1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,120
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody.

2
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 2: Tuesday edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: kicks off right now. Thanks for being with us from

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: all across this great land. Right as we're speaking to you,

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: of course, we are alive. President Trump is holding a

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: cabinet meeting. We were watching it right until the moment

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: we had to come on the air. We are monitoring

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: for the most important moments, so we will bring you those.

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: He's continuing to talk about a range of subjects of

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: the obviously President addressing the terrible floods in the Hill

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: Country of Texas, also discussing that matters having to do

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: with the economy and the border. Specifically on the economy

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: that we've already seen one hundred billion dollars come in

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: of revenue to the Treasury as a result of the

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: Trump tariffs. The tariffs that we were told would raise

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: the price on everything, which does not seem to have

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: happened at all. And Scott Bessin's, his Treasury secretary, went

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: on to say it is expected soon that there will

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: be more like three hundred billion dollars that will come

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: in to the Treasury as a result of the Trump tariffs.

21
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 2: Three hundred billion dollars, a lot of money even for

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: this federal government. That's you know, one hundred billion in here,

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: one hundred billion there. This is real money. So I

24
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: think it's interesting to see how the evolution of the

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: conversation around tariffs is moving so rapidly to not only

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: are tariffs failing to do the price gouging price increases

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: that we were told, but actually bringing money into.

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: The Treasury Department. So I think that's particularly interesting.

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: We've also got some fantastic guest today, just to give

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: you a heads up about that. The Energy Secretary Chris

31
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: Wright will be with us. Let's talk about what mega

32
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: make energy great again?

33
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: How about that. We're gonna talk about energy and.

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: How this administration is all systems go on tapping into

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: the incredible resources that this nation has more so than ever,

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: and getting rid of the red tape and getting rid

37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: of the nonsense and getting rid of the green new

38
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: scam nonsense. So we'll discuss that with him. We've also

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: got Selena Zito, author and journalists.

40
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: She'll be with us.

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: She's got a new book out talking about the attempted

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: assassination Donald Trump.

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: Will discuss with.

44
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: Her what her research found, but Clay, I want to

45
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: start with there's some very interesting things going on in

46
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: the immigration realm. First of all, you've got Mayor Karen Bass,

47
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: the mayor of Los Angeles, very upset and telling members

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: of Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they need to stop

49
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: what they're doing, and by that she means stop enforcing

50
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: the law. They had an operation where they were going

51
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: through a park in Los Angeles and they were picking

52
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: up illegals. The details of this I'm still reading up

53
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: on specifically how many people came, how many people they

54
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: took into custody. But they had this operation where they

55
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: were going to get illegals, and the mayor of Los

56
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: Angeles shows up and says that this needs to stop.

57
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: This is her, This is that MacArthur Park, as federal

58
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: agents are raiding the area. This is cut four. Listen

59
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: to this.

60
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: My comments is they need to leave, and they need

61
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 3: to leave right now.

62
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: Unacceptable.

63
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: Uh No, actually, Clay, they don't need to leave. They're

64
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: enforcing the law. Their federal agency has no authority to

65
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: stop them, to order them to do anything to them.

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: And if she tries, she's breaking federal law, which Los

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: Angeles is still a part of the United States. And

68
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: therefore falls under federal jurisdiction. And there's just none of

69
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: this nonsense that we should be accepting. I want to

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: get into also some of the way the rhetoric that's

71
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: out there is creating Dan. I saw those two ambush attempts,

72
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: one time ICE member shot in the neck. We'll talk

73
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: about that in a second Clay. They really think that

74
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: the law doesn't count somehow in these sanctuary cities, that

75
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: there's some argument to be made that federal law has

76
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: no real bearing on what's going on, just because they

77
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: say so. This is a very important moment in the

78
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: rule of law for this country.

79
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and again it goes to the very basics of

80
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 5: the supremacy clause, which is why I don't really even

81
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 5: understand what the attempt is here. The United States president

82
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 5: controls immigration law. And so we had this discussion because

83
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: Gavin Newsom, remember when he was making a big show

84
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 5: of hey, the president doesn't have the ability to call

85
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 5: out the guard here in the state of California, And

86
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 5: there was one federal District court judge that agreed, and

87
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 5: then it immediately got slapped down by the Ninth Circuit,

88
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 5: and we came on and said this is kind of

89
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 5: a foundational issue. It is a foundational issue that the

90
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 5: president of the United States has control over immigration law

91
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 5: across the entirety of the country, whether it's a blue

92
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 5: state or a blue city or not. And a part

93
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 5: of me thinks, and tell me if, because I'm trying

94
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 5: to think of this strategically, the only way this makes

95
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: sense is if you just are desperate to be arrested

96
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 5: by the President of the United States because that helps

97
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 5: you politically when it comes to your standing in the

98
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 5: Democrat Party. This in no way actually benefits the city.

99
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 5: It certainly doesn't benefit the state. Look, have you ever

100
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 5: seen a study on this, because I would love to

101
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 5: see a study on this. Mom Donnie got elected in

102
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 5: New York City and I see these as all connected.

103
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 5: Or got the nomination for the Democrat Party in New

104
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 5: York City for the mayorship by basically arguing rent is

105
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 5: too expensive, we need to rent, freeze rent, and really

106
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 5: he argued products are too expensive. Life is too expensive

107
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 5: in New York City. You lived in New York City

108
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 5: for a while, I don't know what the numbers would reflect.

109
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 5: Jd Vance made this argument a bit on the debate

110
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 5: against Mike Walls Tim Walls and then it got shot down.

111
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 5: Didn't get much attention beyond that. What would it do

112
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 5: to rent if there were no illegal immigrants in New

113
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 5: York City?

114
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: Well, I believe that the laws of supply and demand

115
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: still matter, even when Democrats wish they wouldn't. So, yes,

116
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: there would be more housing that would open up. This

117
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: is true in New York City, this is true nationwide.

118
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: The same way that they say, who's going to work

119
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: in the meat plant once the illegals have been removed

120
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: from it? Americans? That's actually what happens. That's how supply

121
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: demand works. Yeah, this has been fascinating because the rhetorical

122
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: question that they think they're asking actually has an answer.

123
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 2: Who's going to take these jobs? Americans who could paid

124
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: on the books and a real wage.

125
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 5: So I would love the fact that we've never really

126
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: seen a study, and maybe some of you have if

127
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 5: we have. According to Tom Holman, twenty million illegals in

128
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 5: the United States. That's what he told me a couple

129
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 5: of months ago he thought was the actual number. Now

130
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 5: some of you are going to say, hey, I think

131
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: it's thirty, or I think it's forty or whatever.

132
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: The number is.

133
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 5: Tom Holman said twenty, So I'm going to use twenty

134
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 5: as a rough approximation. Those numbers are overwhelmingly slotted in

135
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 5: cities like New York, Chicago, and LA. What would rents

136
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 5: do if you just eliminated illegal immigrants from the rental universe?

137
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 5: To your point, natural laws of supplying demand would suggest

138
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: they would come down substantially.

139
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: It's even worse than that. Unfortunately, the city of New

140
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: York has some of the most oppressive and anti anti

141
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: property owner laws in the entire country. And there's also

142
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: rent control, which is just a government mandated spoil system

143
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: that people abuse. And I'm sorry if some people live

144
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: in rent control department's good for you, but you're actually

145
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: kind of milking the system.

146
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: That's just the truth I had.

147
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: I you know, my first my girlfriend, when I was

148
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: in high school, she lived in a rent control department,

149
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: and when her parents told me what she was paying,

150
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: I remember I was like, Wow, that's having a couple

151
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: of hundred bucks a month for a huge apartment.

152
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:23,119
Speaker 1: I was like, that's weird.

153
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: So look, it's it's a spoil system and it artificially

154
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: raises the cost of housing the same way that illegal

155
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: immigration raised the cost of housing.

156
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: Here's here's another one. Clay.

157
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: They estimate and they have pretty good numbers on this

158
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 2: because they have to build people. Thirty percent of emergency

159
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: room visits in New York City last year were illegal immigrants.

160
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: Thirty Yeah, so if thirty percent of the er visits

161
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: are illegals, now, I know you say, oh, but they

162
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: don't have access to frontline care.

163
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: That's why they're going.

164
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but what would happen if you didn't have those illegals?

165
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: You have a whole lot more er capacity, wouldn't you.

166
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 2: You'd have much shorter er weights, wouldn't you. The same concepts,

167
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: the same ideas apply to housing, apply to employment, apply

168
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: because supply and demand is a real thing.

169
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 5: Which is why I think Republicans should start making that argument,

170
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 5: because there are a lot of people out there who

171
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 5: feel like goods cost way more than they used to,

172
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 5: and that's the function of inflation. Inflation comes down, it

173
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 5: doesn't ever go away. It's like putting on weight. You

174
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 5: eventually have to you know, you don't ever get typically

175
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 5: negative cost of goods. So you're trying to get around

176
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 5: two percent a year, it's still going to add up.

177
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 5: I saw our friend Jesse Kelly shared something that since

178
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 5: COVID one hundred thousand dollars today one hundred thousand dollars

179
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty, you need one hundred and twenty five

180
00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 5: k today to have the same purchasing power. Basically, everything

181
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 5: costs about twenty five percent more than it did in

182
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 5: twenty twenty, which is a function of inflation, because we

183
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 5: judge inflation on a year to year basis, not on

184
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 5: a multi year basis, So that nine percent inflation got

185
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 5: perpetually embedded. And so really goods have increased in value

186
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 5: by about the cost of them has increased by about

187
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 5: twenty five percent just over the last five years.

188
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: And you look at what happens when the government starts

189
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: playing this game of influencing the numbers in the market,

190
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 2: whether it's for housing or employment, playing these games by

191
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: allowing illegal immigrants to get you know, work papers and

192
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: all these things, it has tremendous costs. Obamacare, this has

193
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: been largely forgotten, was supposed to bring down the cost

194
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: of healthcare.

195
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: Everybody.

196
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 2: Do you remember that? Does anybody remember that was the

197
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: big promise? Yeah, you're all going to be covered covered,

198
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: quote unquote, but it's going to bring on the cost

199
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: of healthcare.

200
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: It didn't do that.

201
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 2: Healthcare is actually just getting more expensive all the time.

202
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: It's super heavily regulated and it is more expensive. Kind

203
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: of like housing stock in Los Angeles. Very hard to

204
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: build new homes in LA new apartment buildings, a million

205
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: different environmental and union and local regulations. Same thing is

206
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: true in New York City. These places are infringing on

207
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: the market and causing huge problems. So yes, with the illegals,

208
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: despite what Mayor Bass says, they're called illegals once again

209
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 2: for a reason because they're breaking the law. And I

210
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: think Tom Homan really got to this when he said

211
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: that they're arresting non criminals. He's like, they're not allowed

212
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: to be here. The whole point is that this is

213
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 2: cut ten. He's like, we're arresting the people who are

214
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 2: not supposed to be in the United States. That is

215
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: the fundamental problem. Yeah, and that cut ten.

216
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 6: The country legally, you're not off the table. I mean

217
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 6: people are actually people are you know saying we're resting

218
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 6: non criminals. Well, during the country lead, that's our job,

219
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 6: and we toldal Ice agents in the process going out,

220
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 6: but from the bad guy and this that's the problem

221
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 6: of sanctuary cities. When we go to the community to

222
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 6: go find the criminal, many times you're with others, others

223
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 6: that may not be a criminal target, but they're in

224
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 6: the United States illllateally they're coming too. We're going to

225
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 6: force immigration law. Unlike the last administration where Secretary of

226
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 6: majorcas instructured ice. You can't arrest an illegal alien for

227
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 6: simply being here at legally, they got to be arrested,

228
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 6: are being convicted of a serious criminal offense. He me

229
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 6: wrote the law. That's not what the law says. We're

230
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 6: going to force law. That's what the people put President

231
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 6: Trump in office to do, and that's what we're doing.

232
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 5: Enforce the law. And we have shut down the border.

233
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 5: But again, if you take Tom Homan at his word,

234
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 5: and there's twenty million illegals here, even at three thousand

235
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 5: deportations a day, it would take decades to get that

236
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 5: twenty million out of the country. That's the reality. It's

237
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 5: why Tom Homan just said, hey, we need to bump

238
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 5: those numbers up to seven thousand a day. We'll talk

239
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 5: more about this, but I do think the only thing

240
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 5: that makes sense for Karen Bass is she's hoping to

241
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 5: get arrested. Gavin Newsom's hoping to get arrested. He actually

242
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 5: called out for it because they see it as ultimately

243
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 5: beneficial in the Democrat Party, even if it's actually detrimental

244
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 5: to their city and state, which is a sad place

245
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 5: to be look piece in the Israel fragile. Israel's military

246
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 5: acted on Sunday against the Huti rebels after they attacked

247
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 5: the ship with materials meant for Israel. Every time Israeli

248
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 5: citizens think the threats have been neutralized, the rebels show

249
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 5: aggression again. Israelis are still recovering from the missile bombings

250
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 5: from Iran that affected thousands of innocent civilians. Your gift

Speaker 7: our friend Selena Zito. Book comes out today. I've got

267
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 7: a copy because you know, I know some people. Butler,

268
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 7: the Untold Story of the near assassination of Donald Trump

269
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 7: and the fight for America's heartland.

270
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: Selena, you do great reporting. You're an excellent writer.

271
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: You were right there that day in Butler as those

272
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: shots rang out.

273
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: Tell us what was it like?

274
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 8: One happah Yeah. So you know when you're in report

275
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 8: and you aren't, your day starts out a certain way,

276
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 8: like you're going to do this, this and this, and

277
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 8: nine times out of ten, that's not what happens. And

278
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 8: so that day I was supposed to interview President Trump

279
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 8: for five minutes before the rally. That changed about two

280
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 8: hours after. I'm in ad Butler and it's going to

281
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 8: be five minutes after the rally. And then they say, well,

282
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 8: you want to fly to Bedminster with the President and

283
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 8: do the interview on the plane. I'm like, wow, I

284
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 8: never get an invite like that. I'm in. And then

285
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 8: five minutes before he's supposed to go on stage, they

286
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 8: come rushing back and say it's go time. And I

287
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 8: just assumed that they changed their mind and I was

288
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 8: going to do it before the rally. So I raced

289
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 8: through it along with my daughter who's a photo journalist.

290
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 8: She did the cover of the book and race through

291
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 8: the crowd. We get to the behind the stage and

292
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 8: I asked the young man, like, where where are we

293
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 8: doing this interview? And the President's around the bend. He

294
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 8: comes back and he says, I'm not doing the interview

295
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 8: right now. You're still going to Bedminster. He just wanted

296
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 8: to say hi to you. And so that moment of

297
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 8: him just wanting to say hi, he asked about my grandchildren.

298
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 8: I've interviewed President Trump dozens of times, and at that moment,

299
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 8: I'm then now stuck because I can't get back to

300
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 8: the press riser and I'm supposed to leave with him

301
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 8: to go to Bedminster along with my daughter. So they

302
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 8: put me in the buffer area. The buffer is sort

303
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 8: of this well that goes around the stage, and they

304
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 8: said just follow him out and then get over on

305
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 8: the other side. Towards the end, you can just jump

306
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 8: in the motorcake. That's why I ended up being just

307
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 8: four feet away from the president when he was shot,

308
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 8: was right. If you can see me and a lot

309
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 8: of the photos just to his that would have been

310
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 8: his left.

311
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 5: Selena, this is I've got the book in front of

312
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 5: me right now, and I read the opening chapter already.

313
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 5: Is fabulously well done, and I'm actually looking forward to

314
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 5: reading it. And we get a lot of books, and

315
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 5: I'm not able to read all of them. But we're

316
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 5: coming up on the one year anniversary. Do you find

317
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 5: it as hard as I do? As I think Buck does,

318
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 5: and as I imagine the vast majority of people out

319
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 5: there listening do that we still know almost nothing about

320
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 5: this guy who got onto the roof with that gun.

321
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 5: Not much about his background, not much about his motivation

322
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 5: on that day, not even that much about how he

323
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 5: came to come as close as he did to killing

324
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 5: the President of the United States, which, by the grace

325
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 5: of God, he did not achieve.

326
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: But we're in a completely different universe.

327
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: If that bullet is one quarter inch closer to the president,

328
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 5: what do you think now, having been there, having witnessed it,

329
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 5: does it still seem improbable that all of this happened.

330
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 8: It does seem improbable that all of this happened. And

331
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 8: you'll find out in the book. The President calls me

332
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 8: the first thing the next morning and he you know,

333
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 8: President Trump is a little hilarious if you don't haven't

334
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 8: picked up on that. The first thing he says is, Hey,

335
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 8: this is President Trump, Like I don't know that, right,

336
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 8: And then then he goes, I'm so I want to

337
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 8: make sure you're okay, your daughter's okay, and I'm so

338
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 8: sorry that we didn't get to do that interview. And

339
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 8: that's that's this moment with him, right that you really

340
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 8: understand like like this is this is not the person

341
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 8: you always think he is. And we have we go

342
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 8: on that day and it's detailed in the book. We

343
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 8: go on that day because he calls me seven times,

344
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 8: and he really talks about the improbability that he didn't die,

345
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 8: and he questions about purpose and about God not in

346
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 8: a fanatical you know religious way, but in a way

347
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 8: that is very thoughtful. And you know, so you know

348
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 8: why didn't I die? Do?

349
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 3: I know?

350
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 8: How do I have this new purpose? And I think

351
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 8: he answers that question every day, whether you agree or

352
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 8: not with everything that he does. He answers that question

353
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 8: every day since he was sworn in in January. They

354
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 8: does have purpose. This is not the presidency of a

355
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 8: man going into his second term. This is a president'sy.

356
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 8: This is not a lame duck presidency. He is approaching

357
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 8: this as someone who who was spared by God, and

358
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 8: he says that many times to me, but also as

359
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 8: as someone that has a purpose and he is meant

360
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 8: to fulfill it, and he's going to go head down

361
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 8: straight into it because you never know what's going to

362
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 8: happen to you.

363
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 5: I think that what you just said is so important,

364
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 5: and I think people are picking up on it now.

365
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 5: I think even Democrats are the biggest difference between Trump

366
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 5: one point zero and Trump two point zero is the

367
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 5: quality of the people he surrounded himself with. Yes, but

368
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: also Trump is making decisions that he thinks are generationally

369
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 5: in the interest of the country, and he's not concerned

370
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: at all with anyone who might disagree with him. And

371
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 5: I think that's partly because he feels spared based on

372
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 5: what happened that day in Butler.

373
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 8: Yes, So I had an interview coming out with him

374
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 8: this week on Friday in the Washington Post, and he

375
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 8: talks about that in a very meaningful and profound way.

376
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 8: And you know, part of who he surrounds himself also

377
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 8: has to do with Butler. Like Butler changed everything. It

378
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 8: didn't just change the American electorate. It didn't just change

379
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 8: our coalitions and galvanize people. And people will read that

380
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 8: detail as I continue to cover the election in a

381
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 8: way that none of you have sail us all because

382
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 8: the reporters were writing something completely different than what I

383
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 8: was reporting in that moment. But everything changed in that moment.

384
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 8: And I think this nugets important because it goes to

385
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 8: understanding Trump in a way that people don't understand, and

386
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 8: it goes to understanding why he's going to do what

387
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 8: he's going to do because God saved him. And that

388
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 8: is the moment that he says, fight, fight, fight. And

389
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 8: I asked him about it the next day, and I

390
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 8: asked him again about it two weeks ago. He said,

391
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 8: and I just wanted to revisit it with him, and

392
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 8: he had the same exact answer, because I didn't know

393
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 8: if you would remember that or not. Right, that was

394
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 8: a pretty crazy day. The next day he said, I

395
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 8: was not Donald Trump in that moment. I had an

396
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:39,199
Speaker 8: obligation to be someone who shows resolves and be a

397
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 8: symbol of the country, be a symbol of grit and exceptionalism,

398
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 8: and we will go undefeated. And that is what America

399
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 8: has always meant to me. And I had an obligation

400
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 8: as a former president and possibly the next president to

401
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 8: show that because in a lot of ways, because I

402
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 8: didn't want people to panic there and they didn't, by

403
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 8: the way, but also I didn't want people watching panicking

404
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 8: out in the streets. I had an obligation to be presidential,

405
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 8: not to be Donald Trump, to represent the office in

406
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 8: the country with resolves.

407
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 2: Selena, Honestly, wasn't that just the most amazing thing you've

408
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: ever seen a president do? Amazing even for President Trump,

409
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 2: who's done a lot of incredible stuff. Clay and I

410
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 2: still sit there and think, I can't it's hard to

411
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: believe even when you watch the video, Even when we

412
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: saw it the first time, as it was happening that

413
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: a president took a bullet through the year, was bleeding

414
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: on stage and turned to his people and raised a

415
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: fist and told them to fight.

416
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, it was is that that process It went

417
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 8: through his head, that understanding that it was more he

418
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 8: was a man there, he was a president. He was

419
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 8: America in that moment, right, you know that symbol of

420
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 8: our country when you think about the American eagle, right,

421
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 8: perseverance and strength and grid. He knew that people needed

422
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 8: to know that he was fighting, that the country was fighting,

423
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 8: and that something as dark as demonic as what Thomas

424
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 8: Matthew Crooks attempted to do and would have caused immense

425
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 8: chaos and unrest in this country was not succeeded. And

426
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 8: he wanted to show that America is resilient. I don't know,

427
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 8: and I remember him telling me that, and my reaction was, well, wow,

428
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 8: that's the because it was it was it was it

429
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 8: was to think on your feet like that after you've

430
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 8: been shot. I mean most people would be in the

431
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 8: fetal position, right, And I'm watching him so he remember

432
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 8: I'm only four feet away and I'm watching him like

433
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 8: struggle with his secret service because he wants his shoes on,

434
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 8: and damn it, he's going to get his shoes on.

435
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 8: He is not walking off of that stage in his

436
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 8: stocking feet across gravel. Were you able to be the

437
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 8: United States?

438
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: Were you able to go to slop?

439
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 5: I'm just kind of curious when something like that happens,

440
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 5: were you able to immediately contextualize the historic moment of

441
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 5: what had occurred? And the fact that I think for

442
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 5: hundreds of years people are going to be watching that

443
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 5: video and it's going to become even more iconic after

444
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 5: the passions of the moment start to fade because Democrats

445
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 5: have whatever they think about Trump. But I think fifty

446
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 5: one hundred years from now, long after anyone who is

447
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 5: listening to us today is not here, that moment is

448
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 5: going to become so indelible and so iconic in American life.

449
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 5: Did you understand that or feel that immediately? And second part,

450
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 5: did you like, were you able to sleep that night?

451
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 5: I'm just kind of curious when you have that experience,

452
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 5: how long it takes you to come down off the

453
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 5: adrenaline rush, just based on where you were to say nothing.

454
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 8: Of him, I'm still not come down from it. And

455
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 8: and you know, I knew exactly. You know, as a journalist,

456
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 8: you know part of your job, even if it's a

457
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 8: tiny thread, you're always covering history every day. But I

458
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 8: knew in that moment, you know, And and and he

459
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 8: talks about purpose, but I also talk about purpose. There

460
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 8: is a reason I was there, right, and there was

461
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 8: a reason I was supposed to chronicle this, and and

462
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 8: I knew that that was what my purpose was and

463
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 8: to be able to tell this story. And because I

464
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 8: have a gift of total recall, right, I can remember

465
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 8: every smell, every cell like I think, and color right,

466
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 8: like I can smell and taste and feel everything in

467
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 8: that moment. And and when they when people say when

468
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 8: they've been in in a in a in a trad situation,

469
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 8: the time slows down, then that was very true for me.

470
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 8: And and I watched the entire thing in in in

471
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 8: these these very fine layers. And because I have the

472
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 8: gift of recall, and plus I have my recorder on

473
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 8: and i'm talking, I record everything that happens. I can

474
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 8: hear everything the president says. But also I'm talking to

475
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 8: my recorder, so I don't forget anything. And and I

476
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 8: had and I probably started the book and I didn't

477
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 8: even think about a book. I just thought, well, I

478
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 8: need to write this story.

479
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: And I did.

480
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 8: But you know, people came to me, it's.

481
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: Like, you need do you have an obligation to write

482
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 3: this book?

483
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 8: And and so I immediately started writing it. While as

484
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 8: I'm writing it, I'm still continuing to cover an extraordinarily

485
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 8: historic election. That I believe is that I'm watching it

486
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 8: that other people aren't covering what's happening. They're covering what

487
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 8: they wish was having opening, They're covering what they hope happens.

488
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 8: But I'm on the ground there in Pennsylvania, in the

489
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 8: middle of somewhere in Pennsylvania, and I'm covering this and

490
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 8: seeing this entire country change, not just in the rural

491
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 8: areas but in the suburbs. I'm watching these young mothers

492
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 8: who all was who have never put a Trump hat

493
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 8: on in the next weekend, have them on at their kids'

494
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 8: soccer games because and there's interviews in the book, and

495
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 8: they say, hey, he can take a bullet for me.

496
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 8: I can wear a damn hat and not worry about

497
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 8: what people say to me. Everything changed in that moment.

498
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: Butler, the untold story of the Near assassination of Donald

499
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,520

Speaker 2: especially in our own home, and to do that right,

533
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: We know we were just you're just in a marathon

534
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: cabinet meeting. As a member of the cabinet, a lot

535
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 2: covered there. Wanted to just jump into what is in

536
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 2: the big beautiful bill that affects directly US national energy policy?

537
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: Like what do we need to know about what's coming?

538
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 3: Actually quite a bit, but let me start out with

539
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: maybe the biggest thing is it's the ending of about

540
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 3: a half a trillion dollars of subsidies that would be

541
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 3: paid out in the next ten years, so you know,

542
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 3: roughly fifty billion a year. We've been paying these for

543
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 3: many years and the biggest component to them is to

544
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: pay people to put wind and solar on our electricity grid,

545
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: and subsidies to help rich people by evs. And so

546
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: the problem of these subsidies is they not only cost

547
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,479
Speaker 3: the taxpayers that half a trillion dollars, but at the

548
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: end they make our electricity grids more expensive and less stable,

549
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 3: so we have to pay twice. So I think reducing

550
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: the pressure the cost of these subsidies and the pressure

551
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 3: on the cost instability of our grid is going to

552
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 3: be a big win for Americans.

553
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 5: When you look at at the price of gas, I

554
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 5: think that's a big story.

555
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean talking in the price of gasoline and in

556
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: affordability terms. So it's just tremendous. That's a significant expense

557
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: that all Americans, all of us pay every week to

558
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: get to our jobs, to go on vacations and visit

559
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 3: our grandmothers and travel with our kids. If you make

560
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: gasoline prices expensive, you just shrink the Life Administration's record.

561
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 3: We have gasoline twenty five to thirty cents a gallon

562
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: cheaper today than it was twelve months ago. And that's

563
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: going through a period of major conflict in the Middle East,

564
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: but major productive conflict in the Middle East, hopefully ending

565
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: the forty six years of a ran at the troublemaker

566
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: in the Middle East and really the threat to global peace,

567
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 3: probably the largest global threat to peace over the last

568
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 3: forty five years.

569
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: We're speaking to the Secretary of the US Department of Energy,

570
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: Chris Wright, and mister secretary, if you could lay out

571
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: for us what does a make energy great again? You know,

572
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: mega mega, What does a make energy great again policy

573
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 2: under Trump look like going forward?

574
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: Forward? Does it include nuclear?

575
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 2: Is it new technology applied to fossil fuels?

576
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 1: Like?

577
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: What is the Trump administration trying to accomplish so that

578
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: not only are we doing as much as we can

579
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: with the technology we have and the resources we have

580
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: in the past, but that we do new things, innovative

581
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 2: things going forward.

582
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 3: Oh great, setting of that table. So I mentioned that

583
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 3: getting rid of a half a trillion dollars to make

584
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: energy expensive. There's also in the One Big Beautiful Bill

585
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,959
Speaker 3: just for returning to room of law and allowing oil,

586
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 3: gas and coal producers to produce again on federal lands

587
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: across the country. This will lower baseline energy prices in

588
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 3: the coming years and decades in front of us. I

589
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 3: squeezed that one in there real quick. But there's also

590
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 3: I'm a free market guy, so I'm not a fan

591
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 3: of subsidies, but we do have tax credits in there

592
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: for a finite period of time for next generation nuclear

593
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: and for geothermal and for uprates. If we can get

594
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: more power out of hydro, have it cheaper to build

595
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: big reactors.

596
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, No, I was going to ak.

597
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 2: It's exactly what you were going into, which is what

598
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: does that look like, because nuclear unfortunately became a boogeyman.

599
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: What does it look like? And what percentage do you

600
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: think of our power could come from nuclear in the

601
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: years ahead, given the Trump administration's willingness and your willingness to.

602
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: Twenty percent of electricity today, So after a natural gas,

603
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: which is by far and away the leader, nuclear is second.

604
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean that could Yeah, a couple of

605
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: decades from now, that could be fifty, forty or fifty

606
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: percent of our electricity from nuclear. We got to build

607
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: a lot to do that, but this is America. We

608
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 3: can build a lot. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the NRC

609
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 3: has just made it so expensive, so slow, and so

610
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: risky to develop nuclear power in the country. We basically

611
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: stopped doing it for the last few decades. So we

612
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: need regulatory reform at the NRC. We need regulatory reform

613
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 3: from NEPA so that it's just a check are we

614
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 3: being small about the environment? Not a weaponized thing. You

615
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: could just have lawsuits and stop anything from being built.

616
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 3: We need to have a five permit on federal lands,

617
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 3: Department of Energy, you'll be in charge of that. We

618
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 3: will have next generation test reactors running twelve months from

619
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 3: today at our Idaho National Lab facilities. There like the

620
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: technology is there, at the private capital is there, the

621
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: interest is there. We just need the government to get

622
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 3: out of the way and let capitalism and free market

623
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 3: forces bring us a very exciting few decades with rapid

624
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: growth in nuclear energy.

625
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: We're talking to Energy Secretary Chris Wright.

626
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 5: Buck just asked, and you are hearing a lot of

627
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 5: talk about the need for nuclear power. Underscoring all of this,

628
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 5: based on the people that I talk to, is there

629
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 5: isn't enough discussion about all of the power and energy

630
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:54,760
Speaker 5: that's going to be necessary for AI that the amount

631
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 5: that this is going to demand, the amount that it's

632
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 5: going to soak up, is just off the charts, Matt,

633
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 5: I imagine is something you're spending a decent amount on

634
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 5: as well, uh, for AI for the AI revolution to

635
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 5: take place in for America to lead? What sort of

636
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 5: energy do we need to create that isn't being created now?

637
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 5: Is that accurate based on what you're seeing now?

638
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right. Let me give them numbers real quick.

639
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 3: We had so here we are twenty twenty five. Five

640
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 3: years from now, we're going to need probably at least

641
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 3: another one hundred gigawatts of generation. A gigawatt is like

642
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 3: a big coal power plant, a big natural gas plant,

643
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 3: a nuclear plant. Some nuclear plants are two or three gigawatts,

644
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 3: but one hundred gigawatts of additional power five years from now.

645
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 3: And in the current plan, there is a plan to

646
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 3: shut down one hundred gigawatts of mostly coal plants over

647
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 3: the next five years. If we did all that, we'd

648
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 3: have to build two hundred gigawatts of new power generation

649
00:35:56,760 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 3: to meet that projected demand. And what's the queue right

650
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 3: now that's visible or applying for a permit or acquiring

651
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 3: land of firm capacity about twenty gigawatts, so a gaping hole.

652
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 3: Which is why this administration in my department are going

653
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 3: to be very carefully scrutinizing. Does it make sense to

654
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 3: shut down that coal power plant like the one they

655
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 3: tried to shut down in Michigan and over one gigawatt

656
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 3: power plant fifteen years left the plant life, and for

657
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 3: political reasons we want to get rid of coal, We're

658
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 3: going to shut that puppy down. I used emergency powers

659
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 3: to keep it open. Two days in that same Midwest

660
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 3: grid there was a blackout. Like, we've just got to

661
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 3: stop shooting ourselves in the foot by closing existing plants,

662
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 3: and we've got to make it much much easier for

663
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: American businesses to build new natural gas plants, to build

664
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 3: new new current plants, to build new geothermal and next

665
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,839
Speaker 3: generation electricity generating capacity. Just wind and solar just is

666
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 3: simply not an answer. You know, it's really hot in

667
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 3: DC today, but the wind is still wind power at

668
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 3: time of peak demand, and the winner it's really cold

669
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: at night, but we don't have any solar power. And

670
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 3: when you're in a cold of the huge cold front,

671
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 3: it's again a high pressure system, no win. So we

672
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 3: just got to get smart about energy in the United

673
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 3: States again. But it's business and private entrepreneurs that are

674
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 3: going to drive this. We just need the government to

675
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 3: be out of the way and a credible partner for

676
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: permitting and any other infrastructure that needs to be built

677
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 3: to support it.

678
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: But I'm up.

679
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,959
Speaker 3: This is America. We can build things again.

680
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: Well one more for you, mister Secretary, Thank you for

681
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 2: being with us in terms of ex sports for particularly

682
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 2: oil and natural gas. I know we've been doing very well,

683
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: and America is really the world's fossil fuel the true

684
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: fossil fuel superpower. We don't necessarily think of ourselves that way,

685
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: but I think the numbers certainly bear that out. Is

686
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: there going to be would you expect it an increase

687
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 2: in that? And how how do you see it affecting

688
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: global demand?

689
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's going to be a huge increase of that.

690
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: The United States is already by follow the largest exporter

691
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 3: of natural gas in the world, and we will double

692
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 3: that in the next five years, and the five or

693
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 3: seven years after that we could double it again, so

694
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 3: America would just be the dominant supplier of natural gas

695
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 3: around the world. That's twenty five percent of global energy

696
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 3: comes from natural gas, and it's the fastest growing source

697
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 3: of energy on the planet. So super excited about where

698
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:37,439
Speaker 3: all this could go.

699
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: And I've got to jump onto no W.

700
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,959
Speaker 2: We like the optimism. Thanks for joining us right after

701
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 2: cabinet meeting. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, Thank you so much, sir.

702
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 3: Love to show you guys run keep up the great work.

703
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:53,800
Speaker 1: Thank you.

704
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 2: Can I just say I love that the Secretary of

705
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 2: Energy is a high energy guy. You know, he's not

706
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 2: low energy, he's high energy. Running around there in the background.

707
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 2: We'll break down some of that. Continue to take your

708
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: calls and what we've got Selena Zito, who is going

709
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 2: to take us to Butler, Pennsylvania. It's almost the one

710
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 2: year anniversary of Donald Trump nearly being assassinated taking a

711
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 2: bullet in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania. She had one

712
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: of the upfront views of that event. She's got a

713
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: brand new book out about that day in particular, and

714
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: we will discuss that with Earth bottom of this hour.

715
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: In meantime, decisions about healthcare coverage, which plans right for

716
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 2: you and your family, they don't come easily. Choices have

717
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 2: gotten more limited, less appealing and frankly often very confusing.

718
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 2: Something as important as health insurance. You want to feel

719
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 2: good about the decisions you're making. Why settle for a

720
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 2: government plan like the Affordable Care Act when there's a

721
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 2: better option, one that puts you in control. There's a

722
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 2: solution to finding good health care coverage called Ease for Everyone.

723
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 2: It offers affordable health care for as low as two

724
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two bucks a month. You can keep

725
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 2: your doctor, never pay a deductible, and access over four

Speaker 5: Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. All right,

738
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 5: we'll play some of your reactions. Again, I have brilliantly

739
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 5: explained why the Epstein case is really frankly based on

740
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 5: all the logic about a guy who got rich by

741
00:40:56,200 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 5: being able to provide young, attractive women to people who

742
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 5: were also rich, and that may well have led to

743
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 5: relationships with intelligence agencies. And so far that does not

744
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 5: seem to have quelled the crazy brigade. So the crazy

745
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 5: brigade is welcome to call in eight hundred and two

746
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 5: two two eight A two and argue that the entire

747
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 5: government has conspired to protect Jeffrey Epstein. But I did

748
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 5: want to say something incredibly positive. Did you see this story?

749
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: Buck?

750
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 5: You no longer have to take your shoes off to

751
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 5: go through a TSA line.

752
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: Now, I love to see it.

753
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 5: I only got TSA pre check like whatever, Ali, producer, Ali,

754
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 5: and you made me do it because I had never

755
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 5: done it.

756
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: We believe you didn't have pre check. That was a

757
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: true shocker.

758
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 5: It is true I had not done it. My last

759
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 5: book came out. They were like, you need to do it.

760
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 5: It is better. I'll be honest with you. Some airports,

761
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 5: the pre check line is now longer than the regular line.

762
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 5: Like when I flew back from Florida, recently, every time

763
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 5: I go into my Florida airport, the line is longer

764
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 5: to go through pre check than it is to go

765
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 5: through standard, and that sometimes happens at lots of different

766
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 5: airports out there across the country. But would you agree

767
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 5: with me that it was almost universally hated that you

768
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 5: had to take your shoes off, and it was one

769
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 5: of the things that any government employee would make you

770
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 5: do that regardless of how you vote. Everybody was like,

771
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 5: this is absurd and ridiculous. Yeah, it was degrading and

772
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 5: it felt preposterous. And the whole thing to me was

773
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 5: always look.

774
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 2: A lot of the TSA stuffice theater, and there was

775
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 2: a lot of TSA. A lot of things that TSA

776
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 2: have done and we're doing reminds me of the way

777
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: that COVID was handled on some level, like we're just

778
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 2: going to do things so that people think that we're

779
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 2: doing things. But the people I always felt bad for

780
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 2: weren't just the I have to remove my shoes people, Clay,

781
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 2: It was the people who weren't wearing socks of that

782
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: just feels icky. You know, you have to kick off

783
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 2: your your birken stocks with no socks and you got

784
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 2: to walk on those gross airport floors. What do you

785
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 2: think the last time was the TSA line floor was

786
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 2: mopped up.

787
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: I think it's been a while.

788
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 5: Look, this is how you beat viruses. You got to

789
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,600
Speaker 5: expose yourself to the grit and grime. This is why

790
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 5: bare feet people, I think we live longer because we

791
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 5: are more attuned with like fighting off viruses, because we

792
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 5: just walk around with bare feet. We're exposing ourselves all

793
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 5: the time. In all seriousness, this is one of the

794
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 5: stories they say about why allergies have gotten so bad.

795
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 5: Have you read some of these theories that the reason

796
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 5: why kids today are allergic to so much more every

797
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 5: generation is allergic to more is actually because we live

798
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 5: in such sterile, clean environments that kids today are not

799
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:10,760
Speaker 5: coming into contact with the same amount of antigens ish

800
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 5: for lack of a better term, that they would have before.

801
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 5: And so that's one reason for antactagens pathogens. Right, antigens pathogens?

802
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it's antigens.

803
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 5: Are they just two different types of the same thing.

804
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 5: I'm not the science.

805
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: Are right?

806
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 2: Antigen a toxic or other foreign substance with which induces

807
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 2: an immune response?

808
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 3: You're right?

809
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 1: Antigen, not pathogen. Sorry you keep going.

810
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 5: Well, now you've got me confused, because I'm like, what's

811
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 5: the difference between an antigen and a pathogen? But I

812
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 5: do think like every kid, every generation of kids has

813
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 5: gotten way more allergic to peanuts, for instance, right, Like

814
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 5: they don't even have peanuts on airplanes now.

815
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, So a pathogen is a disease causing organism, bacteria, virus, fungus.

816
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: An antigen is just a thing that triggers an immune response.

817
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 2: Is actually the more proper There you go, mister Clay,

818
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 2: There you go, are hack to you, sir, And everybody

819
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,399
Speaker 2: just got better at sat vocab out there who's out

820
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 2: for school for the summer. You should be able to

821
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 2: get that correct now. But you know, used to be

822
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 2: in like nineteen eighty nobody had buying large peanut allergies.

823
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 2: And now we sit here in twenty twenty five, forty

824
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 2: five years later, and they can't even pass out peanuts

825
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 2: on airplanes anymore because there might be an allergy there.

826
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 2: How does that happen? Well, I think it's frankly because

827
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 2: we're not exposing kids to these antigens. But on the

828
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 2: larger context here, I think TSA is an I know

829
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 2: a lot of you are TSA agents, because I meet

830
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 2: a lot of TSA agents going in and out of

831
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,040
Speaker 2: airports that listen to the show and or consume the

832
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 2: comments we go through to get on airplanes and taking

833
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: off your shoes and taking your laptop out of your

834
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 2: bag and things like that, and now you have to

835
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:07,240
Speaker 2: have the real id to fly. None of it feels

836
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: to me like it's making us very much safer. And

837
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 2: I think many people have always seen I know I was.

838
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 2: I remember the shoebomber whatever his name was, Richard Richard

839
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 2: back in the day, tried to light his shoes on

840
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 2: fire on a flight I think from Europe to the

841
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: United States if I remember correctly, and h But I

842
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: just feel like all of that kind of conspired to

843
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 2: make people trust the larger security apparatus less instead of more.

844
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 2: And the data actually reflects people get through with weapons

845
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 2: all the time, you know, when they do the tests

846
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,479
Speaker 2: on ay, like I've got an actual gun, an actual gun,

847
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 2: which you would think like, hey, maybe your nail clippers,

848
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 2: we don't need to worry about so much, but an

849
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 2: actual gun, let's try to stop that from happening. They

850
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 2: still get through an actually scary amount of time even

851
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 2: with existing TSA.

852
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: Yes, this is true.

853
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 5: So I don't know what the long range solution is

854
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 5: here long term, but I do feel like this is

855
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,359
Speaker 5: an improvement, and on a positive level, I think it

856
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 5: will probably cut lines by a quarter or a third

857
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 5: because everything will just be way more efficient without having

858
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 5: to make people take their shoes off and walk through

859
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 5: and wait for it and everything else.

860
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 2: Not to interrupt our shoe security discussion, but we will

861
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: have now we've been confirm it's been confirmed by his team.

862
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: The Energy Secretary will join us at two o'clock because

863
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 2: he just got out of the rather lengthy Trump Cabinet

864
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 2: meeting which covered a lot of ground, which we're bringing

865
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: you the highlights of it. I think we're doing a

866
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 2: great service by bringing you the highlights, because otherwise you

867
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 2: have to spend most of your day listening to the

868
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 2: entirety of the Trump Cabinet meeting. So we will have

869
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 2: the inner Secretary, which will be an exciting discussion, and

870
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 2: you don't have to take your shoes off anymore now

871
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 2: in the normal line. And yes, it is true Clay

872
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 2: that sometimes the TSA pre line is in fact worse

873
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 2: than the just I'm a person who wants to fly line,

874
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 2: so you gotta you gotta pick your you gotta pick

875
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 2: your line here in Miami, which I will say is

876
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,280
Speaker 2: one of the worst airports in America for any city.

877
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 2: I think it's probably a top five worst airport. It's

878
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 2: one of the few things about Miami that.

879
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: I really.

880
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 2: It's just a big, big, l big loss. Is the

881
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 2: airport here, and there's many different airport.

882
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: Is a disaster. It's a disaster.

883
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 2: It's a terrible airport, and the city of Miami needs

884
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 2: to figure out.

885
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: And let me say this too.

886
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 5: Fort Lauderdale better, I think in terms of getting able

887
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 5: to get in and out also an awful airport.

888
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 2: The Palm Jisch Airport is the one you want to

889
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 2: go to if you're looking for a nice airport around here.

890
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: You know, there's like a string quartet playing when you land.

891
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 2: There's a butler's named Jeeves who are hanging or who

892
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 2: are handing out little little nibbles of caviare very civilized

893
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 2: in the Palm Beach airport. But Miami, you know, you

894
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 2: can get some uh some Cuban coffee. But the airport

895
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: itself is not good.

896
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,319
Speaker 5: Miami. It seems like it was designed the airport to

897
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 5: make you have to walk the longest.

898
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 2: Boss possible distance at all times. Yes, and it has

899
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 2: the worst It has the worst food, the worst design.

900
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 2: It looks like it, you know, as a nineteen seventies

901
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 2: time warp. So yeah, if you have a good airport, lucky.

902
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 2: I saw actually a ranking of the best airports in

903
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 2: the car I saw this. The Washington Post ranked them.

904
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,919
Speaker 2: Do you have an airport you fly into and you're like, man,

905
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 2: this is a great Now some airports are tiny, and

906
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 2: I don't count those, like you know, I at the terminal,

907
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 2: I will say, is pretty impressive. Now we can't throw

908
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: any shade at it.

909
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 5: Well, Guardia used to be like a greyhound bus terminal.

910
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 5: I hated going there. It's really nice now. Nashville has

911
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 5: done a good job on I think redoing much. Yeah,

912
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 5: very civilized. You guys have a good air Yeah, it's

913
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 5: it's a pretty good airport. I actually think National Airport

914
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 5: is the best in DC in terms of proximity to

915
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 5: being able to get in and out of the city.

916
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 5: I actually think National is one of the best. This

917
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 5: would be I mean, I feel like I've been to

918
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 5: almost every major airport at some point in time.

919
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you a Salt Lake city has a

920
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:25,440
Speaker 1: great airport.

921
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of the other ones that I've

922
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 5: been to recently where now some cities have multiple airports,

923
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 5: so that can get a little bit complicated. Denver's airports

924
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 5: in the middle of nowhere, it's actually very nice airport

925
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 5: when you actually get there. Dallas is generally actually O'Hair

926
00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 5: I know, gets a lot of hate.

927
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: I know O'Hair gets a ton of hate.

928
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 5: Dulus if they make you get on like a people

929
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 5: mover to get to the terminals. Like Dallas, you have

930
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 5: to get on the people mover. Orlando not very well designed.

931
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 5: You have to get on the people movers. Vegas a

932
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 5: lot of time. Vegas is oh Vegas is ugly, not surprising,

933
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,720
Speaker 5: but pretty depressing airport.

934
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 2: Portland has, according to the Post, had a very nice airport.

935
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 2: We got Trump weighing in here on you see that

936
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 2: that's a hard turn back into the news.

937
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: That's how we roll here.

938
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,919
Speaker 2: We got Trump weighing in on the Putin situation. From

939
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 2: Portland to Putin, we cover all the ground here. This

940
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 2: is caught thirty two. You can tell Trump is getting

941
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 2: very frustrated with the leader of Russia.

942
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: Listen to this one play it.

943
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 4: That was a war that should have happened, and a

944
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 4: lot of people are dying and it should end.

945
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

946
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 4: We get we get, We get a lot of vote

947
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 4: thrown at us by Putin for you want to know

948
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 4: the truth. It is very nice all the time, but

949
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 4: it turns out to be meaningless. Lensigram has a sanctions

950
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:44,880
Speaker 4: bill on Russia.

951
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 3: Do you want them to move?

952
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 4: I'm looking at it. Yeah, I'm looking at The Senator

953
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 4: is passing and passed a very very tough sanctions but yeah,

954
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 4: I'm looking at It's an optional bill. It's totally at

955
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 4: my option. They passed it totally at my option, and

956
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 4: to terminate totally at my option. And I'm looking at it.

957
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 2: The plan so far with Russia to stop this bloodshed

958
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 2: in Ukraine Clay has not worked. So Trump is now

959
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 2: looking at the pressure points that he can use in

960
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 2: the alternatives to get Putin to stop. But it's been

961
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 2: going in the other direction.

962
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 5: Are we still have they given up on the Trump

963
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 5: as a Russian asset or is this still something they

964
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 5: say on the left? Now you don't hear it as much.

965
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 5: You don't hear it as much because he still pretty

966
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 5: critical of Putin in the first six months, and now

967
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 5: he's like the readout on Zolensky and the resources we're

968
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 5: giving is that Trump's relationship with Zelensky is on a

969
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 5: better ground than his relationship with Putin. Remember is only

970
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 5: in February where we had to blow up in the

971
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 5: Oval office and everybody was convinced, oh, this is Manchurian

972
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 5: candidate Trump. I just I can't keep up with who

973
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 5: exactly Trump is an asset of So I just I'm

974
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 5: curious what the latest is on the left wing swamp

Speaker 5: secretary coming up here at the top talk about how

978
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 5: we're going to be I assume it's gonna be a

979
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 5: lot of drill, baby drill going on, and that's a

980
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 5: good thing. We want those fossil fuels, we want the

981
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 5: actual and we want nuclear We want some things that

982
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 5: actually work, a little less focus on windmills, and you

983
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:28,120

Speaker 5: network of clinics are doing amazing work every day. You know,

985
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 5: I talk to you about it because it's important, and

986
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 5: so many of you are ardent members of the pro

987
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 5: life community, and you're thinking, well, what can I do.

988
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 5: I live my principles and I vote for pro life candidates,

989
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 5: but there's something else you can do, and it's support

990
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 5: people who are on the front line saving babies. Right now,

991
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 5: abortion is still legal in so many places, including up

992
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 5: to nine months of pregnancy. It's horrible, and we can

993
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 5: save babies right now. That's what Preborn is doing. And

994

Speaker 5: they bring mothers into their clinic, they give them a

995
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 5: free ultrasound and they say, hey, look, this is the

996
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 5: baby that's inside you. Now, let's talk about this. We'll

Speaker 5: that covers that ultrasound, and they're putting their clinics in

1000
