394
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: if you actually believe that climate change is the existential threat.

395
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: And I think what it forces Democrats to do is

396
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: decide what do we hate more, climate change or Trump?

397
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: And the reality is they hate Trump. More than anything,

398
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: and so the Elon connection to Trump means they root

399
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: against it. Second, choosing whether or not to spend your

400
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: money on products based on whether they share your values

401
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: or not is I think a very rational choice to make.

402
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: I would argue that Tesla actually shares the values of Democrats,

403
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: But leaving that aside, what is not is when, for instance,

404
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: we said, hey, bud Light's got a trans spokesperson maybe

405
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: drinking other beer. We didn't say and throw Molotov cocktails

406
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: at people driving around in Budweiser trucks. What the left

407
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: has done with Elon is not only reject their own

408
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: principles upon which they stand, but actually take it to

409
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: the next step. They're lighting Tesla's on fire everywhere. People

410
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: are getting busted on the Tesla cameras, keying Tesla vehicles

411
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: all over the place, behaving in a fundamentally ridiculous and

412
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: frankly violent manner over this, And to me, it just

413
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: kind of ties in with It's one thing to make

414
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: a decision about a product that you like or don't like.

415
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: We said, hey, you make a great product. The benefit

416
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: typically is even if you disagree with the product, you'll

417
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: probably still consume it. When we say chick fil A,

418
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: there's nobody who I'm sorry, there's nobody who makes a

419
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: better chicken sandwich than Chick fil A. And one of

420
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: the great things about the Chick fil A sandwich, by

421
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: the way, buck is the pickle. Lots of gay people,

422
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: lots of gay people out there rolled into Chick fil

423
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: A like crazy. They're like, ah, you know, I wish

424
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: they supported gay marriage, but man, their chicken nuggets are

425
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: just so good. I'm going to go in and get

426
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: them anyway. Right second, we talked about this yesterday before

427
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: you strict a stroke it strict had it stricken form

428
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: the record, Yes, when you talked about how much your

429
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: wife Carrie loves Costco, I also love Costco. Costco Estate

430
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: committed to DEI I think they're wrong there. They're still

431
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: the best warehouse shopping center option out there, and I

432
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: still really like their samples, and I'm still going to

433
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: spend money at Costco. Their brand is so good, much

434
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: like Chick fil A, that even if they have politics

435
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: that are somewhat different than me, that I'm not going

436
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: to shop I'm going to continue to shop there. Tesla

437
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: makes the best electric vehicle in the world, is my understanding,

438
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert on this, but the people who

439
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: have Tesla's rave about them Buck, and this is one

440
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,239
Speaker 1: reason I'm looking at potentially buying one you're looking at

441
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: potentially buying I want to stand up and say, hey,

442
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: I believe in American exceptionalism. I think Elon Musk is

443
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: an exceptional American capitalist in all facets, and I would

444
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: like to believe that it is rational Americans out there

445
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: who aren't going to punish him because he's trying to

446
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: make the government more efficient Buck in his free time,

447
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: Like he didn't have to do this at all. He's

448
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: just giving back to the country to try to make

449
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: sure that our deficit doesn't drown all of us in

450
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 1: red ink. And you've got a couple of voices weighing

451
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: in on this defending the Remember it's not really about

452
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 1: defending Elon personally. This is about the company. It's about Tesla,

453
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: which is doing great things. It's innovating, it's employing people,

454
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: it's making incredible products. You know, we're there's so much

455
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: about it. It's pure in America. The cars are made

456
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: here in America. It's not some you know, we're not

457
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: We're not having some sweatshop somewhere putting together iPhones, just

458
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: saying again, I wish I could tell you I don't

459
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: have an iPhone. I do, but it's because I don't

460
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: like the other options. And you know, but I'm aware

461
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: of what goes on here, right, it's not always perfect

462
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: to make these make these kinds of choices. Kevin O'Leary, though,

463
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: points out that Tim Walls is a bozo. This is

464
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: mister wonderful cut nine.

465
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 5: I'm talking about Tim Walls and his comments about the

466
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 5: Tesla stock.

467
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: He says, it gives him a boost to see that

468
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: stock going down.

469
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 7: That poor guy didn't check his portfolio and his own

470
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 7: pension plan for state is beyond stupid what he did.

471
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 7: He's talking down a three and a half percent waiting

472
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 7: his own pension plan. I mean, what's the matter with

473
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 7: that guy? He doesn't check the well being of his

474
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 7: own constituency, that's your mind.

475
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm what a bozone. He's pointing out the economic illiteracy

476
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: of somebody like it, Tim Walls. Companies like Tesla are

477
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: what have been moving the market in recent years, which

478
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: means four oh one caves, which means pension plans, the

479
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, the growth of the major American corps is

480
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: lifting up the overall market. And even if you think, oh,

481
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm not in the market, Oh no, you're in the

482
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: market because it affects the cost of borrowing. It affects

483
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: the cost of your rent or your mortgage, or the

484
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: payments on your car, or the credit card interest rates

485
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: that you have. Hey, there is no escaping the market

486
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: if you're operating in America today and to want companies

487
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: whether it's Tesla or in Video or you know, the

488
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: magnificent seven stocks will talk about when you root for

489
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: those to fill, you're rooting actually for the American economy

490
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: to feel pain and there to be less wealth in

491
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: this country. And that's what they're doing because they don't

492
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: like Elon because he's too nice to Trump. And again

493
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: they're also rooting for climate change, which is like at

494
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: its most basic level, did you see this idiot astronaut

495
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: Mark Kelly, Senator from Arizona, went and traded in his

496
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: Tesla and went and got a gas guzzling suv to

497
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: replace it. So what is the story that you support? Right?

498
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 1: I mean again, I think part of being adulthood you

499
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: mentioned the iPhone. Part of being an adult is recognizing

500
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: that everybody's not going to agree with you on every

501
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: single thing and still making decisions that are somewhat rational

502
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to products, right, Like I don't want

503
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: my toilet paper to have a strong position on any

504
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: political issue. I just want them to kind of make

505
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 1: toilet paper that doesn't fail, right, that actually works. And

506
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: I think most Americans I don't want my cat litter

507
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: brand to send me an email about what they think

508
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: about BLM. I think most Americans just want the product

509
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: itself to not take a particular stand. Elon has not

510
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,959
Speaker 1: said that Tesla has a particular stand.

511
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 2: Right.

512
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: This is Elon musk individual donating his time to try

513
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: to make the government more efficient. It isn't actually directly

514
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: connected to Tesla at all. It would be different if

515
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: he had said, Hey, I don't want any Democrat to

516
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: drive my car. I would think that's a really bad move.

517
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm old school buck, I'm like Michael Jordan. Republicans by

518
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: sneakers too, right, Like you should try to appeal to everyone.

519
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: The Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who has been very outspoken

520
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: about a lot of things in the economy. He spoke,

521
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 1: He's straight up said now he's a senior government official,

522
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: cabinet member. Well, I'll let you listen to what he

523
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: said about Tesla play ten.

524
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 4: He's the guy who's going to build the next generation technology.

525
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 4: I think if you want to learn something on this

526
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 4: show tonight by Tesla, it's unbelievable that this guy stock

527
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 4: is this cheap. It'll never be this cheap again. When

528
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 4: people understand the things he's building, the robots he's building,

529
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 4: the technology he's building, people are going to be dreaming

530
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 4: of today and Jesse Waters and thinking, gosh, I should

531
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 4: have bought Elon Musk's stock. I mean, who wouldn't invest

532
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 4: in Elon Musk?

533
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding, all right, So you're calling the bottom.

534
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 4: This is it, Whether today's the bottom or not. I

535
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: tell you what, Elon Musk is probably the best person

536
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 4: to bet up.

537
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: I've ever met. There, you go, pretty strong endorsement. Buck Yeah,

538
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: the Commerce secretary effectively saying, this is the most impressive

539
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: CEO living today in the world. It's a big deal,

540
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: I thought, you know. And and he's trying to help

541
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: the government instead of just running his incredible companies. So yeah,

542
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: says something. And again, I just TESL is not doing anything.

543
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Bud Light did something, right, we didn't say, oh, the

544
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: bud Light CEO did something and therefore you can't drink

545
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: bud Light anymore. Elon Musk runs a company, but he

546
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: has the right to free speech. He has the right

547
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: to make choices that Tesla Corporation is not actually doing

548
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: anything that you would disapprove of. I think that's a

549
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: pretty significant aspect here too. And I want to tell

550
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: you right now. Look, rapid radios they make a tremendous difference.

551
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: Like I was saying earlier this week, got a text

552
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: message from a friend who is up in Montane and

553
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: he was saying he doesn't have great cell phone coverage

554
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: and he loves the fact that he can stay in

555
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: contact with his family through his rapid radios. It makes

556
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: a tremendous difference and is absolutely phenomenal. There's a sense

557

584
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: to the podcast. First though, mister Gradusky, great to have

585
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: you with us. How are you? Yeah, we're good man.

586
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: So so you said, we have a lot of things

587
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: to run by you. But first off, what was your

588
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway when you looked at those numbers that were

589
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: released yesterday where the outlier extraordinaire was white college educated

590
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: women who are apparently obsessed with Zelenski and di.

591
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think that shocked anybody. Those with the

592
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 8: NBC polls that they held from Sunday, They just live.

593
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 8: White men without a college degree and white women with

594
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 8: a college degree don't live in the same country. I mean,

595
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 8: they just fundamentally don't. Men without a white man without

596
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 8: a college degree live in Texas and white women without

597
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 8: a college with a college degree live in like Sweden.

598
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 8: So it's just it's not they don't. They don't have

599
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,719
Speaker 8: the same concerns, they don't have the same issues. It's

600
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 8: it's bizarre. And when I can kind of I can

601
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 8: kind of like sit there and really break it into

602
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 8: an ideology is that one has a very comfortable level

603
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 8: of living and one does not. If your biggest issue

604
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,239
Speaker 8: with Zelenski You're probably not worry that much about your

605
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 8: monthly bills or an illegal alien, you know, attacking you

606
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 8: or breaking to your ranch if you live on the border.

607
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 8: This is just a completely different life that they live.

608
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 8: And yeah, I mean it's it's a totally different world.

609
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 8: And it makes for bad politics because white women with

610
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 8: a college degree who are on the left are getting

611
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 8: more radicalized. They're getting further to the left, and that's

612
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 8: a problem.

613
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: So does the problem get resolved in any way if

614
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: abortion becomes less of a national political issue and more

615
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: of an individual state issue, Because it seems like to me,

616
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: and I'm curious if you buy this thesis Ryan, that

617
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: Democrats have uniquely exploited the fears of educated white women

618
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 1: when it comes to reproductive rights, and that that is

619
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: the motivating factor for many of them, particularly if you're

620
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: in your twenties or thirties. Given the fact that abortion,

621
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: whatever you think about it, the numbers haven't really changed

622
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: that much since Roe v. Wade was overturned. Is the

623
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 1: impact of abortion as a national political issue maybe something

624
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: that could bring these women back to some measure of

625
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: political sanity or not.

626
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 8: No, I don't think that it's abortion. I mean I

627
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,239
Speaker 8: think abortion is part of the question, but part of it,

628
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 8: certainly a large part. But the second the biggest group

629
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 8: of white women to vote for Democrats were white women

630
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 8: in their late twenties early thirties. That would be the

631
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 8: abortion group. The second largest were white women over the

632
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 8: age of seventy but under the age of eighty. So

633
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 8: if it was just an abortion thing.

634
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: So sorry to cut you off. If that's fascinating, what

635
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: do you think is motivating those white women college educated

636
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: seventy to eighty Because again, abortion to your point, I

637
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: don't think they're getting abortions.

638
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're watching MSNBC and Rachel Meadow and they are

639
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 8: BLM and they are listen. The baby boomer generation was

640
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 8: the very it was the second most progressive generation to millennials.

641
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 8: I mean, they are a progressive generation. And if your

642
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 8: entire life is basically politics, which I mean for a

643
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 8: lot of a lot of women in their seventies and

644
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 8: eighties who either a don't have husbands because they've passed

645
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 8: away or they never married, or they don't have children

646
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 8: or grandchildren because their millennial children never had children, politics

647
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 8: becomes a bigger and bigger and bigger issue in your

648
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 8: life and what we saw in the other thing that

649
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 8: came out on Monday, which I what about for the

650
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 8: National papa's news that are David Shore's thing. David Shore's

651
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 8: big piece on data was that people who paid attention

652
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 8: to politics a lot voted very, very heavily to Kamala Harrison.

653
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 8: People who got their news from mainstream media outlets. If

654
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 8: you look at the average CNN or MSNBC viewer, they

655
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 8: are over the age of seventy years old. They are

656
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 8: seven year old, usually college educated or non college but

657
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 8: mostly college educated, white women who obsess about politics. It

658
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 8: is their religion, it's their QBC, it's there, it's the

659
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 8: children that they didn't have, with the grandchildren they didn't have.

660
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 8: It becomes their whole world. And that's why it's become

661
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 8: so toxic. And they also fall in line on every issue.

662
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 8: They're not only for BLM. They have long COVID. They

663
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 8: don't only have long COVID. They need to protect abortion rights.

664
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 8: They don't know any protect abortion rights. They need to

665
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 8: protect trans rights in Angola. You know the USAID every

666
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 8: single you know, tyranny is on the is on the

667
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 8: run every single second of every single day. If you

668
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 8: hear them, it's exhausting to live that way. But that's

669
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 8: the that's the second biggest group outside of like late

670
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 8: twenty early thirties. It's not abortion, it's just straight up ideology.

671
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 8: And perhaps because they live in such comfortable environments suburbs,

672
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 8: wealthy parts of cities, they don't have to worry about

673
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 8: crime or or you know, the fact that they're not

674
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 8: money coming in the next month. They're probably living pretty comfortably.

675
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: So, Ryan, I wanted to ask you about these slew

676
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: of people, including Gail King, Nancy Pelosi and others, who

677
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: are really giving Schumer some rough stuff. Is this just

678
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 1: about the CR that he went along with so that

679
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: the government didn't shut down? I mean we could expect that.

680
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: Or is this going deeper to the power struggle within

681
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party right now? And if so, who is

682
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: angling to take over what feels like a ship that

683
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: has on many leaks over at Democrat land.

684
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 8: Well, I think the fact that not only did he

685
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 8: vote for the CR, but he left vulnerable House Democrats.

686
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 8: I mean they like they all voted against it except

687
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 8: for Jared Golden Up. In main second, you have a

688
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 8: dozen Democrats who live in Trump districts who just voted

689
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 8: to shut down the government and they just vote against

690
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 8: all the things that that means, all the funding for

691
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 8: military and veterans and seniors and everything. And there will

692
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 8: be a campaign commercial coming to every one of those

693
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 8: districts in a few in the next year, and it's

694
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 8: thirteen months or fifteen months saying, you know, insert Democrat

695
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 8: here voted to shut down your government and suspend your

696
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 8: you know, payments to your veterans. That is going to

697
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 8: hurt them and it's going to be so toxic, and

698
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 8: it makes them look like they can't govern. And you know,

699
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 8: they say they can't get anything out of it. They

700
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 8: got the old Biden budget. I mean there was like

701
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 8: thing ten billion in cuts. There's nothing really in cuts substantial,

702
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 8: but it makes them look bad, makes mostly they can't govern.

703
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 8: And who replaces Schumer, I don't know who's going to

704
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 8: It used to be with like dict Urban, he's eighty three,

705
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 8: he's on his way out. It won't be Bernie, I mean,

706
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 8: Elizabeth Warren is seventy six. It has to be somebody

707
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 8: who can bring in a lot of money, because that's

708
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 8: really a big part of the job as being leaders

709
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 8: who can raise a lot of money. It's not like

710
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 8: Kirsten Gillibrand. They have a big, big.

711
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: Issue who is the best? Who is the best fundraiser? Ryan,

712
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 1: because you'd actually know this, And I'm just curious because

713
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: you're who's the best Democrat fundraiser? Now? Who's under sixty five?

714
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 8: The best fundraiser on the Republican side is? I think

715
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure it's Tim Scott for sure on the

716
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 8: Senate side. Tim Scott's the best fundraiser. On the Democratic side,

717
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 8: I believe it's Schumer in his pack. Schumer and his

718
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,479
Speaker 8: packs raised over one hundred million dollars a year.

719
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about the younger generation. Is there anybody

720
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: who's already starting.

721
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,720
Speaker 8: To say AOC for sure? Corey Bush ISOC AOC.

722
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: Yeah.

723
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 8: AOC raises a bucket loads of money. Yeah, and she

724
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 8: usually gives it all away.

725
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: We're talking to Ryan Gerdusky. Ryan, I love the data

726
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: that you bring to bear. Encourage people to check out

727
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 1: your podcast. The data reflects that Trump did not actually

728
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: do better with white voters, right, The white voters from

729
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: like twenty sixteen to twenty twenty four have stayed basically similar,

730
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: and that in fact, moved a little bit Democrat maybe,

731
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: but that the reason why Trump won in all fifty states,

732
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: Black Hispanic Asian support rising. I'm curious is now the

733
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: Trump Yeah? Is that Trump support? You think as we

734
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: look ahead to twenty six and twenty eight, how much

735
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: of that do you think is attributable to Trump himself

736
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: as opposed to the Republican Party. In other words, does

737
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: that movement continue if it's JD. Vance or someone like that,

738
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: or is Trump a unique political unicorn in that respect?

739
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 8: So this is the episode for a Numbers Game podcast

740
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 8: that's coming out next Monday. I'm super excited about this.

741
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 8: Data comes from David Shore, who's a Democrat, a data scientist.

742
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 8: He's brilliant and very very smart his data, and he

743
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 8: did a really deep out of not only like exit polling,

744
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 8: but where people were voting and looking at voting files.

745
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 8: What happened was between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty, Trump

746
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 8: lost about one to two percent of the white vote

747
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 8: in between those two elections. He gained all that back

748
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty four. So there were Trump or Gary

749
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 8: Johnson Biden Trump voters. There was that swing basically all

750
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 8: the people, but for Gary Johnson instead of Hillary and

751
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 8: then voted for Biden, came back to Trump. That was

752
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 8: that was worth one point five percent of his three

753
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 8: point national game. Half came from white people, the other

754
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 8: half came from minorities. He didn't gain that much with blacks,

755
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 8: It was a small amount. The biggest was Black conservatives.

756
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 8: He gained about eight points over the course the last

757
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 8: eight years. But among Hispanic moderates he gained twenty three points.

758
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 8: In twenty sixteen, Hillary won eighty one percent of his

759
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 8: Spanic moderates. Trump won fifty. Sorry, Kamala won fifty eight

760
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 8: percent eight years later, So from eighty one to fifty eight,

761
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 8: the other part was Asian moderates. Hillary one seventy eight,

762
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 8: Kamala one sixty seven, a double digit drop among moderates

763
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 8: in the Asian community. Is this a Trump thing partially,

764
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 8: but it's part of a larger national story. In England

765
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 8: you see the Conservative Party doing better among minorities. In Canada,

766
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 8: you see the Conservatives doing better among minorities. It is

767
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 8: a thing along the entire West where you've started seeing

768
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 8: part of minority, as part of the minority coalition, vote

769
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 8: their ideology instead of their race, which they usually vote

770
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 8: their race over their ideology. Is it a Trump thing,

771
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 8: That's a great question. Actually, Trump was more of a

772
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,439
Speaker 8: deterrent than a supplier of this. The people who don't

773
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 8: trust the Democratic Party is higher than the people who

774
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 8: voted for Trump. Had everybody been voting, voted have forced

775
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 8: to vote. David Shore's estimates that Trump wouldn't have won

776
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 8: by one point seven points percent, he would have won

777
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 8: by five percent. Because when you ask on issues like

778
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 8: everything from like AI to poverty to not only does

779
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 8: the economy and immigration, but student loans, they trust Republicans

780
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 8: way more than Democrats. The only issue Democrats have a

781
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 8: sizeable advantage that people care on, an issue that people

782
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 8: care about is healthcare. That is the only issue that

783
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 8: they have over Republicans On everything else, they have a deep,

784
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 8: deep distrust of the Democratic Party. And I'll say one

785
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,720
Speaker 8: more thing. Voters who got their information from social media

786
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 8: were much more inclined to vote for Trump. The biggest group,

787
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 8: the biggest demographic to vote for Trump. According to the

788
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 8: David Shor data, white men under the age of twenty.

789
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 8: Seventy five percent of white men under twenty voted for Trump.

790
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 8: That is the largest demographic of any group ever, more

791
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 8: than seniors, more than any other racial group. Trump won

792
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 8: a majority of voters under twenty white women, white men,

793
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 8: and non white men. The only group under twenty that

794
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 8: Trump lost to Kamala Harris were non white women.

795
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Stat is amazing. Yeah. Do you think that's COVID.

796
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's yes, it's completely COVID. It is the lockdown generation.

797
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 8: Lockdowns split jen Wiz Zoomers in half. So older Zoomers

798
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 8: who had already gone through the high school experience and

799
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 8: graduated or were even past college, they are much more

800
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 8: liberal than those who were lockdown and misgraduations games. Friends.

801
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 8: They were getting all their news on the Internet, and

802
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 8: they were coming at a time where the BLM riots

803
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 8: were happening, that me too was happening, and there was

804
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 8: a surge of Internet personalities, everyone from Jordan Peterson to

805
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 8: Ben Shapiro to more nefarious characters in the Internet but noneless. Still,

806
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 8: they were being inundated with information from social media, free

807
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 8: of the gates that the regular media provides. And so

808
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 8: the younger generation right now is the most Republicans. Eighteen

809
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 8: to twenty year olds in the last election are the

810
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 8: most Republican generation, according to the David Shore data, which

811
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 8: I do trust, the most republican generation since the greatest

812
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 8: generation the fought World War Two. That is how far

813
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 8: right wing, especially white men under the age of twenty,

814
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 8: the most republican generation we have seen probably in sixty

815
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 8: to seventy years.

848
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. We are joined now

849
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 1: by our good friend Julie Kelly. We were just talking

850
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: earlier in the program at the top of this hour

851
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: about all of the craziness coming from the federal District

852
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: Court judges and Julie, I'll start off with this. I

853
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: said that I am so what optimistic that things are

854
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: going to get better with the judiciary in the years

855
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: ahead because Trump last I mean, Trump won, and I

856
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: think one reason Democrats lost was because they went so political.

857
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 1: You have been covering, and they try to put them

858
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: in prison, and they try to bankrupt him in all

859
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: those things. You've been covering these cases like crazy. We've

860
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: never seen anything like the resistance that Trump is getting

861
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: from the federal district courts right now. Are you optimistic

862
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: in the future or do you think our judicial system

863
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: is just a huge pile of steaming pooh.

864
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,439
Speaker 2: Well, I hate to disagree with you, but I'm going

865
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: to go with the latter, because, of course I have covered,

866
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 2: especially in Washington, DC, and I've talked about with you

867
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 2: guys what's happened with the j six proceedings in Washington

868
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 2: and the case against the president. These judges feel impervious

869
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: and they have not been held accountabul when Chief Justice

870
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 2: sunt rothbert that really inappropriate. I think treatment about impeachment

871
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 2: not his place. Number one. The problem is not that

872
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 2: impeachment is thrown around or overused. The problem is that

873
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: impeachment has not been used. I think fourteen federal judges

874
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 2: have been impeached, only eight have been convicted. Congress has

875
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 2: completely advocated its oversight role of the federal judiciary. So

876
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 2: this is how you get Jim Bossberg, and this is

877
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: how you get time to Chuckkin and Baryl Howell and

878
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 2: these other judges because they know they're not accountable. So

879
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 2: until these judges are held accountable, and not by being

880
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 2: reversed by the Supreme Court. I saw that in the

881
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 2: immunity case. I saw that the Fisher the overturning of

882
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,879
Speaker 2: the fifteen twelve v. Two against j six ers. These

883
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: lower court judges don't care and if if they're Democrats,

884
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 2: they don't think that the Supreme Court is legitimate anyway.

885
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 2: So this is a serious crisis. This is why the

886
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,399
Speaker 2: public's trust in the federal judiciary is that an all

887
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: time low, and Republicans who are threatening to file articles

888
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 2: and impeach and I think some have been filed, or

889
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 2: to strict jurisdiction from some of the most egregious political

890
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 2: actors on the bench, or simply to shut down the

891
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:20,280
Speaker 2: DC's federal court system, which I've advocated for years strong

892
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 2: measures need to be taken otherwise this is going to

893
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 2: actually help.

894
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: It really bothers me, Julie, to see how much the

895
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: DC Circuit Court is essentially an extra branch of government.

896
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,280
Speaker 1: It's like the failsafe for the deep state. Right, they

897
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: can bring any case they want there, and they know

898
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 1: that unless the Supreme Court steps in, they'll get their way.

899
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: And this is very clear the fact that they didn't.

900
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: I always have to remind people of this that none

901
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: of the j six related individuals were able to get

902
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: a different a different venue for the trial. I think

903
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: even I think Timothy McVay was given a different you

904
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: for his trial from Oklahoma City. If memory serves like

905
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: this is a standard thing in the justice system for

906
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: people if there's considered to be a prejudice jury to

907
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: be able to get it. No one right, No one

908
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: got got the court or got the jurisdiction. The venue

909
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: moved from DC. So that's very troubling some of these

910
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: district judges. Of the stuff that they've come up with,

911
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: the ones that to me are well the turning around

912
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: of the plane with the trend to Ragua guys, that

913
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: seems to be the most egregious. I think to most

914
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: of us, but a couple of other ones jually the judge,

915
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,919
Speaker 1: and you're familiar with these different judges. I know too,

916
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: So that's the thing. You know who these individuals are

917
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: from covering them. The judge who said that you can't

918
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: ban transgenders from serving in the military. And now there's

919
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: a judge that I believe has ordered the DOJ to

920
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 1: return men to a women's prison who say they're transgender,

921
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: Like this is just they're just making up laws.

922
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 2: Now they are, and they're completely undermining. And these are

923
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 2: all related to presidential executive orders. So what you're talking

924
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 2: about is Anna Reeus, who is the first LGBTQ Biden

925
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 2: appointed district court judge in Washington, basically reversing vacating the

926
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:18,280
Speaker 2: President's executive order on transgenders in the military. Royce Lambert,

927
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 2: a regular appointee who I watched just absolutely throw the

928
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: book at Jay six Ers, throwing grandmothers in prison for

929
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 2: fifty seven months on the obstruction count that was later overturned,

930
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 2: and he himself rejecting the President's executive order and ordering

931
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 2: the government US to pay for hormone therapy and transitional

932
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 2: surgery for these transients who are in prison either criminals. Right,

933
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 2: We're not just saying, you know, for whoever wants it.

934
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 2: They are in federal custodies. And then of course Jim

935
00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 2: Bossberg ordering verbally for or the Department of Justice and

936
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 2: BHS to return flights that were already in the air

937
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 2: out of US air space, very likely traveling over either

938
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 2: Mexico or Central America, ordering the return of those flights

939
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: carrying known illegal immigrants or suspected Venezuelan terrorist tied to

940
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 2: that DA day. Who do these judges think that they are?

941
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,399
Speaker 2: And so now what Gosburg is doing is I think

942
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,040
Speaker 2: setting up a kintunt trap because he was saying, well,

943
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 2: I made this verbal order, you should have turned the

944
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,399
Speaker 2: planes allow, no planes should have taken off that day

945
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 2: at all, because I was holding this peering And this

946
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 2: is a temporary restraining order that he issued, actually two

947
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 2: of them on Saturday that last fourteen days and again

948
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:53,280
Speaker 2: preventing the President and his team from executing his proclamation

949
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 2: over the weekends of the Alien Enemies Act. So excuse me,

950
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: this is this is very reckless, very destructive, and dangerous.

951
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: No one should be defending what these judges are doing.

952
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 5: Now.

953
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: Of course, all of these are going on a field.

954
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 2: There's oral arguments in the Venezuelan tariffs case on Monday afternoon.

955
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 2: I'll be covering that live. But I'll tell you as

956
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 2: bad as I knew these judges were, and how they

957
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 2: just repeatedly denied, to your point, due process for j Sixers,

958
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 2: refusing in every single case to move those trials out

959
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 2: of Washington, DC to now see them leap to the

960
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 2: rescue and allegedly protect the quote unquote due process rights

961
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:39,959
Speaker 2: of illegal and suspected gang members from Venezuela that pose

962
00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 2: a legitimate threat to this country, not that Jay Sixers did.

963
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 2: It's pretty head spinning hypocrisy.

964
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: Well, we're talking to Julie Kelly. Julie, you mentioned in

965
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: the jan Sixers, and when you first started coming on

966
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: with us four years ago, you were one of the

967
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: very few people out there actually shining a light on

968
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 1: how they were being treated. Given the Democrat obsession with

969
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: January sixth and the years that they spent on it,

970
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 1: are you somewhat surprised that Trump came in immediately pardoned

971
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: to every January sixer and the story just vanished. I mean,

972
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: isn't that kind of interesting? Because there were all these

973
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: arguments out there, Oh, if Trump pardons all the jan

974
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: six ers, this will be a constitutional and he did it,

975
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: and no one even mentions hardly January sixth anymore. Are

976
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,240
Speaker 1: you surprised at how quickly it's kind of vanished?

977
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I will say that I am. As you guys know,

978
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 2: I talked to the President a few days before inauguration day,

979
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,240
Speaker 2: talked to him for at length about what had happened

980
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 2: to the j sixers, you know, the various part in proposals.

981
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: He expressed he was very committed to blanket pardon with

982
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 2: a few exceptions, and that's, of course exactly what he did.

983
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 2: And there was some noise about it for what a

984
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 2: week or ten days, and then has completely disappeared. And

985
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 2: the Democrats want to forget about January sixth. I think

986
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 2: with Jamie Raskin said a few weeks ago, oh can

987
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 2: we stop talking about January sixth already? It's really funny one, right, Yeah,

988
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 2: But yes, I am very surprised, but happily so. And

989
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 2: you know, it's great to see these people starting to

990
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 2: pick up the pieces of their lives. But you know,

991
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 2: I was reading one of the filings today in the

992
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 2: Venezuelan terrorism case, and these illegals have stables of lawyers

993
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 2: defending them and fighting the government on behalf of the

994
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,759
Speaker 2: alleged rights of these illegals have. And it's really disturbing

995
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 2: that we saw none of that for American citizens wrongly

996
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 2: prosecuted for participating in the events of January sixth. I mean,

997
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 2: the co legal judicial system is so upside down.

998
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: Can I just jump in really quick early to say

999
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: that from my understanding from friends in the legal world,

1000
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: if you defend and like if you would defend Osama

1001
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: bin Laden you obviously that won't happen. But if someone

1002
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: could do that, that would be considered a feather in

1003
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: their legal cap going forward. They could say it's like

1004
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: John Adams defending the red Coats, like everyone deserves. But

1005
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: no one felt that way in a lot of the

1006
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,919
Speaker 1: big law firms and in sort of the big law

1007
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 1: world about J six Americans, yeah, absolutely not.

1008
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 2: Most of them relied on public defenders. Some of those

1009
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 2: public defenders were very good, others were terrible, and I

1010
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 2: saw I saw both sides to that. But going back

1011
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 2: to Jeb Bosberg, I was in a sport room in

1012
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 2: December the week before Christmas, he put a woman who

1013
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 2: went inside the capital for nine minutes committed no violence

1014
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 2: charge with four misdemeanors. He put her on trial the

1015
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 2: week before Christmas, before DC jury juror from the city

1016
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 2: that had just voted ninety two percent for Kamala Harris.

1017
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 2: He completely ignored her pleas to postpone the trial and

1018
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 2: colle after the president was inaugurated, knowing that she would

1019
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 2: be getting a pardon because of course she only had misdemeanors,

1020
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 2: and he denied postponing that trial, put her on trial

1021
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 2: for three days. She was immediately convicted by the CDC jury.

1022
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 2: So that that's the mindset of these judges. No due process,

1023
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 2: no protection of constitutional rights for American citizens because they're

1024
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:29,359
Speaker 2: Trump supporters. But he swooped in Saturday as soon as

1025
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 2: he possibly could, ordering claims to be turned around, carrying

1026
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 2: Venezuelan terrorists and now fighting the government for disclosure details

1027
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 2: of those deportations LIFs just I mean, how can you

1028
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 2: how can a government deal with someone like that you

1029
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,320
Speaker 2: can't uh block.

1030
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up about the quality of

1031
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: legal representation, because I remember this was one of the

1032
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: first things we talked about with you, Julie, was you

1033
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,920
Speaker 1: were raising money so that the lawyers could be better.

1034
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 1: John Adams defended the Boston massacre British soldiers in a

1035
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: pre revolutionary America. For people out there that have forgotten,

1036
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: because it used to be a basically foundational belief of

1037
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 1: lawyers that everybody deserved the best possible legal representation, even

1038
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: people who were accused of heinous crimes. And to bucks point,

1039
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: and I know you saw this, Julie, everybody wants to

1040
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 1: line up. I've got friends who worked on nine to

1041
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 1: eleven prosecutions. The people who were involved in flying planes

1042
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: into our buildings have elite representation. Look, I don't begrudge that,

1043
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: because I think that is the American system of justice.

1044
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: But Julie, just to kind of finish here, how many

1045
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: elite lawyers were willing to step forward and volunteer their

1046
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 1: time to rep the Jay sixers.

1047
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 2: There were no elite, white shoe law firms that stepped

1048
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 2: up to defend a single j sixer.

1049
00:57:58,920 --> 00:57:59,360
Speaker 1: Not one.

1050
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 2: Again, there were some very good lawyers, some that were

1051
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 2: retained privately, most that were court appointed or public defenders,

1052
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 2: but not as single. You see all of these law

1053
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 2: firms lined up not just defending these terrorists but fighting

1054
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 2: the Trump administration on anything. These are all big name

1055
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 2: law firms. Now none of them stepped up for American

1056
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 2: citizens because they considered them terrorists. You know, the Venezuelan

1057
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 2: gang members, the tatries all over the place, who have

1058
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 2: suspected ties to TDA. They're not terrorists, they're victims. But

1059
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 2: you walk inside the Capitol for nine minutes, commit no violence,

1060
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: and you have the chief Judge of the DC District

1061
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 2: Court putting you on trial in the most democratic committy

1062
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 2: in the country for a quick conviction. No, none of them.

1063
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 2: That's so shame on these law firms. And this is

1064
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 2: why I'm so glad to see the President doing what

1065
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: he can to vilify these law firms, strip them up

1066
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 2: security clearances, access to documents and buildings, and doing yet

1067
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 2: image to their business, because that's exactly what they deserve.

1068
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,040
Speaker 1: Julie, keep up the good work. Look forward to talking

1069
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: to you again, and thank you for the last four years.

1070
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: How awesome you've been talking to us and keeping us

1071
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 1: updated on all this.

1072
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 2: See you guys are awesome for always having me on.

1073
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. Talk to you soon.

1074
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: Good stuff. Look the Clay and Buck March madness brackets.

1075
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: They're posted steak bed on the line and Good Ranchers. Man,

1076
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: it's a good thing they have good steaks, because Buck

1077
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: is going to have to buy me a great steak

1078
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,200
