1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Welcome in hour number two Clay Travis buck Sexton show

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: headline on Fox Business. Oil prices have dropped the most

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: in four years in the last twenty four hours. If

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: you're wondering whether the oil panic of yesterday has vanished.

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: Stock prices are up again today fairly decently, and MSNBC

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: has removed their oil and gas tracker from their website

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: as well as the stock market sorry, from their television broadcast.

8
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 1: And so we're on to the next narrative, whatever it

9
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: may be. After a one day everybody's going to collapse

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: because we're not going to be able to pay for

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: oil and gas narrative. And by the way, Buck, I

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: was talking about this with Buck off the air.

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, tough spot.

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: If you were one of those guys who bought the

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: oil and gas yesterday for one hundred and twenty dollars

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: and now you're staring at eighty five dollar barrel of oil,

17
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big hit for a lot of

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: the commodities traders out there. Speculation is risk, no doubt.

19
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: We bring in now North Carolinian Michael Wattley. One of

20
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: the biggest battleground states of the midterm will be North Carolina,

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: and in particular and open Senate seat there. The primaries

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: are over, it is going to be Michael Wattley against

23
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: Roy Cooper.

24
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: You have seen and.

25
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Helped to shepherd Trump to victories in North Carolina in

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, and twenty twenty four, and so

27
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: you know the state better than almost anyone. What does

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: it look like on the ground there? What needs to

29
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: happen in order for a victory to happen in this

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: seat to remain in Republican hands.

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 4: Chairman Wattley, Well, really, look what came out of the primaries,

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: and we have an unified Republican Party and we have

33
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: the narrative that we really were hoping to have in

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: this election cycle, because this is about contrast. This is

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 4: about the choice that North Carolinians had, and they're going

36
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 4: to vote for a conservative champion who's going to be

37
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: an ally for President Trump over Roy Cooper, who absolutely

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: is not going to be an ally with the President.

39
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: He's not going to support the President's agenda. He is

40
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 4: going to be a soft on crime senator just like

41
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: he was a soft on crime governor, and he is

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 4: going to always want higher taxes. He's going to want

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 4: boys and girls sports and men and women's locker rooms.

44
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: And he's going to always fight harder for criminals and

45
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: illegal aliens than he is for the people of North Carolina.

46
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 5: So my understanding is you are the recoveries are for

47
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: western North Carolina right after Hurricane Helen. That Trump has

48
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 5: talked about how you've been important in those efforts. How

49
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 5: is that going And what would you say at the

50
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 5: state efforts that you weren't in control of to try

51
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 5: to help out areas like Ashville and Boone.

52
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: Well, what we saw when Roy Cooper was the governor

53
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 4: was absolutely no activity whatsoever, either from Joe Biden or

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: from Roy Cooper. They both left the state totally in shambles.

55
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 4: What President Trump has done, what we've been able to do,

56
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: is bring eight point seventy five billion dollars plus in

57
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: recovery efforts to western North Carolina. Ninety nine percent of

58
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: the roads have been rebuilt, the bridges have been rebuilt,

59
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: the water systems, the wastewater systems have been rebuilt. You know,

60
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: that is a very strong part of the state. It

61
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: is a resilient part of the state. The people there have,

62
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 4: you know, overcome advers adversity. But you know, we're not

63
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 4: ready to hang out a mission accomplished banner yet, but

64
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: we feel very good about where we are in terms

65
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: of the recovery. And this is the largest recovery effort

66
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: by the federal govern in North Carolina history for any hurricane.

67
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: The governor, former governor of North Carolina you're running against,

68
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: Troy Cooper. I remember seeing a super viral video of

69
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 1: him asked a very basic question, should men be able

70
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,559
Speaker 1: to compete in women's sports? And I know, as March

71
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: madness is going on, there's not a sports crazier state

72
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: hardly for basketball season than North Carolina right now. I

73
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: think it's something that really cuts through and connects with

74
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: a lot of North Carolinians in particular.

75
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 3: Has he answered that question?

76
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: I imagine that when you get on the debate stage

77
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: and as this campaign progresses, that's going to be something

78
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: that you really hammer him on.

79
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 4: Well, he did answer the question, because he vetoed three

80
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 4: different bills to keep woke out of schools, boys out

81
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 4: of girls' sports, and men's out of women's locker rooms.

82
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 4: He's exactly wrong on this issue set and it really does,

83
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 4: as you say, you know, touch the hearts and minds

84
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: of people all across North Carolina.

85
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 5: What is the difference between you and Roy Cooper? As

86
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 5: you see it when it comes to immigration enforcement. That's

87
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 5: obviously an area that matters a whole lot to the

88
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 5: whole country, and it matters a whole lot to your

89
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 5: home state of North Carolina. Where's Cooper on that issue?

90
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 5: Where has he been as governor? And where will you be?

91
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to support President Trump. I think that

92
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 4: when we talk about the highest most important function for

93
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 4: any government, it is protecting its citizens. That's true, whether

94
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: it's local, state, or federal. And what President Trump has

95
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: done in securing our border is not just keep out

96
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 4: you know, the millions of illegal immigrants that were flowing

97
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 4: into the country every single year, but is also brought

98
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 4: down drugs. He's brought down migrant prime sex trafficking, you know,

99
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 4: all of the all of the scourges that came along

100
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 4: with you know, ten to fifteen million illegal immigrants that

101
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 4: came across you know. Roy Cooper, on the other hand,

102
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: Vico two different bills that would fourth sheriff to omit

103
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: rice detainers and help get violent, criminal illegal aliens out

104
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: of North Carolina.

105
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: Oh I know that the answer is everywhere, every part

106
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: of the state. But you know the state of North

107
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: Carolina better than anybody. Buck just asked you about western

108
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: North Carolina, where I think you were born and raised,

109
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: still recovering from a lot of what happened with Hurricane Helene.

110
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: Where does a statewide race get decided in your mind?

111
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: Is it the suburbs outside of Charlotte? Is it in

112
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: turnout related issues? Again, I know that there are lots

113
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: of things to point to, but when you look at

114
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: this state, where is a close election decided in North Carolina?

115
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 4: Look, you nailed it on the head when you said

116
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 4: everywhere matters. We're expecting that this race is going to

117
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 4: be extraordinarily close. You know, when Tom Tillis won this

118
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 4: seat for the first time in twenty fourteen, he had

119
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 4: a fifty thousand vote margin, which was three tenths of

120
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 4: a point. When he won it for the second time,

121
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: it was a sixth tenth of a point margin, and

122
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 4: Ted Budd got a very comfortable fifty point five. So

123
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 4: we know that every place is going to matter. What

124
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 4: we need to do is to get out there and

125
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 4: talk to every Republican voter that supported President Trump. Who

126
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 4: has not voted in the off years. So we look

127
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: at people who voted in twenty sixteen, twenty twenty, and

128
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, but they didn't vote in twenty eighteen

129
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 4: or twenty twenty two. We want to go to them

130
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: and have a conversation that says this, it really matters.

131
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 4: We need to dynamite them off the couch and we

132
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: need to get them to go vote. The other thing

133
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: that we need to do is, in a typical election

134
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 4: in North Carolina, forty six forty seven percent of the

135
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: people are going to vote for a Republican candidate, forty

136
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: six forty seven percent are going to vote for a

137
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 4: Democratic candidate. And then we are going to have to

138
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: go have a conversation with that six to eight percent

139
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 4: that are your swing voters. And they're predominantly suburban, they're

140
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 4: predominantly college educated, and the thing that matters to them

141
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 4: is a conversation about crazy versus common sense. And they

142
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: supported President Trump in this last election cycle independent voters

143
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 4: in North Carolina fifty four to forty five because he

144
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: was the common sense candidate. He was actually going out

145
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 4: there and talking about the issues that they cared about,

146
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: not the woke progressive issues that Kamala Harris was putting

147
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 4: on the table. Roy Cooper is right there in lockstep

148
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 4: with the Democratic Party when he's talking about open borders,

149
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: inflationary spending in a weak, woke America. What I'm fighting

150
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 4: for is President Trump's common sense agenda to rebuild our economy,

151
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: to make sure that our kids and our communities are safe,

152
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: and that the men and women in uniform based in

153
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: North Carolina have what they need to protect our interests

154
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: and allies around the world.

155
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: Speaking to Michael Wadley, he's running for that Senate seat

156
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 5: that's opened in this cycle in North Carolina. I know

157
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 5: you've strongly supported Michael. President Trump's tax cuts, which have

158
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 5: obviously boosted North Carolina's economy along with the rest of

159
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: the country. But there's major affordability concerns in your state,

160
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 5: just like there are in many states, particularly a lot

161
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: of states, people are moving to right. Housing prices are

162
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 5: going up because of that supply and demand reality. Roy

163
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 5: Cooper wants to expand medicaid. Roy Cooper wants to spend

164
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 5: more money, and that's not going to help.

165
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: What would you like to do?

166
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 5: What kind of pro growth policies would you prioritize in

167
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 5: the Senate so that working families can get some relief

168
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 5: and there can be some of the affordability issues addressed

169
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 5: that are so critical right now, especially to those independent

170
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 5: swing voters.

171
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, tax policies, regulatory policies, and trade policies that

172
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 4: are going to help North Carolina manufacture small businesses and

173
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 4: particularly our farms. Right we need to create more jobs,

174
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 4: We need to make sure people are taking home bigger paychecks,

175
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: and of course we've got to get the cost download

176
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: and that is going to take a concerted effort. You know,

177
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: one of the things that's so important about President Trump

178
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 4: and the One Big Beautiful Bill that was passed by

179
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: by Congress last year is extending the Trump middle class

180
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 4: tax cuts, which ended up being the largest tax cut

181
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 4: in history, and making sure that no tax on tips,

182
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 4: no tax on overtime, no tax on social security. You know,

183
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 4: Roy Cooper, when he was a legislator, he voted for

184
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: multiple tax hikes. When he was the governor, he vetoed

185
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 4: six different tax cuts, and he made it very clear

186
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: that he would have voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill.

187
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 4: So he's always going to support tax increases. He's always

188
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 4: going to want, you know, to tax and spend your money, right,

189
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 4: I'm going to always fight to make sure that we're

190
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 4: going to bring those costs down. You know, you mentioned housing, right.

191
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 4: So just today we've got Secretary Scott Turner, Secretary of

192
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: Housing Urban Development, coming into Charlotte, North Carolina, and we're

193
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 4: going to have a roundtable where we're going to be

194
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: focusing on bringing down housing costs and making sure that

195
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: we have houses that are going to be available. It's

196
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 4: really hard for you to set up and live the

197
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 4: American dream when you can't get married and buy a

198
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 4: house and raise a family. And so what we want

199
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 4: to do is have an honest conversation with the Secretary

200
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 4: along with you know, real estate developers and lenders and

201
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 4: construction folks, about what is it going to take for

202
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 4: us to be able to build more homes and bring

203
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 4: down those prices. We need to bring you know, interest

204
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: rates down, right. President Trump has been fighting on that

205
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 4: a lot. We need to have transparency in the housing markets,

206
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: and we need to make sure that the HUD loans

207
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 4: and other programs they have are specifically designed to get

208
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 4: more first time homeowners into place.

209
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: How much is this race going to cost total do

210
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: you think And for people out there that might have

211
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: the resources to be able to help you, how can

212
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: they help you?

213
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: Well, this is going to be the most expensive Senate

214
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 4: race in the history of the country, and we're seeing,

215
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: you know, experts on both sides of the aisle or

216
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 4: saying that we're going to be somewhere north of six

217
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars that are going to be spent on

218
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: this race, which is going to eclipse what we saw

219
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 4: in Ohio and Georgia Pennsylvania in the last couple of

220
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 4: election cycles. People want to support us, they can go

221
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 4: to Michael Wattley dot com. We are certainly going to

222
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 4: need help from all across the country, and we're going

223
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 4: to be in a position to win this race when

224
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 4: we have that support, because we are believers that good

225
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: policy is good politics, and we're going to be on

226
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 4: the right side of every one of these eighty twenty

227
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: issues and we're going to be fighting for President Trump's

228
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 4: common sense agenda.

229
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: I want to just come back to that number quickly,

230
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: because my jaw drop for people watching on video, you

231
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: think this race is going to cost six hundred million dollars?

232
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's a it's a stunning indictment on

233
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,599
Speaker 4: politics these days that this is what we're going to

234
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 4: be spending on there, you know, But we need to

235
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: make sure that we get our message out, you know,

236
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 4: and and President Trump did such a good job. What

237
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 4: we did on the campaign was make sure that we

238
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 4: were good stewards of every dollar that we were spending

239
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: it in a way that was going to maximize getting

240
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: our message out there. But it didn't work if we

241
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: didn't have a good message. And so when we talk

242
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 4: about rebuilding the economy, restoring the borders, and keeping our

243
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: kids and our communities safe, and making sure that our

244
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: military has what they need, you know, as as we're

245
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: watching what happens now in Iran, we need to make

246
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 4: sure that we're focusing on what are the issue sets

247
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: that the voters care about.

248
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 3: He is Michael Wattley.

249
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: He is hopefully going to be the next Senator from

250
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: the state of North Carolina. I'm sure we'll be talking

251
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: to you a lot. That six hundred million dollar battle

252
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,440

Speaker 1: Senate battle in the country.

298
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: Let's go wag hit it.

299
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 6: Hey, Buck could you just give an explanation of why

300
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 6: if we've beaten the crap out of Iran and all

301
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 6: their military, why are we still dealing with blockages of

302
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 6: the Straits of hor moves and increase an oil price

303
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 6: and all that.

304
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: Why is why is it not open? Yeah, it's a

305
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: good question.

306
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 5: Trump was addressing this just the last few days, telling

307
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 5: the ship captains the oil tankers, it's okay, go for it.

308
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 5: All right, Well, that's that's a little easier and said

309
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 5: than done. If you're the ship captain on a giant

310
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 5: floating sea of oil and you know that the Iranians

311
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 5: are saying, we may just decide to make an example

312
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 5: if somebody and cause an ecological disaster.

313
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 3: You know, you don't want to.

314
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 5: Be the one that they happen to have one more

315
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 5: good missile lined up for, right, So there's there's just

316
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 5: a fear factor with these ships going in and out.

317
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: Right now, they're still sending drones and missiles out, so

318
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: you could be, to bucks point the one that gets hit,

319
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: which is why Trump is now providing escort. By the way,

320
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: I think the fear that this was going to happen

321
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: has collapsed. It drove up oil prices now, they're down

322
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: forty dollars from yesterday. By the way, Dan in New

323
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: York w r UP in New York City has a question.

324
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 7: Hi, guys, Dan from New York here, maybe you could

325
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 7: explain to the audience why, if we are the biggest producer,

326
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 7: why we can't control the price.

327
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 5: Well, it's because oil is a globally traded commodity, so

328
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 5: it's priced by international supply and demand. So there's there's

329
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 5: a lot of how much oil is being pumped by

330
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 5: different places at different time. I mean, we have influence

331
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 5: on it obviously, Like it's not as we don't. We

332
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 5: don't lack influence, but there's additional supply or rather, you know,

333
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 5: additional capacity is a big thing, like the Saudis have

334
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 5: a lot of additional capacity to put out more.

335
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: So it's not so clear as just it's global buck.

336
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: I would also add in there has to be a

337
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: price point where people can make money. So you can't

338
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: drive down the price of boiling gas to thirty dollars

339
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: a barrel because no one will pump, right, It's a

340
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: balancing act. We'll talk a little bit more about that.

341
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: It's a good question I think for people who may

342
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: not pay a lot of attention to this in the meantime.

Speaker 1: Gonna say it. I always ask and then I say

360
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: it anyway. Nearly a neighbor of mine, among other reasons

361
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: that I appreciate everything that she does. She has great

362

365
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: Congratulations on the new book. Let me make sure that

366
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: I get that out there. For the title, it is

367
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: Nothing is Impossible with God, eleven Heroes, one God Endless

368
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: Lessons in Overcoming Shannon of course, chief legal correspondent at

Speaker 1: buy her book, put her on the bestseller list, like

371
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: Buck was just on the bestseller list.

372
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: For the New York Times.

373
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: And Shannon, I'll get to the book in a sec,

374
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: but let me start with this. We're still expecting really

375
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: big Supreme Court decisions. When do we expect some of

376
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: these to come down? And what do you think has

377
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: the potential to be the most significant between now and

378
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: June when that term is over.

379
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 8: Welly, good to hear your voice. It's great to be

380
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 8: with you, guys, Thanks for having me. We probably will

381
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 8: get another round of opinions starting the week of March

382
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 8: twenty third. They're back in arguments or arguments then, so listen,

383
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 8: it's the Court's world. We're just living in it. They

384
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 8: could give these opinions any time we want, but that's

385
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 8: kind of my educated guest. You know, we're waiting on

386
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 8: one really big one out of Louisiana that has to

387
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 8: do with redistricting with the Voting Rights Act, and you

388
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 8: guys know, we're tracking these states all over the country

389
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 8: that are trying to do redistricting leading up to the midterms.

390
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 8: So if we get that decision on the earlier side,

391
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 8: meaning you know, March April, rather than the later which

392
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 8: would be the end of June, it really does have

393
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 8: the potential to impact a number of these states and

394
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 8: what they're doing, what's redrawing these streets. So excuse me,

395
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 8: the district. So I'm watching for that one. We've got

396
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 8: a couple that tests the limits of executive power, you know,

397
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 8: the President trying to dismiss a governor from the FED Board,

398
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 8: and some other interesting ones that we're just kind of

399
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 8: waiting on our nail biting standby.

400
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 5: I want to ask you about the book because I

401
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 5: just went through the whole book thing and still.

402
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 8: Going through and congrats, congrats, thank.

403
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 5: You, thank you. I'm sure you're enjoying your copy very much.

404
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 5: Thank you for your kind words.

405
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: Tell me.

406
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 5: What'd you write in this book and what if people

407
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 5: needed to know? I want to dive right into it.

408
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 8: Well, listen, it's a group of stories from the Bible,

409
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 8: Old and New Testament to have this theme of overcoming,

410
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 8: because I mean, all of us get up against something

411
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 8: in life that you know, either it's unplanned and it's

412
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 8: you know, a terrible diagnosis or financial crisis, or something

413
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 8: really difficult in life. And maybe something exciting like you know,

414
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 8: starting a new business or having a baby or doing something.

415
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 8: But we all have things that sometimes will make us

416
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 8: feel a little bit overwhelmed. And that's a common threat

417
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 8: in all of these stories. And so I hope that

418
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 8: people will see themselves in these stories, be encouraged and

419
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 8: see how God was working and helped each of these

420
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 8: people to overcome what was the testing in front of them.

421
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: Shannon, you mentioned the Supreme Court decisions that are coming

422
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: down soon. One of the biggest questions and this is

423
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: a huge mess in general. So maybe you have the

424
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: perfect solution here is and I think we've talked about

425
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: this with you before. The tariff decision had so many

426
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: different implications, but the biggest still is out there. It

427
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: is what happens with tariff for refunds? How does this

428
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: play out in your mind? Where does it go?

429
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, and listen during the fights over the tariffs in

430
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 8: the lower course. The administration represented to the course numerous

431
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 8: times that they would pay out the refunds to the

432
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 8: plaintiffs in those particular cases. So that was just a

433
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 8: small group of businesses. So I pressed, you know, Secretary Vessett,

434
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 8: Kevin Hassett, others on this, like what happens to everybody

435
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 8: else out there? And you've seen, I mean, there have

436
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 8: already been a lot of big filings, lawsuit filed with

437
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 8: different companies across the spectrum saying we want our money back. Well, now, CBP,

438
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 8: because this money comes in through border patrol. They say, listen,

439
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 8: we're getting together a streamlined way.

440
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: To do this.

441
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 8: It's going to take us about forty five days. I

442
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 8: think they build the court recently to kind of set

443
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 8: up the way that you go about getting your refunds.

444
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,959
Speaker 8: But there are a lot of lawsuits from companies who

445
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 8: saying we're not waiting for that. We want the money

446
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 8: back and we want a guarantee from the court that

447
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 8: you're going to pay us.

448
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 5: H How do you think this plays out, Shannon, Well.

449
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 8: You know, the President himself was frustrated that the court

450
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 8: did not give a specific, you know, framework for paying

451
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 8: this money back instead, he you know, said, oh, we're

452
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 8: going to be kind of in litigation for a couple

453
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 8: of years. So that's my question. Is the administration going

454
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 8: to fight some of these refunds or will they do

455
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 8: as CBP has said said of this framework, because you know,

456
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 8: several businesses out there have spoken publicly and said, listen

457
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 8: the forms that you fill out for these specific tareffs.

458
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 8: It's always very specific, so you can track we got

459
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 8: the receipts, as the kids say, to show exactly what

460
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 8: money you've paid out. And so it would seem with

461
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 8: that in mind, if CBP really sets up this framework

462
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 8: for getting it done, that that would expedite the process.

463
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 8: But I think that they are going to be those

464
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 8: who press for litigation to make sure that that now

465
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 8: has made good.

466
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 1: When you look, Shannon at the Supreme Court decisions, the

467
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: one that you just referenced on the on the redistricting

468
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: in particular using race as a criteria, the jerrymandering of race,

469
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: I've seen some stories that that could flip twenty different districts,

470
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: particularly in the South. If that's tossed, my suspicion, I'm

471
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: curious if you would sign on is that the Court

472
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: is going to wait as late as possible release that ruling.

473
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: I think it's going to invalidate those districts, but I

474
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: think they want to do it late enough that it

475
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: doesn't impact the twenty twenty six mid terms. You buy

476
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: that or do you think there is a possibility that

477
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: they would interject themselves into that aspect of twenty twenty six.

478
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's such a great question, because that's what

479
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 8: we keep waiting for. Listen, if this thing comes in

480
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 8: the next couple of weeks, I do think. You know,

481
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 8: it's going to impact a number of states that can

482
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 8: make the changes before it's later, But if it comes

483
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 8: to the end of the June, it may preclude that process.

484
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 8: You're right, from getting too close to doing anything about

485
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 8: the elections that are going to come in the midterm.

486
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 8: You know, the Justices will tell us they want the

487
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 8: Court to be viewed as a political as possible. They

488
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 8: don't want to get involved in looking like they're putting

489
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 8: a weight on the scale in a partisan manner or

490
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 8: any other way. So I don't know where they're going

491
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 8: to do, where they're going to land with this, but

492
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 8: you know, the Chief Justice always tells us when the

493
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 8: opinions are ready, we don't hold them or time them

494
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 8: to meet any kind of specific political or other timeline.

495
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 8: We release them. So they haven't even given us a

496
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 8: date for the next release. But he says they don't

497
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 8: play games with it, that when it's ready, we get it.

498
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: Something I just.

499
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 5: Thought about is we're here talking about matters affecting the

500
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 5: High Court and matters before the High Court. Shannon, whatever

501
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 5: happened to finding out who leaked the Dobbs decision in

502
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 5: advance of the actual decision. Very few people would have

503
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 5: had access to that, and it feels like that just

504
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 5: went nowhere.

505
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 3: Buck.

506
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: I love it.

507
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 8: One of my favorite questions because remember this administration picked

508
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 8: that up. When the Court had the investigation, the Chief

509
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 8: Justice kept it in house, use the Marshall Service, use

510
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 8: their internal workings to get it done. We know some

511
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 8: people were pressed on taking light detector tests and those

512
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 8: kinds of things, but we all know if it was

513
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 8: a clerk, and that's an if we have no idea.

514
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 8: They have these one year terms and if it's an

515
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 8: internal Supreme Court investigation, when they leave at the end

516
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 8: of that clerking term, the court kind of loses its

517
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 8: reach over them. They can't take away their employment, they

518
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 8: can't do anything from that infrastructure. And there are a

519
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 8: lot of critics on the outside who said this should

520
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 8: this should have been farmed out, We should have brought

521
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 8: a DJA or some other federal investigative body.

522
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: To do this.

523
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 8: Well, then you know, when Dan Mongino was part of

524
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 8: the administration, he talked a couple of times about this,

525
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 8: saying the dog's decision is still on our list of investigations,

526
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 8: like we're going to try to find out. So if

527
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 8: the court cooperates with them, that's one thing. But if

528
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 8: the court's not cooperating and turning over all the details

529
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 8: of what their internal investigation found, I'm not sure how

530
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 8: you kind of pick up the threats at this point.

531
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 3: We want you to go buy her book.

532
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: The book is Nothing Is Impossible with God, eleven Heroes

533
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: One God Endless Lessons in Overcoming Shannon Breem. Let me

534
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: hit you with this because I haven't heard this disgust

535
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: in earnest. But a big part of what might happen

536
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: in the Senate is who's going to control it? Right,

537
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: this could be the last year that President Trump has

538
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: control of the United States Senate. Have you heard any

539
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: discussions about the possibility of some of the older justices,

540
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: maybe a Justice Alito, for instance, deciding that this is

541
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: the time to step down because he knows that his

542
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: confirmation would be someone who shares many of his judicial philosophies.

543
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: Whereas if you wait until January, you could end up

544
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: in a situation where Ruth Vader Ginsburg found herself or

545
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: other justices have found themselves, where your health is at

546
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: the beckend call of a political universe. You don't control

547
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: what discussion, if any, is about the Supreme Court right now.

548
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 8: Oh guys, this is one of our favorite parlor games

549
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 8: in DC, especially in the Supreme Court Press corps like

550
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 8: it gives ulcers to all of us trying to figure

551
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 8: this out and figure out what they're going to do,

552
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 8: because you guys, know, these confirmation battles have gotten so

553
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 8: heated the last few rounds that when somebody decides to

554
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 8: step down, it triggers all kinds of pandemonium in DC.

555
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 8: Then you're right, you got to look to the midterms

556
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 8: and see does the Senate lose control, which would make

557
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 8: it really hard. It's already difficult because you're not even

558
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 8: guaranteed all the Republican votes. If you're a Republican voter

559
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 8: who wants to see President Trump to get another appointment,

560
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 8: they don't always stick together either, So you know, it's

561
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 8: a really heavy lift. But I've heard nothing. I mean,

562
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 8: Justice as Thomas and Ledo have both hired their clerks.

563
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 8: They have everything in place that you would think is

564
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 8: going to be in place for future terms. That's something

565
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 8: that they do pretty far in advance. So I haven't

566
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 8: heard any rumblings that anybody's actually thinking about it. We

567
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 8: like to speculate, but my educated guess is that Justice

568
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 8: Thomas is not going to leave the bench by choice.

569
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 8: He's having a good time. He fights every day. I

570
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 8: think when he shows up there every day, he does

571
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 8: it with such glee for his haters that I think

572
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 8: he's somebody who's going to stay as long as possible.

573
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 8: You know, we have no indication that Justice Alito is

574
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 8: even thinking about it, but I think he would step

575
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 8: down before Justice Thomas would, So I think June could

576
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 8: be very interesting months on that front.

577
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, let me hit you with this because I like

578
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 1: to look at the markets, and there are markets right

579
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: now on whether a new Supreme Court justice would be

580
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: confirmed before twenty twenty seven and it's right at sixty percent. Yes,

581
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: So there are people making wagers that somebody Alito is

582
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: the favorite. As you just kind of ran through that,

583
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: you know he might be considering this. And again, you've

584
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: done this for a long time. If you wanted to

585
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: ensure who your replacement was going to be from a

586
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: judicial philosophy perspective, next year meaning this year might be

587
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: the last year where you have some certainty on that

588
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: for some time.

589
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 4: To come right and listen.

590
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 8: As much as the court wants to be a political

591
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 8: they're not blind. Listen. They get the political trends, they

592
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 8: get the political conversation, and you do have to think

593
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 8: about that. Remember when Justice Ginsburg was being pressed so

594
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 8: hard by the left to step down and it made

595
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 8: our dig in her heels. I mean, there were offeds

596
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 8: telling her she had to go, there were law professors

597
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 8: calling for her to go, and she was like, no, sir,

598
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 8: I will go on my own timeline and I'll go

599
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 8: when I'm getting ready. And then the left was so

600
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 8: furious with her obviously passing away. Well, she was still

601
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 8: holding that seats, and you know President Trump's obviously getting

602
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 8: to replace her. So it's a really sore point. But

603
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 8: a lot of people think on the right even listen,

604
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 8: you give deference to these men, who you know are

605
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 8: the more senior members and the conservative wing of the court.

606
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 8: They give in decades of their lives and we should

607
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 8: respect that. So I don't know, and I do think

608
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 8: that that both Thomas and Alito are justices too. If

609
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 8: you pressured them or started saying, hey, time to show

610
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 8: you the door, that would make them stick around. But

611
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 8: they're not dummies about the political calculation, so I got

612
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 8: to imagine that's that's part of their consideration, no doubt.

613
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 5: A new book is Nothing is impossible with God, eleven Heroes,

614
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 5: one God, Endless Lessons and Overcoming. Go get your copy.

615
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 5: Shannon play and Bucker Shannon fans, and we have so

616
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 5: many Shannon fans listening, so I think we're going to

617
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 5: sell a bunch of books today.

618
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: Let us know how it goes well.

619
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 8: Thank you, The feeling is mutual. I would love to

620
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 8: see you guys in person, so hopefully end up in

621
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 8: one of your studios again soon.

622
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 5: And again, congrats, Buck fantastic, Thank you so much.

623
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,800

Speaker 5: I keep saying it. The number one praise that I

672
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,680

675
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 5: You'll appreciate the history. Stuff's really interesting.

676
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: You know.

677
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 5: One thing, Frank, I think you'll appreciate that actually got

678
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 5: cut out.

679
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 3: There's a lot of stuff that got cut out of

680
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 3: the book.

681
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 5: I like my thing about the story of how Lemmings

682
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 5: don't actually commit mass suicide that got cut out.

683
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 3: That's a total telltal. How much longer was the book

684
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 3: before the edits came through?

685
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 5: There were something like I would say eighty pages of

686
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 5: cut cut cut, cut cut generally because it made the

687
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 5: narrative drag too long.

688
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,760
Speaker 3: In some of the chapters.

689
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 5: I wrote way too much about Pavlov and the Soviets

690
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 5: because I got so into it. I thought it was

691
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 5: so interesting. One thing though about Stalin Clay that I

692
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 5: thought was so fascinating was they understood whether they're building

693
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 5: the biggest cult of personality in human history essentially around him,

694
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 5: right totalitarian state. But that there always was also propaganda

695
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 5: that Stalin didn't want it. This is another thing I

696
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 5: didn't It's like, oh, oh, no, comrade Stalin hates all

697
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 5: this attention. He just wants to serve the peasants. He

698
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 5: just wants to serve the workers. Like no, actually he

699
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 5: was making people put the posters up or else he

700
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 5: shoot them in the head. But you know, you learn

701
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,760
Speaker 5: these things from history, and it's fascinating stuff. So Frank,

702
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 5: I appreciate you man, Thank you. History professor likes the book. No,

703
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:43,960

Speaker 1: going to happen at some point this spring before it
