Just a little preview. 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 2: Our friend Carol Markowitz at The Carol Markowitz Show will 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: be here an hour two. She just got back from 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 2: a trip to Israel. She'll talk to us about that. 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: Author and a gen Z streamer, Isabelle Brown, going to 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 2: be with us in the third hour to talk about, well, 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 2: gen Z, is it the end of America? Or can 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: gen Z actually help save America? I am learning, you know, 13 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 2: gen Z has all this lingo, and this is when 14 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: you definitely feel your generation. When you're learning the lingo 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 2: like you're learning a foreign language. There are phrases that 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: they use, and I'm like, I don't even know what 17 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: is gen Z? Do you know the years? 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: No? 19 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's two thousand. Is that right? 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 2: It's born after two thousand. I think I need to I. 21 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,319 Speaker 1: Think my kids are gen Z. I think I've got 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: a couple of gen Z kids. I'm not sure that 23 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: all of the years kind of run together. Isabelle Brown 24 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: does really good stuff. I've seen her stuff a lot 25 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: on Instagram, And you know, I don't know how to 26 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: do anything on Instagram other than share the videos that 27 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: other people post for me. That's when I feel like 28 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: an old man, like I buck. I don't even know 29 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: how to do a filter on a phone, like I 30 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: change a picture, like I don't know how to do 31 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. 32 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: So before we get out our walkers and start talking 33 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,119 Speaker 2: about the good old days, here, we got more news 34 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: for you. The Trump is raging as he will be 35 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: forced to sell off great assets. That's a quote at 36 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: fire sale prices to pay the four hundred and fifty 37 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: million dollars New York fraud fine. We've got some of 38 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: his truth social rants to get into. The Supreme Court 39 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: has indefinitely blocked Texas from enforcing any immigration law. So 40 00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: to be clear, the government has decided the federal governments 41 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: in the Supreme Court is the only only arbiter of 42 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: anything having to do with a border. A state is 43 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: not allowed to enforce the border. I wonder if Texas 44 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 2: may just try to call the bluff here and keep 45 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: going with it. But nonetheless, we've got Letitia James making 46 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 2: some very ominous threats about what's going to happen in 47 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 2: Trump world. We have Peter Navarro former. You ever interviewer 48 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: or meet him, Clay, I've interviewed, we have him on 49 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: the show, ever, I can't remember. Yeah, we did once. Yeah, 50 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: I back in the Trump era when he was president. 51 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: I remember interviewing Peter a few times on trade stuff. 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 2: Peter Navarro, everybody is an ex White House aide who 53 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 2: is turning himself into federal prison today. Federal prison for 54 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: Peter Navarro for refusing to comply with the House Select 55 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: Committee show trial over January sixth. Very very rare for 56 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: someone to be sent to prison for contempt of Congress. 57 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 2: But that is what is going on here. So they're 58 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: breaking rules, They're breaking norms all over the place. Also, 59 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: Donald Trump has sued George Stephanopolopolas and ABC News for 60 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: alleged defamation. We could assess that, but you know, Trump's 61 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: got other legal things we're gonna get into here, Clay, 62 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: Let's start with this. I want to give everyone a 63 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: few of Trump's truths, a couple of Trump's truth social 64 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: posts here because he's up against the deadline right now. 65 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: On Monday. Letitia James, the New York State Attorney General 66 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 2: can start seizing assets for the judgment for an unpaid 67 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: court judgment in the state of New York. Here's what 68 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: Trump is saying about it. And then, Clay, you tell 69 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: me where you think this is going. The corrupt political 70 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: hacks in New York judge and ag are asking me 71 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: to put up massive amounts of money before I'm allowed 72 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: to appeal the ridiculous decision never done before, no jury, 73 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: no vict him, full disclaimer, clause, happy banks, election interference, 74 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: all caps, witch hunt, all caps, Clay, all of that 75 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: is true. But I don't know how Trump manages to 76 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: get around this. I'm trying to look at what are 77 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: his options, what are the places he can go to 78 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: get out of this maze. 79 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: So we talked about this a few weeks ago and 80 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: kind of laid it out that even billionaires do not 81 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: typically have large large amounts of cash because it isn't 82 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: very efficient to be sitting on piles of cash. 83 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 2: You want your money to be working for you. 84 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: And so I said that I thought Trump was probably 85 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: going to have a great deal of difficulty coming up 86 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: with this four hundred and fifty million dollars plus the 87 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,559 Speaker 1: one hundred million or some such that he also had 88 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: to put down. It appears that Trump has somewhere in 89 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: the neighborhood of maybe a couple one hundred million dollars 90 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: in somewhat liquid assets, and that is what they use 91 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: to put a bond down on the Egene Carrol case. 92 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: Now he's got to put forward four hundred and fifty 93 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: some odd million dollars as a bond payment to appeal 94 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: the verdict against his businesses, and he doesn't have that cash. 95 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: And we have talked on this program. I have a 96 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: small pinprick of the real estate assets that Donald Trump 97 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: would have, but buck I have seen. For instance, I 98 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: own a part of nearly twenty acres of commercial real 99 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: estate in the vicinity of Franklin, Tennessee, and I'm a 100 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: part of a group there and we went to go 101 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: refi and the bank just refused to refi, so we 102 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: had to buy it out completely. And I don't know 103 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: if I talked about this on the show, but that 104 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: is emblematic of what's going on right now with many 105 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: different commercial real estate assets all over the country. Banks 106 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: are verified of getting caught in this interest rate rise, 107 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: and so they're not willing to REFI right. 108 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: Now, Well, Clay, but it's it's much worse than that, 109 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: right because it's not that the banks were afraid to 110 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: do something for you because you are hitler and about 111 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 2: to end the republic. And this is the part of 112 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 2: it that I've said, I've said for a long time 113 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: on radio that you don't have to burn down all 114 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 2: the villages. You only have to burn down one, and 115 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 2: the rest of the villagers often get the idea. And 116 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 2: with Trump, they are sending a message not just politically 117 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: to anybody who would support Trump, but also financially. All 118 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: these buildings that people are looking at and saying, well, 119 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: it's worth five hundred million, you know, Forty Wall Street 120 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 2: it's worth, however, hundreds of millions, and Trump Tower and 121 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: these different properties that he owns. What percentage of the 122 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: property does he own. We don't know how many partners 123 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: does he have, what kind of shareholder or partner agreement 124 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 2: exists for it. So even if he wanted to liquidate 125 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 2: some of these buildings, it's not clear which ones he 126 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 2: would be able to override the others. And if he 127 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: could get everyone to agree to liquid let's just say 128 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 2: he did own eighty percent of it or fifty one 129 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: percent or whatever, and he could liquidate it. Who wants 130 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: to be the buyer? There's actually no incentive to be 131 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: the buyer right now because the price is only going down. 132 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: Trump is being forced into the situation where he's a 133 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: billionaire running onto the used car lot saying I'm not 134 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: leaving here with a I'll go to prison unless I 135 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: buy one of your cars. That only forces the price down, right, 136 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: So they create a spiral of all this additional pressure. 137 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to do business with him. Nobody wants to 138 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 2: be involved in bailing him out. I'm talking about that 139 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: from the business perspective, And they basically serve their own 140 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: interest by waiting and seeing how low some of these 141 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: prices will go. 142 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so it's not only that they've come after him, 143 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: it's that they've happened to end up coming after him 144 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: at probably the worst time to be trying to sell 145 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: commercial real estate since two thousand and eight. So even 146 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: if he wanted to liquidate assets, that's why Look mar 147 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: A Lago. I don't know what percentage of mar A 148 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,679 Speaker 1: Lago he owns. They valued it at eighteen million dollars. 149 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: I rush the Russia's wife just sold his property in 150 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: Palm Beach for what almost one hundred and fifty million dollars, 151 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: not far from mar A Lago. I would think you 152 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,559 Speaker 1: and I have been to mar A Lago several times. 153 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: I believe it's eighteen acres. It's both fronting the canal 154 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: there and as well as beach ass access. I would 155 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: think that mar A Lago is probably worth four hundred 156 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: and fifty or five hundred million dollars right now. I 157 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: don't think that's a crazy number. I don't know what 158 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: percentage of it Trump owns. But this is why I 159 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: said on yesterday's program, I would like to think that 160 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: somebody who is worth tens of billions of dollars, who 161 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: is a Trump supporter, would look at this and say, 162 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: this is financial shenanigans. Let me see your assets. I'll 163 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: give you a loan. I don't want you worried about this. 164 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: They're coming after you entirely because of politics. Now is 165 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: somebody willing to do it? 166 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, Clay, the other part of it 167 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: is he could lose on appeal and then this which. 168 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: Is why you have the assets, which is why the 169 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: assets have to be supporting the valuation here, right, Or. 170 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: What I'm saying is, who thinks that Trump is going 171 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: to pay them back at that point? 172 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: Well, that's why you have to have the asset bonded, right, 173 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: Like you have to say at that point, okay, then 174 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: I have the collateral. I'll put a valuation on mar 175 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: Lago for instance. 176 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is, if a billionaire comes along 177 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: and says I'll write check, I'll write Trump a check 178 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 2: for the four hundred and fifty four million dollars, that's 179 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: actually more, by the way, you have to put up 180 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: twice the twice the value in a bond. But let's 181 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: just say that they gave Trump the liquid assets. That's 182 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: if you went for a surety bond. And again I'm 183 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: not pretending like i've you know, this is like a 184 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 2: specific area of the law and this is what I've 185 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: learned from reading about it, but also talking to people 186 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: on the on the real estate side of the house. Clay, 187 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: if if he loses that money, that money is gone, right, correct. 188 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: So now so now you're the billionaire. You gave Trump 189 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 2: five hundred million dollars or close to it, So you're 190 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: just not getting five hundred million dollars. No, No, I'm 191 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: saying you would have to collateralize that in some way 192 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 2: as a loan. Now what the valuation is of mar 193 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: Lago or something else. Like, I'm not just giving somebody 194 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty million dollars without a collateralized uh, 195 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 2: you know, asset attached to it. Yeah, I mean, good luck, 196 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: good luck trying to enforce that one. I mean, I 197 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: don't know. I think that's that. The problem here is 198 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 2: what's the incentive structure for somebody else to step in 199 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: and do it. I mean it would have to be 200 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 2: somebody who say, who has so much money who says, 201 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: I this is good at the country, Yeah, the good 202 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 2: of the country. And what I'm saying is it's not 203 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: a good investment, right, I mean you're yeah, I agree, 204 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: we agree there. 205 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: You would not do it because you're like, oh my god, 206 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: this is a must have, Like you're doing it because 207 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: you think Crump's getting screwed and you want to provide 208 00:10:58,679 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: support to him. 209 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 2: Usually a bomb. 210 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 3: You know. 211 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 2: Even if a bank did this or a surety bonder's 212 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: they take a percentage. It's like a fee structure involved. 213 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a business transaction of some sort. 214 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 2: And that's what you're talking about, the collateralized sense for 215 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 2: a white Night to come along and write the check. 216 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: You know, you may not see that money ever again, 217 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: or at least for five years or ten years or 218 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: whatever it may be. And who knows at that point. 219 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: Right, So yeah, and also, by the way, how many 220 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: people want to put themselves then in the firing line? 221 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: This is what the to your point, the burn a village. 222 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: They want to come after you if you do it. 223 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: They're gonna look at your finances and be like, why 224 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 1: are you doing this? What's your relationship with Trump? What's 225 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: your relationship with New York? Usually, and this is true 226 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: whether you're dealing. 227 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: With you know, the irs, or you're dealing with you know, 228 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 2: civil court judgment. Usually the government wants to figure out 229 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: a way they want to get their check, you know, 230 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 2: once you've been found to be in breach of something, right, 231 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 2: they want to get their check. They want an agreement, 232 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 2: they want to move on, they want to do something else. Usually, 233 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: in this case, because it's Trump, the incentives are all haywire. 234 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 2: The incentives are all amiss. Because for Laticia James, the 235 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: slower and more destructive this process is the better for her. 236 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 2: You know, the more they grind this out, the more 237 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: they you know, every. 238 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: He's running for governor, baby, like this is all a 239 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: play politically for her. 240 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 2: She wins in the state, and everyone keeps coming out. 241 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 2: I see this a lot on on X on Twitter. 242 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: We just call it Twitter again. I don't want to 243 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: keep saying X it's Twitter for purposes in this show. Yeah, 244 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: it's Twitter, fine, thank you. So. So everyone keeps coming out, 245 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: and they're saying, oh, well, he'll appeal, he'll appeal. This 246 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 2: is like saying you're stuck in the Soviet Union, You're 247 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: going to appeal. New York is now the Soviet Union. 248 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: As far as Trump is concerned, there is nowhere else 249 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: to go. There's nothing else unless he can get the 250 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: Supreme Court to come in, and there would have to 251 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: be some issue of constitutionality. New York is a poorly 252 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: run state with lunatic communists on the judiciary. The problem 253 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: that is not a constitutional issue. I hate your breaking down, 254 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 2: like not really not not that the Supreme Court is 255 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: going to step in on. 256 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: But this is why I said, if you have the 257 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: ability to get your assets out of blue states, if 258 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: you have any kind of conservative principle at all. I'd 259 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: be nervous. I bet you would too if you still 260 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: live in New York City that they're going to find 261 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: something because they don't like your politics. If Trump lived 262 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: in Florida legitimately for the last thirty years and based 263 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: his corporations there, they wouldn't be. 264 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: Able to do this. 265 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: This is because he's a Republican who happens to live 266 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: in New York. And I would say, if you have 267 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: the opportunity to get out of there while you can. 268 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: This is why, you know, Judge Cannon, I believe down 269 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 2: in Florida, she's calling them to task a little bit 270 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: on Oh this stuff is I want to talk about 271 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: this a little bit, Clay. This stuff is so super secret. 272 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: She's saying, Okay, if it's so super secret that you 273 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: need to lock this guy up in prison for the 274 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 2: rest of his life, a jury has to say, we're 275 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: not gonna take your word for it. Yeah, this is 276 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: about the Special Council, right, That's see, this is so interesting. 277 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: That's the Florida process. That's what happens when you're outside 278 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 2: of a Democrat fiefdom in Florida. I'm not saying it's 279 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 2: going perfectly for him. But notice they had to get 280 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: an outside prosecutor to bring it in that jurisdiction. But 281 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: by bringing in that jurisdiction, you at least get a 282 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: judge who exists outside the New York political or DC 283 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 2: political ecosystem. And sure enough, they're running into all these 284 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: challenges already. They don't have some judge who's rubber stamping 285 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: everything right in New York on the civil side, I mean, Clay, 286 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: it's just a tyranny factory. They're just all these judges 287 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: are going to keep agreeing with each other and keep 288 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: going keep I don't know how Trump gets out of this, 289 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: but then again, he's Trump, and somehow he's managed to 290 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: get out of everything else, and somehow he's ahead in 291 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: the polls in every swing state. And it's a crazy 292 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 2: world we're living in right now. Everyone.

Here he is talking about a place. 341 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: This is not about me. 342 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 5: One of the big stories is about what is really 343 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 5: an unprecedented assault on the constitutional separation of powers and 344 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 5: the doctrine of executive privilege as a critical tool dating 345 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 5: back to George Washington, effective presidential decision made. 346 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 2: And when I walk in that prison today, the. 347 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 5: Justice system, such as it is, will have done a 348 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 5: crippling blow to the constitutional separation of powers and executive privilege. 349 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 2: I think that's all true. And I also would add 350 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 2: this to the list of things Clay that are technically 351 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 2: crimes that nobody was prosecuted for that Democrats have resurrected 352 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 2: or used for the first time, to go the Logan Act, 353 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 2: remember to go after General Lynn, Foreign Agent Registration Act, 354 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 2: to go after Paul Maniford and others, and now contempt 355 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: of Congress laws that no one gets in trouble for Trump. 356 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: People get in trouble for well. 357 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: And we'll talk some with Carol Markowitz about this, but 358 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: this is what law fair leads to. And the one 359 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 1: positive I would say is if Trump wins, this thing 360 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: will blow up in Biden's face to such an extent 361 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 1: that I think, even from a political perspective, you won't 362 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: see someone try this again, maybe in any of our lifetimes. 363 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: Chalk's products made for one reason, and that's to increase 364 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: your energy.

I'm just show priorities, priorities. 385 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: I just want to make sure that since we're telling 386 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: everybody else to vote, I voted on Super Tuesday in 387 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: my home state of Tennessee. You now live in Florida. 388 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that you do your civic 389 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 1: beauty as well. And I would encourage all of you 390 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: out there across the entire country, as many of you 391 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: are voting today on March what is it, March nineteenth? 392 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 2: Am I right about that? 393 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: I think I'm right about that, And I would say 394 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: the biggest battle in terms of potential impact is Ohio, 395 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: where Ohio has to select the Senate candidate for Republican 396 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: primary that is going to be going head to head 397 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: with Serrod Brown. I want to play a cut of 398 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: this because for everybody out there who was focused on 399 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election, and we certainly for president, 400 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: are going to spend a great deal of time on this, 401 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: the place where Republicans are actually in the best shape 402 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: is actually to flip the United States Senate and take 403 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: back control there. Picking up a seed in West Virginia 404 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: is essentially a foregone conclusion, and this I thought was 405 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: interesting even over on MSNBC, Steve Kornaki was telling our 406 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: good friend, raging idiot propagandist Joe Scarborough that Democrats are 407 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: almost certain to lose the Senate in November. Here was 408 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: that cut Ohio could be a big part of it. 409 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 7: Listen, when Republicans take over West Virginia still put the 410 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 7: Democratic Party in a position where they have to win 411 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 7: one of those red states for them to maintain control 412 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 7: of the Senate. 413 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 3: Right now, Democrats have fifty one seats in the Senate. 414 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 3: If they lose West Virginia, they're immediately down to fifty. 415 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 3: And that if Donald Trump actually got elected and Democrats 416 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 3: were only at fifty, remember the tiebreaker then would be 417 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 3: Trump's vice president. So that alone would be enough with 418 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 3: a Trump victory for Republicans to get the Senate. But 419 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 3: if Biden gets re elected and Democrats lose West Virginia, 420 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 3: it still leaves the matter, as you say, of Montana 421 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 3: where John Tester's. 422 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: Up and Ohio. 423 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, and if they lose Montana, Democrats are then at 424 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 3: forty nine. 425 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: And even if Sharon Brown were to win Ohio, they're 426 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 2: still below fifty. 427 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: So this is a big deal because if you're out 428 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: there and you are worried about what's going to happen. 429 00:21:59,000 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: Trump v. Biden. 430 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: And there are a lot of states where Republicans could 431 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: trade control of the Senate. Pennsylvania is going to be 432 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: a battleground, Michigan's going to be a battleground, Ohio, Montana, Nevada, Arizona. 433 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: There are a lot of Democrat seats that are being defended. 434 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: And the only real two that they would even point 435 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: to and try to make an argument. Ted Cruz down 436 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 1: in Texas should win. 437 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 2: He'll win. We have faitheded, we have faith Abe. He 438 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 2: may be Attorney general. Cruise at some point people are 439 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: talking to the people. Some people are saying it's possible 440 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: Ted the best attorney general. It would be interesting to see. 441 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: And then down in Florida, Rick Scott is on the ballot, 442 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: he should win as well. But those are the only 443 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: two states that they could point to in twenty twenty 444 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 1: four with Republican senators where you could say, oh, we're 445 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: going to put those in play. Everywhere else pretty much 446 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: Democrats are on the defense right now. 447 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 2: So I think that's significant. 448 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 3: Now. 449 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: We mentioned as we went to break Buck the Vek 450 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: being ruled out as VP yesterday, we meant to play 451 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: this and we didn't. Mike Pence over the weekend, Trump's 452 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 1: former vice president said that he would not be endorsing 453 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. 454 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 2: Some of you were going to remember that we had 455 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 2: a test the interview. 456 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: On this program with Mike Pence, uh, and that Mike 457 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: Pence has since refused to come on the program. 458 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 2: Right, didn't we offer him the opportunity to come on again. 459 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: Remember in office space, when they are hitting the copy 460 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: machine with baseball bats and one of them has to 461 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 2: hold them back. Whatever felt a little bit like that 462 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: for me. You know, I was trying to let's try. 463 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: I tried to be nice because I'm still I think 464 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: all of you remember when I asked Pence if he 465 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: would consider pardoning Trump, and when he wouldn't answer that question. Basically, 466 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: it gave you a sense that he was not going 467 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: to endorse Trump either, that this is super personal, and 468 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: that frankly and just own it. 469 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: If he had said it at the time, I would 470 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: have respected it more. Well, that's that's the thing. You 471 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 2: can't say, Oh, I have to sort of see where 472 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 2: the facts lead or something. You were this guy's vice 473 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: president of the United States for four years, if you 474 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 2: have so much beef with him that you couldn't that 475 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 2: you would let him go to prison given all of this, 476 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 2: you'd let him be prosecuted by this obvious witch hunt. 477 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: Say that and and defend that position. Don't say, well, 478 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: I'd have to sort of see where things go. That 479 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 2: was the part of it where you know clearly. I mean, 480 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: I don't want to overstate it, but that was the 481 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: beginning of the end of the of the Pagan primary. 482 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 2: I think it ended it for Pennce that answer. 483 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 1: I think people would have respected him more if he 484 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: had said, you know, just flat out no. But now 485 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 1: that he's saying, oh, I won't even endorse Trump. This 486 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: was on NBC. I think listen to this guy. I 487 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: think this was Meet the Press, one of those shows. 488 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 2: Listen. 489 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 6: It should come as no surprise that I will not 490 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 6: be endorsing Donald Trump this year. As I have watched 491 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 6: his candidacy unfold, I've seen him walking away from our 492 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 6: commitment to confronting the national debt. I've seen him starting 493 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 6: to shy away from a commitment to the sanctity of 494 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 6: human life. And this last week is reversal. I'm getting 495 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 6: tough on China and supporting our administration's effort to force 496 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 6: a sale bite Dad's TikTok. In each of these cases, 497 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 6: Donald Trump is pursuing and articulating an agenda that is 498 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 6: at odds with the conservative agenda that we governed on 499 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 6: during our four years. And that's why I cannot in 500 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 6: good conscience endorse Donald Trump in this campaign. 501 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 2: First of all, he didn't govern. He didn't govern anything 502 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 2: right start with that we governed on. That was the 503 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 2: other part of it that would have struck me as 504 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: very disingenuous, kind of smarmy. His whole Well, the Pence bided, 505 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 2: I mean Pence Trump policy or Trump trump Pen's policy. 506 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 2: There we go. You can't talk about the Trump Pence 507 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: policy and then say, but I'd let him rot in prison. 508 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: I also, I'm sorry, you're not gonna endorse him. So 509 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? You're gonna have the communists 510 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 2: win because that's not the country. I just and this. 511 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 2: Some people get mad at me for saying this. 512 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: You gotta put your big boy pants on and recognize 513 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: what we're facing here. Joe Biden and many of his allies, 514 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: I believe, have created the most destructive presidency in any 515 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: of our lives now. Some of you are super old. 516 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: God bless you. You may have lived that respectfully. Yes, 517 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: you may have lived through a worst presidency. I was 518 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: born in nineteen seventy nine. The only first president I 519 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: remember is Ron O'reagan. I have not ever lived in 520 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: a worst president see than in my opinion, Joe Biden 521 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: right now, and he's incapable physically and mentally of doing 522 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: the job. If you are saying that you will not 523 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: vote for Trump, with all due respect, which means I 524 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: don't actually respect it, but I do think it's always 525 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: fun to say with all due respect right before you 526 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: toss out an insult. With all due respect, I think 527 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: you are behaving like a child. And I think Mike 528 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: Pence has behaved like a child for multiple years now. 529 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: I think his political career is over, and this little 530 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: throwing a fit. I'm not going to endorse him. I 531 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: don't know what the follow up was, but I don't 532 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: understand the point of endorsements. 533 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 2: I mean, Nicky Haley said the same thing. 534 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: He should have to compete for my voters, and and 535 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: I just endorsements are pretty overrated. 536 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: From again, look at that, but just. 537 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: Tell everybody who you're going to vote for more so 538 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: than endorsement, Like, is anybody changing their opinion because Mike 539 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: Pence is making a choice. 540 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 2: I guess Mike Pence is the I'm gonna take my 541 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 2: ball home so nobody can play in the playground. I 542 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: think he would probably say he won't vote for a 543 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 2: Democrat because he'd realize then he's gone full Scarborough, and 544 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,679 Speaker 2: you never want to go full Scarborough, where you are 545 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 2: a Republican who just flips teams and then pretends like 546 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 2: that's not what you've done. But he'll probably say that 547 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 2: he'll stay home, and it's it's a shame. But on 548 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: the happier note, rather more of a constructive look forward. 549 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 2: You've seen that some of the names being floated and 550 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 2: reporting for attorney General for a Trump presidency would be 551 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 2: Ted Cruz and Mike Lee. Mike Lee, who, by the way, 552 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: kind of agrees more with yours truly than a lot 553 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 2: of the consensus on TikTok. He's he's concerned something I've 554 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 2: been saying all along with the government can now just 555 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,959 Speaker 2: decide we don't like the part, you know, the partial 556 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 2: ownership of the company, that's you know what laws has 557 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 2: TikTok broken? It has broken no laws. 558 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: Let me go on the record by the way, too, 559 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: sorry to cut you off, but I would love both 560 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: of those guys. 561 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be credible ags and uh the other one. 562 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 2: Uh the other thing that I saw, well, we saw 563 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: some of the of the of the possible VP picks, 564 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 2: but also I saw Kevin McCarthy as chief of staff. 565 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: Did you see that that's floating around right now? Yeah, Tea, 566 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 2: the music just stopped for Clay there.

We talked about this on the program. 570 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: We were honest about it. 571 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 2: When when when the when the crowds were angry about 572 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 2: the Congress, we said, guys, uh, this is really Matt 573 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 2: Gates doesn't like Kevin McCarthy.

If 641 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: a right wing figure said what you just said, you know, 642 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 2: meaning you know, made that cur on same thing as 643 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 2: what Oberman said. Yeah, if a right wing figure said 644 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 2: the same thing that Olberman said about a Democrat president, 645 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: they would be saying because remember, they don't care and 646 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 2: this is such an important recognition. The right has had 647 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 2: some very important recognitions over the last decade or so, 648 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 2: and particularly it has accelerated under Donald Trump. There's no 649 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 2: such thing as a neutral space. That's one, there's no 650 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 2: neutral space in American public life. And another one is 651 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 2: they don't feel badly about two sets of rules. They 652 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 2: have two sets of rules because they can, and they 653 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 2: think that's the way it's supposed to be. Hypocrisy does 654 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 2: not bother the left. They are hypocrites. They embrace it. 655 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 2: It will take some calls as well. Here eight hundred 656 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,239 Speaker 2: two two two eight a two. Crime rates are up 657 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 2: in so many places across the country. And you may 658 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 2: have seen this crazy story, but it's true. There are 659 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 2: international burglary gangs now that are targeting people and actually 660 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 2: happen to someone I know.

But just a quick breaking news update. 692 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 2: This is from CNN. Fake news, but no, this is 693 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 2: probably true. The Supreme Court on Tuesday clear the way 694 00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 2: for Texas to immediately begin enforcing a controversial immigration law 695 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 2: that allows state officials to arrest and detain people they 696 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: suspect of entering the country illegally. The court's three liberals dissented. 697 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 2: Legal challenges to the law are ongoing at a federal's 698 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 2: appeal a federal appeals court, but the decision hands a 699 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 2: significant yet temporary win to Texas, which has been in 700 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 2: an ongoing battle with the Biden administration over immigration policy. Okay, 701 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 2: Isabelle Brown joins us now. She's a gen Z streamer 702 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 2: and author of the book The End of the Alphabet, 703 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 2: How gen Z Can Save America, comes out today. Isabelle, welcome. 704 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me. Can you do 705 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,799 Speaker 2: you want to react just to what's going on in 706 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 2: general with the border in Texas before we dive into 707 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 2: gen Z in the book and we had this breaking news. 708 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 2: It just for a lot of people seems like, shouldn't 709 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 2: states be able to help with the enforcement of federal 710 00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 2: immigration law. State law enforcement helps federal law enforcement on 711 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:53,280 Speaker 2: a whole range of issues. 712 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 4: Ah, yes, but you're thinking logically, which sadly is not 713 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 4: a virtue of our current White House or most people 714 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 4: sitting in But look, this is a huge win. I 715 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,800 Speaker 4: think there's been a lot said generationally about this issue, 716 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 4: particularly with the death of Lake and Riley a few 717 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 4: days ago that, of course, our president messed up during 718 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 4: the State of the Union address and has since apologized 719 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 4: to her murderer, but not acknowledged the death of her 720 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,480 Speaker 4: to her family, which is tragic, But I hope it 721 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 4: continues to spur the conversation for more wins like this 722 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 4: in Texas and the rest of the states bordering the South. 723 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: All right, Isabel, I have seen sorry Buck. Also, we've 724 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: seen your stuff on Instagram. It does really really well. 725 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: Your book is about how gen Z can save America. 726 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: A couple of questions here, tied together. How old are 727 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 1: gen Z people now? I think I've got two gen 728 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: Z members that I am in the process of raising 729 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,040 Speaker 1: right now, so you, obviously are are imagine the older 730 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 1: edge of gen Z and how does gen Z save America? 731 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 2: Why to kick this off? 732 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 4: Generally speaking, the consensus is that gen Z starts in 733 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 4: about nineteen ninety seven, the year that I was born, 734 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,360 Speaker 4: and goes all the way down to Americans born in 735 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 4: twenty twelve. So when we're talking about gen Z, we're 736 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,759 Speaker 4: looking at a huge group of seventy million Americans, from 737 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 4: pre teens to teenagers, to college students and now those 738 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 4: of us in our mid twenties starting to really navigate 739 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 4: the perils of adulthood. 740 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 2: Sadly, I've been. 741 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 4: Really frustrated, as a token voice for our generation in 742 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 4: politics and the media, hearing so many people older than 743 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 4: myself chastised gen Z as this dreaded group, the boogeyman 744 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 4: maybe who's destroying America before our eyes, when in reality 745 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 4: that's just not what's happening. I often hear that gen 746 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 4: Z is this overwhelmingly lazy, entitled, leftist, scream at the 747 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 4: sky socialist generation, But really, there are several national polls 748 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 4: and surveys proving that gen Z is the most conservative 749 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,399 Speaker 4: generation on an issue by issue basis since World War Two. 750 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 4: And that's exactly been my experience. But I see it 751 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,879 Speaker 4: anecdotally with friends, my siblings, and the community at large 752 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 4: as well. 753 00:38:55,719 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 2: But don't like twenty percent of gen Z identify as LBGTQ, 754 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 2: lbgtqia plus and the number of trends within that Isn't 755 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 2: that like an order of magnitude higher than it had 756 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 2: ever been before? Or am I misreading that data? No, 757 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,320 Speaker 2: You're absolutely correct. 758 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 4: There was even a crazier study that dropped a few 759 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 4: days ago saying thirty percent of gen Z women are 760 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 4: self identifying as LGBTQ plus. So I've been asked this often, 761 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 4: with the premise of my book being, wait, aren't you 762 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 4: guys really secretly conservative? These numbers are intentionally skewed to 763 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 4: artificially inflate and manufacture outrage over how much grab the 764 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,399 Speaker 4: pride community has with our generation. When you think about 765 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 4: that little plus sign at the end of LGBTQ, ELEMENTOP 766 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,479 Speaker 4: and every other alphabet known to man, that is really 767 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 4: what we need to focus on here when we see 768 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 4: these twenty thirty percent figures included in that plus sign 769 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 4: or identities like demi sexual. I don't know if you've 770 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 4: ever heard of that clay In book, but to be 771 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 4: demi sexual means to self identify as someone who's sexual 772 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 4: attracted to some people, but not all people, but especially 773 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 4: people that you have a romantic connection with, so literally 774 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 4: every human being in the history of the world. I 775 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 4: think this is a really intentional push to try to 776 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 4: make it seem like the Left is winning with our generation. 777 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 4: And there is certainly a cultural contagion happening, mostly with 778 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 4: young women, about this idea of changing your gender, the 779 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 4: exact same way that eating disorders and suicide clusters were 780 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,080 Speaker 4: happening in high schools in the nineteen nineties and early 781 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 4: two thousands. But I think it really is just that 782 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 4: it's a trend, it's a fad, it's a contagion, and 783 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,720 Speaker 4: we're starting to grow up and realize that the hollow 784 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 4: emptiness the Left has to offer it to us on 785 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 4: a silver platter really isn't the type of America we're 786 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 4: proud to call home. 787 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 2: All Right, I got a couple of things here. 788 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: One, I think the data reflects to Buck's points because 789 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,560 Speaker 1: I actually dove into this. A huge percentage of women 790 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 1: now identify is by because they think guys think that 791 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,480 Speaker 1: that is hotter, which a lot of guys do. So 792 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 1: I think partly that's a little bit manufactured. So I 793 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: think to to to your point Isabelle on this, but 794 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: second part, your videos often go viral, and I think 795 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 1: to your point about gen Z, I think what I 796 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: see with my kids and here in some of their 797 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: conversations is they're aware that they're being sold BS and 798 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: and a lot of this has to do with gender 799 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: related issues. 800 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 2: So I'm curious. 801 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,399 Speaker 1: I think you recently got married, if I'm if I'm 802 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,200 Speaker 1: not wrong, and you're on the upper edge as you 803 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: said of gen Z, do you see and hear a 804 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: lot of your girlfriends and a lot of the guys 805 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: as well, saying hey, you know this whole idea of 806 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: men and women not being different, that we've been sold 807 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,320 Speaker 1: from the get go here in this whole woke universe 808 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: and culture that a lot of it's just BS and 809 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: they're starting to see through it. 810 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 4: BS is the perfect characterization of what we're being fed 811 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 4: every single day. 812 00:41:58,560 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 2: You know. 813 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 4: It's kind of like when you watch add on social 814 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,720 Speaker 4: media and we watch TikTok for all of our news 815 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 4: these days in commentary, when you know something is a 816 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,319 Speaker 4: paid advertisement, our entire generation will scroll right past it. 817 00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 4: We won't even spend a full second watching the video 818 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 4: because we're tired of everything being so perfectly curated, edited, 819 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 4: this glossy version of what is supposed to be reality 820 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 4: but very clearly isn't. And with gender and gender ideology 821 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,760 Speaker 4: being maybe the most important cultural issue of our time, 822 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 4: the most fun, punk rock, rebellious way to stick it 823 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 4: to the people in power trying to sell us this 824 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,480 Speaker 4: manufactured version of happiness is to embrace your biological gender 825 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,439 Speaker 4: and gender roles.

Most are engaged summer, even starting to have children. 830 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:57,280 Speaker 4: Women everywhere despite politically polling very substantially with the Democrat Party, 831 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 4: although I would say there's a caveat to that. Most 832 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,160 Speaker 4: gen Zers are still in high school, so we still 833 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 4: have to wait for them to vote. They're starting to 834 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 4: wake up at least on the cultural side of things 835 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 4: that we feel very lied to by modern feminism. We're 836 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 4: tired of dating apps and trying to swipe left and 837 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 4: right for endless hookups that don't lead to anything meaningful. 838 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 4: We're tired of being told having children is going to 839 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,439 Speaker 4: be a sacrifice for our own careers, our own personal lives, 840 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 4: or maybe even the environment, because haven't you heard having 841 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 4: kids is apparently detrimental to AOC's green New deal, and 842 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 4: maybe even just the idea of being a woman itself. 843 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 4: So while we have men already overwhelmingly in gen Z 844 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:36,800 Speaker 4: defining themselves as conservative, a recent poll set over seventy 845 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 4: percent of high school senior boys identify as extremely conservative, 846 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 4: it's catching up that way for women too. And we 847 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 4: believe that politics is downstream from culture. That phrase coined 848 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,959 Speaker 4: by the late great Andrew Breitbart. I think that's only 849 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,000 Speaker 4: going to continue manifesting politically for young women as well. 850 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 2: So just real quick, because I mean, you know, every 851 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,759 Speaker 2: generation likes to give the rough stuff to the other 852 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 2: generations and to hear it. And this is all sounding 853 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 2: great to me because I came to this interview to 854 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 2: day I think. 855 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,440 Speaker 1: Is a curmudgeon by the way, if you don't know Buck, like, 856 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,640 Speaker 1: you're way too optimistic and positive for Buck here, so he's. 857 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 2: Gonna push them. That's all right. This is the the 858 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,440 Speaker 2: gen Z Communists seem to be running the show for 859 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 2: you guys. And I think the most glaring example of 860 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 2: this would be what's going on still on the college 861 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,880 Speaker 2: campuses and what we've seen, for example, with all the 862 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 2: pro Hamas stuff and the anti Aserel stuff on these campuses. Now, 863 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 2: maybe that's not indicative of what it is nationwide on campus, 864 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 2: but it's certainly a lot of them, the so called 865 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 2: elite schools. Yeah, you just said seventy percent of high 866 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 2: school seniors view themselves at mail. Sorry I should say 867 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,640 Speaker 2: seven separate high school high school males view themselves as conservative. 868 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 2: Do they all just abandon ship when they go to 869 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 2: college because they want a date with some purple haired communists? 870 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 2: Like what happened now? 871 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 4: I think mostly what we're seeing on college campus is 872 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 4: as absolutely outrageous as it is, is substantially toned down 873 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 4: onto a lot of what I experienced on campus. For example, 874 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,960 Speaker 4: I was at Colorado State University from two thousand and 875 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 4: fifteen all the way through twenty nineteen and then Georgetown 876 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 4: for graduate school for a year thereafter, right at the 877 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,800 Speaker 4: height of the rise of Antifa, when people were lighting 878 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,279 Speaker 4: UCLA on fire because Ben Shapiro went to go back 879 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,280 Speaker 4: and speak there in southern California. It was a really 880 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 4: crazy reality. But for every insane story of a pro 881 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 4: Palestine protest you might see at Harvard, I really like 882 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 4: to point people in the direction of social media to 883 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 4: expose the other side of things. Street preachers like a 884 00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,839 Speaker 4: guy named Cliff who goes viral on TikTok every single day. 885 00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,800 Speaker 4: Recently just held an event at Mississippi State University I believe, 886 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 4: I think it was Mississippi State, with over a thousand 887 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 4: students packed into. 888 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 2: A tiny lecture hall room. 889 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 4: They had to open up three other additional rooms to 890 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 4: let students hear about God, which absolutely follows national trends too. 891 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,799 Speaker 4: In twenty twenty one, less than a quarter of our 892 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 4: generation said that we believed in any higher power. By 893 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 4: the end of twenty twenty three, over a third of 894 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:02,760 Speaker 4: us proudly say that we believe in God. 895 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,240 Speaker 2: And when you break that down. 896 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 4: Denominationally, we're even seeking further tradition and structure than this 897 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 4: half In half out cultural washed Christianity that we've been 898 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,239 Speaker 4: living with for so long. Gen Z, for example, is 899 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 4: the most likely demographic in the American Catholic Church to 900 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 4: prefer the traditional Latin mass. 901 00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:21,320 Speaker 2: So these are real. 902 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,200 Speaker 4: Things that are happening, and of course they're not as 903 00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 4: flashy or sexy on a national news broadcast as a 904 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 4: bunch of students saying they want to blow up their 905 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 4: campus for Hamas, which does in fact happen. But that's 906 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 4: a very vocal minority that I think continues to cycle 907 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 4: this manufactured outrage that's keeping cable news going and in 908 00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 4: business in a time that they desperately need to keep 909 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,239 Speaker 4: as many eyes glued to the screen since we're all 910 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 4: watching TikTok videos and YouTube live streams to get our 911 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 4: news instead. 912 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 1: Okay, this is certainly last question for you. My kids 913 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 1: go into YouTube. That's where they get all their news 914 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 1: unless they're watching sports with me. They do not go 915 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: into traditional media. I bet there's moms and grandma's listening 916 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: to us right now that love you, and a lot 917 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 1: of dads and granddads too. How can they find you? 918 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: How can they share your content so maybe their grandkids 919 00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: will listen or their kids will listen to you more 920 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 1: than they would them. And also how can they get 921 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 1: the book? And this is now a trio of questions, 922 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 1: what should happen with TikTok? 923 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 3: Ban it? 924 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 1: Based on your understanding of the app? And how did 925 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 1: your content do there? 926 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,800 Speaker 4: I wish we had three hours to talk about TikTok, 927 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 4: but short answer, no, I think it would be a 928 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,360 Speaker 4: grave mistake to ban the platform. A lot of what 929 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 4: you're hearing about security and data concerns really is manufactured 930 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 4: to try to generate news headlines here. If they were 931 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 4: really serious about that, we'd be talking about every social 932 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 4: media platform and several other national security issues. But if 933 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,840 Speaker 4: I can say one last thing for why you should. 934 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 2: Grab a concay Isabelle. That analysis, which sounds like a 935 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,880 Speaker 2: very smart former CIA officer that I know, it was 936 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 2: incredibly astute, And I'm happy to hear someone Bug's argument 937 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 2: he's been making for some time, like a year now. 938 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,719 Speaker 2: I'm happy to hear at least one person from the 939 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,440 Speaker 2: purple haired communist general understands what's really going on. Oh, 940 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,440 Speaker 2: we're going to keep fighting for TikTok, surely. 941 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 4: But really, I wrote this book because now, more than 942 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,760 Speaker 4: ever before, when we've never been so divided and angry 943 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 4: and miserable and pessimistic about the future of our country. 944 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 4: I think it's time for us to return to our 945 00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,400 Speaker 4: roots of what it means to be an American and 946 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 4: what do I mean by that. The people who built 947 00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 4: the foundation of this country were not decrepit, falling apart, 948 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 4: completely senile old men that make up the entirety of 949 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,080 Speaker 4: the United States Congress and the White House today, which 950 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,240 Speaker 4: is probably why we feel so pessimistic our founding fathers 951 00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 4: on July fourth, seventeen seventy six, we're eighteen, nineteen, twenty 952 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:37,280 Speaker 4: one years old. Even Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration 953 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,520 Speaker 4: of Independence, was only thirty three years old on July fourth, 954 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,560 Speaker 4: seventeen seventy six. If we're serious about building a path 955 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 4: for our country that's based in objective truth, marriage, taking back, entrepreneurship, 956 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 4: and just the idea of freedom of expression, it has 957 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 4: to start with giving young people a seat at the table. 958 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 4: So if you're a gen Zer looking for hope, this 959 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,799 Speaker 4: book is for you. If you have a gen Zer 960 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 4: in your life that you're looking to inspire and encouraged 961 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 4: to continue making a difference in their community.
