1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:01,400
Speaker 1: Welcome in.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: We are Rolling Tuesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: I am in Atlanta, Georgia, where there was a pretty

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: phenomenal home run derby last night. For those of you

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: that may have been paying attention, there were not a

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: lot of sports related activities on the program. Tonight is

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: the All Star Game. Buck And in order to get

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: into our Atlanta affiliate studio, which is right by the

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves Stadium, they have a huge red carpet for

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 2: all of the players to walk and I think I

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 2: was able to sneak in because otherwise I don't know

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: how you get into this building. So I had to

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: already begin my day engaging in covert activities to even

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: manage to make it into the studio today. But it

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: is an amazing fun scene in Atlanta as the All

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: Star Game gets closer, appreciate our affiliate down here hosting

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: me in the Atlanta studios. You are in Miami, and

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 2: one of the big questions that has I would say

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: consumed much of the first six months of the Trump

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: two point zero regime is what's going to happen with inflation?

21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: And Trump barely got any attention at all. June we

22
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: had a surplus, that is, we brought in the federal

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: government did more money than we spent, which had not

24
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: happened in years to a large extent, that was occurring

25
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: because of the tariffs that Trump is bringing to bear. Well,

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: we got inflation related numbers that came out earlier this morning,

27
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: and yet again, despite the attempts of the media to

28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: pretend otherwise, the data does not appear to reflect that

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: there is a massive impact of inflation. We've got Treasury

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: Secretary Scott bessent On, and I think this is an

31
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: interesting conversation to have. Was Trump right all long so

32
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: far about the tariffs and the fact that they would

33
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: not have a major inflationary impact so far that largely

34
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 2: appears to be true. Here is Scott Bessont cut one.

35
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't put too much emphasis on one number.

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 3: I think it's the trend. And I think one thing

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: that Wall Street, a lot of economist market in general

38
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: got wrong early on was that tariffs were going to

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: call a substantial price level rise, which just hasn't happened.

40
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Buck, So so far, we are balancing the budget

41
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: in June, which may be a little bit of a

42
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: calendar quirk, but it's still a very impressive marker. We

43
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: are on track for hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs,

44
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: and so far the overall cost of goods has not

45
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: substantially altered. Is it time to say, hey, maybe Trump

46
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: was right? We're also I think it's worth mentioning near

47
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: record all time highs in stock prices as we sit

48
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: here in mid July. We hope that you guys listen

49
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: to us and stayed pat The S and P five

50
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: hundred is near an all time record high, just a

51
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: little bit back off of it that was set recently.

52
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: Was Trump right?

53
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: Is it time to actually have that conversation about whether

54
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: the conventional wisdom was totally wrong about this?

55
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 4: You can certainly say Trump wasn't as wrong as they

56
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: said he would be, and they spoke with certainty on

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 4: these things, the certainty of the consensus, the certainty of

58
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: economists in quote right, All economists know, Clay that tariffs

59
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: are going to be inflationary. All economists know that tariffs

60
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 4: are going to rise prices. Maybe we should ask those

61
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: economists what they really know, because that hasn't happened, and

62
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: to be clear, they said it would happen. It should

63
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: have happened if they were right right away, and that

64
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: is not what has occurred here. So once again we

65
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 4: have a situation where I think quite clearly Trump, just

66
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 4: like on trade with China, decided that he was going

67
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 4: to do something that was against not only the anti

68
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: Trump Democrat everything Trump does as bad so called consensus,

69
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 4: but even some in his own party, even some who

70
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: are truly Trump voters and supporters, were concerned about the

71
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 4: trajectory of this. And meanwhile it looks like it's the

72
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: negative has not been really apparent at all, and the

73
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 4: positive is also on the positive side of a ledger

74
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 4: bigger than was initially anticipated, with one hundred billion dollars

75
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 4: of revenue coming in on the tariffs. You've also got

76
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 4: right inflation two point seven percent in June, which is

77
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 4: in line with expectations. So staying right steady, And I

78
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 4: know that they're now looking for formerly Scott Bessen says

79
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 4: the Treasurer secretary. They're looking for a FED chair to

80
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: replace the current FED chair, which I think is long overdue.

81
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: Well, look, if you told me, hey, what is the

82
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: most bollocked, there's a fun word, the most flummexed.

83
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: Part.

84
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: There's another fun word of our economy right now, I

85
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: would say, and I bet most of you would sign

86
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: off on this, it's mortgage rates. Because as a result

87
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: of Joe Biden's inflation in twenty twenty one, we went

88
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: from about two and a half or three percent mortgage

89
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: rates to around seven percent, and as a result, the

90
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 2: housing market's completely frozen in many respects. And as a

91
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: result of the housing market being frozen, lots of you

92
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: out there might be interested in moving, but because you

93
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: have such incredible mortgages, you're not selling. You're not moving.

94
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: That is the rate many of you out there would

95
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: be interested in buying. But the housing market is frozen,

96
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: and that's seven percent on some of these mortgages. You're

97
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 2: looking around and saying, I just want to rent. This

98
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: is another part where Trump is one hundred percent right.

99
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 2: Our interest rates are too high. They accelerated too rapidly

100
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 2: without hardly any parallels historically, because everything was wrong. Jerome

101
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: Powell completely with Remember he said inflation was transitory. They

102
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: didn't raise rates fast enough. Then they overly raised rates.

103
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: And right now, the cost of borrowing, particularly as it

104
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: pertains to the average home. But also if you're buying

105
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 2: a car, if you are paying credit card debt.

106
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: It's all just.

107
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: Too high and we need I mean, honestly, I think

108
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: probably our interest rates are about two points too high,

109
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: and if they would come back by about two points,

110
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 2: I think you would see an unfreezing of the housing market,

111
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: which would accelerate I think economic recovery and growth in

112
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: a substantial way. To say nothing of business is feeling

113
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: more able to borrow money because the rate at which

114
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: you're having to pay it back is not so high.

115
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: So this all to me is interconnected. Because the reason

116
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: why Jerome Powell has said he has not cut rates

117
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: is he says the tariffs have a substantial inflationary impact.

118
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: We have not seen that so far. I would just say,

119
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: what has Jerome Powell done well such that we should

120
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: be trusting his and other Fed governor's opinions on this

121
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: visa VI Trump, because it seems to me Trump if

122
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: you want to criticize him, you can criticize him for

123
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: lots of things. The guy understands interest rates in real

124
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: estate better than maybe any president we have ever had.

125
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: And I do think that he's right about the fact

126
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: that our economy is not moving as rapidly as otherwise

127
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: would if we could get interest rates correct.

128
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: Look, the economy is something that, unfortunately, I think Trump

129
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 4: is almost a victim of his own success with this.

130
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: There's an expectation, based on the first time Trump was

131
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: in office, when he was still learning a lot more

132
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 4: on the job and figuring out who his team should be,

133
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: there was an expectation once again Trump would have a

134
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: strong economy because he understands business. He understands what will

135
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: get things going for all of us. Right at the

136
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 4: Democrats always focus on making it seem like there's some

137
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 4: class warfare agenda in the Trump economic push, but really

138
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: it and specifically in the big Beautiful Bill by the way,

139
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: they look at what does this mean for the average

140
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 4: American households disposable income, What does this mean for small

141
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: businesses that are still the economic engine of so much

142
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: hiring and so much of a GDP. So I think

143
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 4: that this is so far, so good with Trump. It's

144
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: looking really really strong, and it is a moment in

145
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: time where he's not getting all the credit that I

146
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 4: think he should, or that certainly he would if he

147
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 4: were a Democrat, but that he should even for a

148
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: Republican because there have been some other things on the

149
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 4: agenda lately in the news. And also I think that

150
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 4: Trump is expected to do well on the economy right

151
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 4: the so part of this that's I think a bit

152
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 4: of a break is a break from the consensus or

153
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 4: the expectation is when he does the things that they

154
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 4: say on his own side are going to backfire and

155
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: it actually looks like it's working. That's the part of

156
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 4: this that's pretty remarkable.

157
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 5: Now.

158
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: Yes, And if you want to argue on the flip side,

159
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: they're going to continue to say, oh, the inflation pressure

160
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 2: is coming, the inflation pressure is coming, And so that

161
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 2: is what Jerome Powell basically is arguing.

162
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: With that in mind.

163
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: The prognostication markets, the prediction markets have it fairly likely

164
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: that in September we're going to get a rate cut.

165
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: So that would suggest to me that the Fed is

166
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: not as worried now about inflation somehow skyrocketing based on

167
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: the tariff decisions. And it remains to be seen what

168
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: exactly is going to happen with the tariffs we've got

169
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: now an August first date. There was a panic on

170
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: Liberation Day back in early April. Stock market is sold

171
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: off substantially. I think Trump is emboldened by the recovery

172
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: of the stock market prices to hold the line when

173
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: it comes to trying to put in place good trade

174
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: deals for the country. And I don't think he's pressured

175
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: by the trajectory of the stock market like he might

176
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: have been in April. Now stock prices go up and down.

177
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: They adjust constantly based on existing economic data, so there's

178
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 2: still much to be seen. But I think it's very hard.

179
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 2: We said before the election, Buck this was a three

180
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: prong election. Economy, border crime. Just focused on those three economy.

181
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: Stock prices, all time record high, inflation back down. Your

182
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: paychecks are growing faster than the average inflation rate is,

183
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: which means you have more money in your pocket. That's

184
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: a very good thing. Border shut down, deportation process underway.

185
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: We've never had a more secure border and crime. I

186
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: think this is one story that you and I and

187
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: a lot of people in media have not focused on enough.

188
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: And I don't want to jinx things because summer is

189
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: typically when the overall rates of violent crime increase. Kids

190
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: are out of school, people have more free time, people

191
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: are out in the streets more. They stay out later

192
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 2: because the sun's up longer. We are potentially heading in

193
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five for the lowest national murder rate that

194
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 2: we have seen in a generation. Put cops back on

195
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: the streets, let them do their jobs. The number of

196
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: murders is collapsing all over the country because we now

197
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: have police that are able to do their jobs, because

198
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: we have ICE agents supporting violent predators and criminals. And

199
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: it's not getting very much attention, and I don't want

200
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: to jinx it, but as we enter summer, we're staring

201
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 2: down potentially a generational decline and violent crime in this country.

202
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 4: Yes, it turns out enforcing the law creates more rule

203
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: of law. And also on the deportation issue, you're starting

204
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: to see the ramp up is real. This has been

205
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: promised all long by the Trump administration, and I think

206
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 4: Clay part of the panic that we've seen and the

207
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 4: really ineptitude of Democrats to get their footing going with

208
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 4: any kind of messaging here, is that the more they

209
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: show people these immigration raids, the more clear it becomes

210
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: that a big majority of the American people, including majorities

211
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 4: of forget about political party, Black Americans, Latino Americans, Latino

212
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: Americans majority want illegals supported. So they keep doing this

213
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 4: old playbook of if we just show and we use

214
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: the usual phrases about oh, they're just hard working, and no, actually,

215
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 4: these are people that aren't supposed to be in the country,

216
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: and the American people have decided that that's not going

217
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: to be okay anymore. This is real and Democrats haven't

218
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 4: figured out how they're supposed to message this. The Abrago

219
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: Garcia think was a massive own goal for them. I

220
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 4: think if we all remember that one the guy got

221
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 4: sent to El Savador MS thirteen guy alleged uh and

222
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: sure enough, Clay, Yeah, they're they're running low on areas

223
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 4: to hit the president.

224
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: On no doubt good And by the way, the number

225
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: of Americans that as American citizens getting jobs, a lot

226
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: of those Biden jobs, when you go back and look

227
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: at them, were actually illegal immigrant jobs. The number of

228
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: American jobs that have skyrocketed under Trump is also substantial.

229
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: I think you're starting to see that impact. So all

230
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: of that economy in good place, border in good place,

231
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: crime in good place. That was the three prongs that

232
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: Trump ran on as his twenty twenty four platform, and

233
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 2: so far he's delivering there in a big way. We'll

234
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: break all this down for you. Continue the discussion about

235
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: what's going on in the border and the drama in

236
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 2: the courts for sure. In the meantime, finding good health

237
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: care coverage not only difficult, but it can be time consuming.

238
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: Something this important, you want to feel good about the

239
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: decision you make. If you're in a full time job

240
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: with medical benefits, easy to accept the status quo, but

241
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: maybe you don't have to settle for just any plan.

242
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,560

254
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: I go ahead and write it down.

255
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: What are we sitting at here July fifteenth to twenty

256
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: twenty five. So this is very much in pencil because

257
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: it'll be what about two and a half year's ish

258
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: until the Democrats will have to have a nominee for

259
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, and that presumes that it ends by

260
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: super which will be some time in March of twenty

261
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: twenty eight. But Buck's theory on Gavin Newsom, I don't

262
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: think is a bad one at all. That he's just

263
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: going to power through that he thinks he's the guy,

264
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: the next man up.

265
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: Now there will be other people who run. JB.

266
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, Wes Moore, Josh Shapiro, and we will

267
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: see whether any of them are able to give Newsom

268
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: a real run. But it feels like Newsom is already

269
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: running because he's doing all these conservative in quotation mark podcasts.

270
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: I will point out producer Ali, we invited Gavin Newsom

271
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: on this program a long time ago, right, and he

272
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: has never been willing to come on.

273
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

274
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: Okay, So we have had an open invite back when

275
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: I was when I was sort of enamored of Gavin

276
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: Newsom and I just wanted to have a nice chardonay

277
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: with him. We invited him on the program. He has

278
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: not come on, but he has been doing reach out

279
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: to non additional Democrat audiences. And our friend Sean Ryan,

280
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: who lives just up the road from me in Franklin, Tennessee,

281
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: actually I met him through buck several years ago, right

282
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 2: as he was starting his show. He had Gavin Newsom on,

283
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: and he asked Gavin Newsom a question, Hey, what do

284
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: you think about really young kids? I think he said

285
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: eight year old kids having ginger transition surgeries. Now, this

286
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: is something that I think ninety nine point nine percent

287
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: of parents think is crazy. But it has become Democrat

288
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 2: orthodoxy that if your young child tells you, hey, I

289
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: feel like I'm a girl and you're actually a boy,

290
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: or I feel like a boy and you're actually a girl,

291
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: that you should treat it as an honest opinion and

292
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: not as just Hey, young kids believe in lots of

293
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: things that aren't true and they have very fertile imaginations. No,

294
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: you have to treat it as a very serious thing

295
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: that even might require medical treatment. And Sean Ryan asked

296
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsome about this that, and I want you to

297
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: listen to his totally disjointed Gobbly Goook response because it's

298
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 2: gonna basically be his entire twenty eight campaign. Is all

299
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: the things that I support and my party supports. Well,

300
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: I'm just going to talk and try to confuse you. Listen,

301
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: what about for your values? I mean, is eight years

302
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 2: old too young?

303
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

304
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I now that I have a nine

305
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 5: year old just became nine. Come on, man, I get it.

306
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 5: So those are legit. You know, it's interesting just the

307
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 5: issue of age.

308
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: I haven't.

309
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 5: I'm as I and as someone that's been so focused

310
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 5: on equality broadly LGBT rights, particularly gay marriage. The trans

311
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 5: issue for me is also novel. It's over the last

312
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 5: few years. I'm trying to understand as much as anyone

313
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 5: else thing, trying to understand all of that.

314
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: What you know? That was like the hell? I mean,

315
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: all that stuff, I get it. He gets it. Buck evil?

316
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: Is it evil? Keanu reeves you this is what they're

317
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: gonna do.

318
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: He's gonna say he gets that you guys might not

319
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: agree with it, and it makes it sound like he

320
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: agrees with you.

321
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: But listen to that whole answer.

322
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: He just kind of jumps from one hot button topic

323
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: to another without having to take any sides.

324
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 4: When when we were talking about this clip right before

325
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 4: we came on, I said, Clay, he reminds me of

326
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: the used car salesman who really wants you to like him,

327
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 4: is like, hey, handsome, I'm like, wow, guy who knows

328
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 4: his way around cars, like you must be you must

329
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 4: be like fantastic when you're tracking this thing, right, like,

330
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 4: oh man, love a guy who really you know, sorry,

331
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 4: you got what I'm saying, but won't tell you the

332
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: price of the car. Like the one thing you want

333
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 4: to know, how much do you want for this car?

334
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 4: You can't find out how much the car is. But

335
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 4: he just wants to keep on talking to you and

336
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: getting his hooks into you, so he's going to close

337
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 4: this deal. He didn't answer the question at all. And

338
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 4: this is what whenever Gavin Newsom is about to be courted,

339
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 4: he's like.

340
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 7: Let's just talk about how amazing state of California is.

341
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 7: Love my state, Love my states.

342
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: Like we asked him what you had for breakfast, buddy, Like,

343
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: no one cares about how much you love the state

344
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 4: of California. But his whole thing is going to be

345
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 4: he runs with you know, he runs on charm and

346
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 4: hides the substance or has no substance, but same thing.

347
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: He tries to acknowledge that there is a legitimate reason

348
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 2: that people would care about this, and then dodges all

349
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: actual positions that he's going to take. And again, California

350
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: is a broken in many ways left wing kingdom, and

351
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: in order to run to represent the entire nation, he's

352
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 2: going to have to turn his back on a lot

353
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: of the crazy of California. And the way he's going

354
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 2: to do it is just by trying to acknowledge that

355
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: he understands the concerns, and he's going to pivot and

356
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: say things like, we're all Americans, right. This is a conversation.

357
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: I guarantee you this is where it's headed. This is

358
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 2: a real conversation we should have. What do you mean

359
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: conversation we should have? Do eight year olds deserve to

360
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: have their penises chopped off? Is not really a conversation

361
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 2: to me. I mean, it's a pretty easy answer question.

362
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: And he's going to try to dodge all this. We

363
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: saw it earlier when he went on the Charlie Kirk

364
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: podcast and he tried to say that being male and

365
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: competing in women's sports was completely unfair, and then what

366
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 2: did he do. State of California is fighting right now

367
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: the Trump administration for trying to say, hey, this shouldn't

368
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: be allowed to occur. And there is a dude who

369
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: won track championships in women's high school in California. So

370
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 2: he talks out of both sides of his mouth, which

371
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: is what traditional politicians do. To me, it feels a

372
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 2: bit like Bill Clinton buck, except he doesn't have like

373
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: the actual background of Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton was an

374
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: Arkansas guy who kind of understood things. Gavin Newsom is

375
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: a elite left wing, rich California guy who reps a

376
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: lot of those people and that's his base.

377
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,959
Speaker 4: And you've had the major outflow of people from California,

378
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 4: which I think is one of the most important data

379
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 4: points you can have on whether a state is functioning

380
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 4: at a level of governance that attracts people versus repels them.

381
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 4: And I think that that number, more than anything else,

382
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 4: speaks to the challenges that California has. And to me, again,

383
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 4: it's like people could say, well, the Communists when they

384
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 4: took over in the Soviet Union, they had a vast

385
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 4: military apparatus and they had all this. Well, yeah, of course,

386
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 4: because they took it all. Gavin Newsom didn't build Silicon

387
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 4: Valley and Hollywood as the epicenter of the global entertainment

388
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 4: industry and as the hub for innovation and probably the

389
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 4: greatest wealth creation machinery in the modern era, which is

390
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 4: Silicon Valley that just happened to be in the most

391
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 4: populous state with the best weather, that was built over

392
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 4: a period of decades, and that he has taken. This

393
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: is a lot like to build a Blasio phenomenon in

394
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 4: New York. Those you remember till the Blasio came in.

395
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 4: He's like, what are you talking about? City streets are clean,

396
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 4: crime is low, city's doing great, crime is low. We

397
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 4: kept saying, yeah, but you're messing it up. It's going

398
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: to the wrong direction. And by the time everybody realized

399
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 4: it was like, oh, look, I guess I screwed the

400
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 4: whole thing up. When you take over something that is

401
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 4: wealthy and functions well, that iceberg doesn't melt overnight. Gavin's

402
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 4: melting the iceberg though, or actually he's filling the iceberg

403
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: with illegals. But that's what's going on. Yeah.

404
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 2: Look, I was with a guy from Seattle last night

405
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 2: watching the The Home Run Derby, and I was having

406
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: the conversation to this on a certain extent, like San Francisco, Seattle,

407
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: and Portland, along with other West Coast cities are among

408
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: the most geographically beautiful in the entire countries we've talked

409
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: about on this program. And it's as if the luxury

410
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 2: that they have for all of those beautiful attributes to

411
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 2: their cities, they can otherwise take everything else for granted

412
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: and they don't have to worry about trying to have

413
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: a functional city. And finally, it seems like, at least

414
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: in San Francisco, for instance, people are fed up. I

415
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 2: was reading the interview with the new San Francisco mayor,

416
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 2: who seems reasonable for San Francisco mayors. But to your point,

417
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 2: you know, the Bloomberg era was a great one following Giuliani,

418
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: and now you've got Mom Donnie saying, hey, Bill de

419
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: Blasio did a great job. We need more of this,

420
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: which is actually just eradicating all of the progress that

421
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: you had over a generation in New York City.

422
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 4: It's troubling to see, but it is the reality before us.

423
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 4: So we have to call it out. But yeah, Gavin Newsom,

424
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 4: I think is the Democrat right now in the best

425
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: position to be the voice of that party. You have

426
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: this other tag team of AOC and Bernie Sanders, and

427
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: I know that the lunatic base of the Democrat Party

428
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 4: gets really riled up about those two. And I've said

429
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 4: they're gonna try to build AOC out. They're gonna try.

430
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if that'll be successful. There's some things

431
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 4: that we can't necessarily foresee when the mood of the

432
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 4: country is what's going on between now and the twenty

433
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 4: twenty eight election. But Bernie is too old, and AOC,

434
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 4: I think really is too dumb. Gavin Newsom is somewhere

435
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 4: in the Democrat sweet spot of he can talk the game,

436
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 4: and he can dodge, and he can evade, and you know,

437
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 4: looks the part. Loves talking, loves the sound of his

438
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 4: own voice, loves seeing himself on the screen. So that

439
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 4: may be enough with this Democrat Party. We'll see. And

440
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 4: he does this thing too of you know, reaching across

441
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 4: to the other side. He never actually reaches across to

442
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 4: the other side. One of the big things that was

443
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 4: bizarre to me was was people said when he did

444
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 4: when he did that that other podcast, not Sean show,

445
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: It's Charlie's show. And he said the thing about trans

446
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 4: and how he no, he didn't agree that trans athletes

447
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 4: shouldn't compete against against transgender you know, against women. He

448
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 4: didn't say that. What he said is basically, I feel

449
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 4: your pain or this is.

450
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 2: He said, it's unfair. He said it's unfair, and then

451
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 2: he didn't follow up on it, but.

452
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 4: He left it and left it open. It's unfair to everybody,

453
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 4: is the point. It's unfair to the trans athlete, it's

454
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 4: unfair to the female athlete, it's unfair to society. And

455
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 4: that's just a moral relativism that you're gonna see a

456
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 4: lot of, I think because the Democrats try to shore

457
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 4: up their support by pretending to be something other than

458
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 4: that which they are, which is always the game play, right, Yes,

459
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 4: Democrats to national elections have to pretend not to be Democrats.

460
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: Look at Joe Biden. If you if you were to

461
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 4: line up for this is a perfect example of this.

462
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 4: If you lined up what Joe Biden said and was

463
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 4: promising in the six months before election day in twenty twenty,

464
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 4: and I know is COVID everything else, but you know, healing,

465
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 4: bring the country together, steady, stable hand, all this stuff,

466
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 4: and then the truly left wing lunacy that Biden was

467
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 4: actually the biggest open border in our history. You know,

468
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 4: the trillions of dollars of completely unnecessary spending, the trans

469
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: policy stuff, the mask mandates, the or you know, the

470
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 4: vaccine mandates, and you look up Trump ran and said

471
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 4: I'm going to do these things, and he is doing

472
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 4: those things. Yes, Democrats have to lie to voters to

473
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 4: win enough voters to be in power, and then they

474
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 4: hope we just forget every four years, no doubt.

475
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 2: Economy, border crime, It's as easy as EBC. That's exactly

476
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: what Trump has delivered so far in the first six month.

477
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: That's what we told you the campaign was, and that's

478
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: where his focus has been.

479
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: You know, discovering a box of old family photos or

480
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 4: home videos is like finding a time capsule. You want

481
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 4: to immediately share it with your family, but they're spread

482
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 4: out all over the country, right Well, that's why you

00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: One thing, Clay, that I want to spend some time

511
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 4: on in this hour is the immigrations and customs enforcement situation.

512
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 4: No surprise I am sure to any of you, but

513
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 4: Alligator Alcatraz, as it has been named, not too far

514
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 4: from where I am. I think it would probably be

515
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe a two and.

516
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: A half hour drive from here base. Based on our

517
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: drive into the Everglades. It is a substantial effort. Yeah,

518
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: hard to get to.

519
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 4: We had a very long, arduous drive out to the range,

520
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 4: in fact in the Everglades, but it was it was

521
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: a tough one. But yes, Alligator Alcatraz not too far

522
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 4: from where I currently am. Getting a lot of a

523
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 4: lot of news coverage from Democrats were looking to find

524
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 4: that thing. If you remember, Clay, under the first Trump administration,

525
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 4: it was kids in cages. Remember that that was the thing,

526
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 4: and that was AOC dressed all in white, crying at

527
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 4: the fence. We remember this, and then the Trump administration

528
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 4: was like, all right, fine, we're going to do this,

529
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 4: change the policy on the family separation issue. And the

530
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 4: left saw, oh my gosh, we can emotionally charge this

531
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: and get outcomes that we want. So that was a

532
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 4: thing that was going on. But they haven't found that

533
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: this time around. And as we see, they are demonizing

534
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 4: immigrations and customs enforcement officers and on the side of

535
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: the people that would like to dox them and threaten

536
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 4: them and threaten their families, I mean elected Democrats, because

537
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 4: they want to make sure that everybody can know who

538
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 4: these guys are. They're not so concerned with like and

539
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 4: any other aspect of law enforcement. It seems just this.

540
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 4: They want to make sure, oh, yes that we know

541
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 4: what they're not. If they've done misconduct, No, we just

542
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 4: need to know who they are all the time. Very

543
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 4: strange Over on MSNBC, this is what they're talking about, Clay,

544
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: this has cut sixteen. Rachel Maddow still does stuff over there.

545
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: One day a week, one day a week, one day.

546
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 4: Yes, well, that's such a nice sinecure she has, or

547
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 4: that's such a nice situation. It's like being a tenured

548
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 4: professor and making thirty million dollars a year to show

549
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 4: up and teach her once a week class, a class

550
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 4: that nobody should be paying attention to, a class that

551
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 4: nobody should want to see, but nonetheless they're paying her

552
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 4: that Here she is figuring out. She says, what to

553
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 4: call these Trump holding facilities for illegals? Play sixteen.

554
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 8: In terms of this facility, you use the term internment camp.

555
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 8: And I saw your colleague w Washerman Schultz use that

556
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 8: same phrase. Obviously, that's very evocative language with history in

557
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 8: this country. That is difficult for a lot of people

558
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 8: talk about why you think that term is appropriate. I've

559
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 8: been struggling with that myself, just as a broadcaster, in

560
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 8: terms of how to talk about these things. I mean,

561
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 8: in technical terms, if you've got a facility that's holding

562
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 8: people indefinitely and there's no legal process to get in there,

563
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 8: and there's no legal process to get out, that is

564
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 8: traditionally called a concentration camp or an internment camp.

565
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 4: An internment camp or a concentration camp. Claye, you think

566
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 4: that's gonna fly.

567
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: No, And look, I think the challenge they have is

568
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 2: they're on the wrong side of this issue. And this

569
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: is why I believe in the marketplace of ideas, because

570
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: when Trump's came down the escalator in twenty fifteen and

571
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 2: start arguing for many of the things he's doing now,

572
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: most Americans disagreed with him. And partly that's a function

573
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 2: of how that was how his desires and his goals

574
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: were covered by the media. I don't think there's any

575
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 2: way to sugarcoat that. But over time, I believe Trump

576
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: has convinced the vast majority of Americans that we can't

577
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: have twenty million plus illegals. And the reason I use

578
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: twenty million as the number is because that's the number

579
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: Tom Holman told me a few months ago he believes

580
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 2: are illegally in the country. Now, I would imagine that

581
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: number is beginning to decline slowly. But what you're seeing

582
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: is this is the root cause of a huge amount

583
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: of the problems that we have in this country. Whether

584
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: it's and I know a lot of you have experienced this,

585
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: the number of illegal immigrant children that are being educated

586
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: in American schools, whether it is the number of illegal

587
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: immigrant criminals who are committing violent acts in this country,

588
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: whether it is the number of illegal immigrants who are

589
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: taking jobs that otherwise Americans would not take. You know,

590
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: what I've started to see vanish Buck is the argument of, oh,

591
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 2: these are jobs that Americans won't do. That is such

592
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: an arrogant argument to me, because the entire basis of

593
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 2: commerce is if you pay people enough to do a job,

594
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 2: eventually they will do it. And what was it the

595
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: meat packing facility they got rated in Nebraska, if I'm

596
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: not mistaken, they had to go back and rehire, and

597
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,719
Speaker 2: they were flooded with applicants who were interested in those jobs.

598
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: And so I just look at it as, yes, it

599
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 2: may be sometimes easier, and certainly it's cheaper to go

600
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: with illegal immigrants as workers. But if you eliminate that

601
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: opportunity and force business to have to pay American citizens

602
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: to do the jobs, costs don't go up that much,

603
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: and the end result is actually much more of a

604
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 2: positive in this country, by the way, Number one way,

605
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: I know in New York City, Mom Donnie's uh game

606
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 2: plan here too. He ran to a large extent on

607
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 2: things cost too much, in particular rent. What would rent

608
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 2: be in New York City if we eliminated a million

609
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 2: some audi legals from the rental markets? Basic economics would

610
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: suggest that the cost of living for rent would go

611
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 2: down for all American citizens in New York City, for instance.

612
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 4: I'll tell you thish the hotels. This is a perfect

613
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 4: microcosm to macrocosm example of this. Hotels in New York

614
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 4: City in the era of putting all these you know,

615
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 4: these migrants, these illegals in the New York City hotels

616
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 4: the highest prices you've ever seen in the history of

617
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 4: New York.

618
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 2: And yes, it's crazy what it costs to stay in

619
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: a New York City hotel right now.

620
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,760
Speaker 4: You I mean some of you are gonna, you're gonna,

621
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 4: you know, choke on your crocket coffee when I tell

622
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 4: you this. But you can spend five hundred dollars a

623
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 4: night during the week off season in a New York

624
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 4: City hotel. That's you know nice. But I mean it's

625
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 4: not a lot of places I can get. I can get,

626
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 4: you know, Beach Front up in Jacksonville, like a like

627
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 4: a gorgeous resort for four or five hundred bucks a night.

628
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 4: In New York you can stay in like a midtown Marriott,

629
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 4: you know, like a kind of a standard you know,

630
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 4: business see kind of hotel. And if you want something nice,

631
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 4: oh boy.

632
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 2: Christmas season by our station. This is like December fourteenth

633
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: or whatever it was. I stayed in a hotel room

634
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: where I'm not kidding, I could touch the walls from

635
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: the bed that I was in both sides, right, I mean,

636
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: they barely could fit a bed in this room. I believe,

637
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 2: Producer Ali was the cheapest room that they could find

638
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: in the vicinity of our hotel. Wasn't that room? Like

639
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 2: eight hundred dollars alley? Eight hundred dollars a night one

640
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: night for a room that I could when I laid

641
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 2: on the bed, I could touch the wall on both sides.

642
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 2: And it's because one there is the immigrant angle. The

643
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: other angle, which almost no one talks about. They kill

644
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 2: their B and B in New York City, Yes, right,

645
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 2: So they had a ton of people out there who

646
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 2: were helping to pay their rent by renting out their places.

647
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 2: And by the way, I actually, oh really, I'm I'm

648
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: I'm pretty supportive of the of the airbnb restrictions in

649
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: New York City.

650
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 1: Just oh you are, I am?

651
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, because oh, you don't want to live next door

652
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: to somebody who's renting your place out all the time.

653
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that.

654
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 4: People. It's and the people move into these buildings and

655
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 4: they're you know, there are rules, there are contracts, they

656
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 4: agree to things, and one of the things in a

657
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 4: lot of these buildings, and it's true in a lot

658
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 4: of cities, right if it's true, like your community association,

659
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 4: you agree to certain rules and the rules are for

660
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 4: the benefit of everybody if someone is using their their

661
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 4: you know, one bedroom apartments like an sro a single

662
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 4: romaka Vinci Hotel, which used to have a very bad

663
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 4: rap from the bad days of New York City when

664
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 4: they were like drug dens and stuff like that that

665
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 4: causes problems to the rest of the tenants on the floor.

666
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: I know.

667
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 4: I have a friend, I know somebody who in New

668
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 4: York his building went back and found all of the

669
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 4: postings for Airbnb and everything and suit him for all

670
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 4: of it and one so they take this stuff very seriously.

671
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 2: I do think it's an inter I'm gonna sound like

672
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom now. I do think it's a real debate

673
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: that should be had because I totally understand the idea,

674
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 2: and evidently it's become a huge issue in many different

675
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: primary tourist locations around the country. No one wants to

676
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 2: live full time next to a house that is being

677
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: rented out on AIRBA in the.

678
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 4: Case in the case of New York, I'm really actually

679
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 4: just pro a building or a community can say you

680
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 4: can't do this, and can drop the hammer if you

681
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 4: do it. I actually, I think in the City of

682
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 4: New York they've just decided that in less thirty day,

683
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 4: unless it's a thirty day rental, it's a regulation that

684
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 4: I'm a little more aligned, I think with how you

685
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 4: see it too. But I absolutely believe if you move

686
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 4: into a building and you say and you sign things

687
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 4: that say that this is your primary home and you're

688
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 4: not renting it out, you can't rent it out because

689
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 4: it's a you know, you've agreed to a contract on

690
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 4: entry into that community. Look, we just Clay Well, I'm

691
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 4: now a homeowner for the first time. But some of

692
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 4: you're gonna laugh the stuff you got to do. Some

693
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 4: of you have lawns. I don't even know what that's like.

694
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 4: The homeowners association, they they lay down the law sometimes

695
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 4: on little things. You'd be surprised.

696
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 2: It is, yes that in the homeowners associations in America.

697
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 2: There's many people out there listening right now that are

698
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: ready to pull their hair out over whatever disputes are

699
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: going on there. I do think though, whatever you think

700
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 2: about the Airbnb regulations in New York City and the

701
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 2: fact that the illegals have filled up a lot of

702
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 2: the hotel.

703
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 4: Room, it's about twenty percent. So you can just take

704
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 4: a just a rough figure, would be hotels are all

705
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 4: about twenty percent more expensive they would otherwise be.

706
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: I think it gives you a real good examination of

707
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: basic market economics. Right, if you eliminated illegal immigrants from

708
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 2: the housing market in New York City and only people

709
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: who were legally in the United States or yes, look

710
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 2: on temporary visas, like all those things, right, the cost

711
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 2: for the average property I believe in New York City

712
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 2: would plummet tremendously. And I think it's true in many

713
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 2: different parts of America where housing costs have become prohibitive,

714
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: and it doesn't take a big city for that reality

715
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,359
Speaker 2: to be I mean, it's basic economics. I think jd

716
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: Vance said this in the debate and the host was like, well,

717
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 2: what do you base that on. There's twenty million illegals here.

718
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 2: If we took the twenty million illegals out, that is

719
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: twenty million new properties, residences, apartments, places to live that

720
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 2: would be in the marketplace, which wouldn't have as much demand,

721
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: which would lower the overall cost.

722
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: I would think substantially across the board.

723
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 4: That one of the it was one of the more

724
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 4: brilliant policies. And look, Governor Appitta, Texas does not, I think,

725
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 4: get as much credit as he should for this, or

726
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 4: people don't think about him enough in this regard taking

727
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 4: illegals and saying, you know what, let's send you right

728
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 4: to a sanctuary jurisdiction. They they say they want you.

729
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 4: We're just helping out because in the context of New York,

730
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 4: it's a big enough city that had enough of a

731
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 4: concentration of these illegals that you could really see the

732
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 4: economic impact. You could really see when they were telling,

733
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 4: you know, middle class neighborhoods of queens were shutting down

734
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 4: your local high school, you know, soccer fields or whatever

735
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 4: so we can house these illegals. You can really see

736
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 4: that thirty percent of emergency room visits were from these

737
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 4: migrants who were getting just all their healthcare and emergency rooms,

738
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 4: Like you can see this reality and realize, hold on

739
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 4: a second, if that's from one hundred thousand people in

740
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 4: New York City or one hundred and fifty thousand whatever.

741
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 4: The number ended up being what does twenty million do nationwide? Ah?

742
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 4: And you know I got it. Look there's a congresswoman

743
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 4: down here, Salazar. I saw her, and you know she

744
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 4: represents a heavily Latino South Florida constituency. And I love

745
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 4: my South Florida Venezuela and Cuban Americans. They're fantastic people.

746
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 4: But illegal's gotta go. And she's playing this whole game

747
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 4: of oh, but we need dignity for people, not amnesty,

748
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 4: but dignity. No, she means amnesty. Actually she should just

749
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 4: she should just say what she means. I think she's

750
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 4: actually my congresswoman. She should just say I want amnesty

751
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 4: for people who have been here for more than five

752
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 4: years who are illegal, Like, let's have a conversation like adults.

753
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 4: I would disagree with that, obviously, but don't give me

754
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 4: this thing of I'm fighting for dignity for people. What

755
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 4: does that mean? That's like the Gavin Newsom thing. Totally

756
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 4: Clay Clay hold on a second, Clay, I hear exactly

757
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 4: the perspective you're bringing to this critical discusson. It's like,

758
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 4: what does that mean, it means nothing.

759
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: You're eight year old, Gavin, do you think eight year

760
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 2: old should be able to have their genitals chopped off?

761
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: I totally get the interest. I mean, just like, how

762
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: is this real? Vendsor's no, No, eight year old sh

763
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 2: not be able to have their genitals. This is an

764
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 2: easy question, a big a big no.

765
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 7: But it's like, yeah, It's like you know, when you

766
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 7: ask these questions, it just reminds me of how smart

767
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 7: you are and how we can all be friends until

768
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 7: I'm president and then I'll destroy everything you've ever loved

769
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 7: or hell dear all right. Making our nation's economy grow

770
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 7: again like it was during President Trump's first term is

771
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 7: a huge priority. We're telling you every day the good

772
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 7: things going on here. We're not a gloom and doom show,

773
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 7: well catastrophe. Trump's got this economy. It's going well.

774
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 4: But that's the overall economy for three hundred and fifty

775
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 4: million people, and we still have thirty seven trillion dollars

776
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 4: in debt. We still have major challenges, structural challenges that

777
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 4: are going to cause issues for your savings in the

778
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:53,479
Speaker 4: bank and for the value of the dollar. The value

779
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 4: of the dollar last decade is to client substantially. You

780
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 4: can just check this out yourself. How can you take

781
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 4: action for you? Not way to around for someone else

782
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 4: to help you out from the government side of things.

783
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 4: How can you take action to protect your savings?

784
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 7: Gold?

785
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 4: And the Birch Gold Group is who I trust. Gold

786
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 4: has increased forty percent of value over the last year,

787
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 4: and central banks from around the world, A lot of

788
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 4: the big central banks are stocking up on gold in

789
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 4: record quantities because they know with all the money printing

790
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 4: and the crypto and all the stuff going on, real

791
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 4: assets matter to them. Physical assets and physical gold matters

792
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 4: should matter to you too. It certainly matters to me.

Speaker 4: IRA in physical gold. That's really cool. Great way to

797
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 4: just set it and forget it in that old IRA

798
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,239

Speaker 4: Clay, have you heard of the Rio Reset?

814
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 1: Sounds like a trendy new workout, Buck.

815
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 4: It does, but it's actually a big summit going on

816
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 4: in Brazil. The formal name is BRICKS, which stands for Brazil, Russia, India,

817
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 4: China and South Africa. But they've just added five new members.

818
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: Smart move to stick with Bricks. We know what happens

819
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: when acronyms don't end. They confuse everyone.

820
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 4: Well, that's an understatement. Bricks is a group of emerging

821
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,919
Speaker 4: economies hoping to increase their sway in the global financial order.

822
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: Now that sounds like the plot line of a movie.

823
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 1: I'm listening.

824
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 4: Philip Patrick is our Bruce. He's a precious metal specialist

825
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 4: and a spokesman for the Birch Gold Group. He's on

826
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 4: the ground in Rio getting the whole low down on

827
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 4: what's going on there.

828
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:10,720
Speaker 1: Can he give us some inside intel.

829
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely, he's been there since day one. In fact, a

830
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 4: major theme at the summit is how bricks nations aim

831
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 4: to reduce reliance on the US dollar in global trade.

832
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: Yikes, that doesn't sound good. We got to get Philip

833
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: on the line.

834
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 4: Stat already did and he left the Clay and Buck

835
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 4: audience this message.

836
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 9: The world is moving on from the dollar quietly but steadily.

837
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 9: These nations are making real progress towards reshaping global trade,

838
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 9: and the US dollar is no longer the centerpiece. That

839
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 9: shift doesn't happen overnight, but make no mistake, it's already begun.

840
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,560

855

Speaker 2: to the radio show, if they don't listen to radio

856
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,480

857
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,720
Speaker 2: gone in subscribed. We will have some sort of signature event.

858
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means when we hit one

859
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 2: hundred thousand, which is what I want us to hit.

860
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: We are over eighty thousand. You can search us out

861
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:49,319

Speaker 4: Get over we get over ninety thousand, okay, which would

866
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 4: be another ten thousand. Where we are we get over

867
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 4: ninety thousand, I'm gonna have to I'll do the puppy

00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 4: and for the baby people, which hopefully all of you

00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:19,919
Speaker 4: will be a cute a cute baby.

873
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 2: Yes for sure. All right, let me dive in here,

874
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 2: Buck All Star Game. You may not even really remember this,

875
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 2: because I think it was early in when we were

876
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 2: starting the show. Might have even been right before we

877
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: started the show. Major League Baseball pulled the All Star

878
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 2: Game out of Atlanta. We talked about this yesterday with

879
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 2: Governor Brian Kemp because they said that Stacy Abrams and

880
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 2: Joe Biden were right and that Jim Crow two point zero,

881
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: actually Jim Eagle was what it was described as was necessary,

882
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 2: and they were not allowing minorities to vote. And it's

883
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 2: been proven to be one hundred percent not true because

884
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 2: the number of voters grew in twenty twenty two, and

885
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 2: the number of voters grew in twenty twenty four, and

886
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 2: all the state of Georgia did was strengthen the overall elections.

887
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 2: So a reporter decided that she was going to ask

888
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:17,319
Speaker 2: a question of the straight sports event that was going

889
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 2: on yesterday. The All Star Game preview and this is

890
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 2: absolutely bonkers, but I want to play this for all

891
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 2: of you. This was a mask wearing a mask wearing

892
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 2: reporter to this day, far left wing reporter covering sports,

893
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 2: someone named Jen ramos Iisen writes for a website called Defector,

894
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: and this person decided that they were going to take

895
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 2: over an All Star Game press conference with this question.

896
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: Buck get ready, there is a.

897
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 10: Law on the books here in Atlanta that is a

898
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 10: voter suppression law that Joe Biden has called Jim Crow

899
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 10: of the twenty five century Dave in twenty twenty one

900
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 10: the MLB Network special, you said, it's about being relentless

901
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 10: with our voices and speaking up and this is not

902
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 10: an isolated moment and it needs to be something talked

903
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 10: about on an ongoing basis and being relentless with it.

904
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 10: What happened to being relentless with our voices? And why

905
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 10: are we in Atlanta when this law is still on

906
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 10: the books, And it is a dangerous situation to be

907
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 10: a journalist in Atlanta because Atlanta has attained the most journalists.

908
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 11: By ISA respect and appreciate the way you feel about it.

909
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 11: And I would assume that there was a reason or

910
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 11: some conversation that was had by the MLB in the

911
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 11: state that all parties thought that this would be a

912
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 11: wonderful host city for the All Star Game, and I

913
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 11: think everybody is all very excited to be back in

914
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:43,760
Speaker 11: the beautiful city of Atlanta.

915
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 4: All right.

916
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 2: So that was Pat McAfee trying to answer the question

917
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 2: that was the host of the event.

918
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: He works at ESPN.

919
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 2: Can you believe that is an All Star press conference

920
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 2: book All Star Game for Major League Baseball? And this

921
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 2: crazy left winger says, how are we here when Ice

922
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: is arresting journalists and how in the world can you

923
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,919
Speaker 2: play a game here when basically this Jim Crow law

924
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 2: which has not which has been proven to be a lie,

925
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 2: It is not decreased voting. Actually voting has increased substantially.

926
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: I know.

927
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: I have blown your mind several times about sports media

928
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 2: and how left wing they are. Can you believe that

929
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 2: was the second question at the Major League Baseball All

930
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 2: Star Game event yesterday?

931
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 4: Uh? Okay, So I'm just confused a little bit. Where

932
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 4: was this person? What publication was she from?

933
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: We do something?

934
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, OutKick has a story because they dove in to

935
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 2: figure out like who is this person. That person is

936
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: a writer for a website called Defector. She showed up,

937
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 2: which I guess does some sports. I don't know how

938
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 2: they got credentialed candidly, but I guess they do some sport.

939
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 2: And that person has a wore a mask. So this

940
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 2: is not Some people out there are saying, hey, and I'm.

941
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: One of them.

942
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball should have to issue a public apology

943
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 2: to State of Georgia, to the City of Atlanta, brace

944
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 2: fans for pulling the game out under false pretenses. Right,

945
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 2: they were wrong, and they've never acknowledged it. But that's

946
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 2: not this. This is Hey, this was the right decision.

947
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,399
Speaker 2: Why are you guys back here? And oh, by the way,

948
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 2: how can you even come here when journalists are being

949
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 2: arrested by ice? Well, imagine if you imagine if you

950
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 2: banned Atlanta from holding sporting events and then open yourself

951
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,319
Speaker 2: up to the fact that Atlanta's is as a city,

952
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 2: I believe it's about fifty percent it's a majority black city.

953
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 2: So you're actually harming black people here when you don't

954
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 2: have big events in the city.

955
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 4: So the theory among the left or among some of these

956
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 4: this journalist or whatever, this must be an idea that's

957
00:51:55,520 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 4: out there is let's punish a great American city that

958
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 4: is also majority black, and but we will punish the

959
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 4: city because it is the state of Georgia is racist.

960
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 4: That's that's where that's where we are. We're gonna we're

961
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 4: gonna hurt Atlanta, which is a great city, which is

962
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 4: a majority black city. We're gonna hurt Atlanta because you

963
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 4: want to show that we disagree with the law in

964
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 4: the state of Georgia. Like, I don't even know how

965
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 4: that holds together. I mean, put aside that the whole

966
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 4: thing is absurd and that actually there's been greater black

967
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 4: voter turnout than ever before, and there is no voter

968
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 4: suppression law in Georgia, and that's all a lie, and

969
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 4: the statistics show about it. But this is, you know, Clay,

970
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 4: some people just want to be mad about things. And

971
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 4: I guess this is This journalist had a mask on.

972
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 4: Did you tell me that too.

973
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, she had a mask on.

974
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 2: And Ali Defector is an employee owned sports and culture

975
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 2: website brought to you by the former staffers of dead Spin.

976
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 4: Oh okay, commun evil communists. She's an evil communist communists.

977
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 4: I know it used to work there, right, that was,

978
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 4: but well back in the day. For this is taking

979
00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 4: people back into the history of the Internet. Back in

980
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 4: like eight oh nine when I was there, dead Spin

981
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 4: was just kind of a bro culture website, like, hey,

982
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 4: let's have fun. Let's kind of laugh about sports. Their

983
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 4: trajectory from sports are fun. Let's laugh about them and

984
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 4: like them more.

985
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 2: To now this defector site, which is a spin off

986
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 2: of dead Spin too, We're going to send an employee

987
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 2: in a mask because she's worried about COVID. I guess

988
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 2: to grill Major League Baseball about. I mean, there are

989
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 2: so many people whose brains have been broken that this

990
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 2: could be allowed to have occurred. Is Actually it's a

991
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 2: fascinating story to kind of look at the way they

992
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 2: took over the culture of sport through sports media members

993
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 2: who are far more left wing than the average fan,

994
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 2: and allowed those sports media members to terrorize so many

995
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 2: people from speaking out that we really got to the

996
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 2: point where dudes are winning women's championships. I don't think

997
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 2: it's coincidental that they tried to take over the culture

998
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 2: and they're still trying.

999
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 4: I mean, look, just to be clear, I also could

1000
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 4: tell stories here. Do you know that the Huffington Post,

1001
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 4: because the media landscape was very different. You were saying

1002
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 4: dead Spin was different when you were there, right, you

1003
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 4: know that huff Post Live used to invite me on

1004
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 4: It doesn't surprise me live as a conservative. It happened

1005
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 4: a couple of times because they thought they were like,

1006
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 4: they're like, well you're you may be a conservative, but

1007
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 4: you're smart. That was always the backhanded thing they would

1008
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 4: say to me, like the different hosts that would have

1009
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 4: me on, And I was like, well a lot of

1010
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 4: us are smart. I think we're smarter than you guys are.

1011
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 4: But anyway, put that aside. Huff Post Live, do you

1012
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 4: remember the site Mike mic Mike dot com. I probably, yeah,

1013
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 4: I do, vegue, I do vaguely. I do vaguely remember

1014
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 4: that site. They they brought me in because they wanted

1015
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 4: alternate voices and they talked to me about writing a

1016
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 4: column for them. This is like, again, this would have

1017
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 4: been when you were were were Dead's when you were

1018
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 4: twenty eleven or something or twenty ten or how far back?

1019
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 2: Oh even you? I mean the site launched. I think

1020
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,040
Speaker 2: I was there in like eight oh okay, I was

1021
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 2: very early, still in my twenties.

1022
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:08,759
Speaker 4: So I'm saying when I when I started doing this stuff,

1023
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 4: which was twenty eleven, even I was like a HuffPost

1024
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 4: wanted to talk to me, Mike dot Com. I remember

1025
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 4: they asked me for my thoughts on police violence, like

1026
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,239
Speaker 4: what would you run on police funds? And there this

1027
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 4: was the early It was the early days of Ferguson.

1028
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 4: So maybe this was like twenty twelve or twenty eleven,

1029
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 4: I can't remember now. And I was like, you guys,

1030
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 4: I remember being there. I never ended up writing anything

1031
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 4: for them. I remember just thinking. I was like, you

1032
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 4: guys are insane. Yeah, And they had all this venture

1033
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 4: capital funding and everything else, like the people who work

1034
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 4: here are crazy. But there was this game of they

1035
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 4: would have alternate voices and things. The problem is when

1036
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 4: you let and this is my real takeaway for all

1037
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 4: of you're like, why are you telling us this media history?

1038
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 4: No one needs to know. When you let any leftist

1039
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 4: into an entity, as I always say, it is like

1040
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 4: in nature an invasive species, they will they will not

1041
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 4: just multiply, they will multiply and intentionally block out those

1042
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 4: who are not leftists.

1043
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 5: Right.

1044
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:06,880
Speaker 4: So the problem with the European House sparrow. Fun fact

1045
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,360
Speaker 4: for all of you is that the European house sparrow

1046
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:13,360
Speaker 4: not only is very hearty as a species, but also

1047
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 4: will destroy the eggs and the nests of other birds

1048
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 4: so that it will outcompete them in the area. If

1049
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 4: you let a leftist into your media organization, or you

1050
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,919
Speaker 4: let enough leftist get a toe hold, they will take

1051
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 4: it over. This happened at CNN. They will take it

1052
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 4: over and make it completely insane, totally correct. And this

1053
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 4: is something I've been thinking about a lot, because, to

1054
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 4: your point, the culture used to not be like this,

1055
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 4: and I'm hoping that we're going to come out of

1056
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 4: it and return. But I think the only way we

1057
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 4: can do that is by ridiculing stories like these and

1058
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 4: making it so clear where look, if this person wants

1059
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 4: to share her opinion, then write her opinion. But what

1060
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 4: she's trying to do is launder her opinion through more

1061
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 4: faith as people and hold their feet to the fire

1062
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 4: and make them attached.

1063
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 1: To her opinion.

1064
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 2: Right my opinion, I'm speaking as if I was this

1065
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 2: crazy chick. My opinion is that Atlanta should never be

1066
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 2: able to host the All Star Game because they passed

1067
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 2: this voting bill and also because journalists aren't safe because

1068
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 2: the ICE is going to arrest them. Okay, write that opinion,

1069
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 2: don't ask people who are famous to endorse your opinion,

1070
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 2: and turn does that make sense?

1071
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: It's agenda journalism, and I think people see it now.

1072
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 2: But this has been building for a decade or more

1073
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 2: and the goal I think is quite clear. It's to

1074
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 2: try to take over big parts of culture and mold

1075
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 2: them in your direction, as opposed to just let people

1076
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 2: be normal. So I wanted to play that for you

1077
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 2: because I heard it even I was like, oh, the

1078
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 2: second question at the Major League Baseball All Star Game.

1079
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 4: But you also ask yourself, what is what does this

1080
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:53,720
Speaker 4: person even want? So that this is what I meant

1081
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 4: by you're going to punish Atlanta?

1082
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, The tangible result of what her position would

1083
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 2: be would be that a majority black city is not

1084
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 2: able to host a big sporting events.
