1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Welcome in Tuesday edition Clay Travis bock Sexton Show.

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: We have got a fun one headed your way.

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: As we continue to discuss the fallout of Majuro being

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: seized in Venezuela, we are expecting for there to be

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: I believe another another out there of the Tim Walls

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: press conferences as his political career is in shambles. We

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: will discuss all of that with you and more. Will

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: also open up phone lines. We didn't take very many

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: calls your talkbacks as well, to allow you to ask

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the questions that you may have surrounding everything having to

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: do with the Venezuela situation as well as maybe the

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Tim Walls continued fallout because if Venezuela hadn't happened, the

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Minnesota fraud story and the fact that Tim Walls has

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: gone from what two hundred and forty thousand votes away

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: from being vice president a heartbeat away from the presidency

16
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: to basically having his complete political career be over. And

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, Buck on this, well, let's

18
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of dive in. Do you agree with me that

19
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: if Kamala hadn't picked Tim Walls, he probably runs for

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: governor again, gets elected. People don't really pay that much

21
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: attention to the Minnesota fraud situation, just because Minnesota is

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: not typically the focal point of any major national news stories.

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: And yes, the fraud would have still existed, it would

24
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: have been indefensible, but it wouldn't have been out there

25
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: in the public arena to such an extent, and so

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: Tim Walls would have gotten re elected and he would

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: have continued right on with the path that he was

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: already on.

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: Yes, in a twist of irony, the guy who Democrats

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: put forward to be the avatar of American masculinity is

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: losing his political future after one people questioning whether he

32
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: was a good avatar of that masculinity, broadly mocking him.

33
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: And two he is a household name now because of

34
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 3: his short and ill fated run, and therefore the wild

35
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 3: corruption that has been unearthed in Minneapolis is a much

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 3: bigger story because the governor of Minneapolis, Tim Walls, is

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: a national figure, which you would not have been before.

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 3: I mean, if I sat here right now and ask everybody,

39
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: if you don't live in the state of Idaho, who's

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: the governor of Idaho? Everybody, everybody knows the governor of Minnesota,

41
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 3: though no By the way, no shade to the governor

42
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: of Idaho.

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I think he's a Republican. But I'm with you, I

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: don't know who the governor of Idaho is. Man. He

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: might be listening right now. We love Idaho and we've

46
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: always been a big fan of your work. To celebrate

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: your entire catalog. In fact, you know, when you look

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: at that, I think it's also emblematic. Did you send

49
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: out a tweet? I think I saw where you're just like,

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: what if Democrats are just horribly wrong about everything?

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: Like yep, And I do think there's a lot of

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: truth to that.

53
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: But to me, the Tim Walls entire experience is indicative

54
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: of the fact that democrats buy and large look at voters.

55
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Like zoo animals they have to go out in the wild,

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: they look at men and they think, you know, in

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: the same way, was it Diane Fosse, who was I

58
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: think one of the great primatologists, if that's.

59
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: A way, gollas, gorillas in the mist, and there was

60
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: Jane Goodall with the chimpanzees.

61
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Yes, they would go out and they would sit in

62
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: the in the in the wild, and they would observe

63
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: what the chimpanzees did what the gorillas did in an

64
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: effort to understand how their society works. Democrats now are

65
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: like that with men that they they I'm not kidding

66
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: about this. They sit there and they they've got their

67
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: notepad out and they and they say, you know.

68
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: What we need.

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: We need a older white guy who wears cowboy boots

70
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: and carhart and knows how to go out and walk

71
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: around with a gun. And he used to coach high

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: school football. And you put all this together and it's

73
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: like they're trying to create an AI avatar of what

74
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: they think is going to be a man who connects

75
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: with other men. The problem is what they missed is

76
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: authenticity matters more than anything. But you look, there are

77
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: nerds out there who are not the foundation of I

78
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: think typically masculine you know, bigger, stronger, faster men don't

79
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: aspire necessarily to be like them. That could be really

80
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: really popular, right, I mean, I would say, no offense

81
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: to him. Ron DeSantis a little bit of a nerd,

82
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: right And and I don't mean that at a meeting at.

83
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 2: As they called him.

84
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: What was with the meatball was that some kind of weird,

85
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: underhanded or backhanded like Italian American thing like, why are

86
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 3: they hitting him on meatball?

87
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: That never makes sense.

88
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: I met one of Ron DeSantis's fraternity buddies over over

89
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: break during and we were talking and he said, you know,

90
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: he loves Ronda Santis with ever fiber and his being.

91
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: He said, the guy is the best at just doing jobs. Say,

92
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: if you need a guy who's just gonna build you

93
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: a shelf in the frat house, Ron de Santis will

94
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: build a shelf in the frat house that will be

95
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: there for generations.

96
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: He's like, if you want a.

97
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: Guy that's gonna go out and pound a bunch of

98
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: beers and try to pick up girls, not Rond DeSantis's thing.

99
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: And so he's like, you know, the going on the

100
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: campaign trail, which is in many ways kind of a

101
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: seductive thing, right, you got to seduce voters, convince it

102
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: a popularity contest. Yes, it's not necessarily his thing. But

103
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: every guy out there listening to us right now, you're

104
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: saying to yourself, you know what, Ron Desantas, I wish

105
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: it could be governor of Florida for the next twenty years.

106
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: He's done maybe the greatest job as a governor that

107
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: Florida has ever seen. And so I guess what I'm

108
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: getting at is Democrats don't understand men to such an

109
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: extent that they don't understand the wide range of masculinity

110
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: that I think we're publicans can end up supporting. And

111
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: so they toss out this fundamentally inauthentic guy in Tim Walls,

112
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: and he instead of actually convincing men that they should

113
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: be voting for Kamala and Walls, I think he actually

114
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: cost your votes. I think it would have actually been

115
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: better for Kamala Buck if she if she had gone

116
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: and just said, hey, you know what, Gretchen Whitmer is

117
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: my pick. Yeah, you got a double chick ticket. And

118
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: it might have hurt her, but I think she probably

119
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: would have won Michigan.

120
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: I don't think she would have called it a double

121
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: chick ticket, but yeah, I hear what you're saying.

122
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean the double dude ticket, double chick ticket. I

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: think she would have been better off. I don't like

124
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: Gretchen Whitmer, but I think Gretchen Whitmer is more authentic

125
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: as a governor than Tim Walls was. And I think

126
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: men might respect Gretchen Whitmer even more than they did

127
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, because he's so fake, and so we start

128
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: off this day with Tim Walls's political career being over,

129
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: which I think is kind of a remarkable story.

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: Let's be honest here. Good chance that if you're wondering

131
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: who could hang the picture frame and get it done

132
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: with the tool belt and all the things, I think

133
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 3: Gretchen Whimper might beat out Tim Walls. If you're looking

134
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: for someone to choreograph your next uh, Gretchen, I would

135
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: say Tim Walls is your Gretchen Whitmer might be better at

136
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: home repair than either you or I hold on as

137
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 3: she definitely is. I take no if my in laws

138
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: are listening every time. Every time my father in law

139
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: shows up here to visit, it's like a trade. He

140
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: gets to see his grandchild and his daughter, and I

141
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: get to present him with the list of things in

142
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: the house that are broken that I don't know how

143
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: to fix. It's right, Laura, Laura is the same way

144
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: my father in law can fix everything as an engineer.

145
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: And you know, he just shows up and by the way, he's.

146
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: About to be eighty.

147
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: Happy early eightieth birthday to my father in law, and

148
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: he's still infinitely better at fixing anything in the house.

149
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: So look I'm not claiming that.

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: At least at least you drive way too fast like

151
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: a maniac and are ready for the F one circuit.

152
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: I drive slow.

153
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: This is why I have to go in my free

154
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: time and shoot lots of guns and do tactical training

155
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: on the weekends to make up for my inability to

156
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: change a light bulb and driving like a little old lady.

157
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know you're driving like miss Daisy is is

158
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: definitely I was. I was doing all that this, actually

159
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: thought about this.

160
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: He should, They said, he should just say thank you

161
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 3: Buck for keeping me safe, But instead I get all this.

162
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: You know, when they were talking about the CIA agents

163
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: who were in.

164
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: In Venezuela, the officer I always get that wrong.

165
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: But the CIA officers who are in Venezuela. I was

166
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, you know, this could have been a

167
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: job for Buck. But hopefully they were never chased, because

168
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: if they were, he would have gotten caught and captured

169
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: just like that. Because the guy can't he has no

170
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: evasive driving skills. He would be obeying whatever the speed

171
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: limits are. Uh and uh and and as a result,

172
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: we might not have gotten Maduro.

173
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 3: Just because you don't drive fast enough. It's called going

174
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: low profile, low viz. You obey the local traffic ordinances,

175
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: so you don't arouse suspicion. Clay, that's how highly trained

176
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: I am. They would think that I'm a retiree on

177
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: vacation there. They would never suspect.

178
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: How many Americans are there in Venezuela. By the way,

179
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: do we know like actually in Venezuela. That's a great question.

180
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: I mean if the number is a lot less now

181
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 3: than I mean obviously right now, particularly, but it's been

182
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 3: going down and down for a long time. I mean,

183
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: the State Department has had to do not travel order

184
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 3: up for Venezuela for quite some time, I think, so

185
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: it hasn't been a probably don't go, it's a don't go.

186
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 3: This is my My boys are not going to shock

187
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 3: you that as soon as we rated Venezuela. My boys

188
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: are super sports fans. One of my sons said is

189
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: Ronald Alcunya. Okay, Ronald Lacunya is the star Venezuelan baseball

190
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: player of the Atlanta Braves, and a lot of I

191
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: mean this is true, a lot of baseball players in

192
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 3: the off season go to Venezuela. Whether's perfect baseball is

193
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: huguely popular there, and so there are a lot of

194
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: Major League Baseball players in Venezuela, I think right now

195
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: before the spring training starts next month.

196
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: No, maybe, uh, Venezuela, we decide we get you. Look,

197
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: you can't make him citizens.

198
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: They're not Americans, they're they're they're Latinos, they're South Americans

199
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 3: and Latinas. But you know, maybe we maybe Zar Miller.

200
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's officially being called that yet,

201
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: but Stephen Miller in the White House. If in fact

202
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: he gets the Venezuela portfolio we moved toward, Venezuela becomes

203
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: like Guam, but a lot bigger and with a lot

204
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 3: more oil. Like you're not you're not voting in our

205
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 3: You're exactly like the US Virgin Islands, except.

206
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: With a territorial law. By the way, cleaning up a

207
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: couple of things. We are big fans of uh uh,

208
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: Let's make sure that I get this right. We are

209
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: big fans of Brad Little, current governor of Idaho. No one,

210
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: no one bigger fans than us. Let's let's make sure

211
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: you get it right. Because you've thinking about Brad a

212
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: lot lately. Yes, I have. I've been, I've been thinking,

213
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: we need to talk about what the job Brad's doing

214
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: in Idaho.

215
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: Do you know what the truth is?

216
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 4: Thought?

217
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: Can I just really quick, Clay, The reason we don't

218
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 3: talk about Brad a lot here is because Idaho is

219
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: a great state and he's obviously doing a great job.

220
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 3: So because he's not the focus of commentary is.

221
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: A good thing. Grock. I don't know how much you

222
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: use GROC now all the time it's replaced Google for me,

223
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: it's amazing. I love it.

224
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: Grock says that there and if you have not, this

225
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: is worth getting on Twitter x by itself. I am

226
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: stunned by how a thick effective it is at just

227
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: giving me basic facts. Like yesterday, I was looking up

228
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it a little bit later, but I

229
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: was looking up the number of murders in Washington, DC.

230
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: You can go on Twitter, hit the Grock symbol, and

231
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: you can just say, hey, tell me how many murders

232
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: there have been graphically from nineteen seventy in Washington, d C.

233
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: To the present day. Wait like forty five seconds a minute, boom,

234
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: all of the data right there in front of you.

235
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: Groc says there are ten thousand Americans roughly that are

236
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: living in Venezuela right now, according to recent estimates, a

237
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: right small number when you consider the size of Venezuela,

238
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: and I wonder what it would be comparatively, say to

239
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: Colombia next door.

240
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: So we can grock that one. By the way, Clay

241
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: in retrospect. Now, given that, maybe Stephen Miller can bring

242
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: about the territorial dispensation of Venezuela for us. I'm not

243
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: saying he's going to do that. It's just a fun idea.

244
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 3: We should talk about Greenland, which I don't think is

245
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 3: entirely a joke. I still think that there is an

246
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: interesting conversation that is being had about people say it

247
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 3: belongs to Denmark. Okay, why the Greenlanders are not Danes

248
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: is what has Denmark done for Greenland? Does Greenland get

249
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: a say in this? It's a big piece of territory.

250
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: And also, just because you're a civil war nerd self

251
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 3: described people forget this. Ulysses Grant had a great plan.

252
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: He wanted to make the Dominican Republic you're talking about

253
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: baseball before. He wanted to make the Dominican Republic a

254
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: US territory and got shot down by the Senate.

255
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: First of all, there are a lot of decisions we

256
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: made surrounding territories that I think were wrong, and I

257
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: think in like the first year of this show, four

258
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: or five years ago, I said we should go into

259
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: Cuba and we should end this absurdity. I'm gonna re

260
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 1: bring that back down, double down, triple down, quadruple down,

261
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: whatever necessary, we should right now in this year of

262
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, end the fact that Cuba is a

263
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: communist country and return basic freedoms to Cuba. To your

264
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: point on territories, I would even suggest that we should

265
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: look at what we've done with Puerto Rico and with

266
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: the US Virgin Islands Guam as you mentioned, and consider

267
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: making Cuba a territory of the United States, not a

268
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: full part of the of the citizenry. You're not voting,

269
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: you don't in the Senate, you don't have a congressional representation,

270
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: but just a protectorate of sorts. To me, that is

271
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: a something that should significantly be looked at.

272
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: Think about the deal that we've gotten in other places,

273
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: and Guam is one example. They get US military protection,

274
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: we put bases there. They don't ever have to worry

275
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 3: about foreign relations, foreign invasion anything like that. They get infrastructure,

276
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: they get rule of law, they get access to you know,

277
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: American markets, et cetera.

278
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: It's not a bad deal. We already have.

279
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: The huge base at Guantanamo and thanks to Colonel Jessep

280
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: we still have it.

281
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: And we needed him on that wall. He was actually

282
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: the unsung hero of that movie in so many ways.

283
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: That's a conversation for another time. All Right, this may

284
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: be the time. This may be the year that you

285
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: join me in something very important, gold and owning some gold.

286
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: Every indication is that gold is going to continue to

287
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: grow this year. And this is because of global instability.

288
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: We're just talking about some of that stuff, but also

289
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: all the money printing that's happening. It's not going to stop.

290
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: And owning gold is part of your savings plan, your

291
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,120

312
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,600

313
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna end up talking about, and then

314
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: it changes rapidly because of events. And one of those

315
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: unfolded in the last twenty four hours where there was

316
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: a report out there, I guess you could say, an

317
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: allegation that a Hilton branded hotel was canceling the reservations

318
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: of anybody who works for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, just

319
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: like everyday folks, government employees when they travel to places,

320
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: they don't have homes.

321
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,239
Speaker 2: Everywhere, they stay in hotels.

322
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 3: And there was this report out about a Hilton hotel

323
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 3: that had turned and not just refuse to take it

324
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 3: as it but cancer old active reservations of a of

325
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 3: some ice contingent. And it came from I believe officially

326
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 3: or initially the official DHS account saying this is that

327
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 3: this happened. So they go right to the people with

328
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: this stuff. Now, I mean, this Trump administration doesn't hold back.

329
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: It was amazing to see how quickly. To Hilton's credit, now,

330
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 3: I think they understand what's at stake here. But Hilton Hotels, man,

331
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: they were the comms, they were on it. They right

332
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 3: away publicly this is absolutely not our policy. We would

333
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 3: never do such a thing where we are open as

334
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: a hotel for all who wish to stay. And you know,

335
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: they they went and they said we are looking into

336
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 3: this right away. And then they said the it's a franchisee.

337
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 3: People forget this that there's often you know, these big

338
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 3: brands you have to play by certain rules. You're a

339
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: franchise e, so you independently operate it under the overall

340
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 3: corporate umbrella, so there's kind of limited. There's not really

341
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: direct oversight. There's some oversight, but it was a franchise

342
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 3: e Hotel and Hilton. Do you see The latest out

343
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: of Clay was that Hilton Hotels came out I think

344
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 3: it was either last night or early this morning to

345
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 3: just say, you know what, this franchise e told us.

346
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: They fix it.

347
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 3: They didn't fix it, They're no longer a Hilton Hotel.

348
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 3: This was less than twenty four hours. I just think

349
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 3: that this is indicative of how much the vibe, as

350
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: the kids say, has changed now in corporate America, where

351
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 3: the second that anyone starts to get a wi that

352
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: you think that half the country should go stuff it

353
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: and that they're you know, you don't want their business

354
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: is if they're going to vote for Trump or whatever.

355
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: Oh the days of half the country sitting back quietly

356
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: and letting that stuff fly are are long since gone.

357
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 2: Well.

358
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: I think this is the legacy of bud Light, which

359
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: is why I think the bud Light story is going

360
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: to linger for years and years to come. Look Michael

361
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: Jordan had it right buck Republicans by Sneakers two.

362
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 2: Back in the day, they tried to get Michael.

363
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: Jordan to be super political and he said, no, I'm

364
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: not gonna do that, and he gave the quote Republicans

365
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: by Sneakers two. That means that maybe he had democratic leanings,

366
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: but he wasn't going to get involved. And as a result,

367
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: you know what the legacy of Michael Jordan is, He's

368
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: the most popular athlete in the entire country. Still, he

369
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: sells more Jordans his sneakers than any current NBA player

370
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: does combined. The air Jordan brand is more valuable than

371
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: every current NBA player combined. Tiger Woods took the same approach.

372
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods basically said, look, I want to be the

373
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: greatest golfer that has ever lived. Now, he didn't beat

374
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: Jack Nicholas in overall majors. I think he just turned fifty.

375
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Tiger Woods. You're listening. And Tiger made the

376
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: decision that he wanted to have the same level of appeal,

377
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: And I just it seems very basic to me. If

378
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: I ran a company that was desirous of of of

379
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: trying to appeal to everyone which most companies are. Why

380
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: would you alienate half the country. It never made any

381
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: sense to me. It always seemed like a really short

382
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: sighted plan.

383
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 3: I just thought it was so interesting because and I

384
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: pulled this up, it was from the official Homeland Security

385
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 3: account initially, and and so Homeland Security account called this out,

386
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 3: like the comms for DHS said, we're getting reports about this,

387
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: and they called it no room at the end all

388
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 3: in caps and Hilton, you know, there there was a

389
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: time there was a time when I think at best

390
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 3: what you could hope for would have been the overall. Now,

391
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 3: Hilton is a true global brand and you know, it's

392
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: been around a long time and so people know it.

393
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 3: There was a time when I think the best you

394
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 3: could have hoped for would have been, we have, you know,

395
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: read this report, and we're going to look into it.

396
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 3: And they would sort of just hope that it goes

397
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: away and that's it. Maybe they would have even gone

398
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: in the other direction and said, you know, well, we

399
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 3: believe that like you know, in borders, or that borders

400
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: shouldn't exist and all people are people and known is illegal.

401
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 3: There was a time when some corporations in recent memory

402
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 3: would have done that. I think major corporations. I think

403
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: like Disney might have done that depending on the day.

404
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 3: But in this case, Hilton came out with right away

405
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 3: like all that they could bring to the public conversation

406
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: about this to squelch this story and set it straight

407
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 3: and say we absolutely do not do this, would not

408
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 3: do this, and we will hold those who do it

409
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: under our banner accountable. That is, you know, we've started

410
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: to get a little used to this, guys, it's only

411
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: been a year. That is a massive, massive corporate sea

412
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: change in attitude and behavior from a big brand like that,

413
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 3: when clearly this is because it's Trump's ice, Trump's policies,

414
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 3: that's the whole thing. Under the Biden administration, you know,

415
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: people even still thought they could get away with all

416
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 3: kinds of nonsense like this.

417
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: I think it's.

418
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: Also reflective of an unfortunate reality, which is most business

419
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: leaders are cowards and they go whatever the direction is

420
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: that the.

421
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 2: Wind is blowing.

422
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: And for a long time, the way that they would

423
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: lose their jobs was by not seeming left wing enough.

424
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: So if you remember in twenty twenty in the summer,

425
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: remember when every brand that you ever bought anything from

426
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: suddenly had to email you to let you know what

427
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: they thought about Black Lives Matter, and you were sitting

428
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: around and you were just like, Hey, I just want

429
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: to buy some kitty litter. I don't need to know

430
00:22:54,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: what my pet company, pet food company thinks about geopolitics.

431
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: And yet everybody felt compelled to send you those messages.

432
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: A lot of those same CEOs knew it was BS

433
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: and then, but they were concerned about protecting their own jobs. Now,

434
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: because Trump won, they can go back and try to

435
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: address what they knew to be ridiculous for a long time.

436
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: And I think the math on it is pretty clear, right.

437
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're Hilton or Hyatt, I always get

438
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: those two mixed up. I don't know which. I can't

439
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: tell the difference. Probably not helping me for us getting

440
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: a big hotel chain sponsorship here. But you should want

441
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: everybody under the sun, Democrats, Republicans, independents, people who don't vote.

442
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: Everybody should be your target market. And I give them credit.

443
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: I think you're right. They looked into this, they got

444
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: back to it fast, and they said, we're not going

445
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: to allow this to occur. This guy is no longer

446
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: one of our franchisees.

447
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 3: The people who decided to send bud Light a message

448
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: to your point, message received by corporate America. Doesn't bud

449
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: Light now who they had with the m M A.

450
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: And they've gone at like some right wing film.

451
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: It still hasn't come back because maybe it's gonna take years.

452
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 3: No, No, but I just mean that they.

453
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: Spent god knows how much money on the UFC. They

454
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: have spent God knows how much money. I mean, you

455
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: can't watch in a college football or NFL game without

456
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: bud Light commercials everywhere. Look, the most toxic thing that

457
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: you can have if you are a brand that is uh,

458
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: that is trying to appeal to men, is the idea

459
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: that you're cool with dudes pretending to be chicks. Like

460
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: and everybody just said, yeah, we're not going to do

461
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: this and stop drinking the beer almost overnight.

462
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: Well, you can unpack this really quickly.

463
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: Right.

464
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: Why do the Democrats have such a problem with masculinity?

465
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: This was the big question going into the last election

466
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 3: because the polling the day it all showed that that

467
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 3: is that is an issue for them. If you have

468
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 3: a guy, I don't I don't care who it is,

469
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 3: You can have a ah, you know, a jacked three

470
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 3: tour super soldier. You know, you know, you're like whatever,

471
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 3: the ultimated masculinity is in your mind. If you sit

472
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 3: there and you have him say in earnestness, not ironically

473
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: or kidding, I'm a male feminist and I believe that

474
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: men don't have an advantage over women in sports. You

475
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 3: instantly think that this guy is a woos Instantly, Yes.

476
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: There's no way around this. It doesn't matter who you are,

477
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: doesn't you can have.

478
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: The top you know, NBA or NFL athlete in the world,

479
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: sit down, look you in the face and say that,

480
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, so you're just a coward. So

481
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: you actually don't have balls. To borrow from a great book,

482
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 3: you don't have balls.

483
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean it is and I think it's why it

484
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: had such cultural residence in twenty twenty four because most

485
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: people it's very complicated what the tax code should be.

486
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: We were talking about off air. It looks like Trump

487
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: was right about tariffs. There now is a huge study

488
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: I'm reading in the Wall Street Journal this morning as

489
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready saying actually went back and looked at

490
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: hun undred plus years of data, and there is no

491
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 1: evidence of a substantial degree that inflation follows tariffs, despite

492
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: the fact that every economist in the country told you,

493
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: oh my god, if Trump does these tariffs, then the

494
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: inflation is going to go through the roofs, and they

495
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: were wrong. And a lot of economists they're looking around saying, now, like,

496
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: how do we all get this so wrong? And by

497
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: the way, a lot of the same economists said we

498
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: could print as much money as possible. Remember bucket wasn't

499
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: very long ago twenty twenty one when they suddenly said, hey,

500
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: modern monetary theory is this new thing, and there's no

501
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: cost associated with just printing way more money.

502
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: And well, you and I am are coming.

503
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: On saying, you know, I think there's actually pretty good

504
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 1: history that when you print too much of your currency

505
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: that the value collapses. And there was this idea out

506
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: there that Biden bought into that you could basically print

507
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: as much money and there were going to be no

508
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: consequences when it came to inflation, and then boom, within

509
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: a year were at nine percent. Were still trying to

510
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: deal with the fact of that incompetence.

511
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 3: This is where common sense is seemingly less common than

512
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 3: we would want it to be. If you can print

513
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: any money and it doesn't matter, and you'll just deal

514
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: with it, and you'll buy whatever you want and get

515
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: whatever you want with it. We should just set up

516
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: for every American, Yes, a bank account, put a million

517
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 3: dollars in it.

518
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: Yes.

519
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 3: If that's a problem, why is it a problem. Well,

520
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: once you establish why that's clearly a problem, you understand

521
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: why soon to be forty trillion dollars in debt and

522
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 3: spending trillions more than we take in every year is

523
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 3: also a problem. Right, So it's very straightforward stuff. On

524
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: the tariff's issue, I will apply the same common sense.

525
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: This is what we kept saying on the show Clay. Okay,

526
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 3: somehow every other country in the world, every other Canada,

527
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 3: the UK, all the other countries in the world, including

528
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: ones that are closest to us culturally, legally, et cetera,

529
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 3: have tariffs in place. Why is it that they're so

530
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 3: dumb that they just want to do something that doesn't

531
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 3: benefit them and raises prices for them for no apparent reason.

532
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 3: Now you can say, oh, no, buck, we recognize it.

533
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: No, no.

534
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: The people who are anti tariffs suggested that there was

535
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 3: really no upside to it either, that it was just

536
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 3: a bad idea. It was just downside, you don't even

537
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 3: really protect effectively because of the global marketplace, your your domestic industry.

538
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: But Clay, I go back to the common sense man,

539
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: the normy, if you will, the same Norman that's asking,

540
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 3: are Democrats just wrong about everything? Narrator voice, Yes they are.

541
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: Why is everyone else doing this if it's so stupid?

542
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 3: Every other country in the world, some like China doing

543
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: it very aggressively and getting very rich while they do so. Yes, No,

544
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 3: I mean, look this is now here's the downside. I

545
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 3: do think the Supreme Court might say the president doesn't

546
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: have authority to implement all of the tariffs that he

547
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 3: has uplied. Oh so, like we can sit here and

548
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: say Trump was right about the tariff front again, and

549
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 3: he's bringing in I think he's on pace now to

550
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 3: bring in six hundred billion dollars in tariff revenue in

551
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six if the tariffs were allowed to continue,

552
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: and he was going to put that money towards helping

553
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 3: to pay down the debt. And by the way, four

554
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: point three percent growth at the end of the third

555
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 3: quarter as we're headed into the end of twenty twenty four,

556
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five. Sorry, there is the possibility out there

557
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: that with if growth is around five percent that I

558
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: don't know I've heard anybody else say this, that the

559
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 3: budget could start with in conjunction with the tariffs, that

560
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: the budget could start to come close to being balanced

561
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven. Now that's

562
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 3: a very positive that's if the economy continues to expand,

563
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 3: it continues to grow, and the Supreme Court says the

564
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 3: tariffs are allowed to be upheld. I'm not convinced that

565
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 3: they are, and so that could turn into a huge

566
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 3: mess because how do you give back all the money

567
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 3: that was that was taken in through the tariffs. I mean,

568
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: I think that's one of the challenges the Supreme Court

569
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 3: is grappling with as they try to break down that

570
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: going forward. In the meantime, Tap to pay popular way

571
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: to pay with a credit card. It's store cyber scammers

572
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: out there. They're using tech that allows them to read

573
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 3: credit card data. It's a tactic known as ghost tapping.

597
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: We appreciate all of you hanging out with us.

598
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: I have gone to war with the State of New

599
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: Mexico unexpectedly today. I hope that all of you living

600
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: in I don't even know what is New Mexico the

601
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: frontier state, So don't don't dig me into this hole

602
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: with you don't asking me New Mexico trivia.

603
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: So I have to take the incoming on this one.

604
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: I want to say something nice about New Mexico. One

605
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: of my college roommates lives there, and I been to Albuquerque,

606
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: and what I remember is that they have a lot

607
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: of honey that they put on burritos. And that sounds

608
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: like something that doesn't make a lot of sense, but

609
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: it actually tastes very good. So I would miss the

610
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: honey on the burritos if we let New Mexico go

611
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: back to Mexico. Uh, and if we ended up with

612
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: better states instead.

613
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: So that is uh.

614
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: The land of enchantment is what New Mexico is. I

615
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 1: thought it was the frontier state. That's the last guy,

616
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: I guess. But we are having a lot of fun

617
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: Venezuela talk, Tim Walls talk. Oh no, Jim Wall's talk

618
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: is always great and fantastic. Do you can we since

619
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: we're already talking about states that you want to give away,

620
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: you were to trade trade away, trade away, not giving.

621
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: Not giveaway.

622
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: I want something better in exchange for them, but I'm

623
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: willing to barter them, trade them.

624
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 3: Well, what are we trading for? New York City being

625
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: destroyed by Mom Donnie? Just the knowledge that communist.

626
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: House we're gonna We're gonna have a bigger House majority

627
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: and maybe add a couple of Senate seats. So it

628
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 1: makes me sad that all of you in you know,

629
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,719
Speaker 1: New York City, just New York City. I mean, I

630
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: bet Long Island's gonna be nicer. I bet Westchester is

631
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: gonna be nicer. But those of you, maybe Staten Island,

632
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: because it's protected and has its own island, maybe it

633
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: will be okay. But Manhattan, in particular, Brooklyn Queens, all

634
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: of you are done.

635
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

636
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: You know, you just sink beneath the waves like Atlantis,

637
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: and the rest of.

638
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: The country just goes right on. I saw where who

639
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: was it?

640
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: David Sachs came out and said, Miami's gonna replace New

641
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: York City as the financial capital of the United States.

642
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: Did you see that prediction from him?

643
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 3: The idea that is, yeah, the idea that's out there

644
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: now is that South Florida. It's really Miami and the

645
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: ninety five corridor up to Palm Beach in that area

646
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 3: and West Palm Palm Beach and on down is going

647
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 3: to become a major global financial hub.

648
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: And.

649
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 3: That there will be a move also of these California

650
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: billionaires to Texas.

651
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: Yes, for the tech I think he's right.

652
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 3: There is some momentum behind both of those things that

653
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: this is already going on in some ways.

654
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: So I think that.

655
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: Look, I do believe that one of the biggest legacies

656
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: of COVID is going to be that a lot of

657
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: people became aware that they could live anywhere in the

658
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: country and indeed all over the world, and they would

659
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: not actually lose the ability to do.

660
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 2: Their job at a high level.

661
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: And so if you have made that risk taking test

662
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: that you would never have tried on your own, right,

663
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: if you make a million dollars a year and you

664
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: are a super successful New York City investment banker, you

665
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: would have never said, Hey, let me see if I

666
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: can still do my job just as well, I'm going

667
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: to risk it. Moved to Miami, or I'm gonna move

668
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: to Houston, or I'm gonna move to Nashville where I

669
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: live a lot of those guys did it, and now

670
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: they're looking around and they're saying, why would I pay

671
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: fourteen percent in state income tax? As much like buck

672
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: yourself if you can do your job just as well,

673
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, also live potentially in a

674
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: more hospitable environment to raise a family, as I think

675
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: most people would say, Hey, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, does that

676
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: feel like a better place to raise a family to

677
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people than New York City or La

678
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,919
Speaker 1: or Chicago. I think a lot of people are saying yes,

679
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: and they're moving, and so I do think culturally when

680
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: David Sachs said that kind of made me raise my

681
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: eyebrows a little bit. And I'm not one hundred percent

682
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: sold on the idea necessarily, but man, every time I

683
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: come down to see you in Miami, the number of

684
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: buildings going up, it is extraordinary to see the amount

685
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: of building that is going on in South Florida and

686
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: the property, what people are paying to live in South

687
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: Florida now, the amount of wealth that is relocating. And

688
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: then I think what you're going to see is the

689
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 1: state of New York and California and Illinois, and as

690
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: they lose some of those rich residents. They're going to

691
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 1: have to raise taxes, and that's going to accelerate the

692
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: departure of other people. And so I think the end

693
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: result is going to be that, much like Atlantis, new

694
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: York City is going to sink beneath the waters, and

695
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: the rest of us are going to benefit from your destruction.

696
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not going to sit here.

697
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 3: Downing Mint Julips, okay a' llah, mister Tennessee, Clay Travis

698
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 3: over there, while New York just slips into New York

699
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 3: Harbor and while Manhattan disappears. I'm going to help you

700
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 3: fight fight the madness that is Mam Donniism, which has

701
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,919
Speaker 3: already showed up in all kinds of ways. Here, let's

702
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 3: start with this one, Clay, this is a flashback. Mam

703
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 3: Donnie's tenant director is someone named I think Cia Weaver.

704
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess that's how you say her

705
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,479
Speaker 2: first name. Here.

706
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 1: I think this is super important. You should mention this

707
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: because this always comes up. It's not just Mom Donnie,

708
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: it's who he puts into so many of these positions.

709
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: And he's picking a lot of crazy people, right, He's

710
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: building a wacko brigade around him. Which is a really

711
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 1: really bad sign of what's going to be happening here

712
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: here is this is a flashback in this video to

713
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie's tenant director. I want to just listen to

714
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 1: the words she uses when she's talking about people being

715
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: able to own and rent homes in New York Bay nineteen.

716
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 7: I think the reality is is that for centuries we've

717
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 7: really treated property as an individualized good and not a

718
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 7: collective good, and we are going to and transitioning to

719
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 7: treating it as a collective good and towards a model

720
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 7: of shared equity will require that we think about it differently,

721
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 7: and it will mean that family is especially white families,

722
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 7: some POC family to her homeowners as well, are gonna

723
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 7: have a different relationship to property than than than the

724
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 7: one that we currently have.

725
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 3: Okay, so first off, before we dive into the insanity here,

726
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,879
Speaker 3: ironclad rule.

727
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 2: You cannot give.

728
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 3: Anyone authority in anything who does this up talking thing,

729
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 3: who does this thing where she starts talking up at

730
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 3: the end of sentences like it was a collective good

731
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 3: and now we're gonna treat it like it's or it

732
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 3: was you know, you know what I'm saying. That's always

733
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: a huge. That's a huge red flag. You don't want

734
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 3: to listen to anybody about anything important. Who does the

735
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: up talk thing at the end of sentences. I'm just

736
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: telling you it's true. You don't want this person operating

737
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: on your heart. You don't want them collecting, you know, rent,

738
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 3: you don't want them doing anything of any importance for you.

739
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 2: That's part one, Part two.

740
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 3: Notice that you has to just be like, yeah, we're

741
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 3: just gonna hurt white families more because you know, private

742
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 3: property rights aren't really a thing.

743
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 2: This is how these lunatics speak.

744
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 3: Behind closed doors, and they're not supposed to be able

745
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 3: to fool enough people to have any political power.

746
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 2: But Mom, Donnie, did.

747
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: You asked the question, which I think is really good one?

748
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: What if Democrats are just wrong about everything? It's not

749
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: just Democrats, though, it's the base of the Democrat Party

750
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: that is driving all of this insanity. And do you

751
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: know who the base of the Democrat Party is?

752
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 2: White women.

753
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: White women are highly educated. White women have bought into

754
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: everything that is wrong in America, and they aggressively put

755
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: in place policies that are utterly.

756
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: Wrong on all fronts.

757
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: I just I look at it, and I know every

758
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: time I say this, we get you know, it's like

759
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: it reminds me of the what was the the Chris

760
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: Rock joke he used to tell where women would sing

761
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 1: along to really degrading rap lyrics and they'd be like,

762
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: he's not talking about me, and he's like he's saying

763
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: your name, you know, Like it's a great line if

764
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: you ever would go out to a bar rap lyrics,

765
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: very degrading to women, and all the women are dancing

766
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: around like crazy, uh, you know, rapping along with the lyrics.

767
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: And whenever I say this, white women are like, not me,

768
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm not it. Yeah, okay, But as a percentage, overwhelmingly,

769
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: the most destructive force in America today is white women.

770
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: Left wing and frankly, i'm.

771
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 3: Married married unmarried married white women is really the demographic

772
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 3: you're talking about, buddy.

773
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: But they are destroying the country and they're wrong on

774
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: every single issue. And the scary thing that I bet

775
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: this chick that we're that we're playing the audio from,

776
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: I bet she's an unmarried white woman. God forbid if

777
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: she's got a husband. Uh, poor bastard. But I will

778
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: tell you right now, the scary thing to me, Buck

779
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: is not being wrong because trust me. I've been wrong

780
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: on a lot. You've been wrong on a lot. Everybody

781
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: out there has been wrong on a lot. It's not

782
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: being willing or able to recognize when you are wrong

783
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: and changing your opinion or changing your lifestyle choices. These

784
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: crazy unmarried white women are so committed to the destructive

785
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: belief systems that they have that results don't change their opinions.

786
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 2: I would tell you honestly, man, it's just unmarried single women.

787
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 3: It's unmarried women in like minutally, you know, particularly like

788
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 3: late thirties up until they're fifty. That's that's the demo.

789
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 3: It's across all races. They've got really bad way.

790
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: Well, young young women are wrong like young men are

791
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: because they're just knuckleheads and they haven't had enough life

792
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: experience to learn. As you age, you start to have

793
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: a better life perspective and you can adjust in your opinions.

794
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: So younger people, I think, oftentimes have Moronica takes. I've

795
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: got all sorts of opinions I had when I was

796
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: seventeen that I was saying. I mean, the true base,

797
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: by the numbers of the Democrat Party is actually black

798
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: female voters. That's the absolute locked in base that they

799
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,479
Speaker 1: have when it comes to voting.

800
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 2: But I don't know.

801
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that black women drive the choices made

802
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: by the Democrat Party as much as highly educated, unmarried

803
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: white women do. That's the base you're talking about, like

804
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: the policy director, versus who's the base.

805
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 2: That's right, You're right.

806
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: The percentages of people who are going to show up

807
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: and just vote because they've always voted Democrat. Black women

808
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: are the most loyal Democrat voters. But the people that

809
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: are actually driving the proverbial bus of the Democrat Party

810
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: are unmarried white women, and they are driving basically the

811
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: bus off the side of a cliff, and they don't

812
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 1: recognize even choices they make. In New York City, Mom, Donnie,

813
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: if he actually puts in place the policies that he

814
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: said he's going to do, you know what's going to happen.

815
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: Women are going to be infinitely more dangerous in the

816
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: lifestyle choices that they make. You're not gonna be able

817
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: to ride the subway, You're not gonna be able to

818
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: ride the buses. They're actually making choices that are utterly

819
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: destructive for their own lifestyle, and they're not willing to

820
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: recognize that they made the choice. Remember the Great Sex

821
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: and the City show back in the day, Buck, there's

822
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: a line where Charlotte, who I thought was the.

823
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 3: I think that show led women off a cliff, so

824
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 3: I would never refer to it as great. I think

825
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 3: that show is enormously destructive to a generation of women.

826
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 3: I've always believed that, and some chicks thought I was

827
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 3: crazy years ago, and now they're like, Buck, you're right,

828
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 3: You're like this.

829
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: It is an entertaining show, but I think if it's

830
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: a lifestyle. But Charlotte at one point has this realization

831
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: where she's made all these life choices and they've all

832
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: been wrong, and she has this like meltdown or she says,

833
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: I chose my choice. I chose my choice. I chose

834
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: my choice. That is a realization that you made choices

835
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: in your life that led you to the position where

836
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: you are. I don't think a lot of these women

837
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: are capable of logically recognizing that they have chosen the

838
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: method of their own destruction. To use a Ghostbuster's reference,

839
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: they're actually making choices that are utterly destructive to their lifestyle,

840
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,440
Speaker 1: and there aren't there isn't a recognition of it, right,

841
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: it would be different if you thought, I just this

842
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: is something I worry about all the time. If you

843
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: have a consequence free reality of your world, then how

844
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: can you in some way get people to make rational choices.

845
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 3: Well, this is the lack of accountability I always talking about.

846
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 3: Is the centerpiece of the Democrat parties pitch to people,

847
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 3: which is that nothing that is in your life that

848
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 3: is bad as your fault or could be changed by you,

849
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 3: It is other people's fault. And the government is there

850
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: to hurt those people that are the reason you are

851
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 3: dissatisfied with things, and to give you the things that

852
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 3: you think you deserve. That's like the fundamental pitch of

853
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 3: the Democrat Really it's just socialism, but they don't call

854
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 3: it that.

855
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 2: That's what it is.

856
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 3: And speaking of socialism, you've got like, Mam Donnie, you

857
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 3: know what, we can come back to this play, but

858
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 3: mom Donnie talking about how World Cup tickets for everybody,

859
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 3: you know, soccer World Cup tickets. What he's the mayor

860
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 3: of New York. He's not, he's not emperor of the universe.

861
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,919
Speaker 3: But you know, if you're a commie, it's the same

862
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 3: thing to you. So yeah, we'll play that. I saw

863
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 3: that clip that was going viral yesterday. Mam Donnie has

864
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 3: basically decided that he has to address every single issue

865
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 3: every day the mayor of New York City. I don't

866
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 3: know that you really need to call President Trump and

867
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 3: give him your opinion on Venezuela, right? I mean, is

868
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 3: that really the essence of your decision making?

869
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,000

00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. Let's see

895
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: we got a bunch of different clips out there. Tim

896
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: Walls finally took questions and he refused to resign, says,

897
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: only will he resign over his dead body cut thirty.

898
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 4: Republicans want to tell you everybody with brown skin is

899
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 4: stealing money or that they're not welcome here. They want

900
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 4: to do nothing to improve this state. Their idea of

901
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 4: improving this state is being a parrot for Donald Trump,

902
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 4: agreeing to everything that he agreed with. Well, here's what

903
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you. It ain't happening. I'm not

904
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 4: going anywhere and you can make all your requests for

905
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 4: me to resign, over my dead body, will that happen.

906
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 4: I will fight this thing till the very end to

907
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 4: make this state better. And the question that I think

908
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 4: they need to decide is is when does the guy

909
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 4: in the White House resign? When does he take accountability

910
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,240
Speaker 4: for what he did? Because it isn't going to happen

911
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 4: here in terms of us shying away from making a

912
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 4: state better.

913
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 2: So you'll get to see me more.

914
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 4: The good news is on this is is that I

915
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 4: got no election to look forward to. I've been in

916
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 4: front of you. I'll call on who I want to

917
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 4: call on, and I'll watch what the press gets written,

918
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 4: and we'll make sure that in this state there's full

919
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 4: accountability for everybody. Because I buck stops with me, I'm

920
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 4: accountable for this and because of that accountability, I'm not

921
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 4: running for office again. But I have a year to

922
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 4: continue to improve on a record that I think will

923
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 4: stand up against anybody's, a record that has made Minnesota better,

924
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 4: a record that makes people want to come here, and

925
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 4: a record that has respected not only the dignity of people,

926
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 4: but the idea of rule of law and camaraderie.

927
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 1: Okay, what's interesting here to me in general, is does

928
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 1: it feel like to you the whole like he tried

929
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: to start off the argument by saying, Oh, this is

930
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: about racism and this is about coming after people who

931
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: are brown skin. Does it feel like that that argument

932
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: has just complete Like it used to be, you could

933
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: shut down people really quickly if you said, hey, you know,

934
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: we got to look at crime and black guys commit

935
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: more crime than.

936
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 2: White guys, They're like, oh my god.

937
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: You know, the Overton window was so small that if

938
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: you said that, they would say, that's racist of you

939
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: to notice what basic data shows, and they would try

940
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: to shut down the conversation. It feels like they've lost

941
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: that battle now. And I don't know if it's social

942
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: media just exploiting larger marketplace of ideas conversations, but they're

943
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 1: still trying to make it and it doesn't even work

944
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: on legacy media anymore.

945
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 2: Yes, that's all true.

946
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 3: And there's a number of reasons why I think that

947
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 3: Elon Musk's purchase of X is still one of the

948
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 3: most important free speech turning points in the twenty first century.

949
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 3: And I know that for many of you who aren't

950
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 3: even on X or never on Twitter, You're like, how

951
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 3: can that be? It's the only place at scale. And

952
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 3: I know some of you're gonna tell me truth and whatever,

953
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 3: and I appreciate that, but that's the numbers speak to this.

954
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 3: A very small fraction of what you have on exits

955
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:08,280
Speaker 3: the only place at scale where ideas can be shared

956
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 3: and can really take hold of the public consciousness in

957
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 3: a way that is not dominated has not been dominated

958
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 3: by left wing control. We do have a Congressman Chip

959
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,360
Speaker 3: Roy out of Texas with us now. Congressman, appreciate you

960
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 3: being with us.

961
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 6: Great too, Witio. Sorry to step out of ourning they

962
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 6: we have with the President and I had to give

963
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 6: you all a call, but great.

964
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 3: To be on No, I appreciate it. Tell the big

965
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 3: guy we sent him a high five. He's doing an

966
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 3: amazing job.

967
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 2: We give him.

968
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 3: Give lots of thanks to him for a great twenty

969
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 3: twenty five. But we're talking here a little bit actually

970
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 3: about what's going on in Minnesota, the flaud there, and

971
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 3: now people are saying, if it's that bad of Minnesota,

972
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 3: what's it look like in California.

973
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 2: What's your take on this one, Congressman.

974
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:50,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look what we're signing. What we're seeing

975
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 6: there is the inevitable outcome of two things. A very

976
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 6: broken immigration system, both legal and illegal, that flooded our country,

977
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 6: particularly places like Minneapolis, for the individuals who are obviously

978
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,720
Speaker 6: engaging in right in rampant fraud and taking taxpayer money

979
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 6: and basically expanding it and bringing family members over and

980
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 6: abusing our immigration system. But it's also the product of

981
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 6: a welfare state is out of control. We have been

982
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 6: doling out billions of dollars, hundreds of billions of dollars

983
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,359
Speaker 6: NonStop now for years, and it's put on steroids under

984
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 6: divine administration. And now all of those two things collided

985
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 6: to produce this, this disaster in Minneapolis. Yes, it's bad

986
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 6: in California. Remember, by the way, last May June, when

987
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 6: we were working to get the big beautiful bill passed.

988
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 6: Remember those of us who were fighting and saying we

989
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 6: needed the Medicaid work requirements and that we needed requirements

990
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 6: to clamp down on fraud. Remember we were being saying, well,

991
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 6: you're going to take away Medicaid, You're going to make

992
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 6: all these No, we were trying to make sure that

993
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 6: only American citizens were able to get that benefit through

994
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 6: Medicaid and we were trying to get rid of fraud.

995
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 6: And by the way, Medicaid keeps going up under the

996
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 6: big beautiful bill. But we're just trying to type down

997
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 6: the fraud. Now we've got miles to go. We're trying

998
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 6: to fight to the appropriations process now working with the

999
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 6: President's team at the Office Management and Budget. Now you've

1000
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 6: got DOJ and you've got them out there investigating in Minnesota.

1001
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 6: We need to keep doing it and exposing it. And frankly,

1002
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 6: all of you people out there that are keyboard warriors

1003
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 6: looking at this stuff and finding the information. There's a

1004
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 6: great guy, what is it oifol Rando, his Twitter Accounty

1005
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 6: is a great Texan dives into all of these accounts

1006
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 6: and they, frankly, do a lot of workforce to help

1007
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 6: identify this stuff. So we're going after it and doing

1008
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 6: the best we can. And we got to just do

1009
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 6: more because that fraud is all over the place because

1010
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 6: of the money that's flowing.

1011
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: You're running for Attorney General of Texas in addition to

1012
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 1: being a congressman. Right now, Venezuela, what is the read

1013
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 1: on oil and gas from somebody who's in a state

1014
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: that knows more about oil and gas than anybody. What

1015
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: is the reaction that you're hearing from the people in

1016
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 1: the oil and gas industry. What do you think should

1017
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: happen will happen with Venezuela.

1018
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, the president should great leadership, and

1019
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 6: what he did in engaging in Venezuela, this is not unprecedented.

1020
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 6: Obviously Noriego was a president. Legally, I think the president's

1021
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 6: going to be on strong footing in court out and

1022
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 6: extricated somebody who and brought them here for justice who's

1023
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 6: been indicted for engaging and carrying out criminal activity and

1024
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 6: organized crime with cartels and putting drugs into our communities.

1025
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 6: So it's the right thing to do. They're now going

1026
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 6: to try to make sure that it's stable, lot that

1027
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 6: Venezuelan people do what they need to do to pick

1028
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 6: their leadership and run their country. But we're going to

1029
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 6: make sure it's stable first. But remember they nationalized the

1030
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 6: oil fields and their oil industry and took a lot

1031
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 6: of the investments that Americans put in their ten twenty

1032
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 6: thirty forty years ago, and that was a real issue

1033
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 6: that we've got in now. Unwind and then make sure

1034
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 6: now that oil isn't going to our enemies, and isn't

1035
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 6: going to China, isn't going to Iran, isn't going to Russia,

1036
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 6: and rather as being able to flow into Western hemisphere.

1037
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 6: And so I think that's going to happen. I think

1038
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 6: people I'm talking to in the oil and gas space

1039
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 6: are excited that we can have some oil supply to

1040
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 6: help free up the market. I mean, look, we can

1041
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 6: produce massive amounts of oil here, but there's always limits

1042
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 6: to what we can do with our fracking it. So

1043
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 6: it's nice to have multi sources and not be reliant

1044
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 6: on any one area. So to add to Venezuela supply

1045
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 6: back into the pipeline so to speak, is viewed favorably.

1046
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 6: But also, you know, we need to make sure that

1047
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 6: we don't have, you know, another situation where we go

1048
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 6: invest in it and then it gets nationalized again. So

1049
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 6: President's doing the right thing, but we got to do

1050
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 6: a lot of work to make sure that we can

1051
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 6: rely on it.

1052
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 3: How concerned are you, Congressman, about the next steps in Venezuela,

1053
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 3: specifically pretending to the security and you know, internal it's

1054
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,399
Speaker 3: not a stable place. The stability might be the wrong word,

1055
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 3: but keeping this place from devolving into a hobbsey and mess.

1056
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 3: What do you think are the ways forward here and

1057
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 3: how do you think the administration is going to be

1058
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 3: able to handle some of these challenges.

1059
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, Marco Review has been doing a

1060
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 6: fantastic job a Secretary of State. In every situation he's

1061
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 6: been put in, he's great this weekend articulating why this

1062
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 6: is critical to our national security interest, the Trump Doctrine,

1063
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 6: whatever you want to call it, with respective focusing on

1064
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 6: the Western Hemisphere, to push out our enemies, and to

1065
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 6: increase the relationships and the reliance on other countries in

1066
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 6: the Western Hemisphere, on America and not our enemies, not China,

1067
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 6: not Russia. These are all things that are critically important.

1068
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 6: I am concerned about the next steps. Those are very

1069
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 6: real concerns. They've got a lot of people in the

1070
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 6: regime are still in place, There's a lot of corruption

1071
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 6: that still exists. Moving one guy out of it is

1072
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 6: a good step, but it's not going to be the

1073
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 6: whole solution. We got to work to try to get

1074
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 6: Venezuela back on its feet, get it back to where

1075
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 6: it was economically two decades ago. But moving forward to

1076
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 6: the stronger rule of law and to have a better

1077
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 6: society that is built on our Republican principles here and

1078
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 6: so I think we've got a lot of work to do,

1079
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 6: but we can do it and it's worth it. Okay,

1080
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 6: this is not the nation building of trying to go

1081
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 6: build a country over in Iraq, you know, for twenty

1082
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 6: years where you spend seven trillion dollars and lose seven

1083
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 6: thousand men and women and seventy five thousand injuries. Which

1084
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 6: what we're dealing with here is in our western hemisphere,

1085
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 6: in our backyard, just south of Cuba, a country that

1086
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 6: is rich with minerals that can be a benefit to

1087
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 6: our entire civilization over here, but that we need to

1088
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 6: stay a lot. So I think the President is doing

1089
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 6: the right thing, but it's going to take a lot

1090
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 6: of work. This is not easy. I'm not a big

1091
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 6: believer and regime change in nation building, but what we're

1092
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 6: trying to do here is create stability with an important

1093
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 6: country in the Western hemisphere that's important in our national security interests.

1094
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: We're talking to Congressman Ship Roy running for the Attorney

1095
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: General of the State of Texas. When you look at

1096
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: what's happened, Tim Walls, we just played a couple of

1097
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: cuts from him press conference availability today is political career

1098
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: is effectively over. What does that tell us about the

1099
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: dwindling power of legacy media When effectively this is a

1100
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: twenty three year old on YouTube who went and did

1101
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: his own investigation into fraud in Minnesota and I think

1102
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: effectively ended Tim Walls's career. How does this change the

1103
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: dynamics of the political universe and also the trajectory of

1104
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:46,240
Speaker 1: our country.

1105
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 6: Well, look, I think this is an important moment and

1106
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 6: I think we should recognize that. And I've been talking

1107
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 6: about this quite a bit because when I mentioned a

1108
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 6: minute ago, right, I wasn't joking when I said that

1109
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 6: those are the listeners out there, the people who focus

1110
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 6: on this stuff. They can go do some of this

1111
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 6: investigative investigative work that helps us with policy, because people

1112
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 6: don't realize that. You know, in the Congressional office, right,

1113
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 6: I mean, I have fourteen or fifteen staff, half of

1114
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 6: them are doing constituent services and you know, engagement with

1115
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,479
Speaker 6: my constituents. And you've got a handful of policy people,

1116
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 6: and you have to do bills every day, and so

1117
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 6: it's hard for us to go to the deep dive

1118
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 6: investigative work. So when we've got support from the outside,

1119
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 6: which should have been the media, right, the media is

1120
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 6: supposed to be seeking truth wherever it may lead, right

1121
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 6: to quote Tomas Jefferson, they haven't been doing that. They

1122
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 6: have been an advocate for radical Marxism and leftism. And

1123
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 6: now you've got people like Nick who went out and

1124
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 6: did the hard work, you know, on the ground in

1125
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 6: Minneapolis and Minnesota, and now hopefully we're going to see

1126
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 6: more of that, and see that in California and see

1127
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 6: that ever in Texas, right, I mean, there's fraud in

1128
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 6: Texas and that we had to root out. There's medicaid

1129
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 6: fraud division of the AG's Office, the Attorney General's Office

1130
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 6: that you know, I want to make sure we're focusing

1131
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 6: on rooting out all the medicaid fraud. But I know

1132
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 6: Texas is better than California and Minneapolis and or Minnesota

1133
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 6: and New York. But we've got to have that. We've

1134
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 6: got to have people on the outside that are helping us. Again,

1135
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 6: the founders understood the importance of the freedom of the press.

1136
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 6: The question is who is the press? And right now,

1137
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 6: with technology and with what Elon did with X, it's

1138
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 6: impressive now what you can allow, what a twenty three

1139
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 6: year old, to your point, can do to bring out truth. Again,

1140
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 6: this is all about seek truth wherever it may lead.

1141
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 6: That's the goal.

1142
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 3: Do you think that there will be accountability though, a

1143
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 3: lot of people, Congressman, become very disillusioned with our system

1144
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 3: when there's this exposure of something like this, and then

1145
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 3: we're wondering, well, is anyone actually going to go to

1146
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 3: prison over this? I mean, I saw I think this

1147
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 3: is a US Attorney's office in Atlanta, Georgia is bringing

1148
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 3: a prosecution against the state rep there for stealing fifteen

1149
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 3: thousand dollars something like that in COVID funds. And they're

1150
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 3: bringing that prosecution under public integrity and they're like, look,

1151
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 3: you're a public official and you're stealing money from the

1152
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,360
Speaker 3: states you live in. That's unacceptable. I see what's going

1153
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 3: on in Somalia. I'm hearing the people are take I'm

1154
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 3: sorry with the Somali's and mine, and you hear that

1155
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 3: people are taking the GDP of Somalia from that state

1156
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 3: and fraud.

1157
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 2: Is anyone going to go to prison?

1158
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 6: Yeah? I mean, you make a good point. In fact,

1159
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 6: I tweeted that out early. I think it was the

1160
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 6: first maybe to put that out that their GDP thirteen

1161
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 6: billion and we're talking about eighteen billion of potential fraud.

1162
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 6: Now that's the potential number. That tweet got thirty five

1163
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 6: million views. By the way, just to be clear about

1164
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 6: how much people are recognizing this, and I think that's

1165
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 6: important to your point. Yes, heads need to roll. I

1166
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 6: am glatified to see that. I think I saw something

1167
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 6: like a thousand prosecutions that were being discussed in the

1168
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 6: news reports that I saw this morning or yesterday. You know, look,

1169
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 6: this takes a little bit of work. You have to

1170
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 6: prove up a case. I'm a former federal prosecutor in

1171
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 6: the US Attorney's Office, and remember are typically our federal

1172
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 6: laws are not designed for us to have a federal

1173
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 6: police force, in federal prosecutorial force going into states. But

1174
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 6: where you've got the abuse of federal funds, where you've

1175
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 6: got the nexus to the fraud of these federal tax

1176
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 6: dollars flowing, and you have public servants who are engaged

1177
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 6: and that kind of behavior, there's absolutely room for federal prosecutions.

1178
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 6: We need to follow the truth wherever it may lead

1179
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 6: on this stuff. In terms of including state leaders and

1180
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 6: those that are involved in knowingly and intentionally violating our laws,

1181
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 6: and we've got to dive into it. And you know, look,

1182
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 6: people ask me all the time, why isn't Judge Boseberg

1183
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 6: being impeached? Well, I agree he should be. I mean

1184
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 6: we should bring it up and if we should have

1185
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 6: the vote, and if some Republicans won't vote for it,

1186
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 6: then they got to go answer to their constituents. I

1187
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 6: think we need to have some votes here on judicial impeachments.

1188
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 6: I think we need to see prosecutions out of the

1189
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 6: US Attorney's offices. And I hope we will.

1190
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: Last question for you quickly here as we go to

1191
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: break how much difference is Texas with a completely secured

1192
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: southern border? And privately, do even some Democrats come up

1193
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: to you and say, boy, things are so much better

1194
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: here with a completely secured southern border.

1195
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I would I would call a lot

1196
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 6: of those folks, former Democrats, frankly people South Texas who

1197
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 6: have been looking at this going ysh. I mean that

1198
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 6: was ridiculous what we were doing, dealing with the danger,

1199
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 6: the fentanyl, the cartels, the criminal activity, the fact that

1200
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 6: our hospitals and jails were all filled up now they

1201
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 6: see what can happen when you just simply enforced the law.

1202
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 6: But the point that I made, I literally just made

1203
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 6: it fifteen minutes ago, sitting in front of my Republican

1204
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 6: colleagues in our meeting. I said, remember that the president

1205
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 6: had basically secured the border in twenty twenty. It wasn't

1206
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 6: quite as tight as it is now, but it was

1207
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 6: pretty tight. And guess what happened. He got blown to

1208
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 6: hell in a matter of months under Biden and my orcs.

1209
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 6: We Congress must codify the president's agenda, the president's actions

1210
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 6: that he's taken as as president on the border, and

1211
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:37,919
Speaker 6: pass what we passed last Congress. Remember we passed Hr two,

1212
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 6: that strong Border Security bill. We have not passed that again.

1213
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:42,919
Speaker 6: We need to pass it, send it at the Senate.

1214
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 6: We need to force them to act. If we don't

1215
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 6: codify this stuff, then the next Democrat president will abuse

1216
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 6: it again. So it's a great to answer your question.

1217
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 6: Texas in a lot better spot. But look, we still

1218
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 6: have a lot of people we still need to remove.

1219
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 6: Ice is doing a good job, but we've got to

1220
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 6: go out and find the folks that have been violating

1221
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 6: our laws. People that are wrongly parrolled and give them

1222
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 6: branded asylum, move them, and then we need to pass

1223
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 6: laws to codify these things to make sure that doesn't

1224
01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 6: happen again.

1225
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: Congressmanship Arroy of the Great State of Texas the next

1226
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 1: Attorney General there.

1227
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 2: We appreciate the time, sir.

1228
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 6: Thanks guys, take care.

1229
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 1: Look, you can switch your cell phone service to pure

1230
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,919
Speaker 1: Talk this month and you'll be well on your way

1231
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: to saving at least six hundred dollars this year alone.

1232
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: Pure Talk will save you fifty percent or more without

1233
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: sacrificing any quality of service. They use the same cell

1234
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: towers and networks as the bigger cell phone companies, but

1235
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: without all the overhead expenses, so you can save more

1236
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: With Puretalk. The cost just twenty bucks a month for

1237
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,360
