1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 2: Welcome in Tuesday edition Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 3: We are rolling with you. 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: Lots of fun and a ton of different topics to 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: dive into. Gavin newsom our friend. We're going to start 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: off with this another big sit down interview. It's amazing 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 2: how many of those he has time to do. Talking 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: about Kamala Harris NBC on COVID, Our good friend Mark 10 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: Cuban with an intriguing position on COVID that Buck texted 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: me about this morning. 12 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 3: We will discuss that. 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: Donald Trump, by the way, news wise, has announced that 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 2: he is going to skip the second Republican debate, which 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 2: is taking place September twenty seventh at the Reagan Library. 16 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: What do we think about that? Probably not a huge 17 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 2: surprise that he is making that choice. DeSantis and Trump 18 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: an interesting little interchange as they have gone back and forth. 19 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: This came out of the Meet the Press that Trump 20 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: did with Kristen Welker, the new host there, where he 21 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 2: ripped Ron DeSantis and the six Week abortion band, the 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 2: limitations that now exist in the state of Florida. That 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 2: is a bit intriguing, if only because Trump is actually 24 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: to the left of DeSantis on that issue and several others. 25 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: And we'll probably dive into that as well, but I 26 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: wanted to start with this book. I didn't interview with 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: Adam Carolla. He's been on the show several times. Adam Carolla, 28 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 2: formerly of The Man Show, really funny comedian. I know 29 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 2: a lot of you guys out there are are fans 30 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: of Adam Carola. And we talked about Gavin Newsom Buck 31 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: and Adam Carole had a great analogy. He said, Gavin 32 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: Newsom's like a guy who's got a really bad Mexican 33 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: restaurant and he's decided that he wants to franchise it. 34 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: That's what he basically said of Gavin Newsom's tenure as 35 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: the governor of California, that he hasn't done a very 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: good job. People in California are mostly unhappy, but he's 37 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: decided that he wants to take his California brand national. 38 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: And for a guy who has expressed that he has 39 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: no interest, supposedly in being president of the United States, 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: he sure does seem to be doing a lot of 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 2: national interviews. And he did another one with CNN and 42 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: I wanted. By the way, Joe Biden also spoke at 43 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: the UN. I went through and watched a lot of 44 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: these clips, and he said nothing of any substance or interest, 45 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: at least to me. I don't know if you felt differently, Buck, 46 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: but it's like to go speak at the UN and 47 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: talk for twenty five minutes and basically not be capable 48 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: of saying anything that I thought was particularly profound or 49 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 2: illuminating or even frankly interesting. 50 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 3: I thought was very strange. 51 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: But Gavin Newsom, I wanted to play this because everybody's 52 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: now getting asked about Kamala Harris says he's absolute. She 53 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 2: is absolutely the best choice for Biden's running mate. Of course, 54 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: she is listen to cut nine here. 55 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 4: Nancy Pelosi, she heaped praise on Kamala Harris, but she 56 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: declined to say whether or not she. 57 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,679 Speaker 3: Thought that the vice president is best. 58 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 5: Person to be on the ticket with Joe Biden at 59 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 5: twenty twenty four, do you. 60 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 4: Of course she is Biden Harris administration masterclass in terms 61 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 4: of performance, bipartisan deals on infrastructure, bipartisan deals on guns 62 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 4: and debt, ceiling on the chips and side. 63 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: She's the best choice I mean, by. 64 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 6: Definition, if I think this administration the last two and 65 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 6: a half years has been one of the most outstanding 66 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 6: administrations in the last few decades, and she's a member 67 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 6: of that administration, she gets the lady and claimed credit 68 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 6: to a lot of that success. 69 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: Answer is absolutely. 70 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: Okay, buck, what that is like? There's no way that 71 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: he believes anything that he just said. Are we missing 72 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 2: some sort of four D chess? What's going on here? 73 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 5: He knows that he's able to say it in a 74 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 5: way that almost drips with disdain, but that the words 75 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 5: are perfect so far as nobody could look back at 76 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 5: the transcript and say that he was undermining this White House, right. 77 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 5: I mean, he's he's singing the required tune here, but 78 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 5: he's not doing it with any enthusiasm. He's doing what 79 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 5: he thinks he has to do right now to stay 80 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 5: in the good graces of the party machinery, because they 81 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 5: still have not made Although I've seen there are across 82 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 5: the web right now you'll see different pieces people are 83 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 5: raising the anxiety over Biden's age, but they're all saying 84 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 5: it's almost too late. 85 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: It's almost too late. I haven't seen enough of. 86 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 5: The momentum to bring about a switch or to even 87 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 5: get serious about any kind of a last minute switch situation. 88 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 5: So I think Gavin is reading the room with that 89 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 5: as well here, and everybody recognizes that he's gonna run, 90 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 5: I'm sure in the next one. Remember, part of what 91 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 5: we've talked about here is how important the vice presidential 92 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 5: pick is for Trump or for Biden, assuming that Trump 93 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 5: is the nominee. And I guess we have to say 94 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 5: assuming Biden is the nominee too, although he is the president, 95 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 5: that would be quite a quite a change up, quite 96 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 5: a surprise. But Clay, the other part of it is 97 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 5: that you're going to have the general election campaign for 98 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 5: twenty twenty eight effectively kick off two years into the 99 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 5: presidency of whoever ends up winning. So it's not like 100 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 5: you have to wait eight years if you get a 101 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 5: Democrat victory. Here, Gavin Newsom's not waiting on the sidelines 102 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,559 Speaker 5: for eight years. He's waiting on the sidelines for two 103 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 5: at at you know, that's assuming nothing crazy happens the 104 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 5: next few months. So you know, look, he's very he's 105 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 5: very slick. We joke around about it. He gets a 106 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 5: lot of media attention. He understands that I still don't know. 107 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 5: I haven't really seen excellent numbers. I still don't think 108 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 5: that he would play very well in the battleground states. 109 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 5: And at the national level, our presidential elections are to 110 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 5: termined by a handful of states right now. There's a 111 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 5: lot of states that aren't in play. There are a 112 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 5: handful that are, and winning is just a question of 113 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 5: winning in those places. Right Winning in California for a 114 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 5: Democrat is irrelevant. Losing for a Democrat in you know, 115 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 5: Wyoming is irrelevant, although I mean doesn't doesn't have a 116 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 5: lot of Electoral College votes period anyway, but you get 117 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,799 Speaker 5: what I'm saying. I think it's isn't that the most 118 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 5: is the most red state Wyoming by by voting? 119 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 3: I think it's Wyoming. 120 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: It might be it was Wyoming. And honestly, this is 121 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: why Joe Manchin is in such trouble. I think West Virginia. 122 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 2: I think Trump won West Virginia by the biggest margin. 123 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: I think it was thirty nine points. I feel like 124 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: it was West Virginia one, Wyoming two. If somebody on 125 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 2: the staff wants to look that up in the twenty 126 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 2: twenty election, And that's why Joe Manchin is is trying 127 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: to decide. 128 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: Am I right? Is it wy Is it West Virginia one? 129 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 3: Wyoming two? 130 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 5: Well, we'll have the staff check that. When a staff 131 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 5: pull it, it's it's close. It's it's a neck and 132 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 5: neck race between those two. 133 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: So here's the problem with what you just said, Buck, 134 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 2: and I don't disagree. If Gavin Newsom is on record, 135 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: which he just said on CNN, hey, it's the Biden 136 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: Harris administration. They've done an incredible job. How do you 137 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: justify Yes, of course she should be on the ticket. 138 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: Of course she should be the vice president if you 139 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: believe that to be true. Now, how does that not 140 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: get played in the event that Biden wins, Like I 141 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 2: just Harris has to be the nominee. If Biden wins 142 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: back to back elections and she is the VP for 143 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: eight years, And frankly, I think that, and I hate 144 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: to say this, I think that at some point, if 145 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: Biden wins election in twenty four, if he's on the ticket, 146 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: like we said, then she's going to end up president 147 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: of the United States, because I think he's going to 148 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: be physically debilitated to such an extent that he is 149 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: not going to be able to finish his term. And 150 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: again we talked about this last week, just to put 151 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 2: it into contact. You'll say, oh, you shouldn't be talking 152 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: about today. Some people make that argument on the Democrat side. 153 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: Half of every person, half of the people that were 154 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: born on the day that Joe Biden was born, are 155 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 2: already dead in America. So the idea that he at 156 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: eighty two next year, I think he's going to turn 157 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: eighty one in November, that he would be eighty six 158 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: years old and be one hundred percent able to be 159 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: president of the United States is I think crazy. So 160 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: she's going to end up, in my opinion, president of 161 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: the United States if Biden were to win an election 162 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. But even if she didn't, let's 163 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: pretend that somehow Biden serves out his whole term and 164 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: manages to be president until twenty twenty nine, when you 165 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: know they're swearing in a new president. I don't see 166 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: any way that Kamala Harris is not the nominee by 167 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: almost popular acclamation. If people like Gavin Newsom are now 168 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: saying this, I understand your argument if he's trying to 169 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: stay in good graces, but if his goal is to 170 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: be president of the United States, and if it isn't, 171 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 2: I don't understand why he cares about doing all these 172 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 2: national interviews. Right most governors aren't doing regular sit down 173 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 2: interviews nationwide. He's clearly interested in being president of the 174 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 2: United States. I don't see the political calculus here. It 175 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: doesn't add up for me. 176 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 5: What he he can't be seen, Clay, he can't be 177 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 5: seen to undermine or push aside Kamala now or in 178 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 5: the future. What he's doing is presenting it as though 179 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 5: he is totally He's a company man. 180 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 3: He's a party line guy. He supports the administration. But 181 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 3: I mean, if. 182 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 5: At some point in the future the Democrat Party faithful 183 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 5: decide that it just must be Gavin Newsom, he will 184 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 5: humbly and gratefully accept the shove aside of Kamala Harris 185 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 5: as the heir apparent in the Democrat Party. That's positioning that. 186 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: Okay, I understand that, But that would suggest that he 187 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: thinks there may be at the Democrat convention some sort 188 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: of broker selection of a nominee. Because if he is 189 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: going to run for president at some point, barring a 190 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: crazy broker convention situation next year where Biden steps down, 191 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: they have to pick a nominee. Then he's going to 192 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 2: have to enter the race at some point. Now that 193 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 2: they say, but people are demanding that I run and like, 194 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 2: but it's not. 195 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 3: He'll changes tune if he's gonna run. 196 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 5: First of all, I don't think he's running now, or 197 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 5: rather he's not going to run the next year. 198 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 3: I believe we'll see. 199 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 5: I could be wrong, but at this point, if anyone 200 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 5: wanted to play a bet with me on that one, 201 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 5: I think I have to give them some pretty strong odds. 202 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 5: If he's gonna run in uh whatever, at twenty eight, 203 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 5: no one's gonna remember what he says now about Kamala Harris, 204 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 5: and I just think. 205 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: It gets harder to step over her if Biden wins. Now, Biden, 206 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: here's the question. No, he he creates nothing but downside 207 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 2: for himself. If he's seemed undermine right now. He creates 208 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 2: downside in California, he creates downside with the Democrat base. 209 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: He creates downside with voters that he's gonna need down 210 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: the line. This is do you think Gavin Newsom is 211 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 2: rooting for Donald Trump to beat Joe Biden. 212 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 5: I think Gavin Newsom is rooting for Donald Trump to 213 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 5: beat Joe Biden. 214 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 3: I think because that helps him politically. 215 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 2: Think about it as we go to break here in 216 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 2: a little bit, think about how that would help. 217 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: Here's my argument. 218 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 5: But I would say, of course, absolutely not. Are you 219 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 5: asking narcissistic and self obsessed enough that he would want 220 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 5: a Trump presidency even though he thinks Trump is Hitler 221 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 5: or whatever, because it means that. Yeah, I think, Clay, 222 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 5: I think that a lot of these people at this 223 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 5: level of power politically, I think there's something like a 224 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 5: little I think a little right. 225 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 2: I think Gavin Newsom is one hundred percent rooting for 226 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 2: Donald Trump to beat Joe Biden. Because that buck is 227 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 2: how Kamala Harris gets swept off the stage. Her political 228 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: viability right now is attached to Joe Biden. If she's 229 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: able to serve as vice president for eight years, even 230 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: if he doesn't step down and allow her to be 231 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: president at some point, she is the presumptive front runner 232 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: if they got beat. If they got beat by Donald 233 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: Trump or any other Republican candidate, Kamala Harris is out 234 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: in the wash. 235 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 5: But this is why he has to be loyal sounding now, 236 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 5: even though no one. 237 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: Thinks it's hard. 238 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: I'm wondering if the forty chess is if he's thinking 239 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: that Biden's gonna lose, and so then he says, look, 240 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 2: I thought they did a good job, but the American voters, boy, 241 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 2: they didn't agree. I mean, that's a failure of messaging. 242 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: And that's why I've got to run. Now there's a 243 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 2: president here. 244 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 5: Though, well, now you get into whether Biden, we're getting 245 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 5: way out into the future, so we should kind of 246 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 5: bring it back to the moment. But there's a precedent 247 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 5: where Biden was vice president for eight years and party 248 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 5: just pushed him aside. So that has happened. That has happened. 249 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 5: It's not like it would necessarily be Kamala Harris's. But 250 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 5: if she took over while Biden was president and therefore 251 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 5: she was actually president, then things become a little trickier. 252 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 5: But I mean, like RFK Junior, we were talking about 253 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 5: him Clay on the show. RFK Junior made some noise 254 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 5: for about three months, and now the guy can't you know, 255 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 5: a guy can't get five minutes on the Democrat radar anywhere. 256 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 5: No one's doing any hits. They're very disciplined, This communist 257 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 5: Democrat media. 258 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the more I think about it, one 259 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: billion percent, Gavin Newsom is rooting with every fiber of 260 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 2: his being for Donald Trump or. 261 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 3: I think it through too. I think he. I think he. 262 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I think he would. That's the scare step 263 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: to his power. 264 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 5: He would swear on the lives of his ancestors or 265 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 5: whatever that that wasn't true. But I think it probably 266 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 5: is true because that's the kind of guy he is. Well, 267 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 5: you look, next time you guys are having a shab 268 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 5: lea about it. 269 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, talk to him about its aid the guys. 270 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: Guy's got something here. Do you think Gavin Newsom's more 271 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: of a white wine or red wine guy. He's a 272 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 3: white wine guy. You know he's gonna throw that out there. 273 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what company was looking at what that 274 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 2: says about it? 275 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: But I love that you have an opibion. 276 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 5: You know what companies look it out for you when 277 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 5: they upgrade your service and don't charge for it.

I went back during the 304 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: commercial break and looked and confirmed it. So Buck, you 305 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: are right that Wyoming was the state that supported Trump 306 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: the most in twenty twenty. 307 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 5: I'm just gonna have the team clip that, and that's 308 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 5: gonna be my new ringtale, Clay telling. 309 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 3: Me that I'm right every day, all day. I want 310 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: to hear it. 311 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 2: Go ahead, sir, well, yes, because you're now married, so 312 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 2: you probably don't hear that very I do not hear 313 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: it as offense. I used to, Yeah, in your head. 314 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: You used to hear it a lot more you get married. 315 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: I don't think I've been right in twenty years. So 316 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 2: Wyoming sixty nine point This is crazy. Sixty nine point 317 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 2: nine percent of Wyoming voters supported Donald Trump, twenty six 318 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: point six percent for Joe Biden. That was the biggest 319 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: margin in the country in the twenty twenty election, but 320 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: West Virginia was not very far behind six It was 321 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: number two, So Wyoming number one Trump number for Trump 322 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: supporting in twenty twenty. Wyoming was number one, West Virginia 323 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: was number two. Sixty eight point six percent of West 324 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: Virginians voted for just twenty nine point seven percent voted 325 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: for Biden. And that Buck is actually a big storyline 326 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: going into twenty twenty four because Joe Manchin, I believe, 327 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 2: has said that he will officially announce in January what 328 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: his decision is going to be. Jim Justice has opened 329 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: up a big lead, and he's the current governor of 330 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: West Virginia. That is one that I believe there is 331 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: no way that a Democrat can continue to represent West Virginia. 332 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: So I think Joe Manchin is slowly coming to the 333 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: conclusion that he has done there. And there are three 334 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: states that Trump won comfortably in twenty twenty that have 335 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: Republican that have Democrat senators right now, West Virginia, where 336 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 2: I think we are going to get a Republican in there, 337 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: In Ohio and in Montana. Those are three big Trump 338 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: winning states that have have right now Democrat senators, and 339 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 2: all three of those have to be on the chopping 340 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: block in a big way if. 341 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 5: You have a Democrat controlled Senate and a Republican controlled 342 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 5: House and a Trump victory in twenty twenty four. Let's 343 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 5: just throw that out there for a second, because I 344 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 5: don't think there's enough conversation on the right, and I 345 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 5: don't think the conservative base is getting well. 346 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 3: I understand it's a little early. 347 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 5: We're just entering the process now, but you're going to 348 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 5: have to have certainly Republican, a Republican controlled House and 349 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 5: Senate for a Trump presidency to even think about getting 350 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 5: any major legislation through. And I know a lot of 351 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 5: people have it in their minds perhaps, well Trump will 352 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 5: wield the executive veto or not veto pen, but the 353 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 5: executive pen for executive orders in order to accomplish a 354 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 5: lot of things. The truth is, we already saw this, 355 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 5: and what happens is they have universal injunctions that come 356 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 5: down from any federal judge anywhere in the country to 357 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 5: stop Now. You could say, well, it'll make its way 358 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 5: to the Supreme Court and maybe he'll prevail there. Point being, folks, 359 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 5: if we're going to get a lot done, if Trump 360 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 5: is going to get a lot done, is if he 361 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 5: is the candidate and if he wins. For him to 362 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 5: get a lot done, you can't have Democrats and control 363 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 5: of the Senate again, which is a big piece of this. 364 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 5: The Senate races are going. We're going to dial into 365 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 5: these more as we get closer, but those are absolutely critical. 366 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 5: That's a part of this that I think doesn't really 367 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 5: hasn't really factored into the conversation very much. 368 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 2: Yet, Yeah, and look, the reason why we have the 369 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 2: disastrous economic situation that we do on inflation is because 370 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: Joe Biden had for a very limited time a tiny 371 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,920 Speaker 2: control of the Senate in the House, and he exerted 372 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 2: as much possible authority as he could in the first 373 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: two years of his presidency. And so regardless of what 374 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 2: happens in the presidential election in twenty twenty four, we 375 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 2: have got to have Republican control of the Senate because 376 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: the House is going to be on tenter hooks one 377 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: way or the other. The margin is going to be 378 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: tiny one way or the other, and you have that 379 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 2: there should be there should have been Senate control won 380 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: back by Republicans in twenty twenty two. We tripped all 381 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 2: over ourselves in Georgia. We tripped all over ourselves in Arizona, 382 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 2: we tripped all over ourselves in Pennsylvania. Right the three 383 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: states that you could point to and say those were 384 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 2: winnable races, absolutely have to win West Virginia, I think 385 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 2: that one's in the bag. That would make it fifty 386 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: to fifty, and then need to win at least one 387 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: of the two in in Ohio or Montana need to 388 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 2: win all three of those races, really, because those are 389 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 2: red states that should have red senators, and then you 390 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 2: could at least, regardless of how close this presidential election 391 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 2: ends up being in twenty twenty four, you could at 392 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 2: least know that the power was going to be checked, 393 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 2: and worst case scenario, we would have divided government. I'm actually, 394 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: right now buck more optimistic about Senate control than I 395 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 2: am House control, because I just think the House is 396 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: gonna be so tight. The battlefield, as it were, the 397 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 2: landscape actually favors Republicans more in the Senate than I 398 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: think it does in the House. 399 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 5: I certainly hope that's the way it plays out. Did 400 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 5: you mention Arizona, by the way, in. 401 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 2: That I was with one? I have not yet. I 402 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 2: mean Arizona. Obviously it looks like Kerry Lake. There's gonna 403 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: be a three way battle there. We expect Cinema to 404 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: run as an independent against Gego. 405 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 3: That that that's gonna be. 406 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 5: Both messy and very important in this process as well. 407 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 5: You'll have an important race in Arizona already I've seen. 408 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 5: It's almost hard to believe, but this is what they're 409 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 5: they're looking to do. I'm looking at sort of the 410 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 5: enemy playbook here at CNN. They think that Ted Cruz. 411 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 5: They're gonna go after Ted Cruz in Texas. You know, 412 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 5: he's gonna do it. They're thinking they want they want 413 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 5: Beto O'Rourke. 414 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: Perhaps. 415 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm like, is that guy ever gonna go away? No, 416 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 5: I don't even cruise. 417 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: Ted CRU's gonna win in twenty four in Texas, all right, 418 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: Like there there will be a lot of drama, there 419 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 2: will be a lot of focus on. 420 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 3: Oh no, he'll win. 421 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 5: But it's just funny that they they Ted Cruise is 422 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 5: their white whale man they want to take do they 423 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 5: if they could get one Senate Also, the the whole 424 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 5: Texas phenomenon, they think that if they can go into 425 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 5: the largest solid red state, they'll be in a position anyway. 426 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 5: That's I think the Ted will be fine. You mentioned Montana. 427 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 5: That's important, West Virginia, that's very important. Look, it's basically 428 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 5: it tracks with most of the important battleground states period. 429 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 5: The Senate races that are going to matter are going 430 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 5: to be in states that the presidential candidates are going 431 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 5: to be really duking. 432 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: It out in you know, Wisconsin, Nevada. Let me see, Yeah, wiscons. 433 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: Michigan's going to have a because they're not going to 434 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 2: have an incumbent. But Pennsylvania too, Isn't isn't Casey In Pennsylvania, 435 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: Casey is going to be running against McCormick, who yearly 436 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 2: beat Oz in the primary. It seems like Pennsylvania is 437 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: kind of clearing the deck for McCormick. I'm sure we'll 438 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 2: have him on at some point. There are a lot 439 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 2: of battleground safe states. Right but when I look at 440 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 2: it and say, okay, we're down fifty one forty nine 441 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: right now in the Senate, three that should West Virginia 442 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 2: should happen? 443 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 6: Right? 444 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: So, I think West Virginia, I think Democrats are basically 445 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 2: going to throw in the towel there. We're going to 446 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: be fifty to fifty. Okay, then at a minimum, you 447 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 2: need to win Wyoming or Ohio. Trump won Ohio by 448 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: eight points. He won Montana by like twelve or something 449 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 2: like that. I think those are states that were big 450 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 2: red winners. Assuming again we're presuming looking out at the 451 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 2: landscape right now, if Trump is on the ballot, he 452 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 2: would perform well in West Virginia. He would perform well 453 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 2: in Ohio, he would perform well in Montana. We have 454 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 2: ample evidence of that from the last two presidential cycles. 455 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: So there should be some tail, you know, some tailwind, 456 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,479 Speaker 2: some coattails to elevate whoever those candidates are, and at 457 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 2: a minimum, take back of the Senate because as much 458 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 2: of a battle as the presidency's going to be, what 459 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: I want to know, Buck, is when I go to 460 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 2: bed on election night next year, in about fourteen months, 461 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 2: I want to at least know worst case scenario divided government, 462 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,959 Speaker 2: because we can't have what happened with the first two 463 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 2: years of Biden, where he comes in and look, Buck, 464 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: as bad as inflation is, no one talks about this. 465 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 2: It could have been so much we five trillion, We 466 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 2: would have been sitting at thirteen or fourteen percent inflation. 467 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 2: And the only reason that didn't happen is because Joe 468 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 2: Manchin and Kirsten Cinema said no, we're not going to 469 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 2: go for this. But that's how close, how fine the 470 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 2: line was between the blowout and you just mentioned we're 471 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: sitting at thirty three trillion in debt, we'd be like 472 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 2: thirty seven or thirty eight trillion in debt. If the 473 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: Democrats had gotten to spend money like they wanted to. 474 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: So at a minimum, we have to have a check 475 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: out there on this. But that is where the landscape 476 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: looks as we set fourteen months out. My hope is, 477 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: by the way, that Joe Manchin actually runs a third 478 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: party candidate, because that's the one aspect that nobody spending 479 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: a lot of time on. I would say, kind of 480 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,239 Speaker 2: projecting in twenty twenty four, we know Cornell west right 481 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: is going to be the Green Party candidate, and I 482 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 2: do think that as a black guy running on the 483 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: far left, he may peel off some support, just like 484 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: Jill Stein did for Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen. We 485 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 2: know you idiots out there who vote libertarian are going 486 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 2: to show up and still vote libertarian in challenge states, 487 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 2: and so that's going to be an issue. But if 488 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 2: we could get somebody like Joe Manchin on the ballot, 489 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 2: I think that that would hurt Biden the most and 490 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: make a Trump victory or whoever the Republican nominee is 491 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: more likely. 492 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 5: All Right, second hour of Clay and Buck kicks off 493 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 5: right now. Thanks for being here with us, everybody. A 494 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 5: couple of things to put on your radar. First off, off, 495 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 5: national debt today topping thirty three trillion dollars sounds like 496 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 5: a lot of money to me. This is a problem, folks. 497 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 5: It's the problem that our political system is unwilling, certainly 498 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 5: to fix in any meaningful way. 499 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 3: I know there's. 500 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 5: Discussions about a continuing resolution right now for the budget 501 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 5: and a government shutdown and all that we've been through 502 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 5: this too many times. 503 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 3: The government will not be shut down. They will extend 504 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 3: the funding and. 505 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 5: People, you can't even get anyone's attention focused on this 506 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 5: for more than a few minutes because everyone, I think 507 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 5: recognizes that reality. We got the householding the first impeachment 508 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 5: inquiry next Thursday. We'll discuss or we've discussed that a 509 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 5: little bit. We'll get back into it later. Plus Trump 510 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 5: will be skipping the debate next week and instead is 511 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 5: going to hold a rally with auto workers in Detroit. 512 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 5: As you know, there are strikes right now the auto industry, 513 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 5: the unions trying to negotiate the usual stuff, better wages 514 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 5: and benefits, a lot of it revolving are also around 515 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 5: the electric car industry and how that will be competitive 516 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 5: or whether it will be competitive in the future. So 517 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 5: Trump going to do that, Clay, we can talk about 518 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 5: the decision to skip the debate in a few First off, though, 519 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 5: I wanted to let everyone hear this because I think 520 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 5: this is an issue that the more people understand, the 521 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 5: more they will be furious at the Biden administration for 522 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 5: what is a clear dereliction of duty. We are told 523 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 5: in so many ways in this country that you have 524 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 5: to obey the law, the laws, the law, even though 525 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 5: laws can be so complicated at the federal level that 526 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 5: you'll have different attorneys have different interpretations of them. And 527 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 5: this has been a problem for a long time. We 528 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 5: have an enormously complicated legal system on many issues. On immigration, 529 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 5: we have a legal system that is complicated by the 530 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 5: fact that the federal government decides that the law is 531 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 5: no longer can how immigration law doesn't really matter? And 532 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 5: I know they say, oh, but what about this, and 533 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 5: they'll point to all these things. At the end of 534 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 5: the day, you have millions and millions of people who 535 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,239 Speaker 5: are in the country without legal permission to be here. 536 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 5: You have millions more who have entered. The number right now, Clay, 537 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 5: it's got to be something over six million, I think 538 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 5: is a good estimate. In three years of Biden, we're 539 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 5: talking about we're talking about three million, I'm sorry, two 540 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 5: million a year over three years on average, not going 541 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 5: to get any better. In fact, the numbers look like 542 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 5: they're getting as bad in terms of illegal crossings as 543 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 5: they've ever been. Here is Bill Malugin over at Fox 544 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,719 Speaker 5: News Clay announcing over just the last few days, how 545 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 5: many encounters meaning people being detained at the border because 546 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 5: they've entered illegally. Did they see play This is from 547 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 5: Customs and Border Patrol play it. 548 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 7: But you're getting some new staggering numbers from our CBP 549 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 7: contacts telling us that between Friday and Monday there were 550 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 7: over thirty five thousand migrant encounters at our southern border. 551 00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 3: You do the math on that. 552 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 7: That's almost nine thousand every single day, astronomical numbers approaching 553 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 7: record highs. 554 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 5: Clay, approaching record highs. Thirty five thousand people, I mean, 555 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 5: a pretty good sized sports arena full of people who 556 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 5: are all entering the country illegally. They're not going through 557 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 5: the ports of entry, they're not going through the normal process. 558 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 5: A lot of them will end up in major cities 559 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 5: like New York. We see what that does to New 560 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 5: York City. The Biden administration, I think people have to 561 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 5: recognize this is an active decision that they've made to allow. 562 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: This scam of asylum seeking to continue. 563 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 5: And by the time that people will be able to 564 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 5: cast judgment in next November on this process, if they 565 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 5: know about it, we're probably going to have eight million 566 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 5: people who have entered the United States illegally in one 567 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 5: presidential term. Yeah, there was and I don't know if 568 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 5: you saw it Sunday in the New York Times, Buck, 569 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 5: I think it was the front page article about the 570 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 5: Darien Gap, which is now become one of the primary 571 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 5: conduits to get to the United States from all of 572 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 5: Latin America, and for people out there who don't really 573 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 5: understand what this thing is. 574 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 3: For a long time, the idea was you couldn't walk. 575 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: Let's say, from Venezuela and obviously take boats and cars 576 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: and everything else, because this Darien Gap region was considered 577 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 2: to be so inhospitable that basically you would never be 578 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: able to get through this jungle area because and this 579 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 2: is from between Colombia and Panama. For people out there 580 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 2: that I'm not a geographic wonder star by any stretch 581 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 2: of the imagination, but if you picture this area. 582 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 3: And buck the article all about it. 583 00:29:54,920 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 2: So the Darien Gap was this supposedly almost impossible traverse 584 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 2: area between Colombia and Panama where people could then continue 585 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 2: their walk the rest of the way on the Columbia 586 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 2: side of the Darien Gap. Now they have built an 587 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: entire industry that basically is I would encourage people to 588 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 2: go read this article about what's going on there, but 589 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 2: they will give you. They basically have taken over Columbia 590 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 2: sort of. They're not military, but it's like a game basically, 591 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 2: and they provide security. But you have to pay a 592 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 2: fee to traverse the Dairyen Gap and they'll there are 593 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 2: different ways you can go, like you can hire a porter, 594 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 2: you can hire boats, you can get somebody who will 595 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 2: set up tents. 596 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 3: They sell food along the way. 597 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 2: It's a massive industry that they have created and it 598 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 2: is filled with hundreds of thousands of people now that 599 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 2: are constantly walking through en route to our southern border. 600 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 5: I mean, I think about this and what the incentives 601 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 5: are for people. Let's say just and there are illegals 602 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 5: coming in from all over the world, one hundred and 603 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 5: sixty plus countries represented. But if you look at this 604 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 5: you're let's say a migrant. You know, one of the 605 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 5: one of the countries where we've had a fair number 606 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 5: of migrants come in would be Venezuela, right if and 607 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 5: now there's different Some countries are under a special you know, 608 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 5: there's a dispensation because of either a natural disaster. I 609 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 5: think that was in Central America a few countries for 610 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 5: a while. I mean there's specifics for each each nation, 611 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 5: but let's just generally speaking, if you're from a South 612 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 5: American country, doesn't matter which one you can try to 613 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 5: and you have no tie into America, no family here already, 614 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 5: you can try to go through the legal immigration process 615 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 5: and it will take you years and you may be unsuccessful, 616 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 5: or you can do what you're talking about, yeah, where 617 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,719 Speaker 5: you just get into America. And under the Biden administration, 618 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 5: there is no notion of punishment or there's nothing punitive 619 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,280 Speaker 5: about entering the country illegally. Now you will not be detained, 620 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 5: you will not be told that you know you've broken 621 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 5: the law, really not in any meaningful way, and in fact, 622 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 5: you'll be transported somewhere, given free food, free health care. 623 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 5: And then you'll have politicians in America demanding you be 624 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 5: given work permits, so then you can compete with particularly 625 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 5: those at the lower end of the wage scale in 626 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 5: this country, even though you're in the country illegally. It 627 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 5: is appalling what is going on. It is contrary where 628 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 5: he's told all the statutes and the law, and you 629 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 5: have to pay such attention to the law when it 630 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 5: comes to like taxes, for example, on immigration. This stuff 631 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 5: is being abused left and right all the time. There's 632 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 5: constant intentional malfeasans. And you brought up the system that 633 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 5: people have set up to get here. It's big business 634 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 5: for the cartels now, even saying if you add it 635 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 5: all up, it gets to be close to even more 636 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 5: than what they make selling Fentonal, right, and you know 637 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 5: fental obviously. 638 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,239 Speaker 3: Did they say that cartel. 639 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 2: Traversing of the border to put it in context, is 640 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 2: a bigger business, Yes, than any pro sport. There is 641 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 2: more revenue being produced. This is not talking about drugs. 642 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 2: On the illegal crossing of the border. The cartels make 643 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 2: more money than the NFL teams do combined, like they're 644 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 2: talking about as big as you know NFL football is. 645 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 2: The cartel business to get people illegally into the country 646 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 2: is a bigger business than the nfl IS. 647 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 5: And over the weekend there were videos circulating online, different 648 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 5: news sites picking them up. You know, Fox News had 649 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 5: this Daily Mail had this of freight trains coming up 650 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 5: from Mexico and they are absolutely, you know, overflowing with 651 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 5: single adult males. I should note not with families in 652 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 5: these videos, single adult males who are on their way 653 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 5: to the US Mexico border to come into the country illegally. So, 654 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 5: you know the visualization of a think of you know, 655 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 5: some of you've probably been stuck at a railroad crossing 656 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 5: and a freight train. You know, those freight trains can 657 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 5: just they're like a mile long and these things just 658 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 5: go forever. Imagine a freight train where in every single 659 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 5: car there are I mean, I'm looking at the photos 660 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 5: right now, you know, you're talking about you know, twenty people, 661 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 5: thirty people in every car and that's just one train. Yeah, 662 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 5: and they're all just getting ready to get into the country, 663 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 5: our country illegally. The Biden administration is only working to 664 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 5: make this easier and more comfortable for them. They're not 665 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 5: trying to stop it. 666 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 667 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 2: And the other thing we should add on the incentive 668 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 2: structure jobs is one if you come here and you 669 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 2: have it. Because this article about the Darien gap. There 670 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 2: are women who are pregnant that decide they are going 671 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 2: to do whatever it takes to get to the United 672 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 2: States and have that baby. Your kid is then a 673 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 2: citizen and you will never be kicked out. So again, 674 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 2: incentive structures matter. And I want everybody out to pretend 675 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 2: that you are in Venezuela. You are a part of 676 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 2: the broken socialist system of Maduro. There's probably a decent 677 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 2: chance that you have family or friends who live in 678 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 2: the United States now buck, they may not live now 679 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 2: near you. South Florida has a huge Venezuelan fily, a 680 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: ton of Venezuelan migrants here. Yeah, And if you knew 681 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 2: that you had family living in the United States, this 682 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,919 Speaker 2: land of milk and honey, and all that it took 683 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 2: was you getting to the southern border and getting into 684 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 2: the United States, and that your child would then become 685 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 2: a citizen of the United States, wouldn't you do everything 686 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 2: in your power to get here. 687 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 3: I would. I'm gonna be honest with you. 688 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 2: If I were Venezuelan and I had friends and family 689 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 2: living in the South Florida area, living anywhere Franklin in 690 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 2: the United States, and I was talking to them on 691 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 2: the phone and they were saying, you know, I'm making 692 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 2: forty x what I was making, and my wife or 693 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 2: girlfriend just had a baby, and I've now got an 694 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 2: American citizen son or daughter. This is a no brainer. 695 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: And this is why Buck, I think there needs to 696 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 2: be a serious conversation. We have to have this conversation 697 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 2: birthright citizenship. Trump said he was going to end it 698 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 2: in his first term, and he said he was going 699 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 2: to end in his first term. He says he will 700 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 2: end it in his second term. He did not end 701 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,399 Speaker 2: it in his first term. Okay, but I hear hardly 702 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 2: anybody talking about it to me. With this debate coming 703 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 2: up on September twenty seventh, I think this is a 704 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 2: situation and again a lot of people don't want to 705 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 2: even think about this. The argument for birthright citizenship. I'm 706 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 2: not talking about if you are a citizen and you're 707 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 2: serving overseas in Korea or you're serving overseas in Germany, 708 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 2: your kids should certainly. 709 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,440 Speaker 5: Be of course, that is what the law says, subject 710 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 5: to the jurisdiction thereof meaning you are a US subject 711 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 5: abroad you are not somebody who is a foreigner who 712 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 5: comes here. 713 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 2: This, the birthright says, doesn't exist hardly anywhere in the world. 714 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 2: You know, go to Japan or China and have a 715 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: baby there and then have dual citizenship because you're an American, 716 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 2: they're also a Japanese. That the legacy of this, and 717 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 2: I researched it and wrote about it a lot in 718 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 2: my book Buck. This is a colonialius legacy. The idea 719 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 2: was back in the day, if you're going to be 720 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 2: willing to go to Brazil and live in a colony, 721 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 2: or you're willing to come to the United States, your 722 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 2: kids would be British subjects because they didn't want to 723 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,360 Speaker 2: give up their ability to be connected to the homeland. 724 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 2: That's why only two I think of the G seven, 725 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 2: America and Canada, actually have by soil citizenship. 726 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,600 Speaker 3: If you're born there, you become a citizen. Well, you 727 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,439 Speaker 3: can just think this through. 728 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 5: If you're an American serving in let's say Germany, or 729 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 5: you know, you're an American serviceman or something, your wife 730 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 5: gets pregnant, you have a kid there, guess what that 731 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 5: kids in America very straightforward. 732 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 3: Otherwise you're going to have a whole problem. 733 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 5: It is not for me or that kid is not German, right, Yeah, 734 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 5: And so you apply that same logic to what happens 735 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 5: in this country, and you can see how the whole 736 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 5: premise is wrong. I mean, the premise that you could 737 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 5: have a foreign national, not with the legal permission to 738 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 5: be in the United States, who gives birth here and 739 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 5: then that person is is defined as an American for 740 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 5: the purposes of law. 741 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 3: That's wrong. 742 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 5: And you know it's wrong, especially when you see the 743 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 5: way that these birth hotels are set up in because 744 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,840 Speaker 5: they've actually prosecuted people for this in California specifically with 745 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 5: particularly Asian and Chinese. Individuals will pay to come here 746 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 5: to have their baby here to go back to China, 747 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,040 Speaker 5: and then eighteen years later their kid is a US 748 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 5: citizen and wants to go to Berkeley and wants to 749 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 5: you know, and is a US citizen for all intents 750 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 5: and purposes. 751 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 3: Right, You're not. 752 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 5: That's actually illegal. You're not allowed to do that. There's 753 00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 5: a reason why that's illegal. But the the system here, 754 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 5: the more people that get piled into the system who 755 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,040 Speaker 5: are illegal, the greater the weight to just do exactly 756 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 5: what the Democrats want, which is a mass amnesty which 757 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 5: will forever change the American electorate. 758 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 3: That's the plan. 759 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 5: And people who say, oh, they won't have they won't 760 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,479 Speaker 5: be uh, they won't be given voting rights. Sure, sure, 761 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 5: sure they won't right. I mean, this is like go 762 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 5: back evenn Reagan, was it an eighty six. I think 763 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,320 Speaker 5: Reagan went along with an amnesty. He did, and it 764 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 5: was one of his big regrets, he would say later 765 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 5: on in life, because the amnesty happened, but all the 766 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 5: border security that didn't happen. 767 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 768 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 2: And also, by the way, what we do know happen, 769 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 2: buck is all these kids that are born here are 770 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 2: citizens and they'll be able to vote. 771 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 3: So that's millions. 772 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 5: Of course, with war, we've got one political party that 773 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 5: says that your parents should be made citizens tomorrow, and 774 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:54,080 Speaker 5: another political party that's kind of sort of sometimes saying, hey, 775 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 5: maybe we shouldn't reward this process of coming to the 776 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:57,720 Speaker 5: country illegally. 777 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 3: I think we all know who you know they're more 778 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 3: likely to vote for.

Is that over with him 838 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,400 Speaker 3: because of some papers like because he he had a 839 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 3: drag long all. 840 00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 2: His his Yeah, nothing to do with anything or anybody recorded. 841 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 5: But honestly, oh so, first off all, I'm getting the 842 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 5: sense that the relationship or whatever it was is over right, 843 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 5: That's that's the part of the news from this. She 844 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,840 Speaker 5: made a comment check party affiliations before you go on 845 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 5: a date. I guess the guy was a Democrat, So 846 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 5: you could argue that was her first mistake. 847 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 2: I so, first of all, that's a funny line. I 848 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 2: wonder how the musical ended. Give credit to her. I 849 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,000 Speaker 2: think she's got a pretty good sense of humor. Fuck, 850 00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 2: Howard Stern is afraid to leave his apartment because of COVID. 851 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 2: He stayed in his apartment for two plus years. He 852 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 2: basically wants lockdowns to return. And now he's outraged by 853 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 2: behavior on a date and thinks that because of the 854 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 2: outfit that Bobert was wearing and because of what happened 855 00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,080 Speaker 2: on the date, that she shouldn't be able to represent 856 00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,799 Speaker 2: the state of Colorado. That's what he argued on his show, 857 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 2: and we had some clips, but the clips are evidently 858 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 2: not able to be aired on regular radio. To me, 859 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 2: Howard Stern is a great example of someone that used 860 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 2: to be I think he used to consider himself a 861 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,040 Speaker 2: Republican whatever you think about that. 862 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 5: Yes, really, yeah, I think he did. I was never 863 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 5: a listener. I was a rush listener. I did not 864 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,640 Speaker 5: have time for this, mister Howard Stern fellow. 865 00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,240 Speaker 2: I appreciated and thought many Howard Stern clips were funny 866 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,359 Speaker 2: over the years. I think he's a talented radio guy, 867 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 2: but I think actually his trajectory is so interesting and 868 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,080 Speaker 2: evocative of what's happened to the left in this country. 869 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 2: Because whatever you think of Howard Stern, he used to 870 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,360 Speaker 2: be a rebel. FCC was always after him. He was 871 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 2: always in danger of losing money, losing a show, violating 872 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:26,080 Speaker 2: the rules and promulgations associated with radio. 873 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 5: He said he is in the past probably a Republican 874 00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,560 Speaker 5: if you look at some of the issues that he 875 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 5: cares about. 876 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 2: I don't know what that really means, but I think 877 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,359 Speaker 2: he talked about running as a repeat. I bet there's 878 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,880 Speaker 2: people who listen to us now that used to be 879 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 2: Howard Stern listeners. I'm very confident of that because Stern's 880 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 2: Pathbuck has been from I'm an outsider, I am a idiosyncratic, 881 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 2: interesting thinker who is not in the mainstream, to becoming 882 00:45:55,640 --> 00:46:00,480 Speaker 2: the most dogmatic enforcer of the people in positions power. 883 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 2: Wear a mask, don't leave your house. Oh my goodness, 884 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 2: can you believe what that girl is wearing. He's now 885 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,239 Speaker 2: everything that he used to hate. And this is I 886 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:16,040 Speaker 2: think Buck really important for people out there listening. Republicans 887 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 2: have for the first time in my life and I 888 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 2: wrote about this a lot in my book, An opportunity 889 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 2: to actually be the party that is pro full flourishment 890 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 2: of creativity that the Left has become so dogmatic in 891 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 2: its enforcement of what's acceptable to say and do that 892 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 2: just by being a party that likes jokes, just by 893 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:50,239 Speaker 2: being a party that is pro hey, wear sexy dress 894 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 2: and go on a date if you want, That's how 895 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 2: I think you go back and reclaim some of these 896 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 2: voters that have been lost, particularly younger people, because they 897 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 2: don't want to be the part of young people on 898 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 2: some level enjoy rebelling. And the idea that the left 899 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,479 Speaker 2: in this country has become the school arms, the people 900 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 2: wagging their fingers and saying, oh my goodness, you can't 901 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,880 Speaker 2: do this or you can't do that is something that 902 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:18,759 Speaker 2: I never would have believed would happen in my life. 903 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,839 Speaker 2: And I think Howard Stern is emblematic of that trajectory 904 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 2: because he's become everything that he used to claim to hate. 905 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 5: Look, all you have to know is if somebody is 906 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 5: as crazy about COVID as he is, you can't trust 907 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 5: their judgment on anything anymore. I think they have become effectively, 908 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 5: you know, overtaken by an anxiety disorder and that affects 909 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,440 Speaker 5: their ability to see the world. I think, very very broadly, 910 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 5: especially when you start talking about policy and politics. Look 911 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 5: on the Lauren Bovert thing, that one thing that sticks 912 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,000 Speaker 5: out to me is they're trying to run now, they're 913 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 5: trying to say that that she's effectively committed a crime. 914 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 5: I mean, I like to this is something else that 915 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,879 Speaker 5: they like to do. And this this, uh you see 916 00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,960 Speaker 5: this on the left. They're the same people, I will 917 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,080 Speaker 5: point this out, the same people who are writing and 918 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 5: these are you know, I think up on the Drudge 919 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 5: Report right now, which used to be like one of 920 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 5: my favorite websites, and unfortunately it has gone gone over 921 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,360 Speaker 5: to uh it has a bandoned the forest and has 922 00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,760 Speaker 5: joined the dark side. But I think there's a story 923 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 5: up there about how maybe Lauren Bobert, you know, broke 924 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,240 Speaker 5: a broke a lot or something. Sure, these the same 925 00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 5: people who will go along with that and say something 926 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,800 Speaker 5: like that. And there's a whole lot of other cases 927 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,440 Speaker 5: or you know, allegations against you know, people that are. 928 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 3: On the right or in some way out of favor 929 00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 3: with the left. 930 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:44,760 Speaker 5: Those same voices will be the ones that are shouting 931 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 5: at you who are having any problem with grown men 932 00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 5: in fishnets and thongs dancing in front of little kids 933 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 5: at drag queen story or not sorry abag in these 934 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,160 Speaker 5: drag queen brunches that they were doing for a while. 935 00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,440 Speaker 5: So Lauren Bobert, you know, consenting adults. You know, she's 936 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,120 Speaker 5: getting a little hand they're getting a little handsy. I 937 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 5: don't believe anything was exposed that they're saying might be 938 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,680 Speaker 5: a crime. But the same voices on the left that 939 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,360 Speaker 5: will try to say, oh, we should look at that 940 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 5: as some kind of a violation of statute maybe are 941 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,000 Speaker 5: the same people that think that kids should be at 942 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 5: these drag you know what I mean, Like, there's yeah, 943 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 5: they use these things as a weapon. There's no decency, 944 00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,919 Speaker 5: there's no foundational ethics or morality that they draw upon 945 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,600 Speaker 5: for these distinctions. It's just they the other team we 946 00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 5: will destroy and our team we will defend. Yeah, And 947 00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 5: you know, I think you see that to the point 948 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 5: about Howard Stern and saying, oh, well, I mean he's 949 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,880 Speaker 5: kind of weird, but I don't know what his politics 950 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 5: really are. But the people that are attacking Lauren Bobert 951 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 5: for this, to your point, are the same people who. 952 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:44,480 Speaker 2: Are fine with the Virginia State rep you know, running 953 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 2: and that playbook twenty five years ago. Twenty years ago, 954 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 2: even if Howard Stern saw a picture of Lauren Bobert 955 00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 2: in that dress, he would have said, my goodness, this 956 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 2: is the best looking congresswoman on the planet. 957 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,080 Speaker 3: Why isn't she in the Senate? Why isn't she running 958 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:03,760 Speaker 3: for president? 959 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,320 Speaker 2: He would have talked about how good looking she was 960 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,799 Speaker 2: as evidence of why he cared about her. Right now, 961 00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 2: the dress that she's wearing is so unacceptable that she 962 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,839 Speaker 2: shouldn't be able to represent the state of Colorado. 963 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 3: I mean, I would think this is just a this 964 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 3: is a crazy. 965 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,400 Speaker 2: Trajectory, and I don't think Howard Stern is alone in it. 966 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:31,160 Speaker 2: Buck the people who would have gone to would Why 967 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 2: has Howard Stern upset about this? Given that you think 968 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 2: that he's kind of a Republican, Like, why. 969 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 3: Is he like that? 970 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 6: No? 971 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,399 Speaker 3: I think he I think he now he has said 972 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:40,120 Speaker 3: in the past that he was a Republican. 973 00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,440 Speaker 2: I think that he has so gone left, and so 974 00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 2: I almost think that he's afraid of some of the 975 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,480 Speaker 2: jokes that he's made in the past, and he's like 976 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,800 Speaker 2: falling down on his hands and knees, beggaring to not 977 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 2: get canceled. 978 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,320 Speaker 5: Do you think do you think COVID might have switched 979 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 5: the circuitry in his brain, because I think that's happened 980 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 5: to other people. I think they'd got full leftist because 981 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 5: COVID broke them. I think that that has certainly accelerated. 982 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 5: I think Trump started to break him. I think he 983 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,800 Speaker 5: is a representation of someone in creative space who, prior 984 00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:13,839 Speaker 5: to Trump had somewhat reasonable insane perspectives. And the thing 985 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 5: is here, Bucket, I think is so important, and you 986 00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,160 Speaker 5: kind of hit on it. We talked about it yesterday. 987 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 2: There is a principle if you are out there listening 988 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 2: to us right now, and your principle is. 989 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 3: I don't want for. 990 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 2: People who engage in acts of immorality, right, whether it's 991 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,880 Speaker 2: Bill Clinton, whether it's Lauren Bogert on a much smaller scale. Right, 992 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 2: If your perspective is personal behavior matters deeply to you 993 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 2: and you would not want to vote, there's some people 994 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 2: out there, buck who don't want to vote for somebody 995 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:46,400 Speaker 2: who's gotten divorced. Right, Like this has been an issue before, 996 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:48,239 Speaker 2: Like if personal morality is of. 997 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 3: Extreme importance to you. 998 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 2: I understand that, but I think you have to apply 999 00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 2: it consistently and if it isn't, then I think you 1000 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 2: look at it on a case by case basis and say, Okay, 1001 00:51:59,040 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 2: is this acceptable or not. 1002 00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,200 Speaker 5: And this is what I meant about, especially allegations that 1003 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 5: involve anything that is in the in the realm of 1004 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,759 Speaker 5: you know, uh, sex, sexuality, these sorts of things. Yeah, 1005 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 5: you know, Joe Biden was accused by a Senate staffer 1006 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:20,120 Speaker 5: of sexual assault on the record by name, knew him, 1007 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 5: very retailed for years, and it is never brought up 1008 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 5: by the same people who will say that the you know, 1009 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:31,319 Speaker 5: the Egen Carol allegations are obviously you know, they'll say 1010 00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,919 Speaker 5: it's obviously true in the whole thing. They never bring 1011 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,839 Speaker 5: it up because morality to them is a joke. It's 1012 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 5: just the pretense of morality that can be used as 1013 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 5: a weapon. Yes, And I think we see that against 1014 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 5: a lot of people these days. And it is the 1015 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,279 Speaker 5: leftist authoritarians who are the most vicious, who will who 1016 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 5: will cast out presumption of innocence, you know, the Kavanaugh 1017 00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 5: effect I've called that comes to mind as well. This 1018 00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:58,239 Speaker 5: is something that people need to really think long and 1019 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 5: hard about, because this becomes a situation where I mean, 1020 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:03,640 Speaker 5: you know, you're gonna serve in public You're going to 1021 00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 5: serve in public life, you member of Congress. If people 1022 00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,960 Speaker 5: are going to throw the book at you for for 1023 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,000 Speaker 5: what really vaping and you know, uh, heavy petting or 1024 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 5: whatever they caught, I don't know what. 1025 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 2: I'm not sure what that's what the phrase is. But yeah, 1026 00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,600 Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, it is a non entity. 1027 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:25,960 Speaker 2: And yet because she's a Republican, it is a monster story. 1028 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 2: And by the way, I would just encourage everybody out 1029 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,200 Speaker 2: there listening figure out what your own personal line is 1030 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,320 Speaker 2: and try to apply an even standard regardless of the politician. 1031 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,800 Speaker 5: Wasn't there a staff a Democrat female member of Congress 1032 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,400 Speaker 5: who was having like a threesome with the staffers and 1033 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,360 Speaker 5: and then she said that it was like persecution because 1034 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:46,600 Speaker 5: she's a woman, you know what I'm talking about. 1035 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 3: It wasn't that. 1036 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,640 Speaker 2: I think she was a California congresswoman. She lost her seat, 1037 00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,480 Speaker 2: right there were sex tapes or nude photos or whatever 1038 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:53,359 Speaker 2: that came out of her. 1039 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 3: And so yeah, I mean I. 1040 00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 5: Look at that, and and you know, I'm saying Democrats 1041 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,440 Speaker 5: defended that though they said that sexist, that she may 1042 00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 5: be the perfect example is this Virginia Republican who was 1043 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 5: taking money to engage in sex acts on camera, and 1044 00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 5: then when the story came out that she had done that, 1045 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 5: she said she was a victim of revenge porn. 1046 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 3: It's like, no, if you are a porn star. 1047 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 2: It isn't a crime for people to decide to factor 1048 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 2: in that you are a porn star and whether they 1049 00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:24,880 Speaker 2: want to vote for you or not. Like if you 1050 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,759 Speaker 2: are and I don't know what the definition of star is, 1051 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,160 Speaker 2: but if you are in a porno, if you're having 1052 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 2: sex for money on camera, to me, you are a 1053 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,760 Speaker 2: porn star, right Like that you haven't chosen to engage 1054 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,759 Speaker 2: in pornography. That is very much in the in the 1055 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 2: public ze. I guess I think that's very reasonable for 1056 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,960 Speaker 2: any voter in Virginia to consider. Now, maybe maybe that 1057 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 2: makes you more likely to vote for him. I think 1058 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,880 Speaker 2: that would be crazy, But you have that right. But 1059 00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,040 Speaker 2: the idea that she can be a victim and and 1060 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:56,960 Speaker 2: that you should still vote for in Virginia. And meanwhile, 1061 00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,160 Speaker 2: Warren Bobert should be kicked out of Congress.
