1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 2: Back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton Show. Appreciate all of 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 2: you hanging out with us. Got Ryan Gardusky about to 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 2: join us right now. He's got a fantastic piece up. 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: It is called the Trump Biden Path to two seventy. 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: How the presidential campaign is changing fast. The substack is 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: National Populist Newsletter. You guys love Ryan Gardusky, and I 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: say this fondly because he can nerd out with the 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: best of them when it comes to analyzing so many 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: different parameters, so many different races. We've had him on 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 2: a lot over the past couple of years. Ryan, thanks 13 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 2: for joining us. You were initially, I think it's fair 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: to characterize skeptical that Trump in twenty twenty four would 15 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: be able to put together a coalition that could lead 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: him to victory. As we sit here thirteen months out 17 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: and you are looking and checking and analyzing all the 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: data sources coming in, you actually are coming around to 19 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: a place where I think Buck and I have been 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,279 Speaker 2: for the last couple of months, which is Trump's actually 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: in a really strong place. If you consider where he was, 22 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 2: for instance, in October of fifteen October of nineteen, he 23 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: was actually in a pretty strong place that was pre COVID. 24 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: But how would you assess Trump's chances in twenty four 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: and how do they compare to his historical standing? 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: Ryan, And thanks for joining us. 27 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, thanks for having me. I would say right now, 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 4: say in the began of the year he had about 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 4: a thirty percent, twenty five to thirty percent chance of winning. 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 4: He's probably at around a forty to forty five cent 31 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 4: chance of winning right now. So if I was a 32 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 4: betting man, my money would still be on Joe Biden 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 4: to win reelection. But odds have gotten a lot better 34 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 4: for Trump in a very very short period of time, 35 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 4: despite the news cycle actually getting worse for him, Polls 36 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 4: at least and some hard data on the ground has 37 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 4: been getting better. So on the national scene, and that 38 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 4: lobyl have seeing these election these polls where it has 39 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 4: shown either Trump tied or Trump winning or losing by 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 4: a point, versus polls in twenty twenty and twenty sixteen 41 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 4: that had him losing by five, six, seven, eight points. 42 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 4: So in the national scene, it's coming very very good 43 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 4: for Trump. The thing is is that Trump in the 44 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: past always outperformed in state polling the national polling. Now 45 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 4: they kind of reflect each other, and state polling for 46 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 4: the very first time is showing that Trump, if the 47 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 4: election were held today, would win the presidency two hundred 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 4: and eighty one Electoral College votes to two hundred and 49 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 4: fifty seven. And how he would do that. If you'd 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 4: flip Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, he'd still lose the other 51 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 4: four big swing states right now with Poland, which is Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, 52 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 4: and Virginia. So that being said that Trump now looks 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 4: better than not only did he did in twenty sixteen, 54 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 4: he also still looks better than he did in October 55 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 4: twenty nineteen. He looks actually far better than he did 56 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 4: and poll wise, even before COVID because at the time 57 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 4: the opinion of Trump was so negative and they were 58 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 4: running they were running on his record versus running on 59 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 4: someone else's record. 60 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 5: Ryan, what's really you think at this point? Is it 61 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 5: just the various indictments and the response to that, like, 62 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 5: why have the numbers trended more in Trump's favor up 63 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 5: to this point this year? 64 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the economy. I mean, the economy is just 65 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: absolute garbage every which way you look at it. I 66 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: don't even believe the government statistics right now on food prices. 67 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 4: I think that food prices have probably doubled in the 68 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: last two years. I think that it's no way it's 69 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: only a fifteen percent. Mortgages are over eight percent. It's 70 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: just it's everywhere you go. It's an attack on the 71 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 4: middle of working craft, especially those easily persuadable by the economy. 72 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 4: Upper middle class people who tend to have more cash 73 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: are less willing to move. But those are the things 74 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: that really are, you know, in everyone's face all the time, 75 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 4: the way that gas prices were kind of in their 76 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 4: face last year and going to twenty twenty one when 77 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 4: you saw Glenn Younkin win. The other thing that is 78 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 4: also building momentum for Trump is that one of the 79 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 4: border is completely broken, which dries Republicans crazy. And then 80 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 4: international conflicts in Ukraine and in Israel have really up 81 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 4: the momentum that Joe Biden cannot lead on an international stage. 82 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: So it's the perfect storm of the economy and inflation 83 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 4: being the main driver of negative feelings towards Biden. There 84 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 4: are absolutely right now at the bottom and the worst 85 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 4: it's ever been for his entire presidency. 86 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: Okay, so you have talked a lot about how you 87 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: know Trump maybe in some of these national polls, like 88 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 2: maybe he's pulling better in New York, maybe he's pulling 89 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: better in California, But being better in New York or 90 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: California doesn't necessarily matter because those states are. 91 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 3: Not going to be close. How many states? 92 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: Let's presume for just a moment that everything went perfect 93 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 2: for Trump in his campaign, and you know, he really 94 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: made a run. How many states do you think are 95 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 2: actually flippable for Trump? 96 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 6: Right? 97 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 2: So my suspicion and the reason I'm asking this is, 98 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: and I'm sure you saw it, there's a Quinnipiac poll 99 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: out that has with multiple different candidates involved, has Trump 100 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: only down seven in New York for instance? If Trump 101 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: only lost New York by seven, that would mean he 102 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: would be capable in your mind, of winning. 103 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 3: How many other states are there? 104 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 2: States that almost nobody talks about that if Trump had 105 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: a real run, could be in play. 106 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 3: Like what about that board look like? 107 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 4: So the main states that Trump has in play right 108 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 4: now are They're five? 109 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: Right? 110 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: Which is Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and the botas 111 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 4: are six. 112 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: They're six. 113 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 4: If you look at twenty sixteen, which is when both 114 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 4: candidates were incredibly unpopular, and you have third party candidates 115 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 4: running very very high over five percent threshold, which is 116 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 4: Gary Johnson and the Green part Jill Stein at the time, 117 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 4: I think they ran like six or seven points. Right now, 118 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 4: you have RFK Junior, you'll have a Libertarian, you'll have 119 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 4: a Green Party, and you may have Cornell West on 120 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 4: the ballot. 121 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: And sorry, let me ask you this because you're what 122 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 2: percentage if you were projecting right now do you think 123 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: third parties would take if we got a Trump Biden rematch? Like, 124 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: how many people would come off the board with all 125 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: those candidates you just mentioned. 126 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: At the best I would say as of right now, 127 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 4: and there's no real national polling on a lot of this, 128 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 4: I don't really know. Maybe six percent, maybe five percent. 129 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 4: Biden and Trump are historically unpopular for two major party candidates, 130 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 4: the most in twenty So that's the reference I'm going with. 131 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 4: OURFK Junior seems to be fairly popular, and you a poll, 132 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 4: but they don't really know much about him. He's kind 133 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 4: of done this very complex campaign where he's supporting like 134 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 4: a board wall and no vax mandates and at the 135 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 4: same time he's supporting reparations for slavery. So it's this complex, 136 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 4: you know, coalition he's just trying to assemble. So I 137 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 4: would say probably between five or six, which is maybe 138 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 4: two to three points more than you'll averagely get. And 139 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 4: obviously it's higher in some states and lower in the others, 140 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 4: but it depends largely on what ballots does he get on. 141 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: Had the Green Party gotten on the ballot in Arizona, 142 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 4: Georgia and Wisconsin in twenty sixteen twenty twenty, there's a 143 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 4: very high likelihood that Trump would have won reelection they 144 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 4: weren't on the ballot, So we don't know if that 145 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 4: will even be manifest itself. But if you look at 146 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, where the situation was very high disapproval, were 147 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 4: both parties third party counts running strong. The only other 148 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 4: states in my mind I could see getting close or 149 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: close in would be New Hampshire, Minnesota, and then once 150 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 4: again Nevada. Could Virginia. I don't know. We'll see what 151 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 4: Virginia's elections are like in a week. I kind of 152 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 4: doubt that could New Mexico. I don't know. Let's see 153 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 4: what Hispanics move a little bit, but the main two 154 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: ones are New Hampshire and Minnesota. 155 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 5: Ryan, you know Whishpad, Ryan Gandrowski, everybody and his substack 156 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 5: is excellent. The National Populist newsletter recommended to You can 157 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 5: subscribe on substack Ryan the Speaker fights. It looks like 158 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 5: Tom Emmer is now the GOP favorite for the Speaker's gavel. 159 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 5: What is going on here? What's your take on? 160 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 7: What does this mean? And how do we get here? 161 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 4: You play stupid games, you win stuper prizes. I mean, 162 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 4: I don't understand what are conservatives ever actually winning? What 163 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 4: were they winning? 164 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: Was it to get out of you? 165 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 4: What was the point of doing this? I mean, I 166 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 4: get him McCarthy broke his promises. Okay, I completely understand that, 167 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 4: But what are we going to get out of an 168 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 4: emmr that we weren't going to get in McCarthy. It 169 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 4: just doesn't make any sense to me. And because conservatives 170 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 4: seem to always rally around whoever they've seen on television 171 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 4: the most, they spent all this time wasting energy on 172 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 4: Jim Jordan and then Byron Donald's neither of which would 173 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 4: have been a viable speaker choice, neither of which well, 174 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know Donald's record that much, but 175 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 4: Jim Jordan would have been absolutely disappointing speaker if he 176 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 4: would have been picked speaker for Conservatives. And I don't 177 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 4: know what the point of any of this is. 178 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 7: Why would Jim Jordan. 179 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 5: I mean, we like Jim here, I'm just wondering, why 180 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 5: would Jim Jordan have been dis disappointing in your mind? 181 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a big sellout to big tech. When 182 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 4: they were having the big tech sensoring Conservatives things, he 183 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 4: was on the side of big tech. He gets a 184 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 4: lot of donations from big tech. 185 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 2: It's extra I will defend Jim Jordan a little bit 186 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: there based on my knowledge. I spoke on a panel 187 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 2: with him about big tech. Now I don't know about 188 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 2: his donors, but I think he's actually been really on 189 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 2: the side of recognizing what censorship has been. But let's 190 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 2: put that on. I think we agree that we've gotten 191 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: into a mess here. So what, in your mind, Ryan 192 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: is the solution at this point. And for people out 193 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 2: there who are just getting in their cars or just 194 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 2: hanging out with it, Tom Emmer is evidently the nominee now, 195 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: and there are reports that he doesn't have the votes 196 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: on the House floor either. So a part of me, 197 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: Bucket and Ryan. Part of me wonders if we're gonna 198 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: remember the do over thing I used as an example book, 199 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 2: where like, if you've played kickball back in the day 200 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: and it was a close call, you'd be like, let's 201 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 2: just do it over. Part of me thinks that Kevin 202 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: McCarthy might end up back in the speaker chair before 203 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 2: all this is over, and they'll just pretend none of 204 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 2: this happened. 205 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 7: What do you think happens. 206 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 4: Ryan, Yeah, I mean that could always be a possibility, 207 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 4: though I find it very hard. The majority is too 208 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 4: thin and emmer, you know, is an example of somebody 209 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 4: who fails forwards. He did a terrible job running the 210 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 4: midterms for the GOP. Is why they're in this position 211 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 4: where so few members have this much power. I think 212 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 4: that if I was anybody of influence, I would have 213 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 4: sat there and told them all to rally around. Johnson 214 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 4: from Louisiana. From the very beginning, he raises the most money, 215 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 4: he's pissed off the fewest people, and he could actually 216 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 4: do somewhat of a decent job, and I think that 217 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 4: that's basically all you have to have. Now, remember, the 218 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 4: speakership is not just somebody who puts people on committees 219 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 4: or somebody who you know puts bills up for a vote. 220 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 4: It's a national figure. It is the leader of the 221 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 4: party when the party is an opposition, He's got to 222 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 4: raise millions of dollars. He has to have a full 223 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 4: organization of political organization as well as keeping members in line, 224 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 4: keeping them happy, and have a vision for the country. 225 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 4: It's a very hard job. It's why Nancy Pelosi is 226 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 4: so uniquely good in her abilities as a Democrat. There 227 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: are there aren't that peep that many people on the 228 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: on the Demo on the Republican side, and I think 229 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 4: rallying to some people that there was no way that 230 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 4: you know, these Biden Republicans, Republicans in districts Biden one, 231 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 4: we're ever going to go to a bomb thrower, like 232 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 4: they just were never going to support a bomb thrower. 233 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 4: So find the most conservative person you can who you 234 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 4: know appeases the moderates while being conservative, and then pick 235 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 4: them and just try to get through the rest of 236 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 4: the year. Because if we have a shutdown without a speaker. 237 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 4: I don't really know what they're going to do. 238 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: Ryan, we asked you about the twenty twenty four race speaker. 239 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: The primary is also going on for the Republican nominee. 240 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: We didn't even ask you about that till now. Is 241 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: there any indication if you are a Ron DeSantis, Nikki Hayley, 242 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: vive Garamasolm, who are you want to point to? Is 243 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 2: there any indication that there is going to be any 244 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: drama whatsoever in terms of the actual Republican primary or 245 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: is Trump, in your opinion, basically ended all of the 246 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 2: debate already. 247 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 4: I mean, the caucus and iowall be interesting because it's 248 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 4: a caucus, so you don't know who shows up. It 249 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 4: takes twelve forty twelve hours to do. It's an exhausting experience. 250 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 4: It's not a primary, and it matters a lot of 251 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 4: organization that does favor Dissantas. I think he can overperform 252 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 4: canny Win. I'm not sure. Maybe the governor will come 253 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 4: in for him. The governors of Iowa and New Hampshire 254 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 4: seemed to be rousing round De Santas without ever doing anything, 255 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 4: though saying it and it matters a lot with Mike 256 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 4: Pennce and Tim Scott, which they basically look like they've 257 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 4: thrown in the hat, actually throwing the hat and say hey, 258 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 4: let's pick one person and actually support them and stop 259 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: wasting time, which is what they should have been doing 260 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 4: for months that they really wanted Trump not to win. 261 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 4: So we'll see. I mean, right now, obviously Trump is 262 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 4: very favor to do it given you know, unless from 263 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 4: the app Asery passes away or goes to jail. But 264 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 4: aside from that, he looks very likely to I just 265 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 4: don't think it's over till it's over. And if there's 266 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 4: any place an upset could happen, it's an Iowa. 267 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 5: How are we looking for the House in the next 268 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 5: I know it's early, but it seems to me that 269 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 5: the consensus or the conventional wisdom, Ryan, is Senate's actually 270 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 5: pretty good for Republicans in terms of what's up. But 271 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 5: what do you think about our chances to get a 272 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 5: bigger majority in the House or at least just keep 273 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 5: a majority. 274 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks right now or how House Republicans look 275 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 4: like the first time is a saving private, Ryan, it's 276 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 4: a complete disaster. The you have a case of redistricting 277 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 4: going on in New York, which we'll see what ends 278 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 4: up happening. If we Democrats try to redistrict aget in 279 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: New York, you have Republicans loss to seat. In Alabama, 280 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 4: there's a major court case going on on the Voting 281 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 4: Rights Act, which if the Supreme Court strikes down the 282 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 4: Voting Rights Act, it will probably net Republicans four to 283 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 4: five seats in the House because they'll stop drawing black 284 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 4: majority districts in the Deep South, which means they'll probably 285 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 4: be no Democrat left in Mississippi, Alabama, South Georgia, South Carolina. 286 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 4: They could all be gone. But if they don't strike 287 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 4: it down, it's likely Democrats will pick up extra seats 288 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: throughout the entire South. They just redistricted in North Carolina. 289 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 4: So all those fights are going on, and there's a 290 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 4: dozen Democrats a dozen Republicans in Biden districts, and there's 291 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 4: very few possible pickups in Trump districts where Democrats hold. 292 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 4: So it's a difficult map. Trump would have to or 293 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 4: whoever the Republican on they would have to outperform a 294 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 4: Trump did by about two to three points nationally to 295 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 4: make more districts competitive and rep Bblicans are down the 296 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 4: smartest possible cabet and no redistributing in New York and 297 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 4: the VRA the Voting Rights Actor have to be struck 298 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 4: down section. 299 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 6: Two of it. 300 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 4: So you're really asking for a very perfect gamble for 301 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: everything to go correct for them to keep the House. 302 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 4: It's possible, but it's not great. 303 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 2: One word answer here, because we're coming up against it. 304 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: Is it fair to say Republicans should be favored to 305 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 2: win the Senate and that maybe the flip would be 306 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: lose House win Senate if you were looking at the 307 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: board thirteen months out. 308 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 4: Yes, one way answer, Yes, all right, okay. 309 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 5: Ryan, Thank you so mudy National Populist Newsletter.

But 337 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 8: at the end of the hey, they had no plan. 338 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 8: They had no plan, and this could stretch out another 339 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 8: two or three week and it's limited the ability of 340 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 8: the committees, not only to meet, but my committee to 341 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 8: do subpoenas and things like that. 342 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 7: So this isn't being productive. 343 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 8: This is unfortunate, and you know, I'm ashamed. 344 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 7: That we're in this position. 345 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 8: Hopefully we'll we'll find someone that can get two hundred 346 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 8: and seventeen votes. 347 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 7: All right, Clay. 348 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 5: The best I can say for this is maybe a 349 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 5: lesson learned for the GOP here. Maybe I think when 350 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 5: you come back, there's an actually really interesting way to think. 351 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 2: About what went down and why. It is emblematic of 352 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 2: many of the challenges that exist for large institutions in 353 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 2: our modern era. And I'll lay out a little bit 354 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 2: of a thesis for that. Also, we'll have a little 355 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 2: bit of fun. There's a couple of funny stories out 356 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 2: there amidst all the chaos and all the awfulness. Frankly, 357 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 2: owning a firearm comes with responsibilities like to be properly 358 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 2: trained and to maintain your skill level. 359 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 7: That takes practice. 360 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 5: Owning a Mantis x Trenity ice makes that practice easier. 361 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: This is a. 362 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 5: Firearms training system that is a no ammo all electronic 363 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 5: way to improve your shooting accuracy.

Appreciate all 381 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 2: of you hanging out with us. Okay, a couple of 382 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 2: things I was gonna hit, fuck the Kevin McCarry, the 383 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 2: speaker fight, the eight who decided not to vote for 384 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: Kevin McCarthy, who represent four percent of the Republicans in 385 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 2: the House and have put us on this basically roller 386 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 2: coaster ride of uncertainty as to who the speaker is 387 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: going to be. I just want you to think about 388 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 2: this as not only evidence of this situation, but also 389 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 2: bigger picture what this can represent. It can be simultaneously 390 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 2: a good decision for the eight who voted against Kevin 391 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: McCarthy for their own personal brands and their name recognition 392 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: and their fundraising, and also be the worst thing for 393 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 2: the larger body politic of Republicans. Those things aren't necessarily 394 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 2: required to overlap. In other words, it can be beneficial 395 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 2: to an individual member and detrimental to the party. And 396 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 2: the analogy I would draw is use Bob Iger at Disney. 397 00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: Bob Iger's the. 398 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 3: CEO of Disney. 399 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 2: In letting Disney go woke, he has undercut the overall 400 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: brand of Disney, but he has simultaneously enriched himself by 401 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 2: making hundreds of millions of dollars and guaranteeing that he 402 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,239 Speaker 2: gets to remain CEO. It's often the case in a 403 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: social media era where individuals can be rewarded personally for 404 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 2: doing what's worse for the larger institution. Just think about 405 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 2: that as an analogy going forward, because it starts to 406 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 2: explain a lot of decisions that are made. It can 407 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: be individually positive but a net negative for the larger brand. 408 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: Just like Bob Iger with Disney, the Republicans who voted 409 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 2: against McCarthy may well benefit individually while undercutting the overall 410 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: brand of the caucus of Republicans in the House. All right, 411 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 2: Yesterday Buck, we played a video of Caree Jean Pierre 412 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: being asked about anti the Israeli sentiment, anti Jewish sentiment, 413 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 2: anti Semitism in the United States, and she immediately responded 414 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 2: that Muslims were the real people who were in danger 415 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: in the United States. That clip has gotten even more attention. 416 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 2: But I want to make sure that we share not 417 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 2: only the question but also the answer, because I think 418 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: it contextualizes what is fair to say is the tension 419 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 2: that exists right now on the left over can you 420 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 2: support Israel while simultaneously getting most Muslim votes as well? 421 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 3: Listen to this. 422 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 9: What is this level of concern right now about potential 423 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 9: rise of anti Semitism. We have not seen any credible 424 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 9: threats Muslim and those perceived to be Muslim have endured 425 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 9: a disproportionate number of hate field attacks. President Biden understands 426 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 9: that many of our Muslim Arab Arab Americans and Palestine. 427 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 9: American loved ones and neighbors are worried about the hate 428 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 9: being directed at their communities. 429 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 7: I mean, what. 430 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 5: I know that you play the question so we can 431 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 5: all see she's asked been anti Semitism, and she launches 432 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 5: into an islamophobia lecture. Yes, which tells you a lot 433 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 5: about the politics of the Democrat Party in this moment, 434 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 5: that while they'll say some of the right things on Israel, 435 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 5: they also will then turn around. 436 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 7: And on anti Semitism. 437 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 3: But then they'll turn. 438 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 5: Around and elevate this issue of Islamophobia as though this 439 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 5: is a real thing. There are not mobs of Jews 440 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 5: or anyone else marching through neighborhoods basically calling for violence 441 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 5: and incitement against Muslims. Yeah, and that would be a 442 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 5: terrible thing if that did happen, and we would obviously 443 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 5: be very opposed to it. But that's not happening. There 444 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 5: are mobs of well really just leftists. I mean, some 445 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 5: of them are, but it's mostly leftists. I'm sure it's 446 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 5: actually mostly just you know, if you're asking me, it's 447 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 5: white MSNBC watchers a lot of the time. Who are 448 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 5: the ones marching in these mobs? But there are you 449 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 5: know some Muslims marching along with them, and they're actually 450 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 5: saying things that make Jewish people in this country feel unsafe. 451 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 5: So why the need for a false parody in this moment? 452 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 5: Are a false equivalency? 453 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 3: Right? 454 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 5: I mean this is a little bit like when they 455 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 5: do the you know, both sides need to calm the 456 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 5: violence or whatever. 457 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 7: No, this isn't a both sides moment. 458 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 5: One side is under assault and feels unsafe, and understandably 459 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 5: so given the dynamics at. 460 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 7: Play the other. This is just politics. 461 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 5: This is just the Democrats pretending that the group that 462 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 5: they views as ethnic minority religious minority in this country, 463 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 5: notably or specifically Muslims, are somehow under threat. 464 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 7: That's not the case. 465 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 2: Here is a Carol Markowitz shared this. This is David Burge, 466 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 2: and if I'm mispronouncing that, my apology. He tweeted out. 467 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: Jews are two percent of the US population. That's according 468 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 2: to the FBI's own statistics. Fifty one point four percent 469 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two US hate crimes targeted Jews. And 470 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: we have witnessed two straight weeks of anti Semitic hate 471 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 2: marches on elite college campuses and also in many different cities. 472 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 2: I'm reading from his tweet there, that's kind of evidence 473 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: that Jews might feel a little bit uncomfortable in the 474 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 2: United States. 475 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 3: Book. 476 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 2: So the fact that Karine Jean Pierre felt compelled to 477 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 2: turn a question about anti semitism, and let me just 478 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 2: point this out, tu Buck, Joe Biden based his entire decision, 479 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 2: he said, on running for president of the United States, 480 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 2: on the Charlottesville, Virginia protest and there were anti Semitic 481 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: chants that were uttered there, and he talked about how 482 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 2: that was vile and unacceptable and it led. 483 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 3: Him to need to make the decision to run for president. 484 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 5: Well, specifically to run against Trump, because he says that 485 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 5: Trump said that there were good people on bothe people, 486 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 5: and when you look at the transcript, that's not what 487 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 5: Trump was saying. It's clear it's not what he was saying. So, yes, 488 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 5: no surprise, Biden ran based on a lie effectively, which 489 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 5: is not a surprise to anybody who knows anything about 490 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 5: Joe Biden. 491 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: But if we had an honest media, wouldn't they say, hey, 492 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 2: given all the marches going on in New York City, 493 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 2: given all the protests that we're seeing on college campuses, 494 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 2: which are in many ways rooted in anti Semitism. 495 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 3: If Joe Biden truly. 496 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: Cared about the soul of the nation, he wouldn't just 497 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: condemn people that he thought were Donald Trump's supporters for 498 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 2: what they might say related to people of the Jewish faith. 499 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 2: He would come out and say, that's totally unacceptable for 500 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 2: this to be occurring in the United States, because what 501 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: we're seeing from left wingers in America right now overwhelmingly 502 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: dwarfs the tiny number of people that were involved. 503 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 3: Doing anything in Charlotteville. 504 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 5: I mean imagine, you know, and this is not often 505 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 5: talked about for reasons that we all know, but when 506 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 5: the mass shooter at the baseball Diamond who tried a 507 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 5: mass assassination of members of Congress, I believe it was 508 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 5: twenty eighteen, might have been twenty seventeen, shot Steve Scalise. 509 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 5: You know, I'll abide by Clay's rulier. I know the 510 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 5: guy's name, but we won't say the mass shooter's name. 511 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 5: It was a Bernie Sanders supporting leftist who showed up 512 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 5: and tried to kill a dozen a dozen or so 513 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 5: conservative members of Congress. If after that incident there were 514 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 5: mobs of Democrats marching through the street saying Republicans got 515 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 5: what they deserved or you know, Republicans, this is a 516 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 5: we would be right to feel very uncomfortable in this 517 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 5: country right now, right, I mean, you know this would 518 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 5: be under political lines, not religious lines. But there was 519 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 5: just a a And obviously I'm saying orders of magnitude 520 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 5: worse what happened in Israel, But I'm just pointing out 521 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 5: there was a targeting of Jews in Israel that killed 522 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 5: fourteen hundred of them, and the response of some mobs 523 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 5: in this country is to march in the streets and 524 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 5: say we stand with the people that did the mass 525 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 5: terror attack. I mean, there's no equivalency here, is what 526 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 5: I'm saying, right, It's yeah, no under sacked. One group 527 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 5: has been has been and it's even I agree, And 528 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 5: when maybe we'll have Victor Davis Hanson on to speak 529 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 5: about this. 530 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 3: This isn't really a war. 531 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 5: This is a terror attack and a response to a 532 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 5: terror attack. This is not you know, standard nation state 533 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 5: military conflict because they didn't even go after IDF as 534 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 5: we've discussed. They really just went after civilians. They did 535 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 5: what al Qaeda does. They did what isis does. 536 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, the only way you could call it a war, 537 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: I guess in this response is if you have bought 538 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 2: in and you could potentially to the idea that the 539 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 2: Palestinian government is effectively taken over by Hamas, and then 540 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 2: the action by Jamas is actually representative of what the 541 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 2: state itself would choose to do if it were given 542 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: the power to act instead of Hamas. Right, that's the 543 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: way you would describe this as a war. But as 544 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 2: we've said before, Ukraine and Russia is and I know 545 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 2: there are depredations taking place, but that's a traditional war. 546 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 2: The two armies are mostly fighting against each other. That's 547 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 2: not necessarily what's going on here. Although the way this 548 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 2: thing is spiraling, there may be multiple armies involved before 549 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 2: all is said and done. 550 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, we'll see. 551 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 5: If you're a longtime collector of photos that have boxes 552 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 5: of them to prove it, Legacy Box has a great 553 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 5: offer going on right now that will help preserve them forever. 554 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 5: Take advantage of the Legacy Box four x six photoplan 555 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 5: and get two hundred photos scan for just nineteen ninety five. 556 00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 5: That's seventy five percent less than what other brands Chargelegacy 557 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 5: Box dot com slash buck to get started as the 558 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 5: world's largest digitizer.

They're broadcasting. They took a woman who was 633 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: pregnant and picked her. Then after they got done raping her, 634 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: they decided to cut the baby out of her. Okay, 635 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: they left her alive to see that the baby was there. 636 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: They then proceeded to cut the head off the baby 637 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: and burn it alive in front of her before killing 638 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,440 Speaker 1: her by forensics. I mean, that's the kind of crazy 639 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: hate we're talking about. 640 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 5: They still, the the most evil acts imaginable, the most 641 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 5: evil acts anybody could ever do, have been committed by 642 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 5: Hamas here and we see that mark and we're we're 643 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 5: very clear on what we think the actions required are 644 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 5: now and who is you know, moral and who is 645 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 5: right in this in this conflict and what needs to happen. 646 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 5: Thank you for calling in from from Texas and h claya. 647 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 5: I I said the other day, I have neighbors here, 648 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 5: you know, I live. I live in Miami, and I 649 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 5: have a number of Jewish neighbors and they're feeling the 650 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 5: same way. What is this with these Palestinian these pro 651 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 5: Palestinian marches where they're shouting these things? 652 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 7: Given what just happened, how could. 653 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,240 Speaker 5: I feel safe or how could I feel like there's 654 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 5: not some broader movement of anti Semitism out there that 655 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 5: could erupt at any moment and be a threat to 656 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 5: those you know, Jewish individuals and their families. 657 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 7: Ben in al Paso, Ben, what's going on? 658 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 6: Yeah? I just wanted to ask what is the objection 659 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 6: to and why are Republicans overlooking Byron Donald's for speaker. 660 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 6: He's a member of the Freedom Caucus, intelligent and articular speaker, 661 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,840 Speaker 6: and he is black. He would be the first black 662 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,359 Speaker 6: speaker of a House in history, which makes him more 663 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,959 Speaker 6: palapable through the Congressman and Purple districts and may even 664 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 6: get him a voter troop from the Dens. 665 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 5: Well, I'll tell you, Ben, we actually just had a 666 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 5: real nice uh you know chat. We bumped into Congressman 667 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 5: Donalds when we were in d C. I mean just 668 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 5: literally just you know, walked walking down the hallway and 669 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 5: saw him, uh and got got to catch up with 670 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 5: him a little bit. Look, I think he's a really 671 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 5: strong member of Congress. But it's right now, I mean, 672 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 5: I can't I can't answer the question as to why 673 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,800 Speaker 5: other Republicans decided that they were going to put Emmer 674 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 5: ahead of Byron Donalds. 675 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 7: But that's happened already. 676 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 2: Well and everybody else for that matter, I think Donald's 677 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 2: came in third or fourth. My assumption would be he's young. 678 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,880 Speaker 2: I mean, he has always been in Congress for a 679 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:48,760 Speaker 2: couple of terms. 680 00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 5: Usually the speaker favors and there's you know, there's back 681 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 5: room dealings. 682 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 2: You for twenty years before typically you end up the 683 00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 2: speaker of the House. 684 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,720 Speaker 5: I mean, it is frustrating. But even Gradski Ryan Graduski 685 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 5: said this. 686 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 7: Earlier the hour. 687 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 5: Nancy Pelosi, as much as she is, you know, all 688 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 5: the worst ideas of the San Francisco Liberal sort of 689 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 5: embodied very effective at being a progressive, totalitarian House speaker. 690 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,720 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, she ruled with an iron fist 691 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 5: and maintained it for a long time. It's its own thing, 692 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 5: and it requires certain skills and certain, let's just say, 693 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 5: certain leverage. I think within the Congress that not everybody had. 694 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 5: I don't disagree with the caller. 695 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,240 Speaker 2: I think that Byron Donalds would be an interesting choice 696 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 2: that would potentially be more of a outreach while also 697 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 2: having a strong conservative The House Republicans disagree
