Well maybe 0:01:14.177 --> 0:01:18.057 here tonight with you, Buck, here we go fantastic yes, 0:01:18.297 --> 0:01:21.097 so and tell me some things here first and foremost, 0:01:21.137 --> 0:01:25.377 what is top of mind for you in the country 0:01:25.737 --> 0:01:28.937 right now if you could fix let's start with that 0:01:29.057 --> 0:01:31.217 and fix one thing for me in America. What would 0:01:31.217 --> 0:01:34.737 it be. We need a big, beautiful wall. I was 0:01:34.817 --> 0:01:38.457 promised a big beautiful wall. But I mean, seriously, there's 0:01:38.457 --> 0:01:42.097 a reason. That's what carried this buffoon, Donald Trump to 0:01:42.177 --> 0:01:45.657 president in two thousand sixteen. Whether or not the talking 0:01:45.697 --> 0:01:50.337 heads appreciated or the New York Times appreciated, Americans voted 0:01:50.737 --> 0:01:53.857 for the big beautiful wall. And we're seeing under Biden 0:01:54.217 --> 0:01:58.497 the problem with him not having built that wall. Estimates 0:01:58.537 --> 0:02:01.097 are I mean, they've caught and released more than two 0:02:01.137 --> 0:02:05.017 million illegals. The estimates go up to five million only 0:02:05.097 --> 0:02:07.937 since Biden has been president. And I mean, there are 0:02:07.937 --> 0:02:10.377 a lot of reasons not to like that with it's 0:02:10.497 --> 0:02:13.737 going to be suppressing, hurting the least among us those 0:02:13.897 --> 0:02:17.897 low wage workers who actually, surprisingly I will admit, didn't 0:02:17.937 --> 0:02:21.097 pretty well under Trump. Why because you know, with these 0:02:21.137 --> 0:02:24.257 temporary measures and a lot of it was just his rhetoric. 0:02:24.657 --> 0:02:27.897 He scared off illegals from trying to come based on 0:02:27.937 --> 0:02:30.177 the campaign, and then after you know, he was in 0:02:30.257 --> 0:02:33.297 office for about a year they realized he's not doing anything. 0:02:33.377 --> 0:02:37.137 We let's go back. But for the there's cultural reasons 0:02:37.177 --> 0:02:40.017 to care about this. We are the greatest country in 0:02:40.017 --> 0:02:43.377 the world and we do have So can I ask 0:02:43.417 --> 0:02:46.657 you this in because you've been you were the original 0:02:46.857 --> 0:02:49.697 on the argument here for well, first I mean first 0:02:49.697 --> 0:02:52.457 secure border that involved a wall, and in fact, Trump 0:02:52.897 --> 0:02:55.017 I believe early on was even telling people that he 0:02:55.017 --> 0:02:57.377 read Audios America, your book, and that this is where 0:02:57.897 --> 0:03:01.177 the idea for this largely largely came from. So I've 0:03:01.217 --> 0:03:04.697 been down to the border a bunch of times, no question, 0:03:04.777 --> 0:03:07.137 and I love this argument with libs. I've had it 0:03:07.177 --> 0:03:09.337 with them and they always get very, very frustrated. A 0:03:09.457 --> 0:03:11.377 wall helps And if you talk to border patrol, they'll 0:03:11.377 --> 0:03:15.377 say it absolutely is helpful because even in areas where 0:03:15.417 --> 0:03:19.137 the wall doesn't exist, there's fewer sorry, they can have 0:03:19.177 --> 0:03:22.537 fewer resources where they have no you know, where they 0:03:22.617 --> 0:03:24.457 have a wall versus where they have no wall, right, 0:03:24.497 --> 0:03:26.777 so they can kind of focus in on the high 0:03:26.777 --> 0:03:29.977 traffic areas of drugs. A high traffic problem though we 0:03:30.057 --> 0:03:32.897 got even if we had a wall, they are surrendering. 0:03:33.417 --> 0:03:35.057 This is what's going. So I want to know how 0:03:35.057 --> 0:03:37.537 we deal with that issue because people are showing up. 0:03:37.897 --> 0:03:40.697 The wall stops the drug traffickers, the single male migrants. 0:03:40.857 --> 0:03:42.897 When I say stops, you know, makes it harder for them, right, 0:03:42.937 --> 0:03:45.857 and makes border patrol's job easier. But you have family 0:03:45.937 --> 0:03:49.257 units that show up to the border wall or anywhere 0:03:49.577 --> 0:03:53.017 and essentially walk in and they say, hey, here, I 0:03:53.057 --> 0:03:55.937 am right. So and even in a wall situation, they 0:03:55.977 --> 0:03:58.417 go to a port of entry, they go to areas 0:03:58.457 --> 0:04:01.057 where you know, the wall isn't that big, they go 0:04:01.137 --> 0:04:03.497 over it, and now they say, I want asylum in 0:04:03.537 --> 0:04:05.817 your country. So what do we do about that? Well, 0:04:05.817 --> 0:04:08.217 we invent a time machine. We go back and make 0:04:08.697 --> 0:04:11.377 up keeper's promises to things about what you just said. Yeah, 0:04:11.377 --> 0:04:13.977 of course they're they're going to be some entry points, 0:04:14.017 --> 0:04:18.737 but we want a big wall across the entire border, 0:04:18.817 --> 0:04:21.217 not the thirty three miles that Trump built. I do 0:04:21.297 --> 0:04:24.257 not think that if he had kept his promise, Biden 0:04:24.297 --> 0:04:28.857 would have come in, and a Biden wouldn't have come in. 0:04:29.057 --> 0:04:32.257 Trump would have won reelection if he had kept his promises. 0:04:33.057 --> 0:04:36.857 But moreover, even if even if a Democrat didn't come in, 0:04:37.297 --> 0:04:40.057 they're not going to rip down a wall. It took 0:04:40.497 --> 0:04:43.417 you know, like the Great Chinese Wall or the Great 0:04:43.457 --> 0:04:46.457 Wall of China. That's why we want a wall, because 0:04:46.497 --> 0:04:49.457 different administrations are going to have different policies and as 0:04:49.497 --> 0:04:51.297 long as the border is open, and it's just a 0:04:51.337 --> 0:04:54.617 matter of well, does the president want to protect American 0:04:54.737 --> 0:04:57.337 jobs or doesn't he want to protect American jobs? And 0:04:58.057 --> 0:05:03.497 part of what the Democrats just hauling the millions upon 0:05:03.577 --> 0:05:06.777 millions of illegals. In part of it is just a 0:05:06.897 --> 0:05:09.377 response to Trump. We were always worried about that that 0:05:09.457 --> 0:05:14.217 he can, on one hand, even back down, but he 0:05:14.297 --> 0:05:17.857 was so borish about making the points from Adios America 0:05:18.017 --> 0:05:21.977 and I don't need exactly make them in a Marquis 0:05:22.017 --> 0:05:26.777 to Queensberry's way, but he took it to another level, 0:05:26.857 --> 0:05:29.257 that whole Mexican rapist thing. Oh it's in my book, 0:05:29.337 --> 0:05:33.177 but I would have phrased it slightly differently as I did. 0:05:33.937 --> 0:05:37.617 And the reaction to Trump was was so the concern 0:05:37.817 --> 0:05:39.857 was he could end up making it worse and destroying 0:05:39.897 --> 0:05:42.777 these issues that a lot of people like but lots 0:05:42.777 --> 0:05:45.137 of others have been working on for years and caring 0:05:45.137 --> 0:05:47.937 about in the American people here about and I think 0:05:47.937 --> 0:05:50.337 we've seen that with the whole Democratic Party. If Trump 0:05:50.417 --> 0:05:53.017 was for it, we are against what Biden is doing 0:05:53.057 --> 0:05:57.137 at the border. Obomb would never have done. This is 0:05:57.177 --> 0:06:00.177 a This is an open border, I mean, right, if 0:06:00.177 --> 0:06:02.337 we're being honest about it, they're doing everything they can 0:06:02.377 --> 0:06:04.617 to make sure as many people as possible can stay 0:06:04.657 --> 0:06:07.777 at this point, and there's no interior enforcement. I mean, 0:06:07.817 --> 0:06:09.457 it has been funny. I'm sure you've seen the clips. 0:06:09.497 --> 0:06:11.817 These are real lips. We're not. This is not a 0:06:11.897 --> 0:06:14.217 joke in the sense that we're making this up. There 0:06:14.217 --> 0:06:16.537 are migrants who show up and they say I'm here 0:06:16.577 --> 0:06:19.297 because of Joe Biden. Right, they mean they're showing up 0:06:19.337 --> 0:06:21.377 and they're straight up saying, oh no, the cartels have 0:06:21.497 --> 0:06:23.337 told me this is a great time to get here 0:06:23.417 --> 0:06:26.857 because of Joe Biden. Yes, and two other things. I 0:06:26.977 --> 0:06:29.177 was going to mentionure in addition to changing the culture 0:06:29.217 --> 0:06:32.857 and really being very harmful to low wage workers, perhaps 0:06:32.857 --> 0:06:35.097 we should care about low wage workers. The other reason 0:06:35.177 --> 0:06:37.417 the Democrats I am a reaction Trump. The other reason 0:06:37.457 --> 0:06:42.937 the Democrats want this is manifestly because they want Third 0:06:43.017 --> 0:06:46.657 worlders to become US citizens and start voting. And what 0:06:46.737 --> 0:06:50.297 effects will that have? Oh, Republicans keep telling me that Hispanics, 0:06:50.337 --> 0:06:53.697 they're natural Republicans, natural Republicans. Well, oh my gosh, what 0:06:53.817 --> 0:06:56.817 happened to California. I had a young kid. I'm starting 0:06:56.817 --> 0:06:59.177 to a young kid this weekend. He was saying, I 0:06:59.217 --> 0:07:03.697 just don't understand why Californians vote for Gavin Newsom, because 0:07:03.897 --> 0:07:09.377 it's plurality Hispanic now and Hispanics may not like the 0:07:09.417 --> 0:07:11.617 trans stuff if you pass film, they may not like 0:07:11.777 --> 0:07:16.017 the abortion stuff, but they want welfare, they want the 0:07:16.137 --> 0:07:18.297 government aid, and they know they're going to get that 0:07:18.377 --> 0:07:21.737 from the Democrats. So the state that once gave us 0:07:21.977 --> 0:07:26.537 Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, you couldn't get elected dog 0:07:26.617 --> 0:07:29.977 catcher in California right now. And I mean, it's completely 0:07:30.017 --> 0:07:32.857 insane the things that Gavin Newsom is doing in California. 0:07:32.897 --> 0:07:36.977 I kind of hope that the Democrats do move Biden aside. 0:07:37.537 --> 0:07:40.257 Well be careful what you wish for, yea, But I 0:07:40.657 --> 0:07:42.937 don't think the rest of the country is ready for 0:07:43.057 --> 0:07:45.937 Gavin Newsom. Did you see Eric Adams? I always want 0:07:45.937 --> 0:07:49.537 someone to explain this to me. Eric Adams is the 0:07:49.537 --> 0:07:51.137 mayor of New York City, and I would I would 0:07:51.137 --> 0:07:54.217 add not a good one just in case anyone's wondering, 0:07:54.457 --> 0:07:56.017 we were supposed to be, Oh, he's going to clean 0:07:56.097 --> 0:07:58.217 up all the streets and the problems that. No, no, 0:07:58.417 --> 0:08:01.937 that's actually not correct. But anyway, and it's really I 0:08:02.017 --> 0:08:04.457 think because a lot of entrenched interests from the Democrat 0:08:04.497 --> 0:08:06.577 machine in the City of New York are just no longer. 0:08:06.897 --> 0:08:08.537 If people knew what's really going on in the District 0:08:08.577 --> 0:08:10.737 Attorney's office and the woke loo to ticks who are 0:08:10.737 --> 0:08:13.017 the rank and file in places like that, now, they 0:08:13.017 --> 0:08:16.057 would they would flee for places where you could go, 0:08:16.217 --> 0:08:19.177 you know, off grid and uh and you know, may 0:08:19.217 --> 0:08:20.937 be sure that they had access to their own fresh 0:08:21.017 --> 0:08:24.217 drinking water. But he went to the southern border, and 0:08:24.257 --> 0:08:27.817 I think it's fascinating because he's there and migrants that 0:08:27.897 --> 0:08:30.177 he met with said, oh, we hear you take great 0:08:30.217 --> 0:08:31.617 care of us in New York, so we want to 0:08:31.617 --> 0:08:33.577 go to New York. So you're an al Paso, you're 0:08:33.577 --> 0:08:34.977 an illegal migrant. You're saying, well, I want to go 0:08:35.017 --> 0:08:37.977 to New York City. Meanwhile, New York City's mayor is 0:08:38.017 --> 0:08:41.977 also telling everybody, we can't afford the illegal migrants anymore. 0:08:42.017 --> 0:08:43.817 The city of Viewer can't afford them now. I just 0:08:43.817 --> 0:08:46.417 think this is so interesting because I thought we weren't 0:08:46.417 --> 0:08:48.937 allowed to say that they were a drain on public resources. Well, 0:08:48.977 --> 0:08:50.977 when when did we just stop to when did we 0:08:51.017 --> 0:08:55.297 skip to all of a sudden legal migrants are really expensive? Right? No? 0:08:55.457 --> 0:08:58.177 And I mean it does. I think it ought to 0:08:58.217 --> 0:09:01.577 remind people what a total hero and genius the governor 0:09:01.697 --> 0:09:05.897 of Florida is, Ron de Santos. That Martha's vineyard stunt 0:09:06.097 --> 0:09:10.537 was the most brilliant political stunt. That's what real media 0:09:10.537 --> 0:09:14.697 calls it, stunt, the most brilliant political stunt of my lifetime. 0:09:15.017 --> 0:09:19.097 Now you have the very very very progressive gay governor 0:09:19.137 --> 0:09:22.577 of Colorado doing the exact same thing. He's sending his 0:09:22.697 --> 0:09:27.017 illegals to New York. And suddenly these liberal states that 0:09:27.617 --> 0:09:32.977 in this home we believe, suddenly they get they get 0:09:32.977 --> 0:09:35.377 a look at what it's like having the Third World 0:09:35.497 --> 0:09:38.817 dumped in their towns and cities and schools and hospitals, 0:09:39.137 --> 0:09:42.257 and not so himp to it. Now, one other thing 0:09:42.257 --> 0:09:45.857 I wanted to mention before the moment passes. Obviously, I 0:09:45.937 --> 0:09:50.417 love our border security guards. They're the last people you 0:09:50.457 --> 0:09:53.457 want to check with on what's needed at the border. 0:09:53.697 --> 0:09:56.457 This used to drive me crazy when Trump would do it. Well, 0:09:56.697 --> 0:09:58.937 I've talked to them, and you see, it's very important. 0:09:58.937 --> 0:10:01.777 They want a wall they can see through. No, you 0:10:01.857 --> 0:10:04.417 don't check with the people whose job will be made 0:10:04.537 --> 0:10:08.817 obsolete by a big, beautiful wall. No, no no, no, we 0:10:08.857 --> 0:10:10.537 can have breaks in it here. It don't just be 0:10:10.577 --> 0:10:12.737 easier for us here. And look, I love them, but 0:10:12.817 --> 0:10:15.137 everyone is like this. You don't want something that's going 0:10:15.177 --> 0:10:17.737 to replace your job. You don't want. I mean you've 0:10:17.737 --> 0:10:20.737 probably seen but and I mean even so, I've still 0:10:20.897 --> 0:10:25.377 even even the double fence for example, people people do 0:10:25.697 --> 0:10:28.817 so so the border patrol guys, when when I've spoken 0:10:28.897 --> 0:10:31.417 them about, I've seen illegals crossing. I've seen the whole 0:10:31.417 --> 0:10:33.017 thing happen in real time. It's not hard because it's 0:10:33.017 --> 0:10:36.177 happening constantly, thousands and thousands of people a day, and 0:10:36.257 --> 0:10:39.857 because of the fence, they're slowed down. But there's always 0:10:39.897 --> 0:10:41.617 gonna be ways to get through. I mean, so I'm 0:10:41.617 --> 0:10:44.337 saying you're gonna need you need border patrol even with 0:10:44.697 --> 0:10:46.537 the wall. Right, Like if you have a if you 0:10:46.577 --> 0:10:48.497 have a moat and a high wall at your castle, 0:10:48.577 --> 0:10:52.217 you'll still need knights to defend the castle. Otherwise, you know, 0:10:52.217 --> 0:10:53.537 there's no such thing as a wall that's going to 0:10:53.617 --> 0:10:55.577 do the job entirely for it saying they will be 0:10:55.657 --> 0:10:59.937 completely gone. But that's not that they are not experts 0:11:00.177 --> 0:11:02.737 on how to keep people out of your country. You 0:11:02.777 --> 0:11:06.137 know who are experts. Israel is an expert. Check with 0:11:06.177 --> 0:11:08.737 them on their wall. The first year they put it 0:11:08.817 --> 0:11:13.257 up illegal in ration one down by I believe ninety percent. 0:11:14.217 --> 0:11:16.697 It may be more than ninety percent. That wasn't good 0:11:16.777 --> 0:11:20.577 enough for Israel. So their wall goes deep, deep, deep 0:11:20.617 --> 0:11:23.257 into the ground.

So I asked you 0:12:43.497 --> 0:12:46.137 about we went right into the border round immigration and 0:12:46.297 --> 0:12:48.937 I think we could also just what was that I 0:12:49.737 --> 0:12:51.537 was just saying I've won my pillow and I do 0:12:51.657 --> 0:12:54.497 like it. Yeah, they're amazing. No, it's a great company. 0:12:54.537 --> 0:12:57.577 There's a reason why so many people sleep so soundly 0:12:57.617 --> 0:12:59.857 on it. I actually I also wear the little the moccasins, 0:12:59.897 --> 0:13:02.937 the little um like the little slippers. The slippers are great, 0:13:03.137 --> 0:13:05.217 although less need for them in Miami these days than 0:13:05.217 --> 0:13:07.217 I had in New York, right because you know, feet 0:13:07.257 --> 0:13:10.097 are a little bit less cold, but I still love them. So, 0:13:10.417 --> 0:13:11.857 you know how, there's this big thing about the speaker 0:13:11.857 --> 0:13:14.137 of the house. I want to ask you something, you 0:13:14.297 --> 0:13:16.777 know how these things there was all this bruha. However, 0:13:16.817 --> 0:13:18.097 who the Speaker of the House is going to be. 0:13:18.537 --> 0:13:21.457 There's a part of me that was amazed at what 0:13:21.577 --> 0:13:23.977 seemed like people caring so much about this. And I 0:13:24.057 --> 0:13:27.897 kept trying to generally tell everybody doesn't gonna affect your 0:13:27.937 --> 0:13:30.377 life at all. Is there a way we can start 0:13:30.377 --> 0:13:33.497 to tell people things like, hey, there are things to 0:13:33.537 --> 0:13:35.937 be fired up about, Like I think people should be 0:13:36.017 --> 0:13:38.537 much more fired up about. How, you know, fentonyl not 0:13:38.537 --> 0:13:40.177 to go back to the border thing, but fentyl is 0:13:40.377 --> 0:13:43.337 a drug scourge that is far worse than anything we've 0:13:43.377 --> 0:13:45.657 ever seen. In this country, and yet it's like not 0:13:45.777 --> 0:13:49.177 something that's focused on the news. Meanwhile, the news focused 0:13:49.177 --> 0:13:51.617 on the Speaker of the House issue with McCart Like, 0:13:51.697 --> 0:13:53.617 what do you make of all that? Did you? Did 0:13:53.657 --> 0:13:56.937 you care? Does it matter? Will it matter? My advice 0:13:57.217 --> 0:14:01.457 is cut the cord, don't watch cable. I think we're 0:14:01.457 --> 0:14:04.457 the only ones care. I generally have MSNBC on in 0:14:04.497 --> 0:14:07.577 the background just so I can monitor the enemy. But 0:14:07.577 --> 0:14:10.497 it's been pretty much January sixth. Oh there's and there 0:14:10.537 --> 0:14:12.937 was UK Crane for a while, and there's been one 0:14:13.137 --> 0:14:17.177 exciting new story that representative of Santos as at George 0:14:17.177 --> 0:14:20.857 Santos know their cover and that like January sixth and 0:14:20.977 --> 0:14:25.097 for the speaker vote. But then you would, you'd you'd 0:14:25.097 --> 0:14:27.137 go out on the street and talk to normal people, 0:14:27.177 --> 0:14:31.377 and no one, absolutely no one cared. Now as a 0:14:31.417 --> 0:14:34.817 political you know, nut as we are, and probably a 0:14:34.857 --> 0:14:38.097 lot of a lot of your listeners and my readers are. 0:14:38.657 --> 0:14:40.777 I actually think it was a great thing. I think 0:14:40.777 --> 0:14:43.257 they got a lot of good concessions out of McCarthy. 0:14:43.537 --> 0:14:45.937 I think they're a lot of great Republicans. There are 0:14:45.937 --> 0:14:48.137 a few things that were stupid about it, but by 0:14:48.217 --> 0:14:51.217 and large, I mean, we ended up avoiding having Dan 0:14:51.417 --> 0:14:55.657 Crenshaw as head of Homeland Committee in the House. That's 0:14:55.697 --> 0:14:58.457 a good thing right there, And it's sort of it's 0:14:58.497 --> 0:15:03.057 always good to scare Republican politicians, especially Republican politicians who 0:15:03.057 --> 0:15:05.137 have been there for a while, the ones who would 0:15:05.137 --> 0:15:09.017 like to go establishment. Listen to the donors. Give them 0:15:09.017 --> 0:15:11.577 a good scare every once in a while. Yeah, brush 0:15:11.657 --> 0:15:13.537 back pitch. I think I've learned a lot of sports 0:15:13.537 --> 0:15:15.537 from Clay by the way we talk about these things now, 0:15:16.017 --> 0:15:18.737 you know, I'm sort of like, yeah, that's a that's 0:15:18.817 --> 0:15:20.097 I can't even think of anything off the top of 0:15:20.097 --> 0:15:22.297 my head now, but that's a sports thing that people 0:15:22.377 --> 0:15:24.617 get excited about. But a brush back pitch, that's one 0:15:24.657 --> 0:15:26.737 that I know now, which I think is important for 0:15:26.737 --> 0:15:33.057 some Republicans, especially of the more establishment variety. What happened 0:15:33.177 --> 0:15:37.097 in your mind in the midterm election? What was the issue? 0:15:37.777 --> 0:15:40.617 Because I've started to see now finally I think people 0:15:40.737 --> 0:15:43.497 recognizing that there were some big problems. I know it 0:15:43.497 --> 0:15:46.217 was a few months ago, but I think I got 0:15:46.217 --> 0:15:48.017 a bit of your analysis. I wanted to hear a 0:15:48.057 --> 0:15:50.257 little more of what you think went down. Well, I 0:15:50.297 --> 0:15:56.337 think too many people in the Republican Party, conservative media donors. 0:15:56.817 --> 0:16:00.017 I think, as I've been trying to advise them, they've 0:16:00.017 --> 0:16:03.937 just been too afraid of Trump, and they were too 0:16:03.937 --> 0:16:05.897 what did to Trump? We have to run a candidate 0:16:05.977 --> 0:16:08.657 who was sucking up to Trump. We have to earn well. 0:16:08.697 --> 0:16:10.617 He's saying, you have to make the number one issue 0:16:10.617 --> 0:16:13.857 of the twenty twenty election, and he's a paper tiger. 0:16:13.897 --> 0:16:16.737 They shouldn't have done that. Republicans who were not wedded 0:16:16.737 --> 0:16:20.777 and beholden to Trump, I think did reasonably well. I 0:16:20.817 --> 0:16:24.017 mean Blake Masters when I saw his debate with Mark 0:16:24.097 --> 0:16:28.577 Kelly that was in Arizona, the astronaut incumbent Democrat running 0:16:28.577 --> 0:16:33.177 against this Blake Masters backed heavily by Silicon Valley's Peter Teel. 0:16:33.697 --> 0:16:35.977 When I saw that debate, I thought, oh my gosh, 0:16:35.977 --> 0:16:39.977 Blake Masters is the smartest guy, perhaps who has ever 0:16:40.097 --> 0:16:42.417 run for the United States Center. He was so good, 0:16:42.817 --> 0:16:46.417 so good. And then two days before the election, it's 0:16:46.457 --> 0:16:50.337 all over the Internet and Fox News Blake getting a 0:16:50.377 --> 0:16:53.457 call from Donald's Trump and acting like he's a teenage 0:16:53.537 --> 0:16:58.857 girl talking to Justin Bieber. He's calling me, He's calling me, 0:16:58.937 --> 0:17:01.577 and what is Trump haranguing him about you're not making 0:17:01.657 --> 0:17:05.177 twenty twenty then number one election when Trump showed up 0:17:05.177 --> 0:17:07.537 in Ohio and I love JD. Vanton he showed up 0:17:07.537 --> 0:17:09.657 in Ohio, I don't know. The day before the election 0:17:10.097 --> 0:17:13.457 held people working for Jdvans saying if I lived in Ohio, 0:17:13.497 --> 0:17:16.017 I've been voting against Jdvans just because of this speech. 0:17:16.057 --> 0:17:18.857 This is just get away from him. He won the 0:17:18.977 --> 0:17:22.817 nomination run on your own two feet, and so obviously 0:17:23.817 --> 0:17:26.697 that I'm not alone in that analysis the Trump Act 0:17:26.817 --> 0:17:30.657 candidates and the ones that ended up winning nominations because 0:17:30.657 --> 0:17:33.137 people were afraid, oh, but what if we don't get 0:17:33.177 --> 0:17:35.457 the Trump voters? What if we don't get the Trump voters? 0:17:35.657 --> 0:17:39.857 And the other issue. So Trump was a total disaster 0:17:39.937 --> 0:17:42.817 for the mid terms, and I think luckily people have 0:17:42.937 --> 0:17:46.337 seen that now, so it won't we hopefully won't have 0:17:46.377 --> 0:17:48.817 the same thing happened in presidential Asia and the other one. 0:17:49.217 --> 0:17:52.657 You know. I've been pro life pretty much my whole life. 0:17:53.057 --> 0:17:56.577 I've written articles on it in the Human Life Review 0:17:56.657 --> 0:17:59.577 back when I was practicing law. I've had debates on 0:17:59.617 --> 0:18:04.657 it at Ivy League campuses. I am pro life. I 0:18:04.697 --> 0:18:07.097 think it was stupid for some of these states. I 0:18:07.097 --> 0:18:10.097 mean the most one of the most important things is 0:18:10.377 --> 0:18:13.697 getting rid of the monstrosity of Roe v. Wade and 0:18:13.737 --> 0:18:18.457 the idea that this really terrible thing, an abortion, is 0:18:18.457 --> 0:18:23.617 a constitutional right, that that's what our framers we're thinking of. Okay, 0:18:23.697 --> 0:18:27.737 so yea, we won pop Champagne. It goes back to 0:18:27.777 --> 0:18:30.097 the states, and I think most of the states again 0:18:30.177 --> 0:18:33.137 I will credit run to Santas and Florida and a 0:18:33.177 --> 0:18:36.137 lot of states did this. Republicans just jumped in and 0:18:36.177 --> 0:18:40.377 said abortions for the first would vary twelve weeks, seven weeks, 0:18:40.417 --> 0:18:43.777 fifteen weeks, sixteen weeks, and that's it, and that's it. 0:18:44.257 --> 0:18:48.577 And that seems after looking at the internal election, that 0:18:48.617 --> 0:18:50.937 seems to be the consensus position. And I don't think 0:18:50.937 --> 0:18:55.177 it's hypocritical for pro lifers or Republicans to take that position. 0:18:55.657 --> 0:18:59.337 You can say I would never have an abortion. I 0:18:59.337 --> 0:19:02.817 would counsel anyone in my family or anyone anyone I 0:19:02.857 --> 0:19:05.977 could talk to don't have an abortion. But you're talking 0:19:05.977 --> 0:19:10.177 about a law that probably would would. I mean, it's 0:19:10.217 --> 0:19:12.657 hard to say this is a human life and this 0:19:12.697 --> 0:19:15.817 isn't a crime. There's got to be a penalty, there's 0:19:15.817 --> 0:19:18.617 got to be a fine. There could be, as one 0:19:18.617 --> 0:19:22.417 of Trump's candidates was suggesting a murder charge for the woman. 0:19:22.457 --> 0:19:24.057 I mean, there's got to be something. And I think 0:19:24.097 --> 0:19:26.937 people who are even pro life are saying, I don't 0:19:26.937 --> 0:19:29.497 want the law to say that though I wouldn't have 0:19:29.577 --> 0:19:32.537 an abortion, and I do think this is a human life, 0:19:32.697 --> 0:19:35.017 and Republicans have got to stop doing I mean some 0:19:35.057 --> 0:19:37.617 of these states and some of the bills, No, it's 0:19:37.617 --> 0:19:40.337 a life from the moment of conception, and will prosecute 0:19:40.337 --> 0:19:44.377 the woman for for murder? I mean it becomes sometimes Republicans. 0:19:44.417 --> 0:19:46.577 We saw this a lot with the Tea Party, and 0:19:46.657 --> 0:19:48.217 I think we saw it too much of it in 0:19:48.257 --> 0:19:50.577 the midterms. And that is this idea, I mean, this 0:19:50.777 --> 0:19:54.137 Todd Aiken thing of you know, watch this, I'm gonna 0:19:54.337 --> 0:19:56.737 I'm gonna make the basket from over my shoulder. No, 0:19:56.897 --> 0:19:59.257 don't show off to the zealots. We're trying to save 0:19:59.297 --> 0:20:02.297 a country here. Who could save the country. I mean 0:20:02.337 --> 0:20:05.417 we were just talking a second ago about obviously Trump, 0:20:05.577 --> 0:20:08.377 which just so you know, whenever you do, you get 0:20:08.497 --> 0:20:10.577 I get all the emails that are agree. I'm like, 0:20:10.617 --> 0:20:12.537 I'm not Ann's keeper, Like I don't know what to 0:20:12.577 --> 0:20:15.697 tell peof I'm not in charge of the culture flame 0:20:16.177 --> 0:20:18.457 when it starts. You know, it's amazing to be because 0:20:20.377 --> 0:20:25.097 I just I want your viewers to know Buck Sexton 0:20:25.377 --> 0:20:29.577 is my keeper. If you have complaints, email Buck. I 0:20:29.617 --> 0:20:31.577 mean they do, They're like, how dare you have that? Wo? 0:20:31.697 --> 0:20:34.177 But I'm like, first of all, like, if we're gonna 0:20:34.217 --> 0:20:37.257 talk about people's credentials, uh, and you know and and 0:20:37.337 --> 0:20:39.817 I know each other personally, people's credentials and conservative movement, 0:20:40.097 --> 0:20:42.457 there has to be a level at which one's conservatism 0:20:42.537 --> 0:20:44.577 is not a thing that we're going to really sort 0:20:44.617 --> 0:20:47.457 of question anymore based on a political candidate or whatever. 0:20:47.977 --> 0:20:49.657 I would think that we could get there at some 0:20:49.737 --> 0:20:52.177
