Welcome everybody, Thursday edition of Clay and Bark. 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 2: Much to discuss. 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: Obviously, the debate happened last night and it was a 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: good spectacle, I will say Clay and I watched it 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: here together with our wives in South Florida. We decided 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 1: to go for flip flops and pj's. We were got 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: at the act, which was the right call. After a 9 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: big day yesterday, big day at mar A Lago yesterday 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: with number forty five former President Trump. We had such 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: a such a good time with President and look, I 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: really we enjoyed talking to him. One of our favorite 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: moments was after we've been there and he's some of you. 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure I've met him at different, you know, events, 15 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: and he obviously spends a lot of time going around 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: shaking hands, talking to people out on the campaign trail. 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: But we we thought we'd had a great day at 18 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: mar A Lago and then we're told wait a second, 19 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: hold on, hold on you guys, before you go, the 20 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: president has ordered you and your wives milkshakes. Yes, and 21 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: we just we sat there for a second, said well, 22 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: when the former president orders you a milkshake at his pub, 23 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: like you wait for the milkshake, So I will say 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: though my only disappointment he went to Vanilla. 25 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: I would have gone chocolate vanilla milkshakes now here. 26 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: My wife said, you guys should have mentioned this is 27 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: the only thing that we didn't, just kind of set 28 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: the scene for the interview stamina. Obviously, Buck is a 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: big discussion. Assuming it's going to be Trump v. 30 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: Biden. 31 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: Really, anybody be Biden if he's going to be the nominee. 32 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: Trump literally walked in from playing eighteen holes of golf 33 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: zero prep. There was a there was nobody there like, sir, 34 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: here's your notes. You have to know this, like nothing 35 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: about like what questions are going to be asked? 36 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: Anything. Sits down when we've already started. 37 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: The third hour of the show goes the entire hour 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: obviously with us. And and this is not that people 39 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: see this, obviously he's not on video, but during every 40 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: commercial break, interacting with our wives, interacting with the staff 41 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: that's putting on the show. I think this is really 42 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: important because we mentioned it, but Biden legitimately could not 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 1: have done by Biden couldn't go play golf and sit 44 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: down and talk to us for an hour. 45 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 2: Buck. 46 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: If he was going to sit down and talk to 47 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: us for an hour, he would show up with twenty advisors. 48 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 2: They would tell us. 49 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: What we could and could not ask, and he wouldn't 50 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: be able to do more than like ten minutes. Trump 51 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: Trump came rolling in the right off the golf cart 52 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: and sat down and was just being he was in 53 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: Trump mode. And I think he's one thing that I'll 54 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: say about this. Look, there's just at the scene for 55 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: today everybody. There was a lot of really interesting exchanges. 56 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: Whether you watch the debate or not, I'll just tell 57 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: you as pure political spectacle, it was interesting. It was 58 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: the best debate of the debate so fared out. Donald 59 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: Trump is you know, he did his high laya event. 60 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to see much change in 61 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: the numbers from the So it's not about that. Maybe 62 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: some movement among the second tier, but there's really two tiers. 63 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: There's Trump in one tier and there's everybody else in 64 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: the other tier. But it was interesting. We made a 65 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: little bit of a prediction, which was that Nicky Haley 66 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: and Viveke Ramaswami, we're gonna, yeah, We're gonna go after 67 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: each other, and that was well, we'll remind if some 68 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: of you saw it, I'm sure a lot of you didn't, 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: we'll we'll tell you all about it. 70 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: We'll play some of those sound bites for you, because it. 71 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: Got personal last that on that stage, those two were 72 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: and we actually watched as well to see after the 73 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: debate when they went around to shake hands, Chris Christy 74 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: got a handshake from Vivike. I did not see a 75 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley. Clearly and Nicky Haley do not like each other. Yes, 76 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: I think that is real. I don't think that's just manufactured. 77 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: There is a genuine disdain there. And if you watched 78 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: in the post, I always like to see. Remember, we 79 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: had Carol Markowitz on after I think the debate out 80 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: in California and just said, hey, what's the vide during 81 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: the commercial breaks, who's talking, who's shaking hands? How much 82 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: interaction movement are we at actually seeing? And right when 83 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: the debate ended, Vivek shook everybody else's hand on the stage, 84 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: gave the blowblock blowby to Nicki Haley. She made no 85 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: effort to interact with him at all, and they kept 86 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: the camera running. On NBC and I think we need 87 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: to discuss what might be going on there because I 88 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: think that is super interesting in terms of the dynamics 89 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: going forward, and I just to continue with that thought. 90 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: There's also but there's some We're gonna get to some 91 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: more news, breaking news out of Israel for you here 92 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: in just a little bit. They've agreed to a four 93 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: hour pause in fighting them seeing to let Hamas hostages out. 94 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: Biden says no long term Gaza cease fire though, so 95 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: we'll dive into that a little bit more. But that's 96 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: just some breaking news that I'm just seeing here as 97 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: we start the show, So we will get back to that. 98 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to say though, because we were with Trump 99 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: last night. I'm sorry yesterday during the day and then 100 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: last night he was in Hialia for a guy who 101 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: was facing and we said this to him. We said 102 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: this himup camera for a guy who is facing what 103 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: he is facing a civil trial in New York, the 104 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: four Criminal Trials outstanding the idea that they would like 105 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 1: to if they could certainly destroy his reputation, convict him 106 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: as a felon, and who knows, maybe they even do 107 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: believe somehow they could get him in a prison cell. 108 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: And uh, he's ready for the fight. Man. 109 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: His attitude, his attitude is incredible for somebody who faces 110 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: what he faces right now. He seemed very relaxed. Yeah, 111 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: And I think in many ways he's compartmentalized what they're doing. 112 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: And I think the reality is that he's benefiting from it, 113 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: and I think he recognizes that he's benefiting it from it. 114 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: Publicly in terms of the political standing, he is right 115 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: now the favorite to me buck coming out of debate three. 116 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: And we should say, if you want to react to 117 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: the debate, if you want to react to our interview 118 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump yesterday eight hundred two eight two two 119 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: eight eight two, to me, the biggest takeaway, and we're 120 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: gonna play some of these cuts because I know some 121 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: of you are busy you didn't watch it. I thought 122 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: NBC did a really good job. The questions were for 123 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: the most part, very well thought out. They gave candidates 124 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: times to answer. There was not the super woke posturing 125 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: that we saw from the Univision employee. And you could 126 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: understand all of the anchors very clearly, which does help. 127 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: It helps when the English spoken is very clear. Yes, 128 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: But the biggest takeaway to me Buck, and I'm curious 129 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: what your single biggest takeaway. Tim Scott and Chris Christy 130 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: are are nice guys. They don't belong on the stage anymore. 131 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: It is It is a The second tier is a 132 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: three person yes contest. Now that that's by the time 133 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: we get to Tuscaloosa next month, it should only be 134 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: veik Ramaswami, Nicky Hayley, and Ron I think that'll actually 135 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: be some fireworks. I think that'll be an interesting debate. 136 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: It helps the debate the fewer people who are on 137 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: the stage well, and which you have, you know, some 138 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: of these dynamics that were playing out. Remember, last night 139 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: was an national security focused debate. The first hour, certainly 140 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: the first thirty forty minutes was heavily on the issues 141 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: of what to do about Ukraine and what to do 142 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: about the Israel Hamas war that's ongoing right now, US 143 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: military funding all of that, A lot of discussion of 144 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: how much money we're going to spend to fund foreign militaries, 145 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: which was also I think interesting and worth taking a 146 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: step back from and wondering if the GOP really thinks 147 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: through all those implications. But let's start with just because 148 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: we could start the fireworks and get into the policy. 149 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: What do you say this was because vivec I find 150 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: that on based on my own sort of personal conversations 151 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: with people and then what I see online. I think 152 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: Vivek is the most polarizing of the non Trump can. 153 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: I think that's actually like, I know a lot of 154 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: people that like that, that are they're all in on Trump. 155 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: But they'll say to me, like, I think DeSantis is 156 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: a super sharp guy and a great governor or or 157 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, they'll say, you know, they don't They're okay 158 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: with you know, they think Nikki Haley is a smart 159 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: lady and you know whatever. Like there, they tend to 160 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: they tend to have other people with vivic I. I 161 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: come across people who love the guy and people who 162 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: really do not like him. You know, he's some And 163 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: I bring it up just because if that's the perception 164 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: that's out there in the general population. Nicki Haley is 165 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: definitely not a loves the guy. First, Yes she is not. 166 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: This is this is where things got particularly he did 167 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: last night. We want to start with this and like 168 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: I said, we will get into some of the policy 169 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: and everything else, but I want you to listen for 170 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: the word she uses to describe him. She kind of 171 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: just threw it in here, Plake, this has cut three. 172 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: Nicki Haley to Vivake. 173 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: I want to laugh at why Nicki Haley didn't answer 174 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,439 Speaker 3: your question, which is about looking at families in the eye. 175 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 3: In the last debate, she made fun of me for 176 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using 177 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 3: the app for a long time. So you might want 178 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: to take care of your family first. The next generation 179 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 3: of Americans are using it, and that's actually the point. 180 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: You have her support cropping her up. That's fine, here's 181 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: the truth. Here's the easy answer. You're just scum. 182 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: She throws in there over the mic at the debate 183 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: over a TikTok question, which I didn't think this would 184 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: get so heated. So this, to me was the moment 185 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: that everybody is going to be reacting to. And I 186 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: haven't watched television, but I would imagine the drama of 187 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: that interchange is dominating discussion. So first question, I think 188 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: a lot of you out there are analyzing. She's basically 189 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: Nikki Haley saying, don't talk about my daughter. Vi theg 190 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: talked about her adult daughter being on TikTok. I think 191 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: that's fair game, do you. I mean I say that 192 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: as a parent. Well, see for people like if it 193 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: were a fourteen or fifteen year old, I would say, yeah, 194 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: you shouldn't really bring family in. But the veke on 195 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: TikTok and his own competitor's daughter, who's I believe twenty 196 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: three and married. 197 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,479 Speaker 2: Now yeah, yeah, yeah. 198 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: Look, as you know, as this audience knows, I'm a 199 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: little bit out on an island here when it comes 200 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: to TikTok because I've just learned so many neat tricks 201 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: you love for cooking my steaks perfectly, and. 202 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: I like, I'm just gonna tell you it is. 203 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: It is super addictive, and you know, it gives me 204 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: a lot of tactical tips for being out on the range. 205 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: Like there's some great TikTok accounts out there, and people say, oh, well, 206 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: China's gonna get China. I am more worried about Google 207 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: right now, and I think it's so interesting. People like, well, 208 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: why are the YouTube is fine? And I'm like, why 209 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: is YouTube fine? YouTube won't post our interview with Trump? Yeah, 210 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: they want to take They wanted to take your kids 211 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: away from you if you wouldn't get the vacs. I mean, 212 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: these people are out of their minds or if you won't, 213 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: you know, gender affirm that they're a different gender twelve. 214 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: Uh So anyway, that that's a little bit of my 215 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: I have a heretical take, I. 216 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: Guess for the GOP on this one, is it fair 217 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: game to your question, Clay, I. 218 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: Mean, I don't know if you bring in like someone's 219 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: family necessarily in that in that context, but I will 220 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: tell you this to say, you're just scummed. 221 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's that's a that's a wow moment. 222 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: If I were ranking it to me e Vivek saying 223 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: you're a because he says your adult daughter, if he 224 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: had said your fourteen year old is on t that's fair. 225 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: It's if we're talking about somebody who's not not an adult. 226 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: You know, you're fourteen, fifteen year old. 227 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: And you bring that person even college kids, she's I 228 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: believe the daughter is out of college, she is married 229 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: now she's an adult. The answer that I thought would 230 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: have been way better for Nicki Haley on TikTok and 231 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: I thought this in real time. Then I was talking 232 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: about it with my own daughter, my own daughter. I 233 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: don't have a daughter, my own wife about our kids. 234 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: I don't have a daughter that I know of. Hopefully 235 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: I got out there and I said, look, every parent 236 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: and every grandparent young kids do things that you disagree with. 237 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: So I actually think Nicki Haley could have answered that 238 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: really well and said, yeah, you know what, I don't 239 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 1: think that my teenagers should have been on TikTok. 240 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 2: I wish i'd kept them off social media. 241 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: I have regrets as a parent about some of the 242 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: choices my kids made, but guess what my own parents 243 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: had regrets about some of the choices I made too. 244 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: That's how parenting works. You think you can protect your 245 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: kids from making poor choices and you can't. To me, 246 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: that's way better of a response than calling him scum, 247 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: because to me, it goes and my wife, And I'm 248 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: curious what Carrie said afterwards. My wife said. The way 249 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: I take it is Nicky Haley knows way more about 250 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: the vaik Ramaswami. That wasn't about him saying something about 251 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: her daughter. It was that she genuinely detested him already, 252 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: and it was like the straw that broke the camel's back, 253 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: so to speak in terms of like. But that means 254 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: she got her emotions wrapped up in it a little bit, 255 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: and I'm curious how that plays. But last time I 256 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: thought when she said, I you know something, we played 257 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: it for you guys every time, every time you speak, 258 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: and I get dumber. Nikki Haley said, I thought that 259 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: was a little too harsh under the circumstances. And she actually, 260 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: you saw some movement for her odderge in the polls. 261 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 1: So this time around, you know, maybe people like that 262 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: she was getting a little feisty on the stage. Look there, 263 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: I'll say this about it and we can get back 264 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: into some takes. So I also want to hear from 265 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: some of you, by the way, if you have I 266 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: want to know this, if you have a really pro 267 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: or anti Nicki or Vivet take, that's what we want 268 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: hear people who are really fired off one way or 269 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: the other about the Nicki Vivek throwed out. 270 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 2: I'm kind of curious to hear that. 271 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: And I would just say this to me, Rona Santis 272 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 1: was ron right, competent, good answers, memorable, not really memorable. 273 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: But you know you're comparing it to you know, you're 274 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 1: not gonna if you're doing William F. Fuckley, sit down, 275 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: You're not gonna do you know, You're not gonna be 276 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: the same as Jerry Springer. Right, Things got a little 277 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: testy on that stand, and he's directly between them, so 278 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of an awkward dynamic where they're yelling back 279 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: over him. It's like if you've ever been on an 280 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: airplane where two people are yelling at each other and 281 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: you're in the middle seat, you're kind of like, hey, 282 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: what do I do here? I mean, he came across 283 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: I think a little bit as as adult in the room. 284 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: Because of that. He wasn't getting into the mix on 285 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. His answers were, he's he's always solid. But 286 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: I didn't see a breakout, right, I didn't see I 287 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: didn't see a ron moment where I thought, oh man, 288 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: everyone's gonna remember that. So now maybe that's just sort 289 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: of status quo for him, and he's looking at iowah 290 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: and he's saying everything will be fine. The vacant Nikki though, 291 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: clearly that was the dynamic and we should take some 292 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: calls on it. And also the Vey had another moment 293 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: some people thought was his best of the night, going 294 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: after the moderators. I actually like that. We'll talk about 295 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: that when we come back. And also I said that 296 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: I think Tim Scott and Chris Christy need to drop out. 297 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: I didn't think they were bad. I thought they were fine. 298 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: They just haven't had their moment where they demonstrated that 299 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: they're capable of really kind of surge. 300 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: Can I just get a quick thought on Christy? Christy 301 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 2: is sort of turned into like guys like the dawns 302 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 2: in the room. 303 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm just here to a mote and like I feel 304 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: your family struggles and everything, and like, yeah, that's all fine, 305 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: but like what about the guys like hey, like those 306 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: goons who run the teachers' unions, Like I'm gonna teach 307 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: them a thing or two. Like he used to be 308 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: a brawler, he's not really a brawler though. I think 309 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: that's accurate. I mean, he definitely and I don't know 310 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: if that's a strategic choice. He's also aged teen years 311 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: older than he was probably when he was throwing not 312 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: trying to you know, throwing the weight around as a phrase, so, 313 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: but when he was really kind of, as you said, 314 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: a brawler bombastic. Maybe because Trump has so occupied that 315 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: lane that he's decided that he needs a new lane, 316 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: or again, maybe he's just aged and feels like he 317 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: is more of an adult in the room. I don't know, 318 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: but I think we're gonna get some great calls. And 319 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: I want to play that the weight going after the 320 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: media right at the start, because I think that was 321 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: a tone cetter for him. When our men and women 322 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: in our military retire from service and rejoin the private sector, 323 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: it's often a tough transition. Many of our veterans take 324 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: on debt in the process. One company has stepped up 325 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: to help them, Pure Talk. They're donating a portion of 326 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: their revenues for new customers. Their goal is to raise 327 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: ten million dollars to retire veteran debt leading up to 328 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: Veterans Day this Saturday, and they're close more than ninety 329 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: five percent of the way there. Make the switch to 330 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: pure Talk yourself. Participate in this nationwide effort to help veterans. 331 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: You sacrifice nothing.

Now we mentioned the debate 360 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: last night. I wanted to hit these two cuts because Buck, 361 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: you and I watched this debate together. 362 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 2: With our wives last night. I actually missed. 363 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: Everybody reacted to the veak Ramaswami saying that Nicki Haley 364 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: was basically Dick Cheney in three inch heels, which I 365 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: thought was the insult. He actually was making fun of 366 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis because the Trump campaign has said that DeSantis 367 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: wears lifts too to try to make himself taller, which 368 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: is a ridiculous story. Welcome to politics, but listen to 369 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: this vague line. And then we were referencing Nikki Tayley's response, 370 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: which didn't come for a while, but also didn't land 371 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: necessarily as effectively as I think she wanted. 372 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: But here's the vagues attack. 373 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: Corrupt politicians in both parties spent trillions, killed millions, made 374 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 3: billions for themselves in places like Iraq and Afghanistan fighting 375 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 3: wars that set thousands of our sons. 376 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: And daughters, people my age to die in wars that did. 377 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 3: Not advance anyone's interests adding seven trillion dollars to our 378 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 3: national debt. You have the likes of Nikki Haley, who 379 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 3: stepped down from her time at the UN bankrupt or 380 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,719 Speaker 3: in debt was her family. Then she becomes a military contractor, 381 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 3: she joins the board of Boeing and otherwise, and is 382 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 3: now a multi millionaire. So I think that that's wrong 383 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 3: when Republicans do it, our Democrats do it. 384 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: That's the choice we face. 385 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 3: Do you want a leader from a different generation who's 386 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 3: going to put this country first? 387 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 2: Or do you want Dick Cheney in three inch heels. 388 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 2: Misters got two of them constantions. 389 00:18:55,160 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so the reaction, Yeah, the reaction started because he says, 390 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: in which case, we've got two of them on the stage. 391 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: Now Lester Holt steps in there. I would like I 392 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: think it would be fun. I bet you would enjoy 393 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: it too. I think it would be fun to moderate 394 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: a debate. My number one rule would be steer towards conflict. 395 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: So right there. A lot of times I think buck 396 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: that these debate moderators have their topics laid out and 397 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: they are going to go to them no matter what 398 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: the answers are. It's almost like they've got a checklist. 399 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: So Lester Holt didn't immediately go to Nicky Haley, and 400 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: even the way he cut off cut away from that line, 401 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: which was designed to be an attack at DeSantis, I 402 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: didn't even realize it. I texted you, you know, an 403 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: hour after the debate when that video clip was shared. 404 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: Here was Nicky Haley's response that came probably seven or 405 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: eight minutes later. 406 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 4: Kevin Hackley, would you please answer that? 407 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 5: Yes, I'd first like to say they're five inch shields 408 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 5: and I don't wear them unless you can run in them. 409 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 2: We've got two of you on stol. 410 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 5: Say is I wear heels or not? For a fashion statement? 411 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 5: There for ammunition? 412 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: The first one word, well, the second one fell flat. 413 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: Now you can tell that this is the story of 414 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: last night's debate, was these two going back and forth, 415 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: but on the policy side of it. 416 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 2: For a second. 417 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: Here actually, because we mentioned some people have been saying, 418 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: why is Buck asking the just rage question about. 419 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: About the navy? How many ships in the navy? 420 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: Here is Hugh Hewitt, who was the conservative representative of 421 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: the moderators. 422 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 2: He's a radio host. Listen to what he says, play 423 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: twenty seven. 424 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 4: For decades and decades, the American military, but primarily the 425 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 4: United States Navy, has deterred an attack from China to 426 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 4: the island state of Taiwan. That Ronald Reagan's navy of 427 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 4: six hundred ships is gone. Now the question to you is, 428 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 4: and I'll start with the ambassador Haley, because you were 429 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 4: in President Trump's cabinet. His goal was a three hundred 430 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 4: and fifty five ship navy. That's what he pushed for. 431 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 4: He got the three hundred. It's now at two hundred 432 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 4: and ninety one. Is that big enough to deter and 433 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 4: if necessary, defeat an invasion of Taiwan? 434 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: Okay? 435 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 1: As a very specific question, and then he ended up, 436 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: I don't we don't even need to hear. But he 437 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: kept pushing for this the specific number, you know, sub 438 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: three hundred Reagan six hundred. 439 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: Uh. 440 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: There are some things here that should be taken into account. 441 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: One play is that not all ships are the same. Yes, 442 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: so the ship number, I mean you could have you know, 443 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: the the SS like Mino or what. 444 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: Isn't that what it was that got Mino? Yes, Billigan's Island, 445 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 2: thank you. 446 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean you could have a very minor ship, or 447 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: you could have a billion dollar Erican. We're in Miami 448 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: right now, Buck, and I walked by a harbor. There 449 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: is a lot of difference between some of those yachts. 450 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: There are boats, and there are yachts. 451 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: You know, there are there are sailing there are. 452 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: You know, there are are schooners and there are sailing ships. 453 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 1: So it's kind of a weird question in that respect too. 454 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: I think it gets a little bit more. But here's 455 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: what I actually was trying to take from this. There 456 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: was a lot of time spent about, you know, how 457 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: much money we should be giving. I didn't hear anyone 458 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: last night, including the VIC, and by all means, I'm 459 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: going on memory, so I could be wrong say that 460 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: they would cut off funding for Ukraine. THEVEC positions himself 461 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: as the guy who is opposed to the establishment on 462 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: this question, and we will track down his response on 463 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: this because this is along the same thing, but he's 464 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: being asked about funding, is being asked about how big 465 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: the navy should be. He said something about how corrupt 466 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: Ukraine is and how it's okay, sure, I mean, then 467 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: that's interesting to bring into the discussion. And Ukraine Democrats 468 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: have created this like Ukraine Utopia, where it's this amazing 469 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: democracy and if it goes away like the whole world 470 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: has fallen apart, that's hysteria and that's nonsense. But I 471 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 1: did not hear a single person on that stage say 472 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: that they would stop effectively being the Arsenal and bank 473 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: for Zelenski's Ukrainian resistance against Russia. 474 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 2: Am I missing that? 475 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 1: I mean that there was, which I think is interesting 476 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: because there was repidation to one hundred percent stand with 477 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: Ukraine as is the I still think the Democrat perspective, 478 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: we see what I mean, they all dance around it 479 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: because they say, oh, we need accountability for the funds. 480 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, oh okay, we need accountability. Do you want to 481 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 2: give them the money or not? Is the real question? 482 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: You got to keep funding them because it's already in 483 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 2: the hundreds of billions. 484 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that's maybe one area where the pivot. 485 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: So I thought the start of the debate that everybody 486 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: on the stage looked phenomenal. That was pretty good advertisement 487 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: for the Republican Party as it pertained to Israel in particular, 488 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: because everybody speaks stridently as one voice to defend the 489 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: right of Israel to defend itself in the Republican Party, 490 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: and you don't have this cacophony of of Hamas and 491 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: Palestinian sympathizers like the Democrat Party would have if they 492 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: were having a real debate on the stage right now, 493 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: But they didn't link them and they didn't allow that 494 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: discussion because I do think the Speaker of the House 495 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: has done a good job in saying, hey, we want 496 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: to fund Israel, but this is really not connected in 497 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 1: our minds to what's going on with Ukraine. 498 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: Now. 499 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: Nikki Haley, Chris Christy uh and Tim Scott, I would say, 500 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: are definitively still in the We got to do as 501 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: much as we can to protect Ukraine. 502 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: But they don't really want to say it. 503 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: Well, it's it's gotten less politically palatable. DeSantis Is, I 504 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: would say in the middle they, to his credit, has 505 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: been the most aggressive in saying I don't really think 506 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: that Ukraine is our battle. He criticizes Ukraine, but I mean, 507 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: I come across this a lot, but people say, oh, 508 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: you know what we're doing with Ukraine. Ukraine's corrupt. Why 509 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: are we giving you a krown this money? And you 510 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 1: see this with pot with some of the people on 511 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: the right, But you say, okay. 512 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: Would you stop, would you stop funding? 513 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 3: Yeah? 514 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: I mean that would be they don't want to say 515 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 2: they don't want to say that. They don't want to 516 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 2: say that, yeah. 517 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: And the people who want to keep the funding going 518 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: like to put the oh, we need accountability. And there 519 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: was something else too, basically putting these like prefacing this 520 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: a little bit, putting in these additional measures. The fundamental 521 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: question is are we going to continue to have a 522 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: blank check approach to funding a Ukrainian fight that is 523 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: currently in stalemate with Russia? Is that what we are 524 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: going to do under a republic the next presidency, assuming 525 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: it's a Republican I think that everyone hedges a little 526 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: bit on this one, is what. I think Trump comes 527 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 1: in and he's just like, I'll end it. I'll sit 528 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: down with Paton, we'll hash out an agreement, we'll end it. 529 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: So that's his position. You can say you like that 530 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: or not, but that's his position. I think a lot 531 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: of people are nervous there because DeSantis got caught in 532 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: an early interview saying that Ukraine was a territorial dispute, 533 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: uh and the way that he phrased that led to 534 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: him getting attacked. I think the donor class frankly is 535 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: far more supportive of the money being spent in Ukraine 536 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: than the average base of the Republican Party is. So 537 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: I thought that was an example of one that they 538 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: were trying to fin and not have to. 539 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 2: To directly address. 540 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 4: Uh. 541 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: One more thing, buck that stood out to me. But 542 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: they seem very kind to DeSantis. 543 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 2: Yes, not now, I mean. 544 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: He made the heal job, but I mean that's that's 545 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of a grade school thing. 546 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 6: Though. 547 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that really. 548 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: I think now the analysis starts to become and and 549 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 1: this is maybe at the bottom of this hour we 550 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: can have a discussion about it in earnest. Where would 551 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: these people's supporters go if they dropped out? For instance, 552 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: I think if Tim Scott dropped out, Trump told us yesterday, 553 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: and I think that's correct. I think Tim Scott would 554 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,239 Speaker 1: endorse Donald Trump, and so most Tim Scott supporters, I 555 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: think would end up aligned with Donald Trump. Chris Christy. 556 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: If Chris Christy dropped out, none of his supporters to 557 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: the extent, you know, let's say both those guys, let's 558 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: give him round above and say they have five percent 559 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: none of Chris Christie's support. I don't believe would go 560 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: to Trump. It's a very anti Trump support. So would 561 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: Chris Christian line up behind Ron DeSantis or Nicky Haley? 562 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: I think that's probably the choice that he would find 563 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: himself in. And it seemed to me that there was 564 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: a decent amount of rapport between Christy and Nicky Haley. 565 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: It seemed like the Veake was actually very respectful of DeSantis. 566 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: But my natural inclination is almost all of the Vake 567 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: support would go to Trump. Now here's the challenge, right, 568 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: Nicky Haley, I think none of her support by and 569 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: large would go to Trump, whereas I think all of 570 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: DeSantis's support would go to Trump. The reason why I 571 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: bring this up is if your goal is to beat Trump, 572 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: how does the math. 573 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: Work as you analyze this? Do you agree with my like? 574 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 2: I think I think that based on. 575 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: The numbers we're seeing it, it's almost. 576 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 2: Right. 577 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: Now whoever gets the swing here or there, it looks 578 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: like it's irrelevant that Trump has gone such a big lee. 579 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 2: So that's the question I'm asking. 580 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: Is there math that would lead to somebody being able 581 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: to beach It would be right, It would be math 582 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: that you would have to be able to do so 583 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 1: to speak the numbers would like in the next month, right, 584 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: I mean, what if you look at this over the 585 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: next three or four months and going into Super Tuesday 586 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: and all that, I think it's too slow for it 587 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: to matter. Yeah, you would have to have these changes occur. 588 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: You'd have to have people dropping out before Christmas. I 589 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: don't I don't think anyone on that stage, with the 590 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: possible exception of Chris Christy, is going to drop. 591 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 2: Out before at least at least Iowa. 592 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: Here's what I would say, bucket is after this debate, 593 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens in December. Again, I think 594 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: really it should just be DeSantis, Vivek, and Nicki Haley 595 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: on the stage in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for the next Republican debate. 596 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: The only game changer I can see is if Nicky 597 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: Haley and Ron DeSantis agreed to join together on a 598 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: unity ticket and they did it right now. Well, that's 599 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: what I mean by it would have to be. It 600 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: would have to be all in. You would have to 601 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: sit down, change and you would have to challenge on 602 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: that is. One of them would have to be like, yeah, 603 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm the number, I'm the president, and the other one 604 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: would have to be the vice president. That's the only 605 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: look I mean, And you guys out there listening, tell 606 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: me if you disagree. Right, just look at this strategically, 607 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: not as a die hard supporter of any particular candidate. 608 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: Just look at it from as a math equation. Well, 609 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at right now, right the latest 610 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: as of November sixth. Here real clear politics. Oh, this 611 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: is actually a trip. This is true, and really what 612 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: we have to have is the Iowa, Iowa and New Hampshire. 613 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 2: Here's what you could say. 614 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: Pretty Trump is at forty four right now, and Trafalgar 615 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: Trafalgar is are very generally considered a pro Trump, not disparaging. Yeah, 616 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: a pro Trump or or you know, lean lean Trump, 617 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: is what I should say. In the polling, Trump is 618 00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: at forty four. DeSantis and Hanley together would be thirty three. Okay, 619 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 1: So if you had a unity the two of them 620 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: and you got to a thirty three or thirty three 621 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: percent support, that would be But I think, uh, you know, 622 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. So here here's my I don't know 623 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: that anybody has the uh the ability to put together 624 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: this equation. Nine in this by the way, but Tim 625 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: Scott's holding on to thy pretty sizable chunk of folks. 626 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: I think Tim Scott is going to endorse Trump, and 627 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: I think he'll do it sooner. Right then you get 628 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: Trump over fifty, and that's see, this is where this 629 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: is where the math. This is where the math becomes 630 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: interesting because I think the only way that you could 631 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: look I don't think Nicky Haley or Ron DeSantis are 632 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: going to drop out, right. I think the only way 633 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: that anybody could give Trump a run at this point 634 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: if you look at the polling is if Nicky Haley 635 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: and Ron DeSantis agreed to have a unity ticket designed 636 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: to beat Trump, could you. 637 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: I mean they would have to do like a coin 638 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: flip or something there would. 639 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: Neither one of them would ever buy temperament or career 640 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: aspiration except the Vice president. Well, it would have to be. 641 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: That's where you look at it from Trump's perspective. If 642 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm looking at it from Trump's perspective. Last night, the 643 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: Veke winning that debate, in my opinion Forveke one, I 644 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: understand that could be polarizing. 645 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 2: Some people might not. 646 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: That's the best result for Trump because it maintains kind 647 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: of a three headed monster where there isn't somebody who 648 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: is like, like, coming out of this debate. 649 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 2: Ramaswam is only at five in this Trafalgar Oh, I'm sorry, 650 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 2: this is that? I pardon me. I thought I was 651 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 2: looking at the average. This is Jiwa. It's just Iowa. Yeah, 652 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: so just Iowa. 653 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: The des Moines register came out, they had Trump at 654 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: like forty three if you combined, and I think DeSantis 655 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: and Haley were both at like sixteen something like that. 656 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: If you combined Desantus and Haley in an Iowa joint ticket, 657 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: then they could give Trump a real run. I don't 658 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: think there's willing to do it, and I think you're 659 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: gonna need to see a result from Iowa and New 660 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: Hampshire where one of them is a clear number two 661 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 1: in order for the other one to get out. Make 662 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: no mistake, we are fighting as spiritual battle as we 663 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: protect the most vulnerable and innocent among us, babies in 664 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: their womb. You see it this week on full display 665 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: with the voting results that were very disappointing in a 666 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: number of states. But there's one nonprofit organization that is 667 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: doing everything they can to help those unborn children, and 668 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 1: they've been doing. 669 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 2: It for seventeen years. Every day. 670 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: They save the lives of two hundred unborn children. They're 671 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: called Preborn. The Preborn network of clinics are located on 672 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: the front lines of this battle in the areas of 673 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: our nation where abortion rates are highest. Preborn offers love, support, counseling, 674 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: and a free ultrasound to pregnant mothers. That ultrasound experience 675 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,719 Speaker 1: is often the difference when a pregnant mother makes her 676 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: decision life or abortion. Consider donating to Preborn as they 677 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: rely on your gifts. The pro life communities gifts to operate. 678 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 1: They save baby's lives. For just twenty eight dollars, you 679 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: can sponsor an ultrasound that doubles a baby's chance at life. 680 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: To donate securely, use your cell phone and dial pound 681 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: two fifty and say the keyword baby. That's pound two 682 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: five zero say baby to talk to someone now, or 683 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: go to preborn dot com slash buck that's preborn dot 684 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 1: com slash b u c K sponsored by Preborn. 685 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 2: Truth after Truth, you can handle the truth. Clay Travis 686 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 2: and Buck Sexton. Third hour of Playing Back kicks off 687 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 2: right now. 688 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to bring you up to speed with the 689 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: latest on the Israel Hamas war here. Israel is expanding 690 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: daily combat pauses colect civilians flee. This is according to 691 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 1: the White House front page right now in the New 692 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: York Times. So pauses during the conflict to allow civilians 693 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: to get out of certain areas. This is not according 694 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: to the White House and Israeli authorities. This is not 695 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: a total this is not a ceasefire. It is very 696 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: limited in duration. We shall see how this affects what's 697 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: going on here and the changes that may occur in 698 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: the combat situation on the ground. But there's another story 699 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: that I wanted to make sure it was getting reported 700 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: on by some solid sources before we talked about it here. 701 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,919 Speaker 1: But I see, you know Daily Mail has picked this up, 702 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: and I want to share this headline with you. Israel 703 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: demands answers from CNN, Associated Press and Reuter's overclaims that 704 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 1: freelance photographers were embedded with hamas to cover the January 705 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: of the October seventh attack. These journalists were accomplices in 706 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 1: crimes against humanity, is the quote that is here. So 707 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: there are allegations out there, and based on some of 708 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: the photography and some of the video that is circulating, 709 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: it would seem that these are certainly credible allegations that 710 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: there were and this is from the Prime Minister of 711 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: Israel's office. 712 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 2: Putting this out. 713 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: That they quote view with utmost gravity that photojournalists working 714 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: with international media joined in covering the acts of murder 715 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: perpetrated by Hamas on October seventh, that these journalists were 716 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: accomplices in crimes against humanity and contrary to professional ethics. 717 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: So it does seem that there were people that were 718 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: that were journalists, and some who have worked for international 719 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 1: news organizations freelance on a freelance basis, but they've worked 720 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: with them who were with and therefore had advanced knowledge 721 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: of the October seventh attack on Israel and were. 722 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 2: Documenting, at least in part some of what happened there. 723 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: So that is a that is a pretty shocking admission. 724 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 2: But you know, journalism doesn't really have much in the 725 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,320 Speaker 2: way of ethics to speak of these days anyway. 726 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 1: But this goes well beyond the normal complaints that we 727 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: have about journalism. This is something that is a stunningly awful, 728 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: awful act if they were along with them. Now, Clay, 729 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 1: the debates, the fights, and there have been fights. 730 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 2: In fact, actually last night did you see this. There 731 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 2: was a. 732 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 1: Showing of Israeli actress Gala Gado wonder Woman. We should 733 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: give her credit just for a moment for people out 734 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: there who are not aware. Gal Gado was a member 735 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:25,799 Speaker 1: of the Israeli Defense Forces, as people who are all 736 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: in Israel serve, by and large, so she plays wonder woman. 737 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: A lot of you have probably watched that she has 738 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,920 Speaker 1: been and again it's celebrities, But of all of the 739 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: celebrities out there, I'm not sure that anyone has been 740 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 1: more outspoken than gal Gado in the Hollywood realm over 741 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 1: Israel's right to defend itself and calling out the horrible 742 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: terror attack and slaughter for what it was. There's been 743 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: a lot of tiptoeing up to this, a lot of 744 00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: attempts to obfuscate, to try to equivocate. That is not 745 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,240 Speaker 1: occurred at all with gal Gado. So to your point, Buck, 746 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: she was showing screening some of this horrible footage to 747 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: try to combat people in LA who are saying this 748 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 1: is some sort of denialism. This didn't actually occur. Yeah, 749 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: so in La there she just she had a theater 750 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: she's saying, you know, inviting people to come and see 751 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: for themselves. What happened on the October seventh attack and 752 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: the atrocities that were committed by Hamas. There was fighting outside, 753 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: there's video of it circulating. There's some some chaos out 754 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 1: there from people who, I think, it's increasingly clear, aren't 755 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: just sympathetic to the Palestinian costs, but are actually pro Hamas. 756 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 4: Uh. 757 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,240 Speaker 1: They think that Hamas is legitimate, that Hamas is fighting 758 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: a resistance battle, and Hamas the entity, the terrorist group 759 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: deserves some level of support. And I want to point 760 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 1: out that this this just got on my radar this morning. 761 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: We played something out Doug Murray. It was British, but 762 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: I think he's a Fox contributes on Fox for Now. 763 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: He's a really smart guy, really worthwhile analyst on a 764 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: whole range of issues. 765 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 2: He was talking to Piers Morgan. 766 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: About this, about this issue, and I want you to 767 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 1: hear this exchange because this is a very important formulation 768 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 1: or very important context to put the issue in play. 769 00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 6: It you don't honestly think they're all pro amass these people, well, 770 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 6: I think that anyone who, for instance, chanced things like 771 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 6: from the River to the Sea is in fact yes, 772 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 6: but they're all doing it's criminally ignorant. 773 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 2: Well they are. 774 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 6: I mean there's masses of videos of the marching past 775 00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 6: Westminster Raby last week saying exactly that.

Like, at what point do 802 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,920 Speaker 1: you take some blame or do you do you realize 803 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:02,839 Speaker 1: there's some contagion effect here of the vile ideology of 804 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: the pro Hamas people that you're standing next to in 805 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: these protests saying, you know. 806 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 2: Free Palestine. 807 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: No, I think it's a fabulous question, and I would 808 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: just point out and I don't know. 809 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 2: You may have seen. 810 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: I have not seen an update on the protester, the 811 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 1: Jewish man who was killed at a Palestinian rally. I've 812 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: seen very little media coverage of it. Compare that to Charlottesville, 813 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,919 Speaker 1: where one person died at Charlottesville. 814 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 2: Tragic. 815 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 1: Certainly she didn't deserve that outcome, But every single person 816 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,520 Speaker 1: listening to us right now has heard about the tragedy 817 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: of Charlottesville one hundred times, two hundred times. If you 818 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: just consume media. You heard Joe Biden claim that it 819 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: was the entire basis for when he decided to run 820 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: for president. Has Joe Biden commented on the Israeli individual 821 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,479 Speaker 1: in LA who was killed. 822 00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 2: I haven't seen it. 823 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was very quick to comment when a young 824 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: kid was murdered by a crazy man and they said 825 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,959 Speaker 1: it was Islamophobia. In fact, they asked about it. Last night, Buck, 826 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 1: I thought, credit to Douglas Murray, and that's a great 827 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 1: exchange with Pierce Morgan. I thought last night, if you 828 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: were take yourself out of your political beliefs, whatever you believe, 829 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: you're listening to us right now. If you put on 830 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 1: that debate and watch the first thirty minutes, honestly, you 831 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,399 Speaker 1: watch the whole thing. But if you watch the first 832 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: thirty minutes and you were not a particularly political person, 833 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: I thought the Republican, all five of the candidates response 834 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: on Israel was superb splendid, strident, full of moral authority. 835 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 1: Right outside where we're broadcasting from right now, Buck, your neighborhood. 836 00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,239 Speaker 1: I walked home after that debate. There are the posters 837 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: that are affixed to all of the light poles here. 838 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 1: I hadn't seen those personally myself. I had seen the 839 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: story Kaarine. Jean Pierre obviously couldn't manage to find out. 840 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 1: But you heard in South Florida a huge Jewish population. 841 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: Every day I'm hearing from more people who are saying 842 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,880 Speaker 1: the inability of the Democrat Party to condemn true evil 843 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: is an incredible stain upon their party. I think it's 844 00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: far worse than anything that happened on January sixth as 845 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: a stain on the country, like not being able to 846 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: condemn evil terror attacks designed to eradicate Jews. 847 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 2: In what way on the Democrat Party? 848 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I would want to know, in what way 849 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 1: is what Hamas did any less evil than the acts 850 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,920 Speaker 1: of ISIS or al Qaeda. 851 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 2: Or these other groups. It is no less you know. 852 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 1: I would like to see someone try to make that argument, 853 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: because I think they would make fools of themselves if 854 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,720 Speaker 1: they did. But this is why, again, the Doug Murray 855 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,799 Speaker 1: point here is so important. People who are pushing for 856 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: certain beliefs hide in the mob and say, well, I'm 857 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 1: not as bad. Maybe it's only a few voices that 858 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: are saying that. Yeah, maybe it's only a few voices 859 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: and it's not a few, by the way, but it's 860 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: a percentage, it's a chunk. It's a group of US. 861 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 1: If at these Palestinian protests, for example, who are saying 862 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,920 Speaker 1: from the River to the Sea, Well, you're associating with 863 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 1: those people. They are supportive of Hamas, you are shoulder 864 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,760 Speaker 1: to shoulder with them in this debate. 865 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,239 Speaker 2: What does that say about you? Like, you could have. 866 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,280 Speaker 1: Taken the position after nine to eleven you could have said. 867 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,239 Speaker 1: Someone could have said, and by the way, there were 868 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: some people who said, this is because it happened at 869 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: my college. Someone stood up and from the Nole College, 870 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: a professor and said, this is what happens when you 871 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 1: make people angry. 872 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 2: I'll never forget that. 873 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 1: But there were people who could have said, you know 874 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: this nine to eleven, you know, right after nine eleven, 875 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: say this is the result of US imperialism and US 876 00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 1: bases in Saudi and basically parrotying Saudi talking point I mean, sorry, 877 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: al Qaida talking points about the Saudi Peninsula, and then 878 00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 1: say but I don't agree with al Qaeda's methods. And 879 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 1: you would have said, well, so you're aligned with al 880 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,239 Speaker 1: Qaida on everything, except you didn't. You don't agree with 881 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,720 Speaker 1: the running the planes into our buildings and murdering thousands 882 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: of people stuff this time, but you agree with all 883 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: their grievances. There's a lot of theF that goes on 884 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: with this Palestinian and Hamas situation where it's well, you're 885 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:18,960 Speaker 1: with all the. 886 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 2: Pro Hamas people. 887 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: Maybe you won't say you like this situation, but you 888 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:27,000 Speaker 1: won't condemn Hamas and you agree with all of Hamas's grievances. Well, 889 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 1: what I thought we need to get Douglas Murray on 890 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: the show, and maybe Piers too. I think we've had 891 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 1: peers on. But what I thought was so interesting about 892 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 1: that was credit He knew that he was checkmated, and 893 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: I was appreciated that sometimes, like, you. 894 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 2: Know what, that's a good argument check me. 895 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 1: Well, what I love about the argument he made Buck 896 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: is he said more than once so, And I think 897 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 1: this is important to kind of contextualize. You might show 898 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: up in this day and age for one event and 899 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: it turns into something else. But if you went the 900 00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 1: first time and everybody's chanting from the river to the sea, 901 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: and you see people who have clear anti Jewish perspectives, 902 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 1: you shouldn't show up for the second and the third rally, 903 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: and that to me, he's even giving a pass. Okay, 904 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,839 Speaker 1: so let's say you don't agree with From the River 905 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,760 Speaker 1: to the Sea, but you actually support the Palestinian people. 906 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,320 Speaker 1: When you showed up the first time and you saw 907 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: everyone chanting that, wouldn't you not want to go back. 908 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 2: To second and third time? 909 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: That's the compelling part of the argument, because you could, 910 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,920 Speaker 1: I think in this day and age, you could end 911 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,280 Speaker 1: up at a rally or a protest and the people 912 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,640 Speaker 1: that are advocating for something they might be different than 913 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:34,799 Speaker 1: what you anticipated. 914 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,760 Speaker 2: You go back to second and third, fourth time. 915 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: You're endorsing what they're saying, even if you explicitly are 916 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,000 Speaker 1: not saying I agree. 917 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 2: That's a you know. 918 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 1: You could say you know, and I saw this when 919 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 1: I used to cover in the very early days of 920 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: my immediate time the Occupy Wall Street movement. There were 921 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: some of these anti cop movements actually that would show 922 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: up to them and they would say horrible things about police. 923 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: Maybe you could say the first time, I didn't know 924 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 1: they were going to say that all cops are racist murderers. 925 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 1: But if you'd gone to the third anti cop rally, 926 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 1: I think you know what you're getting in that right, 927 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:06,279 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And I think that that's 928 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,799 Speaker 1: why that point hit home. We'll get into into more 929 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 1: of this coming back here in a second. And hey, 930 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: credit to Wonder Woman. By the way, Gal Gadot, Yes 931 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: makes it makes me really like I didn't have any 932 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 1: strong opinion one way or the other. 933 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:20,640 Speaker 2: He's attract me. 934 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 1: I wasn't anti anyway, but it makes me really want 935 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 1: to be a fan of hers, especially given how woke 936 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: and crazy so many people in Hollywood are. You know, 937 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 1: if you have a lot of money in the markets 938 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 1: riding on AI and the boom that's happening, I urge 939 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 1: you to listen to my dad, Mason Sexton, with all 940 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: mo honesty. My dad has made his living paying very 941 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: close attention to the markets for decades and making big 942 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 1: predictions in them. In fact, he famously called the nineteen 943 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: eighty seven stock market crash almost of the day, He 944 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,040 Speaker 1: called the exact bottom of the COVID crash several years ago, 945 00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,799 Speaker 1: and he called the exact top of the market last 946 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,279 Speaker 1: year as well. Earlier this year, he went live with 947 00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 1: another major prediction. He warned that the market would out 948 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 1: in late July, and right on queue, the market peaked. 949 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: Those who listen to his unusual prediction, what some call 950 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: this prophecy, were richly rewarded. But now my dad is 951 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 1: coming forward with the second part of his prophecy.

I believe there's three 981 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 1: or four really good candidates in the Republican primary race 982 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,239 Speaker 1: there that everybody's kind of excited about. That's going to 983 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: be a battle. And then Montana, things could look pretty 984 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: good there as well. But I want you to hear 985 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,880 Speaker 1: from Joe Manchin yourself. He just announced this in the 986 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,719 Speaker 1: last few minutes that not running for reelection. This is 987 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 1: what that sounded like. 988 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:06,280 Speaker 7: After months of deliberation and long conversation with my family, 989 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,320 Speaker 7: I believe in my heart of hearts that I've accomplished 990 00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 7: what I set out to do for West Virginia. 991 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,760 Speaker 2: I've made one of the toughest. 992 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,360 Speaker 7: Decided that I will not be running for reelection to 993 00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,120 Speaker 7: the United States Senate. But what I will be doing 994 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 7: is traveling the country and speaking out to see if 995 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 7: there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize 996 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 7: the middle and bring Americans together. 997 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,360 Speaker 2: Okay, Buck, this is big. 998 00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 1: The way he answered that, there has been talk that 999 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 1: he may run as a third party candidate as a 1000 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 1: part of this no labels ticket. That would be devastating 1001 00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:45,799 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden because I think there are a lot 1002 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: of people listening to us right now who you may 1003 00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:53,160 Speaker 1: not agree with everything Joe Manchin said, but you're not 1004 00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 1: going to be choosing between Joe Manchon and Donald Trump, 1005 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,719 Speaker 1: and the event Trump's nominee, I think a lot of 1006 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: Democrats might peel off and support Joe Mansion in the 1007 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,320 Speaker 1: event that he were running as a third party candidate. 1008 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 2: But this is a big pickup. 1009 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,240 Speaker 1: Republicans get the Senate seat, and now maybe Joe Manchin 1010 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,160 Speaker 1: goes out and bollocks is up Joe Biden's re election chances. 1011 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,200 Speaker 1: But you think he's gonna really run or is he 1012 00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 1: just going to try to get some attention and you know, 1013 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,319 Speaker 1: create some organization that he can raise money for that'll 1014 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 1: pay for his food and lodging as he travels around 1015 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You know, because you start 1016 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 1: to get to the realities, as we've discussed of third 1017 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: party candidacies are there are challenges, and Democrats have gotten 1018 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 1: wiser to them than ever because of what happened with 1019 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,840 Speaker 1: the Green Party back in twenty sixteen and Jill Sneyde. 1020 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,040 Speaker 1: So they've made it a lot of states where the 1021 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,440 Speaker 1: Democrats control the legislature, they've made it much more difficult 1022 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: to get on the ballot, and there are legal challenges. 1023 00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,960 Speaker 1: Basically you have to have an organization and a war 1024 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,360 Speaker 1: chest to really do it. Yeah, because it'd be a 1025 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,320 Speaker 1: third party candidate who's not on the ballot in places, 1026 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not really good. Labels raised tens of 1027 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 1: millions of dollars with the idea that they're going to 1028 00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,359 Speaker 1: have a middle of the road candidate. There's also been 1029 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 1: talk and this is why what I thought would happen. 1030 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is that's kind of what you 1031 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: need to do to really no doubt that Larry Hogan, 1032 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:16,160 Speaker 1: who is the former Republican governor of Maryland, could be 1033 00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,760 Speaker 1: the choice. Maybe they run Larry Hogan and Joe Manchin together, 1034 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 1: but I think if Joe Manchin were the candidate, that 1035 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 1: would actually be super beneficial to Donald Trump. Or anybody 1036 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,399 Speaker 1: else who's the Republican nomine eagle because you think he'd 1037 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 1: pull conservative Democrats away from Biden. Because right now the 1038 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,919 Speaker 1: third party issue is that RFK Junior, who has said 1039 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:43,120 Speaker 1: he is going third party, would probably pull more votes 1040 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 1: away from Donald Trump than he would from Joe I 1041 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:46,879 Speaker 1: think that's right. 1042 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,160 Speaker 2: I believe that too. I've thought that all along. 1043 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,800 Speaker 1: I thought that the enthusiasm for RFK Junior has always 1044 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 1: been much more from the right. 1045 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 2: And you can tell. 1046 00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: People, we got people when you asked about Tucker yesterday 1047 00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,959 Speaker 1: as the VP for Trump, and I'm just gonna say, 1048 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,040 Speaker 1: I maybe have some inside knowledge here that that's not 1049 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 1: going to happen, but if it was an interesting idea 1050 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: and certainly just goes to the level of respect that 1051 00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:18,399 Speaker 1: Trump has for for Tucker Carlson in general. But you look, 1052 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,920 Speaker 1: I think at and I completely lost My train of 1053 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,319 Speaker 1: thought was, Oh, sorry, RFK Junior. Rfkjun That's the one 1054 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,160 Speaker 1: question I wish I had asked that. I forgot to 1055 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,360 Speaker 1: ask whether Trump would consider him. And it wasn't just 1056 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 1: that you thought about this. We have people writing in there, YEA, 1057 00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,279 Speaker 1: why din't you ask what RFK Junior into this? 1058 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 2: I just say I. 1059 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 1: Mean for Trump to put a not just a Democrat, 1060 00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,719 Speaker 1: but a Kennedy Democrat on his ticket. I know there 1061 00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,720 Speaker 1: are some people who think that's really cool and interesting 1062 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,960 Speaker 1: and would change things up and would shake up the field. 1063 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,000 Speaker 1: There are also a lot of people would say, well, 1064 00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm voting Republican, but I'm getting a Democrat vice president. 1065 00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 2: Now. 1066 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,640 Speaker 1: I know that in the earliest days, you go back 1067 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,000 Speaker 1: to the founding, we had a different, different structure for 1068 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:58,000 Speaker 1: how vice presidents were were. They weren't really chosen, they 1069 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,799 Speaker 1: were kind of elected. But that was a long time ago. 1070 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,759 Speaker 1: People are used to having you vote Republican, you get 1071 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 1: a Republican president and a Republican vice president. Well, so 1072 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 1: this is you don't hear me say it too often, 1073 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,839 Speaker 1: or maybe you should listen to my wife. I say 1074 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 1: it all the time. I screwed that one up. That's 1075 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,200 Speaker 1: a question I should have asked. And when we finished 1076 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:17,839 Speaker 1: the interview, you go back through your head and you're 1077 00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,799 Speaker 1: like okay, And I was like, dang it, I meant 1078 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 1: to ask about R. FK Junior too, and and I 1079 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,680 Speaker 1: whiffed on that one. So I'm sure we'll have Trump 1080 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: again on I wish I had remembered to ask, because 1081 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 1: I think I said I would ask on this show 1082 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:33,279 Speaker 1: does a whiff for me. 1083 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:34,840 Speaker 2: You know, we're not perfect. 1084 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,520 Speaker 1: Sometimes you get you get an interview, and like you know, 1085 00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:40,239 Speaker 1: Trump is so entertaining at times. I never thought to 1086 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 1: ask him about the about the mug shot buck, but 1087 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 1: off air him telling the story of how the mug 1088 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,480 Speaker 1: shot got taken was so funny to me that I said, 1089 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,280 Speaker 1: oh man, we got to let him tell this story 1090 00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,640 Speaker 1: for the audience. And so you end up in any 1091 00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 1: interview sometimes following the direction of the of the answers. 1092 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 2: More than this is what I was saying. 1093 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,719 Speaker 1: I wish sometimes the moderators would do follow where the 1094 00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: story goes in terms of the answers as opposed to 1095 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,560 Speaker 1: what your script shows that you and do you have 1096 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: your your mugshot your Trump mugshot t shirt play because 1097 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,279 Speaker 1: we definitely got I mentioned the vanilla milkshakes which were 1098 00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 1: which actually were delicious. 1099 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 2: Yes, but we have mugshots.
