1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Welcome in the final hour of the week, Clay Travis

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: here Buck Sexton will be back on Tuesday, taking a

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: couple of days to chill with the family. The Friday

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: and the Monday March madness underway.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: I hope all of you are going to have an

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 2: awesome weekend.

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: I said that I would get to objectively great news

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: and that is the plan. But let me fill you

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: in on a couple of things out there in the

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: event that you are just starting off your day hanging

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: out with US Iran. The situation continues to be basically

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: what is the strategy to conclude it? Are we going

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: to decide to be more aggressive and potentially go take

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: carg Island. Are we going to get more support from

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: NATO and clean up in the Strait of Hormuz and

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: allow oil and gas to be able to find its

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: way through that straight The price of oil as I

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: am talking to all of you, crude to oil futures

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: right at ninety five dollars and eighty six cents, basically

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: unchanged on the day and to a large extent, not

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: changed very much so far during the course of the

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. The crude oil futures went up

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: to one hundred and twenty dollars. That's the one that

24
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: most impactful for the United States several weeks ago, then

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: fell back down substantially, and now it is right around

26
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: ninety five ninety six dollars and has not moved a

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: great deal in terms of its final destination in the

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: last several days, really the last couple of weeks. But

29
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you some great news that is

30
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: going to get almost no attention whatsoever. And I wanted

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: to use as my jumping off point three different places

32
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: where things are going spectacularly well and you are hearing

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: very little about it.

34
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: First of all, credit Wall Street Journal.

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: They had a graphic this week in their newspaper that

36
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: I shared, and it showed beyond a question or doubt

37
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: that the murder rate in this country hit a one

38
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five year low in year one of

39
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: President Trump's administration. That is, last year, we had a

40
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five year low going all the

41
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: way back to nineteen hundred, we had the lowest murder

42
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: rate that we.

43
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 2: Have ever had in this country.

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: Now, if you're a history guy or gal, but if

45
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: you're a history guy like me, the data that we

46
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: have pre nineteen hundred in this country on murders is

47
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: not very reliable. But if you have studied rates of violence,

48
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: for instance, if you know what used to happened in

49
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: the so called wild West, it's pretty common for there

50
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: to be shootouts. If you study history, you know that

51
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: it was pretty common for there to be duels. I

52
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: actually think we do not have the data to reflect it,

53
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: but I actually think it is very likely that twenty

54
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: twenty five was the safest year in the history of

55
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: the United States since we became a nation. That is,

56
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: I believe we had the lowest murder rate since we

57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: became a nation in twenty twenty five. What we know

58
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: is that we had the lowest murder rate since nineteen hundred,

59
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: and that to me feels like a pretty stellar, extraordinary detail,

60
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: and yet we get almost no discussion about it at all.

61
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: So that is point one.

62
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: I give credit to the Wall Street Journal for carrying

63
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: carrying that story. Wanted to give you super positive stories. Okay,

64
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: as I am speaking to you right now, do you

65
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: remember when President Trump surged support for law enforcement in Washington, DC,

66
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: and everyone out there on the left said one of

67
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: two things.

68
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: Either Washington DC is.

69
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: Really safe, and I don't know why the president feels

70
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: like he needs to do anything right. That was one

71
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: of the talking points that went out, and that was

72
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: a lie. The data actually reflected that wasn't remotely true.

73
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 1: The other talking point that went out was well, yeah, sure,

74
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: DC isn't that safe. But President Trump bringing in more support,

75
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: national Guard, bringing in Judge Janine Piro to be the

76
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: overall prosecutor. That's not going to have any real impact

77
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: at all. You notice that nobody's talking about Washington d

78
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: C at all.

79
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: I went and.

80
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: Actually looked up the numbers and I have them open

81
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: in front of me right now. You can go look

82
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: at this. It's on the Washington DC website right now.

83
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Murders so far in twenty twenty six are down sixty

84
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: five percent in our nation's capital compared to where they

85
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: were last year. So let me repeat this. Last year

86
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: was the lowest murder rate in the nation. Overall murders

87
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: collapsed in Washington DC.

88
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: This year. Through what is today.

89
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: March nineteenth, of twenty twenty six, murders are down sixty

90
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: five percent. Last year, at this time, there had been

91
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: thirty one murders in Washington DC. So far right now,

92
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: there have been eleven murders in Washington DC. We are

93
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: coming up on the end of March. If you extrapolate

94
00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: these numbers, and I hope that this trend continues. Washington

95
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: DC is on pace to crush the lowest murder rate

96
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: in the history of our nation's capital in the two

97
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our nation. So everyone out there,

98
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: One of the ways that you know things work is

99
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: when the story doesn't get told anymore. Remember when Trump

100
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: first came into office and egg prices went up, and

101
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: everybody out there so.

102
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: You hadn't seen it forever.

103
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: Suddenly there was articles about how expensive eggs were, and

104
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: they said, well, this is a response to a Biden

105
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: policy where they killed a lot of different animals, and

106
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: so we had we don't have the same number of

107
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,679
Speaker 1: eggs we would in the past. And then the price

108
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: and true, the price of eggs over the next three

109
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: or four months collapsed and I don't remember the last

110
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: time I heard anybody talk about the.

111
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: Price of eggs. So something is a story, and then

112
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 2: when it gets better.

113
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: It's not a story anymore. We have a huge bad

114
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: news bias in this country. Venezuela was a huge story.

115
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: You ever look around and say, wait, but I haven't

116
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: heard anything about Venezuela in a long time. We just

117
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: reopened our embassy. They're going to produce more oil and

118
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: gas than they ever have before. Our relationship with Delsea

119
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Rodriguez and the government there has gotten infinitely better. And

120
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: now nobody talks at all about Venezuela. Bad news bias

121
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: means when good things happen, people just stop talking about them.

122
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: This is why I said I want to do the

123
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: third hour. I actually want to tell you some good

124
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: news stories. Some people say, I I feel so negative. Well,

125
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five year murder low. That seems good,

126
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: maybe the lowest murderer rate in the history of this nation,

127
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: and on pace for our nation's capital, murders are down

128
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: sixty five percent since Trump surged support in the nation's capital.

129
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: By the way, it's not just murders.

130
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: Murders we like to talk about Buck and ee do

131
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: on the program because it's kind of hard to hide

132
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: typically a dead body, so you can finagele no numbers

133
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: and made them look better or worse if, for instance,

134
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: you just don't report that something that a robbery happened,

135
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: or people are so frustrated things get stolen so often

136
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: they don't even bother going to the police. Sometimes crime

137
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: is not accurately reflected in the data, and some of

138
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: you have certainly experienced that murders is typically one.

139
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: Where it's hard to hide.

140
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: Okay, So sixty five percent decline this year in murders

141
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: Washington d C, in the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary

142
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: of our nation, is on pace for the lowest murder

143
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: rate that's ever existed on record.

144
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: Okay.

145
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: Sex abuse down sixty four percent in Washington DC. Robbery

146
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: down twenty nine percent in Washington DC. Burglary down twenty

147
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: seven percent in Washington DC. How about this motor vehicle theft?

148
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Remember all the carjacktings that were happening in Washington DC

149
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: down fifty five percent over last year.

150
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: Here actual theft from auto?

151
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that. Like robbing, robbing somebody from a car.

152
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that's down thirty six percent. Property crime overall down

153
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight percent, are send down one hundred percent. Everything

154
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: in DC is getting infinitely better. How many reporters have

155
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: you heard talk about the data that I am reading

156
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: directly off the DC government website that monitors all crime.

157
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: This is not incredibly difficult to investigative, investigatory reporting work

158
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: that I'm doing here. I'm just sharing with you the data.

159
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: It's not only Washington, d C. It's not only our nation.

160
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: In my home state of Tennessee, Memphis, where also the

161
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: overall amount of support for police surged as well, is

162
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: reporting a twenty five year low, a twenty five year

163
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: low overall in the crime rate in Memphis, Tennessee. Guys,

164
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: I want to tell you something. We are potentially dealing

165
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: with and facing one of the greatest attacks on violent

166
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: crime nationwide that has ever occurred in the history of

167
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: this country. And we are staring here as we roll

168
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: into the end of March, at a situation where we

169
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: may be replacing the lowest murder rate on history in

170
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five with an even lower murder rate in

171
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and almost nobody's talking about it. Doesn't

172
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: that seem like something that should be screamed from the heavens.

173
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: Shouldn't everyone out there who claimed black lives matter be saying,

174
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: my goodness, Donald Trump has saved more black lives by

175
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: cracking down on violence than any president in the history

176
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: of this nation. You said, what do you mean by that,

177
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: clay that people who are killed in this nation are

178
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: overwhelmingly black and Hispanic. The percentages reflect that white people

179
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: and Asian people are far less likely to be victims

180
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: of violent crime. So if you look at Washington, d C.

181
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: Were almost everybody, for instance, who dies of a violent

182
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: crime in Washington, d C.

183
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: Almost everybody in Washington, d C. Is black.

184
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: Just this year, compared to last year, Trump and his

185
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: policies and everybody working hard would have probably saved twenty

186
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: lives compared to last year. And by the end of

187
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: this year, there are going to be hundreds of mostly

188
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: young men that likely would have been dead but for

189
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: President Trump's policies walking the streets. That seems like a

190
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: hell of a story deserving of celebration. Heck, it even

191
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: sounds like we may be making America greater than it's

192
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: ever been before. We're not just making it great again,

193
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: We're making it greater than it's ever been before. It's

194
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: safer from a murder perspective in this country today than

195
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: maybe at any point in the last two hundred and

196
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: fifty years, and certainly at any point in the last

197
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty five years. Holy heck, that's a

198
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: hell of a story. Why is nobody else telling it?

199
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: Ah?

200
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: Because President Trump would have to get credit. Then it's

201
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: not just the stories that are told, it's the stories

202
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: that are not told, and a lot of them are

203
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: very good and ignored. When we come back, I'll take

204
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: some of your calls. It is, after all, a Friday

205
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: edition of the program. We've got some fun for you

206
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: as we roll through this program as well. California can't

207
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: even build bridges on the flip side. When it comes

208
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: to in confidence, we will talk about that and more.

209
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: This is, of course the Clay and Buck Show. And

210
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: I want to tell you if you're trying to protect yourself,

211
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: and maybe you still feel like you need to protect

212
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: yourself even though the nation is getting safer, and maybe

213
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: you want to protect yourself with non lethal products because

214
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: the Saber home defense launcher. You got kids and grandkids

215
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: in the house. Maybe you got people kids that are

216
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: snooping around and you don't want them to find guns.

217
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: Maybe you want to leave your guns locked up, but

218
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: you want to have access to something that is non

219
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: lethal that is also still very safe.

220
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: Maybe you got kids and grandkids going.

221
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: Out all hours and you want them to have pepper spray.

222
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: Maybe you got a granddaughter who is just going off

223
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: to college and you want to make sure that she's protected.

224
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 2: This is what sabers all about.

225
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: They have Saber pepper sprays, pepperjels, stun guns to give

226
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: you compact, reliable protection wherever life will take you. When

Speaker 1: right now.

241
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: And as I was in the middle of sharing all

242
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: that with you.

243
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: I could hear my kids screaming downstairs, not because something

244
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: bad was happening. They are watching college basketball. March Madness

245
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: is underway, and I think we're gonna have this audio

246
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: for you, absolute bonkers insanity. Santa Clara from out in

247
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: California and Kentucky have been starting off the day and

248
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: they are now in overtime and they just had an

249
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: unbelievable final ten seconds with three different three different scores.

250
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: So anyway, craziness going on right now and in the meantime.

251
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: This is a fun clip.

252
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: The View Girls, that is The View Morons just had

253
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: a guest co host Sarah Eisen, and she said thought

254
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: it was important to just school the girls on why

255
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: we are doing what we're doing in Iran. This is

256
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: cut thirty four.

257
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: Listen, we all agree at the table at least that

258
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: Iran wants to destroy America, right they chant death to America.

259
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: That's been a cornerstone of their foreign policy forever. Are

260
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 3: they're the only ones?

261
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: I mean, North Korea they're pretty bad.

262
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: No, but they're the they're pretty the epicenter of Okay.

263
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: That's been an indoctrination of the round number two.

264
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: Americans do opposed this war, But go ahead, okay.

265
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 3: Number two, let's let's all try to agree on these points.

266
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 3: Number two, they have been for decades trying to make

267
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: a nuclear weapon, a weapons, great nuclear facility, whether it

268
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 3: was imminent, whether it's tomorrow, we can all agree they've

269
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 3: been trying to do us. We can also agree that

270
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 3: it was obliterated apparently last year, clearly not. The other

271
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: thing we can all agree on, I think is they

272
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: have long range missiles and that they fund terrorists that

273
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: have killed Americans. Now, all of that is why we

274
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 3: are in this war. It is a strategic opportunity so

275
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: that our children do not have to face the greatest

276
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: state sponsor of terror being a nuclear power.

277
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: Pretty well said. And the view I mean pointing out.

278
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: That there's actually a massive amount of agreement prior to

279
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: Trump deciding to do this. And we'll talk about that

280
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: in the context of John Fetterman here coming back in

281
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: a second.

282
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: But this is what you just missed.

283
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: It sounds like the Kentucky Wildcats are going to survive

284
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: based on the way that this went down. This just happened.

285
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: It is March madness. My kids were screaming down stairs.

286
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: Listen to this please to pay.

287
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 5: It is just.

288
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: Here banking in a running three. Kentucky had to have

289
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: it to stay alive and avoid a first round upset.

290
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: It looks like they are going to win in overtime.

291
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: But as I was doing the show that just happened,

292
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: I could hear my kids screaming downstairs reacting to it.

293
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 1: And we're gonna take a lot of your talkbacks. I'm

294
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna share some news on John Fetterman here in a moment,

295
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: But first I want to tell you Born on America's

298
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Robert Welsh, New York City firefighter. Robert served as a

299
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: police officer before his appointment to the fire department in

00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, just weeks after the nine to

301
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: eleven attacks. He was on the front line of nine

302
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: to eleven recovery efforts, and he dedicated nearly two decades

303
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: of his life to protecting his community. Coach youth sports,

304
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: shared a great life with his wife, Jennifer, and their

305
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: three kids, But Robert lost his courageous battle with nine

306
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: to eleven related cancer, leaving behind his family. In this

Speaker 1: have a lot of listeners in the state of Kentucky.

317
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: Santa Clara the vic them of a last second buzzer

318
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: beater that put the game into overtime. We're playing along

319
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: with that Santa Clara for the pop quiz out there.

320
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: Last I believe in the NCAA tournament when they had

321
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: a point guard by the name of Steve Nash went

322
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: on to have a pretty good NBA career, but that

323
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: was a long time ago, I think all the way

324
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: back to nineteen ninety four, so they waited a long

325
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 1: time to lose in super devastating fashion, but one that

326
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: will be considered quite memorable going forward.

327
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: I wanted to mention this.

328
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: We have John Fetterman, who has effectively become a senator

329
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: in many ways representing Republicans in Pennsylvania, and Buck and

330
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: I talked about this on the program. By the way, Buck,

331
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: we'll be back on Tuesday. Taking a couple of days

332
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: to be with his family for a long weekend, we

333
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: talked about this. This is one of those things that

334
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: I think I was most wrong about. I thought that

335
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: John Fetterman would be incapable of being a Senator and

336
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: representing the people of Pennsylvania very well. I actually think

337
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: he's done great job. He's the sanest of all the

338
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: Democrats out there. But as a result, Democrats are angry

339
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: at him, and this is what the polling now reflects.

340
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: Harry Inton, I believe this is is this CNN or

341
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 1: MSNBC or whatever. I can't remember where this guy is,

342
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: but listen to him analyze what the Poles say about

343
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: John Fetterman.

344
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 6: I would just say that John Fetterman is doing as

345
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 6: well with Pennsylvania Democrats as the New York Giants are

346
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 6: as liked in the state of Pennsylvania or the Commonwealth

347
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 6: of Pensylvania. I mean, just look at this among Pennsylvania

348
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 6: Democrats and that approval of Fetterman. Back in twenty twenty three,

349
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 6: he was a Democrat liperal Darling.

350
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 2: He was at plus sixty eight points.

351
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 6: Look at how low he has fallen down the negative

352
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 6: forty points.

353
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 7: He's down there.

354
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 6: With the Titanic among Democrats in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

355
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: This is one hundred and eight point swing.

356
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 6: This is inn one hundred and eight point swing.

357
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 2: Very good mathematics here. I was honestly thinking he's not

358
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 2: even possible.

359
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: Okay, so Harry Inton, they're saying it's been a huge swing,

360
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: with the likes of which we've never seen before. I

361
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: would just say Fetterman either needs to become a Republican,

362
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: which again, he would be a left of I mean, look,

363
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: he would be a Susan Collins like member of the

364
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: Republican Caucus, but he would still be a member of

365
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: the Republican Caucus. I don't know if he would be

366
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: capable of winning a primary right now to represent Democrats.

367
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: Something to think about. Fetterman is up team correct me

368
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, but I believe he'll be up in

369
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight. So that cycle will start itself very soon.

370
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,959
Speaker 1: Because he won in twenty two, if I'm remembering correctly,

371
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: so he will be up in twenty eight and he's

372
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: going to have a great deal of difficulty winning as

373
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: a winning as a Democrat.

374
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 2: So just something to kind of put a star by.

375
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: Is it possible that Fetterman either goes independent or potentially

376
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: start to caucus with Republicans if he's going to plan

377
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: on running for re election. I think it could be.

378
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, that's Harry Inton. That was CNN

379
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: the audio that we were playing. Let's take some of

380
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: your calls. It is Friday, after all, Linda in Green Valley, Arizona.

381
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: What you got for us?

382
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 7: Well play. I think I have a solution to the

383
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 7: TSA problem. What we need to do is we need

384
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 7: to supplement where we're missing out on TSA agents who

385
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 7: can't afford to work for us anymore. We need to

386
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 7: bring in ICE agents and fill in. And I think

387
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 7: that that would push the Democrats to sign that the

388
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 7: Homeland Security bill. I think it would set their hair

389
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 7: on fire. But I mean, you know, we're already paying

390
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 7: for are They're already funded, so they're part of Homeland

391
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 7: security as long as along with TSA. And I think

392
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 7: we just need to bring in the ICE agents and

393
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 7: fill in, and I also agree that the senators and

394
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 7: congressmen need to wait in line.

395
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: Thank you for the call, Linda.

396
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: That's I'm gonna say, it's kind of a brilliant idea. Now,

397
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure the TSA agents out there listening to us

398
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: would say, well, there's training that ICE agents would have

399
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: to go through to be able to function as TSA agents. Right,

400
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: you have to be trained in order to sit there

401
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: and analyze a analyze the bags, going through all the

402
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: X ray and everything else associated with it. So there

403
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: is some element of training. But are there jobs that

404
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: the TSA does that could easily be given to ICE agents.

405
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: It's actually a really great question.

406
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: Now, the other part of this would be I'm sure

407
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: people would say, well, the ICE agents are necessary in

408
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: order to be able to arrest the people who shouldn't

409
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: be in this country, particularly those who committed violent crimes,

410
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: and we don't want to pull them out of that

411
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: job to put them on a comparatively less serious job.

412
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: But what Linda is erect about is the ICE agents

413
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: are being fully paid, and so if we started to

414
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: supplement when the TSA agents were not there with ICE agents.

415
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Democrats would go absolutely insane. That's not

416
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: a bad not a bad thesis. There, Wes out in California.

417
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 8: What's up, Wes, Guys, I am absolutely livid with the

418
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 8: American people about the attack in Iran. We need to

419
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 8: go in. We need to take your business and and

420
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 8: get the job done. We could be sitting up military

421
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 8: basis in there. We should be paid back to oil

422
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 8: and we can finally free those Iranian people that have

423
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 8: been oppressed for so long.

424
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: So you want, Wes, what people would sorry to cut

425
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: you off, but so you want boots on the ground.

426
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: How many boots on the ground.

427
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 8: Yes, sir, well how many? It doesn't all have to

428
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 8: be Americans. We can if we can.

429
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: Get a I get that, But we're having trouble with NATO.

430
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: We're having trouble with NATO helping us.

431
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 2: Now.

432
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: A lot of people out there would say I'm okay

433
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: in this audience, I'm okay with military raining down missiles

434
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: with drones, but because of what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan,

435
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: I draw the line, meaning a lot of people in

436
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: this audience, I think it's fair to say, would draw

437
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: the line and say they'd prefer not to have boots

438
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: on the ground. So I'm asking you how many boots

439
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: on the ground, because I do think there's a distinction.

440
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: If we seize Krj Island, for instance, and let's say

441
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: that takes twenty five hundred highly trained marines to do.

442
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: That's one thing, and it's a short duration designed to

443
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: bring about peace. But are you saying you want tens

444
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: of thousands of troops on the ground. What to you

445
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: does boots on the ground mean?

446
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 8: I don't think it would take to many. You have

447
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 8: the majority of it appears of the Iranian people that

448
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 8: want to help, you know, they just really need to

449
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 8: go in as advisors and just get the job done.

450
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 2: Look, thank you for the call.

451
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: The challenge I think people have with that is we

452
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: were all told this would be an easy maneuver in Iraq.

453
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: Remember everybody tried to sell the neocons did Oh, there's

454
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: a huge support. A lot of people wanted democrat Iraq.

455
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: All we have to do is just have the backbone

456
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: of support. And then it was a disaster and it

457
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: cost us trillions of dollars, and thousands of men and

458
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: women were injured and or killed. And so as a result,

459
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: it was an awful choice, and I think that's the reticence.

460
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: Now.

461
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: My point would be, I think Trump has learned the

462
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: lessons of Iraq and knows better than to end up

463
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: in an intractable, never ending occupation.

464
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to do that to me.

465
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: If you want to try to accelerate the situation, you

466
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: would seize Carved Island, where the oil and gas of

467
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: Iran eminate, fifteen miles off the coast of Iran and say, hey,

468
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: we now control your oil supply. You're either going to

469
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: listen to us, or we're going to control the ingress

470
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: and egress of your oil and gas. To me, that's

471
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: an aggressive play that actually has some logical sense, But

472
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: it's not an occupation of the country proper. It's an

473
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: island off the coast of Iran. That's where I think

474
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: we might be going next. Ashley in South Carolina fire.

475
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 4: Away, I call our long time listener, since I've listened

476
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 4: to Rush as a kid in my.

477
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:34,959
Speaker 2: Dad's car, well, thank you.

478
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 4: I want to start off by saying that I think

479
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 4: you with the goatee is much more attractive than the mustache.

480
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 4: But I also have a question going back to the

481
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 4: shut down. What genius decided to punish the people who

482
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 4: are hard workers versus Congress who just can't seem to

483
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 4: do their jobs. I mean, I agree with you that

484
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 4: they should be the ones losing their paychecks versus you know,

485
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 4: the people who are actually work and heart every day.

486
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: Thank you for the call, Ashley, and thank you for

487
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: listening and for listening for a long time. Look, this

488
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: is Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferys TSA decision taking you

489
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: back in time. There was an agreement on funding the government.

490
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: It was all set in place, there was no controversy

491
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: associated with it.

492
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 2: It was ready to roll. And then.

493
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: Pretty and Good in Minneapolis died and as a result, governments,

494
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: the Democrats decided we're not going to fund TSA. Remember

495
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: ICE is already funded. They said we're not going to

496
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: fund TSA and other parts of the government. And then

497
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: the TSA agents are essential workers, so they are forced

498
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: to work without being paid. Now eventually they're going to

499
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: be paid. This is worse than the past shutdowns to

500
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: me because in the past shutdowns, you didn't have to

501
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: show up, and lots of people just said okay, I'll

502
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: see you, and they didn't show up for a month,

503
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: and some of them went on vacation and they knew

504
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: that eventually they were going to get paid, and they

505
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: basically just got a paid month or months long vacation

506
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: from their jobs. That's not somebody who's actually losing out.

507
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: The TSA agents have to show up their essential workers

508
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: and they're not being paid. And what Ashley is just

509
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: pointing out is, I think one hundred percent right to

510
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: me everyone. Unfortunately this would include Republican and congressman and

511
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: senators on the Republican side too, But I think we

512
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: have to set the precedent that when the government is

513
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: shut down, no one gets paid in Congress, and I

514
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: think what you would see happen very very quickly is

515
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats would find a way to keep the

516
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: government open no matter who is in charge, and the

517
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: people who are busting their ass and not getting paid

518
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: very much money. Again, the average tsaagent makes forty thousand

519
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: dollars a year. If you have ever been, and certainly

520
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: I've been, in that situation where you make forty thousand

521
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: dollars a year and you've got kids, and you've got

522
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: a car payment, and you may have rent or a

523
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 1: house payment. Uh, and you've got all the cost of

524
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: groceries and everything else and you're not getting your paycheck.

525
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: It's hard to live. And so that is where we are.

526
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, now in addition to the TSA agents, everybody

527
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: out there, everybody out there is now having to stand

528
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: in line for hours because TSA agents. Many of them

529
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: are quitting. Over three hundred is the number that I've

530
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: seen and deciding to go find other jobs, or they're

531
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: not showing up for work because they have to go

532
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: do other things that will allow them to pay their bills.

533
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: Joe and Arizona quickly here as we get ready for break,

534
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: speaking my.

535
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 5: Call, and I just wanted to point something out. I

536
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 5: spent my time to list it in the Coast Guard,

537
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 5: and I'm telling you, if we didn't get paid, we

538
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 5: weren't going to go home, we weren't going to find

539
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 5: another job. We signed a contract. We were there paid

540
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 5: or not, and we didn't all eat on a base.

541
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 5: Coast Guard is primarily not affiliated with a base anywhere.

542
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 5: I just wanted so let the audience.

543
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: Know that, Yeah, thank you for the call. I mean,

544
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: I don't think TSA agents have contracts. I could be wrong,

545
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: on this, But I don't think they signed contracts. I

546
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: think if you're making most people who make forty thousand

547
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: dollars a year don't have contracts. And I would just

548
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: ask people out there, if you didn't get paid for

549
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: a month, how many of you would keep going to

550
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: your job. I think a lot of people would say,

551
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: I gotta find something new to do. And by the way,

552
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: this is not the first time this has happened to

553
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: TSA agents. What is this the third time or something

554
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: like that in the last couple of years where they

555
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: haven't gotten paid and been required to work. I'm gonna

556
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I would be fed up. I

557
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: would be frustrated my credit card bill when I'm taking

558
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: on more interest to be able to pay things, if

559
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: I even have the limit to be able to do that.

560
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: It's just this is a failure of epic proportions and

561
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: epic magnitude. Democrats are to blame, but we need to

562
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,719
Speaker 1: fix it once and for all. And I think one

563
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: way to fix it would be to say Democrats and

564
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: Republicans don't get paid and their staffs don't get paid

565
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: when any part of the government shuts down. This is

566
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: a ridiculous ploy that has become far too common, and

567
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: I think we need to work to find a solution

568
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: that ends it once and for all. Look, the International

569
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews does incredible work.

570
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: I saw it for myself.

571
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,640

Speaker 1: centers with critical need critically needed essentials. If you've ever

574
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: wondered what it looks like to stand for Israel and

575
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: stand for good against evil, this is it right now.

576
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: The Iranian government is evil, the Israeli government is fighting

577
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: for forces of good and right now, you can give

578
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,280

593
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 2: A lot of you out there.

594
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: Let's see as we line up some of these talkbacks

595
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: and some of these emails. Rosemary sends in an email,

596
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: Hey guys, great show. I don't like talk shows, but

597
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: I enjoy yours. We're doctors in North Carolina that own

598
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: a pediatric clinic. Government shutdown should end if President Trump

599
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: gives executive order to place all of Congress and their

600
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: staff on a no fly list until they vote to

601
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: fund the government. If you say it, he might do it.

602
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. That would be amazing. Now

603
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: there'd be a lot of people have to hop in

604
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,399
Speaker 1: cars and drive. And I think Rosemary's point is likely

605
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 1: well taken that as soon as Congress starts to feel

606
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: the pain that the average American feels when it comes

607
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: to travel related issues, they will very likely get things fixed.

608
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 1: And I don't think that's I don't think that's wrong

609
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: at all. Travis in Durham North Carolina, one of six

Speaker 1: How in the world did you control yourself with the

622
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: shot Kentucky hit to tie the game? Serious self control?

623
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: My family was going crazy. Enjoy March Madness, Jeffer. I

624
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,439
Speaker 1: didn't have the television on in here.

625
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: I was saying.

626
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: I was talking about how awesome it is that we

627
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: have such a low murder rate, and suddenly down at stairs,

628
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: I heard my three boys screaming reacting to the shot

629
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: that was made. So I knew something had happened, but

630
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know until we went to break to see.

631
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: What exactly happened.

632
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: So I think it would have been harder to do

633
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: live radio, certainly if I've been able to watch some

634
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: of the some of these buzzer beaters happening. Let's get

635
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 1: quickly here podcast listener Monty cut f Clay.

636
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 9: I like the idea of supplementing the ts with ice agents,

637
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 9: and while they're at the airport doing the job of TSA,

638
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 9: they can also be ice agents, and if they find

639
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 9: any illegal aliens flying, they can put them on alternate

640
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 9: flights and send them home.

641
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: I think that was to a large extent, Linda's intent,

642
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: and I do think Democrats would lose their minds and

643
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 1: might well decide that they need to get things solved

644
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: in a hurry if that were the case. Okay, hope

645
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,560
