1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,439 Speaker 1: Welcome back in play Travis buck Sexton Show. Okay, yesterday 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: during the program, Pam Bondy Attorney General out. Not even 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: very much discussion today about the fact that President Trump 4 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 1: moved on from his attorney general yesterday. These are the 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: names that are at the top right now of the 6 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: poly market who will be the next attorney general prediction markets, Buck, 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to hit these for you. We talked about 8 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: a variety of different names. Leez Elden is a pretty 9 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: big favorite fifty three percent right now, coin flip, but 10 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: he's the favorite to be the next attorney general. He 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: is the current EPA head. Then you have Todd Blanche, 12 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: who is the interim was working as the second in 13 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: charge of the Department of Justice. Has now been elevated. 14 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: For those of you certainly who remember Todd Blanche was 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: President Trump's private attorney during much of the criminal mess 16 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: that he had when he was not in office. They 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: seem to have a very good relationship. And then in 18 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: third place, twenty five percent chance right now that it 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: will be Todd Blanche. In third place Judge Janine Piro, 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: who is right now the head of the DC Attorney's 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: Office that has been prosecuting as the district attorney basically 22 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: of the district of Columbia many of those cases. Obviously 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: also very well known to many of you as a 24 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: panelist on The Five, which is the most popular show 25 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: on Cable before she was elevated into this job. A 26 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: couple of other names that are out there. They are 27 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: substantial underdogs. Ken Paxton. Now I don't know Buck if 28 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: Ken Paxton could be confirmed by the United States Senate. 29 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: He is the current Attorney General of Texas. He's been 30 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: on this program many times. He is running against John 31 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: Cornyn in the Senate primary. This would be kind of 32 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: a master stroke for Trump. Paxton has been a long 33 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: time ally of President Trump. If he were able, and 34 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if he would be able to, but 35 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: if he were able to be confirmed by the Senate, 36 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: remember we only have fifty three votes, so you assume 37 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 1: unified opposition from Democrats. kN Paxton maybe could be an 38 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: incredible choice because it would end the Senate battle in 39 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: Texas and basically take Texas and the amount of money 40 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: that's going to be spent between now in late May 41 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: off the table and kind of put Tallarico down in 42 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: a way that he would be unlikely to win. It 43 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: ends the acrimony of the primary kin Paxton would get 44 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: a more important I would argue job as the attorney 45 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 1: General than he has right now in the Senate. Those 46 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: are the top four. You and I talked about the 47 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: fact that we thought Ron DeSantis would be an amazing 48 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: attorney general. I'll stand by that if they wanted to 49 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: go in the Senate, Mike Lee could make a lot 50 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: of sense because theoretically he would be easy to confirm. 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: That's kind of what I would say. Top five or 52 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: six you mentioned HARMEI, Dylan. Where do you see this going? 53 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,839 Speaker 1: Do you think the favorites? Do you think it's very 54 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: likely it's going to be Lee, Zelden and or Todd 55 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: Blanche That's about a eighty five percent chance according to 56 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: the prediction market. So or do you think Trump could 57 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: just go off the board. 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: I think that Trump is running yet another episode of 59 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: The Apprentice, the Apprentice Department of Justice, meaning that he 60 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: wants everyone to be in a tizzy running around thinking 61 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: about who could be, who will be? You know, the 62 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: only person who knows Clay is Donald Trump. I think 63 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: that he's probably still considering what his options are. He's 64 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: going to listen to different voices over the days ahead. 65 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: I think all of these options are strong, the ones 66 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: that he's talking about, and I don't think Ron DeSantis, 67 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: I don't think he will be asked, nor do I 68 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: think he would take the up, quite honestly, for a 69 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: bunch of reasons. 70 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this by the way to storry 71 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: to cut you off. But I get a lot of 72 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: responses on this. What is Ron DeSantis going to do? 73 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: He is an elite political talent who has transformed the 74 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: state of Florida in his eight years. His term ends 75 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: in November. He's not going to run again. Byron Donald's, 76 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 1: I believe, is going to be the next governor of 77 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: the great State of Florida. I think Byron Donald is 78 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: going to do a good job. But Ron DeSantis come November, basically, 79 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: I know he'll serve until January when we have a 80 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: sworn in swearing in occurring of the new governor. What 81 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: is he going to do? Well? 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: The easiest thing would be to go into the private 83 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: sector and make a whole bunch of money, which I 84 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 2: think he could easily do. The less easy thing that 85 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: I actually think is the more likely thing, is that 86 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: he will run for president, but he'll run for presidents, 87 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 2: as Ron De Santis would saying, Hey, I think I'd 88 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: be the best for this job, but I'd also be 89 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: a great secretary of State. 90 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: Under a JD. 91 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: Vance or a Marco Rubio or whatever administration. So I 92 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: think he's going to run. I think he's gonna run 93 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: because I think now we've seen running for president and 94 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: this has been played out many times in recent elections 95 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 2: going back now decades. Running for president is a brand 96 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: enhancing and sometimes cabinet cabinet position enabling maneuver. 97 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: So why not. So that's what I think he's so sorry, 98 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: I mean, and basically, as we have talked about it, 99 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: sounds like he would be out of office. But the 100 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: presidential primary starts basically in January of twenty seven, when 101 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: people come out of Christmas and New Year's. The twenty 102 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: twenty eight presidential cycle will begin by January, February March. 103 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: Everybody will be announcing that they are going to be 104 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: running for president. We'll see how many they are end 105 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: up actually being. 106 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: I hope everyone enjoyed the one year of Trump's first 107 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: or Trump's second term where we weren't essentially gearing up 108 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 2: for either a midterm or a presidential election, because that's 109 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 2: the way that this goes. We had one year and 110 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: now we're in the midterm year, yes, and then it's 111 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: going to be the beginning of the presidential cycle, so 112 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: we're going to be jumping in this right away. But yeah, 113 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: I think I think Ron's going to run, and I 114 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 2: think very much in the way that you know, he 115 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: even ran the last time, which obviously didn't work against Trump, 116 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 2: didn't work very well at all. But he'll run on Hey, guys, 117 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: I think I'm great for the job, but he's not. 118 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: It's he doesn't. 119 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 2: He's not gonna get ugly with fellow Republicans. I think 120 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: he'll probably be if he does run, and I'm right, 121 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: he'll be smiling at Rubio on the stage. 122 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: Again. 123 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: I don't even know. There's a lot of talk as 124 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: to whether JD or Rubio is the heir apparent. I 125 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: don't really have a I think they're both really solid choices. 126 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: I don't really have a dog in that fight. Some 127 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: people feel very very strongly about it. I'm somewhat agnostic. 128 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 2: I think they're both right. If I thought Woe was 129 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: much weaker than the other I'd have a strong opinion 130 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: on it, but right now I want to see that 131 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 2: play out. But I think, yeah, Ron would be somebody 132 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: who if he were to run again, it would be, hey, 133 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: let's see what kind of traction I get slash. He 134 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: would be a really good age or Secretary State. I 135 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: don't think he wants to be the age at the 136 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: end of Trump's second term. Quite honestly, that's where he 137 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 2: doesn't want to go. 138 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: Let me give you one. It's a sad story. Justice Alito. 139 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: Report came down sounds like he's fine, but he was 140 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,239 Speaker 1: hospitalized in March after a Federalist related issue with his health. 141 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: They said he was dehydrated. He had to be taken 142 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: to the hospital. If you are looking at the landscape 143 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: of available candidates for the Supreme Court and you are 144 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: trying to avoid a Katanji Brown Jackson situation, I think 145 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: Ron de Santis would be an incredible Supreme Court justice. 146 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: I don't know that anybody else has ever said this. 147 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: Alito and Clarence Thomas. He has a good relationship with both. 148 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that he would want it. I haven't 149 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: talked to Ron de Santis about this, but I'll tell 150 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: you a story. I don't think I've told this story 151 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: on the air before. DeSantis is a legal nerd, and 152 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: that's not an attack. That is an as an endorsement. 153 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: He reads the actual opinions as one should as the 154 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: chief executive of a state. He is a strong legal scholar. 155 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: Some people would prefer at times to be immersed in 156 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: the policy details, the challenges of legalities. Other people kind 157 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: of float above it. I don't think Trump is sitting 158 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: down pouring through Supreme Court justices like opinions, saying what 159 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: can you believe this footnote? Is this dicta or is 160 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: this the official opinion? I know he was at the 161 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: argument on Wednesday. I think he gets the big picture impact. 162 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he goes into the nitty gritty. I 163 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: think Rondasantis is the nitty gritty guy. I think Ronda 164 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: Santis as a replacement for Alito or if Clarence Thomas. 165 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: These guys are both seventy five plus ish and buck. 166 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: We may lose the Senate, and nobody else wants to 167 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: talk about the fact that if we lose the Senate, 168 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: Trump has no ability to appoint new Supreme Court justices, 169 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: and who knows when the Republicans will have the Senate 170 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,439 Speaker 1: and the Presidency again. I maybe I feel like I'm 171 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: the only person like hitting this button and talking about it. 172 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: But we saw what happened with Ruth bader Ginsburg. When 173 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: you get to be seventy five, if you're having every 174 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: now and then a little bit of a health condition, 175 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: it can turn in a hurry and next thing you know, 176 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: Ruth bader Ginsburg is getting replaced by Amy Cony Barrett. 177 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: And that reverse could happen right Clarence Thomas could be 178 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 1: replaced by the equivalent of Katanji Brown Jackson if Democrats 179 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: have the ability to do this same thing with Justice Alito, 180 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: I think there needs to be a real discussion behind 181 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: closed doors about health and whether in the summer it 182 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: could make sense when this term ends in June to 183 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: have a Supreme Court confirmation. And I'll just toss that 184 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: out there. The timing would be perfect on Iron DeSantis 185 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court. Have you heard anybody else ever 186 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: make that suggestion or have I blown your mind with 187 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: this idea? 188 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 2: No, that's up there with Linda from Arizona talking about 189 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 2: deploying ice if this were to happen, I've never heard 190 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 2: anyone talk about Ron for the Supreme Court. 191 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: So that would be quite as forty five, forty six 192 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: years old. So you got a long runway young, right 193 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: as judges would go. I think it could make a 194 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: ton of sense. 195 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 196 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: Interesting, I can see that more than Ted Ted Cruse 197 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: wants to be president, you and I really wants to 198 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: be president, would be in agreement that Ted CRU's going 199 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: to run for president twenty twenty eight, I mean period, 200 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: It'll start running in January of twenty seven. Yeah. 201 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: People are going to say, oh, but what about there's 202 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: not the same feeling about this which we all very 203 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 2: much heard when people ran, including Ronda Santis, against Trump. 204 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: It was it's not their time. It has to be Trump. 205 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: It has to be Trump. I do there is not 206 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 2: a unified voice of the Republican Party that I think 207 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: is going to insist that there is only one going forward. 208 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 2: I haven't seen that. Maybe Trump. The only way that 209 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: changes is if Trump says, everyone maga JD or Marco. 210 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: But assume it's JD. 211 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: JD is my guy. He is the You know. 212 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: Trump would have to do that in a very clear, 213 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: very concern. I don't know if he'll do that. I 214 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 2: think if he just kind of says, you know, I'm 215 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 2: gonna let MAGA decide. It's up to them, you know, 216 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 2: let the Republican base do what it does. I think 217 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: you're gonna have a lot of people run. Actually, I'm 218 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 2: gonna be much more interesting. There's only one Trump, right, 219 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a different thing. No one else is Trump. 220 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a crazy take part two that 221 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: no one else has said that. I don't think anybody 222 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: else has said. I think there's a possibility that Marco 223 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: Rubio would rather be commissioner of the NFL after his 224 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: Secretary of State run than vice president, because I think 225 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: he's doing a tremendous job as secretary of State. We've 226 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: talked about VP. You know, there's the talk of hey, 227 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: Marco's gonna run with JD. I don't know that Marco 228 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: Rubio wants to be vice president. I think he might 229 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: see it as a demotion relative to what he gets 230 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: to do right now as Secretary of State. I think 231 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: he might be done with government. To Marco Rubio's credit, 232 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: he's never made any money. He's in his fifties, and 233 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: everybody out there used to talk about Condoleezza Rice wanting 234 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: to be one day the NFL commissioner. Roger Goodell may 235 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: oh you never heard that story. Oh yeah, UNS Secretary 236 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: of State Condiliz a Rice. He was a top candidate 237 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: in the public arena to be the commissioner of the NFL. 238 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 2: This I do know. Goodell makes like forty or something 239 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: million a year. 240 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: I think there is an argument that the best job 241 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: in America is commissioner of the NFL when you consider 242 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: the amount of money they make, the fact that you're 243 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: selling something that everybody loves football. I think Marco Rubio 244 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: could be the when Roger Goodell steps down. Remember Goodell's 245 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: dad used to be a Senator. I mean, he's of 246 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: political you know, backround in many ways. I think Marco 247 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: Rubio could be the next NFL commissioner, and I think 248 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: he would prefer that. This is where people are going 249 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: to say, you're crazy. I'd rather be NFL commissioner than 250 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: Vice President's I think I would too. I mean, if 251 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: you gave me the choice right now, would you rather 252 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: be VP? And I say it only in the context 253 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: of Marco is getting to do the secretary of state 254 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: job at an elite level. Vice president, you're kind of 255 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: just floating around there right, especially vice president. I think 256 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: JD has found this to be a tough spot. When 257 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: the president is the sun, the moon, the stars, you're 258 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: sort of a secondary by far satellite there. Marco Rubio 259 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: as a Secretary of State and sorry as next NFL 260 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: commissioner and Ron DeSantis's next Supreme Court justice. If I 261 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: hit both those, Buck, I might have to retire, because 262 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: I don't know that would InCred a more incredible predictions. 263 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 2: If you're looking for a better night's sleep, sometimes it's 264 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 2: as simple as getting better sheets.

One pilot retrieved 286 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: successfully after apparent shootdown of an F fifteen in Iran. 287 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: We will continue to monitor this and bring you any 288 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 2: updates on it that we have something that I think 289 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 2: is going to well. 290 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: Hopefully going in this. 291 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: Easter weekend, we'll have both them back safe and sound 292 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: and can at least move to the next next thing 293 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 2: we have to look at in this conflict, which continues on. 294 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: Clay. We have much in the economy I think to. 295 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: Look at as very powerful, very strong right now, despite 296 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: the fact that there are some high gas prices. We 297 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: played this one before. This is from the first hour, 298 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: but just hit it again. US economy adding one hundred 299 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: and seventy eight thousand jobs in Marcius has cut one. 300 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: The expectation was, what sixty thousand jobs, and it's one 301 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: seventy eight. 302 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 4: Wow. 303 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, Look the job market bound back in a big. 304 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: Way in margin. That is good news. Really blowing away expectations, Clay. 305 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: I think one challenge that Trump administration has had from 306 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: the very beginning with all of this is they're really 307 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: they're almost victims of the of their own success. The 308 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: expectation is that the Trump economy will be strong, There'll 309 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: be job growth, stock market boom, all kinds of productivity 310 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: on the on the rise, and the American people becoming 311 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: overall more prosperous in a lot of ways that can 312 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: be measured. I know, prices continue to be a major 313 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 2: concern for people out there. This is the challenge of 314 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: spending trillions of dollars with the COVID madness that we 315 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: should not have spent because we should not have shut 316 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 2: down at all, and the whole thing was was just 317 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 2: a disaster, a debacle from top to bottom. With the 318 00:16:55,360 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: government response to all of this, here we have, you know, 319 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 2: a moment in time Clay where I think The reality 320 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 2: of the Trump economy is apparent in that it is 321 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: so strong that we don't hear much in the way 322 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 2: of criticism about it, and the people that would love 323 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: to talk about what a total mishandling of the economy 324 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: has occurred on Trump's watch have to say or really 325 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 2: have to say nothing, because there's not a whole lot 326 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 2: that they can attack here. The price issue is still 327 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 2: very annoying, and certainly the price on gas. I think 328 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: gas prices are going to go down, and I think 329 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: the overall issue of prices is really still a hangover 330 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: from COVID. You have the highest inflation in forty years 331 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: under Biden, you got trillions of dollars of completely unnecessary spending, 332 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: and we have not dealt with the spending. Really, that's 333 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 2: just the truth of it that if you're going to 334 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: criticize something, it's that both parties refuse to stop spending 335 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: too much money and getting. 336 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: Us deeper into the debthole. That's one hundred percent accurate. 337 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: I will say sometimes I think we don't notice some 338 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: of the positive, transformative things that have happened in the 339 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: early days of Trump two point zero, and I actually 340 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: see these two things linked one we hit one hundred 341 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: and twenty five year low in murders, which should be 342 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: what are the great all time accomplishments. Right if you said, hey, 343 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: we're going to have fewer murders than at any point 344 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 1: since nineteen hundred, it seems like that should be like 345 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: a really good thing. So, you know, it's interesting. 346 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: I spoke to and this is actually maybe a pitch 347 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 2: for the play in block podcast network. I spoke to 348 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: a friend, Raphael Manguel of the Manhattan Institute. He's their 349 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: criminal justice senior fellow analyst writer Thinker, and I spoke 350 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,959 Speaker 2: to about this yesterday. Cles I said, so we're really 351 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 2: at the lowest and he says, by the way, the 352 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 2: answer to your is yes, yes, certainly the lowest in 353 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 2: like sixty seventy years. I mean, they're saying one hundred 354 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 2: and twenty. The statistics at some point are not apparently 355 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: that really reliable if you go back far enough. But 356 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say that murders, although wasn't 357 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 2: there a huge spike in murders during prohibition with and 358 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 2: component and all that for anyway, but per capital, I. 359 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: Mean, I think you could go back in time and 360 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: say the Wild West in a pre nineteen hundred era. 361 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: I think they had a lot of murders, you know, 362 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: like I think the murder rate in Tombstone was probably 363 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: pretty high compared to Phoenix today, for instance, in Arizona. Right, 364 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: what was it? I want I have to look at that. 365 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: I've never really Oh yeah, I think the murder rate 366 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: was off the charts back in the day. And by 367 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: the way, you also just had people disappear, so I 368 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: don't know that we even found dead bodies that well, 369 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, back in the day. Think about how easy 370 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: it would have been to get away with it. 371 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 2: Back in the day before before video cameras, phones, forensic analysis, fingerprinting, 372 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 2: all of these things, it would have been you know, 373 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: ballistics analysis would have been pretty easy to get away 374 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 2: with all kinds of bad stuff. But this was interesting 375 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: is when I was talking to Raphael about this, and 376 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: you can listen to this on the Buck Brief from 377 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 2: the clam Buck podcast network. He said that there are 378 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: that in the Trump the Trump program has worked. But 379 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 2: to talk about why the Trump program of low and 380 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 2: crime has worked, you have to look at the specific 381 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 2: places where it has been deployed. Memphis, DC, and they 382 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 2: have really done a phenomenal job. Memphis is a great example, 383 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 2: murder rate down forty percent. But they have used federal 384 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: resources that have been really collaborating with local resources, so 385 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: that gets around some of the you know, you'll have 386 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 2: basically have feds and cops in the same you know, 387 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: car or going around together working on gang issues things 388 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 2: like that. So that's been brilliant and that has absolutely worked. 389 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 2: There's some broader though, trends about the murder rate right now. 390 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: For example, and he noted this, I thought this was interesting. 391 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 2: I had never heard anyone make this case before. There's 392 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: been a precipitous drop in drinking in this country. Yeah, 393 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 2: and I'm not trying to be uh, you know, church 394 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 2: later over here, like put down that beer, but there's 395 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: been a precipitous lowering of drinking in recent years, and 396 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: particularly among younger you know, youngish people. And who commits murders. 397 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 2: What's overwhelming people eighteen to thirty five. I mean that's 398 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: really where most of the that's where most of the 399 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 2: shootings are happening. 400 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, the most of the young men, young men who 401 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: are pre marriage age sixteen to forty is like every murder, right. 402 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 2: So I'm not saying, you know, if you're sitting on 403 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: the on the veranda this weekend enjoying a nice glass 404 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 2: of bullet or something, you know, is that a good one? 405 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: Is that? Is that a Look I'm a Buffalo Trace 406 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 1: Family bourbon guy, so I'll probably have an old fashion 407 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: at some point this weekend. 408 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 2: If you're a fifty five year old the enjoying an 409 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: old fashion this weekend, no one's saying you're gonna go 410 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 2: incredible hulk, rip your shirt off and get super violent. 411 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: But yes, bullet is a nice is a good choice? Oh, 412 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: there we go. 413 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 2: So you know that that's one that I think, for example, 414 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 2: I think that's an interesting case to be made. 415 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: He says. 416 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 2: The data backs this up that the drop and drinking 417 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 2: broadly speaking, results in less violence and specifically less murder. Yeah, 418 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 2: so that's that's act and also a lot less He 419 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 2: said that people because of remote work, there is less 420 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: concentration of people in cities in some places, and particularly 421 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: in places like people aren't on mass transit in the 422 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 2: same numbers. People aren't having the same level of contact 423 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 2: with each other because of so much more remote work, 424 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 2: and that that has I just thought this is really interesting. 425 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 2: I never thought of this before. And this is a 426 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: guy all he does look at the numbers. I shoud 427 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 2: probably invite him on the show. 428 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, and we should have him on to 429 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: do a deep dive on this because I think that's 430 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: super interesting. 431 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: But also, and here's the really big one, the overall 432 00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 2: incarcerated population under Trump has been going up. Yeah, that's 433 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 2: really now the other ones, the other ones are just 434 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 2: kind of interesting data nerd stuff, but that's really keep bad, scary, 435 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: violent criminals off the streets Clay. This is the big difference, 436 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 2: and this is Trump US attorneys because remember any drug stuff, 437 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 2: gangs can be hit with RICO. Any major drug crimes 438 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 2: are federal a lot of the time. If you're involved 439 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 2: with a drug gang, you're carrying a weapon illegally and 440 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 2: you're selling drugs, that's federal. There's a lot of stuff 441 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 2: that falls under federal jurisdiction. And so it's whether the 442 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 2: US attorneys that Trump has appointed are willing to enforce 443 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 2: the law meaningfully or not. The answer is yes, and 444 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: people are getting locked up in Clay. Murder rate gone 445 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 2: down a lot, It is possible. 446 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: So that is occurring, Buck, and I would actually connect 447 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: it with this one, because it's also incredibly transformative, and 448 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: it's not getting very much attention either. Fewest federal employees 449 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: because we added one hundred and seventy eight thousand new 450 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: jobs this morning was the was the official March number. 451 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: But simultaneously we've been firing a lot of people who 452 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: worked in federal government such that and this is kind 453 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: of a crazy stat Again, it should be getting a 454 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: lot of attention right now. We have the fewest federal 455 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: employees since nineteen sixty six, not per capita, the fewest 456 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: federal employees, our tax dollars paying for federal employees since 457 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six. And I know everybody wanted to tap 458 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: dance on Elon Musk and DOGE, and it's frustrating that 459 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: a lot of the DOGE spending excesses were not ratified 460 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: into law. I'm not signifying that's not significant. But the 461 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: decision to go after the federal workforce and basically say hey, 462 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: we'll pay you to leave and go find a job 463 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: somewhere else. We don't need taxpayer dollars to be able 464 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: to be continuing to do it. Don't you think that's 465 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: kind of interesting? Sometimes it's hard to think big picture, 466 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: because in the day to day there's so much noise, 467 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: and it's like we have a fire hose of data 468 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: that's spraying out every day, and it's hard to be 469 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: on top of things. Two things that happened in the 470 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: last year lowest murder rates since nineteen hundred, fewest federal 471 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: employees since nineteen sixty six. Both of those are really 472 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: transformative data points which are very beneficial. Now buck is 473 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: thirty nine trillion dollars in debt still weigh too much. Yes, 474 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: do Democrats and Republicans join hands and just spend money 475 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: like drunken sailors? Yes? Are their major structural issues with 476 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: the level of debt that we have set in place 477 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: in the United States? Yes, But I do think it's 478 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: worth looking at some of these green shoots of positivity 479 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: in Trump's first year and saying, hey, we should really 480 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: kind of sometimes this gets snowed under in all the noise. 481 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: Who's going to be the next stage E, what's going 482 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: to happen with the Supreme Court. I've got a data 483 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: point for you on that coming back out of the 484 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: next break. But I do think these are pretty significant 485 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: details that are not going to get the attention they should. 486 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 3: So. 487 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: Yes, it is in fact the case I look this up, Clay, 488 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 2: that you're talking about a twenty one percent decline in 489 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: the US national homicide rate from from twenty twenty four 490 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 2: through twenty twenty five. That's the one we obviously have 491 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 2: the complete year data from. You're looking at about four 492 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 2: to one hundred thousand residents, So it's four per hundred 493 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: thousand people murders in the United States? Is that I'm 494 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 2: just reading this off of you know, AI as we're 495 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 2: going here, I believe that's potentially the lowest since at 496 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 2: least nineteen hundred. 497 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying, one hundred and twenty five 498 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: year low. And again, no, I questioned in nineteen oh four, 499 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: were we great at counting murders? I have a suspicion 500 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: that maybe you could have gotten away with in nineteen 501 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: oh four compared to now. 502 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,719 Speaker 2: The twenty twenty five drop was especially steep in thirty 503 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: one of thirty five large cities tracked by the Council 504 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: on Criminal Justice, forty percent plus drops in Denver, Omaha, 505 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: and Watnout Washington, d C. 506 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: Of course, part of the Trump program. 507 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 2: Clay, A big part of this is just going after 508 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 2: and this is I think something that you know, we 509 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 2: should bring cash betel Back team reach out to a 510 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 2: director Patel because I want to talk to him about this. 511 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: I want to hear from the FBI side. I don't 512 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 2: think they're getting enough credit for this. I think more 513 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 2: needs to be made of this. Think about how many 514 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 2: lives we're talking about, thousands of lives being saved by 515 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: change in policy here. 516 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: And I always have to point this out to people too. 517 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course you're saving a life, that's the most 518 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 2: important thing, but you're also saving with each life saved. 519 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: In this case, you're talking about a family that still 520 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 2: has a dad, a son, a brother. Yeah, so think 521 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 2: of how it affects all of them. A community that 522 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 2: doesn't have to go to a horrific funeral for someone 523 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 2: who's you know, twenty years old and was shot. I mean, 524 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 2: this story so I can't even talk about it. A 525 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 2: story is baby was killed in Brooklyn and a shooting. 526 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this. 527 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 2: Horrible stuff that happens. Every time something like that is averted, 528 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 2: it's such a a blessing. I think the Jewish word 529 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 2: is mitzvah. It's like, it's such a beautiful thing. Yiddish word, 530 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: you know, And it's something that the administration needs to 531 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 2: be talking to people about more because this needs to 532 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 2: be the way it is going forward. 533 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, people who are bad, who are. 534 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 2: Violent criminals, who are a threat to society, need to 535 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 2: be the first, the top priority, the number one priority 536 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 2: of the FBI. Not people that showed up and took 537 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 2: a selfie in the Capitol building for forty five seconds 538 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: and walked out after they had been guided in by 539 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: law enforcement officers, which happened to a lot of people. Okay, 540 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 2: that's not actually the top priority of the FBI. Thirty 541 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 2: percent of FBI officers Clay were in some way working 542 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: on January sixth adjacent cases. 543 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: People are being raped and murdered on this streets. 544 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 2: Yes, they're gang members that are torturing people on video 545 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 2: and sending it to you know, to rival factions. And 546 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 2: we got they're chasing down Granny's in there with their 547 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: fanny packs on because they walked into Statuary Hall for 548 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 2: a second. I mean, you know, really, he's what your 549 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 2: Biden FBI was doing. It's it's it's disgraceful. 550 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: Lowest in one hundred and twenty five years twenty twenty 551 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: five buck. Let me hit you with this data in 552 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: d C right now, compared to last season last year, 553 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: a sixty six percent decline in murders year over year. 554 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: DC is on pace to be the safest maybe that 555 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: it has ever been in the history of Washington d C. 556 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: Certainly on a per capita basis, but maybe on a 557 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: raw data basis. Remember when President Trump called in the 558 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: National Guard. Everybody said, you're crazy, there's no impact that's 559 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: going to happen here, or they lied and said crime 560 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: wasn't bad. Sixty six percent decline in murder since last year. 561 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: We just don't have to allow murders. I I think 562 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: that's what we're learning from Memphis and Washington DC. We 563 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: know what we can do, and we can drive it 564 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: down in a substantial way.

We are 591 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: joined now by Mike Rogers. He is going to be 592 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: the Senate candidate for Republicans running this fall in Michigan 593 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: for an open Senate seed. There, let's bring him in 594 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: that election. I believe in Michigan and he can correct 595 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. Is August fourth, and in particular Georgia, 596 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: New Hampshire, and Michigan, among others, but those are right 597 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: now Democrat held seats. Mike, we want you to win. 598 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: If you win, then there's a virtual certainty Republicans would 599 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: retain control of the Senate. Because I would imagine you 600 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: would agree with this. There's almost no map where Democrats 601 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: lose their Michigan seat and are able to take a 602 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 1: majority in the Senate. So this is both important in Michigan, 603 00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: but it's also supremely important nationwide. 604 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the number one pickup opportunity in the country. 605 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 3: We're leading all three Democrat candidates and head to head polling, 606 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 3: so they have a primary. It's going to go all 607 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 3: the way to August fourth, which is really late. We've 608 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 3: eliminated our primary. The whole team is on board and 609 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 3: backed this particular race, which is why we're the number 610 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 3: one pickup opportunity. So that's huge, and you're right. When 611 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,479 Speaker 3: we win Michigan, they can't take back the Senate. So 612 00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 3: if you're looking for a place to invest in a 613 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 3: race to make a difference for the future of the country, 614 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 3: Michigan is it. This is the place to If you 615 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 3: have a few coins left in the back of those cushions, fellas, 616 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 3: this is the place to send that money. 617 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 2: So it's great that you're the Trump endorsed candidate up 618 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 2: there in Michigan. That'll obviously have a lot of residence 619 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 2: with the GOP faithful there can you speak to in 620 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 2: your state independence swing voters? What do they look like 621 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 2: as a cohort? Is the primary issue for them? Just economics? 622 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 2: You know, what do you have to do essentially to 623 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 2: get over the line here? Yeah, it's like every election turnout, 624 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 2: of course really matters. But if you're reaching those who 625 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 2: are not just going to say this is Trump's guy, 626 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to vote for him, what are those voters 627 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 2: in Michigan look like and how do you reach them? 628 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so this is going to be that jobs economy, 629 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 3: wrong track for Michigan. This is a change election and 630 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 3: that's what I think the national fundents may have missed. 631 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 3: The governor has been a Democrat for the last decade, 632 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 3: better part of a decade, and they've had these two 633 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 3: Senate seats day the Democrats for thirty years. We've lost 634 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 3: thirty thousand manufacturing jobs. Our defense industrial base operations have 635 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 3: moved south. We went from top tier education in the country, 636 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 3: we're now forty four. Our wage median wage has kind 637 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 3: of flattened out in Michigan. So I've worked on a 638 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 3: factory floor, I have been in the military, I have 639 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 3: been in the private sector. What we're saying is this 640 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 3: is the time for change. You want Michigan backup, offer 641 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 3: knees and building things again. I'm the guy to get 642 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 3: it done, and we have a plan to make housing 643 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 3: more affordable. It doesn't include a big government, new government program. 644 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 3: We have a way to push down on prices and 645 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 3: recapture the defense industrial based jobs that we lost over 646 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 3: the last few years. That's all coming back to Michigan. 647 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 3: We will once again be the arsenal of democracy. So 648 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 3: when you look at independence, they just want a better education, 649 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 3: they want a better job opportunity, and they want their 650 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 3: kids to make the choice to stay in Michigan. And 651 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 3: we're going to do all those things. 652 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: Three way race. You just hit on it between well 653 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: funded Democrat candidates. You don't even know who your opponent's 654 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: going to be. You won't know until August fourth, how 655 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: much hey can you make given that you're the guy 656 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: while they fight it out. And again, August fourth is 657 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: a really late primary. You know, by the time their 658 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: primary is decided, there's almost the early voting that's going 659 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: to be underway. They're going to have to spend a 660 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: lot of money to pick a nominee, and then that 661 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: nominee is going to have to spend a ton of 662 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: money to make people aware of who he or she is. 663 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, we just had a controversy come 664 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: out of the Democrat side. One of their candidates, a 665 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: guy named Abdul el Sayed, didn't want to condemn the 666 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: killing of the ayah Toola because too many people, he 667 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: said in Dearborn were sad about it, and that actually 668 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: made him go up in the Democrat party, this is 669 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: pretty radical group that you're running against. 670 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 3: Very radical, and think about it. He's now the standard 671 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 3: bearer for the party. He's got more Act Blue donations 672 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 3: because of his embracing the Ayahtola and by the way, 673 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 3: that came on the heels of him saying that the individual, 674 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 3: the terrorist who tried to kill one hundred and forty 675 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 3: Jewish school children in Michigan by driving his car loaded 676 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 3: with explosives into a synagogue. He said, well, if we 677 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 3: weren't at war, he probably wouldn't have done that. Anyway. 678 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 3: This is a guy whose father was or excuse me, 679 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 3: brother was a commander in Hesbela, a terrorist organization. Oh 680 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 3: and by the way, he had been radicalized months before 681 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 3: his brother had been killed in an Israeli strike. I 682 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,040 Speaker 3: mean that, just to me is unqualifying. If you're willing 683 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 3: to stand with a terrorist, if you're willing to stand 684 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 3: with the Ayatola, the leading terrorist sponsor in the world, man, 685 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 3: I just think that makes you unqualified. He's endorsed by 686 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders, very radical. All of his numbers went up. 687 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 3: That's why people need to pay attention to place likelyan. 688 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 3: You cannot allow the Democrats that are this radical getting 689 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 3: traction in a place like Michigan. It would be devastating 690 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 3: for us. And so we got a lot of work 691 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 3: to do. But the other two aren't any better. One 692 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 3: is you know, one is a Chuck Schumer candidate. The 693 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 3: other one has Chris Murphy as their benefactor. They've covered 694 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 3: the gamut of radical politics in America, and that's why 695 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 3: this race becomes even more important to let that part 696 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 3: of the Democrat Party, which candidly the three parts of 697 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 3: it is all of it that they're not going to 698 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 3: gain ground in a working class state like Michigan. And 699 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 3: trust me, I worked on a car factory floor. I 700 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 3: know these people. I know how important these jobs are 701 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 3: to the middle class in Michigan. That's why I think 702 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 3: we're going to do exceptionally well. And I think that's 703 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 3: why we're leading. You know, it's pretty rare for a 704 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 3: Republican to lead the Democrat ok right, candidates just early. 705 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 3: Normally we close the gap towards the end we're ahead. 706 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 3: We got to keep that momentum, let them fight it 707 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 3: out between now in August. Why we continue to build 708 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,359 Speaker 3: support around the state and build our team as well. 709 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 2: Mike, what do you think about what's going on in 710 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 2: Iron Obviously we're still waiting to hear if the second 711 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 2: pilot has been retrieved safely. One pilot has been has 712 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:29,240 Speaker 2: been rescued after his plane was downed in this conflict. 713 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: In the situation, what can you tell us. 714 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think, boy, it's really hard when 715 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 3: you have to justify every minute of the war. I 716 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,919 Speaker 3: think for the president, it's unfortunate. I hope they found 717 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 3: the second get the second pilot. They've rescued the first one, 718 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 3: which tells you that's an incredible feat in and of itself. 719 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 3: It wasn't that long after they were shot down that 720 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 3: they had that one pilot in custody or retrieved. You 721 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 3: think about what's this phase of the warfare. It's going 722 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 3: closer to the ground and it's not stealth fighting. So 723 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,399 Speaker 3: that first part of this conflict in the last month 724 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 3: has all been stell fighter, stealth bombers, stealth fighters delivering 725 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 3: payloads that are absolutely decimating the enemy like nowhere else 726 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 3: in the world that has ever really seen. And so 727 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 3: this next phase, it's clear to me that they're using 728 00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 3: lower capable aircraft. The F fifteen E series can be 729 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 3: lower It can you know, find smaller targets on the 730 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 3: ground and engage them. And that's what that tells me. 731 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 3: So with that, you know, you have certain shoulder fired 732 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 3: missiles that they can have. You know, it's those are 733 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:36,839 Speaker 3: hard to get all of them. You know, you can 734 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 3: get a lucky shot, and that sounds like what happened today. 735 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 3: But we have to remember this is just a phase, 736 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 3: and I'm sure they'll address the US will adjust tactics 737 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 3: because of this, but it just tells you how successful 738 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 3: that now they're looking for targets with the ability to 739 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 3: have low flying aircraft is. We walk away from this with. 740 00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 5: A degraded, if not eliminated, nuclear program, capability ballistic missiles, 741 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 5: which by the way, made them so dangerous in such 742 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 5: terrorist proxy lovers across the Middle. 743 00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 3: East, that's gone. The drone program is decimated and really 744 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 3: hard to reconstitute. Being able to build and deploy mines 745 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,120 Speaker 3: in the straits decimated hard to That's a huge win 746 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 3: for safety and security of the region and certainly the 747 00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 3: United States. For forty seven years, we've had every president 748 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 3: seven I think, talk about we're going to contain Iran. 749 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 3: Matter of fact, Hillary Clinton said when she became president 750 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,600 Speaker 3: she was going to bomb them. People seem to forget that. 751 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 3: This is the first president that has said, listen, we're 752 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,120 Speaker 3: not going to let you get a nuclear weapon. We 753 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,360 Speaker 3: decimated your program, you came right back and tried to 754 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 3: rebuild it within days. That tells you we had a problem. 755 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 3: We're not going to do this forever. I think this 756 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 3: is the right thing to do. I do think it 757 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 3: will be over quickly because the military piece of this, 758 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,919 Speaker 3: they're getting down to the last targets, which is why 759 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 3: you have these low flying aircraft. 760 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: Last question for you. You mentioned this a second ago, the 761 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: attempted to error attack thankfully was foiled on a Jewish 762 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: synagogue in Oakland County. My wife's family, many of them 763 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,360 Speaker 1: live in Oakland County. I was just up for a 764 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: bar and bought mitzvah in Oakland County. It's a huge 765 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,439 Speaker 1: Jewish population, large Arab population in that area too. Are 766 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: you seeing Jewish voters recognizing that many Democrats have turned 767 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: their backs on them? Again, we mentioned one of the 768 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,320 Speaker 1: top candidates that you might be running against. Not wanting 769 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: to even mention the Ayatola being killed because some might 770 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,279 Speaker 1: be angry. Is that moving some of that electorate in 771 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: Oakland County, which is a huge battleground county and has 772 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 1: become in the Trump era, one of the real bell 773 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: leathers in your state. 774 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I've seen some of it. It's it's 775 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 3: hard to tell. It's you know, I saw a report 776 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 3: where forty percent of the Jewish population in New York 777 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,960 Speaker 3: City voted for Mandami, which is a head scratcher to me. 778 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 3: I don't understand that how be that high handedly And 779 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,880 Speaker 3: so in Michigan, I think we're experiencing a little bit 780 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 3: of that. I think it's starting to come around. I 781 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,479 Speaker 3: do think the attack on the synagogue brings it home. 782 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 3: I can't tell you how many people I've talked to 783 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 3: who in and around the state who that was their 784 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,719 Speaker 3: kind of synagogue, that was their place of choice, that's 785 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 3: where some of them went to school, and on occasions 786 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,920 Speaker 3: the largest synagogue in the state. So it had a 787 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 3: profound impact. I hope that they're coming to the conclusion 788 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 3: you can't have a guy who's running who is now 789 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 3: the front runner Abdilla l Sayid say I want a 790 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 3: Mandami Michigan, which he did, and wonder how you know 791 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 3: our Jewish population in the state can even allow that 792 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 3: to happen. I do see some waking up. We have 793 00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 3: a long way to go. And here's the other thing. 794 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 3: I think it's really important for viewers understand we have 795 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,759 Speaker 3: other very big Arab populations that are Christian Chaldeans, which 796 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 3: are Iraqi Catholics is very big in Michigan. We have 797 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 3: Lebanese Christrists really big in Michigan. And then we have 798 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 3: other Muslim groups who are not upset that what they 799 00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 3: see happening in Iran. They know that their homelands have 800 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,480 Speaker 3: been terrorized all across the Middle East, those Arab countries, 801 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 3: by Iran the leading sponsor of terror. If they're not 802 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 3: able to fund Hamas and Hezbalah and the Houthis and 803 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 3: ten other by the way, small terrorist groups operating in 804 00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 3: that region, guess what, things become peaceful, Their families back 805 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 3: home become a little more safe. So we do have 806 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 3: a pretty activist Muslim population there that's very pro Palestine. 807 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,359 Speaker 3: They're active and they're working at it. But there's other 808 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 3: populations there that I think we're going to be able 809 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 3: to get their votes going into November. 810 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: President Trump did quite well with Arab voters in Michigan, 811 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:51,720 Speaker 1: as you well know, and so there's a lot of people, 812 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,120 Speaker 1: maybe a non traditional Democrat voting bases that are up 813 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: for grabs. Mike Rodgers, how can people help you if 814 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,120 Speaker 1: they want to get involved in your Senate campaign, which, 815 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 1: as you said, is the top target to flip a 816 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: current Democrat held seat. 817 00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 3: First of all, Clay is going to call all of 818 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 3: his relatives in Oakland County and say, Mike Rogers, that's 819 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 3: been a little phone timelay. That's really important. Secondly, go 820 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 3: to Rogersfirsenate dot com ro g e er s for 821 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 3: Senate dot com.

Every weekend it feels like we have forty 901 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:25,800 Speaker 1: different sporting events. 902 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,239 Speaker 2: I don't know if you're able to answer this or 903 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 2: if this will get you in trouble, so you can 904 00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 2: defer and just kick it into the weekend. As a dad, 905 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 2: what sport that your boys play is the most fun 906 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:36,600 Speaker 2: to watch? 907 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,800 Speaker 1: Football? Football? I mean, football is the best sport to watch, 908 00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: I think, no matter in my opinion, no matter what 909 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: baseball is, I've coached them all. Baseball I think is 910 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 1: the most fun to coach because you know, being a 911 00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,359 Speaker 1: first base coach or a third base coach, you get 912 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: to actually talk to them during the game. And I 913 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: would say that's probably. I mean, I've coached soccer, baseball, football, basketball, 914 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 1: all and which one you think you coach the best? 915 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 1: Probably that's a good question. I don't. I think baseball, 916 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 1: at your overall coaching matters the least. I think probably 917 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:17,959 Speaker 1: football it matters the most, So I would probably say 918 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,480 Speaker 1: basketball is the one that I had the most impact 919 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 1: on at least fun. 920 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to go play some padel this weekend before 921 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 2: I go for each eat. 922 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 1: Your pistachio ice cream too, Speaking truth and having fun 923 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 1: Clay Travis and Buck Sexton
