But 34 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 3: that information goes public and he gets charged with one 35 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 3: count one dount to be four hundred five thousand, I mean, 36 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 3: for goodness sake, and you know we hear so much 37 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 3: about oh Elon Musk having access to sensitive information. Here 38 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: was a contractor hired by the Biden administration who came 39 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: in with the specific goal, accomplished that goal, and four 40 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 3: hundred and five thousand other people also had their information public. 41 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,399 Speaker 3: And it just I mean, it's the IRS the same 42 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 3: in what they you know, a dollars for eighty thousand 43 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 3: new people to come in there, and yet oh Elon 44 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: Musk can't have access to this information where he's actually 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 3: going to save taxpayers money. It's so ridiculous. You know, 46 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 3: this is the IRS though, this is big government. That's why, 47 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: you know, God blessed President Trump and in the Doze effort, 48 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 3: because I think they're they're highlighting how ridiculous some of 49 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 3: these things the government really does. 50 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 4: Congress and Jordan always appreciate you being with us. I'm sorry, 51 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 4: I just want to make sure that I'm getting this 52 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 4: right because this is one of these things where it 53 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 4: actually it feels a little mind blowing even given this 54 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 4: stuff we've seen from the government, as bad as a 55 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 4: lot of the bureaucracy stuff. Is four hundred thousand tax 56 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 4: returns were leaked? How do we know this? And will 57 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 4: most people be notified of this? 58 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: It just seems like, yeah, the IRS is not. 59 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 3: They are being notified, and you know that's the least 60 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 3: we can do. But remember this is the same IRS. 61 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: I mean, we just had Matt Tybe come and testify 62 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: again two weeks ago. And if you remember, back in 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: December of twenty twenty two, Matt Type does one of 64 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: the Twitter files, important Twitter file. The very day he 65 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 3: releases that Twitter file, which just happened to be December 66 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: twenty fourth, twenty twentieth Christmas Eve. That very day, the 67 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: IRS opens an investigation into his taxes. They opened that 68 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 3: very day, and then two and a half months later, 69 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: he's testifying in front of our committee. And while he's testifying, 70 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: while Democrats are asking him to reveal sources, while they're 71 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: saying he's a so called journalist, why they're attacking him, 72 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: the IRS was knocking on his door. So should we 73 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 3: be surprised that the Biden ir S is actually, you know, 74 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,839 Speaker 3: having somebody get inside there and release President Trump's tax 75 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: return and a bunch of one hundreds of thousands of 76 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: other American entities as well. This is how ridiculous. This 77 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: is why big government is bad, and what we're focused on. 78 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 3: What President Trump campaigned on to eaton Musson now implementing 79 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: it is so darn important. 80 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: Jim, I know there's a ton that you got, Clay. 81 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 3: I'm just by the way with Matt Tybee. The IRS 82 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: actually owed him money, you think, but they're trying to 83 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: intimidate him, and it turned out they owed him. You 84 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 3: can't make this stuff up, So anyway, I. 85 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: Think you know this, I mean, because you listen, Buck 86 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 2: is being audited right now. 87 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: I have been good times, good times, really fun. 88 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: I never was audited in my entire life until we 89 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: took over this show. Every one of my tax returns 90 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: since I started this show has been audited. 91 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: One of them. 92 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: Congressman the Irs told me I owed thirty nine dollars 93 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: and seventy five cents. I mean, I don't know who 94 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,119 Speaker 2: they've got thirty nine dollars and seventy five cents. 95 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: You're lucky dog didn't find you first, Clay. 96 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 2: That's I don't know who they got pouring through my 97 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: tax returns. But I don't know how many people have 98 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: ever gotten a back tax owed bill of thirty nine 99 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: dollars and seventy five cents. 100 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: But I did. Yeah, And so it's like you know this. 101 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: When you look and you've met Elon and you've had 102 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: the opportunity to interact with him. Can you believe that 103 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 2: Democrats have decided that the hill they want to die 104 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: on is being aggressive to try to cut waste and 105 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: spending is unacceptable. Some of this stuff I just can't 106 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 2: believe is a real argument. 107 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: No, I agree, and I caught you. I forget where 108 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: I saw you're doing an interview. You're making this point. No, 109 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 3: I mean, instead of helping us stop the stupid spending, 110 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 3: let's attack the guy who's exposing the stupid spending. Like, what, 111 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 3: that's your that's your political party. I mean, that's that's 112 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 3: the position you're gonna take and take that to the folks. 113 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: I get the privilege of representing in West central and 114 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: north central Ohio farmers and people who work in manufacturing 115 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: and the good regular families.

I don't get it. But if they 118 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: want to do that, God bless them, we will keep 119 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: We'll keep talking about the crazy things that their tax 120 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: money is being useful and working to stop it work 121 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 3: along with Elon Musk. 122 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 4: One of the most important things Congress and Jordan that 123 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 4: you are looking to do and to get other members 124 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 4: of Congress on board for so much of what we've 125 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 4: seen so far is obviously executive branch action. Stuff from 126 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: the White House, from the Oval Office, President Trump, from 127 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 4: Elon and others, you know, his cabinet, various cabinet secretaries. 128 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 4: We haven't been you know, it must be interesting, Congress 129 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 4: isn't getting beat up over all this stuff. 130 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: Right now. 131 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 4: Congress is sort of on the side. It's everyone's focused 132 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 4: on the executive branch. What do you want to see 133 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 4: the House do in order to assist in cleaning up 134 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 4: all the stuff that's going on here? I mean, what's 135 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 4: feasible and what's on the agenda? 136 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, first is reconciliation. I mean, we've got 137 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: a budget package that we're hoping to pass the day. 138 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 3: We're trying to round up the boats for that, but this, 139 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 3: this budget resolution would allow us to It sets the 140 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 3: stage for us to cut taxes, cut spending, help with 141 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: national defense, and secure the border, which you know, go figure, 142 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 3: that sounds like we're being repat publicans. It sounds like 143 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 3: we're doing what we told the boters we're going to do. 144 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 3: So that's that's where primary focus is in the in 145 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 3: the Congress right now is getting this package moving so 146 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 3: we can actually do via reconciliation, which is you know, 147 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: I'm sure you talk to your listeners many times, is 148 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 3: just a fancy word for you don't need sixty votes 149 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: in the Senate to do the things that you want 150 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: to do. When it relates to budgeting and spending. So 151 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: that's where we're we're really fopling. But we are going 152 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: to have to codify some of the stuff that that 153 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 3: Elon Musk is identifying. And understand there's been there's been 154 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 3: efforts over the years to do Citizens against Government Waste 155 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: and other final organizations have highlighted some of this stuff 156 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: over the years, the ear marks, the bridge to know 157 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 3: where sup of things that that money gets spent on, 158 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: But there's never been this kind of intensity and focus 159 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 3: and effort with the media attention on Elon Musk and 160 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 3: and President Trump campaigning on it and saying Elon is 161 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: going to be the guy who randos That is what 162 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 3: is new and I think dynamic and giving so much 163 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 3: attention to this, which is needed frankly when you look 164 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: at the trillion dollar deficits we're running and the thirty 165 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: six trillion dollars debt that's now piled up. So that's 166 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: that's where we got to pull it. At some point, 167 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: we're going to have to codify what he's what what 168 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: Elon is identifying in his team. But also we got 169 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 3: to get this reconciliation package done. 170 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: I mentioned Ohio State off the top. 171 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: Obviously the vice president Ohio State, Buck Eye Grad. 172 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: I know he was happy to see that win over 173 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. 174 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 2: You are also involved, in addition to a billion other 175 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: things going on NIL and college athletics. I think I 176 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: saw coming across the line a little bit earlier today 177 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: was that there's going to be a hearing surrounding that. 178 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: Am I right, where are we going? 179 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 2: For people out there who are big college sports fans, 180 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: what are you examining? 181 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 3: Well, we're actually doing something that typically doesn't happen all 182 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 3: that often on Capitol Hill. We're actually going to do 183 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: hear is what we're trying to get information. Whether it's 184 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 3: not some predetermined outcome that we wanted, some bill we 185 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 3: want to pass, or something decory we're trying to achieve. 186 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 3: We just want to We want everyone loves college sports. 187 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: We want them to be around. I watched the Oklahoma 188 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 3: State IOWA match on tape last night when the home late, 189 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 3: and we want we love college sports, and most people 190 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: it's football, basketball, but there's so many other sports. We 191 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 3: want to make sure they're all doing well. We met 192 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 3: with Charlie Baker, we met with and through some of 193 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: some of the work with U Clay We've met with 194 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: some of the commissioners from some of the big conferences. 195 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 3: So we're looking at do in some hearings and field 196 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: hearings where we talk to people involved in college athletics 197 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 3: and see we want to make sure this continues. It's 198 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: been such an amazing thing, and it's different from most 199 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 3: other countries where it's all club level, different kind of concept, 200 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: this idea that sports are good for students and student athletes. 201 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 3: That's why we have them in school, and when you 202 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 3: get to the top level Division one athletics, it's really 203 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 3: important to Americans. So we're going to have some of 204 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 3: these hearings where we bring in people. We're kind of 205 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 3: waiting for this House decision when it's finalized, so we 206 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: sort of know exactly what's there, but we're actually going 207 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: to solicit information. Imagine that Congress trying to get information 208 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: and figure out what's the best way to move forward 209 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 3: and should we move forward at all as as as 210 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 3: you know in Congress, or or do you just let 211 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 3: the marketplace work. So those are the questions we have 212 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 3: and we're trying to get answers to Congressman, have you. 213 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: Ever seen such a lack of gusto from your. 214 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 4: Counterparts on the Democrat side in the Congress. It is 215 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 4: a remarkable moment in American history. Right now, it's just 216 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 4: the deafening sound of crickets chirping as Trump is doing 217 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 4: all this stuff. There's not much happening from from them. 218 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 4: What where do you think that goes. Are they going 219 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 4: to just summertime decide that they're going to focus in 220 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 4: on healthcare for the midterms or something. 221 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: How does it work? 222 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, yeah, they're not. They're going to keep fighting. 223 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: The left is the left, and they don't like the 224 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: idea that we the people are in charge. I mean, 225 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 3: it's I would say, this is the fundamental Fight's what 226 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 3: you're seeing with with Musk. It's like, oh no, no, no, 227 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 3: it's the bureaucrats. It's the faucies of the world who 228 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: are supposed to run things, you know, the experts. It 229 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 3: can't be we the people, via the people we actually 230 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: elect into office. It can't be that model. That's the competition. 231 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 3: We don't want that. We want the bureau restor bunting. 232 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 3: So that's the fundamental fight. There's still going to be 233 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: the left, But you're right, the momentum is all, and 234 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,599 Speaker 3: the energy is all on President Trump's side of the 235 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: Republican side. And you see that with the fact that 236 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 3: every single person he is nominated, with the exception of 237 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 3: mister Gates, but every single one has been confirmed. And 238 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 3: now we have Dan Bondino gonna go help Cash, We've 239 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 3: got Pam Bondi, Todd Blantch coming into justice. I mean, 240 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: it's the team he has put together, good, sharp people 241 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: who understand they're supposed to be in those positions to 242 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 3: serve we the people. That's the attitude that was I 243 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 3: think reflective in the election, and that's the attitude you 244 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 3: see in these folks, and I'm excited about it all. 245 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: Jim, what shall we know about the time frame here 246 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: on bills getting passed? I know there's been a discussion 247 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: one bill, two bills, one big beautiful bill. What is 248 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: the current process I guess under which this is playing 249 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: out on Capitol Hill? And what should we know from 250 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: a time frame perspective based on what you know? 251 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 3: No good, good question. And you know I'm as I 252 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: fell along tactically, one built, two bill, ten bills. I 253 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 3: don't care. I just want to get done what we 254 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: said we're going to do. But the one bill approach 255 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 3: is the budget for creating that. That vehicle is supposed 256 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 3: to happen tonight. Now, the Speaker said, we may or 257 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 3: may not be able to get the vote tonight, but 258 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 3: I think we can. We're working on that, and then 259 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 3: the final package.

And I think the bill is an 283 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 3: appropriately named. So let's hope we can get it done tonight, 284 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 3: get that first step done later this season. 285 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 4: Fantastic Congress and Jim Jordan.

I feel sometimes a little bad for the 347 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 4: Babylon B because how can they satirize the level of 348 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: what is going on? 349 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: Right? 350 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: It is beyond parody. Uh inseminated. 351 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 4: So yeah, instead of a Mother's Day card, maybe in 352 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 4: Wisconsin now they can start to send around happy inseminated 353 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 4: person day. They they can't really think this is a 354 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 4: good idea, right, They can't really believe that we're gonna 355 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,239 Speaker 4: let them get away with being so crazy and not 356 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 4: drag them all over the place for this. 357 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 3: Right. 358 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we have a cut on this. We'll 359 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: play in a sec. 360 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: But buck, this is where I think a lot of 361 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 2: younger women are going to decline to follow the Democrat 362 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: Party down this crazy rabbit hole of gender that they're 363 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: going because they're not as afraid about abortion related issues 364 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: as they might have been a couple of years ago 365 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 2: when Roe v. Wade got overturned. Because by and large, 366 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: states have made their own decisions, and we haven't seen 367 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: some crazy new world. But here was Jessica Tarlov, the 368 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: resident liberal on the five, talking about this specifically from Wisconsin. 369 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: Listen, my experience as. 370 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 6: A liberal who has been inseminated of fo times is 371 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 6: that you're just making up problems that don't exist, and 372 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 6: there are real problems out there. There are reasons that 373 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 6: we don't use slurs, or that we try not to 374 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 6: use slurs against certain groups. But I would doubt that 375 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 6: there are more than five people who have ever complained 376 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 6: about something like this. 377 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: Or that. 378 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: I don't know the statistics on how. 379 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 6: Many trans men give birth per anim but I imagine 380 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 6: that it's pretty slim and that we would know about 381 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 6: it if there were more cases. 382 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: Uh, so this is all a smart take. 383 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: Also, Buck, I'll just say, inciminated person actually sounds super 384 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: misogyns Like, I can't believe I'm saying this, but it 385 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: sounds super misogynistic because you're only defining a woman by 386 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: something that a man did to her. 387 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: Am I crazy on this? 388 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 2: Like that seems like, hey, you're basically a receptacle for 389 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 2: male activities. It doesn't seem very empowering for women to 390 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 2: refer to them as inciminated people, right, like inciminated person, 391 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: it actually feels really insulting. 392 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 4: Well, not to get too technical, but also just because 393 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 4: you're an inseminated person doesn't mean you're a mom. 394 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: That's pretty technical. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, buddy, 395 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: for six. 396 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 2: Year olds out there burdens of these time buck sex 397 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 2: and just broke it all down. 398 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 4: So I didn't know that I was gonna step in 399 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 4: the front of that train that just happened. 400 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: Alright. 401 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 4: If you knew that different countries, you'll be buying massive 402 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 4: amounts of gold right now, you'd understand why the price 403 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 4: has continued to grow. We're not the only country experiencing inflation, 404 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 4: and foreign countries see the value of gold, as does 405 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 4: our own federal government. And times like these, the value 406 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 4: in owning gold as part of your portfolio only becomes 407 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 4: more important. Easy to own gold as part of your 408 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 4: savings account for four to one K or both. Birch 409 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 4: Gold can help you do that today. Value of gold 410 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 4: has increased substantially in recent years, especially in the past 411 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 4: twelve months time. I've been in a Western gold for 412 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 4: some years and just recently purchased more from the Birch 413 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 4: Gold Group. Birch Gold Group released a new study on 414 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 4: how gold will fare in the Trump era. Were they 415 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 4: forward by Donald Trump Junior? Go check it out. Text 416 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 4: my name buck to ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight. 417 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 4: Text my name Buck do ninety eight ninety eight ninety eight. 418 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: Today, I got a couple of things I want to 419 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 2: hit you guys with because they are actually very positive 420 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:31,719 Speaker 2: in nature. 421 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: We are not talking enough. And I'll take the blame 422 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: partly for. 423 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 2: This about one of the things that Donald Trump promised 424 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 2: he would do, and I mean media at large, not 425 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 2: just this show, that he promised he would do, and 426 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: he has essentially one hundred percent delivered on. This is 427 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: from the Washington Post. 428 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: Buck. 429 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 2: These numbers at the border are pretty unbelievable. There were 430 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: only fifteen thousand and seven hundred migrants encountered in the 431 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 2: entire thirty days the first month since Trump became president. 432 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 2: That's the lowest thirty day number on the border since 433 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 2: April of twenty seventeen. Remember, they have not yet passed 434 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: a bill. All Trump did was show up and sign 435 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: an executive order many of them, and boom, the border 436 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: is right back to being closed. Let me hit you 437 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 2: with this Encounters. This is according to the Washington Post, 438 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 2: So this is not the far right wing sourcing here. 439 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 2: This is the Washington Post. Encounters are down ninety four 440 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: percent from their high of two hundred and sixty three thousand, 441 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 2: nine hundred in December of twenty twenty three. They're down 442 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: ninety one percent for the average of the Biden calendar 443 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 2: four years, and they're down eighty percent from their average 444 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 2: of the last quarter century from two thousand to twenty 445 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 2: twenty four. Tom Homan Borders are will join us live 446 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 2: on the program tomorrow. But this was one of the 447 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: strongest promises that Donald Trump made on day one. I 448 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 2: will shut down our southern border. I will begin to 449 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 2: deport violent criminals. Promise made, promise kept. And you know, 450 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: the numbers are extraordinary because by and large, Buck, there's 451 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 2: zero discussion suddenly about the border. If Trump had fallen 452 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: apart on the border, they'd be talking about it a lot. Instead, 453 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 2: it's shut down on a level we've rarely seen in 454 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 2: the past twenty five years. 455 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 4: It also goes to show beyond any doubt that Democrats 456 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 4: were lying for a long time when they were saying 457 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 4: things like we need congressional action to do anything about this, 458 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 4: or when they tried to at the last minute, it 459 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 4: was so transparent, which is why the Republican in the 460 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 4: Senate who went along. 461 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: With it was just a useful idiot. 462 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 4: When they tried to pass that border security bill in 463 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 4: the election year, Oh yeahy, won't Republicans go with this 464 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 4: border security bill? 465 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: They must want more illegals. 466 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 4: You know, this is the person who has burned your 467 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: house down, running up with a pail of water as 468 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 4: it's smoldering, saying I'm here to help. I mean, the 469 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 4: whole thing was absolutely absurd. This is a law enforcement issue, 470 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 4: which means it's really an executive branch issue, which means 471 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 4: it's really a political will issue. These individuals are in 472 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 4: the country in violation of existing congressional statutes. They are 473 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 4: entering the country in violation of existing congressionally passed statutes. 474 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 4: So what you need is people to enforce those laws 475 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 4: and make sure there are consequences as part of that enforcement, 476 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 4: in this case, sending you back to the country that 477 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 4: is your actual country, and you don't just get to 478 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 4: skip the line and go around all the legal immigrants 479 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 4: into American and decide you're going to stay here and 480 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 4: get access to all the benefits of being on American soil. 481 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 4: So Trump is doing a fantastic job with this so far. 482 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 4: But I think it does add to the sense of 483 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 4: it should add to the sense of outrage that people 484 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 4: have that we had to suffer through ten million illegals 485 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 4: pouring into the country under Biden, they wanted that to happen. 486 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 4: This is the key difference, right Clay. It's not that 487 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 4: this was oh, you know, we tried and they just overwhelmed. 488 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 4: Then we couldn't know. The Democrats pretended that they didn't 489 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 4: want this to happen, while they made sure that it 490 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 4: was happening and did nothing to stop it. In fact, 491 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 4: they enabled it. It was a policy decision that they made. 492 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 4: It was not a natural design, and it wasn't a 493 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 4: hurricane that they were unprepared for or something. It was 494 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 4: we are made this situation what it is, which is 495 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 4: a lawless mess and really a sellout of the American 496 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 4: people and American sovereignty. 497 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: No doubt. 498 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: And now this is one thing we're gonna keep pointing out. 499 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: Congress does need to act because we need to take 500 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 2: away the presidential authority that Biden took advantage of to 501 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 2: allow the southern border to be wide open again. 502 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: So in order to ensure hopefully. 503 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: That this doesn't happen again, Congress needs to take an 504 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 2: action and this is part of the big beautiful bill 505 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 2: that hopefully would restrict the president's ability to act under 506 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: executive authority. But this is where Trump not only has 507 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: kept his promises, but he was accurate. He said, all 508 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: we have to do, and we'll talk about this with 509 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: Tom Homan tomorrow. All we have to do is re 510 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 2: implement the policies that we put in place last time, 511 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: and the southern border will cease being wide open for 512 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,479 Speaker 2: the entire world. Trump did it. Thirty days boom, southern 513 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 2: border is shut. And in fact, based on these numbers, 514 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 2: I think there's a good chance that there are fewer 515 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants in the country at all during the Trump 516 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: administration now than there was before. That is, we're not 517 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: allowing in a massive amount of illegals, and we're also 518 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: now sending violent illegals out. This may be the first 519 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: month since Joe Biden came into office where the number 520 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 2: of illegal immigrants in the United States has actually declined, 521 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: even if it's not as fast as people would want 522 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 2: the positive trend lines have flipped. 523 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 4: I think that this is also part of a reorientation 524 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 4: of the thinking of the majority of the American people, 525 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 4: Like I can't speak to the insane, you know, I 526 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 4: can't speak to the people who are like, we need 527 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 4: to change the law for inseminated person instead of mom like, 528 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 4: we're never gonna you can't. You can't fix that, Okay, 529 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 4: But for we're at solid majority issues here. Sixty percent 530 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 4: of the American people approve of the deportations that Trump 531 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 4: is doing, six zero sixty percent. And I think if 532 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 4: they knew more details about who these people are and 533 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 4: what's really been going on, the number would be more 534 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 4: like seventy seventy five percent. 535 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 3: Uh. 536 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 4: And that now you're just getting to the hardcore open 537 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 4: borders left, right, twenty twenty five percent of the country 538 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 4: is nuts. We can't do anything about that. But really, 539 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 4: twenty percent of any country is going to be kind 540 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 4: of a little bit nutty on politics. I think that's 541 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 4: fair to say. And you know, I think there's a 542 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 4: just a contingent of any society. It's going to be 543 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 4: kind of crazy. But here's the thing, Clay, They're changing 544 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 4: our perception of what is possible. Yes, you know, yes 545 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 4: Trump has this win. But if Trump is doing this, 546 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 4: future administrations as well will have to contend with the 547 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 4: fact that if all of a sudden the border gets 548 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 4: kicked wide open again, they can't play the oh we're overwhelmed. 549 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 4: We just need more we just need more immigration judges. 550 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 4: We just need more order patrol to welcome people into 551 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 4: the country who have come here illegally. Right, that's changed 552 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 4: the same way that does and the budget stuff and 553 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 4: the government waste fraud and abuse cutting is changing our 554 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 4: perception of whether we can actually tackle government spending, government growth. Right, 555 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 4: you can't fix this all at once, but when you 556 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 4: can do something about it, you then have the proof 557 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 4: that you can do more going forward. So I think 558 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 4: that there's a mentality shift here that Trump is created 559 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 4: so much of. 560 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: Success in life. And I don't want to hop on 561 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: my ted talk here, but is belief that you can 562 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 2: achieve success what is actually possible in all facets of life. 563 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: And I do think what Elon Musk has expanded, I 564 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 2: would say this is maybe his biggest achievement in general 565 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: as a capitalist buck. A lot of people thought he 566 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 2: was crazy when he said, hey, I'm going to do 567 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 2: electric vehicles. A lot of people thought he was crazy 568 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: when he said, Hey, I'm going to send rocket ships 569 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: to space better than NASA does it. A lot of 570 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 2: people thought he was crazy when he bought Twitter, when 571 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 2: he started Xai, and so far all of these decisions 572 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 2: that he has made appear to be working, not only working, 573 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 2: but occurring incredible in terms of their ability to alter 574 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 2: expectation and projection of what is even capable in the 575 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 2: United States.

This is not like a text message 620 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: with your friends.

And I don't know 632 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 4: what it is that they're talking about. I just know 633 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 4: that it's not something you should be talking about at work. 634 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and maybe this is because I don't 635 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: know that I've talked about this. I used to do 636 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 2: HR investigations as a warrior. 637 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: I would come in and just take a step back 638 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: for a second.

So what you 647 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 2: put in your work email is around forever.

I mean, there are good 678 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 4: people in these agencies. The percentages we still have to 679 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,240 Speaker 4: figure that out. But they to what you're saying about 680 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,640 Speaker 4: how they never fear firing for being bad at their jobs, know, 681 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 4: for saying something that offends the woke gods for saying 682 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 4: something that is not DEI approved. Oh, you could get 683 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 4: in a lot of trouble for that, and that now 684 00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 4: finally may be changing. 685 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 2: We'll talk about We'll see if we get rufo on, 686 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 2: but we'll talk about how crazy this is in general. 687 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt is giving a press conference right now, Buck, 688 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 2: I also sent in some clips from her in this 689 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 2: third hour. There's going to be a major fit throne 690 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 2: because she is saying, instead of the White House Correspondence 691 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 2: Association controlling who gets access to ask questions, the Trump 692 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 2: white House now is going to make more and more 693 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 2: decisions about who has access to the briefings. 694 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 1: This is going to turn into a big deal. I'm 695 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: just telling all of you. The AP has already. 696 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 2: Filed a lawsuit saying their First Amendment rights are being 697 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 2: restricted by not being granted access. Let me tell you something, 698 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 2: that argument is not going to win. Because I went 699 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 2: through a lot of this when I started out kick 700 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 2: We mentioned this a little bit, Buck, I had to 701 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 2: fight really hard to get access to public events, the conferences, 702 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 2: the leagues. They have a lot of troll over who 703 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 2: can sit in their press boxes and who can come 704 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 2: to their press conferences. Clay, this is true throughout so 705 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 2: much of the government, and I think it's it's interesting 706 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 2: that now Democrats have a problem with this. When Trump 707 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,320 Speaker 2: was in office, and this is when I made three 708 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 2: of my three of my visits to the border and 709 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 2: different places, it was border patrol. What do you want 710 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 2: to see? What transparency do you need? Who can we 711 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 2: have you talk to? We'll do We'll do anything that 712 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 2: helps you get the truth about the border out to 713 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 2: the American people. 714 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: Right. 715 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,320 Speaker 4: Biden comes into office and my contacts down there, with 716 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 4: the exception of border patrol Union, but contacts are like, look, 717 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 4: we can't talk to you. 718 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 1: What do you mean you can't. I'm an American, I'm 719 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: in media. We can't. Now they'll talk to you offline. 720 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 4: But I'm saying, officially speaking, all of a sudden, everyone 721 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,040 Speaker 4: scared for their jobs. So yeah, why should why should 722 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 4: regime media of the Biden era be given preference over 723 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 4: media that, by the way, has bigger audiences on the 724 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 4: right in general. Anyway, in what world should CNN get 725 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 4: preference over you know, Daily Caller. 726 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,720 Speaker 1: I don't see why that should be the case. 727 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 2: I agree, and I expect that it's going to turn 728 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 2: into a big battle again. There's a difference between not 729 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:20,800 Speaker 2: giving full access and restricting what somebody can say. Government 730 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 2: obviously shouldn't be in the business of restricting what someone 731 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,759 Speaker 2: can say, but they can totally decide who gets to 732 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 2: get on Air Force one, who gets to be in 733 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 2: a press briefing, and that is a battle that media 734 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 2: has been fighting for all time. Who gets access, who's 735 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 2: able to ask questions that isn't that's a privilege, that's 736 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 2: not something associated with the First Amendment. And the AP 737 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 2: just got slapped down even by left wing judges over this, 738 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 2: so that's going to continue to be an issue. We'll 739 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 2: play some audio of Caroline Levitt laying it out all 740 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,000 Speaker 2: that more last hour, playing Buck next, Keep Hanging. 741 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: With Us 742 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 6: Eight
