Speaker 2: Great things happening.

17
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 5: When it comes to Trump two point oh the next administration,

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 5: we're seeing more and more of his picks. We'll give

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 5: you the latest on who's going to be doing what why.

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 5: It matters what we know about these individuals. But this

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 5: is a Trump team that is assembling a collection of

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 5: all stars to be in top roles, to enact the agenda,

23
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 5: to dare I say, make America great again, to do

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 5: the best things possible for the future of this country.

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 5: You can pick your phrase, Clay, but it's looking really.

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: Good so far.

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 5: We'll break down where Pete hegsath Elon musk Vivek Ramaswami,

28
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 5: John Ratcliffe, where all of them are fitting, Where these

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 5: chessboard pieces are going as of the last twenty four hours.

30
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 5: I'm very encouraged by all this. I would tell you

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 5: if I wasn't. I think that this is really showing

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 5: you that they mean business with this administration.

33
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: There is there is no learning curve.

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 5: And that's important because, right, Clay, you agree, eighteen months,

35
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 5: they got eighteen months to do huge things. After that,

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 5: it all turns into, oh what about the midterms? And

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 5: then it turns into Trump's lame duck and eighteen months

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 5: to save the country. That has to be the mantra.

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 5: And maybe eighteen is too generous. It might be one year, right,

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: it might be twelve months.

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 3: And this is.

42
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 6: Where a lot of people said, Okay, how is Trump

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 6: two point zero going to be different than Trump one

44
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 6: point zero?

45
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: Buck? Trump one point oh was a holy crap. We won.

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 6: Now we have to figure out how to staff the

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 6: entire government. Trump was an outsider without traditional allies inside

48
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 6: of the government. And frankly, I think he would say

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 6: it was really difficult to know who you could trust

50
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 6: and who you should put in positions of power. Everything

51
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 6: that he's done so far, every announcement that he has made,

52
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 6: has suggested I'm the president and I'm putting people in

53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 6: who can make a tremendous difference for what I care about.

54
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 6: That's what the president should be doing. And there doesn't

55
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 6: seem to be any identity politics associated with this. It's

56
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 6: just Trump finding guys and gals that he believes are

57
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 6: full adherence to his policies that he is going to

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 6: put in place to execute the game plan that he

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 6: cares about the most. And I think it's seismically different already.

60
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 6: And how smooth he's been.

61
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: I love some of these picks.

62
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 5: You can go back. I mean, Clay and I. The

63
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 5: thing is, we tell you what we think and you

64
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 5: go back. You can listen. As a matter of public record.

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 5: In twenty sixteen, I was like, Trump is amazing. And

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 5: then some of the picks that he was making, I

67
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 5: was like, I don't know if that's who I go with,

68
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 5: but it's okay. You know, it's his call, his choice.

69
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: They have learned a lot you know, Susie Wiles is

70
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 5: very shrewd. She's looking for competency and loyalty together in

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: these picks. Now, let's get into some of the names. Okay,

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 5: we're giving you the broad strokes. The big one that

73
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 5: I got to tell you, Clay my phone it was

74
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 5: I was like, you know, did North Korea just invade

75
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: Santa Monica?

76
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 2: Like what is going on?

77
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 5: My phone goes nuts. All of a sudden, they say,

78
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 5: did you see about heg Seth? And now, fortunately I

79
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 5: know it's a point dee time, so I wasn't like,

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 5: oh my god, it's Pete okay, and everyone's saying, you

81
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: see about Hegzeth? Our friend, Pete Hegseeth, who is a

82
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 5: weekend host on Fox and Friends. Now, And before I

83
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 5: say anything else, a longtime veteran of the United States Army,

84
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 5: served in a rock served in Afghanistan, ser of the

85
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 5: Guantanamo Bay, went to Princeton, went to Harvard, worked on

86
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 5: veterans affairs. I just want to put that out there

87
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 5: right away, because the media is all Fox News host is,

88
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 5: you know, like they're doing the usual stuff. Pete Hegseth

89
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 5: has been named as Trump's appointee for Secretary of Defense.

90
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 5: I had veteran friends of mine and special operations guys

91
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 5: who were all saying, you know, Pete, I'm so excited.

92
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 5: You know he's up for this, right, like he's gonna

93
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 5: do amazing things. I said, absolutely, he's gonna he's gonna

94
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 5: do great things here.

95
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: So we can talk more about that one.

96
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 5: I think it's the one clay that the the the Democrats,

97
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 5: the system, the swamp is the most freaked out. Yeah,

98
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 5: so far right, I pretty clearly. I mean I started

99
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 5: my career in media in twenty eleven. That was when

100
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 5: I officially like got rid of I'm thinking that's when

101
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 5: my clearances lapsed, and you know, I left government. I

102
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 5: went to work for Glenn Beck's The Blaze and we

103
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: had a show called Real News, and one of our

104
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 5: most frequent panelists in those early days was Pete Hegsett.

105
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 5: So Pete and I go back a long ways. I

106
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 5: know you were with him just on election night, right,

107
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 5: I was with him for about seven hours on election night.

108
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: So it's funny.

109
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 6: I called you because I was picking up my kids

110
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 6: at school and my phone blew up, as it often

111
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 6: does not in the Hamask blow up way with text

112
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 6: messages about Pete, and obviously I work at Fox News.

113
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 3: I know Pete well, I was celebrating the.

114
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 6: Trump win with him, But if he knew that Defense

115
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 6: Secretary was in play, huge poker face. I mean, he

116
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 6: was just incredibly excited that Trump had gotten the win.

117
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 6: And I think it's super smart. He's been on this

118
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 6: show a bunch buck. I think he's gonna do a

119
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 6: really good job.

120
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: I'll put it to you this way. Also, first of all,

121
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: I know Pete very very high.

122
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 5: IQ absolutely loves veterans and loves our military. I mean

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 5: loves the men and women who serve. There's no question

124
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: about that. And veterans know this, and he has a

125
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 5: long history of so I know he'll be active in

126
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 5: the sense he'll be running the Pentagon. But people who

127
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: are in that family of the United States military, Pete,

128
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 5: Hegseth truly cares about them and wants to do great

129
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 5: things for those who are still serving. And by the way,

130
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 5: I haven't I don't think we've seen who the VA.

131
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 5: Who's gonna have the VA, But whoever that is, they'll

132
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 5: get whatever support they need, certainly from Pete and from Trumpet,

133
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 5: from the whole administration Clay. I had heard in back

134
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 5: channel previously that Pete was considered for Veterans Affairs, so

135
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 5: not you know, which the cabinet position. Was not surprising

136
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 5: to me that he was in the mix for a

137
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 5: an appointee slot like this. But Secretary of Defense. I

138
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 5: mean really, for most people, the big three are President,

139
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: Secretary Defense, Secretary of State.

140
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: In terms of appointments.

141
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 6: Attorney General I think is massively maybe because I'm a

142
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 6: lawyer and I'm a legal nerd like I think that

143
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 6: one is now bigger than it used to be and

144
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 6: looms larger in the minds of the public because Clay,

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 6: that used to be almost considered a nonpartisan like functionary position,

146
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 6: and now you know, you need a warrior. You need

147
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 6: somebody that will fight back against the forces of the

148
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 6: deep state and of the far left trying to weaponize

149
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 6: the law.

150
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 5: So that's critical. We haven't even gotten some of the

151
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 5: other appointments, and Clay, I'll just throw them out there.

152
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 5: I want to you know, you can, you can give

153
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 5: me your your quick reaction on these ones, not that

154
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 5: we can really do a quick one, because it's pretty

155
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 5: amazing elon.

156
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 6: Some broke braids that just happened. Buck John Thune has

157
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 6: been elected Senate Majority Leader. So Rick Scott came on

158
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 6: tried to make an argument it's a closed not public vote,

159
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 6: so I have not seen the numbers yet of how

160
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 6: the voting went to the extent that they're going to

161
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 6: publicly release that at all. But John Thune is replacing

162
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 6: Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader. Trump did not weigh

163
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 6: in interestingly and decide to say, put his finger on

164
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 6: the scale. He's already endorsed Mike Johnson for Speaker. But

165
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 6: that literally just breaking right now. I appreciate this. I

166
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 6: was being too positive and happy, not sounding enough like.

167
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 5: The e or that I can be, and so Clay

168
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 5: is bringing me back down to reality here with this

169
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 5: breaking news that Thune will be Senate Majority leader.

170
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: It should have been Rick Scott.

171
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 5: I let's just be this is not the time for

172
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 5: anyone to hold back on what they believe and what

173
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 5: they think, because the future of the country is so

174
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 5: much in play.

175
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: I don't get it.

176
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 5: Maybe we can invite on, We'll bite on Ted Cruz,

177
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 5: We'll invite on some senators that we know. I think

178
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: we'll be willing to at least explain how this process went.

179
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 5: I don't think they'll tell us about the secret vote

180
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 5: necessarily because it's secret. But to me, look, this isn't

181
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 5: it's not a It's disappointing, but I don't think it

182
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 5: should interrupt our flow here of well, it's interrupting the flow. Fine,

183
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 5: I don't know, Clay. You've made me sad. Now you

184
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 5: talked for a minute. I'm with that out publicly.

185
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 6: I don't think that I think Trump is going to

186
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 6: have so much power in terms of the number of

187
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 6: people that are pulling in the same direction for his

188
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 6: agenda that I don't think who Senate majority leader is

189
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 6: is going to dictate what is able and not able

190
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 6: to be passed. I do think that the senators there

191
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 6: feel like there are procedural hurdles and a learning curve

192
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 6: that they feel like John Thune is more capable of

193
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 6: managing than Rick Scott. I would have, probably if I

194
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 6: were in the Senate right now, voted for Rick Scott.

195
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 6: I probably would have if I were a senator right now.

196
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 6: I'm curious to see what the total vote reflects, because

197
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 6: I think he is more likely to support Trump.

198
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: And Trump just won a you know.

199
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 6: Pretty substantial election victory, and so we should do whatever

200
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 6: we can to make sure his policies are implemented.

201
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take us back into happy land here for

202
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 5: a second. Yes, it was breaking news, and Clay's right

203
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 5: to break in with it, so I give him full credit.

204
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 5: But okay, let's get to Elon and Elon and Vivek. Okay, yay,

205
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 5: Elon and Viveke. From a President Trump's statement on this,

206
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 5: I am pleased to announce that the great Elon Musk,

207
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 5: working in conjunction with American patriot Vivike Ramaswami, will leave

208
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 5: the Department of Government Efficiency Doze DOGE. Together these two

209
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 5: wonderful Americans will pave the way for my administration to

210
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 5: dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and

211
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: restructure federal agencies essential to these Save America movement. This

212
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 5: will send shock waves through the system and anyone involved

213
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 5: in government waste, which is a lot of people, according

214
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 5: to mister Musk Clay. After the deportation of criminal aliens,

215
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: and I think we need to start specifying that because

216
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 5: we're not going to be able to even look at

217
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 5: the cases of you know, kindly old grandmas who are

218
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 5: here illegal for years, no matter how fast we try

219
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 5: to ramp up deportation. So let's not get all caught

220
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 5: up in what will be a more difficult conversation or

221
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 5: more difficult situation right now. It can just be sending

222
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 5: people home to their home countries who are criminals, who

223
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 5: have done criminal stuff here or who have serious criminal

224
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 5: records when they entered. They've all got to go, Clay,

225
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 5: depending on the s and we're talking millions of people,

226
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 5: that would be millions of people, certainly a couple two

227
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 5: to three million. I don't even know what the full

228
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 5: estimates are. No one does right now, because it would

229
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 5: be everybody in custody who's in illegal as well as

230
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 5: anyone else who's floating around who should have been deported

231
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 5: under existing orders. No more sanctuary city crap. Sorry, I'm

232
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 5: getting divertic because I get excited about that subject. But Clay, Clay, This,

233
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 5: I think is number two. The Elon vivek Vivik mission

234
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 5: of truly training the swamp. This is they're showing up

235
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 5: like the guys that drain the pool at the end

236
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 5: of the season, to drain this swamp.

237
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 6: Both of these guys have run successful businesses. Elon arguably

238
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 6: is the most successful businessman in any of our lives.

239
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I think if you consider Tesla's SpaceX boring company,

240
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 6: what he's doing now with Twitter, no one else has

241
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 6: had as big of an impact in any of our

242
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 6: lives as what Elon is doing. And you have to

243
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 6: look at the government. I have said this for a while.

244
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 6: Easily half of all federal employees could be fired and

245
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 6: the government would work just as efficiently. I think numbers

246
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 6: probably seventy five percent. Buck they don't even bother going

247
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 6: into office. I mean, one of the things Trump's going

248
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 6: to have to do, I think when he returns is

249
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 6: just say, hey, if you're a federal employee, you have

250
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 6: to be here five days a week, and if you

251
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 6: don't show up five days a week, we're going to

252
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 6: fire you. I think that's an easy message to send.

253
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 5: I will tell you know my experience the CIA, and

254
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 5: I think we discussed this before the show, but any

255
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 5: was asking yes. Trump and I did have a conversation

256
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty about me being the cabinet appointee for

257
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 5: I think set it on the air with us that

258
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 5: he was having a CIA director. So I'm I'm I

259
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 5: am very committed to what we are doing right now.

260
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 5: But there was if anyone was wondering, yeah, we had

261
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 5: had talks before about that and when the President asked

262
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 5: you to come to the Oval office and discuss whether

263
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 5: you would serve the answer is yes.

264
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: But that was back in the day.

265
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 5: I am totally committed to what we're doing here now,

266
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 5: and this is the best way that I can help

267
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 5: the country, I think is to be a part of

268
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 5: Clay and Buck and what we're doing here on this show,

269
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 5: because I've gotten some emails and text messages Clay about this.

270
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 5: But now I just lost my train of thought. Where

271
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 5: was I a second ago? We were talking.

272
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 6: About the impact of what ELA and in the federal

273
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 6: government workforce and everything else.

274
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 5: My experience in the CIA was and look, I'll be

275
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 5: I wasn't there that long, but I and I briefed

276
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 5: the president a few times. I mean, I was pretty

277
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 5: damn good at what I did, and that was that

278
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 5: was widely recognized inside the building. I can tell you this, Clay,

279
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 5: ten percent of that building shouldn't be there because they're

280
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 5: actually against the mission, meaning that they're ideologically opposed to

281
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 5: particularly if there's a Republican administration, and it might even

282
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 5: be more like twenty percent, then call it. You know,

283
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 5: seventy or eighty percent are just showing up, and then

284
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 5: ten percent are the true public servants who view this

285
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 5: as a mission, as a calling, and they are badasses.

286
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,359
Speaker 5: Even in the CIA, my friends, there are people who

287
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 5: if you got to know them, you would realize, oh

288
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 5: my god, these guys and gals.

289
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: Are absolutely the real deal.

290
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 5: You know, go back and watch zero Dark thirty, like,

291
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 5: those people exist and they are real. But Clay to

292
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 5: the point about elon very small percent of the whole,

293
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 5: very small percent of the whole.

294
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 6: We'll come back and talk a little bit more about

295
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 6: the Senate Majority Leader vote. There are some reports out

296
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 6: there about how the vote tally went, and we'll discuss

297
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 6: that and more.

298
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: Obviously, Trump is in DC.

299
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 6: We'll keep rolling in the event that there's any public

300
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 6: availability there. Conquering hero landing and being back after the

301
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 6: biggest victory for any Republican since nineteen eighty eight, it's

302
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 6: got to feel pretty.

303
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 3: Good when you land there at Reagan National Airport.

304
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 6: There's a company in Michigan making a name for themselves

305
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 6: by making old school walkie talkies with a modern twist

306
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 6: for adults called rapid radios. They allow you to keep

307
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 6: in touch with people nationwide with the touch of a button.

308
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 6: Rapid Radios walkie talkies work on a nationwide LTE network

309
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 6: and hold a charge for up to five days. Think

310
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 6: about that when you contemplate what it would be like

311
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 6: during an extended power outage and what that could mean

312
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,520

324
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 6: are still not in from California.

325
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: Buck.

326
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 6: We're sitting here at eight days and this morning when

327
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 6: I checked only seventy nine percent of the votes were in.

328
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 6: But Trump has now gone to a different level of

329
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 6: support than any Republican has ever received. As we are

330
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 6: talking right now, he's approaching seventy six million million votes,

331
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 6: seems likely to get seventy seven or seventy eight million,

332
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 6: somewhere in that range before the counting stops. Can we

333
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 6: talk about the fact that Kamala Harris is going to

334
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 6: get seven million less votes than Joe Biden did in

335
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 6: twenty twenty. Anybody out there maybe wondering, Hey, what happened

336
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 6: that Kamala Harris is getting nowhere near the vote tally

337
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 6: that she got that Democrats got in twenty twenty. I

338
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 6: think maybe it's worth putting a pin in and asking

339
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 6: were they able to take advantage of COVID and ballot

340
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 6: harvest in a way that they have not been able to.

341
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: Do since COVID.

342
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 6: I think that's the only takeaway you can have as

343
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 6: voting is going to be down overall. I do want

344
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 6: to give you credit, Buck, and I believe we have

345
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 6: some audio. The total black mail vote appears to have

346
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 6: come in under twenty five percent. We did have at

347
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 6: one point a bet over what the total would be

348
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 6: and then Biden dropped This is a long running bet,

349
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 6: and then Biden dropped out, and then we had to

350
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 6: reconsider and recontemplate. I think the other two things that

351
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 6: we're still outstanding was what's the black vote going to be?

352
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 6: And are we going to end up with more or

353
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 6: less votes in twenty twenty four than we had in

354
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 6: twenty twenty looks like the total number of votes is

355
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 6: going to be down, but according to some early reports, Buck,

356
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 6: twenty one percent of black men voted for Trump. Now

357
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 6: there's been a varying percentage tally here, but the crew

358
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 6: wanted to make sure that they grabbed this, so I

359
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 6: before I'm out, Buck Scott Solo show Thursday Friday, Before

360
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 6: I head out, I wanted to give Buck his flowers

361
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 6: here if we could play. The data is still a

362
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 6: little bit uncertain, in my defense, but here is that

363
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 6: discussion as it appears that it's going to be either

364
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 6: a little bit below somewhere below twenty five percent.

365
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: Here's that discussion.

366
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 6: One of the wagers, what would the percentage of the

367
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 6: black mail vote be for Trump? You think he gets

368
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 6: twenty five percent? That's what I said when he was

369
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 6: going against Biden.

370
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 2: Are you.

371
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 5: Are you doubling down on this one or I have

372
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 5: to allow you to walk away because it's a different

373
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 5: fighter now in the ring.

374
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: I am going to I'm gonna double down on WHOA.

375
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm not as confident to take take the other

376
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 6: side of this one.

377
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 5: We'll make this a stake in twenty twenty five to

378
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 5: spread these out. I'll take I don't think Trump gets

379
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 5: twenty five percent of the black mail vote, Okay, so.

380
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 6: The numbers right now are twenty one percent. I will

381
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 6: put just one star here, buck. Our friend Ryan Gerdusky

382
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 6: has said we should wait for the official Pew data

383
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: because there are conflicting exit polls. But you would be

384
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 6: a favorite in the clubhouse right now having posted a

385
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 6: low score. If this were a golf match. It doesn't

386
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 6: look like it's going to get to twenty five. Did

387
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 6: get over twenty though.

388
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 5: Look first of all, I'm not even you know what

389
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not even feeling like this is some

390
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 5: huge victory. I still I still am strutting my stuff

391
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 5: over the jd Vance pick because nobody was saying that,

392
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 5: and I nailed that one, and Avern's like jd Vance

393
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 5: the future after Trump of maga, and I'm like, I

394
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 5: told you, I told you, But on this one, Clay, look,

395
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 5: I think you get credit for seeing the trajectory overall.

396
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 5: I mean, yes, technically I wasn't even gonna play that audio.

397
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 5: But see, Clay, I want to audience, that's right. Yeah,

398
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 5: he's he's a betting man, so I gave him a

399
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 5: lot of credit for coming very close. And sure enough,

400
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 5: if it does break that twenty five percent, well then

401
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 5: you know, then I'll get Clay a steak. Probably be

402
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 5: in d C for Inauguration week. I think that's the

403
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 5: next time we'll be able to do some steak. So

404
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 5: there we go. So I'll let Clay buy me a

405
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 5: steak freak at Shape Billy Suit, which is my favorite

406
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 5: bistro in Washington, d C. But I would say this

407
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 5: the overall this was actually more of just my sense

408
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 5: the overall black vote though because of black black women

409
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 5: I don't think move very much at all, which was

410
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: always my contention that the black vote as a whole

411
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 5: for Republicans. Every election cycle, we get all excited because

412
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 5: I want ninety percent of black I mean, I want

413
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: one hundred percent of Black Americans voting Republican. But we

414
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 5: get very excited, we think we're going to do better

415
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 5: with overall the black vote, and it just doesn't seem

416
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 5: to materialize. So what's the I think what did Trump get?

417
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 5: Did he break double digits on the overall black vote

418
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 5: was an eleven.

419
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 6: I think he gained black vote overall, but you're right,

420
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: the reason didn't explode very very.

421
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 5: Small gain though as a percentage. I mean we're talking

422
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 5: the black male vote considerable the black female vote. Actually,

423
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 5: I think Kamala did better with than Biden. If you're

424
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 5: breaking it up by gender, I think.

425
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 6: You may well be right, which is why the biggest

426
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 6: takeaway to me of the Identity Politics coalition black women

427
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 6: are still strongly, almost uniformly, voting for Democrats everybody else.

428
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 6: I think one of the lessons I saw this data

429
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 6: and I thought it was really very striking, and it

430
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 6: makes arguing, oh, Trump's racist such an even more difficult argument.

431
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: This is the.

432
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 6: Least racially polarized race that we have had in the

433
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 6: country in fifty years.

434
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 3: I'm surprised that.

435
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 6: Again, if you want a positive, optimistic takeaway from aside

436
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 6: from Trump one, and he's going to win the most

437
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 6: votes ever for Republican best win since eighty eight. But

438
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 6: if you were out there, I know we got a

439
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 6: massive amount. If you're out there listening in your Hispanic

440
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 6: or you're Black, or you're Asian, or you're white, whatever

441
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 6: your race is. While they have tried to tear us

442
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 6: all apart in the media by talking about white supremacy

443
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 6: and racist police officers and defund the police and everything else,

444
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 6: this is the least racially polarized election in fifty years.

445
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 3: Buck.

446
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 6: I take that as a really really good sign for America.

447
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 6: And some of you who are history people will say, Okay,

448
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 6: what was going on back then? Remember, black people voted

449
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 6: Republican in substantial numbers because Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves

450
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 6: for a long time. And really it was only in

451
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 6: the wake of the Civil Rights Movement that the black

452
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 6: vote moved overwhelmingly to the Democrat Party. So we're going

453
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 6: back in time to a really different era of America.

454
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 6: And I am cautiously optimistic that there are a lot

455
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 6: of American patriots out there, regardless of your skin color,

456
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 6: that have looked around and said, I want America to

457
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 6: be great, and we can't do that if we're buying

458
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 6: into identity politics from the Democrat Party. So again, there

459
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 6: are lots of reasons to be optimistic. I told you

460
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 6: guys how optimistic I am about young men of all

461
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 6: races saving America in the generation ahead, because I think

462
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 6: they're going to be moving even more into the republic

463
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 6: can camp and I'll give you another story on this buck.

464
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 6: Anecdotes are not evidence of the truth, right, but they

465
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 6: can be a way to examine larger cultural trends. And

466
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 6: that's what I try to do when I use an anecdote.

467
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 6: About a year ago, maybe it was two years ago,

468
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 6: I was walking into Target and one of my sons

469
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 6: we were walking through, and he said, Dad, there are

470
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 6: girl power shirts everywhere in Target. I said, yeah, you know,

471
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 6: that's right, Like there's lots of girl power, yay girls

472
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 6: everything that Target was selling. He said, how come there

473
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 6: are never any boy power shirts? And you know, I,

474
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 6: again had never really thought about it, but I think

475
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 6: there are a lot of young men. If you're a

476
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 6: boy mom out there, if you've got grandsons, there are

477
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 6: a lot of young boys that are growing up now

478
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 6: and they're saying they're they're twelve years old and they're

479
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 6: being told that men are the problem in America and

480
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 6: looking around and saying, what's wrong with being a boy,

481
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 6: what's wrong with growing up and being a man. We

482
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 6: have created this whole girl power yay universe over I

483
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 6: would say, the last twenty or so years, and that's great.

484
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 6: Girls should be able to grow up and be wildly

485
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 6: successful in this country.

486
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: But you don't have to tear.

487
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 6: Down boys to elevate girls. And I think a lot

488
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 6: of boys all over America, White, Black, Asian, Hispanic feel

489
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 6: like in school that they are being not treated fairly

490
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 6: and that girls have been elevated above them. And this

491
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: is something that I think if you're forty my age,

492
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 6: you don't really think about as much. If you're sixty,

493
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 6: you probably don't think about as much. But I'm telling

494
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 6: you these young boys out there, these kids that are

495
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 6: let's say eight to twenty, this is a big deal.

496
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: In their world.

497
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 6: And I think what you saw, Buck was a lot

498
00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 6: of young men saying, hey, I'm voting Republican because we're

499
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 6: failing a lot and we're tearing down men and young

500
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 6: boys in an effort to elevate girls.

501
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: And that's just not right.

502
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 6: And if you look at the data, Buck, sixty percent

503
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 6: of all college grads are female. Now men are not

504
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 6: graduating from college taking ap courses having as much success

505
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 6: as women.

506
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 5: You remember, this is what I was saying that exact

507
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 5: you know, data set. I started talking about it on

508
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 5: Bill Maher and the Democrat guest next to me was like,

509
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 5: how dare you we talk about the troubles of men?

510
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 5: And I looked at her. I said, well, this is

511
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 5: why Kamala's going to lose. And I'm not saying I'm

512
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: a prophet, although maybe i am. It was very obvious

513
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 5: that this is what was going on. There's something rotten

514
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 5: in the ideology of a Democrat party, or there's a

515
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 5: lot of things that are rotten, but there's something rotten

516
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 5: specifically on the issue of men and masculinity. And I'm

517
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 5: just going to say within the black and Latino community

518
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 5: of men, yes.

519
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: They don't.

520
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 5: They don't have to sit there and get a lectured

521
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 5: to the same way on some of these issues as

522
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 5: white liberals will do to other white liberals.

523
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?

524
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 5: There's a little more of like excuse me, Like I'm

525
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 5: not going to sit here and have some progressive software

526
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 5: designer from San Francisco who's making four hundred thousand dollars

527
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 5: a year. Tell me, as a black man living in

528
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 5: the South, Tell me, as a Latino man living in

529
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 5: South Florida or Texas, that my daughter can have men

530
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 5: smashing the volleyball in her face.

531
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying?

532
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 5: It's there's a dynamic there where they're just they just

533
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 5: don't want to hear it. And the Democrats didn't figure

534
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 5: this out. And they can't morally blackmail their own minority

535
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 5: mail communities the way they can other white liberals, which

536
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 5: is what's going on.

537
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 6: And this also is a function of It starts off

538
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 6: as white men are evil, which is where they started

539
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 6: in their Identity Politics coalition, but soon it moves into

540
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 6: masculinity itself as toxic. And that's why this ad Buck

541
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 6: she for them, he's for us that if you watch

542
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 6: a football game, that thing was on it felt like

543
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 6: every commercial break. And what's interesting about this Buck to

544
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 6: me is you know who that ad did so well with?

545
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 6: Black men, Hispanic men, white moms in the suburbs tested

546
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 6: off the charts with that group. How often do you

547
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 6: hit black men, Hispanic men, and white moms in the

548
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 6: suburbs with an ad that speaks to them so well.

549
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 6: It's because a lot of white women who have children

550
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 6: saw that and said, I don't want my girls having

551
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 6: to play against boys. I don't want men in their

552
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 6: locker rooms. And it's universal. I think of how things

553
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 6: are lost, and I hear from a lot of moms

554
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 6: now they're not worried about their girls. You know, they

555
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 6: try to turn abortion into the issue. Girls are dominating

556
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 6: in higher education, girls are dominating in high school. I

557
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 6: think what a lot of people are recognizing is actually

558
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 6: boys are the ones that we tore down to elevate girls.

559
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: And men feel it. Young boys feel it.

560
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 6: I don't know that they verbalize it very much, but

561
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 6: they verbalized it in terms of the vote when they

562
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 6: showed up in record numbers last week.

563
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 5: Not to keep reference to theot Bill Marthy, but I

564
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 5: just think it's funny because we did touch on some

565
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 5: of these issues right before the election. Of the election

566
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 5: showed how important was Clay. Remember they asked me, you know,

567
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 5: Bill said in masculinity, you know there are good traits

568
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 5: to masculinity, and I said, yeah, you know, courage, strength,

569
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 5: risk taking. And sure enough, Democrats on the panel, are

570
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 5: you saying women can't and this is the This is

571
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 5: the mania from the left that masculinity cannot have anything

572
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 5: good that is notably masculine, and therefore masculinity has to

573
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 5: be a collection of.

574
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: Toxic, negative traits. They have no way around this.

575
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 6: They don't understand that men and women can both be

576
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 6: successful innately in their sex without it being a power struggle,

577
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 6: because everything in their world is the oppression Olympics in.

578
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 5: Orders gender Marxism. It's like race Marxism. Everything is your

579
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 5: group is oppressing my group, and my group needs to

580
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 5: be we're victims, so then we get to oppress your

581
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 5: group because of what you victimize. I mean this, it

582
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 5: is a recipe for the implosion of society. And fortunately,

583
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 5: by a nice solid majority the American people said, nah,

584
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 5: we're not in.

585
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 6: On that, and not just one group, the least racially

586
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 6: polarized electorate in fifty years. Lots of good people of

587
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 6: all different backgrounds said enough. You know.

588
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 5: The other thing is too clay that the left spends

589
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 5: so much time talking about how racis. First of all,

590
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 5: the sexism thing. Trump won. I think he won all

591
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 5: married women across the board. I think you want a

592
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 5: majority of white women across the board get married, unmarried.

593
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 5: So the sexism thing is just this is just trash

594
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 5: from feminists who were unhappy and made.

595
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: Bad life choices. Just put that aside.

596
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 5: But on the race thing, every Republican, I know, I'm sorry,

597
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 5: I know I'm running over time here, but it's really

598
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 5: I feel very passionately about this because this has been

599
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 5: since I was sixteen years old.

600
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 2: This has been sort of a narrative that's out there.

601
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: Every Republican that I know is so happy and so enthused.

602
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 5: About more of the Black vote being Republican, more of

603
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 5: the Latino vote being Republican, more of the Asian vote

604
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 5: being Republican. This notion that we wanted to be some

605
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 5: white monolith party is just the biggest lie of all.

606
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 5: I agree, it's a massive, massive, nasty lie that I

607
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 5: think Americans are rejecting. When I see these data points,

608
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 5: I get really happy and optimistic about where we're going.

609
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 3: I think we may be able to make America great again.

610
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 6: If you're charity minded, you know how carefully you make

611
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 6: decisions on where and how you choose to donate your money.

612
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 6: Same should be true for companies that want to support charities.

613
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 6: What we started with Crockett coffee was we want to

614
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 6: donate the tuntel to Towers because we believe so much

615
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,719
Speaker 6: about what they're doing. Pure Talk's another company making substantial

616
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 6: donations to support veterans. For example, puretalk has taken away

617
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 6: ten million dollars in veteran debt every month, they donate

618
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 6: tens of thousands of dollars to help prevent veteran suicide,

619
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 6: and they just donated fifty grand to Mike Rowe Works,

620
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 6: organization for scholarships for veterans lead learning trades after active duty.

621
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 6: When you switch yourself on service to Puretalk, your dollars

622
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 6: support a cause that you can care about. At half

623
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,080

666
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get a chance to talk about some out today.

667
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 6: It's good.

668
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 8: Welcome, Thank you, Jenny, thank you very much. And politics

669
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 8: is tough, and it's many cases not a very nice world.

670
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 8: But it is a nice world today and I appreciate

671
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 8: it very much. A transition that's so smooth. It'll be

672
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 8: as smooth as it can get. And I very much

673
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 8: appreciate that.

674
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: Jent you all, thank you all all right over you on.

675
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: I have a sports analogy for you here.

676
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 5: This is two fighters who have gone the full distance,

677
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 5: thrown everything they have at each other. Trump won, He's

678
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 5: had his you know, gloves raised in the air, but

679
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 5: he's actually going over and giving a hug to a

680
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 5: worthy opponent here afterwards, That's what it looked like a

681
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 5: little bit to me. It's like, all right, I won,

682
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 5: but you fought hard, and there's some that comes with

683
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,720
Speaker 5: fighting hard, even if you're Joe Biden.

684
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 6: I think that's a good analogy. Trump has talked to

685
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 6: The New York Post already, and there are some quotes

686
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 6: here Buck that I think you'll enjoy.

687
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 3: This just popped in the last few minutes.

688
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 6: He told the New York Post that the that he

689
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 6: and Biden quote both really enjoyed seeing each other. You know,

690
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 6: it's been long, long slog. It's been a lot of

691
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 6: work on both sides. He did a very good job

692
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 6: with respect to campaigning and everything else. We really had

693
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 6: a good meeting. These are quotes from Trump on meeting Biden.

694
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 6: He also said, let's see that he and Biden discussed

695
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 6: Ukraine and also what should happen.

696
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 3: I asked for his views.

697
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 6: He gave them to me, and we talked very much

698
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 6: about the Middle East. I wanted to know his views

699
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 6: on where we are and what he thinks, and he

700
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 6: gave them to me. He was very gracious. Okay, this

701
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 6: is Trump being nice. This is Biden being nice a

702
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 6: week ago, Trump was hitler. Now, Buck, there are pictures

703
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 6: of both men smiling in front of a roaring fireplace.

704
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:08,760
Speaker 3: In the White House.

705
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 6: Here's my thing that I wish many of you out

706
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 6: there would understand, but particularly a lot of leftists who

707
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 6: are never going to hear this. The people telling you

708
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 6: that he was hitler never actually believed it. They said

709
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 6: it because it was politically expedient. Now it's one thing

710
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 6: for them to show how quickly. I mean, if you

711
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 6: really thought Trump was Hitler, you wouldn't talk about how

712
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 6: important it was to have a smooth transition. You wouldn't

713
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 6: talk about how you're glad that American democracy has had

714
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 6: a voice. You would say, somebody needs to kill this

715
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 6: guy or else he's going to destroy the world. That's

716
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 6: not what they're saying because they never actually believed it.

717
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 6: But here's the problem, Buck, they don't tell they're moro

718
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 6: on followers out there, who were trying to kill Trump,

719
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 6: who were shaving off all their heads, who were saying

720
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,439
Speaker 6: that they're not going to have kids, who were saying

721
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 6: that they're not going to sleep with their significant others anymore.

722
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 6: They are allowing their mental health instability to be taken

723
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 6: what they're saying about him being Hitler at face value,

724
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 6: as if it's true. They don't have the ability or

725
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 6: the willingness to turn off the election season. Because I

726
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 6: really think this, and I hate to say it, I

727
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 6: think a solid twenty percent of America, overwhelmingly on the left,

728
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 6: has profound mental illness, and Democrats are preying on that

729
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 6: mental illness in an effort to drive up turnout to

730
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 6: the best of their ability, even though they know what

731
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 6: they're saying about Trump isn't true.

732
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 2: I think that this is inescapable, is the conclusion.

733
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 7: Now.

734
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: It's why I.

735
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 5: CNN and MSNBC and the ratings are dropping, because even

736
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 5: those audiences have had to reckon with They were lied

737
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 5: to about the prospects of Kamala winning, they were lied

738
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 5: to about the horror of a Trump victory. They they

739
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 5: should be if I were an msn you know what, Clay,

740
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 5: I am an MSNBC.

741
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: You are You're your your wheelhouse, that's you know.

742
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 5: I'm I'm like sitting there drinking my crack at coffee,

743
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 5: watching Morning Joe just to see how they're trying to

744
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,719
Speaker 5: destroy the republic. But if I were ideologically aligned with them.

745
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 5: If I actually believe this stuff instead of watched it

746
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 5: for some kind of like, you know, the weird pleasure

747
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 5: I get out of seeing these lunatics make fools of themselves,

748
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 5: I would be very disappointed in the way that they

749
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 5: have presented pretty much everything in this campaign. I mean,

750
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 5: let's not forget, just to name one, Joe Scarborough earlier

751
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 5: this year said that Joe Biden was not just sharp,

752
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 5: but the sharpest he's ever been. You can't come back,

753
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 5: you can't come back from that lie. If anyone, anybody

754
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 5: with a high IQ who cares about accountability and credibility

755
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 5: knows that Joe Scarborough is a fraud, an absolute fraud,

756
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 5: will say absolutely anything. And it's true of a lot

757
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 5: of others over there as well. I think that Trump

758
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 5: is moving things in a direction right now where it

759
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 5: will be very hard for them. In the anti Trump media.

760
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 5: You know, CNN should have stayed where it was center left.

761
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 5: It was center left. Now it wasn't center, but it

762
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 5: was you know, everything to the left of center. But

763
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 5: in you know, some people that weren't completely insane, it

764
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 5: went full left wing under Trump term one because of

765
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 5: Jeff Zucker and his personal feud with Trump, so he

766
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 5: turned it into an anti It was like the death

767
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 5: Star of anti trump Ism, and we all know what

768
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 5: happened to the death star. So I think Clay this

769
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 5: time around, they're going to have to do a total

770
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 5: reshuffling of how they cover these things because Trump is

771
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 5: going to do good things, including some of the picks

772
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 5: that he's made. I wanted to bring us back to

773
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 5: that for a second. Look the CIA director, that's mostly

774
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 5: going to be a clean up and streamlining job. I

775
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 5: think under Trump term two and this has gone to Ratcliffe,

776
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 5: and I think that that's a strong pick. He was

777
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 5: d and I before he knows the intel community, the

778
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 5: intel community, and I come from it. I know what

779
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 5: I'm talking about. Under the War on Terror, Rubric Clay

780
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 5: got so big that it turned It's almost like Skynet

781
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 5: and Terminator two when it became self aware. The intelligence

782
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 5: bureaucracy got so big and so just bloated, and it's

783
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 5: able to hide so much of what it does from

784
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 5: real scrutiny under classification that it needs a dramatic remodeling.

785
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 5: And that means some of the load bearing walls are

786
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 5: actually gonna have to get gonna get got you know

787
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 5: what I mean, they're gonna have to swing some sledgehammers here.

788
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 5: I think he's the right man for that job. Elon

789
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 5: and vivag in the government accountability or sorry, government whatever

790
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 5: is it called DOGE Department of Government Accountability DOGE a

791
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 5: Department of Government efficiency rather DOGE. I think they're going

792
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 5: to do a really good job. And then you also

793
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 5: have Pete hagg Seth. This was the one that's got

794
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 5: them completely freaking out. Let's remind everybody of some whiz

795
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 5: them from Rush Clay. The team pulled this. When you're

796
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 5: talking about the Pentagon, you're not necessarily talking about warriors

797
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 5: at the top. You're talking about politicians and bureaucrats. Here's

798
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 5: what Rush said years ago, seeing this for what it was.

799
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 9: Player all kinds of generals and leaders in the Pentagon,

800
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 9: warrior generals, politically correct generals, others that are devoted entirely

801
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 9: to the bureaucracy. They're more concerned we're doing what they've

802
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 9: got to do to climb the Pentagon ladder of success,

803
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 9: rather than actually be warrior.

804
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 5: Generals play the same thing. The CIA, by the way, accurate.

805
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 5: And I think Pete Hegseath is going to go in

806
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 5: there and shake it up. I don't even think it's

807
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 5: unique to Pentagon.

808
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 6: I think it's just aid CIA. It's the same thing

809
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 6: I tell you, as you said, I don't even think

810
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 6: it's unique to government. There are tons of people in

811
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 6: every employment imaginable that don't do what's best for the organization.

812
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 6: They play the politics that leads to their advancement the best.

813
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 6: Every one of you listening to us right now, if

814
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 6: I asked you, you could say, oh, yeah, that's so

815
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 6: and so who has worked alongside of you don't care

816
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 6: at all about the right decisions being made by the

817
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 6: business or the entity that you're working for. They are

818
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 6: just trying to advance themselves the best in their ability.

819
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 6: What's the great line about the faculty lounge in at universities.

820
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 6: It's something along the lines of never have so many

821
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 6: tried so hard for something that is worth so little meaning.

822
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 6: If you're the head of the Romance languages at Swarthmore,

823
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 6: you are just fighting tooth and nail to advance, like

824
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 6: is it gonna be the Italian professor or is it

825
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 6: going to be the French professor who manages to chair

826
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 6: the department? Nobody frigging cares. But they're knifing each other

827
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 6: proverbially in back alleys inside of these universities. To chair

828
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 6: the Romance language is not at all caring about whether

829
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 6: the overall university is advancing in any way. It's climbing

830
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 6: that career ladder at a just.

831
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 3: A little bit higher rung.

832
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 6: And I don't mean trying to found something that would

833
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 6: otherwise not exist like Elon. I mean in existing institutions,

834
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 6: because I think startups and I think new businesses are

835
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 6: very different. That's why I don't like working at fusty

836
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 6: old organizations buying large butt, because it's so frustrating because

837
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 6: so many people are just trying to preserve whatever they

838
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 6: have as opposed to trying to build something new kind.

839
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 5: I want to add to a little perspective, you know again,

840
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 5: Clay having worked in a massive federal bureaucracy twice of

841
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 5: western federal biocraty twice, I'm so bad.

842
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:51,879
Speaker 3: I don't think I could do it. I would lose

843
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 3: my mind.

844
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 5: I worked in the CIA, which for government is leaning mean,

845
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 5: just to be clear, like CIA, when I was there,

846
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 5: they were I mean, they were getting like something like

847
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 5: hundreds of thousands of applications a year.

848
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: To work there. I mean, it's just insane. Like CIA was.

849
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 5: Remember it's post nine to eleven, the post nine eleven CIA.

850
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 5: Everybody was like, oh my gosh, all hands on deck.

851
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of people military, but a lot

852
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,280
Speaker 5: of people want to go in and find in laden

853
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 5: and that's what the CIA's job was. But I'll say this,

854
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 5: it's you know, we we don't.

855
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 2: Want to be because I know we have a lot

856
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 2: of government people listen to us.

857
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 5: And as I said, there's a portion of these different entities,

858
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 5: especially when you're talking about anything in the national security

859
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 5: realm or the patriot badasses that we want in those places.

860
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 5: And whether that's FBI or CIA or you know, obviously

861
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 5: anywhere in the DoD complex. That is reality and we

862
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 5: never want to lose sight of that. And maybe it's

863
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 5: more like twenty percent in some of these entities. Fine,

864
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 5: But Clay, having worked in these places, it's not always

865
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 5: the fault, especially for the kind of that for the

866
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,240
Speaker 5: mid performers, you know, for the for the big lump

867
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 5: in the middle. They make it impossible to be excellent.

868
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 5: Culture of these places excellence. I used to say this

869
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 5: to my friends in the CIA. When I was in

870
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 5: the CIA, excellence is punished. You're not supposed to be excellent.

871
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 5: You're supposed to do what the heck you're told by

872
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 5: the person immediately above you. So your performance review says,

873
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 5: I do what I'm told.

874
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 2: Now.

875
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 5: I can't speak to the military side. We have a

876
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 5: huge military audience. You guys can speak to that. But

877
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 5: on the intel side, there's the restructuring of these places.

878
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 5: There's a lot of human capital, a lot of human

879
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 5: talent in these entities. You know, some people have just

880
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 5: got to go. This is not for them. Put that aside.

881
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 5: There are other people where if you had someone like

882
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 5: an Elon look at what's really going on and unleash them.

883
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:46,759
Speaker 5: State agencies, federal agencies, we do need government. We're not lunatics,

884
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 5: they would do. I mean, what I'm saying is you

885
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 5: can create more high performers with a change in culture too.

886
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 5: I don't think we should forget that part of this

887
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 5: as well. There are people who if the CIA had

888
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 5: been a little less bureaucratic and stifling, they'd still be

889
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 5: their clay and they were badasses, brilliant patriots, great people

890
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 5: in general. If you move fast and break things, you

891
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 5: don't work very well in a bureaucracy, and that's where

892
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 5: I'm kind of intrigued to see how Elon and Vivek

893
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 5: are going to fit in in terms of their government

894
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 5: efficiency movements. Government is the is the foundation of inefficiency,

895
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 5: and so when you have someone like an Elon or

896
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 5: a Vivek who wants to move fast and break things,

897
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 5: I'm curious how that discordant connection is going to work

898
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 5: and just how many roadblocks are going to be put

899
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,399
Speaker 5: up from them being able to do what's actually best

900
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 5: for the country. I view this as Trump's got it

901
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 5: on the tax I mean, and I don't want to

902
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:43,919
Speaker 5: be dismissive of this, like, oh, that's no big deal.

903
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 5: But Trump's got it on taxes and trade policy, and

904
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 5: entrepreneurs are all so excited and M and A activity

905
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 5: is going to be up, and your wages are going

906
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 5: to go up and prices are going to go down.

907
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 5: We almost take that, I mean, just to given says

908
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 5: of how spoiled we are by this victory, I think

909
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 5: we almost take that, for granted, Clay, but the big

910
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 5: hills that have to be taken, the deportation mission of

911
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 5: criminal illegals, and this government efficiency streamlining because that's a

912
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 5: part of dealing with our deficit, of dealing with our debt,

913
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,760
Speaker 5: of starting to move in that direction, which I understand

914
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 5: that is a massive mountain, that is thirty six trillion dollars, right,

915
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 5: but this is absolutely critical, critical stuff. So we're gonna

916
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 5: be following that part of the mission very closely. We're

917
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 5: also going to follow the mission to defend life very closely.

918
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 5: And so many of you have stepped up, and I mean,

919
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 5: I am personally grateful because you know, I've sat down

920
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 5: with the founders of Preborn and I've looked into their

921
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 5: eyes and they've looked into mind, and they know that

922
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 5: there is a sense that this is a mission from

923
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 5: God to protect as many babies as possible. And that's

924
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 5: how I feel about this. That's how they feel every day.

925
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 5: That's how their staffs view their mission. And these Preborn clinics,

926
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 5: here's what they do. There are women out there who

927
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 5: are in a difficult situation of different stories about this.

928
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,439
Speaker 5: Some of them get tremendous pressure, perhaps from they would

929
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 5: be father, perhaps from their families, or perhaps they just

930
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 5: don't think they have the resources to know how They're

931
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 5: scared and they're pregnant, they go into a preborn clinic

932
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 5: and you know what, they get love, support and help.

933
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 5: The first thing that preborn does. They say, look, before

934
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 5: you make any decision about life for your baby, we're

935
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 5: going to give you a free ultrasound. We're just gonna

936
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 5: give you an ultrasound. You can see the baby. And

937
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 5: when the mom sees that little heartbeat, overwhelmingly she just

938
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 5: realizes this is a tiny child. I want to have

939
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 5: my baby, and it is a beautiful thing. And that's

940
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 5: not the end of it, of course, that's just the beginning.

941
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 5: Those ultrasounds from their preborn for two years leading up

942
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 5: to birth, of course, but then two years after birth,

943
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 5: they will give support, food, medicine, job s, arch assistance, counseling,

944
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 5: whatever they can do to help those moms to be

945
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 5: become moms with their little boy or little girl. It's

946
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 5: amazing and so many of you have stepped up and donated,

947
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 5: and we're so grateful, and I know there are many

948
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 5: of you out there who are just waiting for the

949
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 5: right opportunity and maybe that's today. An ultrasound that you

950
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 5: can sponsor is just twenty eight dollars one hundred and

951
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 5: forty dollars would sponsor five ultrasounds. Now that could very

952
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 5: well lead to in a few years, you know, five

953
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 5: little boys and girls running around living their lives. This

954
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 5: is what Preborn's mission is. To donate. Dial pound two

961
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 5: are in an official Oh get ready for it.

962
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 2: We need some kind of like happy music to play

963
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 2: in the background. Woo Trump won the presidency. We know

964
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 2: that won THEND It for Republicans.

965
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:05,439
Speaker 5: We know that House of Representatives officially now called Republican

966
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 5: the trifecta of my friends, the Big Three, the Presidency,

967
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 5: the Senate, the House of Representatives, Republicans in control of government.

968
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 5: You love to see it. Very exciting stuff. It's gonna

969
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 5: be a two seat pickup.

970
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 6: It looks like it's gonna be Yeah, it looks like

971
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 6: it's gonna be two twenty two.

972
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 3: You need two eighteen for a majority.

973
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

974
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 6: I believe according to our Crew in New York Right

975
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 6: now there are some open seats, but Republicans had two

976
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 6: twenty so it looks like two twenty two is going

977
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,040
Speaker 6: to be the new number, which is basically a plus two,

978
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 6: a status quo election. In fact, Democrats will have done

979
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 6: better in the House than they would have in the

980
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 6: national popular vote.

981
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 3: Just fyi, but.

982
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 6: Again key component here, House, Senate, White House, a clean sweep,

983
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 6: a red wave or even red tsunami. Me if you

984
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 6: would for Donald Trump with his three hundred and twelve

985
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 6: electoral votes now complete control of the House and Senate too.

986
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 5: A little spiking the football here via numbers with Harry

987
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 5: entin Over at CNN. In terms of the Trump numbers

988
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 5: across liberal cities, this has cut thirteen.

989
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 2: Listen to this.

990
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 10: Donald Trump put up the best Republican performance for a

991
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 10: Republican nominee for president and at least twenty years, if

992
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 10: not the entire twenty first century. We're talking about Chicago,

993
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 10: Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco.

994
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 2: Across the map.

995
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 10: Donald Trump put up historically strong numbers for Republican candidate

996
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 10: for president in places that truthfully, if you had asked

997
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 10: me eight years ago, I would have never thought possible.

998
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 6: No, I mean it is really stunning.

999
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 2: So what exactly is driving what's driving it?

1000
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 10: You know, I think immigration was part of it, but

1001
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 10: I think crime is a big part of it as well.

1002
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 10: What you see is the dissatisfaction number now versus a

1003
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 10: decade ago. Look at that the unsatisfied number from thirty

1004
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 10: five percent to fifty eight percent. The satisfied numbers dropped

1005
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:01,720
Speaker 10: by twenty points.

1006
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 5: Clay, I gotta tell you, I think, you know, we

1007
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 5: were talking about whether they double down on the crazy

1008
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 5: or run toward the center on the trans issue, and

1009
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 5: I think there's a case to be made in both directions.

1010
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 2: We talked about that.

1011
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 5: I think Democrats are going to have to go back

1012
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 5: to where they were in the nineties on the crime thing,

1013
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 5: where they're not going to be fully on board, but

1014
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 5: they are going to move toward, if not the center,

1015
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 5: towards sanity. Nobody wants to be in a city where

1016
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 5: old people are being bludgeoned by maniacs who are half

1017
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 5: naked or fully naked running around the street when they

1018
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 5: should be incarcerated because they've already been arrested fifty times.

1019
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 6: It looks like again, because California is voting so slowly,

1020
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:44,279
Speaker 6: we don't even freaking know yet. I think they're still

1021
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 6: at like eighty two or eighty three percent eight days

1022
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 6: later of the vote. Tallly looks like Trump's gonna lose

1023
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 6: California by around twenty points, which is actually pretty good

1024
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,720
Speaker 6: for a Republican in recent history and is one reason

1025
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 6: he's winning the popular vote, because he's not losing California

1026
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 6: thirty points or some such. But also buck if you

1027
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 6: go behind the numbers. Californians overwhelmingly voted to end essentially

1028
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 6: amnesty for shoplifting and say, hey, let's actually enforce the

1029
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 6: laws so we don't have to have toothpaste behind lock

1030
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 6: and key because everything is getting stolen. They overwhelmingly voted

1031
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 6: in general for sanity to return. The DA in La lost,

1032
00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 6: the mayor in San Francisco lost, the number of left

1033
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 6: leaning state office holders who gave up their jobs because finally,

1034
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 6: so many Californians just got fed up with incompetence. Voting

1035
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 6: for Trump was a bridge too far, voting for sanity

1036
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 6: was not, And even voting for Trump.

1037
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 3: He swung a lot of people, even in California.

1038
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 5: Do you have a little soft spot for Carville from

1039
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 5: back in the day, Clay, just because he was kind

1040
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 5: of one of the earlies in our business.

1041
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 2: Are you would you say you like Carville a bit

1042
00:54:59,400 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 2: of those times?

1043
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 5: Because I'm about to play at Carville clip, But I

1044
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 5: feel like you have a respect for Carville.

1045
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 2: Am I missing? Am I?

1046
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that's true.

1047
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 6: Look, I like people who tell you exactly what they think,

1048
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 6: even if sometimes I disagree with them, and that's actually

1049
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 6: rare in media, whether it's on the left or the right.

1050
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,879
Speaker 6: You talked about Joe Scarborough, I have no respect for him.

1051
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 6: If he sometimes had intelligent takes, I would say, you know,

1052
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 6: I disagree with him. But when he tells us that

1053
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 6: eighty two year old Joe Biden is the best version

1054
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 6: of Biden, it's such a propagandistic lie that I can't

1055
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 6: trust him anymore.

1056
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 3: Carville.

1057
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 5: Would you say Carville can't be he can't be totally crazy.

1058
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 5: He's married to Mary Madeline, who who I know is

1059
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 5: a lovely person, and I believe actually guest hosted for

1060
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 5: Rush at one point. So yeah, he did the team

1061
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 5: remind me. So you know, he's got his feet on

1062
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 5: the ground. He may see things differently or wrongly, on

1063
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 5: a bunch of things. But he's not one of these

1064
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 5: Democrats who lives on another planet. I bring this up

1065
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 5: because I think he sees what's been done to the

1066
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,720
Speaker 5: Democrat Party of the nineties where he had a strong

1067
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 5: voice in the Clinton era, and he's like, do you

1068
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,000
Speaker 5: guys wanted to keep getting your butts kicked? This has

1069
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 5: cut sixteen play it.

1070
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 7: All of the Washington based Democrats farting around, going to

1071
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 7: wine and cheese parties and talking about how misogy and

1072
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 7: mistig I start and get your ass out of Washington

1073
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 7: and go work on a twenty twenty six campaign and

1074
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 7: do penance to make up for you damn arrogance and stupidity.

1075
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 7: We're not can say, well, We're going to say we

1076
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 7: told you so. We told you this identity was disaster.

1077
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,479
Speaker 7: We told you to get out in front of public

1078
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 7: safety issues.

1079
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:34,800
Speaker 2: You didn't. You didn't.

1080
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 7: We told you to have an open process and demonstrate

1081
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 7: the magnificent and staggering and deep talented exist in the

1082
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 7: mind Democrat Party.

1083
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 8: You didn't.

1084
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 7: We told you to differentiate yourself a Biden.

1085
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 2: You didn't.

1086
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 7: I hate to be some know at all, but all

1087
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,280
Speaker 7: of these things are part of the record.

1088
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 5: Now I think he might have said Kamalo is going

1089
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 5: to win, but I think that goes in the oh.

1090
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 5: I have to push for my gal, uh, you know,

1091
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 5: bucket of of decision making. But Clay, everything that he's

1092
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 5: saying there is true. And it's funny because as an American,

1093
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 5: I hope that Democrats listen to him. As a Republican,

1094
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 5: I kind of want them to keep whinding about trans

1095
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 5: guys and women's sports.

1096
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 3: Listen to this buck.

1097
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:22,160
Speaker 6: Christine Amanpour, who was probably the Queen Christian christ Christie

1098
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 6: Apologize Christian, confronted him for saying that there were too

1099
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 6: many preachy females in the Democrat Party that were turning

1100
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 6: off male voters and asked him about that directly, and

1101
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 6: he did not back down.

1102
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 3: Listen to this buck. You're gonna like cut twenty five

1103
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 3: last spring, you said, you know, a suspicion of mine

1104
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 3: is that there are too many preachy females dominating the

1105
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 3: culture of the Democratic Party. Do you stand by that females?

1106
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 7: Would you look at our male vote? Would somebody just

1107
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 7: take a look at how we did with males and

1108
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 7: how we did with non white males and tell me

1109
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 7: that the Democrats don't have have a messaging problem that

1110
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 7: the message comes across as too feminine. I mean, of

1111
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 7: course I was right when I said that. Yeah, I

1112
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 7: don't think there's not a person in the world I've

1113
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 7: talked to that doubts that I'm right. Right now, I

1114
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 7: say forvocative things to get a provocative reaction, Yeah, but

1115
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 7: are you really? Are somebody going to really tell me

1116
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 7: we don't have a problem with mail voters?

1117
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 5: Can I tell you I like Salty Carville, who's going

1118
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 5: around dunking on his own team.

1119
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 2: It's pretty funny.

1120
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 3: Well, look, he's a dude. This is what I said.

1121
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 6: You asked a good question, like who is the face

1122
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 6: of the Democrat party?

1123
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 3: Right now?

1124
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 6: Let me just ask this question of men. Can you

1125
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 6: name a Democrat you'd like to have a beer with?

1126
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 6: That was a question back in the day, And I

1127
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 6: understand Biden and Trump neither one drink, so it's a

1128
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 6: figurative thing.

1129
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 3: Can you name a guy that you'd.

1130
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 6: Like to have chicken wings with and watch Buffalo wings

1131
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 6: and watch a football game with? Can you name a

1132
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 6: Democrat you wouldn't mind being seated next.

1133
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 3: To at a big football game? I can't name one.

1134
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 6: Buck, I can't name a dude in the Democrat Party

1135
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 6: right now that leave aside politics. I would like to

1136
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 6: have a beer with sit and watch a football game with.

1137
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 5: I just want to say to everybody, I don't want

1138
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 5: to forget. I don't want to let just either things

1139
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 5: in the past go like this right now, somewhere, Gavin Newsom,

1140
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:23,080
Speaker 5: he's crying tears that his man, Clay Travis. They used

1141
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 5: to sit on the beach in Malibu. He had three

1142
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 5: shirt buttons down, you know, talking to Clay, drinking his

1143
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 5: chardonnay from his own vineyard, Clay picked by his own hands,

1144
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 5: talking about democracy, and now Clay is just bailing on

1145
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 5: Handsome Newsom look at this.

1146
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,760
Speaker 6: To be fair to Newsome, he might be my pick

1147
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,560
Speaker 6: if I had to pick somebody, but I wouldn't be

1148
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 6: excited about it.

1149
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 3: This would be.

1150
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 6: Like three am at the bar and there's not a

1151
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 6: lot of girls left, and there's not a lot of

1152
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 6: guys left either. And you don't typically end up with

1153
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 6: the homecoming King and the homecoming Queen riding off into

1154
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 6: the sunset at three am from your neighborhood bar.

1155
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna I'm gonna say this, and it might

1156
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 5: get uh, you know, I don't know. I got to

1157
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 5: ask our good puddy, good buddy Sean Parnell, who's you know,

1158
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 5: mister Pennsylvania Army veteran, great guy on our Clay and

1159
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 5: Buck podcast network, by the way, which you should definitely

1160
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 5: listen to him. There he does Battleground by Sean Parnell.

1161
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 5: You know, if you had to have a if you

1162
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 5: have a Democrat you sit down with to have a

1163
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 5: normal conversation, right now, somebody who's I'm sure there's some

1164
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 5: members of the House who are actually pretty normal dudes,

1165
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 5: but we just don't really know who they are.

1166
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe I'm.

1167
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 5: Giving them too much credit, but there's probably you know,

1168
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 5: there's some veterans in there who unfortunately have been led

1169
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 5: astray by.

1170
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 2: Like oh it's about like women's choice over their bodies

1171
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 2: or whatever.

1172
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 5: But I think Fetterman, I he's not technically an independent yet, right,

1173
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 5: I think he's going in that still direction.

1174
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 3: He's still a Democrat.

1175
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 2: Now.

1176
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:47,959
Speaker 6: The reason I hate to take a shot, I don't

1177
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 6: know that Fetterman can have actually a great conversation, chilling

1178
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 6: side by side, right, I mean, just I mean, is

1179
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 6: he a fun guy to hang out with and and chat.

1180
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 6: I think he's been one hundred percent right on Israel.

1181
01:00:58,320 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 6: I think he's right on a lot of things that

1182
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 6: he tweets.

1183
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 5: But is he gonna be thinking he's a pretty normal

1184
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 5: I think he's a pretty normal dude in so far

1185
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 5: as you could say things to him. I mean, here's

1186
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 5: the real test. Yeah, like the real pro test. Okay,

1187
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 5: And this is again they always try to make this

1188
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 5: about something.

1189
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 2: It's not.

1190
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 5: If somebody is a trans adult, you speak to that

1191
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 5: human being with dignity, with kindness, they're a fellow American,

1192
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 5: or just a fellow human being if they're not American.

1193
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 5: But you know, it's not about being unkind or mean

1194
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 5: to people. But in the sports issue, now, this is

1195
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 5: about consequences for other people.

1196
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 2: This isn't just an individual choice. This is and women

1197
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 2: have been hurt.

1198
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:38,120
Speaker 5: And as a man, men hurting women makes any real

1199
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:43,040
Speaker 5: man very pissed off. Okay, anytime any guy who's truly

1200
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 5: a man hears about a woman, whether it's a guy

1201
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 5: who's abusing a spouse or a girlfriend, or a guy

1202
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 5: who's beating up girls in the boxing ring, you know,

1203
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 5: this pisss off normal men. Right, And if you sit down,

1204
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 5: you have that conversation and me say, don't isn't it crazy?

1205
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 2: This is really a lit test.

1206
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 5: Any guy you sit down with and you say, this

1207
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 5: biological male is, you know, breaking all the records for

1208
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 5: women in the sport. Isn't that gross? If they don't agree,

1209
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 5: then the woke mind virus has gotten them and their

1210
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 5: t levels are dropping and they're not really a man.

1211
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 2: That's just where we are now.

1212
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,840
Speaker 5: And I don't there a letterman would go along with

1213
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. I think fetterman would say, yeah,

1214
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 5: you're right, that's crazy.

1215
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1216
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 6: And by the way, it also can just be that

1217
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 6: they're not willing to speak truth to their party because

1218
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 6: they're afraid of what just happened.

1219
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 2: I mean, one on one Clay, to be clear. I

1220
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 2: just want to because I've had this.

1221
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 5: I've had this with Democrats and I will not out

1222
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 5: them because I have friends who are Democrats, or they're like, yeah,

1223
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 5: that that transport stuff is nuts, and then they will

1224
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 5: go on MSNBC.

1225
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 2: And be like trans women are real women, you know.

1226
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 5: Because they don't want that. They don't want the hate,

1227
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 5: they don't want the death threats. I have friends who

1228
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 5: have gone wrong. Rogue if you will on the trans thing,

1229
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 5: meaning they're like, yeah, you have a penis, you're a man,

1230
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 5: and they get death threats for it, real thing.

1231
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 6: I feel good about their chance of winning the battle there.

1232
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 6: I don't think there's I'm not worried about a chick

1233
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 6: who's pretending to be a dude taking hold. No, no, no,

1234
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 6: that happens.

1235
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 2: It's never.

1236
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 5: This is important though, Clay, I'm sorry. It's not trans

1237
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 5: people sending the death threats. It's not trans people. It's

1238
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 5: people who are so upset about the wrong speak on

1239
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 5: the trans issue that they become violent and insane. You

1240
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,919
Speaker 5: know what, it's basically white can of say it's white progressives.

1241
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 5: They're the ones that are the craziest.

1242
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 6: And they're also the ones, to James Carvel's point, who

1243
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 6: are destroying the Democrat Party. And so far we're not

1244
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 6: seeing a lot of self reflection about how broken some

1245
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 6: of these arguments are and how dishonest they are. And again,

1246
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 6: I would just circle back. I mean, I'm curious what

1247
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 6: your answers would be. Can you name a guy who's

1248
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 6: an elected national Democrat figure that's statewide or certainly a

1249
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 6: governor who thinks about running for president?

1250
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 3: I can't name one that i'd want to.

1251
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 5: SA think Seth Moulton would have been high on the list.

1252
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 5: And you've been pointing out he stepped into the trans

1253
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 5: bear trap.

1254
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 2: If you will. I mean he's a pretty normalish seamen dude.

1255
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 2: I mean he seems somewhat dude like.

1256
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,440
Speaker 6: I mean, give him credit for actually being willing to

1257
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 6: speak out. But I think this is why the man

1258
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 6: issue with Democrats is not going away. I think it's

1259
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 6: gonna get worse in twenty eight before it gets better again.

1260
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 6: We'll see if they can have somebody emerge who is

1261
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 6: not very well known right now to combat this, But

1262
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 6: I just don't see it. William Gilbert enlisted in the

1263
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 6: US Army to become part of something meaningful. He loved

1264
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,800

1270
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 6: While on patrol one day, a soldier from william squad

1271
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:47,320

01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:08,240
