1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Play Travis with the Clay and Buck Show, wishing you

00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: Buck Sexton, Here, the entire Clay and Buck Show wish

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: joyful new year. All right, welcome back in here to

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: Clay and Buck. So we've got much to discuss, my friends,

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: including what's going on on Capitol Hill here with the

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: Venezuela boat strikes. Now, we're gonna have more for you

10
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: shortly on the FBI arrest situation of the pipe bomber.

11
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: We're following that story as closely as we can. Everyone's

12
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: essentially and wait and c mode until this FBI press conference.

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: This is going to be the next hour.

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: We also have Secretary of Transportation Duffy on and we're

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: looking forward to that conversation.

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: So we got a lot.

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: And I think we have Steve Scalise next hour, House

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: Majority Leader Scalise, so we got we got a lot

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: going on. We can talk to him about the pipe

20
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: bomber for sure. As well as you remember Steve Scalise,

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: somebody who knows left wing political violence all too well,

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 2: as he had to fight for his life after he

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: was shot by a maniac at a baseball field in Alexandria,

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: Virginia who was screaming this is for healthcare, right, and

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: we all remember that this is for healthcare and he's

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: shooting at people who were defenseless.

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: After also, Buck remember asking are those republic public art

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: Democrats like because they were just playing baseball, you didn't

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: know who you know, they were warming up on a field.

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: It wasn't like you could really tell who they were. Yes, exactly.

31
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: So that's where we are on that story.

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: We're waiting to hear more from the FBI, but we'll

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: speak to Steve Scalise about that. In the meantime, you

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: know that this has become now the primary attack on

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: the administration. This is all the different anti Trump news outlets.

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: They're the main thing that they are covering right now.

37
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: Is this in fact it even overshadowed? You know, there

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: were some Epstein stuff that was released. Nothing is some photos.

39
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: Do you see this?

40
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: Nobody even really paid very much attention to it in

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: the media. It wasn't anything of particular interest, be honest,

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: from what I saw. There's a lot more I think

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: that's coming out, But this is the story, right now.

44
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: So here is what is at issue, as we have discussed.

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: I believe in Clay has believed all along here based

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: upon the facts is presented to us that Secretary Hegseth

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: and those below him in the chain of command acted lawfully.

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: Okay.

49
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: But there is also an understanding here that there is

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: a situation in which it is possible that you can

51
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: be in a situation where you cannot just like finish

52
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 2: off the survivors of a strike. That is also a thing.

53
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: I think both sides have agreed on that, and I

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: think that's important because I see some people say, if

55
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: they were, you know, cleaning the wreckage and they were

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: knocked out unconscious, we could just mow them down. No,

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: But if they were still in the fight, meaning if

58
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: they were still actively communicating with the drug cartels and

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: trying to salvage the drugs and trying to basically continue

60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: the mission, it is what it is. And then you

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 2: continue on. Here's ABC's Martha Radditz on this play as

62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: she's obviously a Trump hater, but you know, this is

63
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 2: what she said.

64
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Play three tonight. New information.

65
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 3: According to a source familiar with the incident, the two

66
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: survivors climbed back onto the boat after the initial strike,

67
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: they were believed to be potentially in communication with others

68
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: and salvaging some of the drugs. Because of that, it

69
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: was determined they were still in the fight and valid targets,

70
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: and JAG officer was also giving legal advice. So again, David,

71
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: that video will be key and Admiral Bradley will be

72
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 3: on the hill tomorrow behind closed doors.

73
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: So they have released the video and if as has

74
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: been re ordered there that is true, this story's gonna vanish.

75
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: So we'll see. You know, there may be some dispute

76
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: about what in the fight still looked like and again

77
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: how high quality is the video version of this, but

78
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: this would seem to be a pretty clear validation of

79
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: the decision that was made, as well as legal having

80
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: been there and signed off as you know, watching the

81
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: incident saying yes there's still enemy combatants, Yes you can

82
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: take this action. That seems to me to be kind

83
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: of an open and shut case. So we will see

84
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: whether this starts to vanish. What I would say is

85
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: in the new studio that I have here Buck, the

86
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: ability to drive narrative on CNN or MSNBC, you can

87
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: kind of judge whether they think they got something. They're

88
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: already pulling back on their coverage of this strike now

89
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: that the videos out there, now that more details are

90
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: being released, it feels to me like the Washington Post

91
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: story over promised, the video has under delivered what they

92
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: said it would, and we're on to whatever the next

93
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: controversy is inside of the Trump administration.

94
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: I think you said this earlier in the week, and

95
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: I believe it was astute observation that this is turning

96
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: into a little bit of a Kilmar Abrego Garcia situation

97
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: for them, where the Democrats, to people who are paying attention,

98
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: the Democrats are going to the mat in order to

99
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: take the side on these issues. I know they would

100
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: say of like the Geneva Conventions and human rights. But

101
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: if a drug car tells yes, which are killing Last year,

102
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: I think it was like eighty ninety thousand, that's right,

103
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: but something approaching one hundred. The worst years have been

104
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: in the low one hundred thousand range. It's far too

105
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: many people. And I also think it's important to remember

106
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: it's not just the people who die. Lives are shattered

107
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: just by the addiction defendant all think about the families

108
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: that are destroyed. Think about the criminality, the criminal enterprises,

109
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: the drug turf wars that happen. We look at that number,

110
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: it's like looking at murders in a city. You know,

111
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: the murders give you a sense, but don't cover the

112
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: whole totality of Oh, this city has far too many

113
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: assaults and rapes and robberies and everything else going on.

114
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: The drug war isn't just about overdoses, although that's the

115
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: most you know, poignant and destructive aspect of it. There's

116
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 2: a whole lot of other secondary effects that are horrible

117
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: and people are tired of it. And my point here, Clay,

118
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: is that once again you have Democrats who are like,

119
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: hold on, we need to make sure it's not so

120
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 2: hard for the cartels to bring the drugs into America.

121
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: That's you're being too harsh with the cartels, And a

122
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: lot of Americans are saying, yeah, I don't know about that.

123
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: Who you pick as your face of any argument is huge.

124
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: And again I said, the you know, the plaintiff, the

125
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: name plainiff in a case is always a huge part.

126
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: For anybody out there that files a lawsuit class action,

127
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: they try to find the most sympathetic plaintiff out there,

128
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: the one that is going to pull at the heart

129
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: strings that is going to make people say, wait a minute,

130
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: are we really doing the right thing here? And we

131
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: told you part of the deportation of illegal immigrants, they

132
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: are going to focus on the mom, the little girl

133
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: that the heart string issues. But then they blew it.

134
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: Then they were like, hey, actually, do you know how

135
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: aggressive this thing is. Kilmar Abreo Garcia a human trafficking

136
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: drug smuggling illegal who his wife had to call the

137
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: police on because he was allegedly beating her up. He's

138
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: being forced out of the country and people are like, yeah, okay,

139
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: and it didn't really land. And now Democrats are going

140
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: to make the face of Trump's combat combating of illegal

141
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: drugs coming into the country. A couple of narco terrorists

142
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: in Venezuela who we were too mean to. There's a

143
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: tough sell, remember or was it Linda who called in? Uh?

144
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 4: That?

145
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: Linda's like were they were?

146
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: They floating around with little floaties like in a pool.

147
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 5: Blow them up, take them out. I don't care. On

148
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 5: the Oh, they're doing a backstroke. I saw a backstroke. Yeah,

149
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 5: another missilenother missile.

150
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: Wax them and everybody. I don't even think anybody came

151
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: like everybody was in Linda's defense. We got loaded. I

152
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: don't think we should go track down some of those talkbacks,

153
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: but it looks like Linda's being vindicated here WAX. I

154
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: gotta say, we did I did not get, I did

155
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,959

Speaker 1: send in a talkback and email or even just talk

158
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: to producer Greg if you want to get online, because

159
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: that all gets Clay and are talking about in the breaks,

160
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: we read it, we see it. I don't think I

161
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: saw anybody who was calling out Linda, like you know

162
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: what to say. Nobody was like, how dare she?

163
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 6: A lot of people are like kind of with Linda.

164
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

165
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 4: No.

166
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: I think it is really very funny in many ways

167
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: that the things that they think are going to rally

168
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: their base actually often rally the Trump base instead. And

169
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: part of it is just not understanding basic narrative. And

170
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: I've talked about this for a long time. If you

171
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: are a student of history, this is obviously what sixty

172
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: seventy years ago now. But they waited on the Montgomery

173
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: bus boycotts until they had the right face of the

174
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Montgomery bus boycotts, which was Rosa Parks. If you go

175
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: back and study that era, they actually arrested a young

176
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: single mother who refused to give up her seat before

177
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Rosa Parks did it, and the civil rights leaders, including

178
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Junior, said no, no, no, no. The single mom

179
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: who is unmarried is not the right face of the

180
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: bus boycott. We want Rosa Parks to be the face

181
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: of this boycott. So she wasn't even the first who

182
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: refused to give up her seat. That turned into the

183
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: beginnings of the civil rights movement in the South. Back

184
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: in Montgomery, Alabama in the day, they looked at it

185
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: and they were waiting for what they thought was the

186
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: most sympathetic plaintiff, the best face of their of their

187
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: argument that they could find. And I just I look

188
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: at some of this stuff and I just say, who

189
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: is making these decisions on messaging for the Democrat Party.

190
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: They're really just poor at even making the cases that

191
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: they're trying to make.

192
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just gotta bring in somebody like Linda is

193
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: gonna say, light them up, light them up.

194
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: That's it. I've had enough of these clowns.

195
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: You know.

196
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: This is also at night.

197
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: We sleep soundly at night because Linda stands on that wall,

198
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: smoking that stogy, saying enough enough.

199
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: Colonel Linda, jessup out there. We talked about this before.

200
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: Who's tougher. Who's tougher in your house in discipline? You

201
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: or your wife?

202
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: Oh it's not it's not even not even close.

203
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: It's the Carrie is way.

204
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 2: And this is also dealing like with anyone who's trying

205
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: to play any funny business with us, like a contractor

206
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: or something comes up. I just kind of want to

207
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 2: always pull them aside and be like, look, you really

208
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: want to deal with me?

209
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: Yeah you don't. You don't want me to bring you,

210
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: don't hear you carry you? I am the softie in

211
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: this house. If you you do not want Laura as

212
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: the on the wall making decisions you don't want to be,

213
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm the hostas negotiator Carrie.

214
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: Carrie is the CT team that goes in with flash bangs,

215
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 2: like it's just a different deal.

216
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: You want to deal with me? If you miss the

217
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: Linda who people love and Linda may be listening right now, Linda,

218
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: we will play what she said as she is now

219
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: being vindicated, but she was fine even you know, like

220
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: like Buck said that these guys could have been uh

221
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: you know with the floating around on noodles with nothing left.

222
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: He's like, just wax them. But we'll have some fun.

Speaker 6: I'm going to be there as well, but.

270
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 7: A billion people tune in for the draw around the

Speaker 7: people that fly into the country to watch the games.

280
00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 6: And again from my.

281
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 7: Perspective, and why is DOT involved, Well, we're one of

282
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 7: the most important aspects. So not only welcoming foreign travelers

283
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 7: into the country, working with Christy Nome and Marco Rubio

284
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 7: to make it a seamless experience, but then they're flying

285
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 7: between host cities, they're taking trains, buses, and then in

286
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 7: the cities, making sure the transit actually works, buses, railcars, tracks.

287
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 7: To make sure that we get all of these spectators

288
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 7: into the facilities and then back out out again, do

289
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 7: it safely, do it seamlessly. This is our opportunity to

290
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 7: showcase America on our great birthday. And so listen, we've

291
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 7: been working for shift nine months on this thing to

292
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 7: make sure that all of our teams are working together

293
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 7: in resources and assets are deployed to make sure it's

294
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 7: a great experience for what is going to be a

295
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 7: global event.

296
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: What kind of money, Secretary Duffy, does this bring into

297
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: the country. What are some of the estimates about the

298
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: economic activity and just all of that side of things.

299
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 7: I don't have those numbers, but listen, this is billions

300
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 7: of dollars that come in. You fill up, you fill

301
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 7: up hotels, you fill up planes, restaurants, and then you.

302
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 6: Know there's there's time between you know, each of the matches.

303
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 7: So there's an opportunity for foreigners who might might might

304
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 7: become to America for the first time to go out

305
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 7: and see our beautiful country.

306
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 6: A lot of places to to.

307
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 7: Go, check out and to where as you're you know,

308
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 7: waiting for the next match. So again many billions of dollars.

309
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 7: This is going to impact the country. And so it's

310
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 7: that that part of it's huge. By the way, can

311
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 7: I take you mean Donald Trump loves sports right whether

312
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 7: he's going you know, to basketball, football, but so not

313
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 7: as we have the we have the World Cup going

314
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 7: on during the two hundred and fifteth birthday, he has

315
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 7: a UFC cage match first time at the White House

316
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 7: going on as well. So it's going to be a

317
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 7: lot of fun but a huge economic revenue driver for

318
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 7: the country.

319
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 6: And by the way, so.

320
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 7: You have people coming into to watch soccer, but you know,

321
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 7: who knows how many times they come back to go

322
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 7: this is a great experience in America.

323
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 6: And I think here's the problem.

324
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 7: We have a lot a lot of people are on

325
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 7: the world who have said, am I welcome to come

326
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 7: to America. They've seen that people have overstayed their visas

327
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 7: or they've come here legally and we've tried to deport them.

328
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 7: We've taken those who haven't come, awfully, we've sent them out.

329
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 7: That doesn't mean we don't want people to come. Of course,

330
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 7: we want people to come. We want them to come

331
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 7: the right way and come and visit and come and

332
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 7: see all we have to offer, and then follow our rules.

333
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 7: And there's a timeline in which they get their visas

334
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 7: and you know which will be well after the games

335
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 7: have ended and they can head home. But so now

336
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 7: we want people to come.

337
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: For people who don't know. And I've been doing my

338
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: research on this because I turn into a pretty decent

339
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: soccer fan every four years, because I'm a big sports fan.

340
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: There are one hundred and four games I believe that

341
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: are going to be played. We're talking Department of Transportation

342
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Secretary Sean Duffy. The vast majority of those games going

343
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: to be played in the United States, and there are

344
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: now forty eight teams that are going to that are

345
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: going to be involved in the World Cup. They've expanded

346
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: it from thirty two. Tomorrow we will find out which

347
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: of the twelve groups of for the United States is

348
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: in among other countries. Do you know what President Trump's

349
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: role is going to be tomorrow? It's taking place at

350
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center. This is in many ways a Trump production.

351
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: Fox Sports is going to be putting it on. Like

352
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: you said, I'll be there. There'll be a ton of

353
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: us there. What do you know about the event tomorrow?

354
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 6: So I'll get to that in a second.

355
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 7: But again, there's sixteen host cities, eleven or in the

356
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 7: United States. We are the main the main host, and

357
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 7: so it's going to be a big production. Again, I'm

358
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 7: going as well. I hear it's like red carpet and

359
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 7: everyone's coming in and it's the production value. And by

360
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 7: the way, no one produces events like this better than

361
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 7: Donald Trump. I think he's maybe a master of ceremonies.

362
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 7: I'm going to address the crowd, you know, before the

363
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 7: draws happen. And again he's the most famous person in

364
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 7: the world, and to be there lending his name the

365
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 7: presidency to this great event, I think makes it that

366
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 7: much more exciting interesting. But again, the world tunes in

367
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 7: because they're excited to see you know what group they're

368
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 7: going to be in. You know who they're gonna play.

369
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 7: And do I have an easy bracket, a hard bracket.

370
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 7: You know what are you know? What's uh? What's my

371
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 7: prospects now for my team to prevail in the World Cup?

372
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 7: So again the details, I'm showing up occupying no more

373
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 7: than I mean, I Clay, you know more than I do.

374
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 6: I'm coming, but I don't know.

375
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 7: I'm I'm just I'm bringing my scarf and I'm gonna

376
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 7: be there and I'm gonna enjoy the festivities and uh

377
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 7: and and pick it up like you will.

378
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: Secretary Sean Duffy with us now Secretary of Transportation. And

379
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: I'm sure this is your favorite question, mister secretary. I'm

380
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 2: sure that everywhere you go, when everyone realizes who you

381
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: are and you're asking what's up?

382
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 6: My favorite question is a bad lead up to the.

383
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I trust me.

384
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: So how are we doing with the whole fixing air

385
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: traffic control and making planes go on time?

386
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: Mister secretary?

387
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 2: You know this is something near and dear to everybody

388
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: who flies all over the Country's heard, and I'm sure

389
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: people ask you. I'm sure you get asked at the

390
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving table, you get asked to the airport when you're flying,

391
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 2: what's going on with it?

392
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 6: No?

393
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 7: Better yet, anyone who has my cell number when they're delayed,

394
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 7: I get attacked.

395
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, like, hey, I'm delayed, and how we're delayed?

396
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 7: Like, come on, I'm like this very special text. Thank

397
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 7: you for sending that to me. No, so I appreciate

398
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 7: the question. So I laid out shoot six months ago,

399
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 7: how old and antiquated are our air traffic control system is?

400
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 7: And it is we're using, you know, some iteration of

401
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 7: nineteen sixties, seventies, eighties equipment software from the nineties. And

402
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 7: so I was given twelve and a half billion dollars

403
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 7: in the Big Beautiful Bill.

404
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 6: It's a big deal. It's a lot of money.

405
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 7: I need another twenty billion, But with that twelve and

406
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 7: a half billion dollars, we've already started. So you know,

407
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 7: we have copper, we have to transition to fiber. We've

408
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 7: already completed over thirty percent of those transitions since I

409
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 7: got the money from the Big Beautiful Bill. Now that

410
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 7: doesn't mean because I have fiber, I've switched from analog

411
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 7: to digital. That's another step we're going to announce later today.

412
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 7: We're going to pick an integrator that's going to run

413
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 7: the whole operation. We'll have one paycheck to write one

414
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 7: throat to choke. The mission is don't break the national airspace.

415
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 7: Number one and number two, make sure that you deliver

416
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 7: this on time, which is by the end of twenty

417
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 7: twenty eight, So we have a three year window. New radios,

418
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 7: new radars, new voice switches, and all new telecom. That's

419
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 7: the foundation that we build off of. A we need

420
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 7: a new software system. Once I get the money for that,

421
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 7: I'll be able to start developing, debugging, and then deploying it.

422
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 7: That's what's going to really change the way the airspace works.

423
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 7: And so if you look forward five ten years, we're

424
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 7: going to double triple the capacity of the use of

425
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 7: our airspace. We have drones, we have these evatols, the

426
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 7: ubers in the air. You might have seen videos of those.

427
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 7: More air travel see Is that really n.

428
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: I got to jump in on this because I just

429
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: saw something about the Miami Palm Beach Corridor, so that

430
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: really peaked my entry. Are we going to have air

431
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: taxis on certain routes during this Trump administration's term?

432
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: Is that going to happen?

433
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 6: Percent?

434
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 7: And I think they're safer and quieter and cheaper than

435
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 7: helicopter So yeah, I know that's you're going to move

436
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 7: people more seamlessly through the airspace with with these air taxis.

437
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 6: UH to use that phrase.

438
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 7: And yes, the airspace aviation really hasn't changed in the

439
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 7: last seventy years eighty years.

440
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: This I mean with drone deliveries.

441
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 7: You're gonna be able to get a hot cup of

442
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 7: coffee your door dash a delivery if you've forgot some

443
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 7: of the grocery store or you need medicine. Three and

444
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 7: a half to five pound deliveries going to change the

445
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 7: way products are delivered. The way we move with these

446
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 7: with these air taxes is fairly inexpensive, and they move

447
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 7: seamlessly through the airspace, giving you access from one neighborhood

448
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 7: to to a city location. Or you look at again

449
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 7: this the east coast of Florida. Moving people along that

450
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 7: corridor really I think critical going to change the way

451
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 7: that people can live in that part of the country.

452
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 7: And then we also have autonomous vehicles on the horizon

453
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 7: as well. That's going to change the way people move

454
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 7: as well, how they purchase cars, how our systems are safer,

455
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 7: and our job is to make sure that I call

456
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 7: it my Goldilocks theory.

457
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 6: We can have regulations that go.

458
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 7: Too fast because if bad things happen, we get set back.

459
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 7: If I go too slow, the innovators will go to

460
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 7: places like China, and then China will send us Chinese technology,

461
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 7: and you don't want Chinese technology on an autonomous vehicle,

462
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 7: in your drones or in your vetols. They'll gather a

463
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 7: ton of information. It's a national security play. So we

464
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 7: have to get it just right. The porridge has to

465
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 7: be just right, and that's what we're trying to accomplish now.

466
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 7: But you're going to see these in the next three years.

467
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 7: All you're going to have access to all of these

468
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 7: new opportunities in aviation and in autonomous vehicles. One last

469
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 7: thing boom technology for supersonic flight. It used to be

470
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 7: over just water. Technology now will allow you to fly

471
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 7: over land and that that boom or ricochet off the

472
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 7: atmosphere and not hit the ground, so you can have

473
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 7: those fast flights without having you know, windows break, you

474
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 7: know somewhere in Missouri.

475
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: That's super interesting too, because I've been seeing that they want.

476
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: You know, people remember the Concord and how quickly you

477
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: could go from the East coast to Europe and you know,

478
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: four hours, five hours. Best case. Now, this new boom

479
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: technology that you're talking about, I've been reading about it.

480
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: It would theoretically could become standard in the next generation

481
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: where you could get to Europe, you could fly across

482
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: the Atlantic in four hours, and it could become much

483
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: more standard. One one question for you as as you

484
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: go out and we appreciate the time Department of Transportation

485
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: Secretary Sean Duffy with US air traffic controllers there are

486
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: there have been a huge story surrounding the number of them,

487
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: meritocra see the talents of them. We got a ton

488
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: of people out there listening right now, kids, grandkids. How

489
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: many more air traffic controllers do we need? What should

490
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: people out there who are interested in these jobs and

491
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: believe they have the talent to be doing And how

492
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: do we get to the point where we have a

493
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: depth So if we get guys who were sick or

494
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: gals who are sick, we don't have to worry about

495
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: different airport air traffic areas being shut down, which discombobulates

496
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: obviously travel nationwide.

497
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 7: So give or take them about two thousand short I

498
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 7: have increased the capacity of throughput in the academy where

499
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 7: we train our air traffic controllers by twenty percent this year.

500
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 7: I've asked experienced controllers not to retire. I'm paying them

501
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 7: twenty percent up front cash bonuses to not retire, to

502
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 7: stand the job, to try to close that gap. But

503
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 7: if you're twenty years old, you got two years of

504
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 7: work experience, and you want to be an air traffic controller,

505
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 7: you're smart. You can take our entrance exam. And again

506
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 7: sometimes if you're a painter, if you're a mechanic, there's

507
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 7: no rhyme or reason of what makes a good air

508
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 7: traffic controller, but we test you for it.

509
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 6: You come in.

510
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 7: Our academy is four months, you come out to pay

511
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 7: where your placed. It could take a year to three

512
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 7: years to get certified. But these guys are making they're

513
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 7: making really good money and doing a really important service

514
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 7: to the country. So we're looking for smart young men

515
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 7: and women that want to come into this uh into

516
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 7: this industry.

517
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 6: And and again it pays.

518
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 7: Well and you're you're you're providing the safety of the

519
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 7: of the traveling public. So we have a plan to

520
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 7: close the gap. Technology can help us too. But you

521
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 7: saw what happened during the shutdown, and you know you

522
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 7: had air traffic controllers that weren't being paid and they

523
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 7: were having some hard times putting food on the table.

524
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 7: They were there were you know, driving uber and waiting tables.

525
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 6: I mean, you can't have that.

526
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 7: So so we have to think through hard problems that

527
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 7: the last administration.

528
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 6: Didn't want to take up. They didn't want to consider.

529
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 7: There's no hard problem in this department that we aren't

530
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 7: grappling with trying to fix and whether there's no plan

531
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 7: to fix this when we are fixing this and going

532
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 7: to make it better for the American people.

533
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: Zech Jerry Duffie, look forward to seeing you tomorrow should

534
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,280

Speaker 1: There's lots of great jobs air traffic control that you

537
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: can be searching out for those kids and grandkids. Appreciate

Speaker 1: Welcome back in Play Travis buck Sexton show rolling through

574
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: the Thursday edition of the program. We're back to d

575
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: C to talk to House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. We

576
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: got a bunch of topics to hit with him, but

577
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: let's start with this. We're awaiting the press conference from

578
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: the FBI on the arrest of the pipe bomber in

579
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: January of twenty twenty one. You, as we were talking

580
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: about earlier on the program, Congressman have seen firsthand the

581
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: consequences of political violence, and unfortunately the number of political

582
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: related violence issues seem like they are accelerating. Is that

583
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: the sense that you have.

584
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 7: And.

585
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: How would you assess where we are right now in

586
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: terms of the temperature of the danger and the violence

587
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: that unfortunately it could typifize too much of our conversation,

588
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: it feels like politically today.

589
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, well first play and Buck, thank you for

590
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 8: having me. And you know, it's sad to see that

591
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 8: politics tod has gotten so toxic in terms of you know,

592
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 8: we all have disagreements, and I mean, our country has

593
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 8: always celebrated the fact that we don't all think alike

594
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 8: and we can express those differences in a free and

595
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 8: open society. And you know what, if you and I disagree,

596
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 8: you can vote against me at the ballot every two years.

597
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 8: We settle our differences at the ballot box. And for

598
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,479
Speaker 8: anybody to think that political violence is okay, it's not.

599
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 8: And yes, I've seen it firsthand. You know, we still

600
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 8: see it more and more lately, and it's got to stop.

601
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, Charlie Kurk's assassination, you know, was

602
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 8: just another example, but it's far from an isolated case.

603
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 8: And you know, the pipe bombing, I mean, it's said

604
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 8: that it took this long. I mean, it took years

605
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 8: to figure it out, but I'm glad. I applauded the

606
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 8: FBI for staying on the case and and for finally,

607
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 8: you know, making an arrest because you know, he intended.

608
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 8: Luckily he wasn't successful, but he intended to blow up

609
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 8: a building. I mean, this is insane.

610
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: Congresson's glease, appreciate you being with us here. What are

611
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: some of the key things that you think can get

612
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 2: done before Congress goes into recess. What is your what's

613
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: your focus as we're rounding up here at the end

614
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: of the year in twenty twenty five.

615
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, as we're in the beginning of December,

616
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 8: still a lot more we want to do by the

617
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 8: end of this year. In just the next few weeks,

618
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 8: you know, we're in the middle of putting together a

619
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 8: bill on healthcare that a lower healthcare costs for families.

620
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 8: You know, I was in a meeting this morning with

621
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 8: the Doctor's Caucus. We have a caucus of medical doctors

622
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 8: who serve in Congress who have some great ideas. I've

623
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 8: been meeting with other members over the last few weeks

624
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 8: and we've put together a package of bills and we're

625
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 8: going to ultimately bring this to the floor soon. I

626
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 8: don't even know exactly when. In the next probe two weeks,

627
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 8: we're building consensus, and once we have that consensus, you're

628
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 8: going to see a series of bills this month in

629
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 8: December on the House floor to lower healthcare costs. And

630
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 8: I'm not talking about just shoveling hundreds of billions more

631
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 8: dollars into the Affordable Care Act that has not been

632
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 8: working for families. I mean, since that law passed, you know,

633
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 8: what's known as Obamacare, you've seen an increase in premiums

634
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 8: on families by eighty percent. So clearly the Affordable Care

635
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 8: Act has been anything but affordable. What we want to

636
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 8: do is get families options, you know, allow you to

637
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 8: do things like pooling together association health plans, so that

638
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 8: small businesses can pull together and get the buying power

639
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 8: of a large company, so that those premiums cost a

640
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 8: lot less, things like health savings accounts where you can

641
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 8: even if you're in an ACA plan right now, you're

642
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 8: only trapped in that plan. How about if we let

643
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 8: families have the flexibility to where you can take that

644
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 8: existing money and move it to a plan that's better

645
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 8: for your family. If you find a plan that has

646
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 8: a lower deductible cost, a lower monthly premium. You should

647
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 8: be able to go and buy that plan just like

648
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 8: you got you buy. You know, you look on TV.

649
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 8: You've got all these commercials for car insurance and other

650
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 8: products that are fighting for your dollar because there's competition.

651
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 8: Right now. In health insurance, you don't have competition because

652
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 8: the marketplace is really focused on forcing everybody into the

653
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 8: Unaffordable Care Act. We want to make that more flexible

654
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 8: so families have options to lower their premiums, and we'll

655
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 8: be bringing those bills to the floor in the next

656
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 8: few weeks.

657
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: By the way, press conference has started with the FBI.

658
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: We are monitoring Attorney General Pam Bondi addressing the arrest

659
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: right now.

660
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 8: And by the way, there are other there are a

661
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 8: lot of other bills. I'm sorry to jump in again,

662
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 8: but you did ask a broader question about what are

663
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 8: we doing the rest of this month. That's one important

664
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 8: package we're going to be bringing. We're bringing a number

665
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 8: of other bills. We've got some housing affordability bills that

666
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 8: are going to be going through committee next week and

667
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 8: the Financial Services Committee that come into the House floor

668
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 8: this month. Probably. We've got some other bills that are

669
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 8: focused on lowering costs. In other areas, We've done a

670
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 8: lot on energy production, on taxes so that nobody has

671
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 8: tax increases, but we also help no tax on tips,

672
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 8: no tax on overtime, so a lot of blue collar

673
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 8: workers are going to be able to get really big

674
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 8: benefits in terms of more money in their paychecks. You know.

675
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 8: We're working on other things that will lower inflation, lowering

676
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 8: interest rates, you know. So we're bringing bills on all

677
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 8: of those fronts. In addition to the normal appropriations process,

678
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 8: we're bringing what's called the National Defense Authorization Act, hopefully

679
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 8: next week, the bill that sets all the priorities for

680
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 8: a nation's defense. Very important bill, usually a very bipartisan bill.

681
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 8: Hopefully that's going to be on the floor next week.

682
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 8: So we're doing a lot of different things, all at

683
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 8: the same time, but really important things for families.

684
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: Pambondi. By the way, this cold case languished four years

685
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: until Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino came to the FBI.

686
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 1: No new tips, no new witnesses, just good diligent work.

687
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 6: That is.

688
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: Attorney General Pambondi on the Pipe Bomber arrest. Last question

689
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: for you, Rate I know, Congressman, there was hope that

690
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: there was going to be a score Act passed as

691
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: it had to do with college athletics. That has now

692
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: been shelved as it's continuing to be worked on. You

693
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: are in Louisiana, congrats on Lane Kiffin. For people out

694
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: there and a huge majority of our audience is this

695
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: are college sports fans. What are you guys trying to

696
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: do and what's the latest you can tell us on

697
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:17,720
Speaker 1: that act?

698
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I still want to see us bring this

699
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 8: bill to the floor because it's important to anybody who

700
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 8: loves college athletics, you know, me included, I know you

701
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 8: do in many people, millions around the country have seen

702
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 8: over the last few years it's become the wild wild West.

703
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 8: And why is that. It's because, through a lot of things, lawsuits,

704
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 8: that the NCAA is lost, and other things, there is

705
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 8: no ability for schools to enforce their own rules anymore,

706
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 8: you know. And whether they come together and get behind

707
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 8: the NCAA or some other organization, that's not what Congress

708
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 8: is dictating. What Congress is going to try to do

709
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 8: is say, hey, the schools can actually go and enforce

710
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 8: their own rules again in college at athletics. And oh,

711
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 8: by the way, we also in the score Act put

712
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 8: in protections for student athletes that don't exist today. You know,

713
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 8: whether or not students get paid, that issue has already

714
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 8: been decided, but right now there are no real protections

715
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 8: for the students who are getting paid for example, agents.

716
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 8: You've got kids sixteen seventeen years old in high school

717
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 8: getting approached by agents with contracts that they I'm sure

718
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 8: they're not getting teams of attorneys to read. They might

719
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 8: be signing their rights away for ten years when they

720
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 8: signed some deal in high school. We put guardrails there

721
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 8: so that the students get real protections, so that it

722
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 8: limits how much an agent can even get in fees

723
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 8: from the student athlete. We protect the Olympic sports. The

724
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 8: US Olympic Committee just came out in support of this

725
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 8: bill to Score Act because it does protect Olympic sports

726
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 8: and other you know, women's sports, you know Title nine

727
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 8: sports for example. So won't just be football and basketball

728
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 8: at every college. You're going to be able to have

729
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 8: in a array of men's and women's sports that are

730
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 8: some make money, a lot of them lose money. But

731
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 8: you're going to be able to have those protections in

732
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 8: place at schools as well. So it's an important bill

733
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 8: that a lot of universities across the country have asked for. Again,

734
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 8: not Congress policing college athletics, but Congress passing a law

735
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 8: to just undo all of these bad lawsuits that have

736
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 8: been lost over years and years, so that college athletics

737
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 8: can be governed again. You know, a portal where every

738
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 8: year kid can transfer and somebody can play for six

739
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 8: years for five different schools and oh, by the way,

740
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 8: they're supposed to be getting an education, but they can't

741
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 8: even transfer their credits because it's gotten so ridiculous. That

742
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 8: can get rained in as well, And I think everybody

743
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 8: wants some structure back in place.

744
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: Thank you, Congressman Steve Scalise. Look forward to seeing you again,

745
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: having you again on soon. Keep up the good work.

746
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 8: Hey, we're going to keep getting it done, but we're

747
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 8: going to deliver a lot of good things through the

748
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 8: American people. Thank you for having me claim.

00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: when we come back out of the next break. We'll

Speaker 1: certainly have cuts for you. Cash Ptel speaking right now,

Speaker 1: or more regularly than you have. You've been coming on

778
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: with us for years. This pipe bomber. We've talked about

779
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: you some on this related incident for years in the past,

780
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: and I just want to start before we dive into

781
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: the specifics with you, if you truly believed that, as

782
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: the Biden administration told us they did, that Gen six

783
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,600
Speaker 1: then surrounding days was basically the worst threat to the

784
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: country since the Civil War. The alleged pipe bombs would

785
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: be the most violent of all of the protests that

786
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: were surrounding that day in terms of what they could

787
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: have occurred if they had exploded. Wouldn't you have made

788
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: that your number one focus of investigation? Why do you

789
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: think it was not the number one focus, because clearly

790
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: it was not of the Biden doj.

791
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 4: Hey, Clay, I'm sorry you broke up that very first

792
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 4: part there, but why this was not not only not

793
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 4: focus of their investigation, this was a very vigorous investigation

794
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 4: early on through January February twenty twenty one. Then all

795
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 4: of a sudden it disappeared. Yeah, and that really is

796
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 4: a takeaway. That's the scandal about this arrest today, not

797
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 4: necessarily that this suspect is in custody and now they

798
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 4: just posted the complaint. So I'm going to be looking

799
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 4: through that. But why Chris rays dooj Joe Biden's Department

800
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 4: of Justice completely dropped this matter? And we have to

801
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 4: believe at this point some of the reporting indicating that

802
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 4: this individual, who was twenty five or twenty six at

803
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 4: the time, was linked to Antifa or that anti fascist

804
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 4: movement and was not a Maca person as we were

805
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 4: told for years.

806
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: So what do you think, actually, what do you think

807
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: actually has happened here? And you said the complaint has

808
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: just been posted, Dan Bongino, cash Ptel, Pam Bondi. They

809
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: had a big press conference. We've played some cuts from that.

810
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: I'm scrolling through Twitter right now trying to see if

811
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: I can see that complaint as you were just talking

812
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: about as well, what exactly has been alleged here? But

813
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: the arrest. This Brian, Well, let me play for you, Julian,

814
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: let you react to this. This was Dan Bongino describing

815
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: the moment they were able to solve the case and

816
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: his reaction cut thirty five.

817
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 9: Was there a particular moment where the evidence is coming

818
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 9: in and it's starting to look like progress is being made.

819
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 9: What was the moment that you knew that you were

820
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 9: on the road to solving the case?

821
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 8: Yeah?

822
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 10: Sure, I was smiling at you, because I certainly remember

823
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 10: the moment. Karen remembers it too. He said, are you

824
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 10: sitting down? He called me on the phone. I said,

825
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 10: oh boy, why sis bad news? And he said, I

826
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 10: think we got him. What exactly that tip was? We're

827
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 10: going to have to pass on that from right now.

828
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 10: We're still there's obviously we're in the prologue of a

829
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:53,280
Speaker 10: long book.

830
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 6: This is just the beginning.

831
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 10: This is not the end of the investigation, as you

832
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 10: all well know, having a reportant on these for a

833
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 10: long time. There's interviews to be conducted, the search, more

834
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 10: and processing scene is not even done.

835
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: Okay, the affidavit is up, Julie on the criminal complaint,

836
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: I've just seen images of this guy start to circulate.

837
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: He is a young black man, Brian Cole Junior, and

838
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: the indications that he is a diehard Trump supporter or

839
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: that he would have been an insurrectionist seems quite clearly

840
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: not to be true. And again, I'm reading through with

841
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: this affidavit right now. What I think this has the

842
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: potential So let me take a step back, because we're

843
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: analyzing this in real time. This has to put the

844
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 1: potential to change in many ways the narrative surrounding Jan

845
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: six itself. If instead of a crazed group of Trump terrorists,

846
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: there were also individuals here who are you know, this

847
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: individual is maybe just a left wing radical that was

848
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: also involved in this, That really kind of changes the

849
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 1: oh these are crazy white supremacist Trump supporters narrative doesn't

850
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't it challenge things.

851
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 4: It definitely does play and that's why and I was

852
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 4: saying this earlier in interviews this morning, before we even

853
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 4: knew you know, the individual's name, but there was some

854
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 4: reporting that he was tied to antifa. Is that that

855
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 4: explains why the investigation was dropped because it completely contradicted

856
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: what FBI Director Christopher Ray and I will be posting

857
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 4: these clips shortly on acts doing underscore Kelly two. Christopher

858
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,760
Speaker 4: Ray's insistence that Antifa played no role in the events

859
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 4: of January sixth. Now, he was saying this as early

860
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 4: as March of twenty twenty one when he designated January

861
00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 4: sixth an active domestic terrorism. But he was insistent that

862
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 4: no one from Antifa was involved. There was no way

863
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 4: for him to know that, Clay. But because you had

864
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 4: the president, because you had people who were there on

865
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,879
Speaker 4: January sixth who were saying that they saw Antifa there.

866
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 4: They Antifa getting out of buses. We also have right now. Finally,

867
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 4: I think it was discovered last year or in twenty

868
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 4: twenty three, undercoveredc Metro police officers arriving at Capitol Grounds

869
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 4: telling people that they were there to find Antifa. So

870
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 4: this would have been not just decimated the entire January

871
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 4: sixth insurrection narrative, but also contradicted Chris Ray because he

872
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:45,359
Speaker 4: was desperate to help develop this insurrection narrative and use

873
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 4: it against the President and the MAGA movement. So we

874
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 4: have a much bigger scandal on our hands. Rather than

875
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 4: just taking a man into custody who was seen on

876
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,359
Speaker 4: that video on January sixth, This is a huge cover

877
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 4: up on a massive scale of Chris Ray's FBI and

878
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 4: Joe Biden, Marrick Arland's Department of Justice keeping this from

879
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 4: the American people, keeping it out of legal proceedings. Jasics

880
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 4: defendants could have viewed something like this as its sculpatory

881
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 4: evidence because you had judged calling this an insurrection incited

882
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 4: by the president. So there are a lot of consequences

883
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 4: legal ramifications of what Chris Rays cover up if that

884
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 4: is indeed the fact of this individual who planted the

885
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 4: pipe bombs and then prompted the first leak of panic

886
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 4: and these evacuations that Dave right as the joint session

887
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 4: was heating at one o'clock.

888
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 1: All right, let me read this is the court. Let

889
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 1: me see. I want to make sure I get the

890
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: official because my producer. This is the affidavit in support

891
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: of the criminal complaint that has been filed and released,

892
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: and I'm reading through it live with you right now.

893
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,720
Speaker 1: Cole lives in a single family house with his mother

894
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 1: and other family members. He is thirty years old, resident

895
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: of Woodbridge, Virginia. The evidence laid out here, Julian, I'm

896
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: reading this in real time. The FBI has identified one

897
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: bank checking account six credit cards used by Cole to

898
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: they allege purchase multiple items consistent with the components used

899
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: to manufacture the pipe bombs, and they say that he

900
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 1: bought these things in a physical retail locations in northern Virginia.

901
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: And then it runs through the specifics of exactly what

902
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: was included in these pipe bombs and where they were

903
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: able to find and trace the purchases at home depot.

904
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: They then say that they were and this is very

905
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: detailed about the things that were purchased that they believe

906
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: were directly used in the pipe bomb that they were

907
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: able to end. They also then say that since at

908
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: least as early as January five, twenty twenty one, they

909
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 1: have identified his cell phone number and they have been

910
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: able to obtain historical cell site records located in the

911
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 1: immediate vicinity of the RNC and the DNC at the

912
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: time at which the bomb was placed. And these are

913
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: cell phone towers location data records obtained. And again I'm

914
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: reading from this in real time from the cell phone

915
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: provider provide service to Cole's cell phone show that he

916
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: was in the area and that they are able. Let's

917
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: see the particular sector that engaged and basically that he

918
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: was there during the time that they believe that these

919
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: pipe bombs were actually placed. So again I'm reading in

920
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: real time the specific pinging. You may or may not

921
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: have this in front of you, Julie. This will be

922
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,719
Speaker 1: ultimately for a court to determine guilt or innocence, but

923
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: they have it appears him purchasing the items that were

924
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: used to make the pipe bomb with his credit card,

925
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: and then his cell phone being in the location where

926
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: the pipe bomb was placed on that night. That is circumstantial.

927
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 1: They obviously have video footage of an individual as well.

928
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,919
Speaker 1: He's covered up, he fits the height size. Maybe they'll

929
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: be able to find some of these clothes. I don't know,

930
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: but this is very detail that was not discussed at

931
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: the press conference. So your reaction to some of this

932
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: obviously as it's coming down in real time, right.

933
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 4: So this does appear to confirm that the FBI has

934
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 4: the right person in custody. So that's a good sign.

935
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 4: We don't want, you know, a rush to judgment here,

936
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 4: and that does not appear to be the case. But

937
00:49:57,360 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 4: what was said during the press conference today, and I

938
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 4: would liked to have seen a lot more details on

939
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 4: the suspect and where this investigation is headed, and the

940
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 4: cover up apparently by Chris Ray's FBI rather than sort

941
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 4: of you know, this teamwork performance that we got instead.

942
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 4: So this this apidated, this complaint will be helpful in

943
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,919
Speaker 4: giving put some putting some warm meat on the bone.

944
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 4: But Clay, what was said during the press conference is

945
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 4: very important. This discovery identifying the suspect was not based

946
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 4: on new information or evidence, right, they were working off

947
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 4: what they already had, just putting new investigators, fresh pairs

948
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 4: of eyes on this, which means that the Ray FBI

949
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 4: has had had that for years. So this was an

950
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 4: intentional decision by someone, whether it was Chris Ray, whether

951
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 4: it's Steven Dantuano was the DC FBI chief at the

952
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 4: time overseeing the pipe investigation. So someone or somebody's made

953
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 4: conscious choice to pursue this, but to pretend at the

954
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 4: same time that the FBI actually was looking for this person.

955
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 4: So you know, as I said, there are big ram

956
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 4: the stations for this, and I hope that we hear

957
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 4: more from the FBI and the dj about what they

958
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 4: had when they had it. The fingerprints all over that

959
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 4: information early on, and then he made the decision to

960
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 4: shut the whole thing down.

961
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: Yes, Julie, we appreciate the time. Again, this is a

962
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: breaking news story. I know you're going to have a

963
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: crazy day. We're trying to make sense of it all.

964
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: But I think certainly the idea that this was a

965
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 1: white supremacist led revolt against the United States government would

966
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: be challenged if the most violent alleged perpetrator was a

967
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: young black man connected to Antifa, as the detail seemed

968
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: to suggest he was based on the based on the

969
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: information that's coming out here, So well, hey.

970
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 4: Great, put yourself. Put us back to April of twenty

971
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 4: Let's say that Chris Ray does announce this arrest of

972
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 4: this individual and he's a young black man, no ties

973
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 4: to MAGA, but has ties to Antifa. There would be

974
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 4: no January sixth insurrection narrative. It would have been over. Yeah,

975
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 4: it could not allow that to happen. And this is

976
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 4: a scandal of massive proportion, and that should be the

977
00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 4: biggest takeaway today.

978
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: And then I think, Julie, to build on top of that,

979
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to start to say, Okay,

980
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: what motivated this twenty five year old at that point

981
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: in time to decide to do this, and then he

982
00:52:35,719 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: vanishes for five years and doesn't do anything else, and

983
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: he's living at his parents' house in northern Virginia and

984
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 1: we suddenly find him, like what is his vag It

985
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: just they're an awful lot of lone wolfs that seem

986
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: who engage and I'm using quotation marks for those watching

987
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 1: on video, who engage in acts of violence that we hear, Oh,

988
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 1: they had no connection to anyone else. Isn't it kind

989
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: of suspicious how often that seems to happen.

990
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 4: It is happening more often, And I think that this

991
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 4: is something that that FBI, that Cash and Dan are

992
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 4: going to have to address straight on. I mean, if

993
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 4: we are expected to believe that this individual did this

994
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 4: on his own, we could see him on a phone.

995
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 4: We can see him using his glasses to like peer

996
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 4: for an address, we can see him retracing his steps.

997
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 4: This was not a sophisticated operation that this kid did

998
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 4: on his own. Who would be working at his behest.

999
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 4: And then Clay, like you and I and you Buck

1000
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 4: and I have talked about for years the very suspicious

1001
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 4: surroundings of related to the discovery at the R and

1002
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 4: C and the DNC. I still believe that something Morner

1003
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,720
Speaker 4: FERI's happened in that timeline that day on January sixth,

1004
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 4: right before those discoveries, than what happened with this individual

1005
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 4: who is arrested today.

1006
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:57,720
Speaker 1: Well remember, I mean, there's that video of Kamala Harris,

1007
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: supposedly an incredible danger coming within what a few feet

1008
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: of the alleged pipe bomb, and nobody notices it and

1009
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: they didn't turn into a huge story. I think you've

1010
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 1: talked about this in the past, when you know you're

1011
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: about to be elected as vice president and there's a

1012
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: pipe bomb in close proximity to you and nobody seems

1013
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: to be concerned about it. Anyway, There's a lot here,

1014
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you coming on, and I think a

1015
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:25,919
Speaker 1: lot of this is going to continue to be explained

1016
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: and to be unraveled as we go forward so that

1017
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: there's more sense to be made here. But we appreciate

1018
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: the time and thank you for everything that you've been

1019
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: doing on these cases. You soon thinks that's Julie Kelly.

1020
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 1: I'll try to get to a couple of your calls

1021
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: when we come back, because again I'm trying to read

1022
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: this affidavit in real time and analyze it as a

1023
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: major breaking news and again, at a minimum, this is

1024
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: destructive to the narrative of Jan six than a seismic way.

1025
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: That now a young black man who appears to have

1026
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: been of left wing ideology is arrested as the foremost

1027
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: violent actor of the Jan sixth window. It's just big news.

1028
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: It is huge news. And they couldn't find this guy

1029
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: for five years. Biden had four years when they were

1030
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 1: dragging Grandma's out of their house, when they were looking

1031
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 1: for everyone on Jan. Six and they couldn't find the

1032
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 1: guy who was engaged in potentially the most heinous of

1033
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 1: the potential violent acts of anybody. Again, a lot going

1034
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: on here. This is a big story I want to

1035
