00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Our number two of the program we roll on. Want

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: to get right to our guest at the top of

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: this hour. He is the Governor of the state of Texas,

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott, and Governor, appreciate you making the time for us,

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: and I'll go right to the news of the day

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: to hear from you the absolute latest on the border deaths.

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: What are the numbers? What do you know about the

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: latest as it pertains to that awful story that took

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: over basically everything last night in terms of people reacting

12
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: to it. Well, Clay Grayson, visit with you again and listen.

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: What happened is absolutely devastating, but also absolutely predictable because

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's up from border policies where he's doing

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing to enforce the immigration laws of the United States.

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: And when the President refuses to enforce the immigration laws,

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: that empowers the cartels, and nobody comes across the border

18
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: without the assistance of the cartels. The cartels assisted these

19
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: people to get across the border, and then they get

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: picked up on the Texas side by either a cartel

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: member or someone working in conjunction with a smuggling operation,

22
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: and they put these people into a truck like this

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and drove it to where it was eventually located. With

24
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: regard to the numbers of people involved and things like that. There,

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: I just got through talking right before I talk to

26
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: you with the head of the Texas a Private of

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: Public Safety, and that they are still working to finalize

28
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: some factual details, and so I'm not going to send

29
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: to give you something that would be a guesswork. All

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: I can tell you is this, what happened is a

31
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: crime in the set of Texas, and we are working

32
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that we can locate anybody and everybody

33
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: who deserves to be prosecuted for this crime. But also

34
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: what I can tell you is that these deaths are

35
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: on Joe Biden because of Joe Biden's policies that attract

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: people to come across the borders signaling that the border

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,839
Speaker 1: is open, and people make this very dangerous trek coming

38
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: across the border having no idea that they're going to

39
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: be going into a situation where they could lose their

40
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: lives like this. This tragedy occurred because of Joe Biden's

41
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: reckless policies. Americans need to understand that Governor Rabbitt's back

42
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. The Biden administration doesn't seem

43
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: to want to do anything to change the reality at

44
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: the border for the better, meaning law and order, security

45
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: and orderly process for legal admission into the country. What

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: would it look like. I mean, let's just assume I

47
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: was talking to Clay before about this, that Democrats are

48
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: so beaten down after the midterm elections that they're finally

49
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: willing to try at least a little bit of an

50
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: increase in border security. What could be done, Governor I mean,

51
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: let's if you had a willing partner on the federal side,

52
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: what would it look like to secure the border for

53
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: your state, in all the border states? So buff we

54
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: don't have to like guess or you know, postulary about this.

55
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: We know exactly what could be done, because it was

56
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: literally as recent as a year and a half ago

57
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: that we did have a president of the United States

58
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: who was securing the border more than any other president ever.

59
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: Hasn't led to multi decade lows and the number of

60
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: people coming across the border. And what President Trump did,

61
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: he did four or five things that can be replicated

62
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: by any president. One he built a wall to implemented

63
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: tile A forty two. Three, he implemented the remain of

64
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: Mexico policy for he ended catching release. But maybe most prolifically,

65
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: he sent a message that we're not going to accept

66
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: illegal immigration more and that is what led to the

67
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: multi decade lows. And so buck listen, it's not hard

68
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: to do this, and we we experienced this in the

69
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: set of Texas with these record lows and the number

70
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: of people coming across the border. We need once again

71
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: a president of the United States who will do that.

72
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: But I will tell you this. You know, some of

73
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: us can start, if not now, pretty soon with regard

74
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: to changing and corraling what the bid administration is doing,

75
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: because either now or if Republicans take control of the

76
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: United States Congress, they can I think begin by impeaching

77
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: Secretary Homeland Security Secretary in ma Yorcus last night he

78
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: said that this has nothing to do with the Biden

79
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: administration because the borders are not open. This is insanity

80
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 1: and he's doing nothing more than lying to the American people,

81
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: and he needs to be impeached. But there need to

82
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: be investigations every single day about the bid administration's failure

83
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: and pushing them into it. But let's let me go

84
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: back and a point that you kind of also brought up.

85
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: There are political consequences for this for the right administration.

86
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: And you've already seen those political consequences because you saw

87
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: Yer Floras get elected as a Republican to a congressional

88
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: seat in South Texas that had always been held by

89
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: a Democrat, and she won. Because Democrats, Republicans, Hispanics, everybody

90
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: who lives along the border, they are angry about the

91
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: Biden administration's approach to the open border policies and they

92
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: want people in office to step up and do something

93
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 1: about it. We now have another member of the United

94
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: States Congress who is going to be holding Biden's feet

95
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: to the fire with regard to the immigration policies in

96
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: the United States of America. We're talking to Governor of Texas,

97
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: Greg Abbotts. I want to ask you. You're talking all

98
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: about Biden's failures, and certainly we've spent a lot of

99
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: time discussing all of them here on the program, but

100
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: also energy policy, oil and gas, obviously in Texas is

101
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: massively important, not only to your state account, but to

102
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: the national economy. You've got a letter that you wrote

103
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: to the EPA about the impact that Joe Biden is

104
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: having that you say could jeopardize a quarter of the

105
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: nation's gas supply based on Permian Basin policies he's putting

106
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: in place. What should our audience know about what's going

107
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: on there, so it'd be clear. The letter that I

108
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: sent yesterday was to President Biden, and what I did

109
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: is I called out President Biden for his duplicity. You know,

110
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: President Biden is trying to tell people Americans who are

111
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: angry about the inflation, who are angry about the price

112
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: of the pump, and he's trying to tell them he's

113
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: doing everything you can to reduce the price of the pump.

114
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: But Americans do not know what I'm about to tell

115
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: your audience right now. And that is recently, like last week,

116
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: the EPA under the Biden administration issued a Discretionary Act

117
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: where they're going to be seeking to impose greater regulations

118
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: in the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin is the largest

119
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: oil field in the United States of America. Is mostly

120
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: in West Texas and partly in New Mexico, and if

121
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: the EPA follows through with this discretionary Act, it will

122
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: cause either a reduction in the production of oil and

123
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: gas or it will cause the oil and gas companies

124
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: producing it to implement measures that will increase the price

125
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: of the oil that they're selling in that in turn

126
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: will increase the price of gasoline. So my point is

127
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: this that Americans need to understand, and that is Joe

128
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: Biden on the one side of his mouth to saying

129
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: he wants to lower the price of gasling on the

130
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: other side of his mouth to his EPA, they're taking

131
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: action that's going to skyrockets the price of gasoline, all

132
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: while Biden is going over to Saudi Arabia begging them

133
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: for more oil. What Biden is doing makes no sense whatsoever.

134
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: We're speaking to the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, governor

135
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: of the Uvalde shooting, after a law enforcement response and

136
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: looking at the in the aftermath of this, what that

137
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: response involved, the law enforcement tactics. Texas Department of Public

138
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: Safety has an ongoing investigation as we know, what can

139
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: you tell us about the ability and they desired to

140
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: get answers here about how it seems this went so

141
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: very wrong. From a law enforcement response perspective, Well, there

142
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: there's both the ability, the desire, and the certainty that,

143
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: for one, we will get to the bottom of every

144
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: nuanced detail about exactly what happened, and that the public

145
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: will know. But most importantly, the people of your bounty

146
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: will know. The victims and the families of the victims

147
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: they are going to know because they deserve answers. But

148
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: but listen, we as a state, with as a country,

149
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: we needn't know exactly what happened and what went wrong,

150
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: why it went wrong, and what we need to do

151
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: to make sure that it gets corrected. The good news

152
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: is this, and that is much of the details have

153
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: already been pieced together. And I can tell you why,

154
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: and that's because there have been a lot of videos

155
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: that have been taken as well as bodycams, and some

156
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: of the body cams have audio on them as well,

157
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: and so there's real time gathering of information about exactly

158
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: what was said and done in real time, and all

159
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: of the information is is going to be coming out

160
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: and we want to make sure that the public gets

161
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: to know this. The Texas Rangers are the lead investigator

162
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: of this. They are working with the FBI, and you

163
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: may know that the Department of Justice is also conducting

164
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: an investigation. We want all of these investigations and we

165
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: want them all to come together as quickly as possible,

166
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: and we want to make sure that whenever anything is

167
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: released to the public, it will not contain any conflict

168
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: of information, any erroneous information. Because people have no more latitude,

169
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: no no, no, no more acceptance of any more inaccurate information.

170
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: We got to get it, and we got to get

171
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: it right, and we've got to get it out to

172
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: the public as quickly as possible. Governor, I thought you

173
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: handled your briefing about as well as you could have

174
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: when Beto O'Rourke interrupted it, and I know his moment

175
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: interrupting you went viral, but your response to that was

176
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: really impressive that you kept your cool. In my opinion,

177
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: what are you hearing from people on the campaign trail

178
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: about that incident, the way that Beto handled it and

179
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: his behavior there. Well, Listen to the people I talked to.

180
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: They say that it was an embarrassing moment for Beto

181
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: and it's the kind of thing that shows the lack

182
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: of class that he's repeatedly demonstrated in the past and

183
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: it shows his his own duplicity, and so it's a

184
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: it's typical betto. You know, there was there was a

185
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: phrase he used against Ted Cruz in a debate when

186
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: he reft for the Senate, and it was prueefarm and

187
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: this is prudeform for Beto. A lord governor of Texas.

188
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott, Governor, appreciate you being with us today, sir,

189
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: thank you so much. You too, You guys take care.

190
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: That is a pretty interesting buck. We got a lot

191
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: of information there from the governor said that he thought

192
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: Mayorchis should be impeached. The tragedy Bacurd at the border

193
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: occurred because of Joe Biden's reckless policies and direct quote,

194
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: these deaths are on Joe Biden. We'll see whether the

195
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: media is willing to cover those deaths. In the meantime.

196
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: You've been to college. You can well imagine sitting in

197
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: a lecture hall listening to a professor take on a

198
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: big picture conversation. You're taking notes, You're trying to keep

199
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: up with the pace of the professor because you're intensely interested.

200
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: Now imagine that same conversation takes place online in a

201
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: video series free to you to learn from. That's Hillsdale

202
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,599
Speaker 1: College in Action. Hillsdale often takes the subject matter in

203
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: a lecture hall and translates it an online video series

204
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: for free for you to watch. This is an ambitious project,

205
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: but one that Hillsdale loves doing. Their newest course focuses

206
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: on the great CS Lewis, author and speaker who made

207
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: a history with his lively conversation and wording. Hillsdale has

208
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: brought his work to life in a series they're calling

209
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: cs Lewis on Christianity. Put yourself back in college for

210
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: a moment. Take on topics like the nature of good

211
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: and evil, prayer in the Bible, or even heaven and Hell,

212
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: just to name a few. Here's how you can get

213
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: yourself a little bit more educated, maybe step out of

214
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: what's going on in the real world and help to

226
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: you've certainly noticed these days a lot of a lot

227
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: of anger toward Clarence Thomas recently in the media. They're

228
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: all so upset about Clarence times interesting, you know, much

229
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: less at Alito. They're way more mad about Clarence Thomas,

230
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: who was all recall, was appointed back under the George H. W.

231
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: Bush administration, so little credit, you know. I feel like

232
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush doesn't get a lot of high

233
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: fives from the right, from the Republican base for many

234
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: cases good reason. But he did give us Clarence Thomas,

235
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: so fair is fair. We got Chris In down at Savannah, Georgia,

236
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: listening on our great affiliate w t k S in Savannah. Chris,

237
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: what's going on? That's us? My call with a giant

238
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: hotty toddy coming from Savannah this week. I wanted to

239
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: let you know, we are proud of a native son here, Clarenton.

240
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Congrats by the way, Sorry, first of all, congrats to

241
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Old miss since you're tossing out to Hotty Toddy. They

242
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: were one of the last teams to make the College

243
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: World Series for people who may not know the Hotty

244
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: tott each year and ended up winning the College World Series.

245
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: To congrats to you, guys. I'm so glad you took

246
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: Buck to the Grove and ma'am my Hurt was proud

247
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: that he got to see what old missus is famous for.

248
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: And well, he went to Tuscaloosa to be fair, but

249
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: he did see Old miss play against Alabama. He has

250
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: not been to the Grove yet, gotcha. Well, I just

251
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: wanted to let y'all know. Clarence Thomas is a native

252
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: son of Savannah and he comes from a historically black

253
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: community called Pinpoint, Georgia. Pen Point sits right on the

254
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: river on the mainland, directly across the river from an

255
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: i barrier island named Skitaway Island where the plantations were

256
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: and pin Point was set up literally when the slaves

257
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: were freed, they crossed the river and set up shop

258
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: in Pinpoint, Georgia and the native dialect that you were

259
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: referring to is called Gulla or Geechee, and that was

260
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: the dialect. So my recollection from the Clarence Thomas biography

261
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: of a long time ago is pretty much correct, meaning

262
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: that it was a community. Pin Point was founded by

263
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: former slaves and Clarence Thomas grew up speaking. You said,

264
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: it's called Gullah, Gulla and or Geechee, depending on the community. Yeah,

265
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,119
Speaker 1: that was all from the Barrier Islands of coastal Carolina,

266
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: Georgia and northern Florida. And so man couldn't be more

267
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: proud of him as a Savannian and just I think

268
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: he's doing a stellar job, has top Clay. Thank you

269
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: so much, Chris for your your knowledge of the town

270
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: of Savannah, and thanks for everyone listening down on WTKS.

271
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: Are fantastic affiliate there. They actually they let me do

272
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: my I did my show a couple of times from

273
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: down in Savannah X. I had some some sponsors who

274
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: were based out of Savannah, and so I've spent time

275
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: other one of my favorite towns in the whole country

276
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: to visit for a weekend. Honestly grateful, great people. I

277
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: love the ghost tour stuff too. Big fan. Yeah, it's fantastic.

278
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: Charleston is as well for anybody who's down on that

279
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: coastal area. We forget a lot of times how big

280
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: Savannah and Charleston both were in terms of the size

281
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: of those communities in the late seventeen and early eighteen hundreds.

282
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: Charleston was I think at one point the fourth largest

283
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: city in the entire United States. And so both of

284
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: those communities have a monstrous amount of really old buildings

285
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: and fabulously well preserved downtowns. And so if you haven't

286
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: been to either Savannah or to Charleston, they are really

287
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: jewels of the southern East coast for people to be

288
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 1: able to go check out. But it's it's I think

289
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: it's just worth noting. You know, Clarence Thomas. You know,

290
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: if there were a Mount Rushmore for Supreme Court justices,

291
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: I would I would advocate for Clarence Thomas to be

292
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: on that Mount Rushmore. I think Clarence Thomas is one

293
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: of the one of the very best. And the fact

294
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 1: it's so true these days, clay As you know when

295
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: you're taking a lot of heats because you're over the target.

296
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: You know when you're taking a lot of flak. It's

297
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: because you're over the target, I think uniquely to Clarence Thomas,

298
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: and we talked about this a little bit in the

299
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: first hour. The target on him is different than it

300
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: would be to your point, Aldo wrote the opinion right.

301
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: Who would think that people would be furious at Aldo.

302
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anybody hardly rip Gorsuch at all. Amy

303
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: Coney Barrett and Justice Thomas in these opinions are scary too. Democrats,

304
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: women and minorities, particularly black Blake breaking off from them

305
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: is terrified. You see a lot of sexism and racism

306
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: from leftist You are angry about it too. Look, if

307
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: you're living with chronic pain for a long time, you

308
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: want to find a solution. We have a game changer

309
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: for your quality of life. It's called Relief Factor. Relief

310
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: Factor is natural and safe. A lot of pain you

311
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: see is the result of inflammation and the natural aging process.

312
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: One of our listeners, Aileen, knew this all too well,

313
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: which is why she decided to give Relief Factor a try.

314
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: Was it long after she started taking relief Factor that

315
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: she felt the results enough she could start walking comfortably again.

316

Speaker 1: be in your usual spot able to listen to your

333
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: usual station. Boom Clay Travis buck Sexton, make sure you

334
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: don't miss a moment. We're going to talk with Lee

335
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: Zelden here in the next segment, as it is the

336
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: New York primary day. We talked with Andrew la Giuliani

337
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: in the first hour and I hope you heard Greg

338
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: Abbott in the top of this hour saying about the

339
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,719
Speaker 1: deaths of the would be illegal immigrants crossing into the country.

340
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: These deaths are on Joe Biden. This tragedy occurred because

341
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's reckless policies, and I thought the governor

342
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: of Exus there, Greg Abbott had some interesting things to say.

343
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris buck I listen to her interview with CNN.

344
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: She had multiple days to get ready for an interview

345
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: on Rovie Wade, and every single time Kamala Harris talks,

346
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: I feel like she is the kid who has to

347
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: get to five hundred words in a paper and only

348
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: has about a hundred words of an opinion. Here is

349
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris letting you know that she is the daughter

350
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: of a woman and the granddaughter of a woman. This

351
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: is important because while all of you are too, but

352
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: while she's the vice president, just listen when you think

353
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: about it terms of what that means, terms of democratic principles,

354
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: in terms of the ideals upon which we were founded

355
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: about liberty, about freedom. You know, I thought about it,

356
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: as you know a parent. We have two children who

357
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: are in their twenties, A son and a daughter. I

358
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: thought about it as a godparent of teenagers. I thought

359
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: of it as an aunt of of preschool children, and

360
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: a woman yourself, and a woman myself, and the daughter

361
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: of a woman, and a granddaughter of a woman. Well, Clay,

362
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: let me just say as the son of a father,

363
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: and the grandson of a grandfather and the great grandson

364
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: of a great grandfather. I mean, we could do this

365
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: all day. Kamala Harris is definitely not going to be

366
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: the Democrat nominee for the next election. That I do that,

367
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: I do know. Actually, I mean, you hear these clips

368
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry. Even Joe Biden on his worst day

369
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: manages to be more relatable and compelling than Kamala Harris.

370
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: She is the full fruition of diversity and inclusion when

371
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 1: diversity inclusion is the goal as opposed to giving an

372
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: opportunity to everyone, right. And I think this is an

373
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: important distinction because a lot of people miss it. Giving

374
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: people opportunit tunity is important regardless of what their background is,

375
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: but giving people jobs just because of their identity ends

376
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: up with Kamala Harris. She is I mean, I know,

377
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: people rip dan Quell to the high heavens back in

378
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: the nineteen eighties when he was the vice president for

379
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: George Bush Senior. But I got to be honest with you, Buck,

380
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: I can't think of a more empty suit politician in

381
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: any of our lives than Kamala Harris. She can't even

382
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: be trusted to speak for thirty seconds without making herself

383
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: look like an imbassidle. It really does feel like for

384
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: any of you. And I had to go through a

385
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: fair amount of this both at the CIA and then

386
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: at the MYPD. And you know, Clay, I don't that

387
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: I mentioned the show. I have been told recently by

388
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: friends who have left the CIA, which you would think, although,

389
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 1: look what's going on with the military, which is even

390
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: more We played that awful Navy clip of the pronoun

391
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: and the USA and the intelligence community are they have

392
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: this reputation now? A lot of will know Deep State

393
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: and the clowns that have come out and signed the

394
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: letter about the Russian You know, unfortunately the brand has

395
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: taken quite obedient, yea the last in the last few years.

396
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: You know, we're not looking for Ben Laden anymore. So,

397
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: people like what exactly you guys doing? But the wokeness

398
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: is all over the intelligence community now I mean, and

399
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean the same kind of mentality you have with

400
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, gender and pronoun Awareness Day and all this stuff.

401
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: You know, we shouldn't be focusing federal resources on this,

402
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: but of course we are, and this is resulting even

403
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think in part and why military right

404
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: now is having new story just yesterday, huge problems in

405
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: enlistment and recruitment to issue, huge problems in getting and

406
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: keeping people in all across all the armed services right now. Well,

407
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: because people don't really want to sign up for something

408
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: that they think is meant to be about service and

409
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: being the best, and let's be honest, being badasses, which

410
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: is what our military. They're there to protect us and

411
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: to defeat anyone else. Instead, what they're getting a lot

412
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: of now from a Diversity and Inclusion CADRE is long

413
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: lectures about inclusivity and using the proper pronoun. In a

414
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: war zone, I can tell you nobody cares about pronouns. Yeah,

415
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: nobody cares about pronouns. Who has a functional brain now

416
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: in our opinion, but it is unfortunate. If you're sixteen

417
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: or seventeen or eighteen years old and you're looking for

418
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: life direction, do you want to go to a woke military. No, look,

419
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: you want to go get yourself into elite physical shape

420
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: and train to kick the crap out of people that

421
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: I mean, Look, let's be honest, there are a lot

422
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: of dudes and women who want to do that. That

423
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: has a great deal of appeal to them. This idea

424
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: that you're going to sit around and make sure that

425
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: your pronouns are correct is a recipe for disaster for

426
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: our mili. What I was gonna say is, you know,

427
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: even when you're in the FETE, when you're in the

428
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: federal government, when you're in local government service at a

429
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: place like the Intelligence Division, the MYPD where I was,

430
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: you have to sit through these lectures and everyone's sitting

431
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: They're going, why are you wasting my time with this crap?

432
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: Kamala is the person who gives you those lectures about

433
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: diversity inclusion. Kamala is the person who it's all boilerplate,

434
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: it's all sort of just you know, this corporate leftist

435
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: commissar double speak. It's crazy. The person who has the

436
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: most power in many companies right now is the person

437
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: in charge of diversity inclusion. Because whatever they say, if

438
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: you question it, you're questioning diversity and inclusion because they

439
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: become the voice for it. And this is emblematic. I mean, look,

440
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: Democrats didn't like Kamala Harris, she was pulling less than

441
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: one percent. She dropped out before and he votes were

442
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: actually cast. And then Joe Biden, old white guy, actually

443
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: picked the person no Democrats liked who called him a

444
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: racist as his vice presidential candidate. It is going to

445
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: be fascinating to watch. I believe we're still I think

446
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: it's a year out. I have to check the schedule

447
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: of when the decisions. Supreme Court's gonna outlaw from his

448
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: fall folks, Yeah, oh this fault. Supreme Court's gonna outlaw

449
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: from an action. Yes, and that's gonna have a lot

450
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: of implications for universities for because we should open up

451
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: the floodgates to lawsuits and everybody should say. I have

452
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: a whole a kind of Operation Chaos in mind for

453
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: this set. But we'll have to wait until it'll be

454
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: six three. Even John Roberts is going to agree to

455
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: this opinion that basically affirmative action in schooling has to

456
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: go away. And they were close twenty years ago, and

457
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: now they're going to officially do it and the Biden administration.

458
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: You look at his cabinet, which is the most incompetent

459
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: cabinet I believe in modern American history. And basically all

460
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: he did is checkmark to make sure that every different

461
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: group was represented in that cabinet, not based on qualification

462
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: or merit, but entirely based on identity. And Kamala Harris

463
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: is the leader of that brigade. You didn't sleep well

464
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: last night. Let's work to change that. Mike Glendell and

00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,320

486
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Joining us now we have Congressman Leezeldon. He is representing

487
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: the first Congressional district. He is running for governor of

488
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: the Great State of New York. Congressman, thanks for calling in, gentlemen.

489
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you so sir. It's been

490
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: a rough time the last couple of years to be

491
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: a New Yorker right New York City, particularly in New

492
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: York State. We've got a lot of listeners all over

493
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: New York State have been through quite a time. How

494
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: are you going to fix things? Why are the right guy?

495
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: The state? I agree with you is heading in the

496
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: wrong direction right now. Kathy Hokel, the current governor is

497
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: in over her head. She is pandering to the far left.

498
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,479
Speaker 1: She's got these tax and spend self described socialists, pro

499
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: criminal She's playing along with it. So where I want

500
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: to repeal Castle Spell, Kathy Hokel says, I need to

501
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: see more data. I say we should get rid of

502
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Kathy Hokel says, cut him

503
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: some slack. He just got there. He's doing his job.

504
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: I believe that we should start safely extracting our own

505
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: natural gas in the state. We send them to Marcellus

506
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: and Utica shells. Meanwhile, One Party Democratic rule up in Albany.

507
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: Not only have they have this ban in place for

508
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: their next act, they want to ban all gas hookups

509
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: on new constructions statewide. So when you look at the issues,

510
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we're just starting to scratch the service here.

511
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: If you look at the issues as to why people

512
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: are hitting their breaking point and fleeing New York, the

513
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: attacks and wallets, on safety, on freedom, on the quality

514
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: of our kids education, the contrast, the choice could not

515
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: possibly be clear. We have to go in a different direction.

516
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: We have to secure streets to black our blue and

517
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: to allow people to keep more of their money protect

518
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: their freedom. Yeah, I know exactly why I'm in this race,

519
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: and I know why we're getting so much support from

520
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: around the stakes. A lot of people agree that this

521
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: is not rock bottom, but we're on our way. Lee,

522
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: I was reading this morning that there's increasing nervousness in

523
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: Oregon and Washington State potentially about losing statewide races Democrats

524
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: who have dominated for a long time. I imagine that

525
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: you're feeling that momentum of a red wave in New

526
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: York as well. Can a Republicans win a statewide office

527
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: in New York in your opinion? And why not? Only

528
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: can we win, we are going to win. I would

529
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: not be in this race otherwise I have to give

530
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: up my seat in the House of Representatives to make

531
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: this run. My running mate, our states next Lieutenant Governor,

532
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: Alison Esposito, was over twenty four years in the NYPD.

533
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: She was the commanding officer of the seventieth Precinct in Brooklyn,

534
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: and she had to retire not just to be our

535
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: states next lieutenant governor, she had to retire to be

536
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: our candidate to be our states next lieutenant governor. So

537
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: Alison and I are all in. We saw November second,

538
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: while everybody was looking at the Virginia Governor's race all

539
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: throughout New York, so much flipped from blue to red.

540
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: And I think that the climate has actually only gotten

541
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: better since November second of twenty twenty one. Yeah, I

542
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't be in this race if I didn't feel like

543
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: everything was set up right for this race to finish

544
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: in first. For me, my mentality is that losing is

545
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: not an option. The only option is for us to win.

546
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: And I'm all in. We're speaking of Leezelden. He's running

547
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: for governor in New York today as primary day in

548
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: the Empire State. And Lee, I want to know because yeah,

549
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: people listening, as you know, all of the country. We've

550
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: got lots of folks on our various affiliates here in

551
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: New York too, which is important the primary day. But

552
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: it seems that there's going to be a trend here

553
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: going into the general election in November where you're going

554
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: to have people who are switching over right, people who

555
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: were Democrats maybe the last time around, this time around,

556
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: they're going to change it up, or maybe they were

557
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: just sitting on the fence and now they're going to

558
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: come down on the Republican side in New York, who

559
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: do you see winning over? I mean, give us the

560
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: sense of when you're out there talking to people who's

561
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 1: coming over to vote Republican this time around, to vote

562
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: for you this time around, that may not have been

563
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: the traditional you know, because you're gonna need those if

564
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,719
Speaker 1: you're gonna beat hocal in a state that's Democrat more

565
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: than Republican. Listen, I love the question right to the

566
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: heart of it. In New York, a lot of people

567
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: look at the registration of Democrats to Republicans and often

568
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,959
Speaker 1: don't look at the millions of voters who aren't republic

569
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: or Democrat. In twenty eighteen, the last time there was

570
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: a midterm election of the sitting president, the independents were

571
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: leaning left of center. Now they're leaning right of center.

572
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: Not only are they leaning right of center, but there's

573
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: an enthusiasm gap. The people who plan on voting Republican

574
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: are more excited about doing it than the people who

575
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: are planning to vote Democrat. There are a lot more

576
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: disenfranchised Democrats. We're going into a midterm in New York where,

577
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: for the first time in my lifetime, we have a

578
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: midterm election with one party Democratic rule in DC, Albany

579
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: and New York City. At the same time, I've seen

580
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: it with the Asian American community. They are whether it's

581
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: the quality of education for their kids or it's crime

582
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: in public safety because many different members of their community

583
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: have been getting murdered, targeted, and murdered inside of New

584
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: York City. I happen to be blessed with a great wife, Diana,

585
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: and our daughters, Mikaela and Ariana. I have an Asian

586
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: American family. They're excited about the fact that they have

587
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: someone from their own community going to be up there

588
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: in Albany as the first the Asian American first family

589
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: up in Albany. I've seen it with the Hispanic vote

590
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: inside of not just New York, but across the country.

591
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: I believe that we're going to win the Hispanic vote,

592
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: and I'm just sharing these thoughts to answer your question.

593
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: I believe we'll do better with the black vote than

594
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: what we've seen in the past. I last week was

595
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: inside of Harlem at Sylvia's meeting with a bunch of

596
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: community members for a lunch, and we're going to keep

597
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: doing that to earn their support. Also, I'd be the

598
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: first Jewish Republican governor of New York. I've seen a

599
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of support coming in from the Jewish community,

600
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 1: efforts to combat anti Semitism, efforts to make our streets

601
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: more secure, and to promote school choice because a lot

602
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: of people in their community and others pursue non public

603
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: options and they all have access to the highest quality

604
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: education possible. So all of this and more presents an

605
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: opportunity when the Democrats are doing so much damage, you

606
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: have people looking elsewhere for the solutions. Lee, if you

607
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: win mask mandates over four kids and anyone else in

608
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: the state of New York. We saw that was one

609
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: of the first things that was able to happen. When

610
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: Glenn Yunkin won in Virginia, made a tremendous impact there.

611
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm presuming for you this would be the case as well. Yeah,

612
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm against all COVID mandates. I don't believe that there

613
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: should be mask mandates. There shouldn't be vaccine mandates, there

614
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 1: shouldn't be vaccine passports. I don't think anybody should have

615
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: been fired for what is a personal decision of whether

616
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: or not to get the shot. My attitude is if

617
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: you want to get it, get it. If you don't

618
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: want to get it, don't get it. But where Kathy

619
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 1: Hopel and I definitely disagree here is that she has

620
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: called on New Yorkers to get the COVID vaccine, to

621
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: be her apostle, Go go be my apostle, and go

622
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: get it. I look at New Yorkers as New Yorkers,

623
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: as residents, as constituents, as voters. I don't look at

624
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 1: them the way that she does. I believe that public

625
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: service is about serving the public. It's not about being

626
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: served by the public. So we see a clear contrast

627
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: on many different fronts. This is one of them. Respect freedom,

628
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: respect individual liberty. You give people information, they make their

629
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: own decisions. If you want to wear a mask, wear

630
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,919
Speaker 1: a mask. If you don't want to wear a mask,

631
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: don't wear a mask. But on day one, every last

632
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 1: COVID mandate that we can possibly get rid of as gone.

633
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: Leezeldon running for governor in New York congressons Elton, great

634
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: to have you, Chart, thanks for being with us. You

635
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: got next next time, Clay is Gavin Newsom gonna make

636
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: a run at it? Are the Democrats realizing that Biden

637
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have it in him. We got that and much

638
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: more coming up in a Rock and third hour stay

639
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: with US Play Travis and Buck Sexton on the front

640
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: lines of truth, m
