1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back into Clay and Buck. And as

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: we were discussing a couple of things going on right now.

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: One is our friend Caroline Levitt. The White House Press

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: is kicking off her first press gathering, you know, first

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: press briefing, So that was the word I was looking for, briefing.

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: So that's going on right now, and we will bring

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: you the highlights of it. I think, Clay, I'm making

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: a prediction here in real time. I could be wrong,

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: but probably not that they're not going to be particularly

10
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: ferocious in that press room today because I mean, look

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: at the media right now.

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 2: Sad, sad.

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: They are not in a position to throw their weight around.

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: A couple of other things that are on the near horizon.

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: We have RFKG Junior's confirmation on Capitol Hill. Senators going

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: to be sitting there doing their thing tomorrow, and I

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: believe Thursday, we have Cash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard, so

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: the HHS secretary, the FBI director, and the Director of

19
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: National Intelligence the DNI all to be voted on play.

20
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: Do you think all three get through? Speaking of predictions,

21
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: I do. I do think all three get through. And

22
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: if they don't, the two that I think are most

23
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: in peril are Robert F. Kennedy Junior and Tulci Gabbard

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: and Buck. The crazy thing about that is they were Democrats.

25
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: It sold just a couple of years ago, so they'll

26
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: be getting shot down by unless. I mean, this is

27
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: a question for you.

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: If we had a truly.

29
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: Honest political class, wouldn't at least a few Democrats have

30
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: to support Tulci Gabbard and or RFK Junior, considering that

31
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: both were Democrats up until about six months ago. I

32
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: think some w I think Tulsi will get some Democrat votes,

33
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: and if that's true, then I think they'll definitely I'll

34
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 3: both get through. But I just question whether they might

35
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: hate Trump so much that they see it as a

36
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: wound to him to oppose even former Democrats that he's

37
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: trying to put in his cabinet.

38
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: It's interesting to me because I think that RFK may

39
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: create the most fireworks up on Capitol Hill. Possibly not

40
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: that he is like that, but I mean, I think

41
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: that there'll be some staunch opposition from some Democrats. They'll

42
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: try to make a scene about it. I think that

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: the one that they should be the most. I hope

44
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: the Democrats are not listening. The one they should be

45
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: the most worried about, in my mind, is probably Cash,

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: just because Cash knows what they've been up to in

47
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: the DOJ. Cash knows about the weaponization of government and

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. So I think that he'll get through.

49
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: But they'll try to create some issues there. Anyway, we

50
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: will bring that to you. I will be on the air,

51
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: I think, because that's all going on tomorrow on the

52
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: next day, so we'll bring you the highlights of that,

53
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: the things you need to know about. But I agree

54
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: with Clay. I think all three will get through. A

55
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: couple they may be close votes, but I think all

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: three will get through. Look, Pete, Hegseth, and we didn't

57
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: mention this. JD vance had to be the tie breaker,

58
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: and JD tweeted that he thought he was done voting

59
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: in the Senate when he took this new job. But

60
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: turns out he was needed to be the tiebreaker for Pete,

61
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: who's hit the ground running over at the Pentagon. Yes, sir,

62
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: just you know I like to look at these markets.

63
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: Tulsey Gabbard on the polymarket gambling markets is now an

64
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: underdog to be confirmed again forty eight percent, basically saying

65
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: it's a coin flip, but two million dollars bet cash

66
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: basically going to sail through. I actually thought that Cash

67
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: might be the one that would end up getting way.

68
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: More opposition than he had as everybody else RFK Junior

69
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: seventy five percent gambling chance of being confirmed. But Tulsi

70
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: now has slipped below fifty to fifty. So that would suggest,

71
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: at least based on people who are trying to read

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: the room and put money out there, that what I

73
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: said might happen Buck, which is a couple of Republicans

74
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 3: might bail on her and then no Democrat support, which

75
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 3: is crazy Buck, because she ran for president as a

76
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: Democrat in twenty twenty, and she was a congresswoman from

77
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 3: Hawaii for a fairly substantial amount of time, and now

78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: Trump wants to put her as a part of his

79
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: cabinet at in a very important role, and every Democrat

80
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: is going to oppose her potentially based on these odds

81
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: because they're just trying to score political points against Trump.

82
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: It's pretty staggering, honestly.

83
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll see how they actually go with all

84
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: of these I'm interesting that interesting to me that Tulci

85
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: Gabbard's the one that's upsetting to them. I also always

86
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: have in the back of my mind the rule that

87
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: the more the Democrats, especially somebody like an Adam Schiff,

88
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: you know, those kinds of Democrats, the more the Democrats

89
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: hate a Republican, the more necessary and clear it is

90
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: that this is who we should have right, the ones

91
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: that they get upset about. I mean, I'm sure Ratcliffe

92
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: is a good guy, but you had, like everybody vote

93
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: for him to be CIA director. I'm not sensing there's

94
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of shaking or rattling of the

95
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: cage over there. Tulci is d and I all of

96
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: a sudden, there's all this opposition. Me makes me think

97
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: that's that's better. So we will follow all that for

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: you will also bringing here shortly if there's any interesting

99
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: exchanges with Caroline Levitt. Gosh, I remember what Caroline was like,

100
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: the youngest person ever run for Congress. We were having

101
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: her on this show. Remember she's running up in New Hampshire.

102
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: She explained Grantite's Granite State grantede staters to us. I

103
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: did not know that that was a thing. And now

104
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: she's White House Press Secretary. What an arc a career

105
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: arc she has had.

106
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: We're very, very proud of her, if I may say so.

107
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: Now back to the immigration issue, MSNBC hosts Alex Witt,

108
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: I love this clay because I want people to know

109
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: just how unrepentant these libs are about all the all

110
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: the propaganda they engage in, all the things they do.

111
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: Here she is correcting Priya Streetdar. I don't know, I've

112
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: never seen her before. She sounds like me trying to

113
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: pronounce the name, by the way, But I think I

114
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: think I hit it. I think I nailed it. I

115
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: think I stuck the landing. But Pria Sridhar used the

116
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: term illegal alien, and the MSNBC host corrected her play it.

117
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 4: I want you guys to take a look at this

118
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 4: video that we saw just this morning from the DEAATF

119
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 4: and Homeland Security investigators out of the Rocky Mountain Division

120
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 4: in Colorado. There you can see a raid that was

121
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 4: conducted this morning. They say that they were targeting event

122
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: as will and gang and they were able to see cash, sees,

123
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 4: cash weapons and actually made an arrest of quote fifty

124
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: illegal aliens right there.

125
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Yep, we call them undocumented immigrants. But that again was

126
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: in the release from the DEA.

127
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: Oh, hold on a second, we call them undocumented immigrants.

128
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: The official legal term now, thank you, President Trump, is

129
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: once again, as it was for our entire adult lives

130
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: until Biden came along, illegal alien.

131
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: So Clay, what is this now? Now? The legal term is.

132
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: Not what the the anchor on the news channel is

133
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: going to use undocumented.

134
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: Also, is that that's like the third iteration. Remember it

135
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: was just you know, it was just illegal immigrants, and then.

136
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: You're seeing this is actually I think significant, Buck, because

137
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: it in many ways is indicative of what they're trying

138
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 3: to do to attack the deportations that Trump is putting

139
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: in place, which so far have been a violent criminals.

140
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: Have you seen a lot of the headlines now are

141
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: trying to say that Trump is deporting immigrants. They're not

142
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: even saying that they are illegal immigrants. There is I

143
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: think a concerted effort to create panic among the legal

144
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: immigrant population of the United States such that they are

145
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: supposed to feel like they may be targeted by these raids,

146
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 3: and I think it's very intentional. And the policing of

147
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 3: language like you just heard on MSNBC, how antiquated. Does

148
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: that start to feel We're going to talk about it

149
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: a little bit later, but I feel like some organizations

150
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: out there are still living in the BLM summer of

151
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: twenty twenty. Do you remember everybody out there, how suddenly

152
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 3: every company that you've ever done business with was emailing

153
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: you about how much they thought black lives matter. I

154
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 3: remember we got an email from our cat litter company,

155
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: and I remember my wife just walking in like, I

156
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 3: don't freaking And it was not freaking that she said,

157
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: but like, I don't freaking care what my cat litter

158
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: company thinks about anything in America other than whether my

159
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: cat litter is going to show up scheduled for the cats.

160
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 3: And I think many of you out there had that

161
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: same reaction as every single company felt compelled to email you.

162
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: And probably whatever company you went to UH and you

163
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: worked at, you probably had brand new HR briefings and

164
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: everything else. And there's a couple of entities out there

165
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: that are refusing to kind of acknowledge that that era

166
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: was a mistake and we're moving into a new era.

167
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: And the MSNBC's of the world are like that, Look,

168
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: I love Costco. Have you seen Costco right now is

169
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 3: saying we're.

170
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: Going to be from Costco a minute ago.

171
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: I hate to say this, Costco is my favorite place

172
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: to shop in America. I'm not sure that I go

173
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: anywhere else to shop in America, but that's why it's

174
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: my favorite. It was just there this weekend. Costco is

175
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: one of the few companies that's saying, hey, we're not

176
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: going to to change our DEI policies at all. And

177
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: many different groups out there are saying to Costco, what

178
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 3: in the world are you talking about? Why wouldn't you

179
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: acknowledge that many of these DEI policies. I give credit

180
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 3: to the University of Michigan buck huge article. They did

181
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: a huge investigation. They spent two hundred and fifty million

182
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 3: dollars I think it was on DEI at the University

183
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: of Michigan. They discovered that doing DEI actually makes people

184
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 3: more racist because it alienates and identity politics stratifies so

185
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 3: many different groups that everyone ends up more racist than

186
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: they were before they started DEI. So, whatever you think

187
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 3: of DEI as it has been applied, it is actually

188
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 3: divided and created more racism than would have existed if

189
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: it had not existed at all, which I think you

190
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: and I would expect because what it does is it

191
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: creates this illusion when you're talking about microaggressions. It creates

192
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: this idea that people don't get along and that you

193
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: should think about race before you think about anything else,

194
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 3: when in reality, most people just treat humans like humans.

195
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: And anyway, the fact that it's now collapsing everywhere is

196
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: I think a really strong sign of reality coming back.

197
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: But there are still places like MSNBC that are staying

198
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 3: committed to that what I would say summer of twenty

199
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: twenty ideal that they tried to to basically take over

200
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: the country with when BLM protests were as send.

201
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: It language circling back to the msmec anchor correcting the

202
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: reporter language that we use matters. I was going to say, also,

203
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: migrant has become the term now even more than undocumented

204
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: that we're all supposed to use. When you don't call

205
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: someone an illegal alien, you are inherently conceding something that

206
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: you shouldn't in the discussion, which is that they have

207
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: done something, they have committed a crime. Look not illegal aliens.

208
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: Not all bad people, get it right, There are a

209
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: lot of them are very nice, very hard working. But

210
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: by changing the language that doesn't mean they should be

211
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: able to stand in the country.

212
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: Though.

213
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: By changing the language, you change the terms of the debate,

214
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: and that is something that they're going to continue to

215
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: do as this rolls on Clay because I think the

216
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: more that people learn about what's really gone on with

217
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: the illegal invasion of the country, the more upset a

218
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: lot of Americans are going to because they've been lied

219
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: to by their own media about it for thirty years now.

220
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: Basically it's been.

221
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: Always the numbers are less than what the numbers actually are.

222
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: The reality of the cost, the reality of the social costs,

223
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: not just financial costs that you know, whether it's all

224
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: the emergency rooms dealing with illegals, or English is the

225
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: second language expense in school systems, all these things that

226
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: are going on. Mostly wondered what do you think Trump

227
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: is going to come forward with? Why isn't English to

228
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: the national language?

229
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 2: Great question?

230
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: Where's the Executive order on English should be the national

231
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: language of the United States? And I know that's an

232
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: argument I would love to have.

233
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: That's a debate. Every every ballot measure, every everything should

234
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: be in English. That's it.

235
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: No doing this in fifteen different languae. Have you ever

236
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: oh of course not. You know lived never lived in

237
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: New York. Play the ballots in New York City. If

238
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: I gave them to you, yeah, you'd get like English Spanish. Friends,

239
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: You'd see you flip it over. You're like, what is that?

240
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

241
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: You have no idea is it? Is it tai is

242
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: it Swahili? I have no idea what these languages are?

243
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: On the back like why why should you be able

244
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: as an American to cast a vote that affects the

245
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: destiny of all of us if you don't speak the

246
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: language that we all communicate in daily across the country,

247
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: and you know this is a problem for me. I

248
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: don't understand why this isn't something that gets more focused.

249
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: I might have to bring this up with the Trump team.

250
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: Uh TNALDA.

251
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: Towers Foundation gave the Chaffins family the gift of a

252
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: mortgage free home. Police officer and Canon handler Jacob Chaffins

253
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: was fatal shot while attempting to serve warrants for domestic

254
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: violence offenses. Jacob had a deep passion for helping others

255
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: and making a difference in his community. His passion for

256
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: his family, community, and his first responder family will always

257
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: be remembered. Jacob's wife, Savannah and his little daughter Paisley

258
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: long for her father's hugs and kisses. But Savannah and

259
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: Paisley are so grateful for the kindness of friends like you.

260
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: Through Tunnel to Towers, the loss and hardship of heroes

261
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: like Jacob is being turned into hope for their families.

262
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: There's so much more to do to say thank you

263
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: to our nation's heroes and their families for their immense

264

Speaker 2: Welcome back into Clay and Back.

273
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: We're getting some interesting, breaking news coming out of the

274
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: right now. Live Press Secretary briefing in the West Wing

275
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: of the White House, Caroline Lovett the one running that

276
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: we will bring you some of it in a moment.

277
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: Here is the Tea's for all of you. We know

278
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: about the drones. Now we've gotten an answer on the drones.

279
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: We've gotten some answers on some other things as well,

280
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: including illegal immigration. But this is now going to be

281
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: I think, a staple of the news cycle for a while,

282
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,119
Speaker 1: clay press briefings where one we will actually get information.

283
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: I feel like so much of the Karine Jean Pierre

284
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: time in the West Wing was just telling us things

285
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: that first of all, wasn't always true, which I know

286
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: they'll say that about the Trump spokesperson as well, but

287
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: also so much of it was about hiding Biden, and

288
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: so you had, you know, Trump handles a lot of

289
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: the big stuff himself. Trump goes forward and does briefing.

290
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: After briefing, takes questions. He's funny, he's laying it out there.

291
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: He's talking policy. The access that we shall have to Trump,

292
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: that everybody will have to Trump compared to what they

293
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: saw before with Biden, I think is going to be

294
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: a huge change that we'll all notice. So the White

295
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: House Press secretary can focus on the day to day

296
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: of policy and everything else. Okay, we've got here the drones.

297
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: Remember that was the big story across the country. This

298
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: is cut thirty one. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt

299
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: on the drones.

300
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: Your answer is, after.

301
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 6: Research and study, the drones that were flying over New

302
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 6: Jersey and large numbers were authorized to be flown by

303
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 6: the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many of

304
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 6: these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that

305
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 6: enjoy flying jones. In meantime, in time, it got worse

306
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 6: due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.

307
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: Basically said, it was nothing to see here. A little

308
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: bit of public hysteria over this clay. That's what the

309
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary is telling us.

310
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 3: I appreciate addressing us directly. Trump said he would look

311
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: into it. I did on this show. I think we

312
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 3: discussed buck that some people, as soon as the hysteria started,

313
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 3: were definitely going to put their drones up in the

314
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: sky more likely than before, to just create a little

315
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 3: bit of mayhem. I'm just going to toss it out there.

316
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of teenagers and twenty somethings

317
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 3: that are particularly adept at using drones, and as soon

318
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: as all the chaos started, there's a little bit of

319
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: mayem a foot with that, so it doesn't surprise me

320
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 3: that that would increase.

321
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: Do you buy it? Do you think this was entirely

322
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 2: normal activity? I do.

323
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: I thought this all along. I'm also the guy who

324
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: tells you there's gonna be nothing interesting the JFK files.

325
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: And I'm going to be right about that too, just

326
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: telling you all right now, putting the marker down.

327
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: Oh Buck, but what about your deep state blah blah. No,

328
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 2: I am correct, there's gonna be nothing.

329
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 3: On Let me say I agree with you on that,

330
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 3: just because the government is not going to incriminate itself

331
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: in government files, correct, which is you know this is

332
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: what everyone's gonna say.

333
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: Well, of course when the just remark my words, when

334
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: the JFK files are released, every's gonna say.

335
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: Well, of course there's nothing in there. They would never

336
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: put it down on paper. It's like, okay, well.

337
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 3: That's what I'm gonna say. Just for the record, that's

338
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 3: exactly what I'm gonna say. I am going to be

339
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: the voice of every man that Buck just gave you.

340
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 3: That's gonna be me, That's what I'm gonna say. I

341
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: do think there's gonna be some revelations in the MLK

342
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: files that are gonna make a lot of people again,

343
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 3: I just don't think that most people know what a

344
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: what's the right word, serial philanderer that.

345
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: The MLK was.

346
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: It has been a it has been a national pastime

347
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: in America to turn Martin Luther King Junior into a

348
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: civil saint, if you will.

349
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: And this does.

350
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: Not you know, this is separate from the righteousness of

351
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: the civil rights movement itself. This is just you know people,

352
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of people will say this about their

353
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: favorite politician too. It's not about are they perfect, It's

354
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: about are they doing the things that I need them

355
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: to do that are the best for the country. But yes,

356
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: I think some of the MLK stuff that comes out

357
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: maybe uh not not be it's gonna make Let me

358
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: put it this way, buck, I actually think I'm cautiously

359
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: optimistic that.

360
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: We have moved through the Oh, you can't celebrate anyone

361
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: because they also have flaws, sometimes big ones in their past,

362
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 3: and therefore you can't celebrate their accomplishments. I think MLK

363
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 3: is going to make it really hard to come after

364
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 3: Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and other people for things

365
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: in their backgrounds, because he is going to have a

366
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: lot of skeletons in his closet on a personal level,

367
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: to your per saying doesn't distract from what he accomplished, right, Well,

368
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: what you're saying is true for someone like you who

369
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 3: approaches this with with with a principle in mind. For

370
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: a lot of people that they just like two standards,

371
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 3: so they could say, well, MLK is perfect and he's

372
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 3: a saint, and Thomas Jefferson was horrible and own slave.

373
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: You know this is not going to change there are

374
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: It's actually going to be even worse than that buck.

375
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 3: It's going to be. I think you're going to hear

376
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 3: this is an attempt by the Trump administration to tear

377
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 3: down a black civil rights hero by tarnishing his legacy

378
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 3: and sharing more of the historical record.

379
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: That's the argue. That's what the al.

380
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 3: Sharptons of the world are going to say, That's what

381
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: the Jesse Jacksons of the world are gonna say. Just

382
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,719
Speaker 3: preparing you, I actually think to your point, for anybody

383
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: who is a principled student of history, I use this

384
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 3: an example of what Taylor Branch America in The King

385
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 3: Year's Incredible Trilogy he wrote, and he just paraphrasing told

386
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: me directly when when he was criticized for writing about

387
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: a lot of these things in his books, he said,

388
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: imagine what you with no flaws in your background should

389
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: be capable of accomplishing, given what Martin Luther King accomplished

390
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: with all of these flaws. And it's a really good

391
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: way to push it back on other people, because we're

392
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 3: all flawed. And I'm cautiously optimistic that we're coming through

393
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: what I would call the puritanical era of history, where

394
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 3: you have to pretend that because somebody screwed something up

395
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: in their life, that they're not worthy of lionization. And

396
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: if we all acknowledge that all of us are screwed up,

397
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: but we can still accomplish great things, then I think

398
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: we're in a better place historically.

399
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: But we'll see how I think we are. I think

400
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: we are for four years. We'll see what happens after that.

401
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, the Empire will strike back at some point.

402
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: But let's get back to Caroline Levity here for a second.

403
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: So Clay, we actually haven't discussed this yet. This is

404
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: getting a lot of attentions inside of DC. The White

405
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: House has paused all federal grants right now. This was

406
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: As of this morning, Washington Post reporting White House Budget

407
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: Office ordering a pause to all grants and loans dispersed

408
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: by the federal government. According to an internal eight internal

409
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: memo sent to agencies, two page document, Acting Director of

410
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: White House OMB instructs federal agencies to temporarily pause all

411
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: activities related to obligations or disbursement of all federal financial assistance. So,

412
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt addressed this just now in the press conference.

413
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: Here's what this has cut thirty play it.

414
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 6: The reason for this is to ensure that every penny

415
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 6: that is going out the door is not conflicting with

416
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 6: the executive orders and actions that this president has taken.

417
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 6: So what does this pause mean. It means no more

418
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 6: funding for illegal DEI programs. It means no more funding

419
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 6: for the Green New scam that has cost American taxpayers

420
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 6: tens of billions of dollars. It means no more funding

421
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 6: for transgenderism and wokeness across our federal bureaucracy and agencies.

422
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 6: No more funding for Green New Deal social engineering policies. Again,

423
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 6: people who are receiving individual as assistant, you will continue

424
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 6: to receive that President Trump is looking out for you

425
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 6: by issuing this pause because he is being good steward

426
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 6: of your taxpayer dollars.

427
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: I think the more people find out Clay about the

428
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 1: kind of money that's being distributed and without anyone even

429
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: paying attention from the federal government again, the better it

430
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: will be for those of us who say, hold on

431
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: a second, what's going on here? Because people have no

432
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: idea how their money is being wasted and it is

433
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: the public's money, I think so.

434
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: And this is why one of the big battles out

435
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 3: there is going to be how much discretionary funding is

436
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 3: actually available when we come back Buck. Caroline Levitt also

437
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 3: went off on what will happen if you enter the

438
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 3: country illegally again. She is making her first White House

439
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: statement as the Press secretary. A big upgrade there for

440
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 3: Karine Jean Pierre. Remember Karine Jean Pierre refused to let

441
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: John Kirby. According to reports, Buck come out on her

442
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: final day at the White House Press Secretary to talk

443
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 3: about the deal in ceasefire in Gaza because she didn't

444
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: want the attention taken away from her. Just to kind

445
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 3: of contextualize this, this is a story. We didn't talk

446
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 3: about it because it was going into the weekend. I

447
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 3: think when the ceasefire was taken care of. I believe

448
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: the final White House Press briefing was on a Friday,

449
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: maybe it was a Thursday, and John Kirby requested the

450
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: ability to come out and brief the White House Press

451
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 3: Corps on that deal which was going to lead to

452
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: the return of hostages and a ceasefire in Gaza, and

453
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 3: reports our Karine Jean Pierre would not allow him to

454
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 3: share the rostrum with her because she wanted all the

455
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: attention on her as the gay black Press secretary to

456
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: go out in a blaze of what she continued to

457
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: considered to be glory. And I don't know they talked

458
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 3: about what she's going to do going forward. Jensaki immediately

459
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: stepped in and took a job at MSNBC. I don't

460
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: know that we know what the expectation here is for

461
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: Karine Jean Pierre coming forward.

462
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that a little bit more.

463
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: I just mentioned that the biggest battleground state in twenty

464
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: twenty six might well be the state of Michigan, and

465
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: that happens to be the state where our friends at

466
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: Rapid Radios are based. We went out to lunch with

467
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 3: them up in DC. Guys have built a great business.

468
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: It's taken off. They said, you guys are responding unlike

469
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 3: anything they've ever seen by a set of rapid radio

470
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 3: walkie talkies. They're game changers, particularly when there's natural disasters

471
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 3: or disruptions of some magnitude out there that make talking

472
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 3: on your cell phones not as reliable. With one button,

473
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 3: you can connect instantly to family and friends all over

474
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 3: the country. Somebody out there in Maine can talk to

475
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: somebody in California. They work on a nationwide LTE network.

476
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 3: Great technology, easy to use, whether it's for important connections

477
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: or just staying in touch with kids or aging. Parents

478
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 3: might not like complicated cell phones. How have I got

479
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 3: young kids? Maybe you don't want them to have access

480
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 3: to a smartphone because of what they can get into,

481
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: But all of us, I bet remember back in the

482
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: day when you might be running around outside, when kids

483
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: used to go outside and play. I remember we had

484
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 3: walkie talkies. They were old school, they didn't work that great,

485
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: but we thought they were the coolest thing ever. Maybe

486
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 3: your kids would like to be able to play with

487
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: these in the yard. Maybe they'll actually get outside in

488
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 3: the house and interact with their friends right now you

Speaker 3: the news out of Michigan. Senator Gary Peters not going

506
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 3: to run. That will be an open Senate seat. Lots

507
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 3: of discussion about who we're going to be the nominees.

508
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 3: Tutor Dixon was the nominee in twenty twenty two for

509
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 3: the governor's race in Michigan. There will also be a

510
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 3: governor's race in twenty twenty six with no incumbent because

511
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: Gretchen Whitmer is terminal limited out. So the state of

512
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 3: Michigan is going to be among all of the battleground

513
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 3: states for twenty twenty six, perhaps the absolute number one

514
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 3: battleground given Senate Seed open, Governor seed open, the House

515
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 3: and the Senate in the state of Michigan both open

516
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 3: as well. All of that coming in twenty twenty six.

517
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 3: We'll talk with Tutor Dixon about that. But I want

518
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: to give you a sense for what the White House

519
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 3: Press briefing room sounded like just a little bit ago.

520
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 3: We have grabbed a couple of cuts for you that

521
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: were emblematic of the exchanges. First, Caroline levitt Is asked

522
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: about the deportation of criminals in the country that is

523
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: going on right now. Here is what that sounded like.

524
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: Cut thirty three airline immigration.

525
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 6: A history of five hundred arrests ices made so far

526
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 6: since President Trump came back into office.

527
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 8: Can you just tell us the numbers how many have

528
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 8: a criminal record versus those who are just in the

529
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 8: country illegally.

530
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 6: All of them because they illegally broke our nation's laws,

531
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 6: and therefore they are criminals as far as this administration goes.

532
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 6: I know the last administration didn't see it that way.

533
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 6: So it's a big culture her shift in our nation

534
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 6: to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal.

535
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 6: But that's exactly what they are, a criminal record and

536
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 6: welcome to the if they broke our nation's laws, Yes

537
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 6: they are criminal.

538
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you Buck. I mean that is pretty phenomenal.

539
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 3: She points out that that was not the perspective of

540
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 3: the Biden White House, that if you entered the country illegally,

541
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 3: that didn't make you a criminal. Well, now that Trump

542
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 3: is there, we are back to yes, you are, in

543
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: fact criminals. A couple of more things that I want

544
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 3: to play for you. This is Caroline Levitt asked, if

545
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 3: she's going to tell the truth, tells the media in

546
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: the room, You legacy media got much of the stories

547
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: here wrong, and therefore you guys need to focus on

548
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: actually telling the truth, turning the tables on them. Here's

549
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: Caroline Levitt on telling the truth from the White House.

550
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 8: Do you hear yourself and your role as speaking on

551
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 8: advocating on behalf of the president or providing the unfurnished

552
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 8: truth that is, you know, not relying, not to off

553
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 8: escape to.

554
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 6: The American fa, to telling the truth from this podium

555
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 6: every single day, I commit to speaking on behalf of

556
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 6: the President of the United States. That is my job.

557
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 6: And I will say it's very easy to speak truth

558
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 6: from this podium when you have a president who is

559
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 6: implementing policies that are wildly popular with the American people.

560
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 6: And that's exactly what this administration is doing. It's correcting

561
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 6: the lies and the wrongs of the past four years,

562
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 6: many of the lies that have been told to your

563
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 6: faces in this very briefing room.

564
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:26,719
Speaker 8: I will not do that.

565
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 6: But since you brought up truth seek I would like

566
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 6: to point out, while I vow to provide the truth

567
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 6: from this podium, we ask that all of you in

568
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 6: this room hold yourselves to that same standard. We know

569
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 6: for a fact there have been lies that have been

570
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 6: pushed by many legacy media outlets in this country about

571
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 6: this president, about his family, and we will.

572
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 8: Not accept that.

573
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 6: We will call you out when we feel that your

574
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 6: reporting is wrong or there is misinformation about this White House.

575
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 6: So yes, I will hold myself to the truth, and

576
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 6: I expect everyone in this room to do the same.

577
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: Pretty good buck. And then one more.

578
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: We already told you she's made news on the new

579
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 3: Jersey drones. But also here is a third. This is

580
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 3: the new line of attack. And I'm kind of stunned

581
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 3: that this is Democrats attack. We've been talking about how

582
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 3: they've felt like they were flat footed and not ready.

583
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer today blamed Donald Trump for the price of eggs.

584
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 3: The new I'm not making this up. Trump has been

585
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 3: in office for about ten days. The new line of

586
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: attack is egg prices are too high, and in ten days,

587
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 3: this is Donald Trump's fault. They tried to trot this

588
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: attack line out. Caroline Levitt was ready for it, put

589
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: it in the upper deck.

590
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 8: Listen, eight prices if skyrocketed since Prisident Trump took office.

591
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 8: So what specifically is he doing to lower those costs?

592
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 6: For Really glad you brought this up, because there is

593
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 6: a lot of reporting out there that is putting the

594
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 6: onus on this White House for the increased cost of eggs.

595
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 6: I would like to point out to each and every

596
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 6: one of you that in twenty twenty four, when Joe

597
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 6: Biden was in the Oval office or upstairs in the

598
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 6: residents sleeping, I'm not so sure, big prices increased sixty

599
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 6: five percent in this country. We also have seen the

600
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 6: cost of everything, not just eggs, bacon, groceries, gasoline have

601
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 6: increased because of the inflationary policies of the last administration.

602
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 6: As far as the egg shortage, what's also contributing to

603
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 6: that is that the Biden administration in the Department of

604
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 6: Agriculture directed the mass killing of more than one hundred

605
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 6: million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken

606
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 6: supply in this country, therefore lack of egg supply, which

607
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 6: is leading to the shortage.

608
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: I love it they have already decided, Clay, it's been

609
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: a week.

610
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 9: Why hasn't Trump fixed everything yet? He said he was

611
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 9: going to bring prices down. I do think you need

612
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 9: to give a little more time than a week, to

613
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 9: be fair. He's done a lot in the first week,

614
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 9: and maybe that alone.

615
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: Has made them start to think that he can do

616
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: everything with the flip of a switch. But it turns

617
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: out to turn prices around, to tame inflation more, to

618
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: do all these things to get you know, whether it's

619
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: manufacturing up. I mean, there's a million things you could

620
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: talk about with the economy. It's going to take some time,

621
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: but I think it's important that the Press secretary here,

622
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt, has decided that she's setting the tone early on,

623
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: which is she's going to speak on behalf of this

624
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: White House, but she's also not going.

625
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: To take any any nonsense.

626
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: And if they are going to be combative, she'll be

627
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: combative skillfully in return.

628
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: And that's that's the way that it should be.

629
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: I think you're going to get a lot of really

630
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: good stuff out of this era of.

631
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: The West Wing.

632
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a particularly fruitful both

633
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: in terms of policy and getting information out, but also

634
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: some viral exchanges that will happen because you know, Clay

635
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: in time, those journals with their press credentials sitting there,

636
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: they see that they are not asking questions of a

637
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: Democrat administration. They they are I bet of the journalists

638
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: in that room who aren't from Fox News, I don't

639
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: know if news maxis, and I'm not sure who's the room,

640
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: but of all the non conservative media outlets in there,

641
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of them voted against Donald Trump.

642
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 2: I mean that's very obvious.

643
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 3: I'm glad you mentioned that because a big part of

644
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 3: this first briefing was her saying, Hey, we want to

645
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,240
Speaker 3: open up the White House press briefings to new media

646
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 3: outlets podcasters. Probably Clay and Buck could get our own

647
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 3: credential to have someone asking questions on our behalf, because

648
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: this audience is bigger than a lot of the audience

649
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 3: is for many of the shows out there or networks

650
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: that have press passes. So I think that's smart as well. Okay,

651
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 3: I wanted to hit you with this, Buck. This was

652
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: from Bill Maher. This was steven A. Smith, and I

653
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: want your take on whether you think this is representative

654
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 3: of the cultural vibe shift we have seen or is

655
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: this just trying to playkate because you recognize the next

656
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 3: four years are going to be different than you expect.

657
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 2: Steven A.

658
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 3: Smith went on with Bill Maher and talked about why

659
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 3: Trump has such appeal.

660
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

661
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 6: The man was.

662
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 10: Impeached twice, he was convicted on thirty four felon accounts,

663
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 10: and the American people still said he's close to the

664
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 10: normal than what we see exactly. That's what they're saying,

665
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 10: He's close to the normal. Why because something that pertains

666
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 10: when you talk about the transgender for community, for example,

667
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 10: and you're talking about the issues that pertain the less

668
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 10: than one percent of the population. The Democratic Party came,

669
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 10: of course, as if that was a priority more so

670
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 10: than the other issues. What voter out there can look

671
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 10: at the Democratic Party at this moment at the time

672
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 10: and say, there's a voice for us, somebody that speaks

673
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 10: for us, that goes up on Capitol Hill and fights

674
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 10: the fights that we want them fighting on our behalf.

675
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 10: They didn't do that, and that's why they're behind a

676
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 10: home and that man is back into the White House.

677
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,800
Speaker 2: That's pretty strong from Steven A. Smith.

678
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: Okay, he is, for those of you who don't know,

679
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 3: probably the highest paid person on ESPN on a daily basis.

680
00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 3: That's Bill Maher's HBO show Real or Hey, I got

681
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 3: a contract coming open, and I'm gonna try to play

682
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: both sides of defense.

683
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: I think it's very easy. Now.

684
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: Remember I was on Bill Maher before the election saying

685
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff, like you people, you libs are insane.

686
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: Year's why. And Bill was actually pretty receptive to it.

687
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: I will say, I think that you know, he had

688
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: seen this coming for some time. I don't think that

689
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: anyone deserves the congratulations for figuring out what many of

690
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: us have known for years and in some cases for decades.

691
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: I think that.

692
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: It's fine, you know, it's like welcome to the party, pal, Fine, Yes,

693
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: come on along. I'm glad that people can see reality.

694
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 1: But I also think we have to remember that saying

695
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: this stuff when it counts and when it's not to

696
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: your interest matters more. It's not that it doesn't matter

697
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 1: at all.

698
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 2: Now.

699
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: I mean with there are still obviously a lot of

700
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: people that still hate Trump, Democrats that voted for Kamala

701
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: somehow maybe even convince themselves that Kamala would be a

702
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: good president, which I think is sortifiably insane. But there

703
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: are those people. But I'm also somebody who sees Bezos

704
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: and Zuckerberg and some of these others who are far

705
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: more open to Trump now, okay, yeah, because he won,

706
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: and I think that it would be very different if

707
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: Trump had lost. I think a lot of these people

708
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: you're seeing who are saying the Democrat Party has gone insane, Yes, Clay,

709
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: it's it's a bit of Monday morning quarterbacking from them.

710
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: I think it's very easy to say it now. So

711
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: is he correct in that stuff?

712
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

713
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: But is that stuff that we've been saying every day

714
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: on the show for all the years.

715
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: We've been doing it constantly, And I think that.

716
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: On some of these things, a lot of people have

717
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: waited until the cultural shift has happened, and now they

718
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: now they want to be congratulated. Now now it's oh yeah,

719
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe like the transgender.

720
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 2: Kids stuff was a little weird.

721
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: Oh okay, So while the rest of us were being

722
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: called monsters and getting death threats, and you.

723
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: Were like, how dare you say this stuff?

724
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: You know, because you're getting big checks from ESPN or whatever. Fine,

725
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: but now that Trump has won and there's a right

726
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: a conservative and right wing resurgence in America, we're supposed

727
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: to be like, oh.

728
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, these guys are amazing.

729
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 10: Look at this.

730
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 2: They figured it out. I'm sorry.

731
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: I again, I'm always glad when people get to the

732
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: right answer, but I don't think that you get a

733
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 1: prize if you're the last.

734
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: One to get the answer.

735
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 3: I was told that I could not do sports television

736
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 3: because I was too outspoken on saying that men pretending

737
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: to be women couldn't play women's sports, and because I

738
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 3: was too outspoken of a Trump supporter. Was That's why

739
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 3: I always think it's interesting buck. People say, oh, that's

740
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 3: one of the top accusations now is oh, you're a grifter.

741
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 3: I would be the worst grifter of all time because

742
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 3: I turned down massive amounts of money to say what

743
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: I actually believed when it was very unpopular to do so.

744
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 3: Trust me, it's a lot easier to make money if

745
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: you said, hey, go get forty different COVID shots. Pfizer

746
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: would have paid me a lot of money, like they

747
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 3: paid Travis Kelsey two shots and one a lot of Maderna,

748
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 3: all these companies, they would have spent a lot of

749
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 3: money if you would have lined up and said something

750
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 3: that you didn't think was true in order to get money.

751
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 3: The people who are grifting are the either they're too

752
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 3: dumb to realize how many lies they're saying, which I

753
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 3: don't think applies For Rachel Maddow, I think she's actually smart.

754
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 3: I think she is legitimately making choices that line her

755
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 3: pocket book and saying things that she knows to be true.

756
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 3: I think that's going on. She gets no criticism for it.

757
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: I think people like Joy Reader are just dumb, like

758
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 3: Sonny Hostin, I don't think she's particularly an intelligent person.

759
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 3: I think if we had Sonny hoston on this program

760
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: for a couple of segments.

761
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 2: Her career would be over.

762
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 3: Because I think she would be so bad at actually

763
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 3: answering questions.

764
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: So I think she's a moron. But the people that

765
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: upset me more are the Rachel Maddows of the world,

766
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,479
Speaker 1: who are intelligent enough to know the lies that they're telling. Yes,

767
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 1: but also, you know, I'd like to hear even from

768
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: mister stephen A, who I know is very successful in

769
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: the sports commentary world. Okay, what are the things that

770
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: Trump is more normal on. Let's talk about this, and

771
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: what are the things when he says no one's speaking

772
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: for us. I mean, I'm paraphrasing, but that was essentially

773
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: the quote. But he's talking about Democrats. What did he

774
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: want them to be saying? What was the thing that

775
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: was supposed to be said?

776
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 2: Right?

777
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: It's all very general right now, and it's general at

778
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: a time when the left is on defense and the

779
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: Democrats have gotten their butts kicked. So I would want

780
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: to have more specificity before I got on this. Look,

781
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: as you all know, I've been you know, RFK Junior.

782
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: Keep him in his lane, folks, you know, keep him

783
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: in the health land and everything else. Because the guy's

784
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: a lifelong Democrat who on a lot of issues, I

785
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: think a lot of conservatives would have a very tough.

786
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 2: Time with him.

787
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 1: But on his specific issue in the cabinet, I think

788
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: there's a very strong case to be made for him, right.

789
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: You know, you got to remember some people they like

790
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this about RFK necessarily, but some people

791
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: like the attention more than they care.

792
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: About the cause. There's a lot of that. There's a

793
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 2: lot of it. Just thrown it out there. You know.

794
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned ESPN play I walked away. I had like

795
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: basically at the time, I was coming to the end

796
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: of a contract, I had like no income stream, and

797
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 1: I told CNN that I would not re sign with them.

798
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: I could have gone, oh you know, I could have

799
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: become like a never Trumper, and they probably would have

800
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: doubled or tripled my salary and I would be on

801
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: CNN and all the cool CNM people will be talking

802
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: about how I'm the one speaking, I'm the good Republican.

803
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 2: But I got to sleep at night, and I got.

804
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 1: And I care about what I do and I care

805
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: about what I say, right, But a lot of people

806
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: don't doesn't matter.

807
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 3: The Lincoln Project is the biggest grift of all all

808
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 3: These people for a decade have been telling you how

809
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 3: awful Trump is and claiming that they're the true Republicans.

810
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 3: They started to pivot when they thought Ron DeSantis was

811
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 3: going to be the nominee, which we told you they would,

812
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 3: because the grift is such that Trump. They have to

813
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 3: keep the gravy train coming, so they had to move

814
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 3: on from Trump at some point.

815
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: I want you to prepare for the future financially. You

816
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: saw what a shock the markets took this week just

817
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: because of some Chinese AI program that came out right deepsee,

818
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: so things can turn in a hurry. And even with

819
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: this administration and all the skill that they bring to bear,

820
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: you want to take the long view. You see our debt,

821
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 1: you see inflation. These are long term challenges that you

822
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: should be prepared for. That's where diversifying into gold and

Speaker 3: of you hanging out with us. We're joined now by

00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 3: one of the stars of the Clay Travis buck Sexton

845
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 3: Show podcast network, mother of four dominant podcasting star. As

846
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 3: I said, Tutor Dixon, formerly the cubinatorial candidate in twenty

847
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 3: twenty two for the state of Michigan. I texted you

848
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 3: as soon as I saw this news, which is probably

849
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 3: way later than you saw the news because I'm not

850
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 3: necessarily as plugged in on Michigan politics as you are.

851
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 3: But Tudor, thanks for coming on right off the top.

852
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 3: We got to ask you open Senate seat. I know

853
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 3: they tried to get you to run for the Senate

854
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 3: this past cycle, but you had family concerns. You had

855
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 3: just run in twenty two Also open governor seat state

856
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 3: of Michigan. I think probably going to be the biggest

857
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 3: battleground in twenty twenty six. Do you have interest in either,

858
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 3: maybe both of those jobs right now? I'm sure people

859
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 3: are coming after you trying to get you to run

860
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 3: for either the Senate or the governor again. When's the

861
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 3: time frame? What's your thought process like on those jobs?

862
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, thanks for having me. I'm certainly looking at

863
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 8: both of them right now. I think it's very interesting.

864
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 8: You were actually one of the first people to text me.

865
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 8: You were quick, so that was good. But I do

866
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 8: think that it's very interesting to see Gary peters on

867
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 8: were at what they ate of the Trump administration make

868
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,479
Speaker 8: the calculation that he can't run for the Senate again.

869
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 8: And I think that has to be a situation where

870
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 8: we step back and look at what people see as

871
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 8: a battleground state of Michigan and say, okay, there is

872
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 8: a real calculation on the Democrat side that this is

873
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 8: not going to be a good year for them, and

874
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,919
Speaker 8: that means that we have many seats we can take

875
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 8: in Michigan. We have congressional seats we can take, We

876
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 8: have a US Senate seat, we have the governor's seat,

877
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 8: we have the attorney general, we have the Secretary of State.

878
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 8: All of these have to be a major calculation for

879
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 8: not just Michigan, but the entire country should be looking

880
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 8: because you don't want another Gretchen Whitmer to be coming

881
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 8: out of the state of Michigan and trying to end

882
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 8: up somewhere in DC. We already had grand Home do that.

883
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 8: You certainly don't want a Katie Holmes situation where you

884
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 8: have her, where you have Jocelyn Benson becoming governor and

885
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 8: then moving on. Michigan is a critical state. People from

886
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 8: Michigan are always coveted in DC because we are a

887
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 8: swing state, and therefore it is critical that everybody in

888
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 8: the nation has their eyes on Michigan in this race,

889
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 8: and we're watching all of these seats and hey, folks,

890
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 8: we need help help us out here. Let's send some

891
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 8: money into Michigan and get these seats won for Republicans.

892
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 2: Hey, Tudor, it's buck.

893
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for being with us and the congrats and all

894
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 1: the success of your podcasts and the podcast network. Why

895
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: did Trump win Michigan? And I think I just think

896
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: that's such an important question to have some of the

897
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: details laid out for because obviously that creates something of

898
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: a template for Senate see governor's race, all these things

899
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 1: we're talking about. So but let's start with that. Why

900
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: did Trump win? Why were the numbers so much better

901
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: for him than a lot of the forecasters on the

902
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: Democrat side.

903
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:43,720
Speaker 2: For sure, we're.

904
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 8: Saying there's so many dynamics in Michigan that made Michigan

905
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 8: winnable in twenty four. Certainly it was the ev mandates

906
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 8: that was just crushing people in the state. It was

907
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 8: crushing the auto workers. The auto workers were feeling like

908
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 8: the Democrats were telling them, we own you, you have

909
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 8: to vote for us. But their jobs were being lost

910
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 8: in the state of Michigan. Since two thousand, we've lost

911
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 8: one hundred and fifty thousand auto jobs in the state

912
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 8: of Michigan. So people were feeling the crunch there and

913
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 8: they knew the EV mandates were crushing us and that

914
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 8: Donald Trump was going to get rid of them. We

915
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 8: also had this situation where our Arab American community feels

916
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 8: very much like they have been abandoned, that their family

917
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 8: values have been abandoned by the Democrats, and they were

918
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 8: suddenly saying, wow, when we hear what Republicans are saying,

919
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 8: we identify with that. And in the past we haven't

920
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 8: come together, but we really did, and we have an

921
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 8: amazing community in our Arab American community here in the

922
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 8: state of Michigan. And then over and above that it's

923
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 8: just public safety. This idea that we had a woman

924
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 8: who was murdered in grund Rapids right before the election

925
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 8: really started to take off by an illegal alien, and

926
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 8: people in Michigan were saying, why is it bad to

927
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 8: say that we should actually have an immigration system that works,

928
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 8: that we can't just let all the bad guys in.

929
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 8: And I really believe that Gary Peters went into the Senate,

930
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 8: he voted against the Lake and Riley Act, and then

931
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 8: he's suddenly had this realization that this is not the

932
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 8: Democrats America anymore. It's not this radical leftist zone that

933
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 8: the Americans have decided they're going to take back America

934
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 8: first values and that is what won Michigan and what

935
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,280
Speaker 8: will win Michigan in twenty six.

936
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 3: All right to you dodged my question as you are

937
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 3: very adept at doing here. You didn't give us a

938
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 3: time frame. But I want to go back into what

939
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 3: Buck said as part of building on this a bit.

940
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 3: I believe you correct me if I'm wrong. The Senate

941
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: seat in Michigan was decided by nineteen thousand votes. I

942
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 3: think it was the closest Republican loss in the entire country.

943
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 3: And then Trump won Michigan by eighty thousand votes. I

944
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 3: think my math is roughly right there. So if I'm correct,

945
00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 3: that's one hundred thousand vote difference, right that Trump was

946
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 3: able to get versus is the Senate candidate losing. What's

947
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 3: the timeframe and do you think Trump and saying hey,

948
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 3: this is my guy, this is my gal can get

949
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 3: in conjunction with running the right campaign, Michigan back the

950
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,959
Speaker 3: governors and or the Senate seat, which would be huge

951
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:17,399
Speaker 3: for the nation.

952
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 8: Absolutely. I mean the timeframe is that's going to have

953
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 8: to be a calculation over the next few weeks. I

954
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 8: think as we see what the other side is doing,

955
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 8: people are going to want to look at polling. There's

956
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 8: going to be a lot of different calculations that go

957
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 8: into when people decide to announce. But honestly, I believe

958
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 8: that it's not just essential that we have Donald Trump

959
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 8: coming in and support us in our states. I'm just

960
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 8: going to be really honest here. You need a candidate

961
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 8: that loves Donald Trump, that is going to bear hug

962
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 8: Donald Trump. And that's been our problem in the past.

963
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 8: In the state of Michigan. We have people that try

964
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 8: to run parallel to him. They arrive at the rallies,

965
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 8: but they don't talk about him. They are not for

966
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 8: America First values, and they are shying away from him.

967
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 8: We need people who have never shied away from Donald Trump,

968
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 8: who understand that Donald Trump is the leader of the

969
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 8: Republican Party and people like what he's doing. And that

970
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 8: is what we want to emulate in the state of Michigan,

971
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 8: and that is who we want to send to Washington,

972
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 8: d C. To make sure they enact Donald Trump's agenda.

973
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 8: And I believe that there's going to be a huge

974
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 8: push from the folks in DC to say we want

975
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 8: that Senate. See, we have to make sure that we

976
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 8: win the Senate back for Donald Trump in the midterms.

977
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 8: This is a huge opportunity to take a seat away

978
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 8: from the Democrats, and this has to be someone who

979
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 8: is fully on board with the President's agenda.

980
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 3: Mayor Pete Peter Pete Boodagg, whose name I probably still

981
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 3: screw up, has moved to Traverse City, Michigan, from from

982
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 3: South ind Indiana, where he was the mayor. What is

983
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 3: the talk, because I'm already seeing it that this is

984
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 3: already being tied up for him to either run for

985
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 3: governor or potentially the Senate.

986
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 2: Is there discussion about that?

987
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 3: Because I think it's important to not only think about

988
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 3: who the Republicans put forward, but also who the Democrats

989
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 3: are going to try to put forward because they think

990
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 3: he's the future of the party. Is there much discussion

991
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,479
Speaker 3: about that so far as you have heard, Well.

992
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's already been articles that have come out saying

993
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 8: that he is strongly considering a run for the Senate,

994
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 8: and I think that's the best news that we could

995
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 8: possibly hear. A complete failure on every front. I mean,

996
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 8: the guy has been a disaster in transportation that we

997
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 8: couldn't have seen more of a problem across the board

998
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 8: when it comes to Transportation secretary than Mayor Pete. I

999
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 8: think he would be a fabulous guy to run against.

1000
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 8: His principles are totally radical, completely out of line with

1001
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 8: Michigan principles. He's a guy that just moved in the state,

1002
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,399
Speaker 8: but's never really lived here, because, let's face it, the

1003
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 8: minute he stepped foot in the state of Michigan, he

1004
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 8: went to Washington, DC. He knows nothing about Michigan, anders

1005
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 8: he knows nothing about our state. Welcome him to run,

1006
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 8: because I think he is easily beaten and then he's done.

1007
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 8: We can just finish his political career and say goodbye

1008
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 8: to old Mayor Pete the failure.

1009
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: What are the top things that you want to see

1010
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,919
Speaker 1: President Trump pursuing in the months ahead? I mean months

1011
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: sounds like forever in Trump world, right. So much has

1012
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: been done just in the first seventy two hours and

1013
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: continuing up to the present. But what would you like

1014
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 1: to see Trump focus in on as it pertains, particularly

1015
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 1: your home state, tutor, I really.

1016
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 8: Want to see manufacturing come back, and I like what

1017
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 8: he's been able to do. I mean, I look at

1018
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 8: what he was able to do in twenty sixteen when

1019
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 8: he went in and you know, and we saw him

1020
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 8: immediately put these tariffs on. I was in the steel

1021
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 8: industry at that point, so I was selling tool and

1022
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 8: die steel. Our steel mill. Just the orders went through

1023
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 8: the roof. I mean, we were tripling orders in the

1024
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 8: district that I was in selling tool and die steel.

1025
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 8: That was amazing. This was a situation where the steel

1026
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 8: mill was saying, you know, we're order to order. We're

1027
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 8: trying to figure out how to get from here to there.

1028
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 8: We don't have. One of the big business opportunities for

1029
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 8: them at that time was frack blocks, and suddenly the

1030
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 8: frack blocks, which was a huge bread and butter kind

1031
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 8: of business, they just went through the roof with Donald

1032
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 8: Trump because he protected that industry. And that's what I

1033
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 8: see being the key for the state of Michigan protect

1034
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 8: our auto industry. You see these I mean, gosh, we've

1035
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 8: got oh well, suddenly we're gonna have flying bicycles and

1036
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 8: all of these electric vehicles coming in from China.

1037
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 5: No.

1038
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 8: Donald Trump has made it clear he will not let

1039
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 8: Chinese vehicles come in and compete with American vehicles, and

1040
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 8: that has got to stay. I mean, we have so

1041
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 8: many week leaders on the Democrat side. We had a

1042
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 8: deal in the state of Michigan where GM was going

1043
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 8: to have to stay in the state of Michigan with

1044
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 8: their headquarters based on the tax credits and the money

1045
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 8: that we were giving them, and Gretchen Wimer said, you

1046
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 8: know what, I'm going to wipe that out of the deal.

1047
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 8: It has almost crushed the state of Michigan. We need

1048
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 8: true leaders that understand negotiations and for the State of

1049
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 8: Michigan will make sure that China does not rob us

1050
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 8: of our automotive industry or manufacturing in general.

1051
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,839

Speaker 8: I mean, it's pretty like a drama, but I talk

Speaker 8: to Billy Bush and he is just awesome and amazing

1062

Speaker 8: and you don't want to miss it. But we I mean,

1063

Speaker 8: and Buck because you guys are amazing and you're the

1068
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 8: best friends that someone can have. But thank you so

1069
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 8: much for having me on today.

1070
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 2: Awesome. Well keep it up.

1071
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 3: We're proud of you killing it on the show and

Speaker 3: you're going to be killing it at in the future.

1074
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 3: Thanks for the time today.

1075
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 8: Thank you.

1076
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 3: That's Tutor Dixon. I'm just going to put it on

1077
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 3: the record, Buck, I think if she is the Senate nominee,

1078
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 3: she will win. I also think if she is the

1079
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 3: gubernatorial nominee, she will win. She's got four young kids.

1080
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 3: She's got to make decisions about what's best for she

1081
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 3: and her family. But I know that they came after

1082
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 3: her hard to run in twenty twenty four for the

1083
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 3: Senate just wasn't the right time. Came down to nineteen

1084
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 3: thousand votes in Michigan. I know that we have a

1085
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 3: huge Michigander population. This is going to be the state

1086
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 3: to watch in twenty twenty six. I'm telling you, it

1087
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 3: is going to be the focal point. And you know

1088
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:54,239
