Speaker 2: Welcome everybody. Tuesday edition of Clay and Bucks starts right now.

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: A busy news day, much to get to also have

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: some excellent guess let's talk guests just for a moment

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: so you know where we are heading. We'll have our

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: friend Ryan Gradusky in the second hour of the program

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: just let you know. He's got a piece up where

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: he makes the case that Trump is currently at this

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: stage of a cycle, including twenty sixteen cycle and twenty twenty,

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: in the strongest position he has ever been in to

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: win the presidents which is amazing on so many levels,

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: based on the numbers, based on what's going on in

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,319
Speaker 2: the Swing States. Ryan will break that down. It's too

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: early to you know, do anything other than just look

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: at this and take it in. We're a year out

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: year and you know, a couple of weeks. But it's

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: very interesting and we wanted to address that with Ryan.

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: Also the speaker fight in that we just all wanted

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: to end. We'll talk to Ryan about that and Clay

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 2: and I will have some updates for you throughout the show.

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: There's voting ongoing. There are a few candidates who are

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: still in the mix you've had as of this morning,

24
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: Byron Donald's of Florida, Tom Emmer of Minnesota, Kevin Hearn

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: of Oklahoma, Mike Johnson of Louisiana. You know, it's kind

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: of a merry go round situation here. We'll see who

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: ends up as actually speaker and then we can stop

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 2: talking about it, which would be fantastic. We'll discuss that,

29
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: and we also have a special guest who'll be joining

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: in the third hour of the program. Clint Romesha is

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: a former staff sergeant Medal of Honor recipient. He's gonna

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: talk to us about what he's doing to help veterans,

33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: some veterans programs he's involved in. If you saw the

34
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: movie The Outpost, Clint Eastwood's son, I think Scott Eastwood

35
00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: plays Romesha, and it's you know, it's a really harrowing

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: tale of a very long gun battle in Afghanistan, one

37
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: of the longer ongoing gun battles. So we will discuss firefights.

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that coming up. Let's oh, also a news

39
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: item here. Jenna Ellis has pleaded guilty in the Georgia case.

40
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: Now she was involved in some capacity in the election

41
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: stuff in twenty twenty. We'll get to some of that,

42
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: but she's just getting five years of probation. I think

43
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: it's interesting to see that maybe they're just going to

44
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 2: try to process as many guilty pleased as possible. Okay,

45
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: we'll get into all of that, and I want to

46
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 2: talk to Clay about the legal realities there. But the

47
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 2: updates we have for you right now. On Israel, more

48
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: air strikes over the night, air strikes intensifying. Biden has

49
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: said there won't be a ceasefire in Gaza until after

50
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: hostages are released. He cut his remarks yesterday as he

51
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: had to head to the situation room. I thought this

52
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: was interesting. Clay Macron of France has said the international

53
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: military coalition that fought ISIS should come together to fight Hamas,

54
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: meaning treating Hamas like it is ISIS, but something else.

55
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: And I know that this kind of crosses over more

56
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: into our domestic political scene. Some of the pro Palestine stuff.

57
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I want you to tell everybody you know

58
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: where soccer as she now soccer player Megan Rappino comes down.

59
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: Some of the pro Palestine stuff, like this very aggressive

60
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: protest in New York city that happened where there were arrests. Clay,

61
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: I see signs. I've got a sign in front of

62
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: me and hat tip end wokeness on Twitter, reproductive justice

63
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: means free Palestine. It's like we're watching the left have

64
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: a nervous breakdown in real time. I mean, what are

65
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: you seeing with some of this the Rapino stuff? Is

66
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: I know something you've been talking to me about?

67
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, so a colleague sent me this this morning. I

68
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 3: woke up and obviously I'm not paying attention to Meghan

69
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: Rapino's friggin Instagram. God bless you if you are and

70
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: you happen to listen to us. I would think the

71
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 3: Vin diagram of paying attention to Megan rapinos Instagram and

72
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: Clay and buck listeners is a completely separate circles. But

73
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: in the event that this overlaps. So. Megan Rapino, for

74
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: those of you who don't know, is the US women's

75
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: soccer player who refused to stand for the national anthem

76
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: because she said America is a fundamentally racist place. She

77
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: refused to take a trip to the White House when

78
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: Donald Trump invited the women's soccer team, which won the

79
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: championship in twenty nineteen in France to come to the

80
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: White House to celebrate the fact that they had won

81
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: the World Cup.

82
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: She refused to go.

83
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: She bullied, according to a lot of reports, other members

84
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: of the soccer team into making that same choice. She

85
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 3: tried to bully them all into kneeling. She is not

86
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: a good person in terms of the way that she's

87
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: used her platform in my opinion, politically she's been divisive

88
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: and also a lot of you out there who do

89
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: pay attention to sports actually loved that. The final moment

90
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 3: of Megan Repino's World Cup career Buck was her air

91
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: mailing a penalty kick in the in the at the

92
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: end of the game to try to beat I think

93
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 3: it was I can't even remember Sweden. Maybe one of

94
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: those one of those, one of those countries beat us.

95
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: I think it was Sweden.

96
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: But she airmailed.

97
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: It went far right, ironically enough on her on her miss,

98
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: which shouldn't happen obviously for a star in uh In

99
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: in soccer. So she is married to Sue byrd Buck,

100
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: who is Sue Bird is I believe half Jewish and

101
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 3: is it has an Israeli passport. Sue Bird is a

102
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: very talented women's basketball player Megan Repino, lesbian married to

103
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: Sue Bird. She is raising money on her Instagram account

104
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: for people in Gaza Buck. She has a BLM headphoto,

105
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 3: she has her pronouns in her bio. Of course, she

106
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: has the gay Pride flag. I believe I'm trying to

107
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 3: zoom in. I can't tell for sure, but I think

108
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: that's what it is. And she is married to a

109
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 3: Jewish woman who has Israeli citizenship. That would be could

110
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: have been murdered if she had happened to be in

111
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 3: that area that Hamas invaded. She is a lesbian woman

112
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: living and married under the protections of the United States.

113
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: She would be murdered, probably stoned to death in Hamas

114
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: for being a lesbian who's married to an Israeli. I

115
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: don't think there's any doubt about this yet. The politics

116
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 3: of her branding is so broken that she is raising

117
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: money for Hamas, And I think all of those are

118
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: a lot of dett tells, but I think it's emblematic

119
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: of the collapse of the entire identity politics universe.

120
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 2: And I think there I know this.

121
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: There are tons of people listening to us right now,

122
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 3: Buck who are Jewish, who would have never listened to

123
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: us before, but have been tipped off, gotten notification. Hey,

124
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: these guys are one hundred percent right. They're calling terrorist terrorists,

125
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: and there's almost no one in media who will do it.

126
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: It's crazy, you know, you see the conflation in a sense,

127
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: although I do there is some connective tissue with all

128
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: these causes other than just I think being wrong, being

129
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: wrong on the issue. That's that's a connection. But all

130
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: of a sudden blm transwrites, you know, racial justice, you know,

131
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: climate change, anti colonialism, Palestine, all this stuff is wrapped together,

132
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: and you say, what is going on here? Like what

133
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: kind of mass delusion are people operating under? Himan? How

134
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: could it you know, reach this point? And you also

135
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: have something else going on that I find I know

136
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,559
Speaker 2: why they're doing it. You know, Barack Obama put out

137
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: a statement, right, and I think it was like a

138
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: reading list, right, he put out a list of things

139
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 2: to read. Well, he put out readings, but he also

140
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: put a statement on the conflict. And and there's this

141
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: this thing now and you know, Tony Blinken, whom I

142
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: have it on good authority from friends in the national

143
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: security side. On on the career side, is an incompetent

144
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: just for the just so you know, I really ask people,

145
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 2: I say, look, is I disagree with the guy, but

146
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: is he really sharp? Does he really know you know

147
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: what time it is? They say, no, he's he's a

148
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 2: kind of a classic company man for the government buffoon.

149
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: But Blincoln was doing the same thing today in remarks

150
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: this morning. And what they do is they keep saying, oh, well,

151
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: we want to remind Israel to act in a humanitarian fashion,

152
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: and this just gives more you know, gives more cover

153
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 2: in a sense to the people walking around saying stop

154
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: the genocide in Gaza. There's no genocide going on in Gaza. Okay.

155
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: If Hamas could commit a genocide in Israel, it would

156
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: do so, and it says it would do so. It

157
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 2: has shown us that it has the willingness based on

158
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: the actions of this terrorist attack. But it says openly

159
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: from the river to the sea, get rid of all

160
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: of the Jews. It is calling for a genocide and

161
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 2: ethnic cleansing of Jews from the state of Israel. That

162
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: is in it is effectively Hamasa's charter. On the other

163
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: side of things, Israel is taking time to negotiate for

164
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: hostages to work with allies to try to you know,

165
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: limit when the ground invasion starts civilian casualties, to prepare

166
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: for the possibility of a northern front. There's already been

167
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: some exchanges of rocket fire in the north with Hesbelah.

168
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: Israel's making all these preparations, and Barack Obama's putting out

169
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 2: a statement to tell Israel that it's in its interest

170
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: to you know, conduct itself in the most humanitarian fashion possible. Yeah,

171
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: they know, Clay, you know what I mean? Like this

172
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: is it's the the the babylon be put out a

173
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: a what do you call a meme today that I

174
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: thought really did get to this, you know, and it

175
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: was Emperor Hirohido calls for ceasefire after bombing of Pearl Harbor.

176
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a little bit of what we're seeing,

177
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: you know, the ceasefire calls after this mass casualty terror attack.

178
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: If somebody was calling for a ceasefire for nine eleven,

179
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: you would have thought that they were out of their

180
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 2: mind or that they were just nefarious and that they

181
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: thought America, you know, wanted it. Then what you're hearing

182
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: now are ceasefire calls simultaneously with there's a stop the

183
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 2: genocide in Gaza. There is no genocide in Gaza. That

184
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: is a lie, and the Israelis are not trying to

185
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: conduct nor will they conduct, the genocide in Gaza. But

186
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: these are the two ways that they try to take

187
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: the victimizers Hamas and make them the victims.

188
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is also I think where social media

189
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 3: can become dangerous, and and I mean this, whatever you believe,

190
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: there is a viral video out there that you can

191
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 3: post to justify your side's position. So whatever videos are

192
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: out there, and by the way, nowadays the technology has

193
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: gotten so advanced you don't even know if the videos

194
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: are real. But there are going to be young, innocent

195
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: people in Palestine that die as a result of the

196
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: Hamas terror attack, which has created a necessity for a

197
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: response from Israel. So you can be simultaneously of the

198
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: opinion that you never want a civilian to die, which

199
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: I think all good and reasonable people are, and also

200
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: simultaneously understand that war is hell and that fighting is

201
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 3: going to mean that there are deaths, sometimes of innocence,

202
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: and it's always important to remember that there are just wars.

203
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: And if Hamas and Palestine did not want to be

204
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: in a war, then they shouldn't have started a friggin war.

205
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: And I think the analogy is good for Emperor he Orhido.

206
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: I think it's really very persuasive for people out there

207
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 3: after nine to eleven. Can you imagine can you imagine

208
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: buck if within that, while we're still watching and standing

209
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 3: in the rubble of the World Trade centers, there had

210
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: been legitimate arguments being made by Congress people that it

211
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: was necessary that there be a ceasefire because we didn't

212
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: want to hurt innocent people in our pursuit.

213
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: Of al Qaeda. Bad faith demands for peace can actually

214
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: be used as a weapon, you know, depending on when

215
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: you are making those demands, right, if all of a sudden,

216
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: if Japan, I mean, I think back to, I think

217
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 2: back to I think it's dead of honor. The Tom

218
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: Clancy novel, which is the Tom Clancy novel where he

219
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: flies This is pre nine to eleven. A Japanese pilot

220
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: to get revenge on the US flies a plane into

221
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: a joint session of Congress and you know, hits the

222
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: Capitol building pre nine to eleven. Anyway, a little little

223
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 2: bit of a shock when you go back in history

224
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: and think about this. The client part of that is

225
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: the Japanese effectively launch you know, the plot, the the

226
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: you know, the novel's plot is the Japanese seize back

227
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: a bunch of territories in the Pacific. They do so

228
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: very rapidly with pretty minimal US loss of life, and

229
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: they say, guys, let's let's just call it quits right here.

230
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: They also secretly develop nuclear missiles, right, so the guys,

231
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: we're done, let let's let's leave it here. And you say, well,

232
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 2: hold on a second, we're done now after the you know,

233
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: after the violations have occurred, right, I mean, it's it's

234
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: completely contrary to a sense of justice and also contrary

235
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: to a sense of security because there's an ongoing threat

236
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 2: from Hamas. It's not like hamas As retreating. People are

237
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: talking about, oh, the lessons we've learned in Afghanistan and Iraq. Yeah,

238
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: but geographically this would be like, you know, this would

239
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: be like New Jersey launching a terror attack against New York.

240
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: They're right next to each other, they share a border.

241
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: You can't just say, okay, we're gonna let this one go.

242
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: You're far away. Maybe we'll figure out peace in the future.

243
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: They're an ongoing threat clay. That's the part of this

244
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: that people I mean, they're still firing off rockets.

245
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little bit like if a cartel came

246
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: across our southern border, killed fourteen hundred people, and then

247
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: went back across the southern border in Mexico tried to say, hey,

248
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 3: you shouldn't respond to the cartel Mexico demand ceasefire after

249
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: fourteen hundred Americans killed by cartel. That's exactly what the

250
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 3: similar you know, or I should say exactly, but that's

251
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 3: a very close.

252
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: Situation to what we're seeing here. That's why the ceasefire

253
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: demands to stop the genocide demands. I mean, they're using

254
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: this term genocide just because it's so emotionally loaded. To

255
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: use the term genocide wrongly to stop the Jewish people

256
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: from defending themselves is a particularly disgraceful thing to do.

257
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: Acularly, because Hamas actually would do a genocide if they could,

258
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: and the fourteen hundred people they killed are emblematic of

259
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: what their genocide.

260
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: Would look like. This is the inversion of reality and

261
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: morality at the same time. Look number shocking. More than

262
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: thirty eight thousand US veterans experiencing homelessness across our nation.

263

Speaker 3: Welcome Back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show Appreciate all

282
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: of you hanging out with us. We got Ryan Gardusky

283
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 3: about to join us right now. He's got a fantastic

284
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: piece up. It is called the Trump Biden Path to

285
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 3: two seventy. How the presidential campaign is changing fast. The

286
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: substack is National Populist Newsletter. You guys love Ryan Gardusky,

287
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 3: and I say this fondly because he can nerd out

288
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: with the best of them when it comes to analyzing

289
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 3: so many different parameters, so many different races. We've had

290
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: him on a lot over the past couple of years. Ryan,

291
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: thanks for joining us. You were initially I think it's

292
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: fair to characterize skeptical that Trump in twenty twenty four

293
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 3: would be able to put together a coalition that could

294
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 3: lead him to victory. As we sit here thirteen months

295
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: out and you are looking and checking and analyzing all

296
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: the data sources coming in, you actually are coming around

297
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 3: to a place where I think Buck and I have

298
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: been for the last couple of months, which is Trump's

299
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 3: actually in a really strong place. If you consider where

300
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 3: he was, for instance, in October of fifteen October of nineteen,

301
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: he was actually in a pretty strong place that was

302
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 3: pre COVID. But how would you assess Trump's chances in

303
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 3: twenty four and how do they compare to his historical standing, Ryan,

304
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: And thanks for joining us.

305
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, thanks for having me. I would say right now,

306
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 4: say in the began the year, he had about a

307
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 4: thirty percent twenty five to thirty percent chance of winning.

308
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: He's probably at around a forty to forty five er

309
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 4: so in chance of winning right now. So if I

310
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 4: was a betting man, my money would still be on

311
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 4: Joe Biden to win reelection. But odds have gotten a

312
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 4: lot better for Trump in a very very short period

313
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 4: of time, despite the news cycle actually getting worse for him,

314
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: Polls at least and some hard data on the ground

315
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 4: has been getting better. So on the national scene, and

316
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 4: that Loby, you have seen these election, these polls where

317
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: it has shown either Trump tied or Trump winning or

318
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: losing by a point, versus polls in twenty twenty and

319
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen that had him losing by five, six, seven,

320
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 4: eight points. So in the national scene, it's coming very,

321
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 4: very good for Trump. The thing is is that Trump

322
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 4: in the past always outperformed in state polling the national polling.

323
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 4: Now they kind of reflect each other, and state polling

324
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 4: for the very first time is showing that Trump, if

325
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: the election were held today, would win the presidency two

326
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty one Electoral College votes to two hundred

327
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 4: and fifty seven. And how we would do that. If

328
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: you'd flip hour zone Georgia and Pennsylvania, he'd still lose

329
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 4: the other four big swing states right now with Poland,

330
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 4: which is Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Virginia. So that being

331
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 4: said that Trump now looks better than not only did

332
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 4: he did in twenty sixteen, he also looks better than

333
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 4: he did in October twenty nineteen. He looks actually far

334
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 4: better than he did and poll wise even before COVID

335
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 4: because at the time the opinion of Trump was so

336
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 4: negative and they were running they were running on his

337
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 4: record versus running on someone else's record.

338
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: Ryan, what's really you think at this point? Is it

339
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 2: just the various indictments and the response to that, Like

340
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: why have the numbers trended more in Trump's favor up

341
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 2: to this point this year?

342
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the economy. I mean, the economy is just

343
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 4: absolute garbage every which way you look at it. I

344
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 4: don't even believe the government statistics right now on food prices.

345
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: I think that food prices have probably doubled in the

346
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 4: last two years. I think that it's no way it's

347
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: only a fifteen percent. Mortgages are over eight percent. It's

348
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 4: just it's everywhere you go. It's an attack on the

349
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 4: middle of a working craft, especially those easily persuadable by

350
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 4: the economy. Upper middle class people who tend to have

351
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 4: more cash are less willing to move. But those are

352
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 4: the things that really are, you know, in everyone's face

353
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 4: all the time, the way that gas prices were kind

354
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 4: of in their faith last year and going to twenty

355
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 4: twenty one when you saw Glenn Younkin win. The other

356
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 4: thing that is also building momentum for Trump is that

357
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 4: one of the border is completely broken, which dries Republicans crazy.

358
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 4: And then international conflicts in Ukraine and in Israel have

359
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 4: really up the momentum that Joe Biden cannot lead on

360
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 4: an international stage. So it's the perfect storm of the

361
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: economy and inflation being the main driver of negative feelings

362
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 4: towards Biden. There are absolutely right now at the bottom

363
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: and the worst it's ever been for his entire presidency.

364
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 3: Okay, so you have talked a lot about how you

365
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: know Trump maybe in some of these national polls, like

366
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: maybe he's pulling better in New York, maybe he's pulling

367
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: better in California, But being better in New York or

368
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 3: California doesn't necessarily matter because those states are not going

369
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 3: to be close.

370
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: How many states?

371
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: Let's presume for just a moment that everything went perfect

372
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 3: for Trump in his campaign and you know, he really

373
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 3: made a run. How many states do you think are

374
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: actually flippable for Trump?

375
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 5: Right?

376
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 3: So my suspicion and the reason I'm asking this is,

377
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: and I'm sure you saw it, there's a Quinnipiac poll

378
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 3: out that has with multiple different candidates involved, has Trump

379
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: only down seven in New York? For instance? If Trump

380
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: only lost New York by seven, that would mean he

381
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: would be capable in your mind of winning. How many

382
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 3: other states are there? States that almost nobody talks about

383
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: that if Trump had a real run, could be in play,

384
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 3: Like what would that board look like?

385
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 4: So the main states that Trump has in play right now?

386
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 4: Or they're five, right, which is Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,

387
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 4: and the.

388
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 5: Bottis are six.

389
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 4: They're six if you look at twenty sixteen, which is

390
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: when both candidates were incredibly unpopular, and you had third

391
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 4: party candidates running very very high over five percent threshold,

392
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 4: which is Gary Johnson and the Green part Jill Stein

393
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: at the time. I think they ran like six or

394
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: seven points. Right now, you have RFK Junior, you'll have

395
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: a Libertarian, you'll have a Green Party, and you may

396
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 4: have Cornell West on the ballot.

397
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: And sorry, let me ask you this because you're what

398
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: percentage if you were projecting right now, do you think

399
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: third parties would take if we got a Trump Biden rematch? Like,

400
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 3: how many people would come off the board with all

401
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 3: those candidates you just mentioned.

402
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: At the best, I would say as of right now,

403
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 4: And there's no real nation upolling on a lot of this,

404
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 4: I don't really know. Maybe six percent, maybe five percent.

405
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 4: Biden and and Trump are historically unpopular for two major

406
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 4: party candids, the most since twenty so that's the reference

407
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 4: I'm going with. RFK Junior seems to be fairly popular

408
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 4: and be a poll but they don't really know much

409
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 4: about him. He's kind of done this very complex campaign

410
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 4: where he's supporting like a border wall and no vax

411
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 4: mandates and at the same time he's supporting reparations for slavery,

412
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 4: So it's this complex coalition he's just trying to assemble.

413
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 4: So let's I would say probably between five or six,

414
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 4: which is maybe two to three points more than you'll

415
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 4: averagely get. And obviously it's higher in some states and

416
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 4: lower in the others, but it depends largely on what

417
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 4: ballots does he get on. Has the Green Party gotten

418
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: on the ballot in Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin in twenty

419
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 4: sixteen twenty twenty, there's a very high likelihood that Trump

420
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 4: would have won re election they weren't on the ballot,

421
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 4: So we don't know if that will even be manifest itself.

422
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 4: But if you look at twenty sixteen, where the situation

423
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 4: was very high disapproval, which were both party's third party

424
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 4: counts running strong. The only other states in my mind

425
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 4: I could see getting closed or close in would be

426
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 4: New Hampshire, Minnesota, and then once again Nevada. Could Virginia.

427
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 4: I don't know. We'll see what Virginia's elections are like

428
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 4: in a week. I kind of doubt that. Could New Mexico,

429
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 4: I don't know. Let's see what Hispanics move a little bit,

430
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 4: but the main two ones are New Hampshire and Minnesota.

431
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 2: Ryan, you know Whishpad, Ryan Gandrowski, everybody and his substack

432
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: is excellent, The National Populist newsletter recommended to You can

433
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: subscribe on substack Ryan the Speaker fights. It looks like

434
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 2: Tom Emmer is now the GOP favorite for the speaker's gavel? Well,

435
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: what is going on here? Like? What's your take on?

436
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: What does this mean? And how do we get here?

437
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 4: You play stupid games, you win stuper prizes. I mean,

438
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't understand what are conservatives ever actually winning?

439
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 4: What were they winning? Was it to get out of you?

440
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 4: What was the point of doing this? I mean, I

441
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 4: get him McCarthy broke his promises. Okay, I completely understand that,

442
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,719
Speaker 4: But what are we going to get out of an

443
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 4: EMM or that we weren't going to get a McCarthy.

444
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 4: It just doesn't make any sense to me. And because

445
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: conservatives seem to always rally around whoever they've seen on

446
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 4: television the most, they spent all this time wasting energy

447
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 4: on Jim Jordan and then Byron Donald's, neither of which

448
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: would have been a viable speaker choice. Neither of which well,

449
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know Donalds's record that much, but

450
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 4: Jim Jordan would have been absolutely disappointing speaker if he

451
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 4: would have been picked speaker for Conservatives. And I don't

452
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 4: know what the point of any of this is.

453
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 2: Mean, why would Jim Jordan. I mean, we like Jim here,

454
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering, why would Jim Jordan have been dis

455
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: disappointing in your mind?

456
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: I mean, it's a big sellout to big tech. When

457
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 4: they were having the big tech sensoring Conservatives things, he

458
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 4: was on the side of big tech. He gets a

459
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 4: lot of donations from big tech.

460
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 3: It's extract I will defend Jim Jordan a little bit

461
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: there based on my knowledge. I spoke on a panel

462
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 3: with him about big tech. Now, I don't know about

463
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 3: his donors, but I think he's actually been really on

464
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: the side of recognizing what censorship has been.

465
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: But let's put that on.

466
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: I think we agree that we've gotten into a mess here.

467
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: So what, in your mind, Ryan is the solution at

468
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 3: this point? And for people out there who are just

469
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 3: getting in their cars or just hanging out with us.

470
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 3: Tom Emmer is evidently the nominee now, and there are

471
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 3: reports that he doesn't have the votes on the House

472
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: floor either. So a part of me, Bucket and Ryan,

473
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: a part of me wonders if we're gonna remember the

474
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 3: do over thing I used as an example, buck where

475
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 3: like if you played kickball back in the day and

476
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 3: it was a close call, you'd be like, let's.

477
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: Just do it over.

478
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 3: Part of me thinks that Kevin McCarthy might end up

479
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: back in the speaker chair before all this is over,

480
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: and they'll just pretend none of this happened.

481
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: What do you think happens.

482
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: Ryan, Yeah, I mean that could always be a possibility,

483
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 4: though I find it very hard. The majority is too thin,

484
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 4: and Emmer is an example of somebody who fails forwards.

485
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 4: He did a terrible job running the midterms for the GOP.

486
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: Is why they're in this position where so few members

487
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 4: have this much power. I think that I if I

488
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 4: was anybody of influence, I would have sat there and

489
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 4: told them all to rally around. Johnson from Louisiana. From

490
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 4: the very beginning, he raises the most money, he's pissed

491
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 4: off the fewest people, and he could actually do somewhat

492
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 4: of a decent job. And I think that that's basically

493
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 4: all you have to have now. Remember, the speakership is

494
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 4: not just somebody who puts people on committees or somebody

495
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 4: who h you know, puts bills up for a vote.

496
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 4: It's a national figure. It is the leader of the

497
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 4: party when the party is an opposition, He's got to

498
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 4: raise millions of dollars. He has to have a full

499
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 4: organization of political organization as well as keeping members in line,

500
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 4: keeping them happy, and have a vision for the country.

501
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 4: It's a very hard job. It's why Nancy Pelosi is

502
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 4: so uniquely good in her abilities as a Democrat. There

503
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 4: are there aren't that that many people on the on

504
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 4: the Demo on the Republican side, and I think rallying

505
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 4: to some people that there was no way that you know,

506
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 4: these Biden Republicans Republicans and in dish exciding one, we're

507
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 4: ever going to go to a bomb thrower like they

508
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 4: just were never going to support a bomb thrower. So

509
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,719
Speaker 4: find the most conservative person you can, who you know

510
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 4: appeases the moderates while being conservative, and then pick them

511
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 4: and just try to get through the rest of the year,

512
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 4: because if we have a shutdown without a speaker, I

513
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 4: don't really know what they're going to do.

514
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: Ryan, we asked you about the twenty twenty four race speaker.

515
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: The primary is also going on for the Republican nominee.

516
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 3: We didn't even ask you about that till now. Is

517
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 3: there any indication if you are a Ron Descantis, Nikki Hayley,

518
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: vive Garamasolm, who are you want to point to? Is

519
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 3: there any indication that there is going to be any

520
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: drama whatsoever in terms of the actual Republican primary or

521
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: is Trump, in your opinion, basically ended all of the

522
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 3: debate already.

523
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 4: I mean the caucus and I will be interesting because

524
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 4: it's a caucus, so you don't know who shows up.

525
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 4: It takes twelve forty twelve hours to do things at

526
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 4: the experience, it's not a primary, and it matters a

527
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 4: lot of organization that does favor Disantas. I think he

528
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 4: can overperform. Can he win? I'm not sure. Maybe the

529
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 4: governor will come in for him. The governors of Iowa

530
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 4: and New Hampshire seemed to be rolling around De Santas

531
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 4: without ever doing anything though and saying it. And it

532
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 4: matters a lot with Mike Pennce and Tim Scott, which

533
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 4: they basically look like they've thrown in the hat. Actually

534
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 4: throw in the hat and say, hey, let's pick one

535
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 4: person and actually support them and stop wasting time, which

536
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 4: is what they should have been doing for months if

537
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 4: they really want Trump not to win. So we'll see,

538
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: I mean, right now, obviously Trump is very favored to

539
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: do it, given you know less from the app as

540
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 4: he passes away or goes to jail. But aside from that,

541
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 4: he looks very likely to I just don't think it's

542
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 4: over till it's over. And if there's any place an

543
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 4: upset could happen, it's in Iowa.

544
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: How how are we looking for the House in the

545
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: next I know it's early, but it seems to me

546
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: that the consensus or the conventional wisdom, Ryan is Senate's

547
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 2: actually pretty good for Republicans in terms of what's up.

548
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: But what do you think about our chances to get

549
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: a bigger majority in the House or at least just

550
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: keep a majority.

551
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks right now or how House Republicans look

552
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 4: like the first time, and it's a saving Private Ryant,

553
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 4: it's a complete disaster. You have a case of redistricting

554
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 4: going on in New York, which we'll see what ends

555
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 4: up happening. If we Democrats try to redistrict aget in

556
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 4: New York. You have Republicans loss to seat. In Alabama,

557
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: there's a major core case going on on the Voting

558
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: Rights Act, which if the Supreme Court strikes down the

559
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 4: Voting Rights Act, it will probably net Republicans four to

560
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 4: five seats in the House because they'll stop drawing black

561
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 4: majority districts in the Deep South, which means they'll probably

562
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 4: be no Democrat left in Mississippi, Alabama, South Georgia, South Carolina.

563
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 4: They could all be gone. But if they don't strike

564
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 4: it down, it's likely Democrats will pick up extra seats

565
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 4: throughout the entire South. They just redistricted in North Carolina.

566
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 4: So all those fights are going on, and there's a

567
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 4: dozen Democrats and Republicans and Biden districts, and there's very

568
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 4: few possible pickups in Trump districts where Democrats sold. So

569
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 4: it's a difficult map. Trump would have to or whoever

570
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 4: the Republican onmanly would have to outperform a Trump did

571
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 4: by about two to three points nationally to make more

572
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 4: districts competitive, and Republicans are joining the smartest possible tenets

573
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 4: and no redistricting in New York and the VRA the

574
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 4: Voting Rights Actor have to be struck down section two

575
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 4: of it. So you're really asking for a very perfect

576
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 4: gamble for everything to go correct for them to keep

577
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: the House. It's possible, but it's not.

578
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 3: A great one word answer here because we're coming up

579
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 3: against it. Is it fair to say Republicans should be

580
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: favored to win the Senate and that maybe the flip

581
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: would be lose House win Senate if you were looking

582
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 3: at the board thirteen months out.

583
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 4: Yes, one way to answer.

584
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: Yes, All right, okay, Ryan, grank you so much the

585
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 2: National Populist newsletter. Go subscribe Ryan, We'll talk to you soon. Thanks, buddy,

586
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:54,800

Speaker 3: Pillsdale College's faculty and staff appreciate the enduring values of

588
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 3: our Constitution and the Declaration of Independence as much as anyone.

589
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: That's because they continue to make a study of the

590
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 3: words contained within them and apply them to our current

591
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 3: lives and news events of the day. They know there's

592
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: value to having your own copy, too, so you can

593
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 3: familiarize yourself with the words and meaning in such important document.

594
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 3: Early this fall, they set a goal to put a

595
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 3: million copies into the hands of Americans who don't have One.

596
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: Response has been tremendous. Their goal will be met. And

00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: a former sergeant and Medal of Honor recipient for his

607
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: incredible bravery during the twelve hour Battle of Camdesh in

608
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 2: the war in Afghanistan. Three hundred Taliban fighters launched an

609
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: attack on his base. This was shown in the movie

610
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 2: The Outpost, which I've actually seen. It's a good a

611
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 2: good film. Clint is a brand ambassador as well for

612
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: our sponsor, a Pure Talk. He also sits on the

Speaker 2: board of directors for America's Warrior Partnership, an organization dedicated

614
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: to preventing veteran suicide. He's joining us now to talk

615
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: about Pure Talks Initiative to forgive ten million dollars in

616
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 2: veteran debt. First of all, Clint, honored to talk to

617
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: you and thank you for your service and all that

618
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 2: you've done for the veteran community. Tell us about America's

619
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: Warrior Partnership and why you got involved.

620
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 5: Well, thanks for having me on the show today and

621
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 5: give me the opportunity to kind of talk about these

622
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 5: important things that are near and dear to Yeah, y'all

623
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 5: all of us Americans and what our veterans do day

624
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: in and day out. It's been a blessing to be

625
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 5: able to be a part of America's Warrior Partnership for

626
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 5: about the last six years. I've been on the board

627
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 5: there and their thought process of trying to end veteran

628
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 5: suicide not just through you know, identifying it it's just

629
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 5: and mental health, but looking at you know, every aspect

630
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 5: of it, and one of those big aspects is you know,

631
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 5: financial stability and having hope and understanding its relationships. It's transportations,

632
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 5: it's all these things that add into it. And with

633
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 5: what we've been doing with our Operation Deep Dive, really

634
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 5: studying the veterans' suicide crisis and understanding that we need

635
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 5: to start fishing for the or instead of fishing for

636
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 5: these veterans hoping they're coming to us, that we can

637
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 5: actually build these targeting packets and figure out kind of

638
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 5: who our high risk veterans are and go hunt them

639
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 5: down and be proactive instead of reactive.

640
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 3: I believe the number is twenty one or twenty two

641
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 3: American veterans a day who commit suicide, if I'm not mistaken.

642
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: I think that's the number that that is used to

643
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 3: raise funds and hopefully awareness as well.

644
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 2: How much is what Pure Talk's doing.

645
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 3: Also when you look at the debt crisis that is

646
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 3: hitting so many different people. I think there are thirty

647
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 3: eight thousand homeless veterans in the United States, is the

648
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: is the number I've seen most frequently. How much of

649
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 3: a stressor in your experience is people trying to come

650
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 3: back to the United States and being faced with an

651
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 3: overwhelming amount of debt.

652
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 5: You know, that's that's that's a huge burden on everybody

653
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 5: in this country. And you can look at, you know,

654
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 5: kind of the times we're in with the inflation rates

655
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 5: being what they are, your dollar's not going as far

656
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 5: what happened during kind of the COVID crisis with a

657
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 5: lot of veterans not having access to care with the

658
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 5: shutdowns and stuff, and a lot of them actually went

659
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 5: out and put you know, huge amounts of money on

660
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 5: credit cards to pay for doctor business and stuff when

661
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 5: they couldn't get into the VA and see their primary

662
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 5: care providers. And it's it's just been amazing to see

663
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,959
Speaker 5: a a company like Pure Talk step in and realize, look,

664
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 5: you know, we can't do everything, but if we're all

665
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 5: do it a little bit, we could make a huge

666
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 5: ps and kind of relieving that that financial burden with

667
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 5: the debt forgiveness for these veterans will will do so much.

668
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 5: I think we'll we'll end up targeting about sixty five

669
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 5: hundred veterans to help out, to forgive their debt, to

670
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 5: make sure their credit scores aren't you know, tarnished and trashed,

671
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 5: and to give them that hope to continue on for

672
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 5: the future.

673
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: And Clint, we know this is in partnership with with

674
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 2: Pure Talk, which is a sponsor here on the show

675
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 2: that's decided to step up. Pure Talk has a veteran president,

676
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: so I know that veteran issues really matter to them.

677
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: For the folks who are listening, which includes a lot

678
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: of veterans, I might add, and a lot of active

679
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 2: duty What can they do to help with this initiative

680
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 2: so that these veterans who may be behind and be

681
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 2: racking up debts that are really you know, affecting them psychologically,

682
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: hurting their their you know, their ability to sleep at night,

683
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 2: et cetera, what can the people listening do to help out.

684
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 5: You know, as part of part of the help, it's

685
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 5: it's coming on board with a great a great cell

686
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 5: phone company that's got great service throughout the country. Uh,

687
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 5: it works everywhere your cell phone right now works. And

688
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 5: by becoming a customer of them, part of your checkout

689
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 5: when you go to check out, you could round up

690
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 5: and that round really cool because it's based on kind

691
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 5: of this random act of kindness that these veterans won't

692
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 5: even know until that debt is forgiven and that credit

693
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 5: score is improved, and and they'll be able to just

694
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 5: wake up and show up that one day and realize

695
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 5: that burden has been removed and they can go on

696
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 5: and and and continue to do great things with with

697
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 5: their life, with their families, with this country.

698
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 3: Clint, there's a lot of awful stories out there right now.

699
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 3: You wrote a book A Red Platoon, a true story

700
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,760
Speaker 3: of American valor be bought there who might be looking

701
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: for positive, uplifting, heroic stories. What is the what story

702
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 3: are you telling in the book and what was your

703
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 3: experience as a as a soldier?

704
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 5: You know, the highlight of that book was having those

705
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 5: great men I served with that day. Like I said,

706
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 5: I get a lot of the spotlight put on me

707
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 5: for being a recipient of the Medal of Honor, But

708
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 5: if it wasn't for great guys like Bunderman and graz

709
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 5: and Larsen and the sacrifice of those eight men that

710
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 5: gave up everything that we could be here home today

711
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 5: with my family. Really highlights them as who they are

712
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 5: and you get to know them. And it was their

713
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 5: input from going around and traveling and capturing their stories

714
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 5: and having the input from the eight gold Star families

715
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 5: that anything written about their loved ones they get final,

716
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 5: final say on anything published in that book. And one

717
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 5: of the greatest just compliments I ever got from doing

718
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 5: that book was from the gold Star families talking about

719
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 5: having that closure and not just highlighting you know this

720
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 5: one just forrit day where a lot of bad things happen,

721
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,439
Speaker 5: but it highlights that that person.

722
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 4: Can you get to see.

723
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 5: You've got guys from every walk of life, from the

724
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 5: big cities for the rural communities, joining together and fighting

725
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 5: because you know, the enemy was trying to kill us

726
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 5: because they hated us. And we ended up winning that

727
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 5: today because we loved each other so much and that

728
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 5: love will triumph over over bitterness and anger and hatred

729
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 5: for our American way of life, our values, our standards

730
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 5: that we you know, just just excel at as Americans

731
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 5: and are just really the shining beacon for the rest

732
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 5: of the world of what goodness looks like.

733
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 2: Clint Romesha Medal of Honor recipient, honored to talk to you, sir.

Speaker 3: I feel like we have stacked together like eight teen

770
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 3: straight super serious shows. I don't know how many they

771
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: have been. With everything that's gone on since Israel started,

772
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 3: certainly with the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the uh who Speaker

773
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 3: of the House going to be? Let me update you

774
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 3: on the speaker mess before we get into something a

775
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 3: little bit more lighthearted to send you hopefully into your

776
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 3: Tuesday afternoon in good spirits. We told you that Tom

777
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 3: Emmer is the nominee right now to be the next

778
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 3: Speaker of the House. He's a Congressman from Minnesota. Donald

779
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 3: Trump has weighed in and brought a two by four

780
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 3: to Tom Emmer. I have many on I'm reading from

781
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 3: Trump on truth Social I have many wonderful friends wanting

782
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 3: to be Speaker of the House. Some are truly great warriors,

783
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 3: Rhino Tom Emmer, who I do not know well is

784
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 3: not one of them. He never respected the power of

785
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 3: a Trump endorsement or the breadth and scope of MAGA.

786
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 3: He fought me all the way and actually spent more

787
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 3: time defending ilhan Omar than he did me. He's totally

788
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 3: out of touch with Republican voters. He says he's now

789
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 3: learned a lesson because he's saying he's pro Trump. But

790
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 3: who can ever be sure? Has he only changed because

791
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 3: that's what it takes to win. The Republican Party cannot

792
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 3: take that chance, because that that's not where the America

793
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 3: First voters are voting for. A globalist rhino like Tom

794
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 3: Emmer would.

795
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 2: Be a tragic mistake. Globalist rhino that's like flying elbow

796
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 2: off the top belt Buckle.

797
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 3: I think that Tom Emmer's chances of being speaker are

798
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 3: quite low now, although buck I would just put this

799
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 3: out there because I brought it up a couple of

800
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 3: weeks ago. The longer this absence, this void of leadership, goes,

801
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 3: the more likely. Somehow some sort of partnership with Democrats becomes,

802
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 3: and so I can see a scenario brewing where somehow

803
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 3: some Democrats end up crossing the line to support a

804
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 3: Republican for Speaker of the House, or even worse, some

805
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,840
Speaker 3: Republicans end up supporting a Democrats.

806
00:43:56,880 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 2: Where that's where I think it goes. I could see

807
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: the first one, Clay, the second one, well, you know what,

808
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: I can't. Actually, I can't say no to you, because

809
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 2: I mean, look at what a look, what a mess,

810
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 2: what a just what clown situation we have unfolding as

811
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: we currently.

812
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 3: Nobody can get to two seventeen, which is why a

813
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 3: part of me thinks that we could see my kickball

814
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 3: redo where Republicans just pretend. Remember back in the day,

815
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 3: you're young enough, you may not remember this. Remember when

816
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 3: the Dallas spoiler alert, the television show Dallas, they killed

817
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 3: off Bobby Ewing and then.

818
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 2: They never watched this show. Do you know the story

819
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 2: of this at all? I do not, Oh my goodness,

820
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 2: but the generational gap thing play sometimes you know their snapper.

821
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 3: I remember watching this back in the day, the television

822
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 3: show Dallas, nineteen eighties. I bet ninety nine percent of

823
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 3: the people listening to us right now are familiar with this.

824
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: Bobby Ewing was killed JR.

825
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 3: Ewing, younger brother, and then they decided they didn't want

826
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 3: to actually kill him off. I think his name was

827
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 3: Patrick Duffy, And they actually released Buck like four different

828
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,359
Speaker 3: storylines that were going to be the way that they

829
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 3: would bring him back. One was like, oh, you know

830
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 3: when he went flatline in the hospital. Actually then they

831
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 3: started to you know, his heart started to be again.

832
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 3: You know what they went with Buck, You legitimately don't know.

833
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 2: This, no idea what you're talking about now.

834
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: They decided that it was all a dream, and so

835
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 3: they wrote off basically all of his death. He shows up,

836
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 3: he's in the shower, it's like nothing ever happened. I

837
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 3: think there could be a dream scenario here for the

838
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 3: Republicans where they just kind of say, you know what,

839
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 3: just we're gonna do the the men in Black Magic stick.

840
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 3: I bet you remember that one. We're just gonna pretend

841
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: none of this ever happened. Kevin McCarthy comes back. I

842
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 3: kind of feel like that's where this is gonna end up.

843
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 3: It's just so ridiculous at this point. I feel like

844
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 3: that's what they're going to try to play on everybody.

845
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 2: We'll we'll see and so, you know, I appreciate also

846
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: all the the dog training tips that I have been getting,

847
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 2: as you know, Ginger is now a part of our family.

848
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 2: She is a tiny and and maximum level cuteness and

849
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 2: adore adorable level Australian Labradoodle. And I get all these

850
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 2: and I've read this. I read this book about some

851
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: monks in New York, the Monks of New Skeet, who

852
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 2: train their German shepherds, and they're very you know that

853
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: the super well trained German shepherds, but supposed to be

854
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 2: for you know, general dog purposes as well. I've read

855
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 2: all these dog training books and I must confess, Clay.

856
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 2: I mean, I know you don't have a dog or cat, guy,

857
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: but they what I hate. I hate the cat. I'm

858
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: just stating facts.

859
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 3: I'm just we have two cats in the house. I

860
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 3: was adamantly opposed to them. I am not a fan

861
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 3: of either, and I'm probably I can tell you guys.

862
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 2: Every time I go to Clay's house, he's got one

863
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 2: of these cats in his lap, like the bad guy

864
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: from Inspector Gadget or something, because he's watching.

865
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 3: The cats are awful. They won't even sit in your

866
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 3: lap and let you rub them. They're like these Bengal

867
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 3: tiger cats. I mean, they just tear everything up and

868
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 3: destroy everything I do see them like they randomly pop out.

869
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: I mean, they must be helpful for your Halloween party

870
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 3: because they randomly pop out of nowhere and then and you're.

871
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 2: Like, whoah, they're awful. Where did that come from? But

872
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: so we have the dog, and the dog is is

873
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 2: so cute that you know, ever in the neighborhood they

874
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,360
Speaker 2: see the dog, they come over because she's so tiny.

875
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 2: Right now, she's in her ninth week of life. And Clay.

876
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 2: One of the things they tell you, and and everyone's

877
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 2: been telling me this, oh, cret training and all these

878
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 2: different tips, and learn to have her hit the bell

879
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: when she wants to go outside. Put a bell on

880
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 2: your door. There's all these different tips. But the one

881
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 2: thing they all say is in your first couple of nights,

882
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: when the dog is like yelping, basically, keep it in

883
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 2: the crate. Don't don't give in. Don't give in, because

884
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 2: if you put it on the foot of the bed

885
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 2: and now it gets to sleep with the adults, you

886
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 2: know where you sleep with the humans, I mean, and

887
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 2: at the foot of the bed, it's gonna always want

888
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 2: to do that. I mean they say the same thing,

889
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: by the way about babies. So this is yes, we lasted.

890
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 2: We lasted one night, and now the dog is sleeping

891
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: like right on the bed. I don't, I don't, I know.

892
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: This is like not supposed to happen. We're great with

893
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 2: the potty training so far, We've got on a great schedule.

894
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 2: But I'm sorry when this adorable little thing is sitting

895
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 2: there and she'll start kind of like yelping a little bit,

896
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 2: and then if we ignore, it gets louder and louder

897
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 2: and louder, and it's like the middle of the night,

898
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 2: and she doesn't want to be locked in this little case.

899
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 2: And all the dog training people right now are by

900
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 2: the way, they're just they are very huffy with me

901
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 2: in this moment in time, because you're not supposed to

902
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 2: do this. But I sit here, I'm like, the dog

903
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 2: is so cute and she wants to be on the bed.

904
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 3: You're gonna read so many books when you eventually have kids,

905
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 3: and you're gonna do things that the books don't say.

906
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 3: And the thing about that, this is what I'll tell you.

907
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 3: I don't know dogs, right, I don't know cats either.

908
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 3: I do have some modicum of knowledge about kids. Everybody

909
00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 3: gives you all this advice and then all kids are

910
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 3: so much different. Like this is what we were told with

911
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 3: our first like, let him cry it out, let him

912
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 3: cry it out. Well, he would cry until he would

913
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,360
Speaker 3: throw up like our oldest when he was like you know,

914
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,919
Speaker 3: six months old, I don't know, like ten months old

915
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 3: whatever it is, And then you got to go clean

916
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 3: up the puke and try and change out the entire

917
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 3: mattress and beds the middle then I, by the way,

918
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 3: and so finally I was just like I just bring

919
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 3: him into bed like and then he would sleep great.

920
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 2: And so so yeah, this is what I'm saying. I mean,

921
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 2: he's gonna wake up the neighbors. This little tiny dog,

922
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, is able to screech at this level.

923
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 2: This thing weighs like three pounds. It's able to screech

924
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 2: at this level. That is, and it's so adorable and

925
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: it knows it's so adorable. And I'm supposed to keep

926
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 2: it locked in this case, like you know, the dog

927
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: isn't serving like you know, five to ten for grand

928
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 2: theft auto or something like. I don't want to keep

929
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 2: it in a jail cell. I'm just saying. I know

930
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: people love the crate and everything else, but I just

931
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: I'm a softie, man. I can't. I can't do it.

932
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 2: The dog and we all got a great night's sleep

933
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 2: last night. Oh dog, we had the youngest.

934
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 3: When we had the youngest, he would sleep between me

935
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 3: and my wife, like, starting at the age of about

936
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 3: eighteen months, and he would sleep for ten straight hours

937
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 3: and he was super cute and I don't regret any

938
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 3: of it. And now he's grown up and he's sixteen

939
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 3: and he won't even give us a hug.

940
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 2: So like kids, there's no great training for kids, right,

941
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 2: so it's obviously a difference.

942
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,879
Speaker 3: No, but but they there's all sorts of complicated eye

943
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 3: and I guess there's a grid in the cridge, right yeah, yes, yeah,

944
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 3: so you're going to get into those eventually. And by

945
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 3: the way, way more difficult. This is like, uh, I

946
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 3: don't even know what the quilo. This is like you're

947
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 3: in single a ball right now, Bud. Yeah, I don't

948
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 3: know how you did it. Man, three kids, all your

949
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 3: parents out there, you all are amazing.

950
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:44,800
Speaker 2: Laura was great,
