1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 2: Second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off right now. 4 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 2: We're going to discuss this drone strike that killed seven 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 2: civilian aid workers in Gaza on Monday, a couple of 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 2: days ago. A lot of political backlash to this in 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: the aftermath of the strike. The headline here up on 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: the Daily Mail Biden is pissed. That is the quote. 9 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: They say that Joe Biden is furious and is getting 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: ready for a very tense phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu 11 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: after this strike killed seven aid workers. This is what 12 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: we know about it so far. IDF and IDF has 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: taken responsibility for this. They have said it as a tragedy. 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: They have said it as an accident, and there will 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: be a full investigation into how this could happen. It 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: was a marked a convoy from a World Central kitchen 17 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 2: and they're trying to get food to people who obviously 18 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: are are facing hunger and even possible starvation in the 19 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: midst of this war zone. So there's a lot of 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 2: outrage from people about this. I think that one thing 21 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: that has gotten perhaps the most attention in terms of 22 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 2: the response to this so far has been Chef Jose Andres, 23 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 2: who is the one who has coordinated this strike, has said, 24 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: and team, let me know when we have him. We 25 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: have it. Okay. Here is Chef Jose Andres saying that 26 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: what Israel did with this strike was intentional. It was murder. Listen. 27 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: And these happened over more than one point five one 28 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 3: point eight diamit. So this was not used a bad 29 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: luck situation where we dropped the bomb in the brong 30 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 3: place or not. This was over one point five one 31 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 3: point eight kilometers with a very defined humanitarian convoy that 32 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 3: had signs in the top, in the roof, a very 33 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: colorful logo that we are obviously very proud of. But 34 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 3: that's very clear who we are and what we do. 35 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 3: But I know is that we were targeted deliberately, not 36 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: as too until everybody was dead in this conboy. 37 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: Targeted deliberately, he says Jose Andres. This is a celebrity 38 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: chef who's put together world Worldchen, World Central kitchen play. 39 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: I just think that it's important. First of all, Jose 40 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: Andres is somebody who at the very beginning of this 41 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: I meaning right after October seventh, was very vocal calling 42 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: for a ceasefire right away. So the people who have 43 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: called for a ceasefire after what we saw on October seventh, 44 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: or I think, acting in bad faith, they generally wanted 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: Israel to suffer a horrific terror attack. If someone had 46 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: told me that they wanted to call for and there 47 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 2: were some people who said there's very few a ceasefire 48 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: with al Qaeda and the global Jihat after nine to eleven, 49 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: I would have only had four letter words to say 50 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 2: to them about it. I think, and I think that 51 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: a lot of Israel and the Israelis and the Jewish 52 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: people feel the same way as they should. The notion 53 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: that this was intentional. Let's unpack this for a second. 54 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: If Israel wanted to blow up every AID convoy, they 55 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: could blow up every AID convoy, and there's nothing the 56 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: Palestinians could do to stop them. In fact, if they 57 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: wanted to destroy every standing building in Gaza, everything and 58 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 2: kill everyone in Gaza, they could do so, and there's 59 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: nothing that the people of Gaza could do to stop them. 60 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: This only makes their actual mission more complicated. I always say, 61 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: we say on the show, look at incentives. There is 62 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: no incentive put aside the moral calculations here for a second. 63 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: There is no combat incentive for the Israelis to do this. 64 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: And I'm reminded of the horrific mistake that we made, 65 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: or the Biden administration made, during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. 66 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: We blew up a car with I think six or 67 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: seven kids. It was a father and his six or 68 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: seven children. We said it was a suicide bomber. We 69 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: hit a drone we were following the car. We turned 70 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: the whole thing into charcoal. And that was America. These 71 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: kind of mistakes, as awful as they are, do happen 72 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 2: in war one hundred percent. And that's what exactly where 73 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 2: I was going to go to. 74 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: I think we killed ten innocent people in Afghanistan with 75 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: the idea this guy was driving around with a suicide 76 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: bomb or a bomb in his in his vehicle, and 77 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: it turns out that he was a dad coming home 78 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: from a work day, and we blew up his whole family. 79 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 2: And that doesn't mean we did not do that intentionally. 80 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: I can say, you know, knowing the people that make 81 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: these decisions, and the Biden administration did not do that intentionally. 82 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: They didn't say, blow up a bunch of kids. Nobody 83 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 2: wanted that to happen. It was a colossal screw up. 84 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: There was no accountability for it. But that's another conversation. 85 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, intent is important here because 86 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: the way that that celebrity chef is phrasing things, he's 87 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: making it sound like they intentionally killed these individuals. 88 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 2: It doesn't. 89 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: They could have intentionally targeted this group with the idea 90 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: being that it was somebody else, as happened in Afghanistan. 91 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: But the real intent here, which we seem to be forgetting, 92 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: was the intent of Hamas to kill as many Jews 93 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: as possible without fail. What Israel has done since then 94 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: is try to respond to guarantee that Hamas cannot do 95 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: again what it did on October seventh. And so I'm sorry, 96 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of sympathy for anyone who 97 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: is allowing Hamas to still exist in all of the 98 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: Gaza region. 99 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 2: That's why this is going on. 100 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Hamas began this war, and now that they are reaping 101 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: the consequences of beginning the war, I don't have any 102 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: desire for Israel to stop until they have ended Hamas's 103 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: ability to do this again. For potentially generations maybe forever now. 104 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: The challenge, of course, is when you are dealing with 105 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: people who believe that they are going to die and 106 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: be martyrs and get seventy virgins, when you are dealing 107 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: with their rational people, dealing with them rationally in fighting 108 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: a war creates a whole other generation of people who 109 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: are going to continue to want to rain down depredations 110 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: upon the Israeli people. That's the reality of where they are. 111 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: And so the idea that what I don't like is 112 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: when one incident like this turns into a major flashpoint 113 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: of oh, this is unacceptable. Israel is saying, I believe 114 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: buck that they have killed somewhere in the neighborhood of 115 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand Hamas fighters and people in gods are saying 116 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: there's thirty thousand people that have been killed. It's hard 117 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: to figure out exactly what the numbers are, what percentage 118 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: are combatants, what percent are so called innocent lives. And 119 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: the reality is this is impossible to do without there 120 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: being some loss of innocent civilian life. And your point 121 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: is a good one. If Israel wanted to carpet bomb 122 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Gaza and basically wipe Gaza off the face of the Earth, 123 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: He'll kill everyone there. 124 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: They kill it. Please. Yeah, there's nothing that they could 125 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: have done it on October eighth. They could have done 126 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: it on October eighth. 127 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: They could have rained down Holy Hell upon Gaza and 128 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: cease to have anyone alive. Basically in that entire footprint, 129 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: they've actually tried not to. And I thought it was 130 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: Douglas Murray. Was it Buck who made the argument that 131 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: you talk about what is a what is a justifiable response, 132 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: what is commensurate with the proportional response that is allowed. 133 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: Nothing that Israel has done is as evil as what 134 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: Hamas did to Israel on October seventh, None of it 135 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: because their intent from the get go has been to 136 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: try to avoid killing anyone but enemy combatants, and Hamas 137 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: has hidden enemy combatants all throughout places where innocent people 138 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: would be hospitals, schools, churches, synagogues, Muslim places of worship. 139 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: They have hired hid people wherever they could to try 140 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: to make Israel look like the bad guy whenever they 141 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: go after them. 142 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 2: I mean Hamas fighters in the name of the Palestinian people, 143 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 2: and with orders from above to do this, gang raped 144 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: and then murdered Israeli women and Israeli teenagers. They did that. 145 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 2: When someone does that, the only response in a just 146 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: world is to hunt them down and kill them. And 147 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: they haven't killed all of the Hamas fighters, so the 148 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: fight is not over until they do. And this is 149 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: how I felt about bin Laden and al Kadam, what 150 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 2: they did to us on nine to eleven. So I 151 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 2: afford our Israeli brothers and sisters the same rights of 152 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: off defenses I would afford the American people and and have. 153 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: So I don't see this the way that the jose 154 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: andress of the world do that there's some kind of uh, 155 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: you know, moral parody here and that it's oh fog 156 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: of war and both sides are doing these bad things. Uh. 157 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 2: The the just. The only thing that Hamas did on 158 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 2: October seventh was pursue evil down into the depths of 159 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 2: hell and try to kill as many people who were 160 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 2: defenseless and who are innocent, and who had not done 161 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: nothing to them as they possibly could, and mutilate them 162 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: and sexually abuse them. And it didn't advance their interests 163 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 2: in nation state. It didn't advance. It wasn't it wasn't 164 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 2: about some kind of a territorial dispute. Really ultimately, because 165 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: that's not going to get there. 166 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: It wasn't anyway, buck even a military attack, right like, 167 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: wasn't as if they were trying to do something to 168 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: the people who were actual soldiers. 169 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: Only ask yourself this, what is the concession that Hamas 170 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 2: thinks that it was going to get from doing that 171 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 2: and also taking the hostages. They didn't take hostages so 172 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 2: that they could negotiate a long term and durable peace 173 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: and then return them all. As we know, they've killed 174 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 2: hostages in their custody and sexually abused them as well. 175 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: They did all this out of just sheer malice. It 176 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,239 Speaker 2: was just an act of malice and hatred and viciousness. 177 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 2: And the only way to respond with that. I mean, 178 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: if someone you know breaks into a home, you know, 179 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: rapes and murders of family, and then walks out and says, 180 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: you know, I want to have a conversation, but the 181 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: challenges have had in life, the proper response is to 182 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: execute that individual. And that is what the Israelis are 183 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: doing by chasing down the Hamas fighters who came into 184 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 2: their country and did this. And I think it very 185 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: strange that people that I know, I'll say this even 186 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: on the right who have who have shown clarity when 187 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: it came to our fight against the jihattists, against the 188 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: al Qaida and its affiliated entities. Basically the globalji hottiest 189 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 2: ideology or really just the hottest because it's always global. 190 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 2: Those some of those same voices are thinking that somehow 191 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: the Israelis aren't in a similar struggle. There actually are 192 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: in a similar struggle. The parallels are very clear to me. 193 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: I don't see why anyone on the right wouldn't understand. 194 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: That if people from Mexico or Canada, but anywhere on 195 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: our border crossed over and killed twelve hundred innocent people. 196 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: Do you think we would stop because we accidentally killed 197 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: seven innocent people or seven thousand innocent people, if we 198 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: thought that we had not ended the threat that that 199 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: could ever happen again. 200 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: Of course not so. I wouldn't expect Israel to do 201 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: anything less, And Mexico and Canada would never would never 202 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: do that as governing states, the people in that country, 203 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: in those countries, would never do that. And I need 204 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: to say, oh, all people are capable of evil. It's 205 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 2: different in the areas of Gaza and the West Bank. 206 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 2: They I have friends who have interviewed mothers in the 207 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: West Bank, for example, who lost their children as a 208 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: in a suicide bombing. This is back in the earlier 209 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: days of the Second into Fada in the early two thousands, 210 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 2: and the mothers beam with pride that, you know, their 211 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: twenty year old went into a pizzeria in Jerusalem and 212 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: blew up, you know, a dozen people and had ball 213 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 2: bearing shredding people's you know, faces and lungs. And they 214 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: thought that was great. Yeah, they thought that was really 215 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: And that's widespread. Just to be clear, that's widespread. The 216 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 2: Hamas entity gives money to the families of suicide bombers 217 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: and still does to this day. So this is it's official. 218 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: It's official policy from all the way on down to 219 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 2: be as vicious and inhumane as possible. And it is 220 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 2: and this is strategic to say that it is ultimately 221 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: rooted in hatred of the Jewish people. And that is 222 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 2: just the truth from somebody who has seen it himself 223 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,119 Speaker 2: by being over there and understanding the mentality of these jihadists. 224 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 2: So I get that for people like Jose Andres, they 225 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 2: think that all people can be bad, and why don't 226 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: we all just get along, and why can't we all 227 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: be friends? Maybe we can get along when every Hamas 228 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: fighter is dead or in prison and Hamas is no 229 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 2: longer governing Gaza. I think then the Israelis and the 230 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: Palestinian people have a real shot at having a conversation 231 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 2: about the future. Until then, I don't think there is 232 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: a conversation to be had. That's how I see it. 233 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 2: Eight hund two two aa two. If you think I'm wrong, 234 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: let me know. Soon in theaters about a week from now, 235 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: a new epic depiction of our nation in crisis mode. 236 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: It's a movie called Civil War, directed by filmmaker Alex 237 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 2: Garland and getting good advance reviews. It's a vision of 238 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: America you'd only want to see in theaters and not 239 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: in real life if you binge watched The Last of Us, 240 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: which I did, by the way, or have seen Apocalypse Now, 241 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: great movie nearly in the same vein. It portrays a 242 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 2: dystopian future America and a team of military embedded journalists 243 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: racing against time to reach Washington, d C. Before rebel 244 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 2: factions descend upon the White House. The Rotten Tomato rating 245 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 2: is ninety two percent right now.

I appreciate 254 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: all of you hanging out with us as we are 255 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: rolling through the Thursday edition of the program. A bunch 256 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: of you want to weigh in, as is always the case, 257 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: Let's take a couple of calls here. 258 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: Stephen n Pa. 259 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: You want to react to what our conversation was just 260 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: about Israel's response to the Hamas attack on October seventh 261 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: and the American political response, particularly from Joe Biden. 262 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: What you got for us? 263 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 4: I have a question, an analogous question, just food for thoughts. 264 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 4: If the Sina Lo La cartel we're launching rockets out 265 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 4: of Madamore and they were landing in San Diego killing 266 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 4: United States citizens, what would we even the dim with 267 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 4: Democrats expect Joe Biden to. 268 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 5: Do about. 269 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: John No. 270 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I think, thank you for the call. I 271 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: the analogy is not a bad one. If someone crossed 272 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: our border, and even if you want to say, if 273 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: it's a cartel, if it's some religious organization that's not 274 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: even affiliated directly, although Hamas is clearly directly affiliated with 275 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: the people of Gaza. But let's just pretend it's some 276 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: sort of terror organization that crosses our southern border, kills 277 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: twelve hundred people and then flees back to Mexico or 278 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: flees back to Canada. We would reign down holy hell 279 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: until every one of those people were dead, and every 280 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: single one of you listening, and almost every American with 281 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: a functional brain would support that. Yeah, I mean, I 282 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: think if you I'm here in South Florida, right if 283 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: if the you know, the remnants of the Castro regime 284 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: sent some paramilitary force into Key West and they killed 285 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: as many people as they could, and they did anything 286 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: on the scale of what they I mean, we would 287 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: we would be landing, you know, marines and doing whatever 288 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: we have to do and hunt down every single person 289 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: who was involved and kill her, imprison them, and and 290 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: that's it, and there would be uh, there would be 291 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: messy stuff, there would be civilian casualties, war as hell. 292 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 2: This is the reality of it. But Israel didn't start this, 293 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 2: and uh, you know they're they're they have a right 294 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: to defend themselves. Jimmy and Texas, what have you got 295 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: for us? Jimmy going once, I guess. 296 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 6: The outrage that the Biden administration has against the accidental 297 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 6: bombing of the the aid workers. They think a forgotten 298 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 6: the bombing of the family as retaliation for the Abbegate incident. 299 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 2: We specific talked about. I spoke about that in the 300 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 2: last segment. Yeah, that they killed the whole They blew 301 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: up a whole car. It was a drone strike similar 302 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 2: in respect to the technology and the surveillance ability involved 303 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: in this. It wasn't a marked humanitarian aid convoy, so 304 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's exactly the same, but they couldn't 305 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 2: figure out that there were eight little kids in the car. 306 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, when you actually start to think 307 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 2: about this, it's I mean, it's horrific. Yeah, you know 308 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 2: what we what we did in Afghanistan, that was the 309 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: US government. 310 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and we specifically know that Hamas is trying to 311 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: use non combatants to hide its combatants. That's why they've 312 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: been in hospitals. That's why they've been in school. Yeah, 313 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: that's why they've been in religious related locations. They're trying 314 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: to use those places as fronts to allow them to attack. Remember, 315 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 1: they're still sending lobbing missiles into Israel on a regular basis. 316 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 2: So look, it stinks. 317 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: It would be great if only people who are responsible 318 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: for evil were the ones that were hit and targeted. 319 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: But that's almost impossible in what is a let's be honest, 320 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: incredibly difficult environment right now for Israel.

We got other things. 344 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 2: The state of Nebraska. If you didn't know, we have 345 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 2: a lot of listeners in Nebraska, appreciate you. The state 346 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: of Nebraska doesn't do what most other states do, which 347 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: is win or take all electoral college vote based on 348 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 2: whoever wins the state. They break it down a little 349 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 2: bit differently, and there is a move underway in the 350 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: state of Nebraska to change this. This is from NBC. 351 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 2: Nebraska legislators last night blocked a late effort to change 352 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 2: how the state allocates its electoral college votes. Despite public 353 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: pressure from former President Donald Trump Donald Trump to shift 354 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: to a winner take all system that would likely benefit 355 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 2: him in the fall, the measure fell short. Its possible 356 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 2: supporters could take another shot at this, but there are 357 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 2: still hurdles before the legislative ession legislative session for the 358 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 2: state of Nebraska comes to a close. Nebraska currently doles 359 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 2: out three of its five electoral votes to the presidential 360 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: candidate who wins each of its three congressional districts. In practice, 361 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: that puts the competitive second district, Omaha Area nose prize 362 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 2: the city, the big city in Nebraska. That puts that 363 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: in play. Even though Republicans win the state. It's very 364 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: red overall. Clay. This is getting attention from folks because 365 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 2: there is wasn't there Kevin Costner movie where like he 366 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 2: was the last vote and he could decide who the president. 367 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: I didn't see it, but you know what I'm talking about. 368 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: He was like the last person to vote and he 369 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 2: got to decide who the president was. Do you know 370 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: what I'm talking Am I creating? 371 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 4: Oh? 372 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: I don't rememb that sounds like it would be a 373 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: Kevin Costner style movie. So I'm not I'm not disputing it. 374 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: Team let me know that you look that up. I'll 375 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: tell I'll lay this math out. 376 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 2: So lay some of the math out, because this isn't 377 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: Oh but yes, I'm not crazy, Clay. It's called swing vote. 378 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 2: It came out in two thousand and eight. Boom the 379 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 2: Buckster used to watch a lot of movie trailers. Okay, 380 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: lay the math out though, because there is a realistic 381 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 2: scenario in which this one little electoral vote in Nebraska 382 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: could be the difference. 383 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: Well, so, first of all, it's kind of crazy that 384 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: we have an even number of electoral votes. So there 385 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: is the possibility of a two sixty nine to two 386 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: sixty nine tie, and there is also the possibility of 387 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: a two seventy for Biden to sixty eight for Trump. 388 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: That is swinging based on what happens with this Omaha district. 389 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: So I want to lay out what that math look like. 390 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: It's not actually that far fetched. If Trump were to 391 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: flip Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona, that would get him to 392 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: two sixty eight the Omaha then district. And also, by 393 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: the way, if he won one district in Maine, which 394 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: it looks like he's gonna comfortably win because Maine is 395 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: the other state that breaks this up. Then the election 396 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: could come down to what happened in Omaha, and if 397 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: Omaha goes Biden, then the state of Nebraska would be 398 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: providing the one electoral vote that would give Joe Biden 399 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: the presidency. 400 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 2: If it were tied to sixty nine to two sixty nine, it. 401 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: Goes to the House of Representatives, and then Trump would 402 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: be President of the United States. 403 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 2: So again, this. 404 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: Presumes that Biden wins Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. There is 405 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: a pathway to Trump potentially winning without having to win 406 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: any of those states in the Midwest, but it would 407 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: rely upon winning every electoral vote from Nebraska instead of 408 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: four of them. And so there's been a push and 409 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: I flagged this yesterday because Trump sent out a message 410 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: about it. There's been a push when Nebraska's a very 411 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: red state to say, why not go ahead and make 412 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: Nebraska winner take all. 413 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 2: And here's what Trump said. 414 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: Governor Jim Pillen of Nebraska, very smart, popular governor, came 415 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: out today with a very strong letter in supportive returning 416 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: Nebraska's electoral votes to win or take all. Most Nebraskans 417 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: have wanted to go back to this system for a 418 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: long time because it's what forty eight other states do. 419 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: Thank you, governor for your bold leadership. Let's hope the 420 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: Senate does the right thing. Nebraska's respectfully ask your senators, 421 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: that's the state senators, to support this great bill. 422 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: I think, look, it's going to be on the margins 423 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 2: maybe in this thing, right. 424 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and can you imagine if Biden wins two seventy 425 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: and two sixty eight Buck cousin the Omaha. 426 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 2: It's even, in some ways even crazier than the Kevin 427 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: Costner movie swing vote. We're on a great herid station 428 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 2: KFAB eleven hundred AM in Omaha. So if anyone's listening 429 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 2: in that area wants to call and let us know, 430 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 2: why isn't why isn't Nebraska going forward with this? You know, 431 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 2: I'm kind of curious, like what you would think given 432 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: the I have to look at what the makeup of 433 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 2: the legislature is. But it wasn't even close in this 434 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 2: procedural vote. I feel like, what possible rationale is there? 435 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 2: I understand straits get to determine, you know, I get it, 436 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: But if all the other states are doing it one way. 437 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: I feel like every state should do it the same way. 438 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 2: So I would say the same thing about Maine. I'm 439 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 2: not picking on Nebraska, but if there's a movement in 440 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: Nebraska to change this, I think it should be changed. 441 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 2: I don't really understand it makes sense for them to 442 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 2: do it differently, you know what I'm saying, And I 443 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: agree completely. 444 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: And by the way, Trump won Nebraska by twenty points 445 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, and I would imagine is on track 446 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: to win Nebraska by twenty some odd points in twenty twenty. 447 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 2: Four as well. Maine. I'll look up Maine and see 448 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 2: how close it was. 449 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: Maine is more of a competitive state than Nebraska is, and. 450 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: So I this feels like an easy fix to me. 451 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 2: But just imagine for a second if New York and 452 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 2: California apportioned delegate delegates based on some broken down system. Oh, 453 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 2: things would feel very different. It looks anything in Texas, 454 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 2: but things would look very different if we didn't have 455 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 2: the winner take all approach in those states. It would 456 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 2: really change because right now, Republicans don't really you know, 457 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: we don't really think we can win statewide. In California, 458 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 2: Democrats pretend, but they can't win wide in Texas and 459 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 2: so forth, so it would change the whole landscape. I 460 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 2: think that the Nebraska the Nebraska option to McClay so 461 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 2: go with Nebraska still go the nation. 462 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: Well, so, by the way, Maine was a nine point difference, 463 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: I would think it would be even closer than that 464 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. And Maine has been a historically 465 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: independent state. Susan Collins is a Republican, but she's very independent. 466 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: I think is Angus King's still the other senator. I 467 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: think he is from Maine and he's actually an independent, 468 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: so that makes a little bit more sense culturally for Maine. 469 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 1: Although I would agree with you at this point, winner 470 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: take all, but there's not a no blues state would 471 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: do what Nebraska is doing right now. To your point, 472 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: New York and California would never allow Trump to get 473 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: any of their electoral votes. When Trump is going to 474 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: win your state by twenty plus, why would Nebraska rep 475 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: reresentatives not make the state winner take all? Can you 476 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: imagine if Trump wins Nevada, any wins Arizona, and he 477 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: wins Georgia and Biden gets four more years because Nebraskans 478 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: allowed Omaha to give an electoral vote to Joe Biden 479 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: to make him the president of the United States. 480 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 2: That doesn't feel right to me. 481 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,239 Speaker 1: Now, hopefully it's not going to come down to one 482 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: electoral vote or another. But given how crazy are politics are, 483 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: buck does go in two sixty nine to two sixty 484 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 1: nine and tossing it into the House of Representatives feel 485 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: like it's a crazy concept. 486 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 2: It doesn't to me. Nothing is too crazy, yes, for 487 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 2: this moment in politics. Nothing. 488 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: So if we're missing something Nebraskans eight hundred and two 489 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: A two two eight A two, let us know what 490 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: we're missing. But my general position would be no blue 491 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: state would ever do what Nebraska is doing. And I 492 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 1: would say, again, means more of a state and it's 493 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: an independent state. But I would understand if Maine they 494 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: tried to take away the splitting of the electoral college 495 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: votes as well. 496 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 2: And you can argue, well, it means that the candidates 497 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: are going to campaign here. 498 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: I mean, but just ask yourself, would South Dakota give 499 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: Joe Biden a electoral vote? Would Colorado give Donald Trump 500 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: an electoral vote? I mean, blue and red states do 501 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: not typically do things that would advantage someone who's not 502 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: going to come close to winning their state. So why 503 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: is Nebraska doing it? And is it worth doing it 504 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: if it means that you hand the presidency potentially to 505 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. I think is a good question, and Nebraskans 506 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: probably can answer that better than we can. 507 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 2: But I do think it's a question that a lot 508 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 2: of them should be asking. 509 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 1: And twenty years from now, maybe we're talking about how 510 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 1: this election turned on Omaha, and maybe we'll also be 511 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: talking about all your old family memory. You know what 512 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: I did yesterday, Buck, Now, your iPhone just gives you, 513 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: like every now and then makes you kind of want 514 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: to cry, because it puts together the videos and it's like, hey, 515 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: here's you and the family on the beach over the years, 516 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: here's you and the family. I was sharing with my 517 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: kids and my wife some pictures of that the iPhone 518 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: had put together of us hanging out in cold weather 519 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: skiing taking advantage of snowfall in Nashville, and I sent 520 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: that video and everybody thought it was awesome to be 521 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: able to see several years of everybody growing. And you 522 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: probably know what I'm talking about with those iPhone memories, 523 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: just being able to share them digitally is pretty awesome. 524 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: Being able to share with all your different friends and 525 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: family members all of those great things that the iPhone 526 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: puts together and made. Wonder how many out there would 527 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: love to be able to share memories like this from 528 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: the eighties or the nineties, be able to take old 529 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: VHS memories, put them all together digitally and share them 530 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: with your friends and family, your loved ones. How many 531 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: of those memories are disappearing forever because the VHS tape 532 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: wasn't designed to last very long, and most people don't 533 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: even have VCRs anymore, and eventually that old VHS tape 534 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: stops working.

Welcome back in Clay 556 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: Travis buck Sexton Show. We're talking about that situation out 557 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: in Nebraska. It could be significant. I don't want you 558 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: to wake up the morning after and you're doing the math. 559 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: I'm not great at math, but I've done the math. 560 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: You can do them. Make your own map and again. 561 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: In this scenario, Trump flips Georgia, flips Nevada, and flips Arizona. 562 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: That gets him to two sixty eight Biden based on 563 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the map, if he were to win Wisconsin, Michigan, 564 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: and Pennsylvania and the one vote in Omaha would win 565 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: the election two seventy to two sixty eight. If it 566 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: went into the House of Representatives tied at two sixty nine, 567 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: Trump would be President of the United States. So the 568 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: entire election, Buck talked about the Kevin Costner swing voter, 569 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: like he's the last guy. The entire election would come 570 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: down to how Omaha, Nebraska voted in one congressional district 571 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: as to who the President of the United States was 572 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: going to be. And so we're asking Nebraska's We got 573 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: Byron who wants to lay out this history here. But Buck, 574 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: can you imagine what the result would be if if 575 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: Omaha Nebraska gave Biden and look, Trump could still win Omaha. 576 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: I think it was fairly close. We'll look up the 577 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: data on that. Maybe Byron knows it, But this is 578 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: kind of crazy that it could come down to Omaha, Nebraska. 579 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 2: It's all about Omaha, Nebraska area. What's going on? Are 580 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 2: you a KFA B listener? Yes, sir, Oh fantastic in 581 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 2: a clay I used to be on that six to nine, 582 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: So I have a special place in my heart for 583 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 2: KFAB out of Omaha. So tell me this, what is 584 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 2: the basis of the historical background of why Nebraska does 585 00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 2: it the way it does when it comes to the 586 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 2: electoral vote breakdown. 587 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 5: Well, it's my understanding. Back in the day when they 588 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 5: decided to do this, it was an effort for damage control. 589 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 5: They saw that the population was being shifted from you know, 590 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 5: we're a rural state, but the population centers was greatly 591 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 5: outnumbering the rest of the state, and they said, Okay, 592 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 5: we're going to split this up. So worst case scenario 593 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 5: is we give up one electoral vote and the rest 594 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 5: still reflects with the rest of the state. 595 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,719 Speaker 1: Does understood, Bill, How do you think most Nebraska's who 596 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: are going to vote for Trump by twenty points would 597 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: feel waking up and knowing that their creation of a 598 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 1: swing electoral vote in Omaha, Nebraska handed the presidency to 599 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. 600 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 5: Well, the way I look at it is because we've 601 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 5: got Trump, and Trump's got a lot of a lot 602 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 5: of backing. But if we ever had a close, a 603 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 5: closer race, and uh, the whole state can end up 604 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 5: going liberal because of the population center is uh liberal. 605 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,880 Speaker 5: So it's like I say, it was just a damaged control. 606 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 5: If things get really bad, we only give up one 607 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 5: vote that little pocket of highly populated Omaha doesn't control. 608 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,839 Speaker 1: Let me just tell you this, Byron, if Nebraska votes 609 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: for a Democrat, the race ain't going to. 610 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 2: Be close, you know, thanks for the call. 611 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: So I don't buy into like, oh, there's a protectionist 612 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: thing for if if there's a bunch of states out there, 613 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: buck if they go like if Florida, Carol said yesterday. Yeah, 614 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: if Florida goes for by its close right out. Yeah, 615 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a landslide. 616 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 2: I just I refuse to just accept this idea that 617 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 2: cities just always have to be so left wing. You know, 618 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 2: even like Utah is a great state. I was just 619 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 2: out in Utah recently, love the people. You such a 620 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 2: beautiful state, really underrated for its natural beauty in my mind, 621 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 2: although people know if you know, you know, but like 622 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 2: Salt Lake City, it's left wing. You know, like even 623 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 2: in Utah, like the main city is dem you know, 624 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 2: is pretty Democrat leading, or you know, at least close 625 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 2: to it. You know, you go to these places, you go, 626 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 2: wait a second, how is this possible? The city Omaha 627 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 2: is left wing, by the way, the birthplace of the 628 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 2: band three eleven from the nineties. I don't know if 629 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 2: you remember them, but they were out of Omaha, Nebraska. 630 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: Warren Buffett is the most famous Omaha resident of all time. 631 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 1: I think he still lives in the house that he's 632 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: lived in there for much of his life.
