1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: The second hour of Clay and Buck goes right. Now

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: we're joined by Steve Hilton. He's running for governor in California. Steve,

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: always great to have you our friend, But we got

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: to dive into something before we get into all the

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: policy and all the seriousness. It seems that you, sir,

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: are sporting a Clay Travis style beard, and I just

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: want to say that the people of America have spoken.

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: They are fans of your salt and pepper beard. I'm

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: a slightly different generation than you and Clay, so my

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: beard doesn't quite have the gravitas of all that silver

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: quite yet, but I think it looks very distinguished on

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: you and Clay. And so I'm a proponent.

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: Okay. So I got to tell you the story, and

14
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: it's got a good ending. So it's totally accidental. We're

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: away for Thanksgiving last November, and I was just lazy

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: and I didn't shave. And the first day back, I

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: had some really early TV hit like Fox and Friends

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: or something, and I thought I just didn't have the

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: time or the energy to shave. As I went on,

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: assuming i'd get all this feedback saying you're so scruffy,

21
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: why didn't you clean up quite the opposite. A bunch

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: of nice messages about the beard, which really wasn't a beard.

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: At that point, I thought I'd tried it out on

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: the road in California. I took a poll at every

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: event that I did, overwhelmingly positive. And here and then

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 2: there are two moments that I thought I gotta stick

27
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: with this. Number One, I did Don Junior's podcast, and

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: you know, I've known Don from many years, and he

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: came on on the zoom and the first thing he

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 2: said was, hey, man, love the Maga beard. So I thought,

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 2: I don't know, is that a thing, the Maga Beard.

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: And then here's the one that I think you'll enjoy.

33
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: I just got a text from a good friend of

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: mine who's supporting me, a legend James Woods, the legendary

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 2: James Woods texted me last week and said, this is it.

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: It gives you exactly the right amount of gravitas. I

37
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: really think you can win this now. So it's staying.

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: You're like the Doseki's guy with a British accent. So

39
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: I think that this is this is a strong there's

40
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: a strong play for you. We support it. But now

41
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: let's get into this because we've talked about the governor thing.

42
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 1: We're going to talk you about that more. You got

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: to tell us what's going on here with the most

44
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: recent fraud revelations in your state. Obviously, all the Democrats

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: in charge obviously knew, some asleep at the wheeler probably

46
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't even care about the fraud hospices. What

47
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: do we know about the hospice fraud.

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: Well, the first thing to bear in minded this is

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: not neglect or incompetence. This is corruption. Because the reason

50
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: that all this fraud has gone on in California and

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: our estimate, So remember, just to take a few steps back.

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: I set up last year in the wake of the

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: Minnesota revelations a whistleblower line here in California called califoraud

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: dot com. We've had thousands of tips coming in, and

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: then earlier this year we set up cal Doge, which

56
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: is now up and running. Obviously, we're not elected yet,

57
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 2: so it's not an official thing, but you've got many

58
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: volunteers going through the books finding the fraud and we're

59
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: publishing these fraud reports. And one of the main areas

60
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: that we got tips for was in this medical space

61
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: because it's just huge amounts of money. It's and the

62
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: reason it's corrupt is if you look at the donations

63
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: to Democrat politicians in California and you look at the categories,

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 2: and Gavin Newsom is a useful proxy. Here's to be

65
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: running statewide in California for sixteen years. The number one

66
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: category of his donors government unions number two, try lawyers

67
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: number three, private sector unions number four, healthcare, healthcare don't

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: they're making money off of this, and they are, And

69
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is the puppet of these people who are

70
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: doing the fraud. And that's why this goes on. It's

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: not neglect, it's not incompetence, it's corruption. And the scale

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: of it is just unbelievable. And the brazen, shameless theft

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: of our money to put in the pockets of these

74
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: scammers that then give money donations to Gavin us and

75
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: the other Democrats. It's just unbelievable. But the good news

76
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: is we'll be now and does not just ask you

77
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: had various people now really investigating it. You've got the

78
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: Federal Action JD leading that it's really going to come

79
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: to an end, especially when I'm elected in November, and

80
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: we're going to just stop all this in its tracks.

81
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: Last point I'd make is I'm putting together a slate,

82
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: a team of candidates running with me statewide in California

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: that's never been done before. In the governor's race. A

84
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 2: very important position is the state Controller. And the state

85
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: Controller has the power to audit every organization receiving state

86
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: money and to turn off the supply of money literally

87
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: to stop the money flowing. And there's a fantastic guy

88
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: called Herb Morgan running with me. We're working very closely together.

89
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: If you know, we can really change this big time

90
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: if we're elected this year.

91
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: Okay, last hour, I saw that this moron, Eric Swolwell

92
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 3: is right now potentially going to be favored as the Democrat.

93
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'll have to do if you

94
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 3: were running against Alex Eric Swalwell, but there has to

95
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 3: be forty IQ points at least that separate you from

96
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: Eric Swalwell. I want to put out the call up

97
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: and down with the breadth of California right now. The

98
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 3: election is when when can people start voting for you?

99
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: And I think again a lot of people don't understand

100
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 3: this California has. I think it's called a jungle primary. Right,

101
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: we're the top two regardless of party advance. So explain

102
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 3: all the rules, tell people how to vote. What do

103
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: they need to know, because we are getting close to

104
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: ballots being headed out.

105
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: Exactly right, Clay, thank you. Listen, this top two system

106
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: is ridiculous. Obviously we should get rid of it. Book

107
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: we got it, and so we got to play by

108
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: these rules. For the last year or so, you've seen

109
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: a kind of clown car situation on the Democrat side,

110
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: nine or ten candidates, none of all of them incredibly

111
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: unimpressive machine politicians and hacks and ridiculous people, and they've

112
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: been dividing up the vote. And as a result of that,

113
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: in a lot of these polls, I've been leading and

114
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: there's one other Republican who will get to in a second.

115
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: Often that we've been the top two. But I said

116
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: all along it's not going to stay that way because

117
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: the Democrat machine is going to get behind one of

118
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 2: their candids. The unions, in particularly the government unions, they

119
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: will want their puppet that they control, and that is

120
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: what is happening right now, and that's why you're seeing

121
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: Eric Swolwell move up and up. And I think that

122
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: that will continue. The big unions are going to be

123
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 2: endorsing in the next few weeks. The teachers, the SCIU,

124
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: the Nancy Pelosi machine is going to get behind him,

125
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 2: I think, and so I think you're going to see

126
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: him really advance now. Right now, as of this morning,

127
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: the Real Clear Politics average of all the polls in California,

128
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 2: there's a bunch of these Democrats below seven percent. You've

129
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: got Katie Porter at ten percent. You've got Tom Steyer

130
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: and the other Republican Chad Bianco at eleven percent, Eric

131
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: Swollwell at thirteen, and I'm on fifteen and a half.

132
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: So that's the good news. On the average, I'm still ahead.

133
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: But you're right. There was a poll this week first

134
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: time that showed Eric Swollwell in the lead, a real pole.

135
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: It was a proper serious pole, and so we got

136
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: to take this seriously. The election is June, the second

137
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: ballots go out May the second. We're really weeks away

138
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: now from this election kicking off. The most important thing

139
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: to understand is that if we split the Republican vote,

140
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: it's not only that you're going to get Eric Swowell.

141
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: You're probably going to get Eric Swowell and Tom Steyer,

142
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: the billionaire climate fanatic. He has already spent seventy million

143
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: dollars just in the last few weeks, a few months,

144
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: and that's moving him up in the polls. And because

145
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: of this top two system, you don't need a huge

146
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: percentage to make it into the general election because there's

147
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: so many candidates. So I can see a situation where

148
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: we've got, you know, like, I don't know what to

149
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: even make of that Stier versus Swallow, what a joke.

150
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: But if you get behind one Republican candidate and I'm

151
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: the leading Republican and there's a lot of issues with

152
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: the other guy, Chad Bianco, he took a knee for BLM,

153
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: he says crazy things on immigration. He's basically for amnesty

154
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: on immigration, you can't have him. And so this is

155
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: the moment for every Republican to get serious about this.

156
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: Get behind the leading Republican candidate, and then I will

157
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: be guaranteed to be in the top two, because that's

158
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: how the math will work. And then it's a whole

159
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: new fight and we'll take it to whoever the Democrats

160
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 2: put up.

161
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: Speaking of Steve Hilton, he's running for governor and he's

162
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: telling us all about how this race is critical but

163
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: also winnable in his estimation in his maths and steven

164
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: to that end, I saw a lot of people are

165
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: focused in on gas prices right now for obvious reasons.

166
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: But your state is always the punching bag. It's you

167
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: know it for the rest of the country of you

168
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: see how high the gas prices are there. So yes,

169
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: Iran has everyone oh my gosh, what are gas prices

170
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: going to do? I think it's going to be fine,

171
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: by the way, but everyone's a little freaked out.

172
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: Uh.

173
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: And then in California it's, well, your gas price is

174
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: it's like there's always an oil embargo somewhere because California's

175
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: gas prices are crazy. You recently said to gas execs,

176
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: don't give up on the state of California. I don't

177
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: even think people realize that California has an oil and

178
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: gas industry. Can you speak to that a bit? And

179
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: what you're hoping could happen if you become governor.

180
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: It's an amazing situation. Again, just the lunacy of these

181
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: democrat ideologues, these climate fanatics incredible. First of all, let's

182
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: look at the numbers. So the temporary spike, and it's

183
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: obviously temporary. Everyone knows that. In the gas price since

184
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 2: the Iran War, which is what about fifty cents average nationwide?

185
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: Right in California, you look at the average, it's two

186
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: dollars high the rest of the country. Such a very

187
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,599
Speaker 2: simple way of putting it, gavin you. Some of the

188
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: Democrats are four times as destructive as war in the

189
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: Middle East for California's when it comes to gas. The

190
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: point about California is we have abundant oil and gas

191
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: reserves in our state, mainly in Kern County, but now

192
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: huge reserve has been discovered in California. Right, I'm sure

193
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: there's a there's a reserve there which is considered to

194
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 2: be the second biggest in America, the niche behind the

195
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: Permian Basin. We have massive oil and gas reserves right now,

196
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 2: and we are importing in California nearly eighty percent of

197
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: the oil that we use. It used to be the opposite.

198
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: Most of our oil and gas we produced in state.

199
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: So what are these insane democrats now doing in the

200
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: name of climate They are shipping oil halfway round the

201
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: world on giant super tankers, spewing out carbon emissions because

202
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: they think it's part of their war on fossil fuels.

203
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: We're not using any less fossil fuel in California, we're

204
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: just importing it. It's insane, and that's the reason that

205
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 2: the refineries are closing down. Because the refineries were built

206
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 2: to refine California crude. The supply of that has been

207
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: dropping year by year with their war on the industry

208
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 2: here in California. Now the insane situe. I'm just with

209
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: a group of energy industry folks this morning, and now

210
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: there's even the insane situation that the small amount that

211
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: we're relatively that we're now producing, it used to go

212
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 2: in pipelines from Kern County to the refineries in the

213
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: Bay Area and in Near La. One of those refineries

214
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: has now one of those pipelines has now shut down

215
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: because there's not enough oil to justify the business. So

216
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: now what's happening. The remainder that we're producing is going

217
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: on trucks, so they again in the name of climate,

218
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: instead of a nice clean pipeline, we're now trucking it.

219
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: It's so insane. Now, as governor, I could reverse all

220
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: of that because it's all being done through these bureaucratic

221
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: agencies CARB, the California Air Resources Board, the Energy Commission, CALGEM,

222
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 2: the Geologic and Energy Management Agency, and it's very straightforward.

223
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: As governor, I will end the war on fossil fuels

224
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: as long as we are using oil and gas in California.

225
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 2: We're going to use California oil and gas. That will

226
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: keep the refineries open, bring down the cost of import,

227
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,359
Speaker 2: and we're going to get to three dollar gas in California.

228
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: That's the first pledge I made on the campaign trip.

229
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 3: I think this is so important and why I think

230
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 3: again everybody out there listening to us right now needs

231
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: to go vote for you and get you into the

232
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: final two. Buck and I have talked a lot about

233
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 3: the legacy of California. You grew up in England, Brut

234
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 3: grew up in New York. I grew up in Tennessee.

235
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 3: I remember the first time I ever got to go

236
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: to California. I was twenty one years old. I think

237
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 3: I had a college roommate from California. I went to

238
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 3: go visit, and I was so excited to step foot

239
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:38,239
Speaker 3: on soil in California because of the legacy of awesomeness

240
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: that we had grown up with buckets, talked about this

241
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 3: in New York. California, this golden shining state on a hill.

242
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: It's lost. You could help to return that. But I

243
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: think your experience growing up and what California meant to

244
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 3: you still can resonate with so many Californians.

245
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: On one hundred percent, Claire, I love the way you

246
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 2: put that. Look, the California dream is a real thing.

247
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: You know this, and it was in my imagination too,

248
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: like even before we moved here with my wife and

249
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: my sons, you know, whenever it was twenty twelve, we

250
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: moved here back in the day. I mean, people know

251
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: me from Fox obviously, but you know, most of my

252
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: career has been in business, and I worked for a

253
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: while in the government in the UK for David Cameron,

254
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: and when I was put in together the policy plan

255
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: before he became Prime Minister in twenty ten, one of

256
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: the Spectator magazine in the UK wrote a piece about me.

257
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 2: This is like twenty odd years ago, and they said,

258
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: and the title of the piece was a cover story

259
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: California Dreaming, and the theme of it was Steve Hilton,

260
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: David Cameron's policy guru wants to make the US inspired

261
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: by California, wants to make the UK more like California. Well,

262
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: who would want to do that today? I mean, that's

263
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 2: how far we've fallen. But the point is that that

264
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: idea of California. Sometimes I put it like this, California

265
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 2: means to America, what America means to the world. It

266
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: represents all the great virtues and beauty of our nation,

267
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: optimism and energy and dynamism and the kind of rebel

268
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: spirit and doing your own thing that's been crushed by

269
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 2: these years of bureaucratic, bloated, nanny state, bureaucratic government, and

270
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: the taxes and the spending and the bloat and the

271
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: waste and the regulations crushing the soul and spirit of California.

272
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: But it won't take much to really get back to

273
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: that beautiful California dream, because we've just got to stop

274
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: the government from doing all these insane things, and then

275
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: people and entrepreneurs will take care of the rest of it.

276
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: Steve, bring home the w in this governor's race, and

277
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: don't touch that beard, all right, all right, you got it,

278
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: seod Man, good Man, thanks for being with us. The

279
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: sirens and Israel went off all night Wednesday and the

280
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: Thursday morning. The same thing happened again last night, between

281
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: your ons drone attacks and Hesbelo's missile attacks. The population

282
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: of Israel's on high alert. Tens of thousands of them

283
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: are spending hours a day in protective momb shelters. This

284
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: is such a foreign concept to many of us here

285
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: in the States. Go into a bomb shelter in fear

286
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: of your life as competent as the IDF is, and

287
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: how will Israel protect its citizens? There are no guarantees.

288
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: That's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews are

289
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: there on the ground, bringing food, emergency equipment, care for children,

290
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: and help for the elderly, and supplying bomb shelters and

291
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: medical centers with critically needed essentials. This is the time

292
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: we stand with the Jewish population in Israel, just like

293
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: we'll stand by them in our nation. If you can

294
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,320

306
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 3: to happen, but I do want to share the way

307
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: that the attack on the synagogue in Michigan is being covered.

308

Speaker 1: This is ABC News.

309
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: Have you seen this headline yet? The mayor of Dearborn

310
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: Heights said the suspect involved in the shooting and vehicle

311
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: ramming attack at a Detroit area synagogue quote had lost

312
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: several members of his own family in an Israeli attack

313
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 3: on their home in Lebanon. They are justifying a terror

314
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: attack based on what happened to this guy allegedly and

315
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 3: his family in Lebanon. He decided that he was just

316
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: going to randomly attack a synagogue in America. And my

317
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: question for everybody out there is, maybe I've missed all

318
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 3: the people who had Jewish relatives that were murdered on

319
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: October seventh and just drove cars loaded with explosives into mosques,

320
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: or maybe that's happening all the time. Obviously this is ridiculous,

321
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: but understand the framing that we're going to get.

322
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: The media is so deeply, deeply indoctrinated with this stuff

323
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: that it's really hard to get them to think about

324
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: things in any other way. They view this all as ultimately,

325
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: first and foremost racial. They even view the Islam and

326
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: Judaism thing as racial, not religious, because they have that's

327
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 1: the framework that are politics, and the left in America

328
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: puts things through first and foremost, and so Clay, there's

329
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: no reasoning with them. It's these were brown people that

330
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: did these two attacks, these two terror attacks, actually the

331
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: three well, one guy was black. These are brown people

332
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: that these two terror attacks. Have to find a way

333
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: to be as sympathetic as possible to the attacker.

334
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 2: Here.

335
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: That's the media's attitude about it, because brown people are

336
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: victims as long as they're attacking non brown people. And

337
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: that's essentially the way that they view all of this all. Right,

338
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: Precious metals are us that precious and inlimited quantity. Silver

339
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: and gold topped the list of these metals, and for

340
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: all the conversation about gold and its value, more and

341
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: more Americans are saying you know what, it's time to

342
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: get into silver over gold as their introduction to owning medals.

343
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: The value of silver increase ready for this one hundred

344
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: and fifty percent plus over the last twelve months. Birch

345

Speaker 1: ninety eight ninety eight. Today, welcome back in here to

356
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: play and Buck. We had quite a good chat there

357
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: with our friend Steve Holton about what's going on in

358
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: calif Or. We wanted to talk a bit here about

359
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: the aftermath of these two terror attacks that happened, both

360
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: of them with Jie hottist intent. I think that's pretty clear,

361
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: although some of the media don't know. We may never

362
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: know them. We may never know the real motive. This

363
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: is now beyond parody. When you have these news anchors.

364
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: Who's some guy you know, his name could be Mohammed

365
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: Mohammad wearing an iHeart isis T shirt. Can you run

366
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: into some place start shooting, yelling Alahu walk bar. He

367
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: could have written out a long confession beforehand, saying I'm

368
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: doing this on behalf of the Islamic State. You'll still

369
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: have a CNN anchor who will pop up and be like,

370
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 1: but can we really know? Can we really know the

371
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: motive behind this? And if it gets too tough for

372
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: them eventually, what they'll start doing is running panel discussions

373
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: about how the Islamic State is not Islamic. You know

374
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: that That's the other thing they like to do. This

375
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: is this has nothing to do with Islam, Like, well,

376
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: these guys seem to think it does. So there's that

377
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: this is a common We went through this clay in

378
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: the whole Gwatt era, which was really the Bush and

379
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: Obama years, predominantly eight years of Bush, eight years of Obama,

380
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: where we just had this was the argument always all

381
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: the time, and you had Democrats bending over backwards, bending

382
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: over backwards, to make sure that no one actually thought

383
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: there was any connection between Islamic terrorism and Islamic anything. Remember,

384
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: the Obama administration tried to change the GWATT, which is

385
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: what we still call it now those of us who remember,

386
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: which was the Global War on Terror, which was a

387
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: bushism they wanted to call it. I don't remember the

388
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: full acronym, but it was something like overseas contingency operations

389
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: against ideological extremists, and it really was something like that.

390
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: It was some absurd you know. The acronym was like

391
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: abaca jabber or something, and it was really long and

392
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: was like, we're not going to do that. Remember also,

393
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: Obama wanted to call it ISL instead of ISIS. Everyone

394
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: calls it ISIS now that Obama's always icele, it's IL.

395
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: We went through all this kind of nonsense. We understand

396
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: what's going on here. We understand why these people are

397
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: attacking in terms of what their ideology is and what

398
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: their worldview is, and there's going to be more of this.

399
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: What we are seeing though, is vigilance, taking security in

400
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: your own hands, acting quickly, getting off the X, you know, intervening,

401
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: taking action can make it huge, can make a huge difference,

402
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: and in the case of the synagogue, no good guy casualties.

403
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 3: So we know five attackers so far, if I'm not mistaken, right,

404
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: five different Muslim fundamentalist terror attackers. Two in New York City,

405
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: one in Austin, one in Virginia, and one in in

406
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: the Detroit area. Here's a question for you, Buck, five

407
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: have acted. What is the number of people you think

408
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 3: that are either susceptible or willing to engage in acts

409
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: of violence that are currently in this country. This is

410
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 3: what I spend a lot of time thinking about, because

411
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 3: everything is a probabilistic analysis. Mostly these are.

412
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: Going to be young men.

413
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 3: Mostly these are going to be young men without families, right,

414
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 3: that have been polluted by the idea that the best

415
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: thing they can do is give up their life in

416
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: a jee hottest attack. There's five we know in just

417
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 3: the last two weeks. Is it a thousand, is it

418
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 3: two thousand? Is it six thousand? How many people do

419
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 3: you think in America right now are willing on some

420
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: level to do this if the situation arises.

421
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: Having worked during a heightened time of Islamic extremism in

422
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: one of those offices, Clay and obviously the biggest one,

423
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: which was New York. You're at a minimum right now.

424
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: I would assume that the FBI, elements of DHS, state

425
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: police that have counter terrorism elements, of fusion centers. You're

426
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: talking about hundreds of cases where the people who are

427
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: close to it are saying, this could go off at

428
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, this could be action at any moment. It could.

429
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: It could become an actionable plot. And if they haven't

430
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: gotten them on a criminal on some kind of a

431
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: criminal violation before, the best they can do is just

432
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: keep eyes on. That's where we are, by the way,

433
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: I said at least hundreds. It could be in the

434
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: low thousands, but that's where we are. Okay, So that's interesting.

435
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: Here's the second question for you. We know, unfortunately, in

436
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: two different circumstances, suicide's cluster because people see this is

437
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: awful for people out there who have teenagers, particularly if

438
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 1: one kid commits suicide. Unfortunately, there are often echoes of

439
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: that suicidal act because it puts in people's minds the

440
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: idea of following through.

441
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: This is data. This is what it shows. Unfortunately, when

442
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: we see school shootings, there are often cluster impacts from

443
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: those school shootings because people who are of unsound mind

444
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,239
Speaker 3: or potentially susceptible to acting, are more likely to do it.

445
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: Buck, are you afraid?

446
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 3: Similarly, now that we've had five different jihattis to act

447
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 3: out that even people out there that are on the

448
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 3: fringe of whether or not to do this become more

449
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 3: likely to act because they see this having happened. Is

450
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: that a thing where when you see, like with suicide

451
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: and with copy.

452
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: Shooting act, is that basically it's like a copycat Yeah,

453
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: of course. And also you get people who see this, uh,

454
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: these actions and based upon you got to remember, they're

455
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: playing to a very different audience, if you will, sort

456
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: of in a way, in a manner of speaking, than

457
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: the rest of us. You know, they'll see and they'll

458
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: be familiar with some you know, gi hotti chat rooms

459
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: things like that, uh signal chats, I mean things that

460
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: are I think maybe they use teleg more so. I

461
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: don't know where the gihaties are hanging out these days.

462
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: I'm not in that game anymore of surveilling them. But

463
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: they have online communications and they want to see, especially

464
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: from a hardliner's overseas, praise for these attacks, and then

465
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: that's an encouragement to them as well, because they're bought

466
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: into this idea that they are they are warriors for

467
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: a righteous cause and that they become martyrs. Actually that's

468
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: the most glorious thing that can happen to them. So yeah,

469
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: we're likely to see more of this, It's impossible to

470
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: say how much more. And really what you're hoping for

471
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: is the situations that we've seen so far. And I

472
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: know we saw a major loss of life that's terrible,

473
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: and you know his family, you know, have now had

474
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: that that horrific, that horrific situation fall upon them. But

475
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: these are small scale attacks. If you're looking at casualty figures.

476
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: If if you can keep it small, you're doing a

477
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: pretty good job because you're not going to be able

478
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: to stop them all, you're not going to be able

479
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: to find them all before they act. If you can

480
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: manage to prevent this from becoming an attack where you know,

481
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: dozens of people are killed, scores are maimed and wounded,

482
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: and that's what we're going to be fighting against now.

483
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: Because also any jihadi watching what's going on knows Iran

484
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: and Ron's got nothing to hit us back with militarily.

485
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: So the only payback if you will from people who

486
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: are sympathetic to the MOLAS is going to be through

487
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: some kind of a terrorist deck. So you got this

488
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: guy at Old Dominion. This this is crazy, Clay, I

489
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: don't think we mentioned this. He this is the Old

490
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: Dominion shooter. His name was was Mohammed by Lord Jaloh

491
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: guy's name is Mohammed shack cut number five. Here here

492
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: he is rather, here is the identification by the FBI

493
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: of this guy, saying that he was arrested in twenty

494
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: sixteen for report and pleaded guilty to provide material support

495
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: to ISIS play five.

496
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 5: FBI is now the lead investigative agency investigating this as

497
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 5: an act of terrorism. The shooter has been identified as

498
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 5: Mohammed Baylor Jallo. In twenty sixteen, Jallo was arrested and

499
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 5: pled guilty for attempting to provide material support to ISLE

500
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 5: now known as ISIS. Jaalo was sentenced to prison in

501
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 5: October twenty seventeen and was released from prison in twenty

502
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 5: twenty four.

503
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: Clay, this guy was released. He wanted to give He

504
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: was trying to plot a mass casualty attack years ago

505
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: against Americans. And now we find out that this guy

506
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: got released apparently got released early. That's what I read

507
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: at least, And you have to wonder why are these

508
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 1: people in the country in the first.

509
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry, why are we releasing people who are

510
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: pled guilty or found guilty of terrorist sympathy in the

511
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 3: United States early? How are we not immediately denaturalizing And again,

512
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 3: I am not an expert in immigration law, but maybe

513
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 3: we need to focus more on if you're arrested for

514
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: terrorism in this country and you have previously been granted citizenship,

515
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: maybe we need to re examine whether you should be

516
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 3: allowed to stay in the country.

517
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just gonna toss that out there. And

518
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: one of these guys, sorry he out early, buck. One

519
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: of these guys was a naturalized citizen. I don't that

520
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: was actually the other Jihati terrorist. I think this guy

521
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm getting them. Let me see this guy. This guy

522
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: actually served in the Was he in the National Guard? Yeah?

523
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: This guy was a Yeah, he served time in federal prison,

524
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: early release, member of the Virginia Nation, former Margenia former

525
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: member of the Virginia National Guard. And oh no, yeah, no, sorry, yeah,

526
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: he's a naturalized Yes, sorry, I'm right, he's a naturalized

527
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: US citizen from Sierra Leon. The other guy is was

528
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: born in Lebanon. So we got foreigners for it's apparently

529
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: not that hard to become an American. You got these

530
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: foreigners who hate America, who want to kill Americans and

531
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: plot terror attacks here that we're making Americans, we're really

532
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: doing that.

533
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: We need to examine how we are giving citizenship. And

534
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: if you are convicted of providing terroristic support for terrorists

535
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: and you were at some point naturalized, maybe we should

536
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 3: go back and re examine the process by which you

537
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: became a citizen. Just an idea that seems very rational

538
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: to me who was opposed to this. We'll talk about this.

539

Speaker 3: We'll take your calls to your talkbacks as well. Friday Edition.

568
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: through the Friday edition of the program and a lot

569
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: of you weighing in on a variety of different topics

570
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 3: out there, and we want to make sure you get

571
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 3: as many talkbacks as possible. I also want to tell

572
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: you Crockett coffee. Crockett coffee is the greatest coffee that

573
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 3: has ever existed in the history of the universe if

574
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 3: you love American history. Named after Davy Crockett, legendary Tennesseean

575
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 3: who moved to Texas and also became legendary there, and

576
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,239
Speaker 3: he died at the Almo. Just recently they had the

577
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: March sixth anniversary of the Alamo falling in Texas. We're

578
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 3: going to be going to the Alamo here soon and

579
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: we look forward to it. But Buck we come back

580
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 3: at the top of the next hour. I want to

581
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 3: kind of set the table here for a story that

582
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: I think is really supremely significant, and that is the

583
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 3: fleeing from high tax states to low tax states from

584
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 3: people with income who are able to do it. And

585
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: I want to set the table here Washington, and this

586
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: is going on across the country in blue states. Washington

587
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 3: State is saying that they are now going to tax

588
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 3: anyone that makes a million dollars or more at nine

589
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 3: point nine percent.

590
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: What does that do? Buck?

591
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 3: We mentioned this on the air, but I think it's significant.

592
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 3: Howard Schultz, who is the founder of Starbucks, he is

593
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: the coffee company you just started me talking about Crockett,

594
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 3: probably the most successful coffee entrepreneur in the history of

595
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: the world. He's moving to Miami. You also have Jeff

596
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 3: Bezos who left Seattle and moved to Miami, both because

597
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: of the tax situation in Washington state, And Buck, do

598
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 3: you know this story? I actually think the entrepreneurial story

599
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 3: of Jeff Bezos is a fascinating one. One reason why

600
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 3: Bezos decided to make Amazon based in Washington was because

601
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 3: it was a low tax state. And that's a little

602
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: bit surprising to some people because you think of the

603
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 3: West Coast and you think of California high tax, you

604
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: think of Oregon as high tax. Washington was a very

605
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: low tax state, and so Jeff Bezos went across the

606
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: country started Amazon in Seattle. Would you agree with me

607
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: on this, Buck, The three biggest companies, maybe there's four

608
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 3: that people think of off the top of their heads

609
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 3: when they think of Washington State an entrepreneurial success. I

610
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: would say, you think of Amazon, you think of Microsoft,

611
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: you think of Starbucks. Maybe you also think of Boeing.

612
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 3: I would say, maybe that's the four that come to

613
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: mind immediately. I know there are others, but those that

614
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 3: come to mind immediately. It feels pretty significant to me

615
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 3: that both Jeff Bezos and Howard Schultz have decided we

616
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 3: can't live here anymore, and so they have decided to

617
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: move from Washington to Miami. Also simultaneously, Zoron Mamdani is

618
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: proposing that if you live in New York City and

619
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: you die, you have to pay a fifty percent city

620
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 3: state estate tax buck at seven hundred and fifty k

621
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: in income. Now, they're also saying that they want to

622
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 3: have a huge mansion tax on anyone who buys a

623
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 3: property for five hundred k or more in New York City.

624
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 3: You know this better than most. What does a five

625
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 3: hundred k property? That is that that sounds like a

626
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 3: lot maybe to some people in different parts of the country.

627
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: What do you you get for five hundred k in

628
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 3: New York City?

629
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: It's incredible, Actually, it's like a marvel of engineering. Five

630
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in Manhattan will get you three hundred

631
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: square feet where you can sleep, shower, and cook without

632
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: actually moving. It's like you're in a little pod. It's

633
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: like a bed with a showerhead above it and a

634
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: toilet that you roll over to. That's what five hundred

635
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: thousand dollars gets you in Manhattan. Unfortunately, it is rough.

636
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 3: So the idea they're calling this a mansion tax. First

637
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 3: of all, I think the average home in America now

638
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 3: is four hundred and fifty K. Team, will you look

639
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 3: that up nationwide? I know it varies depending on where

640
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 3: you live, but I think the average home cost in

641
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 3: America now is somewhere in the neighborhood of five hundred

642
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 3: and fifty k. That's the average. I know people buy

643
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 3: more or less, but I think the average. So even

644
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 3: calling it a mansion tax nationwide would not reflect what

645
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 3: reality actually is. I think there's a lot of you

646
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 3: that live in homes that cost four hundred thousand dollars

647
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 3: and you're like, five hundred thousand dollars.

648
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: This is not a mansion New York City.

649
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 3: What Buck just said about what you get for five

650
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 3: hundred k is basically a closet and for them to

651
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 3: be taxing the people that have the ability to make

652
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 3: money in New York City, I don't understand why anybody

653
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 3: would stay. And we're going to hit this in earnest

654
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: because I do think it's a big story and I

655
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 3: think it is transforming much of the country as highly

656
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 3: successful people in blue cities and states are finally done

657
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: with what they see coming get out while you can,

658
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of the richest and smartest

659
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 3: people are getting out while they can. We'll talk about

660
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 3: that when we come back. We'll take more of your talkbacks.

661
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 3: Thank you for hanging out with us. Fourteen hours up,

662
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 3: fifteenth hour, Next of the week on Klayan Buck
