Yes, like me, he will probably. 22 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: People always ask me how often you get to the beach. 23 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, I cannot remember the last time I went 24 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: to the beach here, even though I live a mile away. 25 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 2: We got big news. Let's get into it. 26 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you gotta start the show with a 27 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: baby because it's fun and he's so cute and I. 28 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: Have to help babysit. So here we are. 29 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: We've got let's see how the Stephen Miller press briefing 30 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:20,839 Speaker 1: this morning was absolutely fantastic. Really impressed with what Stephen 31 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: Miller was doing. What he had to say, it was 32 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: excellent stuff. We'll give you some of the highlights of that. Also, 33 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: more on Abrego Garcia. There's more information. Fox News has additional, 34 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: let's say, background on this fellow that they have turned 35 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: into a cause for the Democrats, their new hero, Sir 36 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: Abrego Garcia. Something a little bit on the unfortunate side 37 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: of things. Mike Waltz is out as National Security Advisor, 38 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: so our first senior level departure from the Trump administration. 39 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: It lasted one hundred days. But Mike Wallace a couple 40 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: of I think one of his top aides already going 41 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: with him. There may be others as well. We can 42 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: discuss what happened there, but I think that there were 43 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: a number of issues that led to this change in personnel. Also, 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: Donald Trump last night called in on News Nation and 45 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: said Clay that he thinks Steven A. Smith should run 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: for president. That was an interesting side note. 47 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: If Stephen A. 48 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: Smith is the Democrat nominee, I might have to run 49 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: for president as the Republican and just like slay him 50 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: in every debate. I mean, I'm just going to toss 51 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: that out there, because I can't let him be the 52 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: sports media guy running for president all by himself, right, 53 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I would have to step up 54 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: and run against him. We've got all that more from 55 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: that Cuomo town hall with Trump, O'Reilly, some others, some 56 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: interesting interesting soundbites we want to share with you. On 57 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: all of that, Trump has addressed the investments going on 58 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: in America, which I also think we will spend some 59 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: time on. But let's start with this one. They said 60 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 1: they've done this thing now where they're having mourning press conference. 61 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: I think this makes so much sense. I'm surprised, actually 62 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: this hasn't been done sooner, This hasn't been the standard 63 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: for a longer period of time, because, yeah, this lets 64 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: them set the agenda. This lets them get out there 65 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: and tell everybody This is where the White House is 66 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: on this issue. They don't have to respond in the 67 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: same way to the morning news cycle of the opposition media. 68 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: They get to say, here's what we are focused on. 69 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: Oh we saw that report. Before you run another one, 70 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: we are telling you what actually happened, or before you 71 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: run another fake news piece. Here is the background. You 72 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: need to maybe print a correction or a retraction, whatever 73 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: it may be. But today's morning briefing was about common sense. 74 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: This is cut to Caroline leve At, the White House 75 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: Press Secretary, laying out the overview before she handed it 76 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: over to Steven Miller. 77 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 2: Plays. 78 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: Everything in President Trump's agenda is grounded in one thing, 79 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 3: common sense. While the Democrat Party went off the deep 80 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: end and doubled down on pure craziness, President Trump pledged 81 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: to restore common sense back to the United States of 82 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: America in a little more than three months. That's exactly 83 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 3: what he's done. He recognized that America is a sovereign 84 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 3: nation that cannot survive if it does not protect its 85 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 3: territorial borders. President knows his top responsibility is ensuring the 86 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 3: safety of the American people, which is why he's arresting 87 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: violent illegal alien invaders in our communities who threaten our 88 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: public safety. And it's unacceptable to President Trump to allow 89 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: rampant waste, fraud, and abuse of Americans precist tax dollars, 90 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: which is why the President championed a historic Doge effort 91 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 3: that saved nearly two hundred billion already. President Trump stood 92 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 3: up for the Constitution's promise of colorblind equality before the law. 93 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: So he terminated radical DEI preferencing and federal contracting and 94 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 3: directed federal agencies to relentlessly co that private sector discrimination. 95 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: Clay common sense is actually, if you have to find 96 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: one principle or one theme where Democrats are just on 97 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: perpetual defense and Republicans can continue to just stomp them 98 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: into oblivion, they lack common sense. 99 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: It is I think. 100 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: As we come out of one hundred days, one of 101 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: the clarion calls of the first hundred days has been 102 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: trying to come up with an argument that Democrats have 103 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: against what Trump has done. And if you notice, yesterday 104 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: I referred to it as sort of a drunken, flailing argument. 105 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: They can't keep the focus on anything. I'll give you 106 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: an example right here. As we sit one hundred and 107 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: two days out. Did you know Buck that stocks actually 108 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: ended up higher at the end of April than they 109 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: were at the beginning of April. That is, after all 110 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: that chaos where they said, oh my goodness, look at 111 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: where the stock market is, and we tried to say, hey, 112 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: stay calm, don't overreact, recognize that there is a plan 113 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: in place. If you bought the dip, you have now 114 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: made ten percent on the dip alone. And in the 115 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: past year, as I am looking at the S and 116 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: P five hundred, stocks are up twelve percent. On average, 117 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: stocks are going to be up eight or nine percent. 118 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: So in the last year you've actually done better than 119 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: you would over the historic average. And if you're saying, okay, 120 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: well what about clay compared to where they were in 121 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: January or February, Okay, they're down from January or February, 122 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: as stocks sometimes are, but they're almost identical to where 123 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: they were at the beginning of November last year. And 124 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: if seven months ago you didn't feel like you were 125 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: incredibly poor and your family finances were completely lost, then 126 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: you're basically the same place you were seven months ago. 127 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: Stock's ebb and flow. If you bought the dip, you've 128 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: actually made a lot more so they left behind the 129 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: stock market as it's come back up substantially buck and 130 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: they went to what they went to a Braille Garcia 131 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: and El salvadoran gang member that we now know has 132 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: multiple different reports in the state of Maryland, including one 133 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: where his girlfriend at the time I think now wife 134 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: said he's threatened to kill her and she needs protection 135 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: from the state and told her that he could kill 136 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: her and get away with it. Yes, which sounds like 137 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: something that a hardened gang member would say to me. 138 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: I don't know many people that I. 139 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: Make that most people wouldn't know how to dispose of 140 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: a body and get away with a murder. But also 141 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: it is indicative I think of how desperate and deluded 142 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: the attempt to make him the front facing opposition to 143 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: the deportation crisis has been that you would pick a 144 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: guy who has this demonstrated record of violence. I don't 145 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: know what percentage of men do you think have threatened 146 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: to kill their wives and dispose of their bodies and 147 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: get away with it. I have maybe five percent to me, really, 148 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: you know, like it doesn't happen that often, and I 149 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: think probably there's women out there listening right now that 150 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: have been more likely to tell in a joking way 151 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: their husbands that they could kill them and distribute the 152 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: body and get away, like the number of men that 153 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: would have threatened their wives in a serious way that 154 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: would have made you fear for your life such that 155 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: you needed to go to the police and file a report, 156 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: letting everybody know, Hey, this guy's probably the person who's 157 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: gonna kill me. He's made this threat. I don't think 158 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: it's that common out there in husband wife relationships. And if, 159 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: by chance you are listening to me right now and 160 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: you have a husband that you are afraid might kill 161 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: you one day, I would suggest to you that's probably 162 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: not a healthy relationship and maybe you should be somewhere else, 163 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: or a boyfriend. 164 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 2: For that matter. 165 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: And I think this is just symptomatic of sort of 166 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: the drunken inconsistencies, jumping from one thing to another. I'm 167 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: not even sure what the opposition to Trump is. And 168 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: people say, okay, well, Trump's approval ratings after the first 169 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: one hundred days are not great. Well, what I would 170 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: say is, okay, tell me a Democrat who is within 171 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: fifteen or twenty points nationwide that has anywhere near the 172 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: approval of Trump. People in general, I think just don't 173 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,359 Speaker 1: like politicians. Right now, there's a generally speaking, an anti politician, 174 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: anti incumbent universe, and so I think the fact that 175 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: Trump is in that position right now is actually not 176 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: a sign of any incredible lack of strength from him. 177 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: I think it's just that Democrats haven't been able to 178 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: find any kind of opposition figure for him. And you 179 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: have Stephen Miller stepping in at this press conference, going 180 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: absolutely score sure earth and touching on a whole range 181 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: of issues. But this is one of my favorites because 182 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: these reporters, and this is true of Democrats so often, 183 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: these reporters pretend they care so much about Abrego Garcia 184 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: and his rights and everything else. But as Miller points out, 185 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: they don't want to live next to any suspected MS 186 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: thirteen illegal alien gang members. They want to go to 187 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: country clubs where nobody like this would even be allowed 188 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: to serve them food, right. They want to go to 189 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: places that are very exclusive. And yet here we are 190 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: watching them all pretend go through these motions like suddenly 191 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: they are all about the downtrodden and the downtrodden gang member. 192 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: Here's Steven Miller play three. 193 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: Each and every one of. 194 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 4: You that sides over and over again with these MS 195 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 4: thirteen terrafts should extentt that you at the financial means 196 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 4: to do so, you all choose to live in condos 197 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 4: or homes or houses as far away from these kinds 198 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 4: of gang bangers as you possibly can have. I offered 199 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 4: any one of you a rent free home with no 200 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 4: taxes to pay in any of these gang neighborhoods. And 201 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 4: I saidighbors or mster ting terrorists or Mexican mafia or 202 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 4: Sinaloa cartel or trained Iragua. 203 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: I couldn't pay you to live there. But yet you, 204 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: with your coverage. 205 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 4: Are trying to force innocent Americans to have these people 206 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 4: as their neighbors, and that one day their daughter may 207 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 4: be abducted from their home and raped and murdered. So 208 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 4: you're not going to get an ounce of sympathy from 209 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 4: this administration or President Trump for the terrorists who've invaded 210 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 4: our homes in our country. 211 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: Play. 212 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: It's true all these reporters, a lot of whom live 213 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: in you know, northern Virginia, right across the Potomac River. 214 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: You know, they live in condos in Balston or they 215 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: maybe have a place in Glover Park where they are 216 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: paying down the mortgage or whatever. They absolutely do not 217 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: want any gang members around them. It's somebody else's problem, 218 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: but they get to preen for the cameras. The number 219 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: of people who claim that walls don't work that live 220 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: in gated communities is off the charts. Oh yeah, I 221 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: mean just almost anybody who makes a significant living in 222 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: DC lives in to your point, northern Virginia where it's 223 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: comparatively safe, or southern Maryland in the Rock Creek area 224 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: that Montgomery County, right, or they live in super safe 225 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: parts of DC, often with security everywhere surrounding them. And 226 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: so it is the case that very often, and people 227 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: see through this, that the people who are having to 228 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: deal with day to day crime in their lives overwhelmingly 229 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: want more police insecurity. And then the people who have 230 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: absolutely no risk whatsoever in their day to day existence, 231 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: they somehow look at the people who want more police 232 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: insecurity and argue, oh, the police are too much of 233 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: a hindrance for you. Is the height Someone wrote this 234 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: and said this, and once you hear it or see it, 235 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: you cannot stop recognizing it. People on the left in 236 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: this country. They talk left and they live right. 237 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: Once you see it. 238 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: They get married, they have nuclear families, they have houses 239 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: in very safe suburbs. They put their kids in private schools, 240 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: and then they lecture everyone else about how they it's 241 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: fine to make decisions that are not beneficial. Have as 242 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: many kids as a single parent as you want. Oh, 243 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: don't worry about your school districts. The amount of lecturing 244 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: from people who don't live the way they lecture you 245 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: you should be comfortable with people living is off the charts. 246 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: Everybody in left wing media talks left and they live 247 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: right in their actual lives. 248 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: Think about it.

We have the 323 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: first reporters tell everybody. Also, I think visioned.

He's been replaced now in 343 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: his congressional seat. But he is now out, and I 344 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: wanted to to make sure that we played that audio reportedly. 345 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: I don't think it's officially official yet, but this is 346 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 1: our friend Dana Perino announcing this on America's news Room 347 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier today on Fox News. 348 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 6: All right, there's a breaking news that happened in the 349 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 6: commercial break. So what you're looking at a photograph right 350 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 6: now of Michael Waltz. He is the President's National Security Advisor, 351 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 6: except for we just got news that he is going 352 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 6: to be leaving the administration along with his deputy, Alex Wong. 353 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 6: Of course, if you might remember the story of Signal Gate. 354 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 6: I don't know if that's a particular reason, but there 355 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 6: was some consternation among some people about Mike waalt So 356 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 6: you might remember as a congressman, green Beret, a long, 357 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 6: long history and career in foreign policy. 358 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: All right, so Buck, you were formerly in the CIA. 359 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people don't really understand candidly 360 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: all of the different Foreign Affair Advisor universe appointees. What 361 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: is this job and what is the significance of someone 362 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: new just after one hundred days in this job? From 363 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 1: your perspective, well, it always depends with each administration how 364 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: much sway the National Security Advisor can have for a 365 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: president and how important he is. Right, you have people 366 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: who are at that Kissinger level. The first for the 367 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: genesis of the the NSC system was back in nineteen 368 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: fifty three, who became the President's Special Assistant for National 369 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: Security Affairs. Right, So there's been a history of this 370 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: for a while, the NSC system and the National Security Advisor. 371 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: That Robert Cutler, like I said, was the first one. 372 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: This situation though, as I see Clay with Waltz, you 373 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: get a couple of things, and I'm not sure which 374 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: holds more sway right now which was the bigger factor, 375 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 1: But you get two things going on. One, you had 376 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: signal Gate, which I know we shouldn't call it a 377 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: gate because it wasn't really as big a deal as 378 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 1: they were making it sound. 379 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: Trust me. 380 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: A few minutes before the Hoothy strikes happened, the Hoothies 381 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: were not about to be you know, hacking into this 382 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: chat and finding out where things were going and changing 383 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: it up. But nonetheless, you want to be careful about 384 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: your comms, and you want to have secure comms if 385 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: you're going to talk about things like that. But why 386 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: was Jeffrey Goldberg even this whole thing about who was 387 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: added to the chat? Well, what does that mean? I mean, 388 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: how would you add somebody that you don't know to 389 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: a chat? You would have to have their contact information? Okay, 390 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 1: So I think this is the It's one thing if like, 391 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: if I'm trying to text Clay and I'm making fun 392 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: of Jesse Kelly and Jesse, you know, for being too 393 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: tall or I don't know, maybe not having the most 394 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,120 Speaker 1: luxurious man have haired these days, and I accidentally text 395 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: Jesse at the same time, thus blowing myself up in 396 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: the process. Both of those guys are in my phone, 397 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: So that could happen, right if I had never texted Jesse, 398 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: I had no contact with in my life, But somehow 399 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: he was on that text where I'm talking smack. Well, 400 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: that makes no sense, and it made no sense when 401 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: Mike Watz was saying that initially. So I think that 402 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: got a lot of people, you know, They're like, well, 403 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: is this because Jeffrey Goldberger it's. 404 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: Not just a reporter. 405 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: He's a reporter who's written national security stories to destroy Trump, 406 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: to throw elections. I mean, he's he is as anti 407 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: Trump and the national security establishments you can be. So, 408 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: why is the national security advisor for Trump? You know, 409 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: in contact with him? That was the question that people 410 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: were looking at, right, Yes, yes, well I was just 411 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 1: going to say, to be fair, Trump just did an 412 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: interview with Jeffrey Goldberg, so. 413 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 2: Like and and. 414 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 1: I will say the one thing about Trump that I 415 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: find endearing and also sometimes crazy. There are probably many 416 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: things that you can point put in that category, but 417 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: he legitimately believes that anybody who hates him he can 418 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: convince they should like him, and continues to do interviews 419 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: with people who truly hate him. Well, well, yes, Trump 420 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: likes to stick his head in the lion's mouth, so 421 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: to speak. There's no question about that, and even tweets 422 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: about that. But the Jeffrey Goldberg think if Mike Waltz 423 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: command said, yeah, look, I like to try to push 424 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: back on the false narratives, and so I will discuss 425 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: with certain journalists who are oppositioned to the Trump agenda 426 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: why they're wrong. You know, I would have said, okay, fine, 427 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: but he said, oh no, somebody else added this guy. 428 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: I didn't add him, but I would never talk to him. 429 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: And it just it didn't make sense. Man, there was 430 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: something weird. But look, maybe that was nothing, and maybe 431 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: that has nothing to do with it. That's one component 432 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: of this. And I'll say this. I mean Mike Wallace, 433 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, is a patriot, a good guy. I like 434 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: Mike Waltz. I'm just trying to understand or trying to 435 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: surmise why he's no longer the National Security. 436 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 2: Advisor after one hundred days. 437 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: And the other one, though, is I think maybe the 438 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: bigger issue, which is more of the policy dispute level, 439 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: and that is that Waltz and I know this from 440 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: interviewing him, is very hawkish on US support to Ukraine 441 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: and very hawkish on US strikes against Iran to my recollection, 442 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: And there is a ascendant faction within the Trump national 443 00:23:55,040 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: security world, including Secretary of Defense Hegseth, who are cautious 444 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: and limited in their support for Ukraine and would rather 445 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: see US avoid a military strike and possible entanglement against 446 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: Iran by going after the reactors or backing Israel too 447 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: much in a strike it may do. And that's those 448 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: are big issues. And when you see those very differently, 449 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: the friction, I think clay can be a problem for 450 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: the people making the national security decisions. So those are 451 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: the two things that I see. Do you see it 452 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: that way? And is there a third? 453 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 2: No? I think you're right on that. 454 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: I would also add in that there have been people 455 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: who have believed that Waltz was not sufficiently die hard Trump. 456 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: If you go back through his history, there have been 457 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: talks that in twenty sixteen he wasn't officially enough on 458 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: the Trump train. Now, the reason why I would I 459 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: think you have to just kind of put that out 460 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: there on the discussion point. The reason why I would 461 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: discount it is Trump has proven time and again that 462 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: once you are on board the Trump train with him, 463 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: he is not a grudge guy. But I do think 464 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: there are people in his administration that are grudge guys 465 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: and gals that will constantly kind of come back if 466 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: there's tension over a current situation and try to reinforce Well, 467 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: you know, back in twenty eighteen, he did say this, 468 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: or he did say this in twenty sixteen, and so 469 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: I would also point this out. Buck Trump does not 470 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 1: want to give the media anything that the media wants. 471 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: He didn't act right after the signal event. He won't 472 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: give them Pete Hegseth's head on a platter, which is 473 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: what they seem to be demanding time after time after time. 474 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: I actually see this in some way as strengthening heg 475 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: Seth's hand, because there has been talk that these two 476 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: guys were at loggerheads at time. Over to your point, 477 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: what the response should be to Iran, And here's my look. Iran, 478 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: I think is going to be an issue for the 479 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: rest of all of our lives. I don't think miraculously 480 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: it's going to go back to nineteen seventy eight in Tehran, 481 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: when women could walk around in many skirts and heels, 482 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: and they were relatively as a Islam focused country, relatively modern. 483 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: I think at some point they are going to get 484 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon, and when they get a nuclear weapon, 485 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: we're never going to be able to do anything to 486 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: them again. Because that's why they want the nuclear weapon, 487 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: because it strengthens them domestically, but also internationally. It sends 488 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: the message of if you come after us, we can 489 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: really obliterate you. It's why Kim Jong un wants it. 490 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,360 Speaker 1: So I don't want war, but if there were a 491 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: way to ensure that Iran never got a nuclear weapon, 492 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: I think you have to listen to that argument, and 493 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: I'm skeptical that any sort of negotiation is going to 494 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: lead to Iran giving up that opportunity because the value 495 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: of having a nuclear weapon is so massive that if 496 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: I were Iranian and I were in some way involved 497 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: with the Iotola Komini, if we could make it the 498 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: Iotola Clay, Iotola Clay would want a nuclear weapon. And 499 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: we've talked about this with Ukraine Libya. You mentioned we 500 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: had this conversation a few weeks ago. Libya gave up 501 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. Kadafi was gone soon after Ukraine gave up 502 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. Russia has now invaded and taken away what 503 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: twenty percent of their overall territory. Kim Jong un wants them, 504 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: the Iotola wants them, because when you have nuclear weapons, 505 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: you basically create a situation where nobody can come and 506 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: try to overthrow you. And that's why I don't think 507 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: Iran is going to give this up. Whatever perspective you 508 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 1: want to adopt, attack or not attack, I don't think 509 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,719 Speaker 1: Iran is going to give up through negotiation their capability 510 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: to get nuclear weapons. It doesn't make sense to me. 511 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: I think it doesn't make sense to them. I'm very 512 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: skeptical that any negotiation is going to lead to a 513 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: result like that. So these are these are obviously weighty issues, 514 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: and that is why a deep philosophical disagreement among people 515 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking about in Trump's inner circle, not like between 516 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: the Democrats and the Republicans. That may be a part 517 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,239 Speaker 1: of what led to the change up here that has 518 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: been reported with Mike Waltz's departure as National Security Advisor. 519 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: I don't think that this will do what a Pete 520 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: Hegseth forced resignation would have done, which is feed the 521 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: piranhas and just make them want more in the media. 522 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: I think that this is a little more inside baseball 523 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: to the Trump team and what they need. 524 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 2: But I miss I. I wish Mike Waltz well, and I. 525 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: Think that Trump does too, and I'm sure he'll be 526 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: doing other other good stuff going forward. He gave up 527 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: that seat in Congress here in Florida, yeah, which is 528 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: now Randy Fines. 529 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 2: So I hope Randy Fine does a good job. 530 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: We'll see, and that's a tough position to be in 531 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: because as we can back, I mean three months in, 532 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: I presume he'll probably find a good job going forward. 533 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: But I imagine if he had known he was going 534 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: to be out in three months, I don't think he 535 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: would have given up that congressional seat. Look, we want 536 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: to let you all know out there a ton of rain. 537 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: In fact, the rain just started pouring down as I 538 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: was talking to you guys during the first break, went 539 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: downstairs and rain is pouring down here, rain and thunderstorms everywhere. 540 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: And you want clean gutters so you can have a 541 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: care free summer.

Appreciate all 559 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: of you hanging out with us. We've talked some about 560 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: one hundred days of Trump, and I did think Buck 561 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: this was interesting. Harry Inton, I believe on CNN was 562 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,719 Speaker 1: discussing something that I think is really important. So if 563 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: you're out there and you are a Trump voter, maybe 564 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: you have people in your life that are not Trump voters, 565 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: and after one hundred days, they're coming around saying, hey, 566 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 1: do you regret your vote? Now we know your answer 567 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: is no, but they may try to say, well, if 568 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: you say no, I don't regret my vote at all. 569 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: That's the way that I would vote if I could today. 570 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: As well, they may follow up by saying, well, you 571 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: may feel that way, but lots of Trump voters definitely 572 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: wish they had voted a different way. 573 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 2: This is an argument they try to make. Well. 574 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: CNN has a poll at one hundred days of Trump. 575 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: Who do you think would be doing a better job 576 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: right now? Trump or Kamala? And interestingly, Trump has a 577 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: little bit bigger of a margin now than he did 578 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: over Kamala in the twenty twenty four election. Let's listen 579 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: to Harry Inton break it down. 580 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 7: We asked the question our last CNN Paul, who'd be 581 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 7: doing a better job as president? 582 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 2: Guess who comes out on top within the margin? 583 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 8: Urper comes on top. 584 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: This looks a lot. 585 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 7: Like the election result, right Trump forty five percent, two 586 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 7: points ahead of Harris at forty three percent. It's not 587 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 7: just about regretting that vote, it's literally saying who would 588 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 7: be doing the better job right now? And Trump continues 589 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 7: to score a higher percentage of the vote and Kamala Harris. 590 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 7: This looks a heck of a lot like the election result. 591 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 7: We have just seen this in poll after poll after Paul. 592 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: I do think that's significant, and it's what I was asking. 593 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: Anytime somebody says, oh, Trump's got low poll numbers, say okay, 594 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: what democrat poll's better? And there is no answer because 595 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: there is no Democrat that is more popular than Trump, 596 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: where As there were certainly a lot of Democrats, uh 597 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: and Republicans when we were talking about during the Biden 598 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: are era that would have polled higher. So again, I 599 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: think I think that's significant. Yeah, and I think I 600 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: think Democrats are running into the problem that exists between 601 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: criticism and complaining. Right, criticism in politics is they're not 602 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: doing a good job. Comma, we would do the following, 603 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: which would be so much better. Right, broadly speaking, this 604 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: is how, this is how I break it down. You know, 605 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 1: Trump's economy is floundering because of ex er wa we 606 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: would do this, and you need someone making that case 607 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: who can get the attention to be listened to. They're 608 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: just complaining. They're just sitting. 609 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 2: Around going everything's terrible. You go, wait a second. 610 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: The border is certainly not terrible, and the economy is 611 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: not terrible either, despite what they're saying. So what exactly 612 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: is so awful? The deportation of illegal alien? Isn't it 613 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: an amazing abrego Garcia. No one denies that this guy 614 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 1: is in illegal so he should not be in America. 615 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: But I'm supposed to care so much that he's not 616 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: in America anymore? I don't care. I cannot be made 617 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: to care. I'm not going to weep over this. They 618 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: can weep and it won't change my mind. He's not 619 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: supposed to be here. He's not here, He's not my problem. 620 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: They just complain though, because they don't have an alternate 621 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: plan and they don't have a leadership to make the 622 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: case even if they did. 623 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 2: Yes. 624 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: And also, as the details continue to come out about 625 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: a Brao Garcia, what we told people over the last 626 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: couple of weeks that he was the worst front facing 627 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,839 Speaker 1: individual that they could have picked to be the opposition 628 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: figure to the Trump deportation process. We just keep getting 629 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 1: proven right more and more. His wife said that he 630 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 1: threatened to kill her and said that he if he 631 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: did it, he would get away with it. She has, 632 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: i believe six different times, gone to Maryland authorities and 633 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: asked for protection from him. This is not a good dude. 634 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: This is not a dude who should have been here. 635 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: There is ample evidence that he was a gang member, 636 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: There is ample evidence that he was human trafficking. There 637 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 1: is ample evidence that he was beating and threatening to 638 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 1: kill his girlfriend then wife. This guy should not be 639 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: in the country, and the country is actually safer without him. 640 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: VIP email Bert loved the phrase talks left lives right. 641 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: I think I'll use it instead of libousine liberal. Look 642 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: once you see this. I was talking about this earlier 643 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,680 Speaker 1: because Buck was pointing out the great take from Stephen 644 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: Miller calling out everyone in the press who was fine 645 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: with illegal violent predator immigrants in this country as long 646 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: as they weren't in their own neighborhoods in as long 647 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: as they didn't have to interact with them on a 648 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: regular basis, didn't have to deal with the threat or 649 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: the danger that they provide. This is left wing politics, 650 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: one oh one. It is in your own life. Make 651 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: decisions that people who are right leaning would make in general. 652 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: Get married before you have kids, move to the school 653 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: district where your kids could go to the best school, 654 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: or if that's not possible, potentially put them in private school. 655 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 1: Make decisions to live in very safe, often gated community 656 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: with private security in ample measure, and then simultaneously lecture 657 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: all of us and wag our fingers because we're asking 658 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: for more police support, or we're asking for more violent 659 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: predators to be removed from the country. You live in 660 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,200 Speaker 1: a place where that threat is not a existential reality, 661 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: and yet you feel compelled to lecture us for trying 662 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 1: to make the world safer. I always think the biggest 663 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 1: law of BLM was actually and there were many, and 664 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 1: the saddest result of BLM was there thousands of young 665 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 1: black kids dead because of BLM because the police were 666 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 1: not allowed to do their jobs, and the murder rate 667 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: skyrocketed overwhelmingly the kids, and oftentimes sadly they were young kids, 668 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 1: teenagers getting killed, were getting killed because police were not 669 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 1: able to do their job. Buck, you were talking about 670 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 1: the job you had with the MIPD. I wanted to 671 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 1: give a shout out. I don't know if you've been 672 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 1: reading about this woman, but she's evidently doing incredible work 673 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: right now with the NYPD. Do you know Jessica Tish 674 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: at all? Yes, I k I knew jesse Tish when 675 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,520 Speaker 1: I worked at the NYPD. She was a fellow analyst. 676 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,880 Speaker 1: Then yeah, I think she was an intern at Fox 677 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: News back in the day. And now I read a 678 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: big profile of her recently. Now she is maniacally focused 679 00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: on reducing crime in New York City and she is 680 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: having a tremendous amount of success. I believe she is 681 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,919 Speaker 1: a part of a very wealthy family in New York City, 682 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 1: which is the Tish family. They own the Giants. I mean, 683 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: I know the family. I grew up with Ben Tisch, 684 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 1: so yeah, I'm familiar with these peeps. Kind of kind 685 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: of a cool thing to own an NFL franchise, among 686 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: among other things. But she has been I meant to 687 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: mention her when you were talking about working with the 688 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 1: NYPD earlier. She has been maniacally focused on trying to 689 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 1: make New York City safer and has been having a 690 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 1: lot of results. And you know what she's doing, locking 691 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: up bad guys, locking up bad guys, and giving the 692 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: New York Police Department the ability that they did not 693 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 1: have during the BLM era to focus on where crimes 694 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: are committed, shift resources there, and start to make things safer. 695 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: And I'm seeing a lot of positive results also happening 696 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: nationwide now as Trump has back to the law and 697 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 1: order era prediction, I think we are going to see 698 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,280 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five a massive drop in violent crime 699 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: nationwide because police are being put back in a position 700 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: to police and keep our community safer. And the ironic 701 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 1: part of this, of course, is if Trump and the 702 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,720 Speaker 1: federal level support for law and order is successful, enough, 703 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 1: it may give more cover for Democrats in blue states 704 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,399 Speaker 1: or even some very blue cities to be more law 705 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 1: and order in their approach, you know, like they have 706 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 1: no choice or ei they're going to go along with it. 707 00:38:58,239 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 2: It gives them the ability to do it. 708 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 1: And that's what you would need, you know, if you 709 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: had somebody come along and turn around San Francisco. Let's say, 710 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: if you had a Democrat turn around San Francisco and 711 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 1: you had all that because the things of San Francisco, 712 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,239 Speaker 1: just to be clear, they always say, oh, violent crime. Yeah, 713 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: it's not violent crime. It's property crime and quality of 714 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: life stuff there. Okay, it's like one giant homeless encampment. 715 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: It's not a nice situation. Clay was just there pretty recently. 716 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:25,839 Speaker 2: Yeah. 717 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: And if you had somebody who cleaned that up and 718 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 1: had some government programs that actually seem to show some 719 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: promise for getting people off drugs, et cetera, et cetera, 720 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, that's the kind of Democrat who 721 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 1: you could then run nationally and say, we're not insane, 722 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,839 Speaker 1: vote for this guy, and then you ran through your 723 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 1: socialist left wing policies. Once you fooled the American people, 724 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: the problem they have right now is everybody who's already 725 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 1: in a Democrat position somewhere has a garbage record and 726 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,880 Speaker 1: they're not you know, so they don't have a bench. 727 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: Which is why Kamal is still coming out and saying, 728 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: oh yeah, like I'm you know, a leader of Democrat party. 729 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:05,320 Speaker 1: They don't have a successful Democrat running a major city 730 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 1: or a very a very blue stand not talking purple 731 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 1: because you know, you look at a place like Kentucky. 732 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,439 Speaker 1: They got a Democrat governor, but because the people are 733 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,279 Speaker 1: mostly red state voters, they won't allow things to get 734 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: as crazy. I think that you know that. The turnaround 735 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: at Clay it's such a shame. The turnaround to New York, 736 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 1: it's just waiting. I will always love New York City. 737 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: I will always love the Tri state area. It's where 738 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: I grew up. It's my home. I mean, I'm a 739 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,879 Speaker 1: New Yorker in Florida in a lot of ways. Still 740 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: I always will be. And it would be so incredible 741 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: to turn around all you the Giuliani miracle, it's there, 742 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: like there's a template, right, there's a you could you 743 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 1: could even hire some of the people that were involved. 744 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure you can hire Rooty Juliani as an advisor 745 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: if you would wanted to, if if you really were 746 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: trying to clean things up. 747 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 2: But they just won't do it. 748 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: They just although maybe in New York, the new the 749 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: new police commissioner jesse is going to do it, I 750 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: don't will see. I think Jessica Tish is having some success. 751 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,760 Speaker 1: But to your point, it's just cyclical. You have awful crime, 752 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: and you decide we need to be tough on criminals. 753 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: And when you're tough on criminals, crimes gets lower. And 754 00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: then when crime gets lower, leftists decide we're being too 755 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: tough on criminals. You start going easy on criminals. Crime 756 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:23,399 Speaker 1: goes up again. It's just it's data. And one way 757 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,360 Speaker 1: that I think would be really helpful if somebody wanted 758 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: to find a way to cut through some of this. 759 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: The the Democrat leadership approach on crime and the way 760 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: that they I think exploit things politically is they will say, 761 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: and I can speak to this in New York because 762 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:41,839 Speaker 1: I know the crime data very well and I was 763 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: in that. 764 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 2: System for a while and I grew up in that city. 765 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:49,120 Speaker 1: The Democrats will say, our law enforcement efforts are falling 766 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 1: short because or you know, there's a problem with them. 767 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: They're racist because we have we have been too aggressive 768 00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: with members of the black and brown community in this 769 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: city and are policing. What really needs to be understood 770 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,840 Speaker 1: is that the aggression is toward a very sort of speak, 771 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: it's sort of a very small subset of the overall 772 00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: black and brown population of New York City who are 773 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,800 Speaker 1: law abiding and who are the primary beneficiaries of lower 774 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: crime rates because they disproportionately live in the neighborhoods where 775 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: this bad stuff is happening. So you get the you 776 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: get the you know, the Kathi Hocals, or you get 777 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: the you know what's his name, Eric, Eric Eric Adams, 778 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: and you get these these politicians who are Democrats who 779 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 1: are like, Okay, we need to change our approach. 780 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:43,879 Speaker 2: We need to have no cash bail. 781 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 1: They need to do these things because the system is 782 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,359 Speaker 1: disproportionately hurting people who are black and brown. And the 783 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: real truth of it is that if you fix the 784 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: streets and make them safer, the primary beneficiaries are the 785 00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: you know, ninety nine percent of black and brown New 786 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: Yorkers who are not committing violent crimes. Correct, This is 787 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,359 Speaker 1: the This is the this is where you know, but 788 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,000 Speaker 1: they just they kind of play to this narrative of oh, 789 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,360 Speaker 1: the police are being racist. 790 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,520 Speaker 2: It's like, no, let the police make us all safe. 791 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 1: They're gonna make people safer in the high crime neighborhoods. 792 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 1: I actually think, Buck, as we go to break here, 793 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something positive about San Francisco. 794 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:26,879 Speaker 2: Oh. 795 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,120 Speaker 1: First of all, it's a beautiful, unbelievable it's maybe the 796 00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,239 Speaker 1: most beautiful place in the in the United States. I 797 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,000 Speaker 1: think they actually have a pretty good mayor. All of 798 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: a sudden, Daniel Lurie just started San Francisco mayor. I 799 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,760 Speaker 1: think he's going to do a decent job. And there 800 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: is some shoots of optimism, some green shoots that are 801 00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: coming up as they return to some form of sanity. 802 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: I just wish they didn't have to make such awful 803 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,640 Speaker 1: decisions in so many places in order order to make 804 00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: the same decision.

We're happy they let us use it. 850 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,879 Speaker 8: Wow, welly, every time you use it? I mean, does 851 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,919 Speaker 8: that you know benefit them financially? Are you just give 852 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,240 Speaker 8: them some free free airtime? 853 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,479 Speaker 1: Mat you ask good questions. My understanding is they get 854 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: something for that. But we wanted to make sure that 855 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: we had a band that loved what we say on 856 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: this program because some musicians you probably have experienced it 857 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,879 Speaker 1: or you've seen it in politics, when people that they 858 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,919 Speaker 1: don't like politically use their music, they decide to try 859 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,759 Speaker 1: and keep you from using it going forward. And so 860 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 1: I never wanted that to happen with this program. I 861 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: knew the guys behind lit. I love that song, and 862 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,399 Speaker 1: it for many people who remember the nineteen nineties has 863 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: become an anthem of the nineteen nineties. So they make 864 00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,320 Speaker 1: some money, but primarily it's just that we're in political 865 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,879 Speaker 1: alignment and that song has been nominal, and I thought 866 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 1: it fit very well the audience as we had to 867 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,240 Speaker 1: pick something new. 868 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 2: Doctor. 869 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,720 Speaker 8: By the way, Michael Jordan once said, Republicans buy tennis 870 00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 8: shoes as well, and so like, you know, whenever somebody says, 871 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 8: don't use my music, I'm thinking, hm, they must not 872 00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 8: think that Republicans listen to music. I'm glad, exactly know. 873 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 1: I think that that's I think that that is changing 874 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: a little bit now. At least people are more aware, 875 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 1: Senator that cutting out half of the country from their 876 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,799 Speaker 1: possible audience or their possible consumer base is unwise, and 877 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 1: we pay attention and we remember. So yeah, everybody out there, 878 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,959 Speaker 1: whatever you're listening to, you know, go to the iHeart app. 879 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 1: Go listen to some lit because they love all of you, 880 00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 1: They love all of us. All right, doctor Cassidy, Senator Cassidy, 881 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,080 Speaker 1: let's talk about the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pension Committee. 882 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,600 Speaker 1: So you're the first physician to sit on that. How 883 00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 1: are we making America healthy again? How's that coming along? 884 00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: I know RFK Junior is the one who's most talked 885 00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,839 Speaker 1: about it in that regard. But what are we doing 886 00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 1: for Americans health? What are we doing to make people 887 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:06,520 Speaker 1: you know healthier going forward? 888 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,719 Speaker 8: Well, one thing we tried to do yesterday was passibility 889 00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 8: to keep Jewish students from getting arrassed and beat up 890 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,880 Speaker 8: on campus. Some of my Democratic. 891 00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 2: Colleagues opposed it. 892 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 8: Can you believe that we're trying to pass ability to 893 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 8: keep some kid from being rast when he's walking to 894 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 8: like biology class? And folks oppose that it'd be nice 895 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 8: to keep people healthy by keeping them from being chased 896 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 8: into a room and people pounding on the door. So 897 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 8: that may not be the normal definition to keep it 898 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 8: America healthy again, but not getting beat up f's my definition. 899 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,840 Speaker 8: And that's what we worked on yesterday, and that's what 900 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 8: we'll complete sometime next week. 901 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,759 Speaker 1: Senator, you're down in Louisiana. One of the schools that 902 00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: went viral for anti anti Israel protests was LSU. There 903 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 1: were a lot of Southern schools where the kids just said, yeah, 904 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,839 Speaker 1: we're not going to stand up for this, and as 905 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:03,320 Speaker 1: a result, SEC applications and for Clemson Florida State schools 906 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,320 Speaker 1: such as those as well that had the same sort 907 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,920 Speaker 1: of cultural response have skyrocketed. 908 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,040 Speaker 2: What does that say about. 909 00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 1: Let's give a little bit of positivity here the kids 910 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,919 Speaker 1: going to school in Louisiana and their ability to see 911 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 1: right from wrong, even if maybe some of the kids 912 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,840 Speaker 1: at Harvard and U C. L A And Colombia and 913 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,320 Speaker 1: places like that can't. 914 00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 8: I can tell you some of these bastions of kind 915 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 8: of democratic strongholds may not appreciate the United States of America, 916 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,680 Speaker 8: but my folks do. And a lot of those kids, 917 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 8: maybe maybe their parents didn't go to college. They are 918 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:40,040 Speaker 8: getting the opportunity to take their lives to another level 919 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 8: because their parents sacrifice to send them to school, and 920 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 8: they're not about They're not about to feel guilty about 921 00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:51,480 Speaker 8: something happening around the world. It's being mischaracterized as somehow 922 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 8: an attack by the Israelis on others when October the 923 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 8: seventh was an attack upon the Israelis. You know, this 924 00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 8: is not upside down day, and so I'm proud of 925 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,000 Speaker 8: my people. My people love America and they are going 926 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,000 Speaker 8: to support Jewish students when they realize that's supporting those 927 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 8: students and supporting American values. 928 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:10,840 Speaker 2: Sator Cassidy. 929 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: And the last time we had you on was right 930 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: after the New Year's Eve terror attack in New Orleans, 931 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:21,840 Speaker 1: and the FBI has been working on this case for months. Iraqi, sorry, 932 00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:26,479 Speaker 1: and authorities have apparently arrested somebody with an ISIS link. 933 00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,400 Speaker 1: Can you tell us just as a follow up to that, 934 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 1: because last time we talked to you about it, we're 935 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 1: talking about terrorism and Israel. We've got terrorism concerns here 936 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: at home. What do we know about the full scope 937 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 1: of what happened and who was involved in that New 938 00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 1: Orleans terror attack. 939 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,319 Speaker 8: The FBI is still pretty confident this guy was a 940 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:47,240 Speaker 8: lone actor. So we're learning details from the situation in Iraq. 941 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 8: And let's just you know, again, we need to as 942 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,520 Speaker 8: Americans thank our friends around the world when they are 943 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:57,720 Speaker 8: friends to us. And I am grateful to our friends 944 00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,920 Speaker 8: in Iraq who helped find this film and are sharing 945 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 8: information to find if there is a connection. Reading about 946 00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,720 Speaker 8: the fellow that did the New Year's Day terrorist attack, 947 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,480 Speaker 8: he seemed kind of a lone wolf type of a person, 948 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,960 Speaker 8: like you'd broken up, divorced, his wife, had very few friends, 949 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,120 Speaker 8: that sort of thing. But if there is a connection there, 950 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 8: we'll find it out. We don't know yet, but I 951 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 8: want to point out that New Orleans and Louisiana and 952 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 8: our country did not let that terrorist or that terrorist 953 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:32,879 Speaker 8: act win The Super Bowl shortly thereafter was a fantastic experience, 954 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,000 Speaker 8: and so we don't yet know the complete ramifications. We 955 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 8: do know that our country, our state, my city responded 956 00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,439 Speaker 8: in an incredibly positive way. 957 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,799 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, president of the United States, just finished one 958 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,080 Speaker 1: hundred days. He's going to be speaking in a place 959 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: that may not be particularly fond place for your constituents. 960 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 1: That is the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa tonight. I believe, 961 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,360 Speaker 1: for those who don't know, LSU, Alabama big rivals, some 962 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 1: of the biggest rivals in all of college. But notwithstanding 963 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,799 Speaker 1: him being in enemy territory from a football perspective, how 964 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,880 Speaker 1: would you assess the first hundred days of the Trump 965 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 1: presidency and what do you think going forward Congress can do, 966 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,879 Speaker 1: particularly the Senate, when it comes to passing this big, 967 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 1: beautiful bill that would help to enshrine the tax cuts 968 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,359 Speaker 1: and ensure the American economy is on stronger footing. How 969 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 1: would you break down where we're headed there? 970 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,080 Speaker 8: Well, first starting off on one hundred days. I start 971 00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:32,000 Speaker 8: off on the first thirty days. President Trump inherited a 972 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:36,120 Speaker 8: southern border in which millions of literally millions of people 973 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 8: were crossing illegally, and along with that came drug trafficking 974 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 8: with Sentinel by the way, seventy four thousand roughly Americans 975 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,399 Speaker 8: die anglely from drug overdose from CENTERL overdose. And within 976 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 8: thirty days that was shut down. He says, Okay, Mexicans, 977 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,520 Speaker 8: if you don't control this, we're going to put a 978 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 8: twenty five percent tariff on you. Suddenly the President of 979 00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,240 Speaker 8: Mexico six the Mexican Army on the cars, starts breaking 980 00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:05,400 Speaker 8: up the migrant caravans. Now we are just the lowest 981 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,920 Speaker 8: level of illegal immigration across that border in decades, and 982 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 8: the cartels are on the run with their fentanyl labs. 983 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,360 Speaker 8: So I like to talk about the first thirty days 984 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 8: in which that promise to control the illegal immigration across 985 00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,360 Speaker 8: our southern border was controlled, and by the way, the 986 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:27,200 Speaker 8: flow of fentanyl across that border greatly reduced, hopefully down 987 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,880 Speaker 8: to zero. That's number one. Number two he is pushing 988 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 8: now for increased economic development. Last night, I was at 989 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,000 Speaker 8: the White House with a group of about three or 990 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,800 Speaker 8: four other Senators with a lot of business leaders, talking 991 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 8: about the investments they are making in our country. Five 992 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,160 Speaker 8: point eight billion dollars by a Hyundai to build something 993 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:51,759 Speaker 8: in what we call the river parishes of Louisiana, like 994 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:57,239 Speaker 8: a seventeen billion dollar investment in Plaquemin's Parish in Louisiana 995 00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,439 Speaker 8: by Venture Global for LNGX sport. He didn't even mention 996 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:05,759 Speaker 8: Woodside and Woodside's putting seventeen billion dollars in Louisiana for 997 00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 8: another LNG export facility, but he did speak about other 998 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:14,839 Speaker 8: states other projects with huge investment. That's more jobs, better 999 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 8: paying jobs for working Americans. That's in the first hundred days. 1000 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 8: I am hoping we keep this pace up for the 1001 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 8: next three and a half something years. 1002 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:25,239 Speaker 2: Senator. 1003 00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: The tariffs are getting a lot of attention for obvious 1004 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 1: reasons all across the country. You might have seen Kamala 1005 00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,920 Speaker 1: Harris last night, if you stayed awake for it, you 1006 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 1: might have seen Kamala Harris talking about the greatest man 1007 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 1: made economic disaster I think she said in modern history 1008 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:48,719 Speaker 1: and today the administration. Yeah, I mean no, we we 1009 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 1: really did think of like this is the worst. She 1010 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 1: thinks this is the worst man made economic disaster and 1011 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,280 Speaker 1: let's call it the last you know in the post 1012 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 1: World War two era. 1013 00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 2: Wow. 1014 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:02,720 Speaker 1: Okay, But put aside Kamala Harris economist for a second 1015 00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 1: here the tariffs. What should people know about where you 1016 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:11,640 Speaker 1: think this is going? And is it right fundamentally for 1017 00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,960 Speaker 1: Trump to take this approach specifically to China but also 1018 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,040 Speaker 1: more broadly to other countries that have tariffs against us? 1019 00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,799 Speaker 2: And why? I mean, I just want to hear your 1020 00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 2: thinking on the Trump tariffs. 1021 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 8: Well, first, to use tariffs initially with Mexico, as we spoke, 1022 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,360 Speaker 8: as a tool of foreign policy to get the Mexicans 1023 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 8: to address the cartels and the caravans coming from Central America. 1024 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,560 Speaker 8: That worked. That was a pretty effective use of tariffs 1025 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 8: as foreign policy. Secondly, trying to ensure equal market access. 1026 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 8: And we've seen countries I think Cambodia was the first, 1027 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,919 Speaker 8: but Vietnam with whom we trade a heck of a lot. 1028 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:52,160 Speaker 8: Israel immediately coming forward saying we will drop our tariffs, 1029 00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:57,160 Speaker 8: let's enter into negotiations. Now, the biggest problem is obviously China, 1030 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,360 Speaker 8: and frankly, we don't know how that's going to play. 1031 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,320 Speaker 8: There is a lot of stuff that comes from China 1032 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,319 Speaker 8: that we don't make in the United States. Now, the 1033 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:11,360 Speaker 8: Chinese terribly unfair trading partners, who will, if there is 1034 00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:15,720 Speaker 8: an American competitor, slash the price of their goods below 1035 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,960 Speaker 8: their cost of production, put our folks out of business, 1036 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:23,000 Speaker 8: and then jack their price back up. So these tarifts 1037 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,320 Speaker 8: are trying to correct a lot. But China is a 1038 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 8: huge economy. We are mutually we are dependent upon them, 1039 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 8: they are dependent upon us, and so the President's going 1040 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 8: to really have to do the art of the deal 1041 00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,000 Speaker 8: to make that work. Well. 1042 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:40,040 Speaker 1: Some news coming out today about Mike Waltz, the National 1043 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,840 Speaker 1: Security Advisor. What should happen there?
