Trump's big Golden Dome, 5 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: the biggest, beautifulest, most golden Dome. Talked about it yesterday, 6 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 1: got into some really interesting stuff about the future of warfare. 7 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: AI technology integrated into a global a global battlefield. It's 8 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: so much stuff to dive into on that, and we 9 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: will update you on some of the key moments from it. 10 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: And our friend Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth was there 11 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: as well as long as well as the leader of 12 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: Space Force. Space Force getting their moment in the sun, 13 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: if you will. Something that Trump came up with as 14 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: an idea looks pretty press in retrospect, doesn't it. At 15 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: the time, I remember there was snickering. There was oh, 16 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: Space Force, what was it gonna be like Star Trek. No, Actually, 17 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: it's really important as Elon and SpaceX are the pre 18 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: eminent satellite launch company slash nation state in the world, 19 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: and something like Clay, I think eighty percent of the 20 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: satellites in orbit are SpaceX launched at this point. So 21 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: the world is the world of space is changing so rapidly, 22 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: and it affects us so much. This is no longer 23 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: just about oh, maybe we can do a cool thing 24 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: and and get you know, figure out something the first 25 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: time we did this or no. No, this is affecting 26 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: telecommunications for all of us. It's affecting targeting on the 27 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: battlefield's there's a huge world of stuff that we've been 28 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: thinking is coming for a long time. It is here imminently, 29 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: and so we we'll talk a bit about that. Obviously, 30 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: the Golden Dome stuff is big. Clay is also going 31 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: to update us on this. Right. It was a state 32 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: assembly woman in Maine's the It's crazy that the Supreme 33 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: Court of the United States had to weigh in to 34 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: get Laurel Libby, who is in Maine, and I know 35 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: we have a lot of people listening in Maine to 36 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: get her able to vote again because they basically stripped 37 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: her of all representative rights because she spoke out against 38 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: a boy winning a girls championship in the state of Maine. 39 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: And so I we've had her on the show before 40 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: and we may have her on the show again. But 41 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: I just the world that we have entered where the 42 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: Supreme Court of the United States has to get involved 43 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: because Democrats don't want anyone to speak out against men 44 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: and women's sports, and in fact will not allow them 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: to be representing their district. Ah, I buck this thing 46 00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: off the crazy train. 47 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: Democrats are on a crazy train going so fast that 48 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: I can't even believe some of the places we end up. 49 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: I know we have to keep playing whack a mole 50 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: with this too. I wish that we could say this 51 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: argument is done and over with. We won, but they 52 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: won't stop. So we can't stop because if we do, 53 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: we seed ground to them in there. Crazy anyway, Clay 54 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,959 Speaker 1: O bring us into that. I think it's a really 55 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: interesant conversation. More from Tom Homan on the border. But 56 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: so look, let's take a moment here. Okay, we had 57 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: had this exchange here Clay and I and all of 58 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: you and a lot of you weighed in about this book, 59 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: that original sin, this book that has come out which 60 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: I stand behind. I do not advise you know, you 61 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: can read some of the excerpts if you want online 62 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: and you'll get the idea. I don't think that you 63 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: learn very much. The specifics of the details might be 64 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: somewhat lurid, but we already knew all of this, So 65 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: this would only be news to people so foolish that 66 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: they believe the Democrat media when they said Biden didn't 67 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: have dimension. This would only be a situation of oh 68 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: my gosh, revelation for people who were completely hoodwinked by 69 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: this con And we were not, as we know from you, 70 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: and neither were any of you. Because if you chose right, Clay, 71 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: if you choose to listen to this show, it means 72 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: you are independent, thinking enough, and wise enough to see 73 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: through the bull crap that places like CNN and The 74 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: Washington Post were peddling. Right, so we're already you know, 75 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: we're sitting here like we already knew. Okay, But we 76 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: had talked about whether we would have Jake Tapper on 77 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: to talk about his book. I can tell you that 78 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper is a guy who in earlier years, when 79 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: CNN was feeling robust, he was a behind the scenes, 80 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: a very nasty guy with very sharp elbows and very 81 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: underhanded in his dealings with people in media, in my opinion, 82 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: and I could give lots of details about it and 83 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, he's coming out like a 84 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: whipped dog like now all of a sudden, and it's well, 85 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: you know, I guess maybe I was wrong. Okay, So 86 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: do we have him on or not? That was the question. Well, 87 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: now I think it's kind of moot because he went 88 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: on Meghan Kelly's show. And full credit to Megan, who 89 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: is a great interviewer and is you know, is fearless. 90 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: She and Jake are friends and she's open about that 91 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: they're friends. He went on her show. I thought, come on, 92 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: there's no way she's gonna really hold him to account. Now, 93 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: would he have gotten rougher stuff Clay if he had 94 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: come on this show first, Yes, But did she fulfill 95 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: the necessary role here of not letting him get away 96 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: with lies and nonsense and asking the tough questions? Yes 97 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: she did, Yes she did. I mean I think on 98 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: this show it would have been like it would have 99 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: been hard for me not to start swearing, honestly. But 100 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: here we go. Let's start with some of this. Claut's 101 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: work through some of this together. This is one of 102 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 1: the better moments. This is from Megan's interview with Tap 103 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: and you say, Buck, why are we talking this because 104 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 1: we're still in the early stages of the Democrats finally 105 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: admitting what we were saying all along. And it's the 106 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: biggest political scandal of our lifetime. I don't know what 107 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: could be bigger than this. And it's the biggest media 108 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: scandal of our lifetime for sure. This is cut to 109 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: Megan Kelly's show with tapp or play it over here. 110 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: In my ecosphere, we were covering all of these. It 111 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: wasn't just falling down, it was getting lost. 112 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: It was some of the stuff you report in your book. 113 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: We knew and we were reporting on, like the multi 114 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: jump cuts in the videos of him, or it was 115 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 3: obvious he couldn't get through a one minute take. It 116 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 3: was clear to us that he was using teleprompter, and 117 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 3: there was some reporting on that at the time, all 118 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: of which the White House was denying. Now the current 119 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: white House, I have some connections with the Joe Biden 120 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 3: white House. I had none, but you did. There was 121 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 3: an attempted cover up. It could only ever work if 122 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 3: you allowed it, if the press allowed it. 123 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,479 Speaker 1: Some of us tried not to, and some of us 124 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: were complicit. 125 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 4: The Biden white House did not like me. Okay, this 126 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,119 Speaker 4: is I do not have great connections with the Biden 127 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 4: White House. 128 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: Well, clearly source. 129 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: You said you talked to over two hundred sources for 130 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: this book. 131 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,239 Speaker 2: And worked. 132 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 4: No, that's the point is that they were not being honest. 133 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: That's let's play a couple of these, because I think 134 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: what she said is important. He says, I didn't have 135 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: great contacts in the Biden White House. Well that's a 136 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: lie and also totally but he brags about interviewing two 137 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: hundred people for a tell all book, So you have 138 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: to have some connections to be able to get them 139 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: to talk to you. 140 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: This also is great. 141 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: And she goes off on him and says, one of 142 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: us didn't miss the biggest story of the century in 143 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: presidential politics. 144 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: Cut three go. 145 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: On the Street journal get it in June of twenty 146 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: twenty four, and Jake Tapper and CNN couldn't find sources 147 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: for this story. Then before he dropped out. 148 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 4: Annie Lynsky and Shavon Hughes did an amazing job in 149 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 4: their reporting and they should be heralded. 150 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 5: And I old them. 151 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 4: I had them on my show right after the debate 152 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 4: to talk about the great reporting to the debate. 153 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 3: But you did not put them on when they published 154 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: that story, which was before the debate. 155 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 5: Correct. 156 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 4: I don't know what the booking situation was, but it 157 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 4: wasn't because I didn't want them. 158 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 5: I'm sure. 159 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 4: I'm sure I said that, let's book that did they? 160 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 6: You? 161 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: You put on a democrat and you allowed the Democrat 162 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: to rive on the report as a Ruper Murdoch sponsored 163 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: hit piece. 164 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: It's just that what we going to do. 165 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 4: If we're going to if we're going to do this, 166 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 4: let's just stick to the facts here, Okay, when there 167 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,359 Speaker 4: is a damnator. 168 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 3: That's what I've been doing all along. I'm one of 169 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: us didn't miss the biggest story of the century when 170 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 3: it comes to presidential politics, and one of us did. 171 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: I give her credit. This is what I wanted us 172 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 2: to do if we had Jake on instead. Megan did it. 173 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: So I'm one more because I do think this matters. Buck, 174 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: I will give Jake Tapper some small measure of credit here. 175 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: He says he apologized to Laura Trump. We talked about 176 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: this on the show, because he ripped her and said, oh, 177 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 2: you're mocking his stutter and and derided the idea that 178 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: she could argue wasn't mentally. 179 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: Or a horrible thing to say. Yes, a horrible thing 180 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: to say. I mean to say, what what a kids 181 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: would say? We will play the full clip. I mean 182 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: it was it was gutter stuff that he pulled with 183 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: Laura Trump, who you know, you know her, Clay, I 184 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: know her. It's a lovely person, Okay. It is like 185 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: you know you'd want you'd want to leave your kids 186 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: with her at the barbecue, you know, for for the 187 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: day and know that they have a great time. Like 188 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: she's a lovely person. 189 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: Well, and what it's representative of is I've seen less 190 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: of this, but I was concerned on Sunday when you say, hey, 191 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: I don't believe Joe Biden when he says he found 192 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: out he had cancer on Friday. That doesn't mean that 193 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: you want somebody to be unsuccessful in their fight against cancer, right, 194 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: And so when you criticized Joe Biden, what they tried 195 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 2: to say was, oh, well, that's you're being unfair. You're 196 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: going after him because of a stutter, which is designed 197 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: to limit any criticism by directly attacking you. That is 198 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 2: a clear attempt that they made to try to protect 199 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: Biden by attacking anybody or raising it as an issue. 200 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: Pure propaganda, which nobody believed. And here's why they Clay, 201 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: no person would think, first of all, if you're making 202 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: fun of a stutter, you would make fun of a stutter. 203 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: And nobody in public life would think that making fun 204 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: of a stutter is something that you should do, because 205 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: people would say that's cruel, that's a jerk move. Yeah, 206 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: talking about a president having dementia who has the nuclear 207 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: codes is fair gain. And by the way, this is 208 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: just a natural outgrowth of anything we don't like as racist, 209 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: anything we don't like as sexist. They don't actually address 210 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: the arguments. As soon as you go to a personal attack, 211 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: that is a sign that you have lost the argument. 212 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: But to Jake Tapper's minimal credit here he is. He 213 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: says he has apologized to Laura Trump cut for you cover. 214 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 3: The Biden presidency aggressively throughout the four years, and you 215 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 3: didn't cover mental acuity hardly at all. I mean time 216 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 3: and time again when issues came up. You seem to 217 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 3: be running cover for the president. Interested Well, I mean, 218 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 3: we'll start with a Laura Trump issue that you referred. 219 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 3: Do you want to apologize to Laura Trump? 220 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 7: Now I've already apologized her I called her months ago, 221 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 7: and what does she say. I mean, I don't want 222 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 7: to disclose the contents of a private conversation, but I 223 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 7: thought the conversation went well, and she said, she has 224 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 7: said this publicly, so I feel fine of sharing it. 225 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 7: She said that she would never mock anybody's stutter. 226 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 5: But I mean, you. 227 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: Know, after we did the research for this book and 228 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 4: I realized how bad his acuity issues were, I like, 229 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 4: I mean, I called Laura Trump and I said, you 230 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 4: were you were right. 231 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: She was totally right. I just got a why. I 232 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: just got to keep repeating at Clay, this was not 233 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: a mistake. It was an op. Just for every thing 234 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: you hear from these Democrats about this, it was not 235 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: a mistake. It was an op. Just have that running 236 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: through your head. They knew what they were doing. They 237 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: knew all along, and we knew all along, and we 238 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: knew that they knew that we knew, and yet the 239 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: game just kept on playing out like this, Which is why, 240 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I see, here's the thing, Clay, I correctly 241 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: not to religate this. I correctly identified the ruthlessness and 242 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: the lying nature of the Democrat Party with regard to 243 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: Biden in twenty twenty four. The only wrinkle in my whole, 244 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: the only wrinkle in my whole thesis all along, stretching 245 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: back for years, the debate that was the whole. That 246 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: was when if they had gotten through that debate, Biden 247 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: was the candidate. Everybody should remember that he had cancer. 248 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: They knew they hit it, and they knew he had dementia, 249 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: and they were hiding that all along. 250 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: And they would have never told these stories if he 251 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 2: had won the election. That's the other thing about this. 252 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: The whole game was they have the cancer out, they 253 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: talk about his cancer. He steps down for that, not dementia, 254 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: and no one asked any questions, and Kamalas starts giving 255 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: speeches about being the first black woman president. Totally, And 256 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: the only reason now that this book is coming out 257 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: is because Jake Tapper has no benefit whatsoever from having 258 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: to play a Democrat propagandist, so he can effectively bury 259 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: Biden's political legacy and to a large extent, Kamalis too, 260 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: because I think the conversation is going to shift to 261 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: what Kamala, you argued for years that Biden was okay. 262 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: I think this is going to sabotage any future that 263 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 1: Kamala had. So they've taken her down. This takes her 264 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: down to this is this is what's got along She's 265 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: I told you, remember this, I told all of you. 266 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: She's gonna end up provost at some U C. School, 267 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: you know, and they're just gonna She's gonna be kind 268 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 1: of sent sent to the archives, as we used to 269 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: say in the CIA, send to the archives. 270 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 2: I think this is going to be tough, honestly for 271 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 2: anybody that was in the Biden cabinet when they try 272 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 2: to run into one. Maybe not in the Democrat primary, 273 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: although I'm curious for the outsiders who weren't in the 274 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: Biden camp whether they can attack this and whether it 275 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: has residents, but certainly in the general election. Can you 276 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 2: imagine jd Vance running against mayor Pete or somebody like 277 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: that and saying, dude, you lied to us for four 278 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: years about Biden's mental acuity. Why can we trust you 279 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: on anything? I think that will register really well with 280 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: independent voters. You know what else registers well, Buck's nervousness. 281 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 2: You might even be able to hear it during the 282 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 2: course of today's show.

They were in 306 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: places with downpower lines and extremely limited communication services.

Have 323 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: you seen this yet, Buck, Oh yeah uh. 324 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 2: He dimmed the lights in the Oval Office and played 325 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: a four and a half minute video of South African 326 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 2: lawmakers demanding that white people be killed and their land 327 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 2: be seed. And it is blowing up everywhere as we speak. 328 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 2: I am scrolling through to see how South Africa's leader responded, 329 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: but it is It is really pretty extraordinary, these moments 330 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: that Trump is having in the Oval Office with leaders 331 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 2: of foreign countries, whether it was Zelenski in February, now 332 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 2: the South African leader today.

Unacceptable and 337 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: this has just happened, So we will pay attention to you. 338 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: I just wanted to give you a heads up. Buck. 339 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 2: This is something we've talked about quite a lot on 340 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 2: the show and it has not gotten very much attention. 341 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: But remember one of the CNN commentators said, why don't 342 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: they just go back to where they're from? And many 343 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: of these South African white farmers have been there for 344 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 2: hundreds of years, some of them since the sixteen hundreds. 345 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 2: And these were people that have been victims of violence 346 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 2: at high levels. 347 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: The Dutch East India company land around the what is 348 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: it the Cape of Good Hope around sixteen fifty four, 349 00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: and the Dutch didn't displace and there was no one there. 350 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: Now you could say there was somebody there in the 351 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: land that is now currently South Africa. Yeah, but it 352 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: was a sparsely populated land. Here's some things that people 353 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: don't ever think about when they talk about this what 354 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: was considered tribal land at that point. Well, they may 355 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: be curious to know that in the seventeenth century and 356 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: that part of Africa, the tribes almost to I think 357 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: every single one. I mean, I'm trying to think of 358 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: there's any exception Clay. They were migrant herdsmen, if you will. 359 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: So they were constantly on the move. They would move 360 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: with the seasons, they would move with their herds. They 361 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: were overwhelming a herding societies. So what's their land or 362 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: rather how much land or what really is is why 363 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: is it that there is an assumption that to be 364 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: native to Africa you have to be black. There are 365 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: people now I know, people are going to say, everybody 366 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: originated from Africa, and I'm aware of this too, and 367 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: the you know, the anthropological origins of the human species. 368 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: But there's the whole northern part of Africa. Is you know, 369 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: is Egypt part of Africa. It's a fun thing to 370 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 1: ask people, this is Egypt part of Africa? They go, well, yes, 371 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: but so are Egyptians Africans? People will say no, and 372 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 1: you say why why is not the case? Of course 373 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: they're Africans right. 374 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 9: Anyway, It's interesting the way these things are spoken about 375 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 9: and talked about because the storyline, now, yes, was there 376 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 9: a racist system of apartheid instituted that you know, needed 377 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 9: to be overturned. 378 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: Absolutely, it happened. But they didn't overturn it with a 379 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: system that was also not race or rather that was 380 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: not racist. They overturned it with a system that was 381 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: explicitly racist. It just switched the direction of the racism. 382 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,360 Speaker 1: And what you see now with Trump showing everybody what's 383 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: really going on, is that the objection. You know, Clay, 384 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: we've been covering the immigration issue very closely every time, 385 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: and I used to have these fights and you know, 386 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: when I lived in DC for a couple of years, 387 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: I was doing the show at the Hill, we'd have 388 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: all these democrat I would say, these people are not 389 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: asylum segreas, so yes they are. They deserve their day 390 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: in court, they deserve to present evidence to show. I'm like, 391 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: these people are showing up with with Q cards that 392 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 1: say in whatever language they speak, you know, and by 393 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: the way, I mean actual QUE cards. They actually would 394 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: have this written out. Sometimes I have a credible fear 395 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: of violence in my insert the blank country, and that 396 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: was how you pass their credible fear test. Clay. I 397 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: bring this up because all the media are assuming that 398 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: these fifty migrants that we've taken in from legally taken 399 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: in from South Africa are not deserving of asylum. They 400 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: have no idea, None of these people have, you know, 401 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: they haven't looked into their individual cases. Their objection to 402 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: the South African migrants, and this goes to what Trump 403 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: is is explicitly I think showing every right now is 404 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: that they are white and that they've come here legally. Yeah. 405 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 2: Look, sorry, I'm just catching up because of this Oval 406 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 2: office event reminds me of what happened with Ukraine, where 407 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: we're live on the air and we're like, oh, my goodness, Like, 408 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 2: this is kind of remarkable. I'm sending some clips in 409 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 2: to our team so that they can be on top 410 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 2: of this and we can share with all of you. Look, 411 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: this is I think significant. So you might say, okay, 412 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 2: why does this matter? 413 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 5: Right? 414 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: Well, and again I'm texting in different clips that have 415 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 2: just happened in the Oval Office to our team so 416 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: that we can make sure that we're. 417 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: On top of this. 418 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: What is really happening here in the Oval Office is 419 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 2: and this is unique. I don't remember this happening very often. 420 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 2: Trump has decided that one of the best ways he 421 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,199 Speaker 2: can dominate the news cycle and force the media to 422 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 2: talk about what he wants them to talk about is 423 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 2: do it while you have these gatherings with foreign leaders 424 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: in the Oval Office, which are traditionally just kind of banal. 425 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: There's not a lot of news that comes out of them. 426 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: They talk about how much they like each other, and 427 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 2: it's a kind of a grip and grin handshake stuff. 428 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: Event Trump is turning them into must see television and 429 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 2: also forcing then the media to cover what takes place there. Now, 430 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: I can already tell you what the response to this 431 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: is going to be. Oh, Trump only cares about violence 432 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: in South Africa when it impacts white people, right, And 433 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 2: they're going to say, well, yes, there is violence against 434 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 2: white people in South Africa, but South Africa has huge 435 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 2: rates of violence overall, and black people are actually much 436 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 2: more likely to be victims of violence in South Africa, 437 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 2: which is true because they're the majority of the country. 438 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: But I'm just telling you what the talking points will 439 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 2: be in response to this. 440 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: But let's keep digging into this, right, Let's keep having 441 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: this fight with them, because they're wrong, and so they'll lose. 442 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: The more that's exposed, the more that is known about this, 443 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: the weaker the Democrat position becomes, which is true of 444 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: almost every Democrat position, I think, But in this case, 445 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: I think they're digging a deeper hole for themselves than 446 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: they realize. First of all, the people, and you're right 447 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: about what their talking points will be. The people that 448 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: would make that case, though, are also people who in 449 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: this country, for example, well say they only care about 450 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: let's say police brutality or police violence that involves members 451 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: of the black community, correct, even though guess what, overwhelmingly 452 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: it is members of the white community who suffer from 453 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: state or police violence. But they will say, oh, it's 454 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: all about the proportion. Okay, Well, then let's take a 455 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: look at the proportional violence in South Africa, and let's 456 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: also take a look at the you know, the reason, 457 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: the motive for that violence, and it is in many 458 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: cases explicitly anti white and it is encouraged by the state. 459 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: So mir the people who are objecting to the South 460 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: African migrants when they apply a similar framework of state 461 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: violence racism in this country, you can see they actually 462 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: have no principles to work on whatsoever, that it's only 463 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: what happens here and what happens there they view as 464 00:24:54,160 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: totally you know, irrelevant comparisons when they're actually very apt comparisons. Yeah. 465 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean I use this analogy all the 466 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 2: time because I think it is an important aspirational goal. Lady, 467 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: justice is blind, go look at any exact I've heard 468 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 2: you say that before, You've heard me say it. But 469 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: I think it's it's such an important example to use 470 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 2: because it's an aspirational goal for all of society that 471 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 2: we would weigh guilt or innocence based. 472 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: Not in any way on what the. 473 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: Race or gender, or ethnicity, or religion or sexuality is 474 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 2: of the accused that we would just look at the facts, 475 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 2: and in many ways, what happens is we swung right 476 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 2: from admittedly racism against minorities to racism is okay in 477 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: favor of minorities to make up for racism in the past, 478 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 2: and we skipped right over trying to have fair and 479 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: impartial application of justice. 480 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: Well, this is now you're hitting on the critical principle 481 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: that is so upsetting. So there's the immigration component of 482 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: this right, which is America shouldn't take in any white 483 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: people really as immigrants period. I mean, that's what the 484 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 1: Democrats actually want. Democrats believe that a less white America 485 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: will inherently be a more just America because it is 486 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: the white people in America who do all the oppressing, 487 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: right if you actually take their life, So they think 488 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: that a more just America must be a less white America. 489 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: That is a left wing Democrat belief. So that's on 490 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: the immigration piece, Clay. But the other piece, which is 491 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: what you just touched on, is in South Africa, you 492 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: have a dender rights case of black racism against white 493 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: people as a matter of law, as a matter of policy, 494 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: and as a matter of day to day life. Well, 495 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: if it's possible. There doesn't that go against the narrative 496 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: in this country of only white people can be racist? Yes, 497 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: it distracts. 498 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 2: This is what I would say is a foundational idea 499 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 2: that I would encourage all of you to contemplate if 500 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 2: you haven't already come to the conclusion white, Black, Asian 501 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 2: and Hispanic people can all be racist. That is one 502 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: billion percent true. 503 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: Kind of like we're very anti cancer here, we're very 504 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: anti racism. Yes, but you know the thing with like 505 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 1: the cancer, like there's no good cancer, and there's no 506 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: good racism. We're anti it across the board. I'm anti 507 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: any racial animis based on skin color. I'm anti all tumors, right, 508 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: I mean this is you can be consistent. Yes, and 509 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: we wish nobody ever died. We would be very pro 510 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 1: immortality too. Yes, we are pro anti death, anti death, 511 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: pro living. But I do think that that statement that 512 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: I just made white, black, Asian, and Hispanic people can 513 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: all be racist. Many Democrats, many left wing voters would say, no, Clay, 514 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: you're wrong. Oh, the fundamentally reject that, Yes, only white 515 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: people can be racist, and therefore we can only focus 516 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: on racism white in the direction of black Asian or Hispanic. 517 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: And what's really fascinating about this is you questioned me. 518 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: You say, Okay, Clay, I don't disagree. 519 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 2: Remember when stop Asian Hate just vanished, when they decided 520 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 2: that Asian hate was actually being driven. 521 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: You know what the problem with that campaign was surveillance cameras. Yeah, 522 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: it was rough. They started rough. 523 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 2: It was like two months they were like this and 524 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 2: it was that post COVID they were like, this rise 525 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: of anti Asian hate is unexcepted. 526 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: They the media was like, must be guys named Billy, 527 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: Bob and Maga. 528 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 2: Hats and no, it turned out it was not mostly 529 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 2: black guys beating up innocent Asian people. And they were like, oh, well, 530 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: Asian hate's really not that big of a deal. And look, 531 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: hate is wrong. Racism is wrong, but it can run 532 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 2: in many different directions, be condemned everywhere. 533 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: By the way, this is interesting too. Trump. 534 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 2: I don't know I've ever seen a president who loves 535 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 2: athletes more. He's got Ernie Els and Ratief Goosen, two 536 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 2: famous South African golfers with him in the media, and 537 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 2: Ernie Els and Ratief Goosen have spoken out to say 538 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 2: they want to see the country flourish, but they have 539 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 2: to end racism in the country in order for that 540 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 2: to happen. So those are two white golfers who many 541 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: of you out there who are golf fans will know 542 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 2: very well, Ernie L's or Chief Goosen, both major winners 543 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 2: in the PGA Tour, and just goes there just this 544 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 2: is another moment where Trump is forcing the Democrats. It's 545 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 2: like the MS thirteen guy and that we're all supposed 546 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 2: to care so much that he was deported, you know, 547 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 2: the bad guy. Trump is forcing the Democrats here because 548 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: he knows how they think to defend the indefensible, which 549 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 2: is the policies right now of South Africa. They are 550 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 2: morally and intellectually indefensible. If you're anti racism, yes, and 551 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 2: it's an example of moving from apartheid, which was wrong, 552 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: to now a new form of racism, which is white 553 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: no longer being in the control of the government. I 554 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 2: think they're seven percent of the population. I would also 555 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: point out and being discriminated against by the majority black 556 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 2: ruling class. Now I would also point out Elon Musk 557 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 2: is South African, so I think I would I would 558 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 2: bet that one reason Trump has become more aware of 559 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 2: this is that Elon Musk has been outspoken about what 560 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: he has seen in his country, and I think Trump 561 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 2: has certainly become aware of it in a way that 562 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: he might not have. 563 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: Think about how powerful the narrative really is that's been 564 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: sort of foisted on everybody in this country. Can you say, 565 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: if you walk into a room, you're like, Elon Musk 566 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: is an African. Do people think that you're you know 567 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: that that's weird? They they they there's automatically right, you 568 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: say it, and they go, oh, whoa, whoa, what do 569 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: you mean? So, so there are land masses that are 570 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: only for certain like massive land masses that are only 571 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: for people of a certain skin color. Is that is 572 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: not the position that they take, but that is the 573 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: position that democrats take. 574 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 2: Evon Musk is factually the most successful African American in 575 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 2: the history of the United States. 576 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: He's the most yeah, most American in the world. 577 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 2: Yes, maybe the most successful African American in the history 578 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 2: of Africa existing as we know it in civilization. Certainly 579 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 2: he's up near the top of the list. Maybe they'll 580 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,479 Speaker 2: make a statute to him in the new African American 581 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 2: Museum going up on the National mall. That would be 582 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 2: Can you imagine Can you imagine the reaction if Trump 583 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: came out and said, Hey, I think we need an 584 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: Evon musk wing in the new African American mall that's 585 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: going up on the Capitol, the Capitol Mall that the 586 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 2: reaction to that would be absolutely hysterical. 587 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: All right, look, we'll get back into this.

It's a very topical 619 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 6: book because it deals with all the preventive mechanisms that 620 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 6: we use to try to stop crying from occurring. Like 621 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 6: deportation also, yep. 622 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: I was going to jump right into that. I mean, 623 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: tell us about tell us about the deportation piece, and 624 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: how you think the administration is doing on a legal 625 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: front there. 626 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 6: Well, you know, deportation is one of the oldest forms 627 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 6: of prevention known to humankind. That used to be called exile. 628 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 6: If we were afraid of somebody, we would exile them 629 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 6: and make them leave the country. And so we're using 630 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 6: that now as a mechanism of prevention. And I would 631 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 6: say that I would give a split verdict to the administration. 632 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 6: They're doing the right things substively. That is, they're trying 633 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 6: to throw the right people out. They're trying to make 634 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 6: sure that we're not subject to crime by gang members. 635 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 6: On the other hand, they're not doing such a great 636 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,240 Speaker 6: job on due process. And the Supreme Court has basically 637 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 6: come down with split decisions. They basically said, look, the 638 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 6: president has the authority to decide who's in the country 639 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 6: and who's not in the country, but he has to 640 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 6: cross every constitutional t and dot every constitutional ie. And 641 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 6: so the courts have struck back on some of the 642 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 6: mechanisms that are being used, but they said it's okay 643 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 6: to use deportation as a method of crime prevention. 644 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: I'm talking to Alan Dershowitz. You and I have tried 645 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 2: a similar path where I voted Democrat and then democrats 646 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 2: I started to see losing their mind, and I have 647 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 2: changed how I voted. I'm curious for you. You've had 648 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 2: a longer career in the law than I have, by 649 00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,760 Speaker 2: by far, and a much more successful one. 650 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: But I'm also a lawyer. 651 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,479 Speaker 2: When did in your mind it go from a quote 652 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 2: unquote traditionally liberal perspective to stand, for instance, for First Amendment, 653 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: free speech, for basic principles of fairness, and turn into 654 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 2: more of a conservative one. Do you remember a point 655 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,960 Speaker 2: in time when you looked around and said, boy, the 656 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 2: ACLU isn't the ACLU that I grew up supporting. 657 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 6: Well supporting. I was on the national board. I was 658 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 6: the youngest person on the national board of the ACOU. 659 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 6: I spent years supporting the ACO you. I worked with 660 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 6: the ACOU to defend the rights of Nazis to march 661 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 6: in Skokie, Illinois. I defended people on death row. As 662 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 6: an ACOU lawyer, I won't give a nickel to the ACOU, 663 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 6: and I called the ACO you the anti Civil Liberties Union. 664 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 6: They have become completely partisan in political Once every two 665 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 6: years they represented a Nazi in order to show that 666 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 6: they're still civil libertarians. But the vast, vast, vast majority 667 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 6: of their work is on progressive, woke, left wing causes, 668 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,319 Speaker 6: and you know, they've become kind of a leader and 669 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 6: the weaponization of the legal system against Donald Trump, against Republicans, 670 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 6: against Conservatives, against Christians, and so I'm totally contemptuous. You know, 671 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 6: it's interesting. I've devoted my whole life to human rights, 672 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 6: civil liberties, and civil rights. I now see something that 673 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 6: s marks civil liberty, civil rights, human rights, I throw 674 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 6: in the garbage pail because I know it's going to 675 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 6: be on the wrong side of everything. Today. Human rights 676 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 6: has just turned against Israel, against the United States, against Christianity, 677 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 6: against decency, and so I have no support for those 678 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 6: concepts anymore. They've been hijacked, they've been taken away. And 679 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 6: I'm still a civil libitarian. And you know, I describe 680 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 6: myself as a constitutional libertarian, but as well as a 681 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:05,240 Speaker 6: meritocratic Egallon Tarrian and a constructive contrarian. So I haven't changed. 682 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 6: But like Ronald Reagan said, the Democrats have left me. 683 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 6: I left the Democratic Party hours after the Democratic Convention 684 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,399 Speaker 6: this year when I saw that they were picking one 685 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 6: after the other progressive, anti liberal speakers, anti israel speakers, 686 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 6: sometimes anti Semitic speakers, and the Republicans were doing a 687 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 6: better job and preserving liberty and democracy and freedom of speech. 688 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 6: I'm not a Republican. I'm an independent, but I'm not 689 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 6: a Democrat. 690 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: How'd you vote? 691 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 6: I can't say, because I you know, I love sleeping 692 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 6: with my wife, and and you know she has made 693 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 6: me sworn me to secrecy. I can tell you this. 694 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 6: I voted for Biden and I word for Hillary Clinton. 695 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 6: But I'm not going to disclose how I voted in 696 00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 6: the last in the last election, and or how I 697 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 6: would vote in the next election. But I have been 698 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,759 Speaker 6: supportive of many of the things that Trump has done, 699 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,280 Speaker 6: just as I was supportive of many of the things 700 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 6: that previous presidents have done well at the same time 701 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 6: being critical of many of the things. And deportation is 702 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 6: one of the things I'm concerned about. I'm also concerned 703 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 6: that Donald Trump may abandoned Israel. That's been a concern 704 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 6: for me. And is he going to allow Israel to 705 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 6: protect itself against the potentional nuclear Iran. I don't know 706 00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 6: the answer to that question. In my book To Prevent 707 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 6: a State, I spend a lot of time on the 708 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 6: Iran issue because that's the personification of preventive attack. I 709 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 6: use the example of Nazi Germany in nineteen thirty five, 710 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 6: when Britain and France could have destroyed Nazi Germany before 711 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 6: it was capable of destroying all of Europe and killing 712 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 6: fifty million people, and they didn't do it because they 713 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 6: didn't take it was seriously and you know, peace in 714 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 6: our time, Chamberlain, and that enabled Hitler to kill fifty 715 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 6: million people. Had they attacked, they would have you know, 716 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 6: killed fifteen fifteen thousand people with twenty thousand people, and 717 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 6: they would have defeated Nazi Germany. But you know, were 718 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 6: history is blind to the future, and we just don't know. 719 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 6: At that time, we didn't know what we were stopping, 720 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 6: and so I spend time in my book on that 721 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,880 Speaker 6: as well. 722 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: The preventive state the challenge of preventing serious harms while 723 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,080 Speaker 1: preserving es central liberties. Professor Dershweriz's book just came out yesterday, 724 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 1: and Professor Derschwitz, if I could draw upon your time 725 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 1: as a criminal defense attorney. I know you're not on 726 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: this case. That would be interesting. You're not on this case, 727 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: but I'm sure you've been following it and seeing in 728 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: the headlines. What is your just overall sense as to 729 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: the likely outcome to the degree you can see it 730 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: this early on in the case, or perhaps the pitfalls 731 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,760 Speaker 1: for either the defense or the prosecution in the Sean 732 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 1: Combs aka Puff Daddy a k a. P. Diddy sex 733 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 1: trafficking case that's getting a lot of attention to headlines 734 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: given how high profile mister Combs is. 735 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 6: If I had to make a prediction, I would predict 736 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,279 Speaker 6: that he'd get convicted and that his conviction would have 737 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 6: reversed on appeal. I don't understand how a jury should 738 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,320 Speaker 6: be able to see that horrible video of him kicking 739 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 6: and beating up his girlfriend in the whole way of 740 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 6: the hotel. That's not what he's charged with. He's charged 741 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 6: with running you know, a Rico enterprise, and that that 742 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 6: tape is so done prejudicially. You can't get it out 743 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,959 Speaker 6: of your head. As soon as you see that tape 744 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 6: and say to yourself, I want to convict the son 745 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,160 Speaker 6: of a bitch, and so I think it will be 746 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 6: reversed on appeal. But it's very hard to believe that 747 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 6: a jury won't find his conduct up. 748 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,439 Speaker 1: But why do you think, Professor derschwud Selina? So clearly 749 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: you're right, I mean, the guy's a mind. The guy's 750 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: a bad guy. I mean everyone, there's no right. He's 751 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 1: not on trial for being a good guy or a 752 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: bad guy. He's a bad guy. That's very clear, and 753 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: I think even the defense isn't really contesting that. But 754 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,359 Speaker 1: as a matter of law, why would you how would 755 00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: you see it? Perhaps, and again I know you're we're 756 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: asking you to sort of see into the future, which 757 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,840 Speaker 1: is tough, But how would you see it being overturned? 758 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 1: If let's say the jury does what you think, why 759 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: would you think then that it might be overturned. 760 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 6: On appeal for the same reason that the Harvey Weinstein 761 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 6: New York conviction was overturned, And that is the admissibility 762 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 6: of prejudicial material that swayed the jury to convict. Even 763 00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 6: though the elements of the crime and the elements of 764 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 6: RICO are very tough to establish, and the elements of 765 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 6: you know, conducting sex trafficking business so that would be 766 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 6: the grounds for reversal. That evidence came in that should 767 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 6: never have been seen by the jury. 768 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 2: All right, let me go back to your experience, and 769 00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 2: you're staying committed to principal aclu and everything else we 770 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 2: talked earlier on this program. As suddenly Jake Tapper writes 771 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 2: a book and says, boy, we could have never known 772 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 2: that Joe Biden wasn't mentally or physically competent for the job. 773 00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 2: And the New York Times and the Washington Post right 774 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,479 Speaker 2: editorial saying, boy, you know, somebody really should have said 775 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 2: something about the state that Biden was in. And you know, 776 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:29,240 Speaker 2: the media ostensibly does exist to speak truth to power. 777 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,640 Speaker 2: They wrote democracy dies in darkness at the top of 778 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 2: the Washington Post. You are steeped in liberal circles where 779 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 2: you hang out, where you live. What are people who 780 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 2: read the New York Times and watch MSNBC. What are 781 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 2: they saying in conversations that you hear. Do they feel 782 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 2: as if they have been lied to? Or are they 783 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 2: so convinced that Trump is hitler that they don't even 784 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,400 Speaker 2: care if they're being lied to because it's a price 785 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 2: worth paying. 786 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:57,680 Speaker 1: What are you here? 787 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 6: So it's the latter. They're praising people who lied, and 788 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 6: they wished the lie had been successful and that Biden 789 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 6: would have been allowed to run because many of them 790 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,600 Speaker 6: think that Biden would have snuck past the finish line 791 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 6: because he's more likable than Kamila Harris. I don't know 792 00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,439 Speaker 6: whether that's true or not. I'm not a polster, but 793 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,480 Speaker 6: I can only tell you that people on the MS 794 00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,320 Speaker 6: on that side, the New York Times, CNM, MSNBC side, 795 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 6: they don't care about lying. They would have been very 796 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 6: happy if there had been a complete, in total and 797 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 6: successful cover up in order to defeat Trump, and then 798 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 6: Biden would be president for a couple of months, and 799 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 6: then he'd have to leave office, either through the twenty 800 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 6: fifth Amendment or by resignation, and then we'd have Kamil 801 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 6: Harris as president. That's what the Martha's Vineyard crowd is 802 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 6: objecting to, not that they were denied the truth, but 803 00:43:56,560 --> 00:44:00,799 Speaker 6: that they didn't do a good enough job covering up 804 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:01,280 Speaker 6: the truth. 805 00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this too, Given that I think 806 00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 2: anybody who's the rational reasonable person would acknowledge that Biden 807 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 2: was not mentally or physically capable of being president in 808 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 2: the United States, do you, as a warrior, believe there 809 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 2: is any value in challenging some of the decisions made 810 00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 2: by Biden, for instance, this big pardon, expansive pardons that 811 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 2: he gave at the end of his tenure based on 812 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 2: his mind not being capable of entering into the decisions 813 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 2: that were being made. Is there any legal ground there 814 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 2: in your mind to challenge these things. 815 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,320 Speaker 6: I don't think so, because then you'd have to challenge 816 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 6: probably some of the things at the end of the 817 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 6: Reagan of presidency, maybe the Roosevelt presidency, certainly the Widrick 818 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:50,720 Speaker 6: Wilson presidency. You know, there if in fact Biden didn't 819 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 6: know that things were being signed for him by the 820 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,919 Speaker 6: use of the auto pen, that might pose an interesting challenge. 821 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 6: It would have to be something it was constitutionally required 822 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:05,439 Speaker 6: to be signed, like a law. Pardons, for example, don't 823 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,680 Speaker 6: have to be signed. You can just give an oral pardon, 824 00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,400 Speaker 6: but for a law to be valid, it has to 825 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,279 Speaker 6: be the signed or vetoed by the president. And if 826 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 6: it could be demonstrated that Biden didn't really know and 827 00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 6: that he was he had authorized somebody else to do 828 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 6: the signing, that could raise could raise problems. You know, 829 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,320 Speaker 6: in some respects. All of this goes back to prevention, 830 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,799 Speaker 6: because what is the twenty fifth Amendment all about. It's 831 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 6: all about trying to prevent a non qualified president from 832 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 6: having access to the nuclear trigger. And you know, we 833 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:45,879 Speaker 6: do so many things preventively in order to assure that 834 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 6: greater dangers don't exist, and we have to make sure 835 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 6: that when we do it, we do it according to 836 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 6: due process. And that's the crisis we're in now. We're 837 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,800 Speaker 6: not in a constitutional crisis. We're in a political crisis 838 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,839 Speaker 6: and a constitutional conflict, and the Constitution is so far 839 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 6: figured out ways of getting resolving these issues, and so 840 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 6: I'm not worried as long as President Trump says and 841 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:18,959 Speaker 6: really does not in any way violate a Supreme Court order, 842 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:20,360 Speaker 6: and we're not in a crisis. 843 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,800 Speaker 2: Last question for you quickly here because we've got to 844 00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 2: get to a break. But you talked about your experience 845 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,839 Speaker 2: with Trump and being of the opinion that he's better 846 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 2: on Israel issues than certainly Democrats have been based on 847 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,920 Speaker 2: the platform they put forward in the DNC two parter. 848 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 2: Do you hear a lot of Jewish people out there 849 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 2: acknowledging that Trump has been very good on Israel and 850 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 2: the second part of that do people say, Hey, you 851 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 2: can criticize him for a lot, but the idea that 852 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 2: he's Hitler is absolutely insane. I'm talking Jewish voters in particular. 853 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,640 Speaker 6: No, I wish they were more sensible Jewish voters. But 854 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:57,800 Speaker 6: there are a lot of Jewish voters who don't believe 855 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 6: he's supportive of Israel. Can't find you know, these are 856 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 6: people who are afflicted with Trump derangement syndrome. Some of 857 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 6: them also have bb derangement syndrome. And you know, neither 858 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 6: not who not Trump can do anything right. And so 859 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 6: if he's supportive of Israel, it must be for in 860 00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 6: an effort to get a plane from Qatar. If he's 861 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 6: against people on campus who are anti Semites or anti Israel, 862 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 6: has nothing to do with that Semitism. It has to 863 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:30,680 Speaker 6: do he doesn't like universities. Unless you are in some 864 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:35,000 Speaker 6: of these radical, progressive, woke, left wing circles, it is 865 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 6: impossible to understand the depths. I mean, they think it's 866 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 6: an insult to Hitler just say that Trump's Hitler. They 867 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,839 Speaker 6: think he's worse. I mean, these people just have no 868 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,840 Speaker 6: limit to what And by the way, I know people 869 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 6: in Israel have the same attitude to you. They cannot 870 00:47:55,280 --> 00:48:00,760 Speaker 6: be rational about those subjects. And it's too bad, because 871 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 6: you know, in both cases not to know and Trump 872 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,800 Speaker 6: have done many good things, and I've done some things 873 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,440 Speaker 6: that are subject to criticism, and people should have a 874 00:48:09,520 --> 00:48:10,880 Speaker 6: nuanced view, but they don't. 875 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 2: Alan Dershowitz appreciate the time, sir, book is out.

You were then 914 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 2: censored because you refuse to apologize for this. They would 915 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:27,760 Speaker 2: not allow you to vote to represent your constituents in Maine. 916 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,560 Speaker 2: You went to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court 917 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,839 Speaker 2: yesterday in a seven to two ruling said, the main 918 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 2: legislature has to allow you to do your job on 919 00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,080 Speaker 2: behalf of your constituents. 920 00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,400 Speaker 1: Have I got that right? Can you believe that all 921 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: this has actually happened? 922 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,839 Speaker 5: That is a very concise yet accurate summary, I would 923 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 5: have to say, And no, it is kind of It's 924 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,400 Speaker 5: pretty unbelievable when you say it like that. Remarkable that 925 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 5: a majority party would try to silence a member of 926 00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,919 Speaker 5: the minority party and take my constituents owed away. It's 927 00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,919 Speaker 5: astounding the defenders of democracy at work. 928 00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,879 Speaker 1: What what exactly is there? And Laurel, appreciate you being 929 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,759 Speaker 1: with us and thank you for doing what you've been 930 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 1: doing standing for what is I think obvious obvious truth 931 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: in this matter. But just so I'm clear on this, 932 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,920 Speaker 1: Clay's been following this story very closely. What is their 933 00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 1: rationale for silencing you? Like what you know, I understand 934 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 1: you've gone against the narrative, but officially speaking, on what 935 00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: grounds are they doing this? 936 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 5: Well, they don't really have good grounds to do this. 937 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 5: First of all, I haven't broken the law. I didn't. 938 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,480 Speaker 5: I didn't do anything even against our rules, which they're 939 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 5: claiming that I did. What I did was from the 940 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 5: privacy of my own home. I made a Facebook post 941 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,759 Speaker 5: and stood side by side of a biological male participating 942 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 5: in the pole vault, winning fifth place at a regional 943 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:57,080 Speaker 5: meet last year, and then ning the girls state championship 944 00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 5: this year. And you know, they say a picture speaks 945 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 5: a thousand words, and this did. And so the excuse 946 00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:08,759 Speaker 5: that they came up with was that this was a 947 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 5: photo of a minor. And I'll just remind folks that 948 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 5: when you win a state championship, you have to expect 949 00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 5: that your photo is going to be out there. And indeed, 950 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,440 Speaker 5: these were publicly shared photos that were public before I 951 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,239 Speaker 5: shared them. But that's the grounds that the Democrats are 952 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,600 Speaker 5: trying to stretch to to say that this was should 953 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:32,239 Speaker 5: not have been posted, and we use that to make 954 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 5: their unconstitutional censure and say that I'm not allowed to 955 00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:36,720 Speaker 5: represent my constituents. 956 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,000 Speaker 2: So you're still not allowed to speak on the floor 957 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:42,200 Speaker 2: of the state House. 958 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:42,879 Speaker 1: Is this true? 959 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,200 Speaker 2: In other words, while you're allowed to vote, you aren't 960 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,600 Speaker 2: allowed to make arguments about how you were voting. 961 00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 5: That is entirely accurate and it's just as ludicrous as 962 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,239 Speaker 5: it sounds. So I will be allowed to vote now, 963 00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,319 Speaker 5: but I will not be allowed to speak as the 964 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,799 Speaker 5: case makes its way through the courts. Of course, being 965 00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 5: able to vote on behalf of my constituents that is 966 00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,839 Speaker 5: the most important piece, and that's how my constituents had 967 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 5: been disenfranchised with not having a vote on the legislation. 968 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 5: And so that's what we requested from the Supreme Court 969 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 5: in our emergency application, was to have the ability to 970 00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 5: vote on behalf of my constituents. And on June fifth, 971 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 5: will be heard in the First Circuit Court of Appeals 972 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,919 Speaker 5: regarding the full case, and that includes getting my voice back. 973 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 2: Okay, So this is just bonkers to me that this 974 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 2: could become an issue in any state. But if it 975 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 2: became an issue, let's say in Illinois or in Vermont 976 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:47,960 Speaker 2: or in California, states that are overwhelmingly Democrat, that might 977 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,839 Speaker 2: make a little bit more sense. But Trump won one 978 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,840 Speaker 2: of the congressional districts in your state, the state was 979 00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:59,839 Speaker 2: decided by seven points overall. What percentage of main residents 980 00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,800 Speaker 2: do you think agree with the argument that you are making. 981 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,440 Speaker 2: What do you hear when you go out and about 982 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 2: in the state. 983 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,319 Speaker 5: Well, you know, when I talk to folks, it's clear 984 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,919 Speaker 5: that the polling that demonstrates two thirds of Manors don't 985 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 5: believe that biological mail should be participating in girls' sports 986 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 5: is extremely accurate. But I have to tell you, you know, 987 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 5: the numbers are even more startling than you may realize. 988 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 5: Of course, the breakdown by congressional district is impressive, but 989 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 5: when you get to actually how much the Democrats won 990 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,839 Speaker 5: the House majority by in our state of one point 991 00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 5: three million people, they only won the majority by sixty 992 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,840 Speaker 5: votes across the entire state. So they're ruling with an 993 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,759 Speaker 5: iron fist here and making these unconstitutional moves when they 994 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 5: only hold the majority by sixty votes. 995 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: Do you think, Laurel, there's going to be any political 996 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,960 Speaker 1: blowback on the Democrats? You know, I don't mean new 997 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:05,080 Speaker 1: cycle blowback, right, I mean, you know the next election cycle. 998 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,920 Speaker 1: Is this the kind of thing that, by the way, Manors. 999 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:10,800 Speaker 5: Is that right, Maynors. 1000 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:11,319 Speaker 6: You got it. 1001 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:16,160 Speaker 1: Mayners just making sure manors they see this and they realize, Wow, 1002 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:19,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats in our state have have lost their minds. 1003 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:20,360 Speaker 1: You know, what's your sense of that? 1004 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:22,000 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1005 00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,520 Speaker 5: You know, as I talk with folks, it does seem 1006 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,879 Speaker 5: apparent to everyone but Augusta Democrats that they have lost 1007 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,479 Speaker 5: their minds. And I say Augusta Democrats because this goes 1008 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,320 Speaker 5: across party lines. There are plenty of Democrats out and 1009 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 5: about in Maine who think it's insanity to allow biological 1010 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,600 Speaker 5: males to compete in girls' sports. And they also think 1011 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:45,200 Speaker 5: it's insanity to unconstitutionally bar a sitting legislator from voting 1012 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,040 Speaker 5: on behalf of her district. So the folks who are 1013 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,760 Speaker 5: in power in Augusta are way out on a limb here. 1014 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:56,400 Speaker 5: It is not a representative of your average manor that 1015 00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:57,520 Speaker 5: doesn't agree with them. 1016 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,879 Speaker 2: So obviously you have coming up in May next year 1017 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:07,000 Speaker 2: a big Senate race. Susan Collins, Republican, is going to 1018 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,400 Speaker 2: be up for reelection. I believe I'm correct in this, 1019 00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 2: You can correct me if I'm wrong. And that is 1020 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,040 Speaker 2: massive because Republicans have a fifty three to forty seven 1021 00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:19,239 Speaker 2: advantage and Susan Collins, one of the rare members of 1022 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,319 Speaker 2: the Senate who is representing a state that voted differently 1023 00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 2: in the presidential race, in other words, cross party. Am 1024 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,960 Speaker 2: I crazy or does this have to be a fairly 1025 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:34,359 Speaker 2: significant issue statewide in that race based on what the 1026 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,520 Speaker 2: Democrats in the legislature have done to you? 1027 00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,920 Speaker 5: I certainly hope this has significant influence in the twenty 1028 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:47,200 Speaker 5: twenty sixth election. Of course, we do have Senator Collins reelection. 1029 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:52,439 Speaker 5: She is the last Republican Senator in New England, which 1030 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:56,919 Speaker 5: is pretty remarkable. In addition, we also have a gubernatorial race. 1031 00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 5: We have of course the congressional CD one and CD two, 1032 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 5: and we also have the full legislature every two years, 1033 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 5: House and Senate up for a vote. And so you know, 1034 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,400 Speaker 5: I hope that this does come back to bite the 1035 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 5: Democrats next year, and I certainly will be working very 1036 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 5: hard to ensure that it does. 1037 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:21,439 Speaker 1: Laurel appreciates you standing strong on this issue, and as 1038 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,600 Speaker 1: you continue to do just that, we'll have you back 1039 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,280 Speaker 1: on the show. Make sure everybody knows about you're doing 1040 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 1: up in Maine. Beautiful along the coast, I hear maners 1041 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 1: have some great stuff up there. 1042 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,080 Speaker 5: Hey, it's gorgeous throughout. 1043 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 1: All right, wonderful, Thank you so much, thank you. All 1044 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,760 Speaker 1: righty Clay, I'm going to talk everybody about Birch Gold 1045 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:44,120 Speaker 1: here for a second. Let's do it. Look, I've been 1046 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,200 Speaker 1: a gold guy for a long time. I'm a believer 1047 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,840 Speaker 1: in gold and about it well over a decade ago. 1048 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:51,960 Speaker 1: Now is when I purchased my first gold. It's gold coins, 1049 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:53,760 Speaker 1: and they've gone up more than one hundred and sixty 1050 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,600 Speaker 1: percent in value. Today it's even easier to purchase gold. 1051 00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:58,640 Speaker 1: There are many more ways to do it because your 1052 00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: IRA or four oh one K, even your savings account. 1053 00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,880 Speaker 1: It's important as ever to do this given external factors 1054 00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 1: beyond our control and the systemic realities of our debt 1055 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,760 Speaker 1: and how we're gonna have financial issues as a country 1056 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,800 Speaker 1: in the future, and you just want to be prepared 1057 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 1: for it.

One of the best ways to protect your 1059 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,760 Speaker 1: savings is through that diversification I talked about with gold 1060 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 1: from the Birch Gold Group. The past twelve months, I 1061 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:27,840 Speaker 1: want you to know some of these numbers. Okay, the 1062 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: past twelve months, the value of gold has increased by 1063 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 1: forty percent. Now you're not like getting in and out 1064 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,760 Speaker 1: of gold, right, You're not. Oh wait, what about the 1065 00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 1: gold earnings report?

Central banks continue to buy gold 1068 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: and record quantities. You can easily convert an existing ira 1069 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,000 Speaker 1: or four okay, think about that old ira or four 1070 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 1: when k you have from a job, maybe you work 1071 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,600 Speaker 1: for five years, maybe ten years, whatever it is, and 1072 00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 1: it's just sitting there.
