1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,040
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody.

2
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: Thursday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show,

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: known to many as Clay and Buck, that starts right now,

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: and we got so much to get to. Let me

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 2: just give you a little bit of an outline before

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 2: we dive into all the biggest stories today. Uncle Bill

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: Bill O'Reilly joining us hour two. Talk to him about

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: how this whole Iran war thing is going and the

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 2: Save Act, Save America Act.

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: Have that discussion.

11
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: Senator Eric Schmidt will be with us, and we will

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 2: also have Senator John Cornyn with us. I would say

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: to any of you who have we have a lot

14
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: of Texans who listen Texas or California. Well those are

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: the two biggest states by population, so it's not really

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: that surprising, but it's either Texas or California is our

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: biggest state for listenership. So we have a lot of Texans,

18
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: and we love all of you. Not all of you

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: are huge Cornin fans. Some of you perhaps are. Send

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: us your questions for Senator Cornyn and we will see

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: if we can get a couple of them to him

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: on the air today as he is in this primary,

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 2: this contested primary, wondering if there will be a Trump endorsement.

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: That's a lot of eyeballs on this one, so we

25
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: will get to that. Three guests today, two Senators, Uncle Bill,

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: and now we can get into some of the news today.

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: Clay Little Mo as Clay calls him, Iran's new supreme

28
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: leader much Taba Kamina has issued a statement, but he

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: is well. Someone has issued a statement on his behalf.

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: He is apparently in a coma and missing a leg,

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: so he got hit in one of these air strikes

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: and they are putting.

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Him forward as the future of Iran.

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: That certainly goes to what level of pressure the leadership

35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: of Iran is under that even there next up at

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: Bat is having to have statements released from others around

37
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: him because he's in a coma from an air strike.

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: So essentially, the next person who raises their hand in

39
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: Iran and says I'm going to continue the Islamic revolution

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: in this country and i shall continue to fight against

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: the Great Satan and the Little Satan probably going to

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: get blown up. That is where we are right now,

43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: at least while these hostilities, these aerial campaign continues. Clay

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: oil price has surged a bit and there are concerns

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: as well, after two tankers were attacked, and I believe

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 2: are on fire in the straight of horror moves. So

47
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: they're continuing to try to go after the oil, the

48
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: global oil industry as their choke point, as their way

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: to hit back at US. Also, Trump monitoring Iranian terror

50
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: sleeper cells. A lot of concern about that, and I

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 2: think rightly concern concern about that, and we shall discuss that.

52
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: So Clay, I mean, first one.

53
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: Up here, we are in another day of this aerial campaign.

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: We now know that Munchtaba is in a coma. Little

55
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: mo is having a tough one. What do you think

56
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: about the latest here with the attacks on oil, oil

57
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: shipping and trying to make this a global environmental and

58
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: economic catastrophe to get this to stop, that's clearly the

59
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: Iranians play.

60
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 3: I think it actually is going to make President Trump angrier,

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: and I think it's actually going to result in a

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: worse outcome for Iran than if they allowed the oil

64
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: to transit without issues at all. And I'm pulling up

65
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: to check the oil price as we speak right now,

66
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: because it has been probably the number one story that

67
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: is out there, and it's hanging right around ninety dollars

68
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: a barrel, And you say, okay, Clay, where does that compare?

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: Is around sixty five dollars if I remember correctly, before

70
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 3: this war started, and now it's right around ninety dollars.

71
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: It went all the way up to one hundred and

72
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: twenty dollars Sunday in the opening hours of the of

73
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: the market, beginning with danger and fear, and so then

74
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: it crashed all the way back down to like seventy five.

75
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: It's come back up to around ninety. It's bounced around

76
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: a lot, and I think the question is how safe

77
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: is the Strait of Hormuz and what does that mean

78
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 3: for overall pricing of oil and gas? Now President Trump

79
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: has released I think it's one hundred and eighty million

80
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 3: barrels is what I saw from this strategic reserve. There's

81
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 3: four hundred million worldwide being released. My understanding, Buck, is

82
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: that that takes a couple of weeks to actually come

83
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: into the marketplace as a whole, because it takes a

84
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: while for all of those all those barrels of oil

85
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: to reach the marketplace.

86
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I stand corrected on that one. Chuck Schumer said,

87
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: do it, and Trump's actually doing it.

88
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: Now.

89
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 2: The Democrats are going to hit him for having to

90
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: do that, but the oil shock seems severe enough that

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: some effort to soften the blow is a blow to

92
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: your wallets essentially is underway. So there you go, Chuck

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 2: Schumer giving some good advice to his opposition. Hey, Clay,

94
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: even a broken clock, you know, So I'll take the

95
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: l on that one. Trump's doing it. This has cut

96
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 2: seventeen on gas prices. Trump last night at joint Base

97
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: Andrews hit it.

98
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: I say a timeline on when you're planning to tap

99
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: this Strateina petroleum. Preserve a timeline of.

100
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 4: When that we're going to be doing it very quickly,

101
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 4: and then we'll fill it up. We'll fill up our reserves,

102
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: you know, if you remember I filled them up.

103
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 5: And then I had a deal to go at the

104
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 5: highest level.

105
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 4: A level that's never been and Schumer and the Democrats

106
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: for twenty five dollars, and it was turned down. You

107
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 4: remember that, Peter, almost before your time, but not quite,

108
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 4: but it was. We had a deal at twenty five dollars.

109
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 4: Think of that, twenty five dollars a barrel, and the

110
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: Democrats turned that, We're we're gonna tap it out like

111
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 4: it's never a bit, but they turned that down and

112
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: now it's a.

113
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: Lot higher, played Trump, of course, saying Democrats had no

114
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: foresight on this issue. Not a surprise, but there's enough

115
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: of a jolt of the oil markets that there's serious

116
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: and immediate action being taken to stabilize things.

117
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 6: Yeah.

118
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: Look, and I think this is where the average American

119
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: is going to feel to the extent we do anything

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: going on with Iran is in oil and gas prices.

121
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: And I would just point out that two years of

122
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: oil and gas prices coming down, by and large, was

123
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: not a story that is almost I watch these television

124
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 3: broadcasts of the news almost every at least three hours

125
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: every day.

126
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: While I'm talking to all of you.

127
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 3: I have never seen CNN or MSNBC do a story

128
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: on boy, President Trump has really brought down gas prices

129
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: during his tenure in office. Never seen a story about

130
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: gas prices going down for a year and a half.

131
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 3: And now gas prices have gone up for a week

132
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: and it's the lead story on MSNBC and CNN. And

133
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: by the way, Buck, it vanished when oil and gas

134
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: prices went back down to seventy five. Now that they've

135
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: come back up to ninety. We're back to covering oil

136
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: and gas prices again. And they put the picture of

137
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: the oil and gas prices in the corner of the screen.

138
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: Right now, the talk talking point on CNN is oil

139
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: and gas prices, and talking point on MSNBC is oil

140
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: and gas prices. So I do think when it's a

141
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: good story, right for the year and a half that

142
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: the prices came down, not one mention of it for

143
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: the one week they've gone back up. Oh my goodness,

144
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: this is a story that we have.

145
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: To cover well.

146
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: As we know, journalism in America has foury fully morphed

147
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: into it's not about what you should know, it's about

148
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: telling the audience what they want to know.

149
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, what they want to hear, what they want to watch.

150
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: And that's really the case over at CNN, at MSNBC,

151
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: at MS now it's the case of Fox too. I

152
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: don't live in some delusional world. I mean, Fox is

153
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: going to have a right of center point of view.

154
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: But there's more, there's so much more honesty about that.

155
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: I mean, their primetime lineup, our opinion hosts. CNN still pretends,

156
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: CNN still pretends that they're just journalists, just Anderson.

157
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: Cooper could vote either way. Who knows? Does he love Trump?

158
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: Does he hate Trump?

159
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: Oil prices important today, unimportant yesterday?

160
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: I wonder why.

161
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 3: I also think this is important, and I think it

162
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: has been under discussed and it continues to be under discussed.

163
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 3: You can criticize Fox, and you can criticize them. You know,

164
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: they have sixty six percent of the news audience whatever

165
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: the heck. It is sixty percent on any given day,

166
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 3: bigger than MSNBC and CNN combined. Their entire business is

167
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: based on advertising, so their audience responds to things and

168
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 3: they cover it. That used to be the overarching way

169
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: that everybody made money. Now the New York Times makes money.

170
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 3: Washington Post makes money off subscriptions, and that's a very

171
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: different business model because subscribers want to be told that

172
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: their worldview is correct. When you're pegged to advertising, you're

173
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 3: trying to reach the biggest possible audience because that's how

174
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: you get paid. We get paid based on advertising, So

175
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: the bigger the audience is, the more money this show makes.

176
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: We're not making money off subscriptions. The New York Times.

177
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: Subscription changes the calculus of how the business is run.

178
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: And I was just looking. This just came across the line.

179
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: Buck New York Times has stunned me. Has doubled the

180
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: number of journalists that employees in the last ten years.

181
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: They have twenty three hundred journalists now, doubled what they

182
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: had just ten years ago. And that's to serve subscribers,

183
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: it's not to provide the best possible outcome to the

184
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 3: media ecosystem.

185
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: I also, though, think that there's and this has been

186
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: the case for a long time. This has been an

187
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: argument that I've been making since before I was in media.

188
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: There's a fundamental honesty with Fox News that which which

189
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: I think is part of why the audience is so durable,

190
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: sticky if you will, And it stays with Fox Watch.

191
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: There's a fundamental honesty about Yeah, of course, like the

192
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: opening mind, like Jesse Waters isn't sitting there like I

193
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 2: don't have any opinions. I'm just I'm just presenting the

194
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: objective news. Like that's insane. These other channels have been

195
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: doing this game of we're just we're just news. Yeah,

196
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: I'm not going the same thing with ABC News and

197
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: these other things. Same thing with those They're just lying,

198
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 2: They're just lying to people and eventually the lies got

199
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: to be too much. But back to the oil price situation,

200
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: I think Clay again, this is gonna be relatively short term,

201
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: and as long as that's the case, it will be fine.

202
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: Here's Energy Secretary Chris Wright, though we've had him on

203
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: the show. Very interesting guy. This is cut eighteen. He's saying, look,

204
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: the Biden administration was playing all kinds of politics with

205
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: this and not even using it for this is an

206
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: emergency situation. They were just using it to try to

207
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: to try to goose the numbers to look better.

208
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: Play eighteen.

209
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 5: We have about four.

210
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 7: Hundred and fifteen million barrels in storage right now. Very unfortunately,

211
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 7: the Biden administration drained almost three hundred million barrels out,

212
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 7: mostly the lower gasoline prices for a midterm election without

213
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 7: disruptions and energy flows.

214
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: That's not what the SPR is about.

215
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 7: The SPR is about this, when we have short term

216
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 7: disruptions and flows to replace those flows, but data, we

217
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 7: will simultaneously sell this oil in the near term when

218
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 7: it's needed and buy long term oil, meaning say twelve

219
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 7: months down the road, and we'll pull out one hundred

220
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 7: and seventy million barrels and we'll put back in two

221
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 7: hundred million barrels in the next year, So we'll actually

222
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 7: have more oil in our spr a year from now

223
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 7: than we do today.

224
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: That's the responsible way to use it. There you go again.

225
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: And what I think is so important about this is

226
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 3: the only reason this isn't a major, huge treformative danger

227
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 3: for us is because we actually produced so much more oil.

228
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: Were the energy superpower of the world. You want to

229
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: know why your grocery prices aren't skyrocketing and they're on

230
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: oil lines. Go thank and oil man, Go thank somebody

231
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 2: who works for Texico or whatever.

232
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: I mean.

233
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 3: That's because in the nineteen seventies, for those of you

234
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 3: who lived through it, we were able to be held

235
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 3: hostage effectively, both literally in the sense of what happened

236
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: with Iran with our embassy there, but they were able

237
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: to hold this hostage. Those of you who remember lining

238
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: up and having difficulty getting oil and gas, heck, buck,

239
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 3: I'm reading right now. I love reading about World War two.

240
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: You know that during World War Two, Americans were restricted

241
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: to four gallons of gas a week, so people barely

242
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 3: drove anywhere because of the huge shortage and the amount

243
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: of oil and gas we needed in order to fight

244
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: that war. At least they were in Iowa where I'm

245
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: reading about. Anyway, I love all of this, but the

246
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: reason we now have energy and dependent is because we

247
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 3: have unleashed the full economic spirit capitalistic success of our

248
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 3: oil and gas industry in a way that frankly didn't

249
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: exist in the forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties. For

250
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: those of you who remember the first goal for this

251
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: is an utterly different era, and I want to tell

252
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 3: you as we come up on the era that we

253
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: all experience the twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven,

254
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: Tunnel the Towers is having an incredible part of trying

255
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: to make sure that we all remember everything that happened

256
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: on September eleventh, two thousand and one, going back twenty

257
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 3: five years ago. I'm going to be participating in a

258

Speaker 3: for this event and Tunnel the Towers is committed to

260
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: helping veterans a chief, stability and independence, and we believe

261
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 3: no veteran should ever be left behind, and that is

262
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: what Tunnel the Towers is working on every single day.

263

Speaker 3: as assets and you want to give back to those

267
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: who have been putting their lives on the line to

268
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,559

Speaker 3: Hanging out with us as we are rolling through the program.

287
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: Here we are joined now by our friend Bill O'Reilly,

288
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 3: who has a brand new show debuting Will Do It Live,

289
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: which is one of the most viral Internet videos of

290
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: news history. I would suggest, and I love that you're

291
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: playing on the virality of that moment. What do you

292
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: remember from that day, Like, did you remember that clip

293
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 3: when it sort of started circulatings on social media or

294
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: was it so long ago that you had totally forgotten

295
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: about it?

296
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 8: Oh, I was.

297
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 9: Twelve years old, so I figured the statue of limitations.

298
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 8: Might have run out on it.

299
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 9: This is a great story. My whole staff turned on me,

300
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 9: so I was anchoring inside addition, and as I mentioned,

301
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 9: I was barely a teenager and the tech crew couldn't

302
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 9: get their act together and it was super annoying, and

303
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 9: I dropped a couple of f bombs and said, we'll

304
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 9: do it live, which we did, and that was that.

305
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 9: And then years later, when I became let's say notorious

306
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 9: on Fox News, somebody sold that clip wow, a far

307
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 9: left website for a large amount of money, and they

308
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 9: put it out in the viral world and it has become.

309
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 8: Worldwide.

310
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 9: And when I was in Iceland, I had people yelling

311
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 9: at me we'll do it live, and of course I

312
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 9: threw snowballs back at them. So anyway, we're looking for

313
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 9: a name for this law program we're going to do.

314
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 9: I hate to call it a podcast because podcasts are

315
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 9: basically two guys sitting in basement smoke at pot. That's

316
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 9: not what we do. Okay, It's a long form interview

317
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 9: with somebody you care about and somebody who's not a phony,

318
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 9: and we'll tell the truth. The first guy is Rob

319
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 9: Schneider that drops today, and Snyder goes through how he

320
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,479
Speaker 9: suffered in his career because he supports Donald Trump, and

321
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 9: he talks about Jimmy Kimmel. I mean, it's fascinating stuff

322
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 9: I've never heard before. But anyway, my staff, you're all younger. Oh,

323
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 9: we have a great name for this show. I said, okay,

324
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 9: what is it.

325
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 8: We'll do it live. They all started to laugh.

326
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 9: So not only did they turn against me, but they

327
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 9: wont I surrendered it all right, I don't care what

328
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 9: you call a damn show, but I didn't drop any

329
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 9: F bombs.

330
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Bill, we all we love. We

331
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: love the name. The audience loves the name. It's a

332
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: great it's a great name.

333
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: That clip of you is one of just like the

334
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: ten greatest viral and that was it was released pretty

335
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: early on in the viral internet game, so it really

336
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: had residents.

337
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: But we'll do it. We'll do it live.

338
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 2: I mean that line has probably been translated into one

339
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty languages.

340
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: Now.

341
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 9: I know it's unbelieving. If I had known who would

342
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 9: go like that, I would have done him many more times.

343
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: Oh, you guys, have it a couple of bleeps here,

349
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: Can't do it. We'll do it live.

00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 6: Okay, we'll do it lit, do it live.

357
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 2: So that's gonna be a great series and ever should

358
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: go check it out Billilly dot com. There's no I

359
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: gotta say hard turn here, Bill, because we're going we're

360
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 2: having a fun trip with you down nostalgia lane there.

361
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 2: But now we got to focus in on you know,

362
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: world peace, fixing America, all that stuff for a second.

363
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: How concerned are you? You're a balls and strikes calling guy.

364
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 2: How concerned are you with this campaign? Iran oil price spike?

365
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: Does Trump really know what the endgame is here? Do

366
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: you feel like this is going according to plan? Or

367
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: are you getting worried about it?

368
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 9: Well, any kind it's military action.

369
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,719
Speaker 8: I'm concerned.

370
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 9: From the very beginning of the adventure, if you want

371
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 9: to use that word.

372
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 8: It was a huge risk. The presidents aware of it.

373
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 9: If it goes his way, he will, I think, kind

374
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 9: of pulled himself into the top area of the presidential sweepstakes,

375
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 9: which is important to him his legacy. If it doesn't,

376
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 9: then the Republicans are likely to lose the midterms, so

377
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 9: a lot on the line. There's not one modern president

378
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 9: who would have done this. Maybe Teddy Roosevelt, but he

379
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 9: wasn't a modern guy. But even Teddy might have said,

380
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 9: you know, it's just too much uncertainty here. So the

381
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 9: thinking was that Iron is not going to stop developing

382
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 9: a nuclear weapon even though we hit them in June

383
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 9: of twenty twenty five.

384
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 8: They have other places.

385
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 9: Where they're developing this and they admit it.

386
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 8: It's not like he said. She said.

387
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 9: And in the last negotiation with Witkoff in Geneva, Switzerland,

388
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 9: the Iranian foreign minister basic say, look, we're gonna We're

389
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 9: not going to stop. We're going to develop this suclear

390
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 9: weapon and we don't care what you think. That was

391
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 9: it for Trump.

392
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 8: That was the end, and.

393
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 9: Then the president waited for an opening. The opening came

394
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 9: when the Israeli intelligence massaw It pinpointed the Iatolin twenty

395
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 9: five of his thug cronies, we're all going to be

396
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 9: together on a Saturday morning in a specific place in Tehran.

397
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 9: That information got to President Trump. He said, okay, uh, well,

398
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 9: let the Israelis wipe them off the face of the earth,

399
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 9: which happened, and then we'll follow up and destroy the

400
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 9: infrastructure of Iran's ability to wage offensive war, which is

401
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 9: underway now and which will succeed.

402
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 8: Now.

403
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 9: The unintended consequences are how much pain is that going

404
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 9: to cause the world economically. And the other unintended consequence

405
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 9: is that a lot of the media, the world, world

406
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 9: wide media, not just America, is rooting against America. They

407
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 9: want Iran to win, which is absolutely shocking to me

408
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 9: because this is a murderous nation. This is the third

409
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 9: Reich Light. They killed thirty thousand of their own people

410
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 9: a few weeks ago, thirty thousand, and you're rooting for

411
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 9: them to win. You want Trump to be humiliated. That's

412
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 9: what you're putting forth on CNN, the New York Times

413
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 9: and others. That's what you want, really think about it.

414
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 8: That is really a tipping point. Now.

415
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 9: President Trump himself believes what he wants to believe, and

416
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 9: he is convinced that the United States and Israel will

417
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 9: wipe out Iran's ability to wage offensive war. I believe

418
00:22:50,880 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 9: that is true, but the economic outcome is cloudy, and

419
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 9: that could mean the Democrats win the midterms of November.

420
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 9: And that's what we're looking at right now.

421
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 3: Bill, you may have talked to President Trump and actually

422
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 3: given him this advice. If you did, or if you

423
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 3: were asked what should victory look like here, what would

424
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: you suggest to President Trump? Given where we are right

425
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 3: now we've wiped out certainly a lot of the air Force,

426
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 3: a lot of the Navy, a lot of the military

427
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 3: capabilities of Iran are gone. We'll see whether or not

428
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 3: Mojtaba the sun here is or is not alive and

429
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 3: able to take power. But what would you say to

430
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 3: President Trump? Is an off ramp here? What should an

431
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 3: end in hostilities look like from a United States perspective?

432
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 9: Well, I did talk to President about it in a

433
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 9: one on one phone conversation. He called me, I never

434
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 9: call him. I mean, that's all my job, and he's

435
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 9: a president. I'm not going to intrude. And he said,

436
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 9: what would you do? And I said, I negotiate it

437
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 9: down to the fact that there'll be routine expects inside

438
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 9: Iran and they're not to develop a ballistic myscical capacity.

439
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 9: You have to downgrade revolutionary guard, and you have to

440
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 9: become a nation that does not wage war constantly or

441
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 9: finance terrorism. That's a negotiation the degree to that. Then

442
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 9: you would help them rebuild their economy. The problem is

443
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 9: that Oroon will say they'll do it, and then they

444
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 9: won't do it.

445
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 8: We all know that.

446
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 9: But that negotiated settlement I think still could happen, but

447
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 9: they're going to have to experience a lot of pain

448
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 9: before the Iranians get to that place, and.

449
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 8: So no one can say when that will end.

450
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 9: I mean it's like asking General Patent, you know, when

451
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 9: he's up trying to defeat the Nazis in Baston, how

452
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 9: is this gonna take General, you know, I mean, come on,

453
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 9: it's war. Those questions are ridiculous and stupid and immature

454
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 9: and designed to produce gotcha results. And that's all the

455
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 9: American press.

456
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 7: Well how long?

457
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 8: How long?

458
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 9: Nobody knows, and the American people it's a we have

459
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 9: a soft society. We don't want to be inconvenience to

460
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 9: pay more money for anything. And then you know, you

461
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 9: got to hate Trumpers. So it's very complicated. But I

462
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 9: think what will happen is that Iran will come back

463
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 9: to the table and there'll be some kind of an

464
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 9: agreement to neuter them as a state sponsored terrorist outfit.

465
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,600

00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 2: wing and right wing for a long time. Bill one

472
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: more topic for you before we got ahead into the break,

473
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,239
Speaker 2: So we'll do a kind of shorter version on it.

474
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: But this Save America Act, we're getting so much from

475
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 2: everyone listening about talk more about the Save America Act.

476
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: You got to push the Save America Act. And I

477
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: get it, and I agree with it, and I wish

478
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: it would pass. But I also feel like Majority Leader

479
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 2: Thoon plus about four or five other senators aren't going

480
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: to pass this thing.

481
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: So what are we supposed to do?

482
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: I mean, do you think that is there a world

483
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: in which there's enough pressure, enough phone calls on these senators?

484
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think you're getting McConnell and Murkowski

485
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: and said they're not going to vote for this thing.

486
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 9: McConnell, will Mkowsky won't. But you need sixty to get

487
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 9: it to the Senate. Floyd, they're not going to get

488
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 9: that soon knows it. He'll put it up for a

489
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 9: vote next week. But this hurts the Democratic Party big time.

490
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 9: Go seventy nine. The American public and that close. A

491
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 9: lot of Democrats obviously want voter ID and all the

492
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 9: socialist countries in Europe have it, and there's no reason

493
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 9: not to have it. So the Republicans are going, yeah,

494
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 9: we know we're not going to get it through the

495
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 9: Senate's already passed the houses, you guys know, but you know,

496
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 9: the damage that the Republican that the Democrats are going

497
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 9: to do to themselves may be worth it. And that's

498
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 9: the way our system is. So you need sixty votes

499
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 9: to get it to a vote on the floor in

500
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 9: the Senate. Now there's an effort to knock out the filibusterer.

501
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 9: I don't think that's wise, but that could happen. And

502
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 9: the American people understand that in order to diminish voter fraud,

503
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 9: you've got to prove that you're an American citizen, which

504
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 9: is the federal law.

505
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: Do you But do you believe these reports that McConnell

506
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: is stalling it that you know, you say he'll vote

507
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: for it, but.

508
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 9: Now he's barely cognizant, the guy who's just limbit to

509
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 9: the finish Yeah, I mean, he doesn't you know, I

510
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 9: have any.

511
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 8: Presents at all? Don't.

512
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 9: Murkowski is not really a Republican, okay, and she hates

513
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 9: Trump so much that anything Trump supports, he she'll oppose.

514
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 9: I don't expect any of the defections, even crazy Ram Paul.

515
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 9: I mean, you just can't. But the Democrats, I mean,

516
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 9: that's a bad hell for them to stand on.

517
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 3: Bill O'Reilly, check it out. We'll do it live. We

518
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: appreciate the time and good luck.

519
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: On the new show.

520
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 8: Always fun talking to you guys. Thanks for having me.

521
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 3: That's great work, and he's going to do it live,

522
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: Bill O'Reilly. Look, few organizations do more to create a

523
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: bridge between the Christian and Jewish populations than the International

524
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: Fellowship of Christians and Jews. The IFCJ has been doing

525
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 3: this for a long time, firmly established in communities throughout

526
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: Israel and Ukraine, just to name two countries where help

527
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: is needed most right now. This is a humanitarian organization.

528
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 3: When I was in Israel, we helped to put together

529
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 3: food bank deliveries. We saw the bomb shelters that they built.

530
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 3: We even saw the hospital that they had built that

531
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: could be flipped so that everything was underground in the

532
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 3: event of danger. They need your help right now as

533
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: people more and more are under siege in the Holy Land.

534
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 3: Right now, you can give forty five dollars to rush

535
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: life saving essentials to the vulnerable there in Israel underfire.

536

Speaker 1: Call eight eight eight four eight eight.

Speaker 2: Third hour of Play and Book gets going right now

545
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: we're joined by Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri. Now, Senator,

546
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: thanks for stopping by.

547
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 5: Good to be with you.

548
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Save Acts.

549
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 8: Sir.

550
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 2: We have so many people who are paying close attention

551
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: to this, a lot of listeners all across America who

552
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:27,959
Speaker 2: are saying, this seems like a must, This seems so straightforward,

553
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: so necessary as a law, and of course Democrats oppose it.

554
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: Is there any realistic path forward for this? What is

555
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: the best outcome as you see it, for the Save

556
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 2: Act that's realistic? What do you want to happen?

557
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 10: Well, we need to get on it, and the hope

558
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 10: is that next week we will actually be on the

559
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 10: Senate floor with the Save Act. I think that'd be

560
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 10: and by the way, spend some time on it. And

561
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 10: I'm the supporter of this talking filibuster idea. I think

562
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 10: that's what people think happens in Washington and the United

563
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 10: States Senate. They think of Jimmy Stewart holding the floor

564
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 10: and the Senate the old line is that operates by

565
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 10: unanimous consent or exhaustion, And I think the Democrats should

566
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 10: have to own this and earn it if they want

567
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 10: to block the idea that you have to be a

568
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 10: US citizen to vote, you have to show an idea

569
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 10: to vote that we're not going to allow mass mailing

570
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 10: balloting scams, we're not going to allow transgender surgery for miners,

571
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 10: and we should allow boys and women's sports men and

572
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 10: women's sports. That's what this will do. And those are

573
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 10: common sense proposals. They're eighty twenty issues. They might be

574
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 10: higher than that. And I think it's really important, most

575
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 10: importantly for protecting the election security and regain the trust

576
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 10: of the American people.

577
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 5: So my hope is that we're on it, we stay

578
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 5: on it.

579
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 3: So if we go to the talking filibuster, there have

580
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 3: been all sorts of different reports that I have read

581
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 3: about what that actually looks like, what that means, what

582
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: do you anticipate a talking filibuster would look like, and

583
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 3: how does it end?

584
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: How does it progress?

585
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 10: So you got to get on the and if we

586
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 10: take the House bill, and forgive me if I get

587
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 10: in the weeds.

588
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 5: But since you asked the question.

589
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 10: So the House bill, it only requires fifty one votes

590
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 10: to get on it, right, So we can take the

591
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 10: House Bill that's been passed and then it is before

592
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 10: the Senate, and then at that point amendments are in order.

593
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 10: You know, I'm working closely with the White House on this,

594
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 10: and or Lee amendments would be in order. So that

595
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 10: version that came over has two provisions. It doesn't have

596
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 10: the mail in piece, it doesn't have the transgender piece,

597
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 10: it doesn't have the men and women's sports piece. So

598
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 10: we would be able to amend it. And then at

599
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 10: that point, and that's a majority vote. When you're on amendments,

600
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 10: then at that point we need to get to a

601
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 10: final vote. And the one way you can get to

602
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 10: the final vote is that you just run out of

603
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 10: Democrats that want to hold the floor for hours and hours. Now,

604
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 10: the commitment from the Republican side is that we need

605
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 10: to make sure we hold a quorum for the whole

606
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 10: time that this happens. Meaning if a Democrat says, hey,

607
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 10: I knowe the absence of a quorum, meaning there's not

608
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 10: enough people in the chamber, there have to be fifty

609
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 10: one Republicans that are there to maintain the quorum.

610
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 5: So this is something that used to happen.

611
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 10: I think the Senate's got kind of lazy with the

612
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 10: way we do it now, where you just come in

613
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 10: and you clock in a vote and it takes to

614
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 10: gets you to sixty. So this is about holding the

615
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 10: floor voting on amendments for a period of time.

616
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 5: That's how it would play out.

617
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 2: Now, speaking of the floor, I believe you've been on

618
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: the Senate floor asking for unanimous consent to defund to

619
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: fund rather the Department of Homeland Security for the next

620
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: two weeks. Where does that stand. I assume Democrats are

621
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 2: either have blocked it or are going to block it.

622
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, they blocked it.

623
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 10: So basically the Democrats are blocking funding for homeland Security,

624
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 10: you know. So the irony here is they let fifteen

625
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 10: million people in this country, some of them are terrorists,

626
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 10: many are murderers and even more violent criminals. But they're

627
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 10: defunding Homeland Security. That's what their position is. So they're

628
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 10: blocking our efforts to fund it because they're having a

629
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 10: temper tantrum about ICE. What it's really about, guys, is

630
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 10: they don't actually think we should enforce our immigration laws.

631
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 10: They don't like the result in twenty twenty four. They

632
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 10: don't care that American mothers and daughters are being raped

633
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 10: and murdered by illegal immigrants, and ices a job to do.

634
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 10: We've set out what their job is in our laws

635
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 10: that have been repassed, passed by Republicans and Democrats, and

636
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 10: enforced by the way by Republicans and Democrats and previous administrations.

637
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 10: But what we saw with Joe Biden was unprecedent. He

638
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 10: threw open the border. Millions of people are here. President

639
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 10: Trump ran on deporting those folks.

640
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 5: And here we're we're at.

641
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 10: They don't like the results, so they just wanted to

642
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 10: fund ICE. That's what this comes down to. So in

643
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 10: the crosshairs that in the mix there in that dh

644
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 10: Fundy Bill is TSA, the Coast Guard, all these agencies

645
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 10: that outside of ICE, and the Democrats are blocking funding

646
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 10: because of Trump arrangement syndrome.

647
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 3: Okay, let's you're breaking down everything going on in that context.

648
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 3: We're hearing about hours and hours that everybody's having to

649
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 3: stand in line, and at some point, especially with it

650
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 3: being spring break week, people just look around in their

651
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 3: a You may not be paying attention to what's funded

652
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: and what's not. We've got an alleged shooting that you

653
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 3: may or may not have seen that took place in

654
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 3: West Bloomfield, Michigan. Reports are that the shooter is believed

655
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 3: to be dead. We know what happened in Austin, Texas,

656
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 3: where unfortunately a couple of people were murdered by what

657
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 3: appears to have been a deranged lunatic. And we know

658
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 3: in New York City there were just a couple of

659
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 3: IEDs thrown that fortunately did not go off, but could

660
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 3: have killed many people. Isn't it absolutely beyond the pale

661
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 3: absurd that we would be in a situation where I

662
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 3: think the number right now is three hundred some odd

663
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: TSA agents have just said, hey, I've got to quit,

664
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 3: I've got to find a new job, or I've got

665
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 3: to make money right now, that Democrats would be refusing

666
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: to fund these individuals.

667
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 10: It's crazy. I mean, it's so stupid. Clay, I don't.

668
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 10: I mean, I've seen a lot of stuff in politics.

669
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 10: I've seen a lot of argument. It's just so dumb.

670
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 10: But they're obsessed there. First of all, they hate President Trump,

671
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 10: and that may manifest itself in many different ways. But

672
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 10: they thought they had some moment I think in Minneapolis,

673
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 10: that they were going to be able to ultimately prevent

674
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 10: law enforcement from doing their jobs by overloading them with

675
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 10: burdens that they can't. You know, we can talk about

676
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 10: what those are, but basically it would render ICE unable

677
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 10: to deport people. That's what they want, and so they

678
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 10: are willing to hold all of this hostage. And now

679
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 10: the legacy media will go along with it and they'll

680
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 10: create some issue about some negotiation on this. But it's

681
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 10: very simple. Republicans just voted, just now, voted to fund TSA,

682
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 10: to fund ICE, to fund Secret Service, to fund the

683
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 10: Coast Guard, and the Democrats have voted No, it's not

684
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 10: that complicated. It's stupid, but it's not complicated.

685
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 2: Senator Schmidt with US now and Senator I think that

686
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 2: this war in Iran or whatever, we haven't really come

687
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 2: up with something other than a word to call it.

688
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: I guess this overseas aerial campaign against the Iranian military

689
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: definitely acts of war going on. The President seems very

690
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: confident that this is both achieving its objectives and will

691
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: be limited in scope, and he is in charge of

692
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: that scope. What's your sense as to how this is

693
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: going so far and what's your confidence level that this

694
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: will be wrapped up, say, by the end of the month.

695
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think the President's committed to accomplishing

696
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 10: the objectives as he laid out, and essentially, in a nutshell,

697
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 10: the nuclear program that we had a devastating blow to

698
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 10: with the B two's out of Missouri. By the way,

699
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 10: last summer, AROM was basically creating this missile shield, this

700
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 10: conventional ballistic missile shield to protect it for their future ambitions,

701
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 10: and that's being wiped out now. So that's really the mission.

702
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 10: We had a briefing earlier this week. They're ahead of

703
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 10: schedule on that, and I think the President's committed to

704
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 10: doing this. He understands the concerns that people would have

705
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 10: about having another forever war in the Middle East. I

706
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 10: don't think he wants that, but he's committed to this mission.

707
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 10: I think they're accomplishing that right now.

708
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: Much less.

709
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 3: Seriously, I saw you Friday at the President's College Sports Roundtable,

710
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 3: and I know you have entered introduced a bill alongside

711
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: of a Democrat colleague that would help to rectify the

712
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 3: mess that is college athletics.

713
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,879
Speaker 1: What would it do? Are you optimistic that it can

714
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: be a solution it?

715
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 10: Look, it's the first five partisan bill that's been introduced

716
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 10: on this on this measure, and I think that's a

717
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 10: significant development to set the stage. College athletics right now

718
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 10: is very chaotic in college football by and large, for

719
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 10: years has essentially been the cash cow that funds all

720
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 10: the non revenue sports, women's sports, Olympic sports, even sports

721
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 10: like baseball that don't really generate revenue save a couple

722
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 10: of schools here or there. Because of the new system

723
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 10: that we have right now, you know, it's just a

724
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 10: matter of time, and I think that time's.

725
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 5: Pretty soon where you're just going to start.

726
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 10: Seeing all that programming dropped and all those scholarships drop

727
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 10: for people who you know, can change their lives.

728
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 5: So what's the solution?

729
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 10: I was skeptical Clambuck about Congress if you had ask

730
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 10: me this two years ago, I'd been why is Congress

731
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 10: considering anything here? But the truth is Congress is the

732
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 10: only entity on the planet that can grant anti trust

733
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 10: exemption to some governing body to set some rules, transfer rules,

734
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 10: eligibility rules, agent rules, things that they can't do right

735
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 10: now because of lawsuits have basically rendered the ncaa fecklist.

736
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 5: They can't do anything.

737
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 10: So we can do that, but I don't think you

738
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 10: solve the governance problem or the challenges in college sports

739
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 10: without revenue that basically pay for these sports, right these

740
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 10: non revenue women's sports, the Olympic sports that we all love.

741
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 10: And so our proposals Senator Camptell and I from Washington

742
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 10: are that looked. The NFL, the NBA, MLB, they all

743
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 10: have anti trust exemption to collectively negotiate to pool their

744
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 10: media rights. Okay, and to just give you a statistic,

745
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 10: the NBA has half the audience of college football, but

746
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 10: twice the revenue. The NBA generates about eight billion. College

747
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 10: football is about four billion, but they have twice the

748
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 10: eyeballs every week. And so you know the SEC and

749
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 10: Big ten are big players in that. But what we

750
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 10: could do is our bill says, look you can pull

751
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 10: your media rights respect the conferences. They're going to bring

752
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 10: in the lion's share of the revenue. But that bargaining

753
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 10: will be great for fans because think about it. With

754
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,720
Speaker 10: the NFL, you can there's different channels. There's a Sunday

755
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 10: night game, there's a Monday night game, there's a Thursday

756
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 10: night game. College football. The interest is growing, and you

757
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 10: can actually have a system here where Fox and ESPN

758
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 10: album are bidding bidding, bidding, bidding up those dollars that

759
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 10: can protect those sports and it'll be great for the fans.

760
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: How optimistic are you that this thing is going to pass?

761
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 10: I think this component is key. I don't think you

762
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 10: can just do the governance piece and get to sixty

763
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 10: votes in the Senate, right. I think there has to

764
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,720
Speaker 10: be a carrot here where everybody feels like they're growing.

765
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 10: So if you're if you're a school that's been kind

766
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 10: of left behind on some of this stuff, on the

767
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 10: revenue that's been generated for the you know, the conferences

768
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 10: they're doing exceedingly well.

769
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 5: There's a reason for them to do it. I think.

770
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 5: And look, I'm a Mazoo guy. I love Miszoo.

771
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 10: They're in the SEC I love SEC football. I think

772
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 10: they're going to do well in this model too, So

773
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 10: I'm optimistic that the next phase the House is probably

774
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 10: going to play vote on something next week, just the

775
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 10: Score Act, which is just the governance piece. I think

776
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 10: the thing at the White House last week added momentum.

777
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 10: I think we're going to be hopefully. The next step

778
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,280
Speaker 10: in the Senate is a hearing in the Commerce Committee,

779
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 10: where I serve on, and this will be heard out,

780
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 10: and I think that's where the work will be done

781
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 10: to try to find a compromise to literally save college sports.

782
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 10: If we don't get this done this year or maybe

783
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 10: next year, but I think this year is very important.

784
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 10: I think the landscape looks different forever, and if we

785
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 10: fix it, I should say, we give them the tools

786
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 10: to fix it. I think it changes thing for the

787
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 10: next fifty years, will be great for fans.

788
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: Good stuff as always, Senator Eric Schmidt of Missouri. We

789

Speaker 3: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

822
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: I want to update you guys on the latest.

823
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 3: This is from Foxnews and I just sent it and

824
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 3: let me make sure that I read this correctly. Authority

825
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 3: say the shooter involved in the attack at Temple Israel

826
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 3: that's outside of Detroit, Michigan, found badly burned after crashing

827
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 3: a village into the crashing a vehicle into the building,

828
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 3: which then caught fire arms security engaged in a shootout

829
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 3: and fatally shot the would be attacker. Also CNN reporting,

830
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 3: and this may be why he was badly burned. That

831
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 3: the vehicle was filled with explosives.

832
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: So that would explain a lot here because you would

833
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 2: have somebody who tried to create a vbied a vehicle

834
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: born improvised explosive device, essentially a car suicide bomber, and

835
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,280
Speaker 2: the bomb didn't go off. Making bombs is fortunately harder

836
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 2: than a lot of people think it is, especially if

837
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 2: you've never done it before. Near miss, it seems to

838
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 2: Clay looks like no casualties, no good guy, no good goal,

839
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,840
Speaker 2: casualties in the synagogue, only this guy taken out right.

840
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: That's right?

841
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 3: And again this now suggests Austin, New York City, Detroit, Virginia,

842
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 3: all with the same motive that is a violent terror attack.

843
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 3: We bring in now Senator John Cornyn of Texas.

844
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: He is with us.

845
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 3: We got a bunch to get into with the Senator,

846
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 3: We appreciate the time. Let's start with this primary runoff

847
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 3: against Ken Paxton in late May. Pro President Trump has

848
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 3: said that he is going to endorse, but has held

849
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 3: off on endorsing. Do you expect him to endorse you?

850
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 3: What impact do you think the President's endorsement in Texas

851
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 3: would have?

852
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 11: Well, I've told the President that I thought his endorsement

853
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 11: would be very impactful and I would be delighted if

854
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 11: he chooses to endorse endorse me in the race. So far,

855
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 11: he's not done that, and you know, people ask me, well,

856
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 11: what's he going to do? And my usual response is

857
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 11: there's only one person on the planet who knows the

858
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 11: answer to that, and it's not me. So we're not

859
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 11: We're continuing to work hard toward that May twenty six runoff,

860
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 11: and if the President decides to make an endorsement, that

861
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 11: would be that'd be great news.

862
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 2: Senator Corny, appreciate you being with us. My understanding is,

863
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 2: and feel free to correct any part of this because

864
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: there's a lot of senators and I can't know everything

865
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: that all of you have ever thought or said. My

866
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 2: understanding is that you've long been in the past a

867
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 2: defender of the Senate filibuster rule, so a sixty vote

868
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 2: threshold for most legislation, but that you just recently published

869
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 2: why the Save Act matters more than the filibuster?

870
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: Am I right? Is that where you are now? Is

871
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: that really?

872
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 2: Is that a major departure, a major change, and you're

873
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: feeling about the filibuster and what brought you to this

874
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 2: Because you're going to have some critics who say, well,

875
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 2: this is just because you're up for reelection and you

876
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: want to seem like you're going to give the base

877
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 2: what it wants.

878
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 11: Well, the filibuster has stopped a lot of really bad legislation.

879
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 11: When the Democrats were in charge, they've proposed packing the

880
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 11: Supreme Court, making Puerto Rico in the district of Columbia

881
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 11: States and getting two Democratic senators each and permanently changing

882
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 11: the country. So the filibuster has worked well stop bad stuff.

883
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 11: But we're in much different times now, and with the

884
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 11: Trump derangement syndrome and the polarization up here in Congress,

885
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 11: Democrats just reflexibly oppose everything that Trump has proposed or

886
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 11: that Republicans want, including paying the Transportation Security Agency agents

887
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 11: and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. They didn't do anything wrong,

888
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 11: but they're the people being punished now by this second

889
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 11: shutdown of a significant part of the federal government. So

890
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 11: I would I long for the day when you would

891
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 11: have these two political parties who were obviously have different

892
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 11: priorities and different ideas about how to govern, but where

893
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 11: there is still the possibility of finding some common ground

894
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 11: and working to build consensus. I think that's good for

895
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 11: the country when we can do that, because any short

896
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 11: term measures that one party or the other passed can

897
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 11: changed the next time the Congress slips. So I would

898
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 11: call this a really kind of an evolution of my

899
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 11: views that fit the times. I don't think it's okay

900
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 11: for us to just tell my constituents in Texas we

901
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 11: can't get anything done because the Democrats won't cooperate. And

902
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 11: we know, as the President has pointed out, that when

903
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 11: the shoe is on the other foot, when they're in

904
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 11: the majority, they will blow up the philibuster immediately. So

905
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 11: I said, I'm open to the talking philibuster, which we

906
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 11: hope to use on the Save America Act and potentially

907
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 11: other reforms as well.

908
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 3: We're talking to Senator John Cornyn of Texas. He's gonna

909
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 3: runoff against Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, on May

910
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 3: twenty six. We know that one of you will be

911
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 3: running against James Talerico, who frankly seems like a very

912
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 3: far left wing and radical nominee for the Democrats. Do

913
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 3: you believe that you would beat taller Ico worse than

914
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 3: Ken Paxton would and is that one reason why you

915
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 3: would argue people should vote for you in this upcoming runoff.

916
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,959
Speaker 11: Yes, that's exactly right. I will be at the top

917
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 11: of the ticket as the nominee. And in twenty twenty

918
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 11: last time I ran, I won by ten points, which

919
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 11: means that not only will we keep the Senate seat

920
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 11: in Republican hands, but it will help down ballot races,

921
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 11: including these five new congressional seats that were drawn as

922
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 11: a result of redistricting to hopefully help keep the majority

923
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,840
Speaker 11: in the House. The Attorney General has so much political

924
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 11: baggage that I think it's an open question whether he

925
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 11: could actually even win. So this thus the prospect or

926
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 11: the possibility of actually losing a red state Senate seat

927
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 11: in this election. And even if we were to win

928
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 11: by the skin of his teeth, I would think he

929
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,959
Speaker 11: will not win by a margin that will help down

930
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 11: ballot and it'll cost hundreds of millions of dollars to

931
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 11: try to salvage him and salvage this red seat. So

932
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 11: that is part of the argument that we've been making,

933
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 11: and I know the President and his team are fully

934
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 11: aware of.

935
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 3: Okay, So let's say that you weren't the nominee. Let's

936
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 3: say Ken Paxton one or vice versa. Would you campaign

937
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 3: heartily for whoever the Republican nominee is, and do you

938
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 3: expect that he would campaign for you in order to

939
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 3: make sure that this seat, as you just laid out,

940
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 3: doesn't end up in Democrat hands or doesn't even end

941
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 3: up hopefully competitive, so that there's not having to be

942
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 3: a ton of money spent on it. In other words,

943
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 3: you win, that's great, You're going to be working hard.

944
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 3: Do you expect his endorsement if you lose? Will you

945
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 3: endorse him?

946
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 11: Well, first of all, I expect to win. But to

947
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 11: answer your question, I've worked most of my adult life

948
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 11: trying to build the Republican park, both at the state

949
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 11: level and at the national level. My first state wide

950
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 11: election was in nineteen ninety when we still were basically

951
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 11: a divided state. We had a Democratic governor that year,

952
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 11: Anne Richards, for example. But to answer your question, I

953
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 11: would support the Republican ticket. I think that's the best

954
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 11: answer I can give you.

955
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: Speaking of Senator Cornyn of Texas and a senator, why

956
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 2: would you be better? I mean a lot of times

957
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 2: it comes down for some people trying something new. You've

958
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: obviously been in the Senate for quite some time. Why

959
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,480
Speaker 2: would it be better to have you representing Texas than

960
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: attorney Attorney General Paxton? And how would you address any

961
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 2: critics that you have who say that you're not as

962
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 2: maga when it counts as you'd like to appear at

963
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: election time. Because we get a lot of emails, a

964
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 2: lot of callers, and this is something that we hear.

965
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 2: Wanted to give you an opportunity to just lay it

966
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 2: out there for everybody.

967
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 11: Well, thank you. I think a lot of this has

968
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 11: to do with personalities and temperament. I spent thirteen years

969
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 11: of my life as a judge and then as Attorney

970
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 11: general before I got to the Senate, and I always

971
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 11: like to tell people I'm a conservative. I'm just not

972
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 11: mad about it. But the point is, what the what

973
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,800
Speaker 11: what you've done? And that's one reason why in Texas

974
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,240
Speaker 11: and our advertising we pointed out that I have voted

975
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 11: with the president ninety nine point three percent of the time.

976
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 11: Was that's a better number than Ted Cruz, the junior

977
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 11: centator from Texas, by the way, And secondly, you know,

978
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 11: we need somebody who can be effective for the state.

979
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 11: So when the governor called me and said, look, Texas

980
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,400
Speaker 11: taxpayers have had to step up and pay eleven billion

981
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 11: dollars to help secure the border. When Biden wouldn't, he

982
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 11: called me and we worked with the Texas delegation to

983
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,280
Speaker 11: get that done, and so we are expecting a nice

984
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 11: check from the federal government to the Texas taxpayer of

985
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 11: eleven billion dollars. It takes some experience and relationships to

986
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,319
Speaker 11: be able to get that done, and I think I

987
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 11: think my effectiveness on behalf of thirty two million Texas

988
00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 11: is something that separates me from the Attorney general.

989
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 3: We're talking to John Cornyn, Senator from Texas runoff May

990
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:29,479
Speaker 3: twenty six.

991
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: When you looked.

992
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 3: At the results, you won the primary in the first

993
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 3: goal around, you had the most votes.

994
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 1: Were you surprised by that? Did you expect it? What

995
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: did that?

996
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 3: What does that outcome tell people about Texas?

997
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:51,520
Speaker 11: Well, I would there's nothing guaranteed, but I was optimistic

998
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 11: that I would win, and that was you know, there

999
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 11: have been a lot of trash what I call trash talk,

1000
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 11: including the Attorney General who said he could win without

1001
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 11: a runoff, and obviously that didn't materialized. So you know,

1002
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 11: we've been only about eleven percent of registered voters voted

1003
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 11: in the Republican primary. Thankfully, people who didn't vote in

1004
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 11: the primary can vote in the run off. But you know,

1005
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 11: a lot of this has to do with motivating your

1006
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 11: voters and getting them to the polls. In the end,

1007
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 11: winning elections isn't all that complicated. It's about who gets

1008
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 11: the most votes. And we simply worked hard to try

1009
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 11: to encourage as many people as we can to vote

1010
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 11: in the Republican primary. Even so, the Democrats out voted us,

1011
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 11: which should be a warning shot across our bout.

1012
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: Senator.

1013
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 2: You know, we got a lot of emails because we

1014
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 2: asked for questions, and you know, for example, I'll just

1015
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 2: let you address this. We have one VIP who wrote

1016
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 2: in and said, I believe Senator Kornyan voted against Pete

1017
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 2: hegg Sath for DoD secretary now Secretary of War. You

1018
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 2: voted yes for Pete hag Sath, if memory serve, am

1019
00:54:58,600 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 2: I correct on that?

1020
00:54:59,239 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: Correct?

1021
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 5: Correct?

1022
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's interesting.

1023
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 2: There are some of the questions we get are actually

1024
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 2: not fair to just to call the balls and strikes

1025
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 2: your center, the not fair to your record. People seem

1026
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 2: to think for some reason that you have voted not

1027
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the time with Trump.

1028
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1029
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,840
Speaker 11: Well, the president knows what my record is, and he

1030
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,759
Speaker 11: calls me a friend. And there was some indication that

1031
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 11: he was prepared to endorse me after leading in the

1032
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,360
Speaker 11: primary on March third. Obviously, as we said, the timing

1033
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 11: of that and if it happens is entirely up to him.

1034
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 11: But I think the President views me as an ally

1035
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 11: and somebody who supported him, and I think he appreciates that.

1036
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 11: You know, I was there on the front lines during

1037
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 11: the confirmation of three new Supreme Court justices. When we

1038
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,760
Speaker 11: passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in twenty seventeen.

1039
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 11: I was the whip who helped get the get that

1040
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 11: across the finish line. So a lot of the campaign

1041
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 11: is about reminding people about what my record is and

1042
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,880
Speaker 11: frankly disabusing people of some of the falsehoods that are

1043
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 11: out there. So I appreciate you giving me an opportunity

1044
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 11: to address that.

1045
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 2: Senator Corny, thank you for coming on the show and

1046
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 2: taking our questions. And godspeed to you and we'll talk

1047
00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 2: to you soon.

1048
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 11: Thank you very much, appreciate it.

1049
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 2: Iran has launched multiple ballistic missiles at Israel, carrying cluster

1050
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 2: bomb warheads, which spread dozens of small bombs over wide

1051
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 2: areas of the country. When that happens, there's destruction and death,

1052
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 2: which happened on Tuesday. These are heinous weapons and one

1053
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,799
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty countries have banned them. This is what

1054
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 2: life is like in Israel right now. The International Fellowship

1055
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 2: of Christians and Jews has been working there for many years,

1056
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 2: but this month is a challenge dealing with these cluster bombs.

1057
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 2: The entire IFCJ team is supplying bomb shelters and medical

1058
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 2: centers with critically needed essentials. IFCJ is also working to

1059
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 2: bring food, emergency supplies, and care for children and the elderly.

1060

Speaker 2: Make a stand for Israel and the future of civilization

1061
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 2: and support the IFCJ today. Give forty five dollars right
